Meng Yuyi said: "Let's not talk about the residual toxicity of his body..."
Duan Mingchong frowned: "Let's talk about poison first."
Doctor Meng: "..."
"Has he really been poisoned?"
Meng Yuyi nodded: "The genius doctor in the little Houye's mansion is really superb in medicine, and such domineering poisons can go to seven, seven or eight. Get back the life of the little prince."
Duan Ming Chong said, "What kind of poison is it?"
Royal Doctor Meng looked left and right, and whispered two words.
Duan Mingchong's face changed instantly.
Sui Yan followed the palace servants all the way into Duan Xichen's bedroom, and after he opened the curtain, he found that Duan Xichen had fallen asleep again.
Since being poisoned, Duan Xichen has lost weight all over, his face is a bit unnaturally sallow, and he looks very weak.
Sui Yan glanced at his face, his heart trembled suddenly, and the uncontrollable fear was forcibly suppressed by him.
He took a deep breath, nodded slightly as a salute, and the palace servant who was guarding beside him reminded a little embarrassedly: "Little Marquis, it is illegal to bow and salute in front of the patient's couch. You only need to take a look."
Sui Yan said oddly, "The ceremony cannot be abandoned, do you want me to kneel down and salute him?"
The palace servant was even more embarrassed, and reminded him in a low voice that this was a salute to the dead.
Sui Yan said "Oh", bowed his head and bowed again.
I wish you an early return to the West.
Palace staff: "..."
The palace man looked pale, and looked at Sui Yan speechlessly, for a while he didn't know whether to chase him away.
Duan Xichen didn't wake up, and Sui Yan couldn't even wake him up and fell into trouble, sighed, turned around and left.
And just after he left, Duan Xichen, who had fallen asleep, seemed to be awakened by something, trembled slightly, and suddenly opened his eyes.
Originally, his body could not move because of the domineering poison, but at this time, for some reason, the blue veins on his arm burst out, and his hand was barely lifted, but it fell down in an instant.
When Suiyan went out, Duan Mingchong was sitting beside him, and he was talking to Yuyi Meng with a gloomy expression. When he saw him coming out, he smiled reluctantly at him and said, "Have you read it?"
Sui Yan nodded and asked curiously, "What are you talking about? Can I listen to the Fifth Prince's illness?"
Meng Yuyi smiled dryly, bowed and stepped back.
Duan Mingchong took a deep breath and looked at Sui Yan with a complicated look.
Sui Yan blinked: "What's wrong?"
Duan Mingchong shook his head: "It's nothing, it's getting late, let me send you out of the palace."
Sui Yan was about to nod his head when he suddenly seemed to think of something, and smiled with his eyes bent: "I finally entered the palace, won't Your Highness invite me for a cup of tea?"
Duan Mingchong didn't see his wolf ambition, so he took him to the East Palace.
Sui Yan followed along.
The tea in the East Palace is the first tribute new tea every year. Duan Mingchong asked people to make a pot of tea, and then ordered some sweet soup to come over.
Sui Yan didn't come for tea at first, but when he saw Duan Mingchong let someone prepare sweet soup and dessert, his eyes were even more curved, and he wanted to stick to him directly and not leave.
After Duan Mingchong asked someone to bring refreshments, suddenly someone from the palace came in and bowed to Duan Mingchong.
Duan Mingchong glanced at it, his eyes slightly cold.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty has asked you to come."
Duan Mingchong nodded coldly: "I see."
He took a deep breath, restrained the coldness on his face, and said unnaturally to Sui Yan, "I'm going to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, you..."
Sui Yan is eating sweet-scented osmanthus cake, very understanding: "Okay, I'll be here waiting for you to come back, I will never run around and cause trouble."
Duan Mingchong looked at him helplessly, and after another exhortation, he left with the person.
After Sui Yan finished eating the cakes and drinking the sweet soup, he sat in the front hall and waited for half an hour, until it was late outside, and Duan Mingchong hadn't come back.
