"Embroidery!" Duan Muyan! "You did a good deed!"

Xiao Jinfeng immediately pulled Su Jinxiu up by her waist and rushed out of the main hall!

Looking at Xiao Jinfeng's back leave, Duan Muyan couldn't help but purse her lips. Originally, she thought that only the Emperor's Palace would cheat others, and in order to survive, they would go all out to be pampered, but who would have thought that it would be the same here!

Returning to her original position, Duan Muyan knelt on the ground with great effort. She was powerless to think about Su Jinxiu's motives, powerless to care about Xiao Jinfeng's framing.

Until the evening, when Duan Muyan was still kneeling in the main hall!

With another set of hurried footsteps, Xiao Yuxuan suddenly appeared in front of Duan Muyan!

"Mu Yan... I'm sorry I'm late! Get up! "I'll take you back to the palace …" In the morning, Xiao Yin called Xiao Yuxuan into the study room. Without waiting for Xiao Yuxuan to speak, he pressed on his acupoints and then locked them. Until now, Xiao Yuxuan had already broken through his acupoints and ran over!

"No …" I can't go back to the palace... Yuxuan, don't worry about me. If anyone in the house sees this, they will gossip a bit, so go back and rest … " Right now, she was Xiao Jinfeng's concubine, Xiao Yuxuan's eldest sister-in-law. Even if she didn't care about her reputation, she would still have to care about the prestige of the imperial family, the Xiao Palace's reputation, and Yuxuan's reputation!

"Mu Yan! Don't you want to go to the palace to send off Concubine Li on her final journey?! You'll regret it... Mu Yan! Let's go to the palace first! Lets leave the capital! You have no happiness here at all, they are all unreasonable! " Xiao Yuxuan said angrily!

Seeing Duan Muyan being bullied, he could not bear it any longer.

"Yuxuan... I won't leave with you! Not now, not in the future! You can go back now! " Duan Muyan resisted the urge to cry. She did not want Xiao Yuxuan to see the pain in her heart!

"Mu Yan …"

"Call me sister-in-law Wang …" Duan Muyan knew that if he continued fighting with her, it would only cause Xiao Yuxuan to sink even deeper into the abyss! She had already chosen this path, there was no way she could turn back!

Her eyebrows that were as light as mist tightly knitted together. Looking at the resolution in Duan Muyan's eyes, Xiao Yuxuan's heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife!

"Sister Wang …" Even if you don't go back to the palace, you should go back to your room to rest... I asked the Housekeeper Zhou … She says you haven't eaten all day... "

No need to trouble Ping Wang. As the secondary wife, guarding the spirit of the main wife is a form of etiquette and also respect! If the Ping Wang is fine, please go back! " "Duan Moyan lowered her head and forced herself not to raise her eyes and not look at Xiao Yuxuan. If she broke, then so be it. She was already a person without a future!

But Xiao Yuxuan was different, he was young and capable, and had managed to become a prince! He was worthy of being loved by a better woman. His future was bright! If royal father looked at him differently because of her, how would she feel right now!

Xiao Yuxuan wanted to say something, but when he saw the indifference on Duan Muyan's face, he decided against it.

"If you are tired, return to your room …"

After saying that, Xiao Yuxuan turned and left.

When the cold wind blew, it made a whistling sound. The faint white silk fluttered in the air, making one's heart flutter like a ghost.

Because of the cold, Duan Muyan's body trembled from time to time. Her ice-like jade hands were pressed tightly against her numb legs.

At this moment, steaming hot dishes suddenly appeared in front of her!

"I told you! Don't you worry about me! "This will ruin …" When she raised his eyes, Duan Muyan was startled. Under his white brows, he saw a pair of benevolent eyes looking at her!

"Father King …" Duan Muyan didn't expect it to be Xiao Yin, and couldn't help but lower her eyes in apology!

