"That's not right …" "How do you know mufei has this hairpin and it's been taken out?" Duan Zitong only found out about this when her mother was about to die. Her brother wasn't present then!
"As long as you wish... There's nothing you don't know... Mufei must have hoped that this hairpin could be buried with her … " Duan Xingyi calmly spoke as his gaze landed on the hairpin.
Just like that, a storm was solved by a hairpin. As he watched Duan Zitong's departing figure, the smile on Duan Xingyi's face became even deeper. He hadn't had tea with his father for three days, so he had to find it.
The setting sun gradually sank as the new moon rose into the east. The autumn wind, mixed with a hint of chilliness, blew in through the window. The candles within the room flickered, almost extinguished by the wind!
"Royal Consort … "Your servant has something that I don't know whether or not I should ask …" The autumn moon lifted the tray in her hands, walked to the window, and closed it!
"Go ahead and ask …" In front of the embroidery cloth, Duan Mu Yan's fingers danced like flying needles as the Lovers before her were vivid and lifelike!
"Actually... Actually, when you were in the Moon Palace... "Your servant isn't doubting the wangfei, but rather spreading rumors all around. Your servant is afraid that Prince will believe it …" Qiu Yue cowered as she spoke, worriedly looking at Duan Mu Yan!
Speechless, Duan Mu Yan lightly pricked the silver needle in her hand onto the cloth before turning to look at Qiu Yue!
"I know you mean well, but nothing happened to me in the Moon Flower Hall!" The rumors stop with the wise. As long as we ignore them, I believe that one day, the truth will come out! " Duan Moyan's cherry lips slightly opened as her clear eyes revealed her usual elegant calmness! Then, he continued to pick up the silver needles and began to draw the words' lovebirds with wings' on the embroidered cloth!
"Yue'er understands. Your Lovers' embroidery is for the prince, right?" Qiu Yue heaved a sigh of relief inwardly, then walked to the side of Duan Mu Yan and spoke in a low voice!
Her hands halted slightly, and a bitter light flashed in her eyes. However, in the blink of an eye, she had recovered to her original state.
"It's for royal brother. Since we're embroidering now, we shouldn't be flustered when royal brother gets married …" She calculated the date, it would be a long time since she had seen her royal brother. She was truly lost in her thoughts.
"Oh …" Actually... Actually, in the days that you went missing, His Highness didn't sleep well for a day, and he even personally came to find you … "So …" Qiu Yue probed. She could see that the prince had an imperial concubine in his heart. If that wasn't the case, then there was no need to be so anxious!
"Alright now …" I know... It's getting late, you can go and rest … "I'll embroider a little more, you don't have to accompany me …" She knew what Xiao Lingfeng cared about. He was afraid that if there was a chance of it happening, he would bring disaster to the entire Xiao family, so in his heart, he would never care about his own safety. Just like in his heart, there would never be the existence of this person! Furthermore … Even if she really had something on her mind, royal father would not punish her … Because in royal father's eyes, there was no daughter like her.
Watching as Qiu Yue left the room, Duan Mu Yan shook her head lightly, abandoning all thoughts of thinking. She didn't want to think about it any longer, she only felt sadness.
The wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, the windows were rustling from the wind, and with a 'bang', the windows finally couldn't withstand the biting cold of the wind and opened with a 'bang'. Duan Mu Yan couldn't help but slightly tremble for a moment, then she put down the needle and thread in her hand and lightly walked to the window with two steps to close it!
Just as Duan Mu Yan turned around, a snaking red dress appeared in front of her. Her handsome and devilish face was so close to her face that Duan Mu Yan could feel her hot, wet breath coming from her! Before Duan Muyan could react, Shangguan Wuye's hand had already wrapped around her waist, her curvaceous red lips revealing a trace of a demonic smile.
"One day apart feels like three years. Three days gone means ten whole years …" Wu Ye really can't let you go in his heart … " Shangguan Wuye's peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed as he stared at the pale Duan Mu Yan in front of him!
