Jun Huailang paused, and inexplicably thought of Xue Yan's detached and indifferent appearance just now.
Xue Yan was soaked all over that day, and it was the same when he led him to change his clothes.
He seems to be used to bullying, and has long been numb. No matter how many insults and bullying he is, he doesn't realize it. When someone reaches out to him, he doesn't respond.
Jun Huailang's sour heart was inexplicably hard.
He smiled at Jun Linghuan and said, "Of course it's your brother. There are still some lychees on the table, you can bring them to him."
Xue Yunhuan wondered from the side: "Why are you so good to him? That evil star is a white-eyed wolf who is useless no matter how good he is. Maybe he will bring you bad luck."
Jun Huailang reassured himself that it wasn't that I was soft-hearted, but it was because I told Ling Huan earlier that Xue Yan was her own brother, so she couldn't break her promise and ruined her sister.
Thinking of this, Jun Huailang also told Jun Linghuan to say: "Stay away, don't say that it was your brother who asked you to go. Don't say too much, just call him a few more times, brother."
That's what matters most. He didn't believe it, Xue Yan had been fascinated by Jun Linghuan since he was a child, and she was called a big brother by her, so what could he think about.
Thinking of this, he also felt relieved and let Jun Linghuan take the palace maid.
—
Xue Yan sat alone in the corner, no one around and no one noticed him.
Someone approached him behind him, and he remained calm, just sitting where he was drinking tea. When the man approached, he finally realized it, turned around and looked at the man: "What's the matter?"
He frowned, with just the right amount of doubt on his face.
The man bowed his body, dressed as a eunuch, and did not swear when he heard the words. Instead, he smiled and asked, "Your Highness, are you willing to be in such a situation?"
Xue Yan paused, then looked gloomy and indifferent, and said, "There is nothing to be reconciled to, but just live."
The man went on to ask: "But the Second Highness has bullied you again and again, clearly trying to drive you to a dead end. If it wasn't for your martial arts skills, you would have been killed or injured today, not a riot. For play."
Hearing this, Xue Yan frowned and asked, "How do you know it's the Second Emperor?"
The man smiled and said, "Minions have their own way."
Xue Yan was silent for a moment, then curled his lips and laughed at himself: "How much more than the second emperor? From the father to the people in the palace, who doesn't want my life? Even if I hate it, but I am alone, how can there be any solution?"
Hearing this, the man had a meaningful smile on his face.
"You are not alone, Your Highness," he said.
"There is a person who has been concerned about you since you were born. It's a pity that because of your identity, you have never been able to see your face. As long as you are willing, he and his subordinates are your backing." This eunuch Speaking in a succinct manner, although he lowered his head, Yu Guang still looked at Xue Yan's reaction.
Xue Yan's face showed a bit of confusion and emotion, as well as cautious yearning. After listening to him, he asked, "Who is that person?"
The eunuch stared at him for a moment, then slowly knelt down, and under the cover of the branches, gave him a big gift.
"Eunuch Wu Shunhai, who is in charge of the East Factory, was the eunuch of your mother's concubine's palace back then," he said. "It has been fifteen years since Eunuch Wu and Concubine Rong's master and servant were separated. It's time for Eunuch Wu to be used by His Royal Highness."
"What do you mean..." Xue Yan asked calmly.
The eunuch went on to say: "Eunuch Wu has already reported to Duke Duan Chang of Ming Dynasty. Duke Duan Chang is moved by his deep relationship with the master and servant of Concubine Rong. Notorious, tainted His Highness's name."
Xue Yan didn't speak for a moment. The eunuch knelt down on the ground and was quite calm. The two remained silent for a long time before Xue Yan's subtle footsteps sounded.
He stepped forward, bowed and helped the eunuch up with his hands.
"I didn't expect... I never knew." His voice was low and hoarse, and it took a moment for him to suffocate such a sentence.
"I always thought that no one would..." Having said this, his voice was choked, and he was speechless for a moment.
Then, he calmed down and asked, "How is Eunuch Wu now? I think he served my mother-in-law back then, but he must be quite old now."
The eunuch replied, "Eunuch Wu has always been healthy, so don't worry, Your Highness."
Speaking of which, he asked tentatively, "Then, Your Highness, what the servant said..."
Xue Yan smiled and said, "I've gotten used to it over the years. I understand Eunuch Wu's kindness, but if I want to seek revenge, I don't know how to do it... It's just that I have never had relatives, thanks to Eunuch Wu's concern. After so long, I don't know when I can meet my father-in-law, I want to catch up with him."
When the eunuch heard the words, he did not express his stance, but agreed: "The father-in-law is inconvenient, but if there is a chance, he will definitely meet with His Highness."
Xue Yan thanked him and watched him leave.
The warmth, emotion and smile on his face, like a mask, were taken off lightly by him, returning to the original indifference and ridicule.
