Song Xian came over and frowned, "What are you thinking?"
Suiyan said: "Who is responsible for the wine at the banquet today?"
Song Xian pointed to himself and said, "Me."
Suiyan looked at him suspiciously: "You are a guest, what are you doing to arrange these things, the Third Prince's Mansion is no longer available?"
Song Xian said: "It was boring anyway, so I just took an errand. Why, what are you asking about this?"
Sui Yan blinked at him and whispered, "Then can you secretly replace my wine with peach nectar?"
Song Xian: "..."
Gan Enhe was heartless and hurriedly said, "Me! I want it too, can you replace it with ginseng soup?"
Song Xian: "..."
Song Xian looked at the two with the same eyes as a fool, and then said speechlessly for a while, "Are you two here to smash the scene?"
Sui Yan laughed and stopped teasing him.
After a while, Duan Zhisu came back. Perhaps there were too many guests to receive. He dragged Song Xian out after sitting in the courtyard for a long time. Gan Enhe also seemed to be amused when he saw this, and he followed up. go out.
Before leaving, Sui Yan held the small hand stove and said, "Your Highness, do you need my help?"
Although he said that, he didn't even look like he got up. Duan Zhisu laughed angrily and said, "It's so cold outside, just stay here and I'll be thankful if you don't cause me trouble."
Sui Yan could be lazy and open his lips and smiled.
Suixun Xu was too bored to wait, so he didn't know where to find a book to read.
Because Sui's family is a military official, Manmen Ning has a stubborn temper, so he can't be so flamboyant, and it doesn't fit well with the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.
Because Sui Yan and Duan Zhisu played together from childhood to adulthood, and even the entire Sui family had extensive contacts with the third prince, others secretly knew that the unfavored third highness did not know where the blessing came from, and even caught up with Sui With the support of Sui's family, Duan Zhisu also has a bargaining chip to fight for that position.
But only Suiyan himself knew that the reason why Sui's family and Duan Zhisu were good friends was not for King Qin to gain power, but simply because Suiyan and Duan Zhisu were friends.
In the last life, if Sui Xun was still alive, he would definitely not have let himself get into the muddy water of seizing the heir.
Just like now, if it weren't for the fact that Sui Yan and Duan Zhisu had a good relationship, according to Sui Xun's identity, he would not have come to a prince's birthday banquet.
It seems that many guests have come to the prince's mansion, and there is a faint noise.
Suixun glanced outside and said, "Aren't you going out to join in the fun?"
According to Sui Yan's age, it is the time to love fun.
Sui Yan shook his head, he took a sip of tea, and the old god said, "No, when you're old, you should hold tea and watch the young people make trouble."
He grabbed a servant and said, "Is there any wolfberry? Make me a new pot of tea with wolfberry and serve it."
The next person was busy.
Suixun: "..."
Suixun put the book down, walked over and touched his forehead, frowned, "Are you stupid?"
Sui Xun seldom treats him so intimately, at first approach, Sui Yan froze for a moment, holding tea and looking up at Sui Xun blankly.
Suixun said, "What's wrong?"
Sui Yan put down the tea and shook his head, Sui Xun was about to go back, but Sui Yan grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"Brother." Sui Yan whispered, "After the New Year, can you... can't you go to the border gate?"
Suixun thought he was going to say something big, but he was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Why do you suddenly say such childish words? Although there is no war at the border for the time being, the southern border thieves are eyeing the Beilan territory. Go, if something goes wrong, it won't be enough for me to die a hundred times, haven't Taifu told you about this?"
When he said that, he felt that he was being too strict. He coughed dryly and lowered his voice: "Don't be ridiculous."
Sui Yan squeezed the corner of his clothes and shook it gently, and said sadly, "Brother..."
Sui Xun was accustomed to Sui Yan's unreasonable gags, and at first glance, he was not used to his rare soft and coquettish behavior.
Seeing this, Sui Yan immediately took an inch, put his hands on Sui Xun's waist, buried his face in his arms, and said in a muffled voice, "Even if... even if you want to go back, you can go back later, okay? Just this time, promise to forget your return. , okay? Brother."
Suixun's lips moved slightly: "You..."
Sui Yan raised his head and looked at him eagerly: "When I was young, I was stubborn and playful and ignorant, but now that I am grown up, I want to spend more time with my brother."
The usual iron-blooded and indifferent general was a little at a loss, so he could only say: "Don't, don't act like a spoiled child."
Seeing that it was effective, Suiyan rubbed it even more vigorously: "Second brother, brother, you will not return for a few years after you leave. I was bullied in Beijing and no one gave me a head start..."
Hearing this, Sui Xun raised his brows and said coldly, "Who bullied you?"
Sui Yan was about to make persistent efforts to take this opportunity to file a complaint, when a chuckle suddenly came from the side, and he turned his head to look.
- Duan Ming Chong, who was dressed in ink, was standing at the door, staring at him with a smile on his lips.
