Duan Mingchong didn't know what he was dreaming about, but seeing him so frightened, he hugged him tightly, couldn't help comforting his back, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's just a dream."
Sui Yan held Duan Mingchong tightly, his whole body trembling.
"His Royal Highness, I made a big mistake..." Sui Yan murmured, "People who commit suicide will be punished by heaven, I..."
Over the years of rebirth, Sui Yan has always thought that this unrequited life is a gift from God, so he has been working hard to live the way he wants most, unscrupulous and unbridled.
But when he gradually forgot the bad things in his previous life and finally got in touch with Duan Mingchong, the sudden illness dragged him into an abyss-like reality.
At this time, he realized in a trance that this life is not a gift, but a punishment, a punishment for his own life at the cost of his life in the previous life.
So when he wanted to live the most, God played the biggest joke on him.
As if in a dream, it came to an abrupt end in the most delightful place and returned to the icy reality.
Sui Yan looked at Duan Mingchong in despair and sorrow: "Your Highness, Your Highness... Am I... going to die?"
Duan Mingchong didn't know what he was talking about, but seeing the despair and madness that only nightmares could bring in his eyes, he was stunned for a long time before he hugged him tighter.
"This is not a punishment." Duan Mingchong said, "This is not a punishment at all. Even if you do make a big mistake, it will not be your turn to judge right from wrong and decide the crime."
Sui Yan raised his head slightly, and there was still some fear in his eyes, but he was a little more settled than before.
"yes?"
Duan Ming Chong said: "Yes."
Xu Shi Duan Mingchong's too firm words affected Sui Yan. He was stunned for a while, as if he had been persuaded. He nodded and said hoarsely, "Okay."
He was tightly curled up in Duan Ming Chong's arms, and there was still an lingering fear in his eyes.
Duan Mingchong held him and sat gently for a while, until he noticed that Sui Yan's frail body no longer trembled, and then gently put him back on the couch and pulled the quilt on.
Sui Yan drank the medicine and slept for a long time. He was not as weak as the previous days. Only then did he realize that the sky was already dark outside the window.
Duan Mingchong poured a glass of water from the side, and Xu dragged Sui Yan's chin and gently fed him half a glass of water.
Sui Yan's mouth was full of bitter medicine, and it was difficult to swallow the water.
Duan Mingchong took advantage of the situation and put the water down.
Sui Yan said, "How long has Your Highness been here?"
Duan Mingchong smiled softly: "It's been a long time."
Sui Yan looked at him in confusion, and said dumbly, "Then your Highness won't go back to the palace?"
Duan Ming Chong said: "I have already told Ming father that I will not go to the court for a few days, and I don't need to worry about the trivial matters in the court."
Sui Yan was stunned for a moment.
Duan Mingchong smiled: "Don't you want me to accompany you?"
Sui Yan hurriedly shook his head, and after shaking it twice, he felt a little pain in his head.
As soon as he frowned, Duan Mingchong knew where he was uncomfortable. He put his hand on the charcoal basin beside him to heat it up, and then placed it on Suiyan's forehead and pressed it gently.
In the past few days, Sui Yan has been lying on the bed and lethargic all day, and his health has finally improved, but he can no longer sleep. Although he is very tired, he does not want to waste such a good opportunity.
He stretched out his hand weakly, hooked Duan Mingchong's finger with his little finger, and stared at Duan Mingchong without blinking.
Duan Mingchong had no choice but to put down one hand and hold it for him, looking at him with a smile, his eyes were full of tenderness, and there was no cold indifference towards Jun Jingxing in the daytime.
"Haitang will deliver the medicine later. You can drink it obediently. When you are well, I will take you wherever you want to go."
Sui Yan tilted his head slightly, as if thinking of something, hooked his hand and shook it, and said hoarsely, "Did His Highness come to see me a few days ago?"
Duan Mingchong was stunned for a moment, only to think of the shameful incident of sneaking over the wall and entering Hou's mansion that night, he turned his head in embarrassment, and said, "Well..."
Sui Yan said: "Did I disrespect His Royal Highness that day?"
Duan Mingchong looked at Sui Yan's face, and he was a little ridiculous for a while. When they were just feeding the medicine, they didn't know how many times they kissed.
Duan Ming Chong's ears turned red, he reached out to cover Sui Yan's eyes, and then said softly, "En."
Sui Yan was about to pull his hand off, but he heard Duan Mingchong's embarrassed voice.
"I would also like."
[Why did you kiss me?]
[I like you, so naturally I want to kiss you.]
[like me?]
[Do you like me?]
Several days have passed since the incident, and after realizing it, His Royal Highness once again said something that left Sui Yan at a loss.
Suiyan likes it if he likes it, and he can speak it out in a direct and open manner, but Duan Mingchong is not as cheeky as him, and it is too difficult for him to say "like" bluntly, so he can only cover Suiyan's eyes Don't let him see his embarrassed appearance and deceive himself.
Sui Yan said, "What?"
Duan Mingchong said indiscriminately: "It's nothing, you are still ill now, don't think too much."
Suiyan still wanted to ask again, but Duan Mingchong kept blocking his eyes and didn't let go. He was a little tired from scratching twice, but he was forced to fall asleep by Duan Mingchong.
It wasn't until Sui Yan's breath fell on his fingers that Duan Ming Chong suddenly let go of his hand after realizing it, and only then did he realize that Sui Yan had fallen asleep at some point.