Second prince? The second prince has no such ability, so he sent such a strong martial arts master to fight with him, just to make himself suffer a small injury. Only Dongchang can have such a big deal.
How many times he has been attacked on the battlefield, it has become instinctive to listen to six directions and see all directions. Today's attack, even if there are three or five people, he can handle it with ease.
However, the other party tried his best to set up the situation, and he couldn't ruin the other party's happiness. He had to show the other party's mind to let them bite the hook.
Sure enough, the big fish took the bait, which also confirmed his guess.
His mother, Concubine Rong's former servant, fell down the tree and threw it into the big tree of Dongchang. Over the years, he climbed to a high position and became the second-in-command of the eunuch in charge of the printing of Dongchang. But the East Factory was in recession again, lost the trust of the emperor, and became a rat crossing the street.
Therefore, he would think of finding a prince to be their puppet. After all, the East Factory Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is not short of talent and ability, and only needs a chess piece for them to send out, so that their skills can be put to use.
If the prince is pushed to a high position in the future, they will be able to cover the sky again with one hand.
Therefore, they will look for him. After all, someone like him who has been bullied in the palace and happens to be related to someone from Dongchang is best to control.
What about the Seven Kills? The people of Dongchang have never done anything filthy and private, and they have no descendants, so they are not afraid of death.
Finally, after casting the net for so long, Xue Yan finally caught this wily big fish.
And his refusal just now was nothing more than retreat. After all, people who harbor hatred but dare not take revenge, are cowardly and have strong feelings, are born to be pawns.
He added a weight and waited for Wu Shunhai to sit still.
The expression on Xue Yan's face was like a smile but not a smile, with a cold and sober chill. He sat back and picked up the teacup again.
Just then, there were footsteps coming from far and near.
Xue Yan looked up, and saw a little girl carved in pink and jade, wrapped in a furry cloak, walking towards him with short legs, followed by a palace maid holding a lychee.
This is... Jun Huailang's sister
Xue Yan remembered the cold look he had just given Jun Huailang.
At that time, the people from Dongchang were staring in the dark, and he knew it well, so he deliberately distanced himself from Jun Huailang.
Fang Caijun Huailang's reaction was to take revenge. But he took every step of the way and could not tolerate the slightest mistake.
So what is this little girl doing
He sat in the same place and watched the little girl come forward, smiling with frowning eyes, and she looked a bit like his brother.
Xue Yan's heart was inevitably softened by two points.
Then, he heard the little girl say crisply, "Brother! Are you thirsty? I brought you lychees!"
Xue Yan paused and couldn't help but think, that little peacock was called brother like this every day
He is so soft-hearted and easy to bully, it's no wonder that he can ask for anything from this little girl, and love him to the top of his heart.
Over there, Jun Linghuan kept his elder brother's words in mind, and wanted to call this elder brother more times. She is young and has a sweet mouth. This task is too easy for her.
Seeing that this brother didn't speak, she wasn't angry at all, instead she picked up a lychee and put it in Xue Yan's hand.
"Hurry up, brother! My brother doesn't like sweets, so he praised this lychee for its deliciousness!"
When Xue Yan heard her mention her brother, she lowered her eyes and looked at the ignorant little girl.
"Did your brother ask you to come?" Xue Yan asked.
When Jun Linghuan heard the words, he was startled, and then he showed an embarrassed look.
"Oops..." she whispered. "Brother didn't let me say it, how did you guess it?"
Xue Yan heard the words and looked up at the school grounds. Zhuo Ran's figure can be seen at a glance from a distance.
There was an unconcealed smile in Xue Yan's eyes.
"Silly," he muttered to himself.
Not far from them, the second prince came from Jun Linghuan, and his eyes kept falling on her.
As for the lychees, there were only a dozen or so in his mother's palace. His mother and concubine were reluctant to eat it, so she left it all to him, but she just tasted it, and it was all gone.
And Jun Linghuan was able to generously bring several plates of lychees as snacks for Jun Huailang and Xue Yunhuan. There were so many lychees, and it was enough to give them a few princes each, but Jun Linghuan only gave those two, and then he brought a large plate and gave it to Xue Yan.
The second prince was so jealous that his teeth itch.
Beside him, the fourth prince smiled like a spring breeze, and said casually, "Concubine Shu's family is so kind to the fifth brother. He doesn't say anything about the fifth brother, even the brother and sister of the prince treat him like that. Dear."
The second prince snorted coldly and said nothing.
Then, as if thinking of something, the fourth prince turned to Jun Enze.
"Enze, aren't you the prince's cousin? It's considered that we have grown up together since childhood, but the prince seems to be more attached to the fifth brother he just met." He said with a smile. "With so many lychees, I never thought of giving you some."
Hearing this, Jun Enze didn't speak for a long time in embarrassment, and after a while, he spoke through gritted teeth.
"He was such a selfish man," he said.
