Duan Ming Chong raised his knuckles and tapped lightly on the table.
Sui Yan lowered his head in a guilty conscience: "I... I just want to go and have a look, I haven't done anything else."
Duan Mingchong smiled and said, "Eat first."
Sui Yan didn't dare to ask for sweet soup again, so he took a small sip from the bowl and drank it.
Duan Mingchong quickly put down his chopsticks and looked at Sui Yan who was still taking small sips of medicine, and said helplessly, "Why are you still wronged?"
Sui Yan shook his head: "I don't."
Duan Mingchong stared at him for a while, and suddenly said, "Your health has improved a lot. In a few days, I will send someone to take you back to the Hou residence."
Sui Yan choked, put down the bowl, and looked at him in surprise.
Duan Mingchong lowered his eyes slightly.
Sui Yan said: "I... I just went to watch a lively event. Your Highness doesn't need to be so angry, just drive me away. I won't drink sweet soup after it's a big deal."
Duan Mingchong laughed angrily: "Where did I say I want to drive you away? What are you thinking about all day long?"
Sui Yan let out an "oh" and said in a muffled voice, "Then Your Highness said..."
"This time, the fifth prince made a rude remark in front of Jiang Enhe. His Majesty saw it, and naturally he wanted to do something." Duan Mingchong smiled and said, "Although your words today are not the same. I know how much of it is true, but in order to stop the rumors in Beijing, Your Majesty may let you take the title earlier this time."
Sui Yan was stunned for a moment: "Xijue..."
The old marquis fought and fought with his two sons, who were both civil and military, fighting for the city of Beilan. Only the youngest son was regarded as a proton and stayed in the capital as a proton. The capital was humiliated by others, so he disregarded the dissuasion of others and gave the title to Suiyan.
Fortunately, Suiyan's two brothers didn't care about the title, and the emperor turned a blind eye and didn't ask. Only he bullied others.
Duan Mingchong nodded: "I was still worried about my father's cutback, but now it seems that it is unnecessary."
Sui Yan took a sip of the medicine absentmindedly, and then whispered, "I... I haven't asked my second brother, can I wait until the New Year?"
Duan Mingchong: "This kind of thing has a lot of dreams at night. Naturally, Your Majesty will not wait. When the time comes, can you still refuse?"
Sui Yan had no choice but to bow his head and muttered that he was.
Duan Ming Chong said: "Don't think too much, I am there for everything."
Sui Yan glanced at him and nodded.
Duan Ming Chong's prediction was correct. Within three days, the news of the emperor's decree ordering Suiyan to take the rank of Sui Anhou spread to the East Palace. In the eyes of others, this was a great gift from heaven, but Suiyan couldn't be happy.
No reason for him...
"I live well in the East Palace. Someone is protecting me and someone is raising it. Why should I move back to the Hou's Mansion after a decree?"
Sui Yan hugged a rabbit, sat on a rocking chair in the side hall to bask in the sun, nodding the golden bear's head in dissatisfaction and muttering to himself.
The palace staff in the entire East Palace were all helping him pack up the things he had brought back to the Hou Mansion.
The golden bear was caught by his tail and couldn't run, and could only squeak at him.
Sui Yan was addicted to talking to himself, poked Jinsi Xiong's little head again and again, and said dissatisfiedly: "The title of Xiaohou Ye is quite good, it looks so young, I need to remove this small character, others don't know. Thought I was a bearded old stubborn like my father."
The golden bear couldn't break free, and stretched out his paws to scratch him.
No matter how reluctant Sui Yan was, three days later, Duan Mingchong sent him back to the Marquis of Sui An's mansion, and even took what he had and pulled several carriages back.
As soon as Xi Jue's decree came, the whole mansion was very lively. When they heard Sui Yan's return, they all came out to greet him.
Sui Yan helped Duan Mingchong to jump off the carriage, and the servants at the door hurriedly stepped down and saluted respectfully: "I have seen His Royal Highness Prince and Marquis."
Sui Yan hugged the rabbit without speaking, Duan Ming Chong said: "Get up, move all these things back to the backyard of Marquis, be careful not to fall."
"Yes."
Everyone filed out, bit by bit, moved Sui Yan's bits and pieces into Hou's mansion.
