Huan Xuan stared at him in disbelief and said firmly: "No."
Huan Xigui poured himself a glass of wine leisurely and said, "I am not here to discuss this with you. The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. Since you have no relationship with each other, this wine is not yours."
Huan Xuan had never seen such a shameless person, but he could not refute this lecher's words, and he really had no right to control Xiao Ling.
Huan Xigui picked up the wine glass and was about to bring it to his lips when he heard a "clang" sound. The glass was suddenly empty and flew out, with the wine splashing all over him.
"The person is not mine, but the wine glass is mine." Huan Xuan said coldly, putting down the silver chopsticks in his hand - he had just used this silver chopstick to overturn the wine glass in Prince Yuzhang's hand.
Huan Xigui looked at him for a while with his cunning fox eyes, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Unfortunately, I asked someone to deliver this jar of Yicheng Jiuyun the other day."
As he spoke, he beckoned to the waiter who was serving the meal, "Bring another cup."
Huan Xuan didn't really want to kick him out, but he was furious, so he just picked up the cup, drank it all in one gulp, then grabbed the jug and filled it for himself.
The two of them drank by themselves. Huan Xigui had a low alcohol tolerance, so he sipped slowly. Huan Xuan had a better alcohol tolerance, but he drank too quickly. Soon, both of them were a little tipsy.
Huan Xuan suddenly put down his wine glass heavily and sneered: "You said you are not worthy of me."
Huan Xigui said, "I never said that. You must have remembered it wrongly."
Huan Xuan said: "I won't want you."
Huan Xigui frowned, then relaxed his brows and glanced at him: "I want you?"
Huan Xuan's face froze, then he raised his chin: "Of course."
Huan Xigui tilted his head and asked with his chin on his side: "Then why are you here?"
Huan Xuan: "I don't want to."
Huan Xigui stared at the knife wound on his face in a daze for a while, then dipped the silver chopsticks in the wine in the cup and scratched his own face: "Shameless."
Huan Xuan picked up the wine glass and was about to smash it on his face. When the glass was about to fall off, he changed his mind, took it back, and squinted his eyes: "A friend's wife should not be bullied. I treated you as a friend in vain, but all the good wine and food were fed to the dog."
Huan Xigui turned his face and refused to admit it: "It was my elder brother who asked me to look after you. I have looked after you for all these years, but you turned out to be an ungrateful person."
After a pause, he said, "Xiao Ling didn't marry you."
Huan Xuan did not stop drinking while arguing, and he kept drinking in between conversations. The one Huan Xuan in front of him had turned into two, which made him even more annoying.
"I planned to marry you before I went to Huaixi," he rubbed his eyes, "you are my wife."
Huan Xigui smiled sarcastically: "You want to marry me? You just treat me as a substitute and don't treat me well. There's no way I'd marry you. If you didn't look like my brother, I wouldn't marry you."
Huan Xuan's body suddenly stiffened, he lowered his eyelids, pursed his lips tightly, and turned down the corners of his mouth.
Huan Xigui leaned forward to take a closer look, clapped his hands and smiled, "Xiao Xuan'er can't win the argument, so he's crying."
Huan Xuan raised his head, sneered with red eyes: "Whoever cries is a dog, I have never cried since I was born."
Huan Xigui said with a "tsk". "Incredible! That's very rare."
Huan Xuan said: "Don't be so delusional. Sui Sui just doesn't like lechers like you."
Huan Xigui opened his collar, revealing the jade-like skin on his chest: "I can keep my chastity for you."
Huan Xuan frowned and said simply, "Disgusting. Don't you see how many girls are in your backyard?"
Huan Xigui said: "'Everyone makes mistakes, but if you make mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing better than doing good.' Just say one word from you and I will send all those girls away immediately. From now on, I will live alone with you. If you are willing to marry me, I will follow you to Heshuo."
Huan Xuan said: "Sui Sui will not marry you, she likes clean ones."
Huan Xigui tucked in his clothes slowly and patted his chest: "I am clean here, I am so timid that I only let you go in my heart, there is no reason to be harsh on Ruan Sanniang..."
This was Huan Xuan's weak spot. He became short of breath when it was poked, and he was indeed unable to speak.
Huan Xigui put on a smug smile, but Huan Xuan suddenly snorted coldly: "A dog will always eat shit."
Huan Xigui was stunned: "Why are you swearing?"
Huan Xuan had never heard any vulgar words in the barracks, but because of his noble birth, he could not say them on a normal day. Now he could not care less.
He snorted coldly and squinted at his cousin: "If a dog dares to eat me, then it dares to say it."
Huan Xigui stood up and patted him on the head: "I... I will teach you a lesson on behalf of my brother."
Huan Xuan said to the eunuch: "Bring me my Luanhai, I will chop this scoundrel off..."
Several eunuchs turned away and pretended not to hear.
Huan Xuan quickly remembered that Luan Hai had already taken it and exchanged it for the jade pendant.
Now the sword is gone, the jade is gone, the horse is gone, and the man is gone.
He was stunned for a moment, then slowly sat down.
Huan Xigui said: "You don't want you and you don't want me. We are brothers with the same fate. We should unite against the same enemy. First, go and eliminate the sickly pretty boy beside you..."
Huan Xuan frowned and asked, "Is Cheng here today?"
He sneered: "They are really inseparable."
Huan Xigui said: "I see that guy has a peach blossom face, his eyes are mostly white and less black, and his mind is more cunning than a sieve. It's obvious that he is not a quiet person..."