Sui Yan was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red, and he let go of his hand at a loss.
Suixun quickly returned to his senses, turned around and saluted: "I have seen His Royal Highness."
Sui Yan shrank his head and sat on the side, and was dragged by Sui Xun's arm to stand up, and whispered: "Don't be rude."
Sui Yan hurriedly saluted: "Please... Please rest in peace, His Royal Highness."
When there is no one around, he can act like a spoiled brat with his brother. Anyway, the shame is just thrown to his own house, but he didn't expect that Duan Mingchong would watch him face to face.
At this moment, Sui Yan could not wait to find a seam and dig into it, dying of embarrassment.
Duan Mingchong was still laughing and said, "No need to be more polite, the relationship between the little prince and the general is really good."
Sui Yan's face flushed, and he whispered, "I... I'll go and see if the Third Highness needs my help, so I'll stay with you."
After speaking, without waiting for Duan Mingchong to answer, he quickly ran out wrapped in a cloak.
Sui Yan dived into the heavy snow, the wind and snow whistled in his ears, and he could vaguely hear Ming Chong's light laughter behind him.
Sui Yan thought desperately: "Ah, I don't know how to say it, anyway... I want to die."
Just after he came back from his rebirth, he saw through the red dust and wanted to die, but now he was so embarrassed and embarrassed that he wanted to die.
Why can Duan Mingchong see every humiliating and embarrassing moment
Sui Yan almost collapsed.
He hurriedly walked along the veranda all the way, the black hair draped behind his back was covered in white snow, turned a few turns at the end, and then arrived at the main hall of the Third Prince's Mansion.
It was snowing heavily today, and there were quite a few people who came to give gifts and congratulations. Sui Yan took a look inside and found that most of them were civil officials in the court, chatting happily in groups of three or five.
Duan Zhisu was in Tongshu, a man in black clothes didn't know what to say, Yu Guang swept to Sui Yan outside the door, was stunned for a moment, then said something to the man and walked towards him.
Duan Zhisu pulled him in, brushed the snow that had not melted on his hair with his hands, and frowned, "Aren't you drinking tea in the side courtyard? What are you doing standing here, is it cold?"
Sui Yan was so cold that his teeth were chattering, and he shivered: "His Royal Highness is talking with me and my brother. I don't want to disturb you... So, I ran out."
Duan Zhisu's brows furrowed even tighter, he explained a few words to Song Xian beside him, and then took Sui Yan to the bedroom in the backyard.
There was a charcoal basin burning in the bedroom, and Sui Yan felt the snow on his hair turned into water shortly after he came in, so Duan Zhisu took off the cloak for him, and whispered, "I'm still busy today, If you are weak, don't go out and play around, just sleep here for a while, and I'll call you again when the evening feast begins."
Sui Yan nodded.
Duan Zhi said solemnly: "Why, I just saw that you yawned all the time, did you not sleep last night?"
Suiyan took off his shoes, sat on the bed and hugged the quilt to look at him, and said softly, "I was punished by my brother for copying books yesterday, and I didn't sleep well."
Duan Zhisu lit the soothing incense in the small incense burner aside, and white smoke curled up.
"Copy books? What did you do wrong again?"
Suiyan shook his head, Duan Zhisu was taking off his hair crown for him, and said, "Don't move, it's still you that hurts when you pull your hair out."
Sui Yan had no choice but to move, and said, "I didn't do anything, I just went to Hualou."
Duan Zhisu made a move and frowned: "Didn't I tell you before, that Hualou is not a good place to go, even if you want to show your lust, you can't go too much, just go if you go, how can you still be caught by your brother? So, he didn't kill you?"
Sui Yan didn't want to speak, rubbed his hair and planted his head on the soft pillow.
When Suiyan was young, there was no one in the Hou Mansion all the year round. Since Duan Zhisu had the Prince's Mansion outside the palace, he came to the capital to eat, drink and sleep in bed, and he was used to it.
Duan Zhisu didn't ask any more questions, and someone brought a bowl of hot ginger soup and watched Sui Yan drink it before turning around and leaving.
Sui Yan was lying on his side on the bed, sniffing the cold woody fragrance between his nostrils, his mind was full of wild thoughts, for a while he wondered who could poison the wine without knowing it, and for a while he thought of Sui Xun going to the south Whether Jiang can come back in the end, after a while, the soothing effect of the incense kicked in, and he slept in the dark.
There was a faint whistling sound of wind and snow in his ears, and Sui Yan's dream was also a wind and snow night as if a cold knife had been blown.
He was wearing a cloak, kneeling outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the heavy snow whistling in his ears, and the chill couldn't stop digging into his bones.
The old eunuch who was waiting beside the emperor held an umbrella and bent over beside him to persuade in a low voice: "Little Marquis, now the emperor is angry and won't see you. It's such a cold day, you should go back."
The young man Sui Wanggui shook his head, and his voice was blown away in the cold wind: "I must see the emperor today, please help my father-in-law to pass it on again."
