Ever since the last incident, Xiao Yang had always been in a panic. Duan Yunfei didn't come back last night, and was so shocked that she didn't sleep the entire night. However, she didn't know where she should go to find Duan Yunfei.
Fortunately, she had returned safely.
Xiao Yang, who was at the side, couldn't help but cry as he watched Duan Yunfei not say a single word.
"What's wrong with you? What are you crying for?" Duan Yunfei didn't know what happened to Xiao Yang as she pulled her arm and asked anxiously.
It would have been better if Duan Yunfei hadn't said anything. The moment she opened her mouth, Xiao Yang's tears fell like beads with a broken string. She reached out her hand, and tightly pulled on Duan Yunfei's sleeve. Duan Yunfei had no choice but to pat her shoulder and hug her tightly.
She knew that since she hadn't returned all night, Xiao Yang didn't know how scared he had become.
"Princess, what happened to you last night? Why didn't you come back for the whole night?" At this time, Xiao Yang was sitting at the table, yet he was still unwilling to give up as he asked Duan Yunfei.
When Duan Yunfei returned, she was extremely weak. In addition, she had lost too much blood, making her face turn even paler. Xiao Yang hurriedly ordered the Kitchen to prepare an entire table of delicious food for Duan Yunfei.
"Do you really want to know?" Duan Yunfei looked at Xiao Yang meaningfully.
Xiao Yang hesitated for a moment, but still nodded at Duan Yunfei.
Seeing Xiao Yang's somewhat impatient look, Duan Yunfei finally told her everything that had happened yesterday.
Without waiting for Duan Yunfei to finish speaking, Xiao Yang stood up immediately and displayed an irrepressible anger. She turned to Duan Yunfei and said, "Princess, out of filial piety, you are going to attend the banquet to offer your birthday wishes to the empress. I didn't expect the queen to use such underhanded methods on you again and again. You don't want to haggle with her. I didn't expect her to get even worse. If this continues, Princess, how will you continue to exist? "
"After all this time and after so many things, Xiao Yang is no longer the same as he was before. Now that she's standing right in front of me, she actually said such sharp words. " Hearing Xiao Yang's words. Duan Yunfei couldn't help but laugh and shake her head at Xiao Yang, "The Empress took this opportunity to threaten me, precisely because she wanted me to speak up for the Fifth Prince in front of royal father. You even want me to borrow the relationship between the Mu Residence and myself and make the Fifth Prince my Crown Prince. "
"A fool's dream." Just as Duan Yunfei finished speaking, Xiao Yang stood up and angrily said to Duan Yunfei: "Princess, I want to go find Young Prince Mu. Let us tell this to Young Prince Mu, Young Prince will definitely think of a way to help us. "
"Absolutely not." Duan Yunfei waved her hands at her, indicating that she should not do this. No matter what, we cannot tell this matter to Mu Chuyang. "
"Why?" Xiao Yang was a little confused, and asked while pulling Duan Yunfei's hand.
Duan Yunfei hesitated for a while, then said to Xiao Yang: "This matter concerns my daughter's family's innocence. Since the Empress could think of using this matter to threaten me, she naturally knows that I won't tell this matter to anyone else."
Hearing Duan Yunfei's words, Xiao Yang instantly became discouraged. He was speechless for a long time.
Instead, it was Duan Yunfei who kept speaking to Xiao Yang from the side, "You don't have to worry about me. The empress wholeheartedly wanted to let the Fifth Prince take the throne, but she actually wanted to use this method to force me to submit. You want me to serve the Fifth Prince, you're really underestimating me too much right?"
Xiao Yang still wanted to say something, but after hearing Duan Yunfei's solemn look, he nodded his head at her.
The next morning. Duan Yunfei went over to pay her respects. Coincidentally, she met the Queen.
"Greetings, royal father." Yuwen Di was sitting beside his table as he read the imperial reports, when he suddenly heard Duan Yunfei's voice.
Yuwen Di raised his head, looked at Duan Yunfei, and waved for her to sit beside him. Little Thirteen, why did you leave that day at the empress's birthday banquet without even eating? This caused us to look for you for a long time. "
Duan Yunfei laughed but did not reply, and could not help but raise her head. The wound on her neck was revealed.
Yuwen Di was also shocked. He moved in front of Duan Yunfei and tightly pulled her lapel as he asked: "Little Thirteen, just what happened? How did your neck become like this? "
The empress was at the side grinding the ink for Yuwen Di. Hearing Yuwen Di's voice, his heart couldn't help but tremble a little.
Fortunately, Duan Yunfei had covered up well. She reached out her hand to pull up the lapel of her clothes, then said to Yuwen Di in a spoiled manner: "royal father is overthinking it, it was only because this son accidentally knocked on the ground yesterday when I left that I became like this."
As soon as Duan Yunfei finished speaking, the Empress slowly heaved a sigh of relief.
Hearing Duan Yunfei's words, Yuwen Di nodded his head, but he could not help but frown at Duan Yunfei. He looked at her with concern and said, "Little Thirteen, even though you are already this old, you still act like a fidgety person. We should be more careful in the future. "
"Thirteenth Princess's personality has always been so straightforward and casual. Now that the Emperor wants her to change it, it's not good for her to change it." Hearing Yuwen Di's words, the Queen smiled and talked to Yuwen Di.
"The empress's words are reasonable, thank you royal father and Empress for your understanding." Duan Yunfei respectfully bowed to the empress, raised his head, and said to the empress word by word. Duan Yunfei's eyes were sharp, as if he was going to pierce into the empress's heart.
"I can tell that your injuries aren't light. Have you ever gone to the imperial physician for diagnosis?" The emperor thought for a moment, then turned and spoke to Duan Yunfei.
Duan Yunfei smiled and shook her head. To reply royal father, this son feels that it's only a small injury. It'll naturally heal in a few days, so there's no need to bother the imperial physician. "
"We can't be this careless." Yuwen Di waved his hand at her and pulled Duan Yunfei's hand as he said, "Not long ago, you had just recovered from your serious illness, and now that you have suffered such heavy superficial wounds, you must be dealt with properly."
Duan Yunfei answered, and said to Yuwen Di: "Father, this son has already paid respects to you, and still has some matters to attend to, so I will not stay here to accompany you. I will come again tomorrow to see you. "
"Since that's the case, you can go down and busy yourself. There's no need to lay down the rules here." Yuwen Di nodded and indicated for Duan Yunfei to leave.
