"Yuxuan, being the crown prince isn't that important to me!" But for Mu Yan, I have to fight for your help! " His cold voice was filled with determination as Duan Jingyang suddenly stood up and ruthlessly slapped Xiao Yuxuan with both hands! Clang! This time, he was determined to compete with Duan Xingyi.

"I will!" Xiao Yuxuan nodded his head vigorously, the starlight in her eyes resplendent. This was the first time he saw fighting spirit in Duan Jingyang's eyes.

Sage Storage Pavilion.

His slender jade-like fingers played with the jade pendant on his waist. At the side, a maidservant put the freshly plucked grapes into his mouth, and a sweet and sour taste lingered in his mouth. His eyes, which were as deep as the sea, emitted an unusual light, making him seem extremely intoxicated.

"Reporting to the Second Prince, Seventh Princess …" Before the maidservant could finish speaking, Duan Zitong had already rushed into the room. When she saw the scene before him, the anger in her heart surged!

"All of you, retreat for me!" Duan Zitong's gloomy voice sounded like the roar of a bird. The maidservants all retreated like birds and closed their doors. Duan Zitong quickly walked up to Duan Xingyi and stomped her feet!

"Xingyi! Why do you still have the heart to eat this thing here?! He was going to give away the crown prince's position to others! Aren't you in a hurry?! I heard that Zhu Xu and Dou Jing, those two old things, said that no matter what, they would not agree to have their Imperial Father pass down the position of Crown Prince to you! And that Xiao Lingfeng! He still strongly opposed it! With the three of them leading the way, the motley crowd naturally followed their lead. At present, more than half of the people in the imperial court were opposed to the father's proposal! What should we do?! " Duan Zitong's face was ashen, and veins were popping out from her forehead. Her originally handsome appearance had long since become so hideous that they could not be described with words!

"Aiya! Xing Yi! Say something! Do you want to hurry up and kill Big Sister?! " Seeing Duan Xingyi's calm and composed expression, Duan Zitong was so anxious that she wanted to rush forward and pull Duan Xingyi up!

"Why are you in such a hurry, royal sister? This result was within my expectations... Isn't it just that there were people who objected … Then let them object... "Not to mention half of the people who disagree, even if everyone disagrees, the result will still be the same. I've already confirmed my position as crown prince …" Still in that lazy position, Duan Xingyi's thin lips slightly parted. His deep eyes flickered with an unfathomable light, like a serene ocean!

"You … Are you joking?! " Duan Zitong looked at her younger brother in astonishment. There was not a trace of shock on her handsome face!

"When did Xing Yi ever joke around with you, royal sister?! However … "This time, I really do have something that I need royal sister's help with …" Duan Xingyi slowly rose to his feet and walked over to Duan Zitong. He gently placed him on a chair and lightly pursed his lips, causing them to curve in a very relaxed manner!

"What …" "What's going on?" Duan Zitong looked suspiciously at Zhang Junyan. She had no idea what Duan Xingyi was thinking!

"I heard that the person who supports me the most in the court is the censor, Rao Ran Tian, right?" Duan Xingyi spoke leisurely as he poured a cup of tea and passed it to Duan Zitong!

"That's right!" Your royal sister was just planning to secretly send him some money! " Duan Zitong nodded slightly before accepting the teacup!

"Does royal sister know why that Tian Kou Ren would wholeheartedly approve of me being the crown prince?" Duan Xingyi slowly sat down and said indifferently!

"Of course it's because he knows what's good for him. Royal father doted on you so he naturally wants to please you. When you become emperor in the future, you will definitely not let him down …" Duan Zitong said self-righteously.

Duan Xingyi couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the matter-of-fact expression on Duan Zitong's face!

"Sister Huang is only half right. He indeed wants to curry favor with someone, but that person is not me!" Duan Xingyi lightly lifted the tea lid and the tea leaves floating on top of it began to speak leisurely!

"Who could it be?"

"It's royal father! With his foolish loyalty, as long as royal father speaks, regardless of right or wrong, he will wholeheartedly support them! "So we don't need to accept this favor. Imperial Father knows what he's doing …" Duan Xingyi's beautiful eyes slightly narrowed as they flickered with light. His beautiful thin lips lightly sucked in a mouthful of green tea as the fragrance of tea wafted through the air, lingering in his nostrils!

"So what? Wouldn't fawning on royal father fawn on you?! Is there any difference? " Duan Zitong was completely confused when she heard this. She had no idea what Duan Xingyi was up to!

"The difference is great! "This is also the reason why Xing Yi requested for the imperial sister to send people to kill Tian Gongzi …" Duan Xingyi returned to the main topic as his eyes became solemn!

"What?!" Duan Zitong's voice shook as she looked at her younger brother in shock!

"Kill Tian Gongzi!" Duan Xingyi spoke with a straight face. He didn't have the intention to joke around!

"Xingyi! Are you crazy?! Even if they wanted to kill him, they could only kill Zhu Xu and Dou Jing! How could it be Tian Gongzi! Don't forget! Tian Kairen approves of you! If you kill him! "Who else dares to stand up for you …" Duan Zitong's beautiful eyes widened as he exclaimed in disbelief!

"Royal sister, you are really a fool …" Think about it, that Tian Juren was secretly appointed by royal father. If he were to die, how would royal father react? Duan Xingyi's pupils slightly flickered, the light within dripping like ice!

After a while, Duan Zitong finally came to a realization!

"So that's how it is …" Xingyi, this step of yours is indeed wise … "My royal sister admires you …" Duan Zitong's expression changed from shock to delight as he pursed his lips into a smile.

Xiao Wang Mansion's study.