The palace servants in the East Palace were given Duan Mingchong's advice, and they were very respectful to him. Sui Yan got impatient after waiting for a long time, and got up and planned to run into the study.
There was a whole wall of books in Duan Mingchong's study, and Sui Yan flipped through a few of them, and found that they were all about governing the country and self-cultivation, and many annotations were densely marked with cinnabar.
Sui Yan murmured, "I read this kind of book all day, no wonder I've been brought up like that."
He flipped through a few more books at random, and inadvertently swept across two new books on the wooden shelf. Driven by curiosity, he reached down on tiptoe and opened a page at random, and was instantly shocked.
This turned out to be two playbooks that were collected from nowhere!
As soon as the playbook was read, it was obvious that it was made up. There were not many stories on it, but there were a bunch of messy folk customs, and they were well written.
Sui Yan was amazed as he flipped through the pages, thinking to himself that Duan Mingchong would read such a book, he really couldn't see it.
He sighed with emotion as he finished the book hastily, and when he was flipping through the second book, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a line of comments—about the Lantern Festival viewing lanterns.
Sui Yan blinked his eyes for a long time, and finally couldn't help laughing.
He finally understood why Duan Mingchong asked that sentence on the day of the Lantern Festival, and it was from here that he could see it.
Sui Yan made up the appearance of Duan Ming Chong holding this sinful playbook page by page seriously, laughing almost to the point of falling.
With just those two books, Sui Yan sat on the chair and read it carefully for a long time, but in the end, he couldn't bear to lie down on the desk and fell asleep.
It was not until three quarters of Xu Shi, that Duan Mingchong came from the outside in a hurry, and before he took off his cloak, he asked, "Where's the little prince?"
The palace servant pointed to the study room cautiously.
Duan Mingchong's face was a little pale, and he seemed to stumble a little while walking. He didn't stop and went straight into the study.
Sui Yan had already fallen asleep on the desk, and the palace servant did not dare to disturb him, so he brought a charcoal basin and put it aside, and carefully covered him with a blanket, but he didn't let him freeze.
Duan Mingchong was a little annoyed, he stepped forward and gently pushed Sui Yan, and said softly, "Ayan?"
Sui Yan was pushed awake in confusion, looked at him in confusion, and took a long time to recognize him: "Your Highness, you are back."
Duan Mingchong's face was full of coldness at first, but seeing Sui Yan's soft and glutinous appearance at this time, he suddenly felt better for some unknown reason.
He leaned down and touched Sui Yan's forehead, and said, "Are you sleepy? I'll take you home."
Sui Yan couldn't open his eyes, he tilted his head and bumped into Duan Ming Chong's arms, and said vaguely, "I don't want to move, I want to sleep."
Duan Mingchong's legs were unstable and he was almost knocked down by him, so he had to say: "Okay, then I will take you to sleep in the side hall, you will catch a cold when you sleep here."
Sui Yan nodded in confusion, and stood up obediently supported by Duan Mingchong.
Sui Yan was in a daze at first, but when he got out of the study and was blown by the cold wind, he quickly woke up.
He was about to step forward and make a few jokes, but found that Duan Mingchong seemed to be walking abnormally.
The two quickly arrived at the side hall of the East Palace, and Duan Mingchong said, "Have you not eaten at night? I'll let someone prepare some dishes for you, and you can use some before sleeping."
Sui Yan looked at his legs calmly and said, "Why did Your Highness stay in the Hall of Supreme Harmony for so long, is there something important in the court?"
Duan Mingchong's face froze, and he forced a smile: "It's nothing important, there are too many trivial things that delay time and make you wait too long, I..."
He was about to turn around and ask someone to rush dinner, when Sui Yan didn't know what he saw, and suddenly said: "The emperor suspects that Duan Xichen was injured and poisoned by you?"
