"Mu Yan... "I understand. Perhaps it really is time for me to reflect …" Xiao Jin Feng held Duan Mu Yan and walked step by step towards the Xiao manor. Just as they were about to arrive at the manor, Su Jin Xiu, who had already been waiting for them for some time, hastily ran over.

"Your Highness, the wangfei, she …" 'Is she feeling unwell? Then let this servant help her back to her room … ' Looking at Su Jin Xiu's seemingly harmless appearance, a trace of ruthlessness flashed past Duan Mu Yan's heart. Qiu Yue, you will not die in vain!

Just as Su Jin Xiu took a step forward, Duan Mu Yan's legs suddenly went soft and she fainted in Xiao Jin Feng's embrace!

"Mu Yan! How are you, Mu Yan? Embroidery! Quick, invite the doctor! " Xiao Jin Feng immediately carried Duan Mu Yan in his arms and stepped into the residence. Seeing the anxiety and unease on Xiao Jin Feng's face, Su Jin Xiu could not help but tremble. In just a single day, the Prince seemed to have changed! Duan Mu Yan, your methods are really brilliant. However, the road ahead is still long; I, Su Jin Xiu, will definitely accompany you to the end!

In the room, Xiao Lingfeng gently placed Duan Mu Yan on the bed and tucked her in.

"Senior Feng …" "I'm so cold …" Duan Muyan narrowed her phoenix eyes as she spoke weakly.

"Cold..." Someone! Bring the stove! " Looking at Duan Mu Yan's pale face, Xiao Jin Feng's heart burned with anxiety. Seeing that no one replied, Xiao Lingfeng looked towards Duan Mu Yan.

"Wait a moment, I'll get it for you!" Seeing Xiao Jin Feng leaving with an anxious expression, Duan Mu Yan couldn't help but smile strangely. At this moment, the window opened with a creak. Before Duan Mu Yan could react, Xiao Yu Xuan had already appeared in front of her.

"I knew you would come, and I know what you wanted to ask. Yuxuan, let me tell you, from the moment I saw my brother's corpse, I swore to myself that I would never accept even the slightest bit of kindness from Duan Chen. Even if I looked at him once more, I would be angered to the point of wanting to kill him!" You know what? That man threw my mufei's corpse into the unmarked grave. That man impatiently made a Crown Prince two days after his royal brother died! He trampled me down a long time ago, and now he's going to give me the humblest alms. Do you think I'll take it? " Tears uncontrollably welled out of her eyes. She could be strong in front of everyone, but when she saw Xiao Yuxuan, her tears uncontrollably flowed out.

"Mu Yan, I am not here to blame you. I know that you have endured too much pressure and I know the reason behind your rejection of the Emperor. I just can't help but want to see you. I want to tell you, no matter what choice you have, I will always be by your side, always supporting you! Mu Yan … You are the only woman I, Xiao Yuxuan, have ever loved in my entire life … "I love you …" That man in white clothes was standing beside Duan Mu Yan's bed, every word engraved in her heart. Jade Xuan, wasn't I the same as well?!

Sensing the commotion outside, Duan Mu Yan promptly wiped her tears away. When she raised her gaze, Xiao Yu Xuan had already left. At almost the same time, Su Jinxiu walked into the room with Zhao Yuxu.

"Why did the secondary wife wake up so quickly? "Your servant thought that the secondary concubine would faint for half a day …" At this moment, Zhao Yuxu had already walked to the side of the bed.

"How could that be? it's not like I was infected by the bewitching incense … " Duan Moyan parted her lips slightly and exposed her jade-like wrist, allowing Zhao Yu's pulse to flow freely.

"The side concubine is too serious. If there's a sleeping incense in this room, it must be you, side concubine. This servant hasn't forgotten how you fainted that day …" Su Jin Xiu said resentfully.