Duan Mingchong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief for some unknown reason.
He tucked Suiyan's quilt in, then got up and pulled the beaded curtain out of the medicine-smelling inner room.
In the outer room were the medicine for golden sore and a ball of white gauze. The servants had already left, and even Jun Jingxing was sent away by Duan Mingchong.
Duan Mingchong didn't call anyone. He took the medicine for the golden sore and returned to the inner room. He sat on the soft couch beside him and untied his clothes.
Sui Yan had tossed for a day today, because he was unconscious, and his subordinates were not serious.
Duan Mingchong didn't make a sound, and after Sui Yan was completely settled, he had time to take care of his injury.
He frowned and took off his sleeves, took off his blood-stained white shirt little by little, and re-dressed himself with difficulty.
The wound was extremely ferocious, and a piece of blood was blurred.
Duan Ming Chong bandaged his face without changing his face, and just put on his clothes, Sui Xun walked in with the medicine in his hand, smelling the faint smell of blood in the room, and frowned.
"Forgot to go home?"
Duan Mingchong put on his clothes, and when he stood up, there was a flower in front of him, and he held the small case beside him so that he did not fall.
Sui Xun lifted the curtain and walked in, seeing the bloody white yarn scattered on the small case, and thinking about the news of the assassination of His Royal Highness in the palace in the past few days, he probably knew what was going on.
But this person kidnapped his younger brother to give his heart and lungs for him. No matter how lenient Sui Xun was, he would not be able to accept it for a while, nor would he be able to be the prince of the dynasty.
Suixun nodded to Duan Mingchong with a cold face, and said, "The palace gate has not been locked yet, your Highness should go back to the palace to rest earlier. If you forget to return, I will take care of it."
Duan Mingchong's face was pale, and he barely stood still.
He casually threw the white gauze on the small case into the charcoal basin on the side, and after burning it, he smiled softly and said lightly to Suixun: "Gu has been injured recently and cannot handle political affairs. The emperor told him to leave without going to the court, General Sui will go to the morning court tomorrow, so he should go back to rest earlier, and Ayan can just leave it to Gu to take care of him."
Suixun: "..."
Is this the kind of bastard that his blind brother sees
Sui Xun was so angry with him that he was half dead, but he couldn't lose his temper at the prince of the dynasty, so he could only swallow his anger and say: "Wanggui is ill, naturally I, the elder brother, have to take care of me with all my heart. You are also an outsider, and with your noble status, you still dare not bother Your Highness too much."
Duan Mingchong didn't seem to hear the irony in Sui Xun's tone, and choked back with a light sentence: "General Sui is really joking, usually when Ayan is sick, he is alone to take care of him. "
Suixun: "..."
Is this person mocking himself for leaving Sui Yan alone in the capital a few years ago and not going home for three or four years
The more Sui Xun listened, the more angry he became, but when he thought of his unsatisfactory younger brother's dependence on Duan Mingchong today, he had to admit that Duan Mingchong would be much better than himself here.
He put down the medicine with a cold face and left without saying a word, even forgetting the etiquette.
Duan Mingchong didn't care either, he looked at Sui Yan, who seemed to be sleeping unsteadily, walked forward with the medicine, and gently woke him up.
"Ayan, get up and drink the medicine before going back to sleep."
Sui Yan hadn't slept very well at first, and opened his eyes in a daze.
Duan Mingchong sat beside him, helped him up against his arms, blew the medicine, brought it to Sui Yan's lips, and carefully let him drink half a bowl.
But after Suiyan drank the medicine today, he no longer rejected the medicine as much as before, and he could swallow a lot without coaxing, and seldom spit it out.
After Sui Yan finished drinking, he covered his lips with a pale face and buried himself in Duan Ming Chong's arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "I've drank the medicine, will it really be okay?"
He seemed to feel insecure when he was ill. He always asked Duan Mingchong from time to time, "Will I be okay?" "Will I die?" Duan Mingchong listened to it countless times without the slightest impatient. They answered him patiently and tenderly.
"It will be fine after drinking the medicine, just like before, it's just a minor illness."
Suiyan is like a person who is afraid of waking up from a dream. The more gentle Duan Mingchong treats him, the more frightened he becomes, lest he will be woken up from his dream in the next moment.
He gently hugged Duan Mingchong's arm and rubbed lightly on it to find a sense of security.
It's just that before he rubbed twice, Duan Mingchong groaned suddenly, as if he had hit the wound.
Sui Yan was stunned for a moment, only to notice a faint smell of blood.
Sui Yan struggled to sit up, his black hair scattered behind his back, making him look weaker and weaker.
"Your Highness? Your hand..."
He was about to touch Duan Mingchong's hand, but Duan Mingchong grabbed his wrist and pressed him back to the couch with a smile on his pale face.
"It's not a big deal, you go to bed first, and I'll let someone cook sweet porridge for you when you get up tomorrow."
Sui Yan still felt something was wrong, struggling to get up to look, Duan Mingchong stretched out his hand to cover his eyes again.
As soon as there was darkness in front of Suiyan's eyes, he was instinctively sleepy. He grabbed Duan Mingchong's hand and flicked it twice, but he was tired.
Duan Mingchong said softly in his ear: "Sleep, I've been here all the time."
That extremely gentle voice was as charming as a sea monster, and Sui Yan didn't last long before he fell into the darkness again and fell into a drowsy sleep.
