"Housekeeper Zhou, Mu Yan thanks you for your good intentions, but there's no need. Mu Yan is worthy of the heavens and the earth. I didn't kill Yue Er. I believe that her spirit in heaven will give me justice!" How could Duan Moyan allow Zhou Han to be convicted because of her!

"Fight!" With a command, the bailiff pushed Zhou Jun away, and the sturdy wooden board landed on Duan Mu Yan's waist with a 'pa' sound. His injured waist was in unbearable pain!

The moment the wooden board fell, Xiao Jingfeng's hand suddenly clenched, his sword-like eyebrows twisted, and he suddenly really wanted to rush up and kick those bailiffs away.

"Miss, if you have a soul in heaven, then help the secondary wife. This servant believes that she didn't intentionally tear your letter apart …" Su Jin Xiu's words did indeed work. Xiao Jin Feng's leg that had been lifted, was finally down!

On the other side, Duan Zitong's heart was filled with waves of pleasure! What she wanted was the current situation! Even if Duan Mu Yan were to die, he wouldn't let her die so easily!

The staff ruthlessly smashed onto Duan Mu Yan's body. The pain on his body was far less than a thousandth of his heartache. The words of his mufei echoed in his ears again and again: "I can't let others wrongly accuse me!" He couldn't let others wrongly accuse him!

In front of these people, Duan Mu Yan didn't want to shed a single tear. Accompanied by the repeated assaults of the staff, her heart gradually turned ice-cold, and was like a thousand year old snow on the peak of a snowy mountain, unable to melt!

Duan Mu Yan gritted her teeth. Both of her hands were clenched tightly in pain. Her consciousness began to blur as her heart fell to the ground. All of her grievances and unwillingness surged forth at this moment! When darkness descended, Duan Mu Yan knew that her heart had already died!

"My lord, the wangfei has fainted!" At the side. The bailiff spoke the truth!

"That... Since Seventh Princess and the Qi King are both here, then please bear witness for me. The truth is clear now. Even if she doesn't confess, she'll still be caned when she wakes up, so … Grand Master! " Wu Bingcheng had already thought of an excuse long ago, so he turned to look at the Grand Master at the side.

As such, Grand Master naturally knew what to do. Seeing that neither Xiao Jin Feng nor Duan Zitong had responded, he brought the confession letter to Duan Mu Yan and pressed down her fingerprint in front of everyone!

At the side, Xiao Jingfeng swore that he really wanted to speak up and stop him, but in the end, he didn't! A moment of deviation had caused him to have to pay the price of his life.

Imperial Palace Hall.

"Your Majesty! The Third Princess was wrongly accused! She didn't kill anyone! You believe in this humble subject! "You must also believe in the character of your daughter!" These were Xiao Yuxuan's first words after entering the palace.

"Yuxuan, I've called you here to ask you about the case of Tian Juren. How is your investigation going?" Duan Chen could tell how much the man in front of him loved Duan Mu Yan, but it was too late. The current Mu Yan was Xiao Jin Feng's second wife! The man in front of him would become his son-in-law!

"Your majesty!" Xiao Yuxuan's heart was burning with anxiety. He didn't know if Duan Moyan would be able to continue bearing with the punishment department's official hall! He wanted to go back!

"Stop!" Xiao Yuxuan! You're getting bolder and bolder! You actually dare to leave without my permission! I ask you, who did this to Tian Kairen? This has nothing to do with the First Prince! " Duan Chen questioned coldly! Xiao Yuxuan was shocked in his heart. So the Prime Minister was right. The Emperor had really given up on the First Prince!

"Go back to the Emperor! Although this matter has not been investigated thoroughly, this humble subject dares to vouch with my life that this has nothing to do with the First Prince! " At this moment, he also felt that it was unfair for Duan Jingyang and Duan Mu Yan! Both were princes and emperors. If the one wronged in the court was Duan Zitong, would the emperor be so indifferent?!