Huan Xuan raised his eyelids and stared at him for a moment, his eyes turned cold: "I think you are not a quiet person either."
He picked up the silver chopsticks, stood up, and hit Huan Xigui on the head: "Whoever kills first counts as one."
Huan Xiu dodged and his head was fine, but the Lotus Flower Temple was hit crooked and his hair fell off.
He was stunned, then he held his head and cried: "My hair is messy, my hair is messy..."
Huan Xuan pointed at him with the silver chopsticks. After a while, his body swayed and he fell on the table.
…
It was late at night, but the lights were still on in the Changshou Courtyard of the Eastern Palace.
Ruan Yue walked into her husband's bedroom with trepidation; they had not slept in the same bed for a long time.
The man put down his pen and raised his eyes from the desk: "Here it comes."
Ruan Yue bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness, long live the Lord."
After serving the empress in the nunnery for several months, she was still as frail as ever, but her complexion had improved a little.
She had dressed up carefully today, with a light layer of makeup on her face, and her long black hair tied up in a bun. Her fluffy hair like clouds and mist made her face look only the size of a palm, like a spring crabapple blossom that had been hit by rain.
The boy looked at his father's face and felt a little sad.
It must be said that Ruan Yuewei's appearance was far superior to that of his other concubines, and her skin, which had been nurtured since childhood using Queen Ruan's prescriptions, was so delicate and smooth that it could be broken by a touch.
Even though he knew that she had bad intentions, he still missed the pleasure of having sex with her.
He softened his tone and asked, "But what did you remember?"
Ruan Yue tightly grasped the handkerchief in her arms.
In fact, I didn't remember anything special. That night, I was besieged by a pack of wolves and attacked by an assassin. I was so scared that my soul was almost scattered. How could I pay attention to so many things
Later, when she saw Huan Xuan, her heart was completely on him again. She looked at the woman from the outer house with eyes full of jealousy and didn't see anything at all.
But my wife has ignored me for a long time. If it weren't for this excuse, I might not even be able to enter this yard.
She nodded slightly and bit her lip: "I remember that the woman from the outer house was a little weird..."
The son's expression was stern: "What's strange about it?"
Ruan Yue smiled slightly: "I can't really say, I just feel that she is not as docile as other concubines, and she treats me very arrogantly and rudely."
Sui Sui's attitude that day was not arrogant at all, he just didn't bow down. Ruan Yuewei just said this intentionally out of disgust, but she didn't expect to hit the target by accident.
The boy nodded thoughtfully, came back to his senses after a while, and waved to me: "Come here."
A look of joy flashed across Ruan Yuewei's eyes as she walked forward slowly.
My husband held my hand, pulled me into his arms, and stroked the back of my neck: "Atang, I know I have wronged you during this period of time. I ignored you only because I felt guilty."
Ruan Yuewei raised her head in surprise: "Why do you say that, Your Highness?"
The eldest son said: "I am not as good as you in literature, nor as good as you in martial arts. I am honored to be the eldest son. I don't know if you can finish the job well. So I thought it would be better to ignore you and let you give up. Then I can save myself the sadness of separation."
Ruan Yue was shocked, and the blush on her face faded away in an instant: "Your Highness, please don't say such ominous words!"
The prince gave a bitter smile and said, "Those treacherous officials in the court used the counterfeit money in Jiangnan to frame me and implicate me. My situation is already precarious. If I had known this, I should not have come to provoke you and let you marry Sanlang."
This was half true and half false. If Huan Xuan had not coveted Ruan Yuewei's beauty, family background, and reputation as a talented woman in Kyoto and the most beautiful woman in Chang'an, he would not have gone to the border and would not have been in command of a large army.
Ruan Yuewei's words hit her heart, and she broke out in a cold sweat. She wiped it off with her sleeve quietly, held her husband's hand, and said gently: "My dear, please don't say such things. It is my blessing to marry you. Husband and wife are one. No matter what happens in the future, I will be with you."
"Atang..." The boy lifted her face and kissed her passionately.
Ruan Yue was shocked and frightened, and all she could think about was what he had just said.
He knew that the Eastern Palace was implicated by Duke Wu'an, but he didn't know that the situation had become so dangerous. If the prince was deposed, wouldn't all his efforts over the years be in vain? In the past, if the prince was deposed, the prince's wife would not have a good fate. The best outcome would be to return to her mother's family. If her mother's family didn't want to leave, she would probably have to accompany the green lamp and the ancient Buddha for the rest of her life. What's worse, there were not a few who were deposed and killed together with the prince.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. How could he have the energy to flatter his wife
The boy seemed unaware of it and was in great spirits.
Ruan Yuewei looked over her husband's shoulder and looked at the man's rising and falling body, feeling nauseous.
After an unknown amount of time, the knife finally let go of her, and Ruan Yuewei almost fainted.
He glanced at the woman on the bed, smiled coldly, stood up, put on his clothes, walked into the hall, and said to the eunuch: "Call Meng Cheng over."
After a while, Meng Cheng, the commander of the Eastern Palace guards, arrived.
My dear, how about what I asked you to ask
Meng Cheng said: "Your Highness, I asked the guards who went to the forest to count and examine the corpses that day, and they found something unusual."
The son's eyes narrowed: "Oh?"
Meng Cheng: "Two of the bodies had been stabbed on the left side."