Sui Yan and Duan Mingchong went to the side courtyard together, and Jun Jingxing was holding a rabbit under the tree to feed the grass.
Suiyan's yard planted a first-beauty cherry tree, which was full of broken red trees shortly after the beginning of spring.
When Jun Jingxing saw the two coming together, he was taken aback and hurriedly got up and saluted.
Sui Yan waved his hand and said, "His Royal Highness wants to have lunch at the Hou's mansion today, don't ask the kitchen to make a medicinal meal—hey, Your Highness, right?"
Duan Mingchong: "…"
Duan Ming Chong didn't plan to stay in the Hou Mansion for dinner, but since Sui Yan said so, he didn't want to show his good intentions, so he nodded with a smile.
Jun Jingxing glanced at Sui Yan, and at a glance he saw through his little abacus that he was afraid that he would endure the bitter medicine and hurt him. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart, but his expression was respectful, and he bowed and retired.
Suiyan was about to take Duan Mingchong to sit in his room for a while, when Haitang suddenly hurried in, saying that the emperor's reward had arrived, and Suiyan was going to receive the decree to thank him.
Sui Yan was immediately dissatisfied, but he had to go, so he told Duan Mingchong and went to the front yard wrapped in a cloak.
Duan Mingchong glanced casually in Sui Yan's bedroom. The bookshelves on the bookshelf were full of gadgets from the market, and it seemed that he was really good at playing.
He was turning over a playbook on the bookcase when someone knocked on the door.
Duan Mingchong thought Sui Yan was back, but when he looked back, Jun Jingxing was standing by the door with a slight nod.
Duan Mingchong closed the book in his hand and said lightly, "What's the matter?"
Jun Jingxing lowered his head and said respectfully, "Old Qian has left the city and returned to Jiangnan yesterday, thank you, Your Highness."
Duan Mingchong smiled, put the book on the desk, and said, "Everyone takes what they need."
Jun Jingxing hesitated for a while before saying: "Originally, Lao Qian and I had already saved our minds to die, and we drugged the prince to make him addicted, and it would be very difficult to get out of the body, if it weren't for your highness..."
Duan Mingchong did not take credit and said, "That old Qian, who are you?"
Jun Jingxing said: "When the Yin family was still in the south of the Yangtze River, he was my enlightenment teacher. At that time, my father was busy all the year round, and most of my medical skills were taught by Qian Lao."
Duan Mingchong nodded: "Yes."
Jun Jingxing saw that Duan Mingchong didn't seem to want to talk much, he bowed respectfully, then turned and left.
Not long after, Sui Yan ran back from the front yard, breaking a peach blossom in his hand, and as soon as he came in, he stuffed the flower into Duan Ming Chong's arms.
Duan Mingchong reluctantly took it.
As he got closer, Sui Yan moved his nose slightly and said, "Jing Xing has been here before?"
Duan Mingchong: "Huh? How do you know?"
Suiyan said: "The smell of medicine on his body is extremely special. As long as he stays with him for a while, there will definitely be a little smell of medicine left on that person's body, and I can smell it as soon as I smell it."
Duan Mingchong looked at Sui Yan thoughtfully.
At that time, when he was outside the East Palace, when he sent someone to invite Jun Jingxing away, he chose to discuss matters in the Imperial Garden in order to hide people's eyes and ears. When he returned, Sui Yan's face seemed to be a little strange. Now that I think about it, it turned out that it was him He knew that he had met Jun Jingxing.
Sui Yan didn't notice it, and tugged at his sleeve: "His Royal Highness, let's go out for a walk, I haven't taken you around the Hou's mansion yet."
Duan Mingchong was helpless and had no choice but to say, "Okay."
Sui Yan happily dragged him away.
The two walked around the Hou Mansion and had lunch together, and then Duan Mingchong got up and left the Hou Mansion.
Although Sui Yan was reluctant to part with it, he was not good at playing with his temper at this time, so he reluctantly sent him away.
After Donggong's sedan left, Sui Yan stood at the door for a while, and Jun Jingxing said quietly by the side: "It's almost done, it's not parting from life or death."
Sui Yan turned to look at him resentfully: "You sleep with me tonight."