"This is a very serious matter, you can easily resolve it with just a few words! I have been informed that you have found out that Lord Tian was assassinated! Tian Juren had supported the Second Prince, which was why Jing Yang had resorted to such a vicious method! He really disappoints us! " Duan Chen's face was as cold as ice. No one knew it, but there were times when he felt guilty!

"Your Majesty! It was true that Lord Tian had been assassinated, but not by the First Prince! The time for you to send your humble subject to investigate the case is not up yet! "Your majesty, please give this humble subject some more time, don't come to a conclusion too early!" Xiao Yuxuan said worriedly, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

"Of course, I naturally won't believe the words of others, which is why I summoned you to the palace! Mu Yan's case will be tried by the Ministry of Justice, you just have to do your duty! You should know that Mu Yan is the side wife of the Qi King, and you … Don't tell me you don't know the feelings the Seventh Princess has for you? " Duan Chen's voice was slightly relaxed, as if he was reminding Ye Zichen of something!

"Your majesty, this humble subject dares to ask you!" Xiao Yuxuan slowly raised his eyes and looked directly at the emperor before his. Suddenly, his heart ached. This was Duan Jingyang, and this was also Mu Yan!

"What?" Duan Chen raised his eyebrows. He had never seen Xiao Yuxuan act so solemnly before!

"This subject really wants to know whether Mu Yan is your biological daughter or not. All these years, just when have you ever treated her as your biological daughter?!" Xiao Yuxuan's words were like a sharp blade that stabbed viciously into Duan Chen's heart. That moment of pain caused Duan Chen to look much older!

"How dare you!" Xiao Yuxuan! "You are questioning me!" At this moment, he actually didn't dare to look Xiao Yuxuan in the eye! He was afraid that if his eyes were too sharp, they would see through his heart!

"This humble subject does not dare, this humble subject only wants the Emperor to know that Mu Yan is currently in the court and that everyone is trying to accuse her of murder! She is your daughter. You should know her best! You know how helpless she is now, and how much she wants a little warmth at this moment! Your majesty! This humble subject begs you, Mu Yan is also waiting for you! " Xiao Yuxuan kneeled on the ground, begging for mercy!

After a long time, Duan Chen turned around and looked at Xiao Yuxuan.

"Are you sure that Mu Yan was wronged?" Duan Chen indifferently said, his gaze devoid of any hostility! Just as Xiao Yu Xuan was about to reply, Duan Zitong suddenly walked in!

"Father, you don't need to ask the Imperial Tutor anymore. The third sister has already admitted killing someone and signed a contract with him, and now that she has been sentenced to jail by the Ministry of Justice, I would like to help her get out of this predicament. But there are witnesses and evidence here, and even the king wants to kill someone to pay for it." Duan Zitong lowered her eyes and sighed, yet her heart was overflowing with joy!

"Impossible!" Mu Yan did not kill anyone, how could he admit his mistake! You're lying! What did you do to Mu Yan?! " Without waiting for Duan Chen to speak, Xiao Yuxuan abruptly rushed towards Duan Zitong. Both of his hands fiercely gripped her shoulders as he viciously spoke!

"Yu Xuan, not me … I also want to help the third imperial sister, but iron evidence is as powerful as a mountain. Even royal father … " Seeing the murderous intent in Xiao Yuxuan's eyes, Duan Zitong's heart couldn't help but tremble. The usually gentle Xiao Yuxuan and the usually calm and elegant Xiao Yuxuan were actually questioning him like a mad beast! Her heart felt as if it had been cut by a knife! No matter how excessive her actions were, it was all for the sake of obtaining the man's heart! She only loved Xiao Yuxuan, what was wrong with that!

"Yu Xuan!" Let go of the catalpa tree! " Off to the side, Duan Chen couldn't help but be enraged when he saw Xiao Yuxuan treating Duan Zitong in such a manner!

Xiao Yuxuan didn't say anything, and immediately left Duan Zitong and ran out of the Imperial Hall!

"Yu Xuan!" Duan Zitong wanted to give chase, but was stopped by Duan Chen!

