"Reporting to the princess … This servant felt that besides the prince, Housekeeper Zhou, and Li Ping from the kitchen, there was someone else who had touched the medicine bottle … "Ugh …" "This servant naturally does not include …" Even though Su Jinxiu was a little afraid of the arrogant princess, she knew from Duan Zitong's tone that she was going to help her! Duan Mu Yan: Heh! It's fortunate that you have such a good sister. Even if I wanted to let you live a good life, there are still people who would not allow me.

"Return of Spring Hall's Doctor Xiao …" Duan Zitong casually said. Her beautiful eyes looked askance at the seemingly respectful Su Jin Xiu! This kind of person could be used, but could not be trusted. Once she was used up, this kind of person definitely could not survive! Because she knew too much! Only by going to the King of Hell could the secret be kept! Oh Su Jin Xiu, the day Duan Mu Yan's soul dies is the day your life is lost!

"Princess is truly worthy of being called the pride of the heavens. Everything is obvious in the eyes of the princess! I am truly impressed, in the future, I will definitely follow the lead of the princess! " Su Jin Xiu quickly expressed her thoughts. Her words were clear and precise!

"You want me to send someone to Ji Prefecture to deal with Doctor Xiao, then push all the crimes onto Doctor Xiao with a reasonable explanation, right?" Duan Zitong only felt that Su Jin's promise was hypocritical. However, she admitted that Su Jin's evil scheme was the best weapon for her to deal with Duan Mu Yan. With such a sharp knife killing for her, she would naturally take care of the aftermath appropriately!

"Princess is wise and wise, and I think that's the only way. Your highness won't trace this source to this servant …" Su Jinxiu bent over and answered sincerely!

"Leave this matter to me. You just have to take care of your own matters and retreat …" Duan Zitong lightly waved her jade-like hand, signaling Su Jin to step down!

"This servant thanks Princess …" "Your servant bids her farewell …" Just as Su Jin Xiu was about to turn around and leave, Duan Zitong suddenly spoke!

"Wait!" You cannot let the Second Prince know about you coming to the Phoenix Storage Pavilion! " Duan Zitong no longer believed in his own little brother. If he knew that Su Jin Xiu was her spy and helper, who knew how she would go out of bounds!

"Princess, please be at ease. I will definitely take care of this matter! "I definitely won't let anyone catch me off guard, and no one will ever know that this servant knows who the princess is …" Su Jin Xiu looked back, bowed respectfully, and spoke with determination!

"Not bad …" I was not wrong about you! "You can leave now …" Duan Zitong nodded slightly. The iciness in her eyes faded in an instant!

Looking at Su Jin's back as she left, Qing Lan's heart was always uneasy. She knew that every time Su Jin came, Seventh Princess must have suffered some sort of grievance or was about to suffer some sort of grievance! At the end of the day, if it wasn't for her pretending to be Duan Mu Yan that day, she might have become the happiest woman in the world.

"Qing Lan …" A cold voice interrupted his thoughts. Qing Lan walked into the Phoenix Storage Pavilion and closed the door behind her!

"What orders does Master have?" Qing Lan took two light steps to Duan Zitong's side and bowed respectfully.

"You are to immediately come to Jizhou and kill Doctor Xiao of the Return of Spring Hall. You are to leave a trail saying that he is a spy from the Southern Yue hiding in the Great Mo!" There was no room for negotiation in that ice-cold tone of his. Duan Zitong's gaze was cold, and his cherry lips drew a strange arc in the air!

"But …" "Doctor Xiao really is …" Qing Lan looked curiously at Duan Zitong, puzzled!

"Qing Lan, even if that Doctor Xiao wasn't, at the very least, he almost saved Duan Mu Yan. Just based on this, he should have suffered from such an outcome!" Qing Lan knew that asking any further would not save Doctor Xiao's life, and would only make her master unhappy. She had no choice but to accept Duan Zitong's kindness, and other than being loyal, she had no other choice.