I don't want to talk about what happened in the past, but now being able to live peacefully in the Prince Xiao's mansion is the only wish I have for the rest of my life. Embroidery, I don't have any ill intentions towards the prince, and I am only a secondary concubine, the title of main wife waiting to be conferred, as long as you don't give up, the prince will see your good fortune one day … " Duan Mu Yan leisurely spoke, her gaze sweeping past Zhao Yu Xun as she asked, "How is my body?"

"It's just that I'm a little cold, and I'm overly depressed. As long as I drink a few servings of medicine, I'll be fine …" He didn't dare look at Duan Mu Yan because he knew that his own faction already had no way out after taking in Su Jin Xiu's silver taels. Moreover, he never knew Su Jin Xiu's goal was to become an imperial concubine! It seemed like he was wrong.

"That's good …" If there is nothing else, you all can leave. Hearing the sound of footsteps not far away, Duan Mu Yan softly asked. At the side, Su Jin Xiu was shocked by what Duan Mu Yan had said. However, she was not a three-year-old child, so she naturally did not believe that she would let Duan Mu Yan go just like that.

Just as Su Jin Xiu was about to leave with Zhao Yu Xun, Xiao Jin Feng walked in with two furnaces in his hands.

"Your Royal Highness, you can just ask the servants to do this kind of thing. Why do you need to do it yourself?" If I burn you, what will happen? " Su Jin Xiu was surprised by Xiao Jin Feng's actions, and asked worriedly.

"I wonder where they went, it's only two stoves, it's fine!" Yu-Xun is here. Have you seen the princess' illness? " As he spoke, Xiao Lingfeng placed the furnace near the bed and walked towards Duan Moyan.

"To reply Your Highness, the wangfei is fine. It's just a chill, just take a few batches of medicine to recuperate …" Zhao Yuxu truthfully said. The moment he finished speaking, Duan Mu Yan suddenly frowned. Her expression was filled with pain as blood slowly flowed out from the corner of her lips!

"Mu Yan?! How could this be! Zhao Yu Xun, is this what you meant by there's nothing wrong?! " Seeing this scene, how could Zhao Yuxu dare to be negligent? He immediately returned to the edge of the bed to treat Duan Mu Yan.

"My prince, please don't be angry. Your concubine heard that Zhao Lang was only used by his main wife before his death, so she must have great medical skills. Your concubine believes that Zhao Lang was too hasty earlier and didn't make a proper diagnosis, right?" Her gaze swept over Zhao Yuxu.

"Ugh …" Yes Yes Yes... "In reply to your highness, the side concubine is in a rush of fire, causing me to vomit blood. This lowly one will go and prescribe some medicine to ensure that the side concubine is safe and sound." Zhao Yuzhe naturally went down the slope with such an urgent voice.

"Are you sure?" Xiao Jingfeng's sword-like eyebrows creased slightly as he questioned him coldly.

"Reporting to Your Highness, this lowly one is certain!" Zhao Yuzhe cupped his hands in response. He was secretly surprised. Since when did the Qi King care so much about this secondary wife? Just a moment ago, when he diagnosed Duan Mu Yan's condition, his pulse was still as steady as before, and there was simply no sign of burning desire assaulting his heart. Could it be that this side of the concubine was beginning to settle accounts?

"Then what are you waiting for? "Hurry up and open the recipe!" Xiao Jin Feng roared lightly. At the side, Su Jin Xiu never expected that Xiao Jin Feng would protect Duan Mu Yan in such a way. Compared to before, he was like a completely different person!

After Su Jin Xiu and Zhao Yu Xun left, Xiao Jin Feng hurriedly walked to the bed.

"Mu Yan, are you alright? Actually... "No one wants to deal with the First Prince's matter. Since it has already happened, we have to face it. Moreover, I believe that the First Prince does not wish to see you torture yourself like this." Xiao Jingfeng consoled him softly.

"Chenqie understands. I've troubled Your Highness, but chenqie is truly a little tired …" As she spoke, she slowly closed her eyes.

"Then you rest. I'll let you have dinner..." Get Housekeeper Zhou ready to deliver it … " Xiao Jin Feng originally wanted Su Jin Xiu to send it over, but felt that it was inappropriate, so he changed his words.

