Stigma (Yi Cong Yin)

Chapter 49: Old case

At dinner, Sui Yan absently drank half a bowl of soup, and couldn’t help but asked the palace servant who was serving dishes: “Where is your Royal Highness?”

The palace man helped him with a chopsticks and only one piece of meat in the medicated meal, and respectfully said: “His Royal Highness said that he had eaten it at the Five Highnesses, so he won’t come to accompany Master Xiaohou.”

Sui Yan almost squeezed the chopsticks in his hand.

He said in his heart: Oh man.

After Sui Yan finished the meal without knowing its taste, he was persuaded by the palace to drink half a bowl of medicine, and returned to the side hall with a dull voice.

Sui Yan sat on the couch for a long time and unbuttoned his clothes sullenly, planning to go to bed, but when putting down his clothes, the sachet in his arms fell out accidentally.

Sui Yan was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to realize why Ming Chong suddenly left him in the cold.

After all the points were figured out, Sui Yan’s mood of depression all night rose instantly.

In the bedroom of the East Palace, Duan Mingchong was sitting in front of the book table with a book in his hand, holding a book in his hand, looking down at him, the puffy candlelight enveloped him, his handsome profile became more gentle.

Sui Yan opened the door cautiously, seeing Duan Mingchong’s jade-like appearance, his Adam’s apple moved with difficulty.

He probed his head at the door for a long time before he said timidly: “His Royal Highness?”

Duan Mingchong was taken aback, looked up to the door, and saw Sui Yan’s vigilant look like a frightened little animal, and his eyes sank.

“What are you doing outside? Come in.”

Sui Yan came in tremblingly. He was still barefoot in his thin clothes, his lips were blue with freezing.

Duan Mingchong took a look, his face suddenly sank, he kept the book that he hadn’t turned a page all night on the bookcase, got up and walked quickly.

“Why did you come here without wearing thick clothes? Isn’t it cold?!” Duan Mingchong stepped forward and dragged him into the room, pushing him to the couch with a calm face.

Sui Yan was a bitter ploy, because Ming Chong would definitely eat him.

He bent his legs, his two cold feet stepped on each other, and whispered: “I suddenly remembered that there was something to ask your Highness to clarify, so I ran over.”

Duan Mingchong frowned and said, “Is there something important that I can’t say tomorrow?”

Sui Yan took out a purple sachet from his sleeve, carefully pinched the two tassel threads on the tassel with two fingers, handed it to Duan Mingchong, and whispered: “This.”

Duan Mingchong’s eyes moved and said, “Do you want to tell me this girl who gave you the sachet?”

Year-old Yan swallowed.

Duan Mingchong smiled: “People give you a sachet naturally because they are interested in you. You can decide your own life-long events yourself. What do you say to me?”

After Duan Mingchong finished speaking, the hands placed in his sleeves squeezed tightly, and he grabbed a few folds of the brocade clothes, and there was also an unknown soreness in his heart.

“He is so old, so he should prepare well for his lifelong events.” Duan Mingchong thought sadly, “Since he wants to discuss his relatives, then he can’t stay in the East Palace for too long.”

Duan Ming Chong was about to talk about his return to the Hou Mansion, when Sui Yan lowered his head to untie the sachet, revealing the few pine nuts left in it.

Duan Mingchong: “…”

Sui Yan smiled courteously: “I ran into Gannhe in the palace during the day, and he forcibly gave it to me. I am afraid that your Royal Highness is worried that the origin of this thing is unclear or clean, so I didn’t dare to let you know.”

Duan Mingchong stared at a few pine nuts in the sachet, and didn’t know what to say for a long time, his eyes were all indescribably complicated.

Sui Yan shook the sachet and threw it under the bed like a hot potato. He smiled and said, “I threw it away, you see, I threw it away. I will never eat it again. Now, your Highness is open, don’t blame me anymore.”