Jun Jingxing was unhappy and said, "Why? Are you not feeling much better now? Do you still need me to serve you at night?"
Suiyan said: "No, I'm cramping right now. I can't stand the cramps in my calf at night. You can help me stretch and rub my leg when the time comes."
Jun Jingxing: "… "
Jun Jingxing said angrily, "Let Haitang help you, I won't serve you anymore."
He turned around and left, Sui Yan was busy chasing after him, chattering: "You know that when I was in the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince helped me rub my legs and tendons, and I felt bad when I bumped into him, what are you doing? That's it? You said before that my waist is soft and thin, and I can't stop touching it. Why don't you want to rub my legs now? My legs are thinner and longer... Hey! See you Junyue, are you there? Listen to me?!"
Jun Jingxing still said, "Look for Haitang."
"You are Lang Zhong, it must be more comfortable to rub the acupoints. I don't want Haitang, he is clumsy."
Haitang, who was passing by carrying the flowerpot, burst into tears when she heard this, and tried her best to show her loyalty: "Master! Young Master Haitang is not stupid! He is not clumsy at all!"
Sui Yan glanced at him.
Haitang stumbled on the ground, and the flowerpot in her hand fell to the ground with a bang, shattering into a pile.
Sui Yan: "…"
Jun Jingxing: "… "
Jun Jingxing stopped and said thoughtfully, "I'll rub it for you at night."
If this child who is neither light nor heavy, rubs, Sui Yan may cry out to the sky, making himself so noisy that he can't sleep well.
Sui Yan hurriedly nodded happily.
After dinner, Sui Yan got into the quilt after taking a bath, waited for a long time, and Jun Jingxing didn't wait for a long time. Instead, he fell asleep in a daze.
Outside the Hou residence, Jun Jingxing carried the lamp and walked to the empty alley to stop and wait. After a while, a small figure climbed over the wall and landed, saying crisply, "Hey, Monarch Gu!"
Jun Jingxing raised the lamp high, revealing the dirty face like a cat.
Xianyi smiled and said, "Are you here to check out?"
Jun Jingxing nodded and took out a stack of silver notes from his arms.
Xianyi: "Huh, why are there so many this time?"
Jun Jingxing said: "You deserve to be allowed to pretend to be old granddaughter Qian and risk yourself to stay in the Second Prince's Mansion for so long."
Xianyi said with a smile: "Actually, it's pretty good in the Second Prince's Mansion. There are people to eat and drink, and I really want to stay for a while."
It's a pity that Duan Ruwang wanted to send someone to kill her after she came back to her senses, so she had to run away all the way - to be able to escape from the Second Prince's Mansion, this girl is quite capable.
Xian Ye took a few silver notes and waved his hand: "It doesn't need to be so much, anyway, I also have a grudge with Duan Xichen, it's mutual benefit, I have to thank you for the opportunity to let me personally stab him to avenge my brother. ."
Jun Jingxing smiled.
After the two of them talked, Xianye seemed to have thought of something, and took out a letter from his arms, saying: "This is sent from Jiangnan, it is probably due to the severe snow disaster, and there are too many letterheads piled up at the station, so I turned it over for a long time. Found it, you see."
Jun Jingxing glanced at it and was suddenly stunned.
This is a special white letterhead.
is an obituary.
Jun Jingxing frowned, he swung the crumpled letter apart and glanced at the contents above, and the cold sweat broke down instantly.
Xianyi saw his shocked expression, and said in surprise: "What's wrong?"
Jun Jingxing's pupils shrank sharply and murmured, "Old Qian...'s obituary..."
Xianye was shocked: "What? Wasn't it fine when he left yesterday? Why did he die suddenly? Could it be that the prince felt unsafe, so he sent someone to cut the grass and remove the roots?"
Jun Jingxing's lips trembled slightly, he said with difficulty, "It wasn't yesterday, it was..."
He took a deep breath: "It was the third day of December last year."
He was stunned for a moment.
Houfu side courtyard.
After Sui Yan fell asleep for a while, his legs began to cramp like crazy, waking him up alive with pain.
He tossed and turned on the bed for a long time, gasping for breath in pain, and said sadly, "Jun Jingxing... See you at Yue! Are you there?"
