Bili palace.

In front of the bed, Ling Ziyan's face had become as white as paper, the pain in her body was far less than the pain she felt in her heart, the piercing pain caused her to curl up, only her withered hands were holding Duan Muyan and Duan Jingyang tightly!

"Mu Yan... It was concubine mother who harmed you … Otherwise... You can go now … Leave the palace! Leave this ungrateful place... "Cough, cough, cough …"

"concubine mother... Don't worry about your daughter... Marrying Xiao Jinfeng was also good … I've always heard Yuxuan talk about him … He was a brave fighter, both civil and martial … It was a blessing for your daughter to be able to marry into the Xiao family … concubine mother... Your daughter doesn't resent you … " In the blink of an eye, Duan Muyan used all of his strength to prevent the tears in her eyes from rolling down her face. The imperial physician had made it clear that concubine mother's body was like a dried up oil lamp, if not for his unfulfilled desires, she would have passed away long ago.

Duan Muyan knew that concubine mother's greatest wish was to personally see her getting married! Looking at her happiness … And big brother, watching big brother being highly regarded by the royal father and recognized by the ministers … Even though it was against her will, she still opened her cherry lips and smiled indifferently.

"Sister! I'll look for royal father to judge! He had gone too far! Even though I know that the person you like is Yuxuan, you still insisted on marrying him! Furthermore … He clearly knew that Xiao Jinfeng already had a Chief Consort! "This is obvious …"

"Brother …" Don't Go... I'm willing... I will willingly marry Xi Feng … I promised royal father … " Duan Muyan pulled Duan Jingyang, who was about to leave, away. She knew that the royal father was already very indifferent to her brother, and if she let her brother clash with him again because of her, she would really be afraid … She was afraid that the royal father would really harm her brother.

"Jing Yang …" Your royal father won't listen to you … He hates me... "But I didn't expect …" Ling Ziyan's tears flowed like the waves, her heart was filled with resentment! Why was the heavens so unfair? She had already taken the blame, and she hadn't complained for twenty years, but she never thought that this kind of injustice would continue to her own children! Unreconciled … She really didn't want to accept this.

"What exactly happened in concubine mother all those years ago?!" Duan Muyan stopped Ling Ziyan from speaking. She did not want her brother to know everything that had happened, and she was even more glad that she, and not her brother, was the one who heard all those heartbreaking words.

"In those years … Yes … It's time to tell you what happened … concubine mother vows to the heavens, that the following words will be the truth. If there is even the slightest bit of falsehood, then i will definitely not be human in my next life … " The crystal clear tears trembled on her eyelashes as Ling Ziyan's thoughts slowly drifted back to twenty years ago.

Duan Muyan and Duan Jingyang stayed by the bed as they listened carefully to the events that had happened twenty years ago.

"Twenty years ago, concubine mother was one of the most doted upon concubines in the palace by your royal father. At that time, I remember that whenever your royal father had any worries, they would always come to 'Bili palace' to taste the Pear Blossom Wine that I brewed. Afterwards, when he went out to search for her, he met a girl called Qin Yudie. After coming back, he was obsessed with her, even when he was lying on my bed, he still called out her name … In order to let Qin Yudie enter the palace, he had warned his mother multiple times … but the answer is to think about it... When I saw that he was always troubled by love, and became kind, I went to Mother's side to plead for the woman called Qin Yudie! If I'm not jealous, it's a lie! However, ever since the Ancient Emperor's family, who could monopolize a Monarch's favor … It's a pity that the Queen Mother didn't accept my suggestion. On the contrary, she found the Emperor and rejected his proposal! Later on, I found out that on the second day of my visit, the empress had sent a spy to report that the woman called Qin Yudie came from a brothel. But your royal father insisted on thinking that I was the one who was slandering the Queen, separating him from Qin Yudie, and from that moment on, your royal father … There was only hatred … I thought the hatred would fade with the passage of time... But who would have thought that he would hate me for so long … It took me so long that I even forgot the reason... Although your royal father keeps on saying that he loves Qin Yudie so much, I know it's only because he didn't get her … That's why they cherish it... If Qin Yudie really entered the palace back then … "Perhaps right now, she's just an ordinary concubine. Heh, that's the way things are. The more he can't get her, the more precious she'll be …" Her quiet voice contained a hint of weakness and sadness as tears rolled down from the corners of Ling Ziyan's eyes. So wronged, so helpless.

"concubine mother …" Duan Muyan's tears fell. It was hard for her to imagine what kind of torture the concubine mother had suffered over the past few years. In the past few years, she had truly hated him very much, hated his emotionless and cold, hated his sentimentality and ruthlessness. However, this hatred only lasted for a second before it disappeared in Duan Muyan's heart!

"Mu Yan... It's concubine mother that has implicated you … Cough cough cough … If it wasn't for your royal father being prejudiced against me, how could it have … "Cough, cough, cough …" Ling Ziyan coughed continuously, the internal organs seemed to have been burnt, the sudden pain caused Ling Ziyan's forehead to be covered in perspiration!

Duan Muyan fearfully supported the unconscious Ling Ziyan on the bed. Looking at her own concubine mother in pain, she turned and took the soup from Duan Jingyang!

"concubine mother... Mu Yan doesn't blame you … I believe that the heavens will not bully Mu Yan! No matter who she married, Mu Yan was grateful … As long as you have a kind heart... "Mu Yan will definitely obtain happiness …" Tears slowly flowed down her eyes and returned to the bottom of her heart. Duan Muyan's mind was filled with Xiao Yuxuan's figure … Happiness... How far away it was from her.

Only after Ling Ziyan fell asleep did Duan Muyan and Duan Jingyang leave the Bili palace.

The moment she stepped out of the 'Bili palace', Duan Muyan staggered and almost fell to the ground. Luckily, she had Duan Jingyang's support.

"Sister, I've thought about it …" No matter what I do, I won't let you marry Xiao Jinfeng! He has the Chief Consort, do you really want to be wronged! Furthermore … I can see... You like Yuxuan! I know that royal father doesn't like me … I also know... My character is cowardly... But this time, big brother will definitely stand up for you! " Duan Jingyang's sword-like eyebrows tightly knitted together. He could tolerate being mocked, could tolerate the dissatisfaction and disregard of the royal father, but he could not bear to watch his own little sister jump into the pit of fire and remain indifferent!

"Forget it …" Even concubine mother cannot change his mind … Furthermore … I have said it very clearly in front of the royal father … I will! I'm willing to marry Xiao Jinfeng! I'm willing to be a slave! No matter what … I only hope that you and concubine mother can be safe … Brother... After you promised me to leave... You must take good care of concubine mother … " Duan Muyan wanted to cry, but she couldn't, she couldn't cry in front of the concubine mother, she had to suffer, but she couldn't let them suffer along!
