"It's fine. Zitong just came to take a look. Take a seat ?" The more Xiao Yuxuan was respectful, the more uncomfortable Duan Zitong felt in his heart. It was unknown just how long he had to wait before Xiao Yuxuan would call him 'catalpa'.

Seeing Duan Zitong sitting on the stone platform, Xiao Yuxuan naturally did not sit with him, but only stood quietly at the side. No one knew how much Xiao Yuxuan hated the girl in front of him, and from the day Qing Lan had appeared by his side, Xiao Yuxuan knew that the person who had made him and Duan Muyan regret for the rest of his life was Duan Zitong! If not for her, he and Duan Muyan would have already wandered the world and lived the life that they had once dreamed of!

However, no matter how much he hated Duan Zitong, he would seal him in his heart. In the current situation, if he wanted to protect Duan Jingyang and Mu Yan well, he could not do anything to Duan Zitong!

"Why aren't you sitting down?" Duan Zitong looked back and saw Xiao Yuxuan lost in thought.

"Princess is too serious, how can we sit together? Yuxuan can just stand there ?" Xiao Yuxuan responded indifferently. She opened her lips slightly and her voice was calm!

"What were you thinking about just now? Is he blaming me for not being able to get royal father to allow you to leave the palace? " Seeing that Xiao Yuxuan was adamant, Duan Zitong did not force him. Regardless of whether he loved her or not, she swore to keep this man by her side! She swore.

"This humble official does not dare. I just have nothing else to do and have a breather ?" Xiao Yuxuan slightly nodded, and his gaze landed on the stone platform that Duan Zitong was sitting on!

"Yuxuan, don't worry. As long as there's a chance, I will definitely explain it to the royal father and allow you to return to the manor. It's just that now is not the right time. Duan Zitong's sincere expression, was as clear as water, but in Xiao Yuxuan's eyes, the lady in front of him was just a poisonous snake! Her schemes were obvious. Send him away! After transferring away the Father King, Mu Yan did not even have one last thing to rely on. I really don't know how she managed to get here in the past half month!

Night, more and more deep confusion, thin moonlight is like a light gauze sprinkle to the cold land.

Duan Muyan had been locked in woodshed for almost five days, and in these five days, aside from, who was supposed to send her some porridge, she didn't see anyone else! It was true that this was not necessarily a bad thing, but she was worried about Qiu Yue!

Just at this moment, there was a sudden movement at the woodshed's door. Duan Muyan looked at the door vigilantly. Who could it be? Su Jinxiu? Or Xiao Jinfeng? No matter who it was, she didn't want to see it! If she could choose, she would rather stay in the woodshed for her entire life.

With a 'bang,' the moment the chain fell, the door opened. Duan Muyan couldn't help but lean towards the corner, but upon seeing who it was, tears began to flow down his face!

"Qiu Yue?!" Duan Muyan looked at the girl who walked in in in disbelief, the wound on his forehead was still filled with blood!

"Royal Consort ? Sorry... "Sorry ?" The moment he saw Duan Muyan, Qiu Yue's tears fell like rain. Since the moment Qiu Yue woke up and knew that her master had been locked in woodshed, her heart had never been at peace!

"Don't cry! Yue Er, you didn't let me down! None... It was my fault, if not mine! You won't be implicated, and you won't be... Yue Er, has your injury recovered yet?! Why are you here?! " Duan Muyan fiercely stood up, and pulled Qiu Yue into his embrace. His heart, which had been apprehensive for a long time, finally calmed down!

"Royal Consort ? If Yue Er was not too weak, you would not have come to the kitchen to fetch the tableware yourself, and would not have taken Prince Chu's plate by mistake, much less what happened next! I've already heard about it, wangfei, don't you have a three foot long Dragon-staff? Why did he have to be so wronged!? You are holding back like this, what did you get in return?! " Qiu Yue looked at Duan Muyan in front of him. In merely five days, his master had already lost a large amount of weight, his hair was in disarray, his face was pale white, and even his clothes were stained with straw! How was this even a Third Princess of the Badlands? How was she even the Xiao Residence's mistress?! Although she was a servant, she still reported injustice to Duan Muyan!

