Hou's mansion has been busy for a whole day after another, before putting everything in order.
It was late at night after Sui Xun finished his work. He asked everyone to go back to rest and came to Sui Yan's side courtyard alone.
It was getting dark, Jun Jingxing hurried out from the small kitchen in the side courtyard with medicine in hand, and bumped into Suixun head-on.
Jun Jingxing nodded: "General Sui."
Sui Xun looked at the medicine in his hand and frowned, "Is it ill again after forgetting to return?"
Jun Jingxing has dishes on his face, so he can't say it directly, so he can only nod vaguely: "Yes."
Suixun said: "Give me the medicine, you can go back to rest."
Junjing Xingba had to go to serve Suiyan's ancestor, and hurriedly handed the medicine to Suixun, bowed and turned and ran away.
Sui Xun held the medicine in one hand, pushed open the door and walked in.
The curtain of the bed was half down, and Sui Yan was holding the wooden box holding the candied fruit and looking down, looking down, as if he was really sick.
Suixun walked over and said, "Forgot to go home?"
Sui Yan was stunned for a while, then raised his head and looked at him blankly.
"elder brother."
Sitting beside him, Sui Xun reached out and touched his forehead, and found that it was really hot. He handed the medicine over and said, "What's the matter, isn't it fine during the day?"
Suiyan's waist hurts and his legs are weak. It's hard to say that he was tired from playing around with Duan Mingchong yesterday, but he just answered vaguely with the medicine in his hands, without answering or denying it, he drank the medicine in small sips obediently.
Suixun pushed back the loose hair on his forehead for him, and said, "If you have anything in the future, remember to ask someone to come to me. If I don't come to see you, won't I know that you are sick again?"
Sui Yan put the bowl on the small table by the bed, lowered his head, grabbed the Buddha beads on his wrist and dipped gently, and said, "It's just a minor illness, after drinking the medicine, it will be healed, you're so busy, it's inconvenient to disturb you. you."
Suixun reprimanded: "Nonsense."
Sui Yan smiled.
It was too late, and Suixun told Suiyan a few words before getting up to leave.
Sui Yan stared at him in a daze. Suddenly, he straightened up and grabbed Sui Xun's arm. The wooden box that had been on his lap fell to the ground, and the candied fruit inside rolled to the ground.
Suixun turned around: "What's wrong?"
Sui Yan raised his head slightly and looked at him, the hand holding Sui Xun's sleeve was shaking slightly, he glanced at the wooden box on the ground, and suddenly said hoarsely, "Brother..."
Seeing that something was wrong with him, Sui Xun walked back and put his hand on his forehead, hesitantly asked, "Uncomfortable?"
Sui Yan covered the back of Sui Xun's hand with shaking hands, pulled it down slightly, and put his warm palm against his side face, he rubbed lightly, and said in a trembling voice, "Brother, don't go..."
Sui Xun was stunned for a moment, and some didn't understand why Sui Yan, who had been fine just now, did this suddenly.
He sat back again, patted Sui Yan's back lightly with the other hand, and tried his best to keep his voice soft: "Wanggui, is there anything you can't tell me? Or is it that the prince is making you unhappy?"
Sui Yan couldn't help laughing, but soon the circles of his eyes turned red, he bullied him, leaned in Sui Xun's arms, and hugged him hard.
Sui Xun still didn't like Sui Yan being so close to him, so he patted him on the back awkwardly for a moment.
Sui Yan muttered: "Don't go, only you... don't go... "
In this life, apart from Duan Mingchong, there is only this cold-hearted brother who treats him sincerely.
Sui Xun was stunned for a while, and then realized that Sui Yan's departure was not simply leaving.
After Sui Yan's rebirth, his eyes that were forced by friendship in his previous life were much clearer, and more and more people turned away from him and drifted further away.
He spent his whole life, even if he gave up his life, he would still treat each other sincerely;
Song Xian, a childhood friend.
And the person who accompanied him for two lifetimes... Li Zhao.
In his previous life, when he was imprisoned in the palace, Li Zhao was in charge of all the affairs of the palace.
At that time, the palace was extremely dilapidated, and there were no servants to serve. In the winter, Sui Yan suffered many illnesses and could not survive it. When the name is called, it is "Uncle Zhao".
Suiyan suddenly thought uncontrollably: "Why do they treat me like this? Duanzhi is right, Song Xian is, and now even Li Zhao is."