Duan Mingchong was a little helpless by his pitiful expression. He rubbed his eyebrows and said, “I don’t blame you. If you want to eat this kind of food again in the future, I will let Yuchu cook it for you. …”

Sui Yan said, “…it’s not clean, I know, I will definitely not eat it again in the future.”

Duan Mingchong looked at him helplessly, with a gentle smile on his face.

Sui Yan finally saw Duan Mingchong’s usual gentle smile, and smiled when he knew that he had said the matter.

Duan Ming Chong said: “Since there is nothing else, you just…”

Before he finished speaking, he saw Sui Yanzheng lifting the quilt and crawling inside.

Duan Mingchong: “…”

Duan Mingchong said with difficulty: “Ayan, what are you doing?”

With a word of effort, Sui Yan arched into the quilt like a snake. At this moment, only the hairy top and two eyes like colored glaze were exposed. He grabbed the quilt with both hands and blinked at him: “I cold.”

Duan Mingchong was helpless: “Then I will send you back to the side hall to sleep.”

Sui Yan’s hippie smile: “His Royal Highness, for the sake of my proactive confession this time, let me sleep here for one night. I am not used to sleeping alone, and I had a nightmare all night last night.”

Duan Mingchong was a little embarrassed.

Sui Yan was cruel: “I can’t sleep, I might have to look for incense everywhere.”

Duan Mingchong: “…”

Duan Mingchong was completely defeated by him, and nodded helplessly: “Okay, I’ll let someone move a charcoal basin and sleep.”

Sui Yan suddenly opened his eyebrows and smiled, arched and shrank into the bed, and patted in the quilt: “Your Highness, come!”

Duan Mingchong smiled and said, “I have something to do, it will be later.”

Sui Yan was on the bed, not afraid of Duan Mingchong running halfway, so he nodded obediently.

Duan Mingchong tucked the quilt for him, then turned and left.

When he turned his head, the smile on his face became a little cold, frowned and walked a few steps, picked up the sachet on the ground and looked at it casually.

Sui Yan was arching around in the quilt, not knowing what he was happy about.

Duan Mingchong glanced at the arched Jinbei, his eyes darkened, and quickly threw the sachet into the charcoal basin aside.

The charcoal was quickly engulfed by the sachet, and in a short while it burned into a mass of ashes.

Duan Mingchong looked down at the sachet burnt by the tongue of fire in the charcoal basin, and his amber eyes were dimmed by the fire.

He murmured softly: “Jiang, En, and He.”

Sui Yan, relying on his cheeky, successfully moved into Duan Mingchong’s bedroom-although His Royal Highness still refused to touch him, he wished to move himself to the edge of the bed every day.

Just half a month later, the grass grows long and the flowers are sloppy.

Sui Yan’s body was well raised by Duan Ming Chong, and his cheeks grew a bit more fleshy, and he looked a lot ruddy, but he was probably at the age of growing his body. Every night, the muscles and bones of both legs were cramping madly. Sui Yan Yeye The pain was so painful that the ghosts cried and howled, and by the way, they secretly fluttered into the arms of the little majesty, taking advantage of it.

On this day, Ming Chong went to the cabinet to discuss matters. Sui Yan, who had twitched his legs all night, trembled and planned to go to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers. Persuaded in a low voice.

Sui Yan waved his hand: “It’s okay, don’t worry about me, I’ll just walk away.”

Young Master Hou was physically disabled, so he moved to the Yuhuayuan with difficulty step by step, and looked around, and then retreated the palace man who was following him, and sat alone in the pavilion by the pond.

After a while, a figure hurriedly ran up on the quiet trail.

Sui Yan saw it at a glance and said hurriedly: “Here!”

The man ran up quickly and walked close to revealing a bruised and swollen face. It was Gannhe.

Sui Yan looked at him and was startled: “Oh! Mr. Jiang, how come you have such a respectable face today?”

Gann and a few steps stepped onto the steps, and said angrily: “I provoke you to offend you!? Are you so cheating on me? Besides, you have accepted my bribes, so how can you file a complaint with your Royal Highness?”