"Forget it ?" As long as your injury isn't too serious, I don't care about anything else. In fact, there's nothing bad about staying here, at least no one will come and find fault, at least I can live in peace! Yue Er, you must have sneakily ran over here, right?! "Hurry up and go back, if others see this, it'll be bad ?" Duan Muyan realised and quickly let go of Qiu Yue's hand.

"Ugh ?" "I almost forgot ?" Qiu Yue did not reply, he only went to the door and brought in a basket!

"What is this?" Duan Muyan asked suspiciously. In the next second, Qiu Yue had already opened the basket, inside there were a few delicious dishes and rice!

"Princess, I heard everything from Feng Xue! These days, they only gave me some porridge, so when I came, I sneaked into the kitchen to get some food. It was still warm ? "Esteemed wangfei, hurry up and eat ?" Qiu Yue held back her tears and brought out the food as she sobbed.

"No ?" Yue Er, quickly take it back, if others saw it, it would be terrible! "Besides, I'm not hungry. Quickly go back ?" Duan Muyan gratefully looked at the Qiu Yue in front of him. If there were any true feelings within the Prince Xiao's Mansion, it would be Qiu Yue and his master, servant relationship!

One day, when even such feelings did not exist, Duan Muyan would leap into the sea of flames and transform into a phoenix bathing in fire.

Just as Duan Muyan and Qiu Yue was tearing apart, the room's door was suddenly kicked open. Duan Muyan heard the commotion and looked out, only to see Su Jinxiu arrogantly standing at the entrance with those two eyes, looking extremely strange!

"What a deep love between master and servant! Qiu Yue, you don't want to work in Prince Xiao's Mansion now, right?! Your sick mother is still waiting for you to take the silver home! " A cold tone came out from Su Jinxiu's mouth!

"This has nothing to do with Qiu Yue! I asked her to bring me some food! She's just following my orders! Yue Er, you go out first ? " Duan Muyan knew that it would not be easy for Su Jinxiu, so he stood up and spoke solemnly! It indicated for Qiu Yue to leave this place!

"Oh? lateral concubine, have you forgotten how the Prince spoke? "You are not allowed to eat these ?" Su Jinxiu walked to the front of the dishes in a swaying motion. Without waiting for Duan Muyan to react, he had already kicked down the dishes that were prepared with autumn water.

"Su Jinxiu! "You're going too far!" At the side, Qiu Yue suddenly stood up, and fiercely pushed Su Jinxiu away as he glared at her!

"Yue Er..." Duan Muyan was startled at first, then pulled Qiu Yue behind her. She had already experienced Su Jinxiu's tricks more than once, when she pulled Qiu Yue back, her eyes couldn't help but sweep towards the door, afraid that Xiao Jinfeng would suddenly appear, and that Qiu Yue would be harmed!

Seeing Duan Muyan's nervous expression, Su Jinxiu slightly narrowed her eyes, as her vermilion lips slowly opened!

"Oh? Master and servant are bullying a weak maid like me ?" Ah ? "Why is it bleeding ?" The moment Su Jinxiu was pushed away by him, Su Jinxiu intentionally pinched his injured left hand so hard that traces of blood flowed out of his wounds that were about to heal! She was going to strike the iron while it was hot, she was going to let the Duke thoroughly wise Duan Muyan!

"No ?" Not me?! " Qiu Yue looked at the blood on Su Jinxiu's hands, and anxiously explained.

"Yue Er, don't be afraid, it is indeed not you! "It's me ?" Duan Muyan held Qiu Yue in his arms and turned his gaze towards Su Jinxiu!