"Yes …" Qing Lan accepted the order and left the Phoenix Storage Pavilion! The entire room was silent. Duan Zitong frowned, the knot in her heart still unraveling!

Knocking on the door interrupted Duan Zitong's train of thought.

"Who?" Duan Zitong raised her gaze and looked in the direction of the door!

"Xingyi …" The clear and melodious voice rang out leisurely. When Duan Zitong heard it, she could only turn her head in frustration and remain silent! The door opened as expected, and Duan Xingyi strolled into the Phoenix Storage Pavilion.

Looking at Duan Zitong's face that was covered in dark clouds, Duan Xingyi's thin lips curled up as she spoke with a smile that was not a smile.

"Xingyi already knew that my imperial sister was angry, that's why he came back from the Xiao estate to ask for punishment from my imperial sister …" Duan Xingyi walked gracefully to the emerald table, lightly lifting the teapot with his slender and beautiful fingers. He poured a cup full of tea and respectfully raised it in front of Duan Zitong.

"If elder sister is truly angry, then let her strike out a few times. Don't be so silent and hurt your body, Xing Yi will feel heartache …" Her charming eyes were filled with a rare look of piety. Seeing that Duan Zitong remained silent, Duan Xingyi lightly opened her mouth once again.

"If elder sister feels that Xing Yi's sincerity isn't enough, then Xing Yi will kneel down towards elder sister until elder sister vents out her anger!" Just as Duan Xingyi was about to kneel on the ground, he was stopped by Duan Zitong!

"Nonsense!" You are the dignified Second Prince, the future Emperor of the Badlands Court. How can you just kneel like that?! " In the end, Duan Zitong was unable to keep her composure and accepted the teacup in Duan Xingyi's hand!

In this world, you are the person closest to me. Not to mention kneeling, even if I were to die for my royal sister, Xingyi would still go through fire and water, and would not refuse! Duan Xingyi raised his good-looking eyebrows as a dazzling splendor flashed across his eyes. A faint smile appeared on his lips! A strange feeling flashed through his heart!

"Pah pah pah!" Who told you to die! Hurry up and take back what you just said! " Hearing that, Duan Zitong's expression changed slightly. No matter what, the person in front of her was her own little brother. No matter how angry Duan Zitong was, she could just ignore him! They definitely could not allow such ominous words to come out!

"Then, my royal sister is not angry at Xingyi?" Duan Xingyi slowly rose up as his charming and deep eyes shone like the stars!

"You …" My royal sister doesn't ask you to go through fire and water, she only asks you to stop worrying about that slut Duan Mu Yan in the future! She is the daughter of our enemies. Even though mufei and that Ling Ziyan died, mufei still can't take this lying down! This time, you brought Imperial Physician Zheng to save Duan Mu Yan, and even went so far as to injure Qing Lan and confront Imperial Sis! Why?! Xing Yi! "I really don't understand, you kept saying that it wasn't because you like it, then why don't you give me a reasonable explanation!" Duan Zitong spoke sincerely!

"Since royal sister said this, Xing Yi can't hide anything from you. Royal sister, didn't you already want Xing Yi to make a move on Duan Jingyang?" It wasn't that Xingyi didn't take her royal sister's words to heart; it was just that the time wasn't right! My royal sister, please think about it. If Duan Jingyang were to die in seclusion without leaving his house, do you think royal father would investigate thoroughly and the officials in the court would criticize him. Then, you and I will be the target of public criticism! " Duan Xingyi's deep peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, 'explaining' his abnormality!

"What does that have to do with Duan Mu Yan?!" Duan Zitong admitted that she had been too careless when she poisoned Duan Jingyang's medicine that day. Therefore, she had no qualms about Duan Xingyi's words!

"Of course! Right now, Duan Jingyang has already been released by Imperial Father, but as long as he is in the Imperial Palace, we cannot take action! But once he leaves the palace, it will be different! " Duan Xingyi's thin lips slightly pursed, that curve was extremely strange!