"Asgard Mistress, please behave yourself!" Her ice-cold voice had no warmth to it, and while she was still stunned, Duan Muyan abruptly pulled away from Shangguan Wuye's embrace, a sullen expression leaping onto her face!
"Do I look down on myself?" Shangguan Wu Ye shrugged his shoulders and looked at Duan Mu Yan innocently. His expression made it seem as if he had been wronged!
"This is not a place Asgard Mistress should be! Asgard Mistress, please leave quickly! "Otherwise..." Before Duan Muyan's words had even finished, Shangguan Wuye had already spoken!
"Otherwise what? Mu Yan, you are really heartless … I came to see you out of good intentions, so if you encounter any trouble, I can help you explain … Why are you chasing me out so quickly? "I can't get hurt …" Shangguan Wuye held his chest with both hands, pretending to be sad!
"You! What do you want to do?! " Duan Mu Yan looked at the enchanting face before her, her beauty so beautiful that it was hard to distinguish between a male and female, and coldly questioned!
"I think about it a lot, but …" Forget it! I just wanted to be a good person and explain the situation to your husband. Even if I had taken off your clothes that day, nothing had happened between us … How about it? That... There was no need to get so excited, right? "It's just a small matter …" Seeing that the bottom of Duan Muyan's eyes were sparkling, and that she had casually picked up the scissors from the basket, Shangguan Wuye choked.
"Please leave, you are not welcome here, never!" Duan Muyan's voice was filled with bone-piercing hatred as she pointed the scissors in her hand straight at the man in front of her! Even if she was incredibly beautiful, it wasn't a reason for him to do whatever he wanted!
"Cough, cough …" Calm down … "I really came to see you out of good intentions. If there's someone who doesn't believe your innocence, I can explain …" Indeed, this was the reason why he had come, especially after Xiao Jin Feng had gone to the Yue Hua Palace to demand help!
"No need!" Duan Moyan continued to stare at Qin Wentian coldly, her eyes as cold as ice! Speechless, Shangguan Wuye knew that even if what he said was true, Duan Mu Yan might not believe it! However, upon seeing that Duan Mu Yan was safe and sound, he could finally relax! Regarding his abnormal actions, Shangguan Wuye had blamed it all on that bad friend of his.
Before Duan Mu Yan could even see clearly, he heard a 'bang' sound. In the blink of an eye, Mo Hong Chang had already disappeared without a trace, only leaving the sound of the window swaying!
The scissors fell to the ground with a thud. Duan Muyan retreated two steps, her tensed heart slightly relaxed at this moment. Feeling the chill, Duan Muyan slowly walked two steps forward and closed the window! However, something unexpected happened again!
With a 'bang', the door was kicked open from the outside. Duan Mu Yan suddenly turned around and saw Xiao Jin Feng rushing in with a face filled with the smell of alcohol, closing the door behind him!
"Your Highness …" "It's so late …" After a moment of surprise, she feigned calmness and spoke. However, before she could finish her sentence, her delicate wrist was violently grasped in Xiao Lingfeng's hand!
"Speak!" "Who is that person?!" Xiao Jin Feng abruptly pulled Duan Mu Yan in front of him. His sculptured and perfect face was filled with a ruthless aura, and he drew closer and closer. The oppressive feeling that followed made Duan Mu Yan unable to breathe!
"Your consort doesn't know who the prince is talking about …" Duan Mu Yan really wanted to escape, but her jade wrist was firmly grasped by Xiao Jin Feng, making it impossible for her to dodge!
"Who is it?!" I just saw a shadow running out of your door! "You still dare to ask who I am?!" Xiao Jingfeng reeked of alcohol, his eyes were red, and his body was still swaying a little!