The old eunuch said anxiously: "Your Majesty is going to rest now, my little prince, if you kneel here, it would be a good thing..."
Sui Wanggui smiled softly, trembling nonsense: "It's okay, I'm not cold."
The old eunuch watched Sui Wanggui grow up, where he had seen such a sullen smile, he was startled, put the umbrella beside Sui Wanggui, blocked the wind and snow, and returned to When I arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, I planned to persuade the emperor again.
It's just that he just walked into the hall, but saw the emperor reach out and tap on the table, saying, "Go pour a glass of wine and send it to Duan Zhisu."
The old eunuch was startled, his face was pale, and he said tentatively: "Your Majesty, Lord Sui Xiaohou is still kneeling outside, it is snowing heavily outside, and his body has always been weak..."
The emperor frowned and said, "Xuan him come in."
The old eunuch was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped back and walked out.
Not long after, Sui Wanggui walked in, covered in snow and wind. As soon as he saw the emperor, he immediately knelt down with a thud, his forehead touched the ground, and trembled, "I beg your majesty for mercy."
The old eunuch was holding a glass of wine beside him, took a breath and sweated for Sui Wanggui.
The emperor looked at him indifferently and said, "Who do you want me to give? How?"
Sui Wanggui said in a hoarse voice, "Even if the Third Highness has committed an unforgivable mistake, it is still His Majesty's own flesh and blood. I hope you will see..."
Before he finished speaking, the emperor swept down the piles of memorials on the table with one sleeve, and said angrily: "How dare you even intercede for him?! Look, this, these! These are all the civil and military ginseng of the Manchu Dynasty. He can do things like poison the crown prince, form a party for selfishness, and he is really my good son!"
Sui Wanggui bowed his head and said in a trembling voice, "His Royal Highness is not the one who murdered his younger brother, someone must be framed..."
The young Sui Yan was ignorant of world affairs, so he went over and over again to exonerate Duan Zhisu, and what he said was completely out of his mind.
"Iron evidence is like a mountain! How do you know that someone else has framed him?" The emperor was furious, picked up an inkstone and smashed it down, hitting Sui Wanggui's left shoulder, and ink was spilled all over his body.
The old eunuch hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, calm down."
The emperor took a deep breath, and then said: "Sui Wanggui, others would not be afraid to see him in distress, why do you have no heart to move up?"
Sui Wanggui was speechless.
The emperor stared at Sui Wanggui, who was shivering on the ground, and said for a long time, "Duan Zhisu, murdered my younger brother, gave me death, and sent this cup of stigma to the Third Prince's Mansion."
The old eunuch was shocked: "Your Majesty, this..."
At the same time, Sui Wanggui suddenly raised his head and his eyes were red: "Your Majesty, please spare his life because of the father-son relationship for many years!"
The emperor looked at him coldly as he slammed his head on the icy ground, perhaps with too much force, the skin was torn on his forehead, and a trace of blood was slowly left behind.
"His Majesty!"
The emperor stood up slowly according to the book table, looked at him condescendingly, and suddenly said: "Since you are interceding for him, then this glass of poisonous wine will be rewarded to you."
Sui Wanggui was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised his head and looked at him blankly.
The emperor said to the old eunuch: "Go."
The old eunuch was trembling all over, but he didn't dare to disobey the emperor's order. He walked slowly to Sui Wanggui and bent down, the jade wine bottle on the wooden support in his hand shone slightly.
Sui Wanggui stared blankly at the wine bottle in front of him. After a while, he picked up the wine bottle with shaking hands and looked down.
The emperor looked at him trembling with fear, sneered, and was about to speak, but saw Sui Wanggui shaking his hands and suddenly brought the wine bottle to his lips and drank the wine.
The emperor was startled and said angrily, "You!"
The old eunuch was so frightened that he knelt down, "Little Marquis!"
The jade cup fell to the ground and was shattered.
The poisonous wine was swallowed down his throat, and there was a bit of heat in the cold. He was obviously afraid of despair, but he still touched the ground, and his voice trembled: "I beg Your Majesty to spare the life of the Third Highness."
The emperor stared at him blankly for a long time, before he swung the candlestick on the table to the ground, and said angrily, "What are you still doing!? Go and get the imperial doctor!"
The old eunuch ran out in a hurry.
Sui Wanggui still knelt on the ground and shivered, but still whispered: "Please, Your Majesty..."
please your majesty...
Suddenly, someone touched his forehead lightly, and the cold touch suddenly awakened Sui Yan.
Sui Yan slowly opened his eyes, Duan Zhisu was sitting beside his bed, frowned at him, and said, "Have you had a nightmare?"
Sui Yan didn't know whether it was a dream or reality for a while, just stared at him blankly.
Duan Zhisu touched his forehead again and said, "I don't have a fever, it seems that I'm drowsy."
He patted Sui Yan's pale face and coaxed, "Forgetting to return, do you still recognize someone? The feast will start soon, and I can't sleep anymore."