"How is this possible?! royal father's decree states that he is not allowed to take even half a step outside of the palace. Even if he wanted to, those guards would definitely not agree to it! " Duan Zitong said in disapproval!

"This is the reason why I wanted to save Duan Mu Yan!" royal sister, think about it, who is the only person in this world that can cause Duan Jingyang to go crazy?! " Duan Xingyi's words seemed to bring a sudden realization to Duan Zitong, but his eyes still looked at Duan Xingyi in confusion!

"You mean …"

"Duan Jingyang must die, but now is not the time. Xingyi's arrangements are not yet complete, and at this time, if the news of Duan Mu Yan being caned reaches Duan Jingyang's ears, if he leaves the Imperial Palace without a care for his own safety, what will the outcome be?!" Duan Xingyi's words were like pearls as his eyes were solemn!

"Perhaps royal father …"

"Not perhaps. Royal Father will definitely imprison him in the Tinker Pavilion once more. Perhaps, for a year or a half, even ten to eight years is a possibility! At that time, Xing Yi would no longer have the chance to make a move! So... Xing Yi also had no choice but to offend your royal sister! " Duan Xingyi lowered his gaze to look at Duan Zitong, who stood before him. His face was filled with guilt!

"So that's how it is … That's because Imperial Sis misunderstood you! However … You should have told my royal sister earlier … Otherwise, this morning would not have happened! " Duan Zitong seemed to grumble, but in her heart, she firmly believed Duan Xingyi's explanation!

"Naturally, the fewer people who know about this, the better. Xingyi is also thinking for the imperial sister. The more she knows, the greater the risk …" Duan Xingyi's words were firm, and the care in his words caused Duan Zitong to feel guilty. She sighed inwardly. She had never known that her younger brother had such shrewdness, but it could be considered a form of gratification.

"Forget it. Since that's the case, then big sister will agree with you!" For the time being, I will not interfere with the matters of the Xiao Palace, but that will be all! " Duan Zitong breathed out a long breath of air as she looked at her younger brother. However, she knew that even if she ignored him, Duan Mu Yan wouldn't necessarily have a good life ahead of her!

"For the sake of fulfilling the Star Escape, I've caused my royal sister to be wronged …" A light flickered in Duan Xingyi's charming eyes as she looked gratefully at the woman before him. Her charming appearance caused Duan Zitong to feel slightly ashamed.

The autumn wind blew, the fallen leaves flew in the air, the sandalwood in the room curled up, and the candles flickered! When Duan Mu Yan woke up, Qiu Yue was sleeping lightly on the edge of the bed!

His back was still aching, but it wasn't as painful as it was before. Duan Mu Yan frowned ashee tried his best to recall what happened before he fainted, but other than the heart-piercing pain, she couldn't think of anything else! Just as Duan Mu Yan was trying hard to recall, she suddenly discovered that purple robes were neatly folded beside his pillow. His heart suddenly shook. She remembered that this purple robe belonged to Duan Xingyi! The scene in her mind gradually became clearer. She clearly remembered that when he was still in a state of disarray, Duan Xingyi had suddenly barged in!

Was it a dream?! A look of disgust suddenly flashed across her clear eyes. Without any hesitation, and without even considering the wound on her back, Duan Mu Yan clutched the purple robe and violently threw it on the ground!

"Ugh …" The intense pulling caused the wound on Duan Mu Yan's back to split open once again, as a devouring pain engulfed her like a tidal wave! At the edge of the bed, Qiu Yue abruptly opened her eyes upon hearing the sound and saw the painful expression on Duan Mu Yan's face!

"Princess?!" "You're awake …" Autumn Moon hurriedly stood up, supporting Duan Mu Yan back to the bed as she lightly leaned on the bed rail!

"Yue Er, let me ask you, that purple robe …" Why was that purple robe here?! Duan Xingyi came here before?! " Duan Mu Yan looked at Qiu Yue in disbelief, completely ignoring the hidden pain that came from behind his!