"Embroidery, regardless whether it is for Chu Shirou or not, please do not hurt Yue Er, your target is me! "Isn't it?!" A clear and cold voice mixed with a hint of warning, Duan Muyan calmly looked at Su Jinxiu with a gaze as calm as a calm lake. A determined glint flashed in her eyes, and her inherent majesty also couldn't help but shake Su Jinxiu.

"lateral concubine is being too serious ? The Embroidered Embroidery would report to the Prince about this matter. As for whose fault the Prince had decided, it was not something that the Embroidery could dictate! As a maid, the Embroidered Embroidery is only loyal to the Prince! " Su Jinxiu's hand was still bleeding, but she didn't care at all! As long as he could make Xiao Jinfeng hate Duan Muyan more, what did this little bit of blood matter!

Just as Su Jinxiu was about to walk out of the woodshed, the Housekeeper Zhou came in from the outside and closed the door casually!

"Housekeeper Zhou Zhou?!" Su Jinxiu looked at Housekeeper Zhou who suddenly appeared in shock, and couldn't help but take two steps back!

"Embroidery, are you going to complain to the Prince?! I asked Qiu Yue to bring the food here! If you were to talk about breaking the rules, this matter would have nothing to do with Qiu Yue and the wangfei! As for your hand... It's only a slight wound, so it should be fine to bandage it again! " The Housekeeper Zhou looked at Su Jinxiu solemnly, without a single emotion on his face!

Su Jinxiu was slightly startled upon hearing his words, she naturally understood the intention of the Housekeeper Zhou to shield Duan Muyan, but even so, she did not dare to offend the old man in front of her!

From the moment she entered the Prince Xiao's Mansion, this Housekeeper Zhou Zhou Lin had already been a housekeeper in the Xiao Residence for many years. He heard from some old servants that this Zhou Lin was once a vice general of Xiao Yin, and in one expedition, his martial arts skills were crippled because of protecting Xiao Yin. Xiao Yin was grateful, and thus stayed by his side the entire time!

"What are you saying, Housekeeper Zhou?!" Embroidery was naturally not the kind of person who would cause trouble for others. Originally, she had wanted to report the truth to Housekeeper Zhou, but since this was the Housekeeper Zhou's intention, then there was nothing much to say about Embroidery ? "Embroidery is final ?" Although she was unwilling, Zhou Lin was not someone she could afford to offend. At least for now, he wasn't someone she could offend.

When Su Jinxiu left, Zhou Lin could not help but sigh and walk to Duan Muyan's side respectfully.

"This old servant greets wangfei ?"

"Housekeeper Zhou, hurry and rise, it's Mu Yan's fault, we have implicated Housekeeper Zhou ?" Duan Muyan gratefully looked at the old man in front of him who was over a hundred years old. She didn't care, but Qiu Yue couldn't take it anymore!

"Esteemed wangfei, this old servant can't accept these words!" Before Old Prince left, he repeatedly urged this old servant to take good care of wangfei, but there were only a few days left ? " Housekeeper Zhou frowned, feeling guilty!

"Housekeeper Zhou, please do not be like this, I, Mu Yan, will remember your good intentions, I am fine, I am just afraid that Qiu Yue will do something impulsive, and I will have to ask Housekeeper Zhou for your help in the future!" As Duan Muyan spoke, he pushed Qiu Yue to Zhou Lin's side and pleaded!

"Esteemed wangfei, don't worry. It's getting late ?" This old servant will bring Qiu Yue away immediately, it's too many people talking, if I stay any longer, I'm afraid that the matter will spread to Prince Qi, and things will get troublesome! " The Housekeeper Zhou believed that the embroidered flowers would not risk offending him to inform the Prince Qi. It was just that if he stayed long enough, he would inevitably provoke some unnecessary gossip!

"Thank you, Housekeeper Zhou! Yue Er, take care of yourself during this period of time. "Do you know ?" Duan Muyan looked at Qiu Yue who was beside him unwillingly and spoke indifferently!
