After that, Sui Xun changed his usual practice of staying at home and practicing swordsmanship, and ran out after returning home. According to Hou's family general, Sui Xun would go to Jiangfu every day, and take Jiangning to run around and play. of joy.
However, Sui Yan is the opposite of Sui Xun. These days, he no longer goes out and runs around. He stays at home all day, either sleeping or basking in the sun in the yard. He rarely even goes to the East Palace.
Jun Jingxing brought some more medicinal herbs from the Yin residence, and made medicines in the yard when he had nothing to do.
Sui Yan was sitting on the rattan rocking chair, holding a small hand stove and looking at Jun Jingxing, and lightly tapped the ground with his toes, and said, "See you in the moon."
Jun Jingxing didn't raise his head: "Huh?"
Suiyan said, "I want to eat snacks."
Jun Jingxing said: "Endure."
Sui Yan tapped his toes again, and was about to get up to get it himself, when Jun Jingxing said lightly, "Don't get off that rattan rocking chair."
Sui Yan had to withdraw his feet aggrieved.
Every time Jun Jingxing basked in the sun in the yard, when Sui Yan was basking in the sun, he was afraid that his cat-like ancestor would touch his hoofs and claws and overturn the herbs he had finally picked.
Since the medicine basket was knocked over two or three times, Jun Jingxing said with a gloomy face that the same-year-old Yan was not allowed to get off the chair every time he was basking in the sun, and Jun Jingxing promised him that he would not need to stick needles during treatment.
With such a quid pro quo, Sui Yancai was finally willing to sleep on the rattan rocking chair obediently, and stopped kicking and kicking.
Jun Jingxing continued to research medicine.
Sui Yan swayed on the rattan rocking chair for a while, and seemed to be bored. He leaned on the armrest and said lazily towards Jun Jingxing, "Why are you developing some messy medicines every day, it seems useless to look at. "
Jun Jingxing choked on the powder, turned his head and sneezed, and said without raising his head, "It's useless to look at it, just eat it and it's useful."
Suiyan was given medicine every day, and he got used to it over time. He tilted his head: "Then how long do I have to take it?"
Jun Jingxing said: "Which day will you live until you will eat?"
Sui Yan: "…"
Sui Yan faintly said: "I feel that my body is scented with medicine now, soaking in the tub for a while, I feel that the water smells like medicine, Doctor Monarch, I want to ask you, are you planning to feed me into a medicine man? Is it? The kind that blood can cure all diseases?"
Jun Jing Xing frowned: "What is all this mess, what strange script did you read?"
Sui Yan flipped out his clothes and read half of the book, and said, "Well, this is an ancient bizarre record, used to pass the time and help sleep."
Jun Jingxing said: "What are you talking about?"
Sui Yan flipped through the pages: "What gods and Buddhas, reincarnation, ghosts and other things, and so on, do you want to hear it, I'll read it to you?"
Jun Jingxing hurriedly said: "No need for Hou Ye, please spare my ears."
Suiyan said: "This is really interesting, but some of it seems to be too much of a fabrication."
Jun Jingxing: "For example?"
Sui Yan turned a page, pointed to a few lines and leaned over to show him: "For example, this - it says that people, no matter good or bad, black and white, as long as they die, they will be thrown into reincarnation. Suffering is unknown."
Jun Jingxing: "So?"
Sui Yan patted the book and hated: "This is not right at all, any reincarnation is to deceive children."
Jun Jingxing said speechlessly: "It makes sense, and you have never died, how do you know this is a lie."
Sui Yan glared at him.
After Jun Jingxing finished speaking, he realized that he was so bored that he was wasting his time by talking about this kind of mess with Suiyan, he said angrily, "If you don't believe it, don't read this plain made up book, you want to sleep. I will give you a few medical books, and you will surely sleep until you wake up naturally after reading a few pages."
Sui Yan: "…"
Jun Jingxing said again, "Didn't you want to run to the East Palace as soon as you had time before? How can you be good now? Don't even mention Duan Mingchong's name?"
Jun Jingxing is really good at which pot can not be opened and lifted.
Suiyan has been worrying about Duan Mingchong, and when he heard the words, he threw the book directly, and said angrily, "Go ahead and make your medicine."
He lay back on the rattan rocking chair, pulled the blanket over him, closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.
Suiyan has rarely had nightmares over the years, but this time it was just a nap, and he had nightmares for some reason.
"The emperor will live soon, won't you do it? When Duan Ruwang died in Xiangguo Temple, someone saw it regularly. Rao is now dying, and he won't let you go."
"Sui Yan, Sui Yan! Are you still alive?"
"Do you still... want to live?"
