Stigma

Jun Jingxing was stunned, then turned around and helplessly wiped his tears: "Why are you crying suddenly? Isn't this a happy event?"

There is nothing to cry about.

In the eyes of others, Suixun and Jiang Ning are in love with each other, and the love journey is smooth, and they come together naturally. I don't know how many people are envied.

But in Sui Yan's mind, the previous life's elder brother died young, and Jiang Ning, who was left with a sense of friendship, was floating and sinking in the world.

It is the most painful thing in the world to ask but not to live and die.

It is precisely because Sui Yan is accustomed to seeing the sorrows of the two in the past life, so he feels that the happiness of the present is hard to come by.

He gently pushed away Jun Jingxing, wiped two hands casually, and said, "It's okay."

Jun Jingxing looked at him helplessly.

The surroundings were still lively, guests gradually took their seats to have a banquet, Sui Yan and Jun Jingxing sat together, and rarely mixed half a glass of wine with honey juice and drank it all in one go.

After half a cup of wine, Sui Yan's shoulders trembled, and a layer of mist appeared in his eyes. He tilted his head and said, "Bring me that jar of wine."

Jun Jingxing hurriedly stopped his hand: "What kind of wine is you drinking, you are still not in good health, and you want to get a needle again, right?"

Sui Yan stretched out **** and compared, "That's it, drink it with sugar water, you can't taste it."

Jun Jingxing said: "That's not okay, you can't taste it now, but you will spit it out when the wine is up, stop making trouble."

Sui Yan glared at him, turned around and stretched out a glass of wine to the guests next to him, and said, "Pour me a little bit of your wine."

That person: "..."

Jun Jingxing covered his face, which was embarrassing.

Fortunately, that person was the lieutenant who was snatched by Sui Yan during the day. He glanced at Sui Yan speechlessly, and took the wine jar to pour him a glass without complaint.

Sui Yan's eyes were bent, and he softly said thank you.

The lieutenant did not dare, and was about to put down the wine jar, Sui Yan suddenly said, "Take it!"

The lieutenant paused and looked at Sui Yan suspiciously.

Sui Yan mixed the wine in the cup with a bunch of honey water, and raised his glass to the vice-general, saying, "You did it, I'm free."

Vice-General: "..."

The lieutenant was taken aback, looked at the wine jar with the big head in his hand, and tentatively said, "Do... this?"

Sui Yan had a natural expression of "Of course, which one would you like to drink?"

Vice-General: "..."

Sui Yan took a sip of the honey water in his glass, and did not taste much alcohol.

He patted the table and said, "Drink, hurry up."

The lieutenant endured the humiliation, picked up the wine jar, groaned for a long time, and drank it all in one go.

The other generals on the side saw him so proud and hurriedly applauded. Suddenly, a group of people in the army mingled together for a drink, making a lot of noise.

Sui Yan had vomited when he touched the wine before. This time he drank a lot with the honey water, but he didn't see how uncomfortable he was. Instead, he kept drinking happily.

Jun Jingxing was afraid that he would drink himself out of it for any reason, and refused to let him drink anything.

Sui Yan was also able to stop. Seeing that it was getting late, he was about to stand up and go back to the courtyard to sleep when Haitang suddenly ran in from the door in a panic.

Sui Yan said: "What's wrong?"

Haitang was full of horror, and said with a trembling voice: "Master, people from the torture and torture departments are here, saying that they want to..."

At the same time, several officers and soldiers entered aggressively from outside.

"Get out of the way, the Criminal Ministry handles the case!"

Haitang trembled: "...It is said that the young master is a foreigner who wants to arrest you and bring you to justice."

Sui Yan was stunned for a moment.

All the guests in the room stopped their movements at the same time, and the whole hall was silent for a while.

Sui Yan hadn't reacted yet. Two officers and soldiers walked forward and said coldly, "I'm disturbing Master Hou, please come with us."

Sui Yan's heart trembled, his mind turned quickly, and he immediately figured out the source of the foreign connection here. He said, "It's awkward, it must be Li Zhao who passed the forgery of the document to Wuwang by mistake."

He was about to speak, when the lieutenants who had been fighting and drinking suddenly stood up and stood in front of Sui Yan like a mountain. courage."

All the lieutenants who followed Suixun had seen blood on the battlefield. They just stood at random, exuding evil spirits all over, let alone when they looked at people coldly.

