"My biological son? Then why didn't the Emperor make the First Prince his Crown Prince? If I had to say, the Emperor doesn't treat the First Prince as his own son, nor the Third Princess. I heard from the outside that the Third Princess has been imprisoned for so long that the Emperor doesn't even care! There might be something behind this! " The palace maid retorted.

"Forget it, forget it. If others were to hear about it later, we wouldn't even know how we would die!" A shudder ran through Gong Chuan's body as she pulled on her armor and left.

Behind the pavilion, Duan Moyan's eyes were cold and her eyes were bloodshot. Tears dripped from her eyes as they grew more and more numerous. Her jade-like hands were tightly clenched into fists, her joints were white, and her teeth were fiercely clenched. Royal Father! My dear royal father! Are you really so heartless? Why? Why don't you even let a dead person go! Mufei … Mu Yan, I'm sorry … Rest assured, Mu Yan will definitely seek justice for you! Mu Yan wants to let everyone in the world know that you are innocent!

Forcing down all her grief, Duan Muyan took small steps towards Ting Ting Ting Pavilion. There was no one guarding the door, causing her heart to tremble even more. She stared at the door but didn't dare to take a step forward. She really hoped that at this moment, the door would open from the inside and her royal brother would be standing in front of her with a smile.

Speechless, Duan Mu Yan held her breath and slowly pushed open the door. At this moment, white curtains and silk fluttered in the wind. There was no one inside the huge Ting Lei Pavilion, and only a red coffin was placed in the middle of the hall!

"Royal brother …" Royal brother … Mu Yan is back. Mu Yan is back to see you. She walked towards the coffin step by step, her hands trembling nonstop.

When she saw Duan Jingyang quietly lying in the coffin, Duan Mu Yan felt his entire body tighten. She gritted his teeth and endured the pain as his expression became distorted.

She could not stop her tears. This kind of heart-wrenching pain was as though someone had used a knife to cut her heart. She rubbed it back and forth in such a way that she wished she were dead.

"Royal brother …" Why did you abandon Mu Yan? How do you want Mu Yan to face all of this? Why … Why did you leave me... "Imperial brother …" Tears streaming down her face, Duan Mu Yan held the coffin tightly as her hoarse voice trembled.

At this moment, a young eunuch suddenly came in from outside the door.

"You … "Who are you?" The eunuch couldn't help but take a few steps back the moment he saw Duan Mu Yan, and he spoke in astonishment.

"Let me ask you, why is there no one guarding the First Prince's mourning hall? What have you all done?! " Duan Mu Yan slowly turned around, her eyes glimmering with killing intent.

"Three... Third Princess? " Upon seeing Duan Mu Yan, the young eunuch immediately knelt to the ground.

"I'm asking you!" At this moment, she finally understood that tears had always been a lowly and inferior product of the weak. It could only drown itself, the heavens would not pity her tears, fate would not sympathize with her tears, no one believed her tears. From this moment on, she swore that she would not easily shed tears, that she would fight for her life, fight for her life! She wanted to live up to the brilliance that mufei did not live up to. She wanted to possess the domineering aura that her royal brother did not display! She wanted to live for mufei, live for her royal brother!

"Reporting to the Third Princess … Because... Since today was the day of the title of crown prince, the emperor's intention was to wait for three days before the First Prince's grand burial … "This servant will only obey orders …" The eunuch spoke in fear, not daring to raise his head.

"Titled Crown Prince? "Who?" At this moment, Duan Moyan's heart was as cold as ice, and his clear eyes were filled with a bone-piercing coldness. She didn't expect that his father would be so impatient to become the crown prince. His royal brother was already dead. Can't you wait until after my brother's funeral? How can you be a father! A husband! Duan Chen … I hate you! So hateful.

"Reporting to the princess, it's the second prince, Duan Xingyi …" "Everyone is busy with the conferred ceremony, so …" The eunuch raised his eyes and prostrated himself on the ground. He had never seen the Third Princess with such an ice-cold expression before, and his heart was in a state of panic.

"Good …" You go down first! "I want to talk to Imperial Brother for a while …" Duan Moyan withdrew from the eunuch. When the door was tightly shut, she staggered back towards the coffin, tears still flowing uncontrollably down her face.

"Royal brother …" Did you see that? This is our royal father? We respect the royal father who we have respected all our lives! What was he supposed to do?! Throw the mufei into the unmarked grave, the moment you leave, he will impatiently make that woman's child the crown prince! Royal brother … Mu Yan was unwilling! "I can't accept this!" More and more tears flowed down her cheeks. Duan Mu Yan's heart felt as though it had been sliced into a bloody pulp. She could no longer withstand such repeated blows. At this moment, her heart had turned into ice.

Royal Hospital.

"Doctor Zheng, is Mu Yan with you?" After changing into his court uniform, Xiao Lingfeng headed straight for the Imperial Palace. Only when he arrived at the east gate did he find out that Duan Moyan had been brought here by the Imperial Physician Zheng.

"Reporting to Prince Qi, this humble subject did indeed bring along the consort just now. However, just as soon as Qi Wangfei applied the medicine, she was so anxious that he opened it. This humble subject couldn't even stop his …" Perhaps it was because of Duan Mu Yan, but when it came to Xiao Jin Feng, Zheng Yu did not have a good impression of him.

"Do you know where she went?" Xiao Jin Feng's brows were tightly knitted. Listening to the description of the city guards, Duan Mu Yan was fixed at the city gates for more than half the night.

"This humble official doesn't know, but today is the Second Prince's crowning ceremony. The time for the imperial court to enter is almost up, so it's better for Prince Qi to head to the imperial court first. Perhaps even the presence of the imperial concubine may not be certain …" Doctor Zheng replied indifferently.