"Mu Yan …" Father King knows it's making things difficult for you! Shi Rou is a good wife, but what a pity, she was unable to grow old with Zhi Feng, her death was a huge blow to him, and yet you married at this time, he would more or less resist! For the sake of an old man like me, forgive him, but don't put it in your heart! After a while, when his mood calmed down, he would naturally be able to accommodate you! Father King knows that this is unfair to you! "Please forgive me …"

Xiao Yin pursed his lips, a look of guilt flashed past his eyes. How could he not know that Duan Muyan had suffered so much in her heart, the pain of losing her mother was etching right into her heart. If it was the Grand Princess or the Second Princess, with such a huge matter, even if he did not say it, the Emperor would definitely order for her to be brought back to the Imperial Palace!

However, she was the Third Princess, the daughter of the Concubine Li. He knew a little about the Concubine Li, and the empress dowager had told him that the person who secretly interrogated Qin Yudie was his subordinate, Wei Liang. Back then, Wei Liang had coincidentally been on patrol outside, passing through Jiangnan, which was also Qin Yudie's hometown. Thus, the empress dowager had sent him a secret letter, asking him to arrange for Wei Liang to secretly investigate that woman's background.

When they returned to the palace, Wei Liang was summoned by the empress dowager. When he returned, he was disarmed and returned to the palace, never to be seen again. Xiao Yin knew that the empress dowager was thinking for Wei Liang. With the emperor's infatuation for Qin Yudie, there was a high chance that he would do something irrational!

If this was really the case, the Emperor thought that the Concubine Li had snitched on her, and so he neglected her for twenty years.

Xiao Yin wanted to report the truth of the Emperor several times! However, the empress dowager had already passed away, and Wei Liang was nowhere to be found. Even if he was willing to say it, the emperor might not believe it! Furthermore, it was forbidden for foreign officials to interact with imperial concubines in the palace. If he were to speak up for the Concubine Li, the consequences would be dire.

"Father King is being too serious … Mu Yan understood the feelings of the Prince Qi … No matter what he said or did, Mu Yan would not take it to heart … Please rest assured Father King … " Duan Muyan never thought that Xiao Yin would be so considerate as to say these words to her.

Xiao Yin nodded slightly, a look of gratification flashed past his eyes!

"Just now … I heard your conversation with Yuxuan! Father King thanks you for your understanding! Yuxuan that kid doesn't understand anything, luckily you are different from him, otherwise … The entire Xiao Residence would be unable to escape this calamity … Sigh … You're a good girl! Father King also believes that you will definitely be a good wife to our Xiao family! I just made you suffer so much, this Father King apologizes … "

Xiao Yin said from the bottom of his heart. Seeing Duan Muyan's frozen body, he could not help but push the food to Duan Muyan's side!

"You haven't eaten for a whole day! Eat first, don't kneel anymore. Be careful of the cold! "

"Thank you, Father King …" Duan Muyan stretched out her jade hand and trembled as she held up the bowl of rice in front of her. This was Xiao Yin's heart, and Duan Muyan could feel Xiao Yin's care and concern for her, as though he was her father.

"The deeper the better, Father King should go back to your room to rest … It's enough as long as Mu Yan is here … " Duan Muyan slightly raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Yin!

"Un, I believe Xin Feng will be here soon as well!" Don't hold on, remember to go back and rest! "

Xiao Yin's footsteps grew distant as she looked at the food in her hands, and her tears fell. The concubine mother left, and the royal father ignored her existence.

This night was destined to not be spent peacefully.

Just as Duan Muyan was about to eat, Xiao Yuxuan walked into the main hall, holding onto a blanket for heating!

"I knew you wouldn't leave! Since you are not willing to listen to me, then put it on. If you get cold, the spirit of Concubine Li in heaven will not be at ease! " Xiao Yuxuan approached Duan Muyan, and just as he was about to speak after seeing the food in her hands, an ice-cold voice came from outside the door!

