What happened after that, the three people watching the play did not know. Anyway, when they quietly crawled out along the corner of the wall, they could still hear the anger of the emperor in the palace of the fifth prince.
Sui Yan whispered as he crawled: "Second prince is miserable this time. Murdering his younger brother is not a small crime."
Song Xian followed behind him, ripped off the flowers on his head, and said, "I still want to know why that genius doctor keeps looking at the prince?"
Gan Enhe said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, and quickly send Sui Wanggui back to the East Palace. If the prince finds out that I didn't send him away and brings him here to watch the fun, I'm afraid I won't have any good fruit to eat."
As soon as the prince was mentioned, Song Xian, who had been trapped half to death, shuddered for a while, recalling Sui Yan's abhorrent deeds, slapped Sui Yan on the back, and said angrily, "It's all your good deeds!"
Suiyan turned around and glared at him: "Why is it that I did a good thing? Be careful with me, and then I will go to the prince to complain, and who will be unlucky between us?"
Song Xian: "You need a face!"
Sui Yan: "No, no!"
The three of them ran on tiptoes to the East Palace with a broken petal on their head. Song Xian was about to run away after watching the play, but Jiang Enhe grabbed him. He was afraid that he would be tired carrying Sui Yan all the way to the East Palace. I was foaming at the mouth, so naturally I had to hire a strong man to be a coolie.
Song Xian desperately broke his hand and was about to run: "I don't carry this bastard, I have to carry it yourself!"
Sui Yan was leaning against the wall, looking back and forth at his slender hands boredly, and murmured casually: "Your Highness, there is a man named Song Xian who pushed me today, oh yes, that's right, it's the top. The one surnamed Song who bullied me last time, this time my forehead is swelled, it hurts me... ah."
Song Xian tucked an arm into Gann He's arms: "Pull me."
Gann and Busy hugged his arms tightly.
Song Xian immediately struggled to breathe fire at Suiyan, and fluttered at Suiyan: "You bastard! Where did I push you? Tell me clearly!"
Gan Enhe desperately hugged his arm: "Brother! Brother! Forget it!"
Sui Yan carefully touched his swollen forehead, hissed and inhaled, and said vaguely, "I said it was you who bumped into it, you see, who does His Royal Highness believe in?"
Song Xian: "Age, forget, return!"
Gan Enhe: "Brother! Brother! It's not worth it! It's not worth it! The life of the dog is important!"
The two cowards who were trying to save the dog's life scolded and worked hard to carry Sui Yan back to the East Palace. The palace servant saw the three stumbled in, and quickly went to pick it up: "Little Marquis, what's the matter? Hey, why is this forehead bleeding?"
Song Xian and Jiang Enhe saw that this person was the palace servant who often followed His Royal Highness's side, and hurriedly went to see Sui Yan, who was in charge of their life and death.
Sui Yan rubbed his head and was supported by someone, frowning and said, "It's okay, I didn't pay attention to the bump, just sprinkle some medicine."
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it is quite a bastard to forget to return at this age, and they can still speak human words and do human affairs at critical times.
The palace servants were busy welcoming people into the side hall.
Song Xian and Gan Enhe originally wanted to withdraw directly, but Nai He was half-tired with Sui Yan, so they planned to go to the side hall to drink tea before leaving.
As soon as Song Xian walked into the side hall, he casually glanced at some scraps in the side hall, barely recognizing that they were all from Suiyan's courtyard before, and suddenly cursed in a low voice.
He leaned over to Sui Yan and said in a low voice, "Did you move the entire Hou Mansion here? I thought you were only here to live for a while, but looking at your posture, you plan to stay here until the New Year's Eve. what."
Sui Yan hummed: "I plan to marry and become a crown princess, do you mind me?"
Song Xian: "..."
Song Xian drank the tea in a huff, turned around and was about to leave, but Sui Yan suddenly stopped him.
Song Xian turned his head and said angrily, "Speak up if you have something to say!"
Sui Yan sat on the chair with his legs crossed, with a fluffy golden bear squatting on his shoulders, his posture was extremely lazy and casual, he said lightly: "Go back and tell the third highness, it is best not to interfere in this matter, otherwise the next one will not be able to do it. Well it's him."
Song Xian's pupils shrank, only then did he understand why the genius doctor in the rivers and lakes was always looking at Duan Mingchong all the time today.
He said with difficulty: "Is there your handwriting in this?"
Sui Yan smiled, winked at him, and said slyly, "What do you think?"