"The third prince... has already returned to Beijing from Canglin Temple, can you... can you wait?"
"… "
There was an endless stream of mixed voices from all around, making Sui Yan's head hurt, he pressed his forehead with difficulty, and murmured, "His Royal Highness..."
A warm hand stretched out and gently pressed his forehead.
Sui Yan opened his eyes with difficulty, and looked at the shadowy face in front of him in a daze.
"Your Highness..."
The man's voice seemed to be covered in fog, and he couldn't hear it very clearly: "Ayan, what do you think?"
Sui Yan wanted to raise his hand to grab him, but his hand seemed to be heavy, and he couldn't lift it no matter what.
He became more and more anxious, and the circles of his eyes were reddish.
Duan Mingchong probably saw his urgency, and hurriedly grabbed his hand and held it in his warm palm.
Sui Yan seemed to be a little confused, he half-closed his eyes and shook his head desperately, and said in a hoarse voice, "I can't wait... I can't wait!"
Duan Ming Chong hurriedly grabbed his hands and coaxed softly, "I'm here, I'm here, Ayan, wake up."
Sui Yan suddenly threw Duan Mingchong's hand away, struggling to crawl to the edge of the bed.
He didn't hold one of his hands, and rolled down from the couch, and was quickly picked up by Duan Ming Chong, who was beside him.
The two rolled into a ball and fell to the ground.
Sui Yan fluttered to the point where he lost his strength, and lay on Duan Ming Chong's shoulders with sweat all over his face, his long hair hanging down on the side of his face, making his face even paler.
Sui Yan was somewhat disrespectful, he pressed Duan Mingchong's chest with trembling hands, and said in a trembling voice, "Gods and Buddhas deal with those who commit suicide..."
"Will there be a big penalty?"
"Will... not enter reincarnation?"
"Will I become a lonely... a lonely ghost?"
"Yue Jian..." Sui Yan murmured in a low voice, "Did you bury me in the Sui family's ancestral grave? I think my parents... "
Duan Mingchong didn't quite hear what he was talking about, but seeing that his current situation was not right at all, he hurriedly hugged his waist and dragged him halfway onto the couch.
At this time, Jun Jingxing, who had arrived late, rushed in with a small incense burner that was lit, and white smoke curled up like ink marks in water.
While holding Sui Yan and trapping him in his arms, Duan Mingchong raised his head to look at Jun Jingxing and said with a frown, "What kind of fragrance is that?"
Jun Jingxing said: "Soothing the gods, it's very useful - he was caught in a dream, it will be fine in a while."
Only then did Duan Mingchong feel relieved.
Sui Yan leaned against his heart, clutching Duan Mingchong's clothes tightly with his hands, his knuckles turning white, and his clothes were wrinkled.
Duan Mingchong patted Sui Yan's back lightly and coaxed him in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm with you."
Sui Yan leaned limply against Duan Ming Chong's arms, and after a while the soothing incense took effect, and he fell asleep drowsily.
Jun Jingxing knew Sui Yan's thoughts on Duan Mingchong, so he didn't stay here any longer and got up to leave.
Sui Yan slept on one foot until it was dark before he woke up groggy. Nightmares were always draining his energy. He slept for a long time, but he was even more tired.
He rubbed his eyes and sat up on his elbows, and said shyly, "Yue Jian, I'm so thirsty."
There was a rustling sound next to him, and a voice said softly: "The water is coming, drink it slowly."
Before Suiyan was fully awake, he was fed half a glass of water in a daze, before barely opening his eyes.
Duan Mingchong looked at him with a smile: "Awake?"
Suiyan blinked his eyes, reacted for a moment, and then came back to his senses. He leaned back in astonishment, the back of his head almost hit the wall, and Duan Ming Chong quickly stretched out his hand to cushion it.
Sui Yan hugged the quilt and shrank back, stammering: "His Royal Highness, you... why are you here?"
Duan Mingchong: "Are you still thirsty?"
Sui Yan didn't dare to let Duan Mingchong serve him personally, so he shook his head desperately.
Duan Mingchong put down the cup, and then said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and I thought you were sick again, so I thought of coming to the Hou's Mansion to see you. The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and I brought some palaces along the way. I'll give you a taste of the imperial products from here."
Sui Yan nodded, and only then did she realize that she was covered in sweat, and even her coat was a little wet.
Sui Yan loves Jie the most, frowning and pulling on his sleeves.
Duan Ming Chong said, "Want to take a bath?"
Sui Yan nodded, he glanced out, frowned and said, "It's already dark?"
Duan Mingchong said: "Yes, you have slept for a long time, and you have been holding my clothes tightly."
