After Mu Chuyang left the Red Luan Palace, Duan Yunfei's tensed mind suddenly relaxed. Luckily Mu Chuyang did not ask her to give him the answer today, otherwise, she really did not know what to do.
"Princess... Are you all right? " Xiao Yang was very worried that Duan Yunfei herself would be entangled with this matter. This was also the reason why Xiao Yang had not told Duan Yunfei his feelings for her after all this time.
Duan Yunfei slowly raised her head, and said to Xiao Yang with a stern expression: "Xiao Yang, did you already know?"
"Princess... Young Prince Mu's feelings for you are probably something only you do not know. Xiao Yang originally did not want to say much, but … Princess, think about how difficult it has been for Young Prince Mu to come here all these years. Back then you liked Prince Xiu Heng so much, no, now you should change your name to Prince Xiu Heng. Young Prince Mu will see you chasing after him everyday, how sad will he be? Furthermore, even after Crown Prince Xiu Heng harmed you in order to return to the Xiliang, the Young Prince Mu still helped him back to the Xiliang at your request. If not, how could Sir Xiu Heng be the current Crown Prince of the Xiliang? "
Xiao Yang knew that she was just a palace maid, but if he did not say these words now, he would not have the chance to say them again in the future. Moreover, Xiao Yang hoped that Duan Yunfei could carefully consider Mu Chuyang's suggestion. After all, this was a method to achieve the best of both worlds.
Duan Yunfei did not speak. With lifeless eyes, she seemed to be thinking about something.
At this time, Xiao Ya entered the Red Luan Palace with the pastries she had brought back from the royal kitchen. Xiao Ya had returned in high spirits, she did not expect to discover that there was an unusual aura between Duan Yunfei and her as soon as she entered the Red Luan Palace. Xiao Ya had been in the Red Luan Palace for a long time but she had never seen Duan Yunfei and Xiao Yang being so silent.
Xiao Ya cautiously opened her mouth and said, "Princess, the pastries have been brought back. Would you like to try them now or after a rest?"
Duan Yunfei was still distracted, she did not hear what Xiao Ya had said.
Xiao Yang saw that Duan Yunfei was lost in her thoughts, and was not willing to interrupt her, so he said to Xiao Ya, "Xiao Ya, the princess just drank some tea with Young Prince Mu, so we still don't have enough to eat. You should take down the pastries first, wait for the princess to warm up before bringing them up again. It's none of your business, you go down first. I can stay here. "
Ever since Duan Yunfei had cured Xiao Ya's father's illness, Xiao Ya had always been focused on Duan Yunfei. Seeing Duan Yunfei like this, Xiao Ya was extremely worried, but she also understood that the current situation didn't allow her to talk too much.
"Then, Xiao Ya will take her leave." Xiao Ya quietly left the room and even closed the door before she left. Xiao Ya guessed that Duan Yunfei and Xiao Yang must have something important to say.
Duan Yunfei kept thinking about Mu Chuyang's attitude towards him these past few years.
Duan Yunfei remembered that when she was young, she could not stay idle like she was now. Although Yuwen Di would not allow her to climb trees, she had always been disobedient and Mu Chuyang was always her accomplice.
Every time Duan Yunfei was discovered climbing up the tree, Mu Chuyang would tell him that it was his idea. It was not good for Yuwen Di to punish Mu Chuyang, so every time Mu Chuyang was punished by the Prince Mu.
Every time Mu Chuyang entered the palace, he would bring his most beloved Jade House pastries, never forgetting a single one. Every time Duan Yunfei left the palace, Mu Chuyang would bring her to the tasty restaurant he found, and bring her to listen to new shows to buy her some fun things.
The last time Mu Chuyang went to the border with the Prince Mu, he would send a letter every ten days, mentioning the scenery and local customs of the border. When he returned, he immediately came to see Su Yun. He didn't even have time to return to Mu Residence.
In fact, before Xiu Huang appeared, Duan Yunfei had always thought that Mu Chuyang and Zuo Yuan would definitely get along, at least that was what Duan Yunfei had hoped for. If that was the case, Duan Yunfei could go and find Zuo Yuan from time to time, and she was not afraid of Zuo Yuan's future husband who would gossip about him.
However, the current situation had obviously exceeded Duan Yunfei's imagination. Mu Chuyang's confession was too sincere, and he was temporarily unable to respond.
Actually, those words Duan Yunfei had just said to Mu Chuyang must have hurt him as well. Duan Yunfei clearly saw the heartache on Mu Chuyang's face when he left the Red Luan Palace, and he truly could not bear to see that. If one were to say who the person Duan Yunfei was the most unwilling to harm in this world, it would definitely be Mu Chuyang, right?
"Xiao Yang, tell me, am I not very selfish?"
Xiao Yang didn't know how to return to Duan Yunfei, but the Duan Yunfei in front of her was extremely powerless, just like how Yuwen Di had told her that he would help her discuss that day.
"Princess, don't be too sad." Xiao Yang could not say anything else, and could only console Duan Yunfei.
"Grief? Chu Yang was probably the most hurt one. So it turns out that I unconsciously made use of his affection for me, and I actually … I actually begged him to help me speak up for my royal father. " Duan Yunfei's heart was in pain, if she had known all these, she would never have begged Mu Chuyang.
"Princess, it has been so long since that incident happened. Why do you need to think about it? Princess, didn't you always tell this servant that she had to keep looking forward? Why did you forget about it? " Xiao Yang tried to advise Duan Yunfei, but Xiao Yang knew that with her own strength, she wouldn't be able to do it. It seemed that she needed to send someone to invite Miss Zuo Yuan and Sir Wu Shan.
"But Xiao Yang, how should I look forward? Originally, I was already very annoyed because of this matter, but now … Am I really going to listen to Chu Yang's suggestion? But it wasn't fair to him at all. I had been using him so many times, had I taken advantage of his lifelong happiness this time? "Then how can I forgive myself?"
"Princess, why don't you take a nap first. Don't give yourself too much pressure, didn't Young Prince Mu say that? He will wait for your result. "It's not like tomorrow is going to happen, Princess, don't think too much into it."