"Alright! "Farewell!" Xiao Jin Feng was about to turn around, but was stopped by Imperial Physician Zheng.

"My prince, the wound on Princess Qi's back is very severe. Whenever it's snowing or raining, she'll be in great pain. I hope you can take good care of her." Duan Moyan's waist was not as serious as Physician Zheng had said. Physician Zheng only wanted to remind Xiao Lingfeng to treat the Third Princess well.

"Back wound …" This King will remember it... " Xiao Jingfeng was stunned at first, but then he recalled the time when Duan Ling Tian, Mu Yan, wanted to do something bad to Su Jinxiu, so he had pushed her away, knocking her against the corner of the table.

Watching Xiao Jin Feng's figure gradually leave, Doctor Zheng couldn't help but sigh. If the heavens had eyes, they would protect the Third Princess from any harm.

In the main hall, when Duan Chen conferred the title of Crown Prince to Duan Xingyi, no one objected, because other than Duan Xingyi, there was no one else in the Great Mo Empire who was willing to follow suit. Although Zhu Xu and Dou Jing were unwilling, this was the truth.

"Qi King, Zhen will send guards to escort Mu Yan back. It is time for her to find out about Jing Yang's death." Although Duan Xingyi being conferred the title of Crown Prince was something that made him feel gratified, Duan Jingyang had become the eternal pain in his heart.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Mu Yan, she …" She is already in the palace and this humble subject has been careless. Last night, Mu Yan snuck out of Duke Xiao Palace and entered the palace this morning … Xi Feng looked for Mu Yan, but was unable to find her. " Xiao Jingfeng said with a worried expression.

"Last night? Hadn't Third Sister been out in the cold all night? Xiao Jingfeng! I handed the third sister to you yesterday, and that's how you treat her! How dare you! " Duan Xingyi rose as he heard this and glared angrily at Xiao Jingfeng. His resplendent dragon robe flickered dazzlingly as he finally took the first step towards the Badlands Court. However, this joy was completely wiped away by Xiao Jingfeng's earlier words.

"Xingyi, since Mu Yan has entered the palace, she should be fine. According to the rules, you should stay in the crown prince's mansion, but royal father is old and doesn't want you to leave the palace, so he asked for people to change the Sage Storage Pavilion into the crown prince's hall. royal father will send you back first to complete the ceremony, then we will look for Mu Yan! Prince Qi, come with me as well! " Duan Chen knew where Duan Mu Yan was. Other than the Tantai Aristocrat Clan, where else could she go? Mu Yan, it is a pity that royal father was unable to compensate Jing Yang, royal father will compensate you! Definitely!

"Yes …" Moreover, after the three of them had left, they had gone straight to the Sage Storage Pavilion. At this moment, the Sage Storage Pavilion had already become the crown prince's hall, and Duan Zitong and Qing Lan were busy decorating the crown prince's hall. To the side, Xiao Yuxuan had thought of relying on the pavilion to keep Duan Jingyang's spirit watch, but due to Duan Zitong's order, he had no other choice.

"Yu Xuan, what are you thinking about?" Where do you think this pure gold chair should be placed? " Duan Zitong walked over to Xiao Yuxuan's side with a sway as she subconsciously put her arm around her shoulders.

"Princess, you can just say whatever's good. Yuxuan doesn't understand these things …" As Xiao Yuxuan spoke, he slowly took a step back and deliberately avoided Duan Zitong's lily-white hands.

"Heh, that's right. Your Tutor Hall was originally managed by this princess herself. Just leave it there and don't move too much. Knock on His Highness' things and be careful of your heads!" Duan Zitong's cherry lips parted slightly. As the Crown Prince, Duan Xingyi would be the emperor in the future. He was the emperor's blood sister, so his glory was unrivaled.

"Princess, the emperor and the crown prince are coming …" Qing Lan walked in and said respectfully.

"Is that so? So fast! Put down what you are doing and welcome the crown prince! " At the side, Qing Lan subconsciously looked at Xiao Yuxuan. With her jade-like face and bright eyes, each time she looked him in the eye, her heart would throb even more. She knew that she wasn't Su Jin Xiu and didn't have such high expectations.

"Your son greets you, Imperial Father. Your Highness the crown prince …" Duan Zitong walked in front of Duan Chen in two steps and bowed gracefully.

"What need is there to be so courteous, royal sister? Whether Xing Yi is the second prince or the crown prince, you are Xing Yi's royal sister. In the future, this sort of courtesy will be forgiven …" Duan Xingyi pursed his lips and helped Duan Zitong up.

"Yi'er is right. There's no need for you two siblings to perform such a great ceremony in the future …" Duan Chen looked at Duan Zitong with a benevolent gaze as a trace of guilt flashed across her heart. She originally wanted to give the marriage between Duan Zitong and Xiao Yuxuan, but now it seemed that she couldn't.

"This humble subject kowtows to the emperor and to the crown prince …" Xiao Yuxuan walked out of the Crown Prince Palace and spoke respectfully.

"Save it …" royal father, please! " Duan Xingyi cast a sidelong glance at Xiao Yuxuan before walking into the Crown Prince's Palace with Duan Chen. When Xiao Yuxuan stood up and saw Xiao Lingfeng, he couldn't help but take two steps to his side.

"Is Mu Yan doing well?" Xiao Yuxuan spoke indifferently.

"She's already in the palace …" Xiao Jingfeng felt depressed at Xiao Yuxuan's concern. Even though he knew that his little brother was childhood friends with Duan Moyan, he couldn't tolerate Xiao Yuxuan's concern at the moment.