"Your Highness must have drunk too much. There's no one in this concubine's room. I don't believe that Your Highness can search …" She knew that Xiao Lingfeng did not see clearly that Shangguan Wu Ye did not run out from the door, and coupled with the alcohol reeking from Xiao Jin Feng's body, after thinking about it for a while, Duan Mu Yan decided to keep quiet about Shangguan Wu Ye! She didn't want to cause any trouble!
Search? So be it! Just you wait! " Xiao Jin Feng held onto Duan Mu Yan with one hand and swayed his body as though he was stepping on clouds. His blurry eyes swept across the entire room and when his gaze landed on the embroidered cloth, his deep eyes immediately darkened!
"What is this?!" The smell of alcohol gradually grew stronger as Xiao Jin Feng pulled at Duan Mu Yan with his other hand while he pointed at the embroidered mandarin ducks and spoke in anger! There was still a slight tremble on his fingertips.
"This is the wedding item that chenqie has embroidered for royal brother …" Duan Muyan truthfully said, her eyes cold and emotionless!
"Ha!" Something to be married off to? There was nothing worth three hundred taels of silver in this place! Duan Mu Yan! The emperor had never proposed marriage to the First Prince, so how could he possibly get married! When you return from the Moon Palace, you must embroider something like a lovebirds! I'll let you embroider! I'll let you embroider! " Perhaps it was due to the influence of the strong alcohol, but at this moment, Xiao Jin Feng seemed to have lost all sense of reason as he dropped Duan Mu Yan onto the ground. He walked towards the embroidered cloth in large strides.
"Don't... Xiao Jingfeng! You're going too far! " Tears rolled down from the corners of Duan Mu Yan's eyes without warning, and as she watched the sky full of broken pieces falling disorderly onto the ground, Duan Mu Yan gritted her teeth. From start to finish, she didn't know what mistake she had made to be bullied and humiliated time and time again! Hatred slowly materialized! Duan Mu Yan could no longer ignore the pent-up resentment in her heart. She suddenly stood up and snatched the embroidered cloth from Xiao Jin Feng's hand!
"Xiao Jingfeng! Wake up! I've already been embroidering this embroidery for more than half a month! It has absolutely nothing to do with the Moon Splendor Hall! " Looking at the torn mandarin duck in her hands, Duan Mu Yan's heart ached as she screamed with all her might!
"More than half a month... Heh … Hehe … You admit it! Duan Mu Yan! You finally admitted it yourself! "Bring it here …" Drunk, Xiao Jin Feng crazily snatched the embroidered cloth from Duan Mu Yan's hands and continued to ruthlessly tear it apart!
"Xiao Jingfeng! You... Your Highness, you must have had too much to drink. This humble one will not bother with you about this matter, but please leave Mu Yan's room! " Her ice-cold voice didn't have a trace of warmth to it. Duan Mu Yan suppressed the anger in her heart as she slowly spoke. She could tell that Xiao Jin Feng had drunk a lot of wine, and it wasn't even by a little bit. Even if she wanted to seek justice, she had to wait for Xiao Jingfeng to wake up from his stupor!
"Too much?! Who?! Me?! Good... Good, good, good … Even if This King drinks too much, my heart is bright! Duan Mu Yan! Don't you dare?! Who was this mandarin duck embroidered for?! Say it! " Both of Xiao Jin Feng's eyes were scarlet red, the veins on his forehead bulging as he looked at the girl before him with a misty gaze. His chest felt as if it was burning with alcohol!
"Mu Yan has made it very clear that she is giving it to royal brother …" Seeing the ruthless Xiao Jin Feng in front of her, Duan Mu Yan's eyebrows were tightly knitted as she coldly replied!
"That's not right!" It was for Yu Xuan... Duan Mu Yan! The lovebirds are embroidered for Xiao Yuxuan! Is that right? " Xiao Lingfeng's cold gaze burst with extreme anger. He wanted to walk in front of Duan Mu Yan, but his body couldn't stop shaking. He sat down slouched on the wooden chair!