Duan Mingchong made a move, waved his hand to let the palace attendants go down, until the room was empty, and then said lightly: "On the day of the Lantern Festival, I was the only one who left the palace uncharacteristically, and also appeared at the Lantern Festival, and the royal father was suspicious. It's not unreasonable."
Suiyan said, "Don't you have an excuse?"
Duan Mingchong smiled.
After Suiyan finished speaking, he realized that he had asked a stupid question. According to Duan Mingchong's temperament, how could he allow himself to be accused of murdering his brother for no reason? , believe it or not, is another matter.
Seeing the dirt on his knees, Sui Yan probably had a bottom line.
He is... fined.
Otherwise, Sui Yan is clearly waiting in his palace, and even if he has a big thing, he will not delay for so long.
Duan Mingchong pulled him down and said softly, "You don't have to worry about this matter, I can handle it."
Sui Yan absent-mindedly squeezed the sachet at his waist, "um", and obediently didn't ask any more questions.
Soon, the food was brought up. Duan Mingchong took a closer look and found that there was nothing Suiyan couldn't eat, so he watched him eat some.
After finishing the meal, Duan Ming Chong said, "Go to sleep first, and I will take you back to the house when I come back early tomorrow."
Sui Yan was drinking soup on the side, when he heard the words, he wondered, "What are you going to do?"
Duan Ming Chong said: "Father... Let me copy the virtuous strategy several times and bring it over tomorrow."
Sui Yan moved for a while, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Kneeling as punishment, copying books.
Rao Shisuiyan was also at a loss as to what the emperor meant. If he really suspected Duan Mingchong of murdering his brother, why was the punishment so lighthearted
Or, he didn't doubt Duan Mingchong at all, but just wanted to beat Duan Mingchong.
Suiyan put down the bowl and nodded after a while, "Okay."
Duan Ming Chong reminded him several times, and then he hurried to the study.
Sui Yan took off his coat and went into the quilt. The palace servants helped him burn the charcoal pot, and he lowered his eyebrows and did not dare to look at the bed.
The more Suiyan thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, and suddenly said, "What did your Highness go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony today?"
Duan Mingchong asked someone close to him to take care of Sui Yan, and Sui Yan remembered very clearly that this person was the servant who followed Duan Mingchong to the Supreme Harmony today.
The palace servant was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Little Marquis..."
Sui Yan took the trouble to ask again, and the palace servants probably got Duan Mingchong's advice, so he didn't say anything about life or death.
Suiyan was even more convinced that Duan Mingchong was punished, and his beloved son could not help but punish the crown prince when he was injured.
He was so angry that he couldn't do anything for Duan Mingchong for the time being, so he shrank into the quilt with a cold face and let people go down.
The palace servants hurriedly ran away.
In the study, Duan Mingchong was copying the thick book when he heard this and frowned slightly: "Why did he ask this?"
The palace servant said cautiously, "My subordinates don't dare to speak rashly, but the little Marquis seems to have noticed something and has been chasing after him."
Duan Ming held his hands and frowned, "Did he fall asleep?"
"Probably tired and went to bed early."
Duan Mingchong continued to copy the book expressionlessly, his wrists shaking a little: "Well, I see, I'm waiting for you."
The palace servant hurriedly bowed and stepped back.
Duan Mingchong stayed in the study until he was ugly, and then he was able to finish copying the book. He just put down the pen, and the palace servant hurried from outside, before he had time to salute, and said, "Your Highness, something happened to the little marquis."
Duan Mingchong was startled and hurried to the side hall.
The side hall was burning with charcoal pots, and it was warm.
As soon as Duan Ming Chong walked in, he saw Sui Yan, a single-clothed man sitting beside the burnt incense burner with his hair down and his knees tucked.
Duan Mingchong hurriedly walked over and said softly, "Ayan?"
Sui Yan looked up at him in confusion, his pupils diverged, wondering if he could still recognize him.