After he came up with this idea, he suddenly felt a little hypocritical. How can he control the thoughts of others
During the four-year period of the front end, his heart was broken. After so many years, when he thinks about it, he doesn't think it was a big deal, and it will be the same now.
always pass.
"Just get used to it." Sui Yan rubbed against Sui Xun's arms, thinking, "It's not the first time anyway, so it's not a big deal."
Sui Xun hugged Sui Yan gently and patted him on the back. He hadn't heard his voice for a long time. He lowered his head slightly and saw Sui Yan leaning against his arms, not knowing when he had already fallen asleep.
Sui Xun was stunned for a moment, and then heaved a sigh of relief.
He lightly placed Sui Yan on the couch, pulled the quilt on, and sat for a while, until Sui Yan fell asleep completely before turning around and leaving.
Before dawn, Hou's mansion started to get busy, and Sui Yan was soon woken up.
As soon as there was movement in the bed curtain, Jun Jingxing, who had been waiting in the outer room for a while, walked in without seeing, lifted the bed curtain, and hung it on the golden hook beside him.
Sui Yan opened his eyes slightly, as if he hadn't woken up.
Jun Jingxing said: "Get up, people outside have been busy for a long time."
Sui Yan let out a blank "Oh", and slowly sat up with his arms up. He sat for a while before realizing that something was wrong.
"I… "
He reached out and touched his face lightly, and found that his face was full of wet tears.
Jun Jingxing also saw it and frowned, "What's wrong?"
While wiping, Sui Yan wondered: "I don't know either. It seems like I had a dream, but... um, I can't remember what it was."
He hadn't wiped it clean yet, and the tears started to flow down again.
Jun Jingxing sat down and touched his forehead, but he did not have a fever.
Sui Yan's face was dazed, and it seemed that he didn't even know why he couldn't stop the tears.
Jun Jing Xing frowned and wiped his tears with the handkerchief on the side: "Are you uncomfortable?"
Sui Yan shook his head, he wiped it indiscriminately, and whispered, "No, today is my big brother's happy day, it's too unlucky."
But as soon as Jun Jingxing dried, the tears in his eyes flowed down uncontrollably and could not stop.
Sui Yan was a little puzzled: "What's wrong with me?"
Jun Jingxing raised his chin, stretched out his hand and pressed it at the end of his eye, and said, "It's probably where he's sleeping, wait for me to poke you."
Sui Yan quickly wiped his eyes: "No, no, no, I'll be fine in a while, I'll be fine soon, don't bother you with any big things."
Jun Jingxing looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile.
Although Sui Yan said nothing, but the tears were still flowing, Jun Jingxing watched for a long time and had no choice but to reach out and gently rub the acupuncture points around his eyes.
Sure enough, after a while, the desperate tears finally stopped.
Jun Jingxing stretched out his hand and flicked his eyebrows, and said, "Sleep peacefully in the future, don't always toss and turn."
Sui Yan nodded indiscriminately, and put the clothes on the side over his body.
The entire Hou Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful red silk, which was extremely festive.
Because Sui Yan was not in the mansion when it was repaired before, when he went out and took a look, he almost couldn't recognize it.
It was already dawn after he had eaten breakfast. The weather was very good today, the sky was clear and the air was clear, and the snow on the eaves had melted a lot.
Sui Yan carried the small hand stove and walked all the way from the corridor to the front yard, looking at the busy servants around without blinking, and said, "It's so lively."
Sui Yan liked to be lively since he was a child. Rao, who was so gloomy in his previous life, still likes to run to lively places.
This was the first time the Hou Mansion was so lively.
Jun Jingxing followed him and saw Sui Yan bending over and staring at the five sacrificial blessings carried by the servant, until the servant's hand became unstable, and he straightened up.
Sui Yan turned his head and said with a smile, "I haven't seen someone get married for a long time."
Jun Jingxing's eyes moved slightly, only then did he completely confirm that Sui Yan was not sick, he just cried like that for no reason, it should really just be pressing on a certain acupuncture point in his eyes.
Thinking of this, Jun Jingxing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's just red tape, it's really tiring to look at."
Sui Yan was so happy that he blinked at him and said, "But my brother will definitely enjoy it. When Jiang Ning is welcomed into the door, I will finally be able to see my brother smile sincerely."