Sui Yan said: "Then... that His Highness sat here for a long time?"
Duan Mingchong smiled and said, "Naturally."
Sui Yan can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get in.
Duan Mingchong didn't tease him, and said, "I originally wanted to come and see you and leave, but when I first came, I saw that you were caught in a nightmare, so I stayed with you for a while."
Instead, Sui Yan felt a little embarrassed. He straightened his messy hair and said, "That's it."
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Haitang said from outside the door, "Master, Doctor Jun ordered us to boil hot water. Are you ready to take a bath?"
Sui Yan hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll go right away."
There was a reply from Haitang outside the door, and there was no sound.
Duan Mingchong got up and said, "Then I'll go first."
Suiyan didn't know what to think, suddenly grabbed Duan Mingchong's sleeve, raised his head and blinked at him: "His Royal Highness..."
Duan Mingchong wondered: "Huh?"
Sui Yan hesitated for a long time before he hesitated for a long time before he said: "Gong Jin... Has it arrived already?"
Duan Mingchong: "…"
Duan Mingchong looked at him helplessly. If he remembered correctly, at the Lantern Festival three years ago, Sui Yan planned to keep him in the Hou Mansion for one night for this reason.
It was just that Duan Xichen suddenly had an accident at that time, and the stay in the Hou Mansion was naturally over, but Sui Yan still remembered it now.
Duan Mingchong held back a smile and said, "Yes, can the Hou Ye let me stay in the mansion for one night?"
Sui Yan's eyes lit up, and nodded his head like garlic: "Stay, stay, stay!"
Duan Mingchong leaned down, flicked his forehead with his fingers, and smiled softly: "Go take a bath, I'll go and talk to General Sui first."
Sui Yan hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out to take a bath.
The tub in the next room was blocked by a screen. Sui Yan took off his clothes and turned around the screen, and saw the tub full of herbs.
Sui Yan hurriedly wrapped his clothes and shouted towards the door, "Baitang! Haitang!"
The door was pushed open, Jun Jingxing walked in with a small packet of herbal medicine in his hand, and said lightly, "What are you looking for?"
Sui Yan tugged at the cloak with one hand and pointed at the screen with the other, and said anxiously, "Why is that wooden barrel full of herbs, so how should I take a bath? Isn't it twenty-one today, why do I still need a medicinal bath?"
Jun Jing Xing did not speak, instead he threw the herbs in his hand into the hot water.
Sui Yan hurried to stop: "Hello!"
Only then did Jun Jingxing turn his head and said indifferently, "Did you know that when you came back from the East Palace a few days ago, you had other poisonous incense on your body?"
Sui Yan was stunned: "Huh?"
Jun Jingxing said: "Although there is not much, it is not harmful to ordinary people, but your body is inherently weak, and the stigma and poison have not been eliminated, even a little poisonous incense can kill you, fortunately you did not stay in the East Palace for too long. , or else…”
Suiyan recalled that when he went to the East Palace last time, he seemed to have heard someone say that Duan Ruwang sent the southern border woman to the East Palace, and when he went, the woman had already left.
It was probably at that time that the poisonous incense on Princess Nanjiang's body lingered in the East Palace for a long time, and it stained a little on him.
Sui Yan was a little scared. In the last life, he was face to face with that Southern Border Princess for a while and nearly died. He didn't expect that he was almost planted in her hands this time.
Suiyan said: "Fortunately, she is dead now."
Jun Jingxing didn't hear clearly: "Who died?"
Suiyan: "Just the princess in the southern border, have you heard of it? It's so beautiful. If you are still in Wanhualou, maybe the title of the first beauty will be handed over to others."
Jun Jingxing: "… "
The corners of Jun Jingxing's lips twitched: "I didn't want this title, and who did you hear that the Princess of Southern Border was dead? Isn't she still fine, and she has now lived in the palace of the Five Emperors."
Sui Yan said "ha" and didn't speak any more.
He patted the tub and said angrily, "Don't worry about that princess, you asked Haitang to change the hot water for me, and replace the herbs with petals, the kind that leaves a residual fragrance, the one that makes people want to stop. kind!"
Jun Jingxing: "… "
Jun Jingxing said incredulously: "What are you going to do? Why do you say that you are going to sleep like you are going to sleep..."
Sui Yan looked at him faintly.
Jun Jingxing sucked in a breath of cold air and said in awe, "You shouldn't... leave the prince behind, right?"
Suiyan patted his shoulder and gave him an admiring look: "Young Xia is so smart, he guessed it right."
Jun Jingxing clenched his fists towards him and said sincere admiration, "Mighty man, you are such a daring thief."