Song Xian tentatively said after a long while, "Is this your idea for the prince?"
Sui Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing: "How can I have such a great ability to control the prince? Do you really think of me as a prince?"
Song Xian was thinking about this question with awe, and almost rolled his eyes with anger at Sui Yan's last words.
He glared at Sui Yan and left the East Palace in a hurry.
When Sui Yan and Song Xian were talking, Gan Enhe had been eating pastries and drinking tea, and he didn't want to spy on the content of other people's conversations, looking like he was heartless.
It wasn't until Song Xian left that he put down the teacup in his hand, turned to Sui Yan sternly, and said, "I have decided to investigate Yin Lingfeng's case for His Royal Highness."
Suiyan smiled and said, "You were still screaming and screaming in fear today by Duan Xichen, why are you so bold all of a sudden?"
Jiang Enhe thought for a while: "I just suddenly felt that I finally entered the Hanlin Academy. If my temper is so timid and inaction, it will not be a big deal sooner or later..."
Sui Yan kindly added for him: "...not to mention that no one has raised you yet."
Gannhe immediately glared at him.
Sui Yan bit his lip and smiled, took a sip of tea, and said, "Okay, then I wish you a successful victory. When the matter is over, I will take you to my mansion to introduce a beauty to you."
Speaking of the beauty, Gan Enhe was immediately discouraged: "No, I just want to see the beauty in the moon. Since she was redeemed and left, I have never been to Wanhualou again, and other beauties can't get into my eyes at all."
Sui Yan sighed, "A lover."
Then I have to let you meet Jun Jingxing.
Gan Enhe stayed in the East Palace for a while, then got up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he stuffed the sachet with half a bag of peanuts into Sui Yan, and said sternly, "I won't bring snacks to Hanlin in the future, that's all. gave it to you."
Sui Yan: "Uh..."
This unfortunate child must not know that the reason why he took up this difficult case was because of the sachet last time.
Gan Enhe glanced at the sachet reluctantly before turning around and hiding his face.
Sui Yan sighed again: "A sin."
After he finished speaking, he took out the peanuts inside and ate them, then threw the sachet into the charcoal basin and quickly burned it into a pool of ashes.
Sui Yan said to himself: "This time, His Highness should not neglect me."
He was complacent, and after a while, Gan Enhe suddenly returned and shouted as soon as he entered the door: "I thought about it again, or give me the sachet, I'll put it on the desk for self-reflection."
Sui Yan: "…"
Gan Enhe blinked and looked at him expectantly: "Where's my sachet?"
Sui Yan tilted his head, pointed to the charcoal basin, and said innocently, "I didn't hold my hand firmly just now and fell into it."
Gannhe: "… "
Gan Enhe was so angry that his eyes darkened, he scolded him for a long time, and his voice was hoarse when he was helped away by the palace servants.
"Don't let me see you again, bastard! Sachet thief!"
Sui Yan was not angry, and it was not painful to be scolded anyway, but the palace servant on the side was thinking: "Little Marquis, this young master Jiang is too rude. He wants me to be with His Royal Highness..."
Sui Yan smiled and said, "No, it's okay, just one child."
The palace man looked at him speechlessly, thinking that you are a few months younger than others, and you even said that others are children.
Duanxichen's addiction to medicine incense caused a lot of trouble in the city.
Duan Ruwang led the order to the fifth prince's bedroom. As soon as he saw the scene in front of him, he probably knew what was going on. He glanced at the shivering genius doctor, and then looked at Duan Mingchong, who was indifferent to the side, and chuckled lightly. He didn't make any excuses, he just accepted it without changing his face.
The emperor was so angry that his chest heaved violently: "You... what are you doing? Xichen is your brother, you... you are... "
Duan Ruwang smiled and said: "Father, I am also thinking about the health of the Fifth Emperor's younger brother. You also heard that the genius doctor said that if we delay a little longer, Xichen may die of exhaustion."
The emperor didn't know what he was thinking about. He was so angry that he was blinded. Fearing that he had done irreparable remorse, he ordered Duan Ruwang to be placed under house arrest in the second prince's palace, and the crime would be discussed later.
The emperor staggered and was helped to leave.
Duan Ruwang stood on the spot, staring at Duan Mingchong for a while, and then suddenly burst into laughter, he gently cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness is really a good trick."
Duan Mingchong was looking at the window lattice on the side, and looked at him suspiciously when he heard the words: "Why did the second emperor say this?"