"Mm …" After Xiao Jin Feng left, Duan Muyan slowly opened her eyes, her ice-cold eyes glimmering with a cold light. She had never believed that her royal brother would buy violence to kill Tian Ri, much less that Duan Jingyang would commit suicide out of fear of her guilt! Duan Mu Yan quietly leaned against the sofa, she wanted to ponder over this carefully.

The cold wind blew, causing people to feel cold. Duan Zitong leaned lightly on her imperial concubine chair, frowning slightly as she thought back to what had happened in the crown prince's hall. Suddenly, she felt that Duan Mu Yan's reaction was too abnormal; even if she didn't want to remarry Xiao Yu Xuan, since Duan Jingyang had just died, it was impossible for her not to feel sad at all.

"Esteemed wangfei, Qian Ruming requests an audience!" Qing Lan replied respectfully.

"He also wants to see me? Call him in! " Duan Zitong retracted the puzzlement in her eyes and spoke coldly. Just as Qing Lan turned around, Qian Ruming walked into the Phoenix Storage Pavilion.

"This lowly one pays his respects to Seventh Princess …" When the corner of his lips curled up slightly, his eyes naturally narrowed into a slit. After getting used to the handsome man, Qian Ruming's face really couldn't enter Duan Zitong's phoenix eyes.

"Did I think you would disappear from the face of the earth? Shouldn't you give me an explanation for what happened last time? " Duan Zitong cast a sideways glance at Qian Ru Ming and said disdainfully.

"Reporting to the princess, I was indeed careless last time, so this time I came specifically to return the silver …" Although Qing Lan didn't want to do it, she had no choice but to walk towards Qian Ru Ming. When she reached out her hand, Qian Ru Ming subconsciously rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb. To him, this kind of feeling was indescribable, but this kind of action made Qing Lan extremely angry!

"How dare you!" Qing Lan let out a soft growl and drew her banknotes back to Duan Zitong's side. Seeing her act this way, the smile on Qian Ru's face deepened. She didn't care about Qing Lan's scolding at all.

"Since the princess has taken back her money, I shall take my leave now …" Qian Ru Ming said indifferently. His gaze never left Qing Lan, who was standing beside Duan Zitong.

"Wait... I know that with your ability, you killed Duan Mu Yan as easily as you can. But why did you let Duan Mu Yan go? Could it be that she has a tender affection for the fairer sex? " Duan Zitong asked suspiciously, her eyes cold.

"Wrong, wrong, wrong. Although I like women, I have never been against them. Last time was an accident. Perhaps the snake poison that could be dispelled by her body is not certain either …" Qian Ru Ming said resentfully.

"Do you think I would believe that reason? Forget it, Qinglan, send him off, don't let anyone find out! " She really couldn't take another glance at Qian Ru Ming. With such a defeated appearance, Duan Zitong suddenly felt that it would take a lot of courage for him to survive until now.

"Yes …" Qing Lan had no other choice but to wait for the order before leaving the Sage Storage Pavilion with Qian Ru Ming.

"In that case, you shall leave as you wish …" Seeing that Qing Lan had left, Qian Ru didn't want to stay any longer and left immediately after. Although the palace was tightly guarded, to Qian Ru and Qing Lan, who possessed superior martial arts, the guards were just as useless.

"Miss Qing Lan, your skin is the most delicate and smooth one that you've ever held onto as if your life depended on it …" Qian Ru Ming seemed to praise him.

"Shameless!" Qing Lan coldly replied. If it wasn't for Duan Zitong's orders, she really wouldn't want to see this man for the rest of her life.

"Is there? If I were shameless, I would drug Miss Qing Lan right now, then carry you back to my mansion, and throw you on the bed … You should have guessed what happened after that, right? "It is as I said. I haven't been infected by any meat since I left Miss Qing Lan …" Qian Ruming's words were becoming more and more unbearable to hear.