"You guys are too presumptuous! This was Shi Rou's mourning hall! This is not a place for you to put up with! " Xiao Jinfeng's cold eyes cracked, and stared angrily at the two people in the spirit hall!

"Big brother! What did you say?! Mu Yan had knelt here for an entire day and night! It's fine if you don't care about it, that's fine! He actually insulted her like this! I just sent her a blanket! " Xiao Yuxuan stood in front of Duan Muyan, frowning!

"Stop arguing! This is the mourning hall, Prince Qi. Jade... Prince Ping only wants to give me a blanket, I don't have any other intentions … " Seeing that, Duan Muyan was afraid that they would fight, so she quickly put down his bowl and got up to explain!

Afraid that Xiao Yuxuan and Xiao Jinfeng would argue again, Duan Muyan leaned on the ground fiercely, wanting to get up and stop them, but her legs were numb and she almost fell to the ground! Fortunately, Xiao Yuxuan's eyes were sharp, and he helped her!

"Are you alright?!"

Duan Muyan shook her head and her jade arm subconsciously pulled away from Xiao Yuxuan.

"No wonder you haven't eaten all day!" So it was acting pitiful and sympathetic! If you want to seduce a man, I'll have to trouble you to find another place, this is Shi Rou's Spirit Shrine! We can't allow you to taint it! "

Xiao Jinfeng's words were like sharp blades that pierced Duan Muyan's body. The hostility of the man in front of her was much deeper than she had imagined!

"Prince Qi... This was a gift from Father King … Yuxuan and I are cautious, we don't do anything wrong! Now that you're here... "I'll head back to my room first …" If not for the fact that Xiao Yuxuan was involved, Duan Muyan would not have wanted to explain any further!

Seeing that Duan Muyan wanted to leave, Xiao Jinfeng snorted.

"Who are you!?" Father King will send you food?! "Hmph …" Since you didn't have any sincerity, then why bother pretending to be good? Don't come out for Shi Rou's funeral tomorrow! I believe she hates to see you too! " Xiao Jinfeng shouted coldly!

"Xiao Jinfeng!... Don't go too far! You should be clear about Duan Muyan's identity! She was a Third Princess of the Mo Dynasty! How can you be so insulting! " The normally gentle Xiao Yuxuan's sword-like eyebrows slanted inwards as he clenched his fists tightly and prepared to smash them towards Xiao Jinfeng!

"Ha!" Princess?! In the entire capital, who didn't know that she, Duan Muyan, was a princess in name? She couldn't even be compared to a maid! It's none of my business! But I hate it! Why did the Emperor want to marry her to me?! I don't care! Shi Rou would be alright! It was because of her! Shi Rou could not stand the excitement! That's why she left me! Duan Muyan! "Scram!"

Xiao Jinfeng suddenly cursed at Duan Muyan as if he had gone mad. His red eyes looked terrifying and sinister, as though he was about to spurt blood!

"This is too much!" Xiao Yuxuan could no longer tolerate Xiao Jinfeng's insults and curses. He rushed forward and raised his hand to attack Xiao Jinfeng!

Duan Muyan bit her cherry lips tightly, and her dense eyes raised just in time to see Xiao Yuxuan's fist. Without any hesitation, Duan Muyan rushed in front of Xiao Jinfeng to block his path, and forcibly received that violent palm strike …

Duan Muyan suddenly felt her body churning and a mouthful of salty blood sprayed out! Dark red blood fell onto the azure marble floor, like a bunch of manna pearls in full bloom!

"Mu Yan …" Xiao Yuxuan regained his senses and quickly hugged Duan Muyan in his arms!

"I... I'm fine... Please... Stop arguing... I'll go back... Dont come out... "Don't worry …" Duan Muyan struggled free from Xiao Yuxuan's embrace with all her might, and when her gaze fell on Xiao Jinfeng's ruthless handsome face, she nodded slightly and staggered out of the main hall!
