"What about Prince Consort? How are your preparations? " Duan Zitong looked at herself in the mirror. That seductive and charming face, that limpid eyes. That face was no worse than Duan Moyan's, but why didn't Xiao Yuxuan look straight at him? Ihee could prove that Ling Ziyan was innocent, she would return Xiao Yuxuan to her. It was just a moment of anger, but now that he thought about it, she felt a little regretful. Xiao Yuxuan was her life, so how could she be willing to dig out her heart and give it to someone else?

"Reporting to the princess, this servant …" I don't know. "Why don't I go take a look now?" The maidservant was trembling with fear. In reality, Duan Zitong hadn't instructed her to go to the Tutor Hall.

"What a useless thing, you can keep it!" I'll go myself! " Duan Zitong stood up abruptly and looked angrily at the maidservant by her side. It was probably a day of great joy today that she wouldn't be able to contain her anger. If it wasn't for this, she really would have slapped this maidservant twice.

At the Tutor Hall, Xiao Yuxuan was still clad in his snow-white dress, his eyebrows sword-like and starry eyes. His thin lips were pursed as he stared at the letter in his hands in a daze. At this moment, there was no one more nervous than him. The reason why he did not hand the letter to Duan Mu Yan that day was because he did not want his to put him out of the picture. No matter what, if he failed, he would retreat together with Duan Mu Yan.

"Yuxuan, how are your preparations?" Even though he was already a husband and wife, every time he saw Xiao Yuxuan, the love in her heart would grow even more intense. That handsome face without a cast, those bright eyes that could shine like the stars, all made her crazy. It was as if they had met each other for the first time, and Xiao Yuxuan would always be radiant in her heart.

"It's about time. Let's go." Even though there was no love, they shared a common responsibility. Now that he had chosen to stand by Duan Mu Yan's side, regardless of life and death, it was impossible for him to be any more a tutor or a prince consort. The only thing he could do was to stay with Duan Mu Yan. Speechless, Xiao Yuxuan silently stepped forward and supported Duan Zitong's arm.

"Your body is heavy, let me support you …" These few simple words struck like a thunderbolt in Duan Zitong's ears. Her beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Yuxuan in disbelief, and the excitement in his heart was indescribable.

"What's wrong? "Uncomfortable?" Seeing Duan Zitong's unusual expression, Xiao Yuxuan's brows furrowed slightly as she spoke worriedly. In the next second, Duan Zitong fiercely threw herself into Xiao Yuxuan's embrace. Her blurry vision and her heart, however, were filled with the incomparable warmth of a warm sun.

"Yu Xuan, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. You're finally willing to concern yourself with me!" Are you dreaming! " His choked voice revealed too much emotion. Duan Zitong cried tears of joy. However, to Xiao Yuxuan, each word made him feel even more guilty. After comforting Duan Zitong, the two left the Tutor Hall hand in hand.

In the Crown Prince's Palace, the various court officials had surrounded Duan Xingyi for almost two hours, until every detail was flawless. Only then did they withdraw in satisfaction.

"Your Highness, do you still feel unsatisfied? We should change it now …" The various division heads, Li mama, respectfully said.

"Very good … You can leave now! " The Nine Dragons' Pearl Bestowal Bracelet on his head pushed his domineering aura to the extreme. Looking at himself in the mirror, Duan Xingyi's thin lips curved up as a sharp glint flashed across his eyes like an eagle's. He was destined to be the emperor, but unfortunately, his dragon robe didn't suit him.

Right at this moment, a light sound came from the bed in the inner room. Duan Xingyi's eyes slightly darkened before he walked into the inner room and turned on the switch.

"Master, you can't take this risk. You should leave now!" Nightfall was worried and said worriedly.

"You shouldn't be here right now. Hurry back to the Spring Festival and transport the silver taels out of the Imperial City!" His ice-cold voice was as cold as ice. According to his estimation, Ye Li should have already left the Imperial City.

"But …" For some reason, he always felt uneasy, as if something big was about to happen. However, when his gaze met Duan Xingyi's, he finally swallowed his words back. After Ye Li left, Duan Xingyi's thin lips pursed slightly. It was true that leaving now would not be a mistake, but like this, he would miss out on a good show.

Within the inner chamber of the Xiao manor.

"Esteemed wangfei, Eunuch Li's intention is for you to attend the inauguration ceremony as a princess. Will your actions arouse their suspicion?" Yao'er took out her snow-white robe. She seemed to be in a dilemma.

Don't worry, they won't hold up their enthronement for such a small matter. Besides, no one will pay any attention to me. Duan Mu Yan quietly stood in front of the copper mirror, allowing Yao'er to wear her clothes. Her heart, however, seemed to be wrapped by thousands of threads, and every time a thread was pulled, it would cause her to feel pain and helplessness.