Dressed in a light pink robe, Duan Muyan was holding a bowl of soup she had just brewed in the kitchen. After pausing for a long time, she finally knocked on the door! After that night, Duan Mu Yan initially wanted to lock herself in her room, as she had no relationship with Xiao Jin Feng. However, Qiu Yue told her about the matter regarding the Crown Prince. Outside of the palace, besides Xiao Jin Feng, she didn't know who else she could ask! For her royal brother, she would give it a try no matter how hard it was to face him!

"Enter!" A clear and cold voice sounded out from within the room. Duan Mu Yan retracted the grievance and helplessness in her eyes before slowly pushing open the door and entering! In front of the table, Xiao Lingfeng's sword-like eyebrows were slightly furrowed as he lowered his eyes to examine the case file before him. Even when Duan Mu Yan walked to the side, she did not notice!

"Your Highness …" "After a tiring day, you should take a rest and drink some ginseng soup …" Her gentle voice was mixed with a trace of uncertainty. Duan Mu Yan didn't know how Xiao Jin Feng would react when he saw her, nor did she know if she would ask about her royal brother.

The Wolf Bristle in his hand suddenly stopped and a large amount of ink dots were left on the xuan paper. Xiao Lingfeng suddenly raised his head and saw Duan Moyan standing in front of him with a calm expression.

With just that one glance, Xiao Jingfeng's eyes immediately drooped and his heart thumped. His deep eyes carried a trace of panic, not knowing where to land!

"Ugh …" "Got it …" Without saying much, Xiao Lingfeng only responded indifferently. His gaze seemed to fall upon the case file in front of him, but in reality, he was in a trance!

Seeing that Xiao Lingfeng did not have much of a reaction, Duan Mu Yan's gaze dimmed. She directly placed the bowl of soup on the table, but still did not have the intention of leaving! She was trying to figure out how to speak without being rude!

"Your highness has been busy these past few days, chenqie …" Is there something tricky going on in the morning? " Duan Mu Yan probed, but the flustered Xiao Jin Feng didn't hear Duan Mu Yan's concern at all, and was only focused on writing something on the case file!

"Fortunately …" Xiao Jingfeng replied casually, the wolf in his hand still had no intention of stopping! Seeing how cold Xiao Lingfeng was, Duan Moyan felt a chill in her heart. Perhaps her visit this time around was unnecessary.

"Don't know …" About the Crown Prince... "The court can come to a conclusion..." In the end, Duan Mu Yan refused to let go of the only way to know the truth and continued asking!

"Mm …" Xiao Jingfeng pretended to be calm, but his thoughts were as messy and wild as the hair on a wolf's hand! Xiao Jin Feng's response once again confirmed his indifference. Duan Mu Yan lowered her gaze as a trace of bitterness flashed past the corners of her lips. She then turned and walked to the door!

Just as Duan Mu Yan was about to open the door and leave, Xiao Jin Feng's voice suddenly came from behind!

"The Emperor originally wanted to appoint Duan Xingyi as Crown Prince, but more than half of the people in the imperial court would support the First Prince, including the Old Prime Minister and General Dou Jing Jing … This King... This King is also a subordinate of the Ancestor... " At the moment when Duan Mu Yan turned around, Xiao Jin Feng suddenly understood the intentions of her visit. No matter what, he was the first to act recklessly that night.

However, she didn't expect that her royal father would really break through the ancestral system and change into a crown prince. Other than her disappointment, what she still had hope for was the insistence of more than half of the people in the imperial court.

"Your consort will not disturb Your Highness anymore …" "Chenqie will take her leave …" All of the panic gradually subsided, but his heart was unable to calm down. Thinking back to what happened that night, Xiao Jingfeng really wanted to fiercely beat himself up. If he really did something he shouldn't have done, how could he face Shi Rou, who had already passed away! It was a good thing that at this critical moment, Duan Mu Yan let out a loud roar! However, his heart … Why is it so painful … There was even a trace of resentment!

At this time, Xiao Jin Feng couldn't clear his mind of the thoughts in his head. His hand subconsciously picked up the ginseng soup from the table. The moment the soup entered his mouth, Xiao Jin Feng suddenly flung the porcelain bowl against the wall. Xiao Jin Feng's gaze was sharp like a blade as he stared at the scene in front of him. His heart was in a frenzy, how could he drink the ginseng soup brewed by another woman? He had promised Chu Shi Rou before! Why?! Why did he almost forget?

The moment the truth was revealed, Xiao Jingfeng suddenly understood that even though he was torturing himself mercilessly, he was also making innocent people restless as well, so … The punishment he received was all his own fault.

Even though Su Jin Xiu had warned Cui Xin to keep a distance from Feng Xue and Qiu Yue, her words were obviously useless! Not only that, Cui Xin and Feng Xue actually walked closer to Qiu Yue, as if they were specifically going against Su Jin Xiu!

"Qiu Yue, how can we face this …" Feng Xue took the gold-threaded embroidered handkerchief that Autumn Moon handed to her. She loved it so much that she couldn't let it go!

"What's wrong with that? During this time, the wangfei kept asking me to accompany her in her room to embroider. Since I had nothing better to do, I embroidered this for her. Big sister Cui Xin, you still need two more days to finish embroidering …" The cherry lips slightly opened with a face full of smiles!

"Forget it …" "Since the gold thread is so expensive, how can we let you spend it …" Cui Xin pretended to refuse, but in her heart, she had long liked the embroidered cloth in Feng Xue's hands!

"Don't worry, my two sisters. This golden thread is redundant in Princess Hua-Yang's basket. If Princess Wangfei doesn't use it, then so be it. Yue Er didn't spend much money, so long as you two elder sisters like it, I'll be satisfied …" Qiu Yue spoke sincerely, the smile on her face unadulterated!