Sui Yan walked forward with Jun Jingxing, turned around the corridor, and saw the whole courtyard was red, almost burning his eyes.
It was still early, and there were already people inside and out in Hou's mansion, but those people didn't look like servants or guests. Sui Yan recognized it carefully and found that a few of them seemed to come to Hou's mansion to look for Sui. Xun's lieutenant general.
Sui Xun used power for personal gain, and even the soldiers in the general were dragged over to do coolies.
As soon as Sui Yan came over, a few lieutenants who knew him hurriedly nodded and saluted, "Master Hou."
Sui Yan's eyes were bent, and he said, "What are you guys doing?"
A lieutenant held a small plate of fried citrus with honey, and said with a straight face, "Set up the hall and the banquet. It's messy and noisy here. You should stay away from your daughter."
Sui Yan glanced at the honey fry in his hand, rolled his eyes, and nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, I'll be leaving soon—hey, brother!"
The lieutenant turned around quickly to look. After scanning around, he didn't see any trace of Sui Xun. He turned around suspiciously. The citrus in his hand disappeared for some time, and Sui Yan also disappeared.
Lieutenant General: "..."
It is rumored that Lord Hou is reckless and reckless, and he really deserves his reputation.
Next to the rockery in Hou's mansion, Sui Yan sat on a stone, and put the saucer with the honey-fried citrus aside. inside.
Sui Yan ate one, and his hands were full of sugar water. He loved cleanliness, so he rubbed his hands with sugar water on Jun Jingxing in disgust, frowned and said, "It's delicious, it's just sticky. of."
Jun Jingxing rolled his eyes directly: "Then don't eat it!"
After finally getting it, how could Sui Yan give up? He randomly found a servant to get chopsticks, and ate with his eyes bent.
The ice in the pond in the Hou Mansion had been shattered, and the koi were swimming in the middle, occasionally popping out their heads to bite the fish food floating on the water.
There was still a lot of noise around, Sui Yan tilted his head and looked at the people in the yard, and said with a smile, "If only the Hou Mansion was so lively every day."
Jun Jingxing lowered his head and used a handkerchief to remove the sugar water from the hem of his clothes. Hearing this, he said lightly, "Aren't you too noisy?"
Sui Yan bit his chopsticks and added, "It would be better if the voice was a little lower."
As he said, he was about to pick up the citrus in the dish, but for some reason it suddenly became dark in front of him.
Then the voice in his ear stopped abruptly, as if it was blocked by something for a moment.
Sui Yan raised his head suspiciously and looked around, only to find that he was a little surprised. I don't know when, the people in the yard disappeared in an instant, and the fiery red lantern and red silk slowly turned into cobwebs and dust, and floated down.
Sui Yan seemed to be frightened, and in a trance, he seemed to feel that he had stood up from the same place.
He was completely unconscious, and could only watch helplessly as he walked forward in a daze, through the desolate and dilapidated corridor.
Looking up, the crows flapped their wings and landed on the eaves.
Sui Yan raised his voice in fear, "Brother?"
"Your Highness?"
He hurriedly ran back to where he was just now, and Jun Jingxing was nowhere to be seen.
Sui Yan didn't know if he was dreaming or not. He was running back and forth in the desolate mansion, but he couldn't get out no matter what.
After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly realized that this was not the Hou Mansion, but...
Jun Jingxing: "Master Hou?"
Sui Yan was startled.
“Master Hou!” Jun Jingxing shook Suiyan’s shoulder lightly and asked in doubt, “What’s the matter? Why are you in a daze all of a sudden?”
The nothingness in front of Suiyan's eyes dissipated like a mist, and he froze in place, only then did he realize that he was still sitting on a rock, surrounded by a lot of excitement.
Hearing the noise around him, Contrary to the previous one, Sui Yan felt a chill all over his body, and the cold air was like an invisible hand, and the soles of his feet were crawling up a little bit.
Jun Jingxing saw that his face was wrong, so he hurriedly supported his shoulder: "Master Hou?"
Sui Yan's eyes diverged and he murmured, "I... I seem to have had a dream last night."
He had said this when he woke up in the morning.
Jun Jingxing said: "Well, what kind of dream do you remember?"
Sui Yan nodded dumbly.
"I dreamed of..."
I dreamed that I was trapped in a desolate and uninhabited palace in my previous life, and I would never be free.