"Putong, chasing after him now is undoubtedly bringing shame upon yourself. It seems like Jade Xuan's heart has always been with Mu Yan. royal father hopes that you can give up. If you continue on, this road will be very bitter!" Duan Chen looked at Duan Zitong, whose eyes were filled with tears, and consoled him with her worry!

"No matter how bitter, this son will continue to walk. In this life, I will marry only Xiao Yuxuan!" Duan Zitong's gaze turned cold as he watched Xiao Yuxuan's departing figure. Even if he couldn't obtain his heart, he would still obtain his person!

"You said that Mu Yan had pleaded guilty just now? Is she willing to do it? " Duan Chen turned around and asked suspiciously!

"Father, this son …" Just as Duan Zitong was about to speak, she suddenly feigned unconsciousness! She couldn't say that she was implying that Duan Mu Yan was making a comeback, but she believed that Duan Chen would immediately decree her release right now!

Seeing Duan Zitong unconscious in her arms, Duan Chen panicked and called for the imperial physician! However, the matter regarding Duan Mu Yan had been thrown to the back of her mind!

When Xiao Yuxuan arrived at the court, there was no one in the court. Instead, there was a pool of blood on the ground! Xiao Yuxuan's heart suddenly floated as he suddenly grabbed a bailiff.

"Speak!" Whose blood was this!? Where is Mu Yan? " Xiao Yuxuan viciously grabbed the collar of the bailiff's collar as he viciously said with an ice-cold voice that contained absolute anger!

"Returning King, this … This is Qi Wangfei's blood... She has been sent to prison... "Ping Wang!" Before the bailiff could finish his sentence, Xiao Yuxuan had already rushed to the Sky Prison. All the way there, Xiao Yuxuan's mind was filled with the scene of Duan Moyan being punished. Her suspended heart felt like it was about to shatter! The pain in his heart was obvious!

The Celestial Prison.

The pain from her back was like a fire that burned through her every nerve. At this moment, how she wished that he could pass out just like this and never wake up again, but that wouldn't do. Wave after wave of pain on her back had caused her to be more clear-headed than he had ever been before. Duan Mu Yan's heart was ice-cold. She hated Su Jin Xiu, hated Xiao Jin Feng, hated Duan Zitong, but in the end, she hated Duan Chen! If his own royal father hadn't pushed him to Xiao Lingfeng, all of this wouldn't have happened!

The sound of hurried footsteps came from afar, and when Xiao Yuxuan saw Duan Mu Yan leaning against the wall, she violently pounced towards the prison cell!

"Mu Yan! Mu Yan! I'm back! " Xiao Yuxuan's voice became choked with sobs, and his eyes became moist! Seeing his beloved girl being humiliated and tormented like this made his heart feel as if it had been stabbed by knives!

"Jade Xuan …" "Yuxuan!" Tears rolled down her face without any warning. She forced the pain from her back to the side of her cell and held onto Xiao Yuxuan's arm tightly!

"Mu Yan! How could this be? How dare they torture you! I want to save you! I want to complain to the Emperor! " Xiao Yuxuan choked with sobs as he opened his mouth to speak. His tears quietly rolled down his face!

"Don't... Don't go, if not for royal father's acquiescence, would they make their move? Yu Xuan, I didn't kill anyone! As long as you believe me, that's enough! " Duan Mu Yan's eyes were filled with despair as she tightly held onto Xiao Yu Xuan's life saving straw. In this world, she could only trust Xiao Yu Xuan!

"Yuxuan, how is royal brother? Does royal father believe him? " Even his Imperial Father allowed Wu Bingcheng to execute him. From this, it could be seen that he wasn't the least bit concerned about their relationship!

"Mu Yan! Don't worry, Jing Yang is fine! I will find out about the death of Innocent Tian! I definitely won't let him be framed! However … Mu Yan, how can I watch you stay in this place! I'll take you with me! " Looking at Duan Mu Yan's pale face, Xiao Yu Xuan could feel her heart bleeding!