Mufei, royal brother! Today, Mu Yan will seek justice for all of you in the throne room. Success or failure, will be decided today! By the time Duan Muyan had finished dressing herself, the sedan at the entrance had already been prepared. Judging by the time, it was about time to set off.

"Princess, Old Prime Minister Zhu should be entering the imperial city by now. Yao`er will be heading to the east gate to meet up with General Dou Jing Jing." Rest assured, Yao'er will definitely bring King Wei and Old General Dou to the palace! " Yao'er vowed solemnly, her voice sonorous and forceful.

"No, Yao`er, your task is to hand over King Wei to Dou Jing. After that, you will meet with Wu Hen and Zi Min. You must not enter the palace!" Even if she was completely prepared, she still did not dare to imagine what would happen to her. If the situation did not change, entering the palace would be a dead end, and she could disregard life and death. However, Yao'er had no reason to accompany her to death.

With Yao'er's intelligence, how could she not know what Duan Mu Yan was thinking? Although she nodded, Yao'er also had her own ideas.

Time passed second by second, and everyone was looking forward to the beginning of the inauguration ceremony. When Duan Mu Yan entered the hall, she had already counted all of the officials and all of the concubines with a bit of weight in the harem had a seat, but they could not hide the worry on their faces, which was no wonder. After today, they had gone from being imperial concubines to being imperial concubines, becoming seniors, but their statuses had dropped to the extreme. Below the several imperial concubines were the few princesses who had yet to leave the pavilion.

The last person to enter the throne room was the Emperor's most beloved Seventh Princess and her consort, Xiao Yuxuan. Duan Zitong's clothes, which were as red as fire, made people dazzle, but it was also within reason that when her younger brother, her father and mother, ascended the throne and became emperor, her older sister would naturally be pleased. No matter how extravagant her attire was, it was understandable that she would wear it.

From the start to the end, he didn't do anything for Duan Mu Yan, but now that the Vow Mountain Alliance seemed to be out of his reach, Xiao Yuxuan instinctively wanted to withdraw his hand when he passed by Duan Mu Yan. However, Duan Zitong was already prepared for this, so she grabbed onto Xiao Yu Xuan's arm with both of his hands. Since there was hope, she couldn't easily give up.

Looking at the entire throne room, the three foot wide smooth mirror-like stone was seamlessly pasted together. In the middle, the enormous flying dragon was vivid and lifelike, its surroundings were adorned with the pattern of the Eight Joy cloud pattern, and the flying dragon was even more so as if it was swimming in the sky. Its aura was grand and majestic, causing people to feel heartfelt reverence for it. The walls of the hall were all decorated with cloud patterns. They were colorful and beautiful, as though they were illusory. At this moment, the nine golden dragon chairs were sitting on top of the hall, waiting for something to happen. Red palace, red silk, red curtains, all of it was a scene of celebration. However, in the eyes of Duan Mu Yan, all of these things were extremely dazzling. At this moment, the main hall was in an uproar. Everyone was wearing a smile that was either sincere or fake.

Everyone's gaze fell on the entrance of the hall. Following the host's loud shout, Duan Chen slowly walked into the main hall, dressed in a resplendent dragon robe, his aged face and eyes brimming with vigor. Every movement of his was sonorous and powerful, as if he was showing off to the crowd his grand spirit all those years ago. However, no one noticed that when Duan Chen sat on the Dragon Throne that had accompanied him for the past thirty years, his entire body trembled. It was only a few steps, but his body could no longer withstand it.

It was unknown how many people were looking forward to this moment. Following the voice of the host, Duan Xingyi entered the palace in his imperial robe, different from Duan Chen. Every step Duan Xingyi took, it was as if his entire body was filled with energy, and his king's aura was thoroughly displayed by Duan Xingyi.

Sighs could be heard from time to time throughout the hall. Everyone was subdued by Duan Xingyi's aura. When Duan Xingyi walked to the center of the main hall, Eunuch Li respectfully handed over the abdication decree he had prepared long ago to Duan Chen.

"In the spring of the thirty-six years of peace, I decreed that the throne should be given to the second son, Duan Xingyi. In the beginning of the peace, I led my army into the war and expanded the borders. Although my efforts were in the community, due to the war of the year, the people were also implicated, displaced, and the country was peaceful, I grew old, and my heart was weak. Fortunately, the second son, Duan Xingyi, took over my wishes. After a long speech, Duan Chen raised his gaze to look at Duan Xingyi, who was on the main hall. His eyes were filled with hope and hope.