Several officers and soldiers were shocked, hesitated for a moment, and turned to look at the man holding the paperwork.

The man spread out the papers and said: "This is a will just passed from the palace. Sui Anhou secretly colluded with the former Nanjiang princess. The evidence is conclusive. I came here to arrest them. I hope that the generals will not miss the court. Otherwise, even General Sui will not be able to bear this responsibility."

The lieutenant said coldly: "Collaborating with the former princess, the evidence is conclusive, then what is the evidence? I want to get people in the Hou Mansion with a piece of paper, sir, do you think we people are really just showing good-looking? "

Sui Yan had already prepared a lot of words to plug people's mouths, but he didn't expect that the lieutenant under his brother would even preemptively stun the place.

He blinked, wondering why this person was so protective of him.

My elder brother’s stinky temper that comforts others with drinking wine must be the same for his men. Sui Yan tilted his head and thought about it, and was relieved at once, and attributed it to the two of them who had done the glass of wine. Friendship.

The lieutenant was extremely ferocious on the surface, but in reality he was sad: "If someone really takes away Lord Hou under our noses, the general will definitely strip us alive. No way, no way, we can't be allowed to die here. Something happened to the young master."

Everyone has different thoughts.

The official holding the clerical expression was extremely ugly, and said, "You blatantly defy the emperor's personal clerks. Are you planning to rebel?"

The officers and soldiers held their hands on the hilt of the knife around their waists, as if they wanted to draw the knife at the right time.

Upon seeing this, the lieutenant gave a "tsk".

Soldiers like them who rely on their military merits are completely different from the children of these officials in the capital.

He threw the cup that he had been holding in his hand aside, and pulled out the knife from his waist without saying a word.

The soldiers on the side also drew their swords one after another, and the sound of sword blades unsheathed throughout the hall.

Sui Yan: "..."

Jun Jingxing: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Everyone says that people in the army are often outspoken. If you don't say anything else, you're just arguing. Rumors are honest and don't deceive me.

only……

This is too straightforward!

Sui Yan tentatively stretched out his hand and pulled the lieutenant's sleeve, and said, "Hey, forget it."

The lieutenant said loudly and forcefully: "Don't be afraid of Lord Hou, we will definitely protect you!"

Sui Yan: "..."

Oh, all right.

The officials of the Criminal Department were startled, looked at the cold blade in amazement, and said with difficulty: "The forgery document has now been delivered to the Criminal Ministry. Military merit is not easy, so I still want to think twice."

The military merits of the soldiers are not easy, and their lives are not easy.

The knife still cannot be collected.

The whole room looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.

When the two sides confronted each other, Sui Yan sighed slightly, took a step forward, and said, "My lord, dare you to ask where you found my letters from foreign countries, and when did your majesty order to arrest me? ?"

The official resisted his anger and said: "The former princess came from the south of the Yangtze River. After being introduced by the second prince, the emperor pityed her misery and settled down in Xiaozhu, a suburb of Beijing. , I overheard that the former princess tried to undermine her majesty."

Sui Yan said in his heart: "If I didn't do anything like this upside-down, then what Li Zhao conveyed to her must be let go."

"Last night, your Majesty asked to go to the Xiaozhu where the princess was staying to check, and he was looking up the correspondence between her and Lord Hou."

Sui Yan Bolan gave a calm "Oh" and said, "Then dare to ask where the former princess is now?"

"Once the matter was revealed, she was supposed to get out and leave, and was arrested by the second prince decisively," the official took out a **** veil and said, "She was dying and struggling. ."

Yan's eyes were cold at the age of the year.

No wonder I haven't found hopelessness after looking for nothing for a long time.

Jun Jingxing frowned and said, "Where is the corpse?"

"Falling into the moat, Xu Shi has already become bait."

In short, there is no proof of death.

The official finished speaking, and his face looked a little better: "Master Hou, we are only following orders, and I hope you don't embarrass us. If you really haven't done this, the Criminal Ministry will definitely repay you innocence."

Sui Yan smiled softly and was about to speak when a voice suddenly came from the side.

"Who is this trying to force?"

As soon as Sui Yan turned his head, he saw Suixun and Jiang Ning walking side by side, their faces were all indifferent and cold.

Sui Yan ran to him: "Brother."

Suixun stepped forward and dragged Sui Yan behind him, and coldly looked at the officials of the Criminal Department: "Sui Anhou is my brother. If you have anything to do with you, let me talk to you."