The pain of leg cramps can be serious or serious, neither serious nor serious. For Sui Yan, who is so pampered, it is so painful that he can't wait to grab the ground with his head and knock himself out.
He wailed for Huiyuejian, wondering if he was confused by the pain, and began to mutter Duan Mingchong's name, his face covered in cold sweat.
Just when he almost fainted from the pain, a black figure suddenly fell from the roof beam, kneeling on one knee on the ground, unable to see his face.
"Little master."
Sui Yan looked up at him dazedly, caught a glimpse of his face in a trance, and wailed, "Wow, you're back, my leg hurts."
The dark guard, who was called Unwilling, hesitated for a while before stepping forward and awkwardly rubbing Sui Yan's legs.
The old marquis left Suiyan with many secret guards, and he talked with Wuxuan a lot on weekdays. The other people, Suiyan, just had a quick face-to-face meeting and didn't know much about it, not to mention this Wuyuan was arrested years ago. He was sent out to do business, and it was only half a year after he left, and now he finally came back.
Sui Yan felt much better after being gently rubbed on his legs for a while. He took a pillow behind his back and looked at Wuyuan, who was standing with his head down, with sweat on his face, and said, "Where have you been all this time?"
Unwanted's face was plain and unremarkable, and it looked a little stiff. I don't know if it was because of Yi Rong, but he answered in a straight-forward manner: "Yi Rong, acting."
Sui Yan frowned: "A little more detail?"
WuWan was not very good at speaking, and after holding it for a long time, he said: "At the order of the little master, I will help the young master."
Sui Yan tilted his head: "What else?"
Wuyuan held back for a long time, her eyes were red, but she couldn't say a word.
Sui Yan hurriedly said: "Come on, I probably already know it anyway. If you don't want to say it, don't say it. Why are you crying?"
Reluctantly shook his head.
His eyes reddened instinctively when he spoke nervously, but he didn't want to cry.
Sui Yan said in his heart, "Oh, it's so cute."
Although Sui Yan said that he didn't want to interfere with Jun Jingxing's affairs, his desire to control the whole situation in his last life still made him unable to restrain him and sent a secret guard to help him secretly. The second is that he is worried that Jun Jingxing will not be able to speak to him if he encounters an embarrassing matter.
After Jun Jingxing arrived at Hou's mansion, Wuyuan followed him secretly, but just following him, he neither interfered in Jun Jingxing's affairs, nor would he go to Suiyan to report anything Jun Jingxing did, unless Suiyan did. He asked on a whim - but since Sui Yan let Jun Jingxing go to take revenge, he almost never asked him about it.
What Jun Jingxing did in the past few months, Sui Yan only knew a little bit by his own guesswork, and the rest was left to Jun Jingxing and Duan Mingchong to stir up trouble in the undercurrent of the court, turning the river upside down. .
Sui Yan sighed and said to himself, "Anyway, the matter is over, I'm too lazy to ask any more."
Wuwan seemed extremely uneasy beside him, and kept his head down and kept stirring his hands.
Sui Yan waved his hand and motioned for him to go down.
He was relieved and turned to leave.
Sui Yan closed his eyes for a while and slept for a while, when he heard the sound of the door being pushed open in a daze, he opened his eyes and caught a glimpse of Jun Jingxing walking towards him slowly.
Soon, the strange medicinal fragrance of Jun Jingxing spread around Sui Yan.
Sui Yan stretched out his hand to pull on his sleeve in a daze: "See you in the moon..."
Jun Jingxing leaned over slightly to wipe off the cold sweat from Sui Yan's forehead, and said softly, "Go to sleep."
Sui Yan held on to the last trace of clarity and murmured aggrievedly: "My leg hurts so much, I... If I don't grow to eight feet tall, this crime will be for nothing... "
Jun Jingxing smiled helplessly: "Go to sleep, there is everything in your dreams."
Sui Yan: "…"
Sui Yan couldn't support himself and jumped up and beat him, closed his eyes for a while, and then fell asleep.
Jun Jingxing sat on the edge of the couch, staring at Sui Yan's beautiful sleeping face, and sighed faintly for a long time.
The cherry trees outside the window bloom at night, with a faint fragrance.
Between the moon yarn and the branches, the stars and rivers fall into the sky.