Sui Yan: “…”

Sui Yan blinked innocently: “What?”

Gann and his anger continued: “Don’t you say that you don’t know anything?! I stayed well in the Imperial Academy. A few days ago, His Royal Highness suddenly came to me and asked me to take charge of an old case! Pooh me! This one No one else dared to answer the matter, why did it fall on my head for no reason? Isn’t it that I was so unlucky when you were blowing the pillow breeze under His Royal Highness?”

Sui Yan was stunned when he was scolded, but he was very comfortable with the pillow breeze, and it was rare that he didn’t care about Gann and he. He patiently said: “Why? If you don’t take this case, the prince will pay. Can’t beat you?”

Gann was a little dazed. He touched the wound on his face uncomfortably, and whispered, “I am chasing a bear cub who stole my money in a busy street, that stinky girl, don’t let me catch her. Otherwise I want her to look good!”

Sui Yan still found Gann and this person very interesting for the first time. He raised his eyebrows: “So, you called me out, do you want me to dismiss this case for you?”

Gann nodded humiliatingly.

Sui Yan said, “Then tell me first, what case made you want to throw a potato out like a hot potato?”

Jiang Enhe thought for a while before he got close to Sui Yan’s ear and whispered: “It’s the corruption case of Yin Lingfeng before. Your Royal Highness seems to have to investigate again.”

Year-old Yan’s eyes trembled.

Sui Yan said: “Why did he suddenly check this?”

Gann He almost screamed: “I want to know too!”

Sui Yan glanced at him with a hatred of iron and steel, “Calm down, what a big deal, since His Royal Highness wants you to check, you can just check it out and worry about it.”

Jiang Enhe pouted his lips: “What you said is easy. In the case of Yin Lingfeng back then, many ministers in the DPRK interceded for him and called for injustice. The emperor still committed crimes directly to protect the Five His Highnesses. I am going to take over this case, not to kill myself. ?”

Sui Yan remembered the situation of Duan Xichen now, and smiled, “That’s not necessarily, maybe now is a good time to reverse the case.”

Gann was frightened, his mind didn’t change, and he said blankly, “What?”

Sui Yan was about to speak when there was a sudden sound of footsteps from the side, and the two people who were very close separated quickly, tilting their heads to look aside.

Dressed in a black robe, Duan Xichen came out of the side path with a few attendants, seemingly also to enjoy the flowers.

When Sui Yan saw Duan Xichen’s face, his body instinctively stiffened, and the fear in his heart surged upwards, but he was quickly suppressed by force.

Duan Xichen seemed to have seen Sui Yan and walked towards him with a calm face.

He was seriously ill. He was weak in figure and I don’t know if it was because of the fragrance of medicine. His whole temperament changed drastically, his eyes were dark and gloomy.

Sui Yan and Jiang Enhe stood up and saluted him.

“I have seen the five highnesses.”

Duan Xichen walked forward quickly and coldly watched Sui Yan, whose legs were trembling and almost unable to stand still, before saying, “Get up.”

Only then did the two stand up.

Duan Xichen looked at Sui Yan with cold eyes, and said, “Little Houye, I haven’t seen you for a long time, you are still so beautiful.”

Gan Enhe’s expression on the side sank, he didn’t seem to expect that Duan Xichen would dare to face Sui Yan so disrespectfully in front of so many people, and his tone almost treated Sui Yan as a man of dust.

Sui Yan didn’t change his face, and said lightly: “His Royal Highness may not have seen him for a long time, but he is still as unreasonable and vulgar as the people in the market.”

Duan Xichen: “…”

Gannhe: “…”

It seemed even more unexpected that Sui Yan dared to mock him in public, and Duan Xichen froze for a moment.

Sui Yan suddenly “Ah”, turned his head and accused him insincerely: “I’m really sorry, my Highness, I’ve been ill for several days, and I’m still not well, my mind is a bit awkward. It’s for me not to run around, lest you offend others by talking nonsense, and hope you forgive me for being open-minded and don’t sue the prince.”