Duan Ruwang looked at his dazed appearance, and laughed even more. He lost extremely gracefully, and saluted Duan Mingchong with a smile. He didn't say a word of nonsense, and turned around and was taken away.
After Duan Ruwang left, the doubts on Duan Mingchong's face slowly disappeared. He stared at the petals that fell on the window lattice unintentionally. It's a great grace, you leave the prescription, and the matter is settled, I will send someone to send you out of the palace."
Kneeling on the ground all the time, the seemingly forgotten genius doctor Qian kowtowed again and said in a trembling voice, "Yes."
Trembling, he took the prescription out of his arms and handed it to the waiting doctor Meng Yu.
Yuyi Meng spread a glance and nodded slightly towards Duan Mingchong.
Duan Mingchong casually raised his hand and waved, and the two saluted and retired.
In the East Palace, Sui Yan was in a good mood basking in the sun on the rocking chair. The rabbits and golden bears in his arms were jumping around him. The palace servants who were serving were afraid of touching the wound that Sui Yan had just sprayed with medicine, so he bowed and persuaded: "Little Marquis, the sun is about to set, you should go back to the dormitory and rest. His Royal Highness should be back soon."
Sui Yan didn't sleep much, so he straightened up and said, "Have the begonias I moved from the Imperial Garden in bloom?"
The palace servant hurriedly said: "It's open, it's in the backyard."
Sui Yan thought about it as soon as it came out: "Then I'll go take a look."
He rested for an afternoon, and his legs were much better. He refused the help of the palace servants and walked to the backyard alone.
Spring has begun, and the begonias that have been moved over are in full bloom, and the fragrance is diffused, making people feel pity.
Sui Yan smashed the flowers with hot hands, broke a branch and turned it gently between his fingers, shaking the water droplets on it.
He was staring at the flower branch in his hand with joy, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps.
As soon as Sui Yan turned around, he saw Duan Mingchong who was hurriedly approaching.
Sui Yan Yixi: "The hall..."
Before he could finish speaking, Duan Mingchong strode over and hugged him.
Sui Yan: "…"
Sui Yan froze all over, the flower branch in his hand suddenly trembled and fell straight to the ground.
Sui Yan inhaled softly and said with difficulty, "Your Highness?"
Duan Mingchong seemed to have just returned from the fifth prince's dormitory, and there was still the strange medicinal fragrance left on his body, and his arm holding Sui Yan was trembling slightly.
Only then did Suiyan realize that something was wrong. He tentatively stretched out his arms and hugged Duan Mingchong's back, and whispered, "Your Highness, what happened?"
Duan Mingchong hugged Sui Yan's body full of medicinal and floral fragrance, panting rapidly, before muttering for a long time, "If I don't do it, they will kill me... and you."
Sui Yan was stunned.
Duan Mingchong buried his head in Suiyan's neck, and said in a hoarse voice, "I've given in step by step for so many years, but I just don't want to kill with their brothers. Why... they think I'm weak and can be bullied, and they force me to be so tight?"
Suiyan's heart felt sour, and it became a habit for him to rely on Duan Mingchong on weekdays, and he almost forgot that he was only a fifteen-year-old boy.
He has read so many sage books, and the Emperor Taifu has taught him so many ways of governing the country and self-cultivation, but no one has ever told him how to react when he is assassinated by his own brother.
Everyone in the palace has a weird mind. No one can trust him. He can only grope step by step and find a way to get the best of both worlds. He can not only survive, but also like the emperor taught him to be gentle, respectful, humble, and respectful to brothers and sisters. , to be a generation of Ming Jun.
Later, when a glass of poisonous wine was poured, he failed.
If the cup of stigma was drunk by him, Duan Mingchong might not have been so resolute and cruel. Sui Yan, who was poisoned and weak, was the last straw that broke his gentle mask.
Suiyan suddenly felt a little distressed, and he began to regret that he should not be so rude to force Duan Mingchong to understand the organization's calculation and strategize overnight, and to cast away his conscience like him, but when he heard Duan Mingchong say these words, he He began to secretly rejoice that Duan Ming Chong could see the real faces of his brothers earlier, so he didn't have to die in the end.
He gently wrapped around Duan Mingchong's back and said softly, "Your Highness did nothing wrong, you just want to protect yourself, that's good."
Duan Mingchong did not speak.