Jiang Ning took off the cumbersome wedding dress, and only changed into a red plain dress. He put on heavy makeup, but he still couldn't hide his heroic spirit.

She looked cold and waved her hand at random. The lieutenant holding the knife was taken aback for a moment, and then one after another took the knife into its sheath, and stepped aside and stopped talking.

The criminal ministry official said what just now, and said: "General Sui understands the righteousness, and I hope not to embarrass us."

Suixun tilted his head and glanced at Sui Yan, his expression a bit solemn.

Sui Yan hugged his arm, shook his head desperately, and whispered: "It's not me, I didn't do this, my brother believes in me."

Suixun frowned more severely. He stretched out his hand to support Sui Yan's profile, and said coldly, "Did you drink?"

Sui Yan: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Years old Yannane said: "I...I didn't..."

Sui Xun scolded: "Naughty! You told me that you can't drink, what kind of madness is going on today, if you get sick again, don't cry to me!"

Sui Yan: "..."

Everyone looked at the two brothers speechlessly, unanimously feeling that Sui Yan could grow up to be like a demon king now, and he couldn't get rid of his elder brother.

In the palace.

As the night fell, Duan Mingchong leaned against the bedpost and closed his eyes slightly to take a nap. He suddenly heard the sound of the fence beam on the couch and opened his eyes.

Duanlishu has been on fire since last night, and the whole person is almost silly. Duan Mingchong has taken care of him for a day and night, and finally he is sober.

Her lips were white, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and her face was sickly pale, which made her feel distressed.

Duan Mingchong hurriedly grabbed her hand and said softly: "Li Shu, you finally woke up, are you still uncomfortable?"

Duan Li Shu coughed a few times before reluctantly recognizing the person: "Brother?"

Duan Mingchong wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It's me, you have been in a drowsy day."

He beckoned and asked the servant to bring the medicine in.

Duan Lei Bun was leaned against the soft pillow, and the medicine was fed with a spoon by Duan Mingchong.

She frowned, couldn't smell the medicine, and was about to turn her head to hide. Seeing Duan Mingchong's tired look, her eyes trembled and she swallowed the medicine obediently.

After drinking a bowl of medicine, she also had some strength.

"Brother has always been here?"

Duan Mingchong tucked her quilt corner and said, "Well, just wake up. What happened to you yesterday? I asked the person who served you carefully. You stayed in the palace yesterday and didn't go out. How could you suddenly With such a severe wind chill, do you have any dirty things in your mouth?"

Duan Li Shu thought for a while, and said weakly: "Brother Erhuang came to me last night and brought me folk gadgets and snacks. Only that, and everything else is the same."

Duan Mingchong frowned and said, "I told you everything, don't enter the outside things, or else..."

He was reprimanding, not knowing what he thought of, his eyes suddenly chilled.

Duan Lianshu was shrinking his head and cursing, and seeing Duan Mingchong suddenly stopped, he whispered: "Brother, I know I was wrong, and I won't dare again next time."

Duan Mingchong quickly recovered, smiled and touched Duanlishu's head, and said: "Then you behave, remember to take medicine, I will go back first."

Duan Mingchong has taken care of her for so long, and Duan Lishu has long been guilty and nodded hurriedly: "Send brother."

Duan Mingchong patted her on the head before turning and leaving.

The smile on his face suddenly fell as soon as he exited the dormitory.

Duan Mingchong looked at the palace man guarding outside the sleeping hall and found a few familiar faces, his face sank directly.

That is the person around you Duan Ruwang.

Duan Ming Chong walked back to the East Palace quickly. Before entering the door, the guard greeted him in a panic: "Your Highness!"

Duan Mingchong was very calm and said, "What happened?"

The guard said: "I don't know who knows that your Majesty Sui Anhou has colluded with the former princess of Southern Xinjiang to murder the emperor. There are all correspondences. Now the people from the criminal department have gone to the Houfu to get people. You, but the people outside the hall said that your Highness is busy with important things, and have been blocking the entry of subordinates and let them pass the notification, but there has been no response."

Outside the palace of the princess, there are people who are up to expectations, and naturally they will not let him confide in the news.

Duan Mingchong took a breath, and then said for a long time: "I know it."

The guards looked anxious, and saw Duan Mingchong walking towards the palace, and hurriedly overtook him, saying: "His Royal Highness is going to leave the palace?"

Duan Mingchong said coldly: "No, it's useless to leave the palace."
