The two of them walked in the garden, one behind the other. The moonlight shone in layers, decorating the night with a soft halo, which was so beautiful that it made people feel overwhelmed.
Xiaoxiao looked up at him, her tall figure seemed a bit lazy and unruly, but she still showed an arrogance that could not be overturned.
Suddenly, he stopped. He turned sideways, glanced at her with his evil eyes, and asked in a serious tone, "Why are you coming back?"
"I don't understand what the prince is talking about." Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and said slowly, "Did the prince, like the princess, admit the wrong person? I am Lou Xiaoxiao, not anyone else."
Duan Yichen raised his lips sarcastically, "Really?" He approached slowly, a trace of anger overflowing, like an invisible net, restraining her, "You are already standing in front of me, and you still want to deny it?
?"
Xiaoxiao raised her head and looked at him with blurred eyes, "Your Majesty, I don't know who you expect me to be. However, what I want to tell you is that the only one standing here at this moment is Lou Xiaoxiao."
"Damn it!" Duan Yichen could no longer suppress the anger boiling in his chest, and pinched her shoulders, "Why do you want to hurt the second brother? Are you really a woman with a heart of snakes and scorpions?"
Staring at his red eyes and the sadness that could not be concealed there, Xiaoxiao suddenly laughed. She blocked his hand and stepped back, "You are right, the human heart is the most unpredictable. I just
I hope the prince will not be too disappointed when he sees it clearly." With a weird smile, Xiaoxiao disappeared from his sight.
Duan Yichen's bushy eyebrows were about to turn into a thin line, and the complicated feelings in his heart tortured him almost to the point of going crazy. He originally thought that he would ruthlessly avenge his second brother. However, when he saw her again, he was upset to find that,
He simply can't do it!
When they returned to the room, Wu Shuang and Wu Shui had already changed into night clothes and were waiting there, "Girl, do you want to take action tonight?"
Xiaoxiao nodded cautiously, "At night, you just need to force him out of the private courtyard."
"Yeah!" The two immediately put on their masks and nimbly turned over and jumped out of the window. Xiaoxiao kept pacing in the room, paying attention to every move outside.
There was not much time, and there was a loud sound of gongs, "It's on fire! Hurry and put out the fire!"
Suddenly, the palace was filled with people. Everyone hurried there to put out the fire. Xiaoxiao also quickly opened the door and stood at the door looking towards the place where there was fire.
Slowly, a sneer appeared on his lips.
Duan Yunyan, let’s see how long you can hide!
In the single courtyard, the door was tightly sealed, and the surrounding houses were all on fire, while the three people in the courtyard were fighting fiercely.
Duan Yunyan had long ago abandoned his wheelchair and started fighting with two men in black. Judging from their stature and strength, they were obviously women, but their skills were surprisingly good, and they killed each other with every move. It was not easy to defeat them.
Facing the increasingly tacit cooperation between Wu Shui and Wu Shuang and the increasingly fierce attacks, he must deal with them with all his strength and caution.
"Tell me! Who sent you to kill me?"
"Lord of Hell!" Wu Shuang shouted tenderly, and faced him fiercely. Wu Shui did not hesitate, focusing on his bottom plate.
Duan Yunyan snorted, "Okay! Then I'll send you to see him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he attacked with all his strength, forcing the two of them to retreat step by step. He had to use the shortest possible time to get rid of them!
On the other side, Duan Yichen also arrived early. When he saw this scene, he rushed to open the door. With evil eyes raised, he jumped over the high wall and landed in the courtyard.
But when he saw the scene in front of him, he was completely shocked...
Xiaoxiao stood in front of the door, watching the firelight not far away gradually disappear. Two figures quickly rushed to her side, "Girl,"
Wu Shui and Wu Shuang took off the veils on their faces and smiled, "Now, Duan Yunyan looks good."
A smile bloomed on Xiaoxiao's lips, and she turned around gracefully, "Let's go have supper."
****
Seeing Duan Yunyan standing steadily in front of him, Duan Yichen slowly raised his head and met his calm eyes, "Second brother, can you tell me why this is?"
Duan Yunyan smiled lightly, "Sixth brother, don't you want me to stand up?"
Duan Yichen lowered his eyes, "Actually, you can stand up a long time ago."
He did not deny it, but walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder, "Sixth brother, I forgive my second brother for hiding the truth from you. It's not that I don't trust you, but that I don't want to get involved in the imperial court's struggle for power again.
It's much more comfortable to be a useless person. Sixth brother, you don't blame the second brother, do you?"
"Haha," Duan Yichen chuckled, Xie Si's handsome face was a little pale, and he raised his eyes, "Second brother, I will never forget that it was you who saved my life."
"Let bygones be bygones, why are you bringing it up?" Duan Yunyan smiled in relief, "Second brother saved you, and I never thought about asking you to repay me."
Duan Yichen's smile became more ambiguous, "I will definitely repay the kindness given to you by my second brother. However," his eyes slowly turned cold, "I just want to know one thing."
Duan Yunyan's eyes were calm and he raised his eyebrows, "What?"
"With Second Brother's skills, how can she hurt you?"
Duan Yunyan sighed and nodded, "Now, I can only tell you everything." He paused and said, "I said before that a mysterious man rescued her. In fact, that mysterious man is...
"He looked into Duan Yichen's eyes and spoke slowly, "Fourth brother."
"Fourth brother?" Duan Yichen was not surprised, but only raised his eyebrows.
"Hey, in order not to affect the relationship between our brothers, I would rather bear it alone. However, I don't want you to misunderstand. After all, you are the brother I value most."
Duan Yi pondered for a moment, "Second brother, I understand."
He turned around and was about to leave, but paused and turned back, "Second brother, since you can stand up now, please move to the wing of the mansion. Sooner or later, my father will also know. If you are timid, you will easily attract criticism from others.
.”
"Yeah," Duan Yunyan nodded.
Walking out of the private courtyard, Duan Yichen frowned tightly. The fire came too suddenly, and the two mysterious men in black just disappeared without a trace after seeing him appear. It was obvious that they were
Wanting to attract his attention, I discovered the secret of my second brother.
So, who could it be?
Xiaoxiao's cold and charming face quickly flashed through my mind...
After moving out of the Independent Courtyard, Duan Yunyan immediately resumed his status as a county king and stayed at the Sixth Prince's Mansion with peace of mind. After hearing the news, Xiaoxiao knew that she was one step closer to her goal.
Finally, she and Duan Yunyan "ran into each other unexpectedly" in the corridor. Seeing the shocked expression on Duan Yunyan's face, Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly and said, "Xiaoxiao, see the prince."