Sui Yan said softly: "Every life is not easy, they want to harm you, do you still have to wait for the slaughter? Besides, you are just returning what they did, it is not a brother-in-law cannibalism. It's just that they're cocooning themselves, doing their own thing."
Duan Mingchong still didn't speak.
The two quietly hugged each other for a while, and Duan Mingchong, who had completely eased over, gently let go of Sui Yan, bowed his head slightly, and his eyes and ears were a little red.
"A, Ayan..."
It was the first time for Duan Mingchong to show softness to others, and after cleaning up his emotions, he felt a little embarrassed, and he lowered his eyes and did not dare to look at Sui Yan.
Sui Yan bent down and picked up the Begonia branch on the ground, smiled and said, "His Royal Highness always looked mature and steady before, I almost forgot that you are younger than me."
Duan Ming Chong's ears turned even redder.
Duan Mingchong carefully recalled the look just now, and suddenly found it quite hypocritical.
Duan Mingchong thought to himself, since everything has been done, don't be so weak and careless, opening the bow without turning back the arrow.
This is the first time that Duan Mingchong has secretly plotted with his own brother, and he has two tricks together. Originally, he didn't feel too uncomfortable - when he knew that Sui Yan's body was hurt like this by them, Duan Mingchong I have made up my mind to stop being indecisive.
It was just when he returned to the East Palace and caught a glimpse of the young man with a long body standing among the begonia flowers, his heart that had been forcibly made cold in a short time suddenly softened, and the boundless grievances and sourness flooded the sky, making him unable to control himself. He hugged the young man who was laughing at Yan Yan under the sunset.
It seems that only by hugging him can you know the warmth of the sun.
Duan Mingchong thought to himself, "I must protect him well."
After tossing for so long, the sky darkened, and the two returned to the side hall side by side.
Sui Yanji hangs the sweet soup promised by Duan Ming Chong in the daytime. After washing his hands, he sits and waits at the table, with both hands on the edge of the table, like a golden bear waiting to be fed. consciously swaying from side to side.
Soon, dinner was brought up one by one.
Sui Yan glanced in anticipation, and his face suddenly turned green - the whole table was full of unpalatable medicinal meals, and there was a bowl of black-boiled medicine in front of him.
Sui Yan's gaze followed the palace servants who were preparing the dishes, until everyone filed out, and there was still no sweet soup on the table.
Sui Yan stomped his feet anxiously. He wanted to ask and felt embarrassed, so he had to wait.
Soon, Duanming Chongjing walked into the side hall with his hands and saw his eyes full of expectation, and asked in doubt, "Why don't you eat? Are you waiting for me?"
Sui Yan couldn't say that he was waiting for sweet soup, so he nodded.
Duan Mingchong smiled, anyway, as long as he saw Sui Yan, no matter how bad his mood was, he would instantly become soft and happy.
He put the dry towel in his hand aside, walked over and sat opposite Sui Yan, and said, "I'm here, eat quickly."
Sui Yan was so anxious that he was holding the medicine bowl in his hand and refused to take a sip.
What Suiyan eats every meal, Duan Mingchong eats with him, that kind of medicated meal that is unpalatable to Suiyan, but Duan Mingchong eats it but doesn't change his face.
He wondered: "Ayan, what's wrong with you?"
Sui Yan put down the medicine bowl, pushed it forward, and whispered, "Your Highness, is there something missing from tonight's meal?"
Duan Mingchong looked at it and said, "No less."
Suiyan hinted that Duan Mingchong didn't respond for a long time. He gritted his teeth and said, "His Royal Highness said at noon... sweet soup..."
Duan Mingchong thought about it carefully, "Oh", and said with a gentle smile, "Then how did I say it at the time?"
Sui Yan hurriedly repeated: "'We can still have sweet soup at night', what His Highness said, I remembered a word correctly!"
Duan Mingchong smiled: "What else?"
Sui Yan was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Duan Mingchong's half-smile eyes, his body froze.
"Be good, we can still have sweet soup at night, or else..."
There was no sweet soup at night, which means that Duan Mingchong knew about his sneaking to the Fifth Prince's Palace.
Sui Yan suddenly lowered his head in a guilty conscience.
Duan Mingchong said, "What else did I say? Do you remember?"
Sui Yan lowered his head and fiddled with the sachet around his waist, mumbling something vaguely in his mouth.
Duan Mingchong: "Huh?"
Sui Yan looked up at him cautiously, and whispered, "You... You still praise me for being nice."
Duan Mingchong: "…"
