Chapter 104 Alone

Sui Yan had been sleepy since he fell ill. He was woken up early in the morning. After squeezing into a soft chair with Duan Mingchong for a while, he dozed off like a chick pecking at rice.

Duan Mingchong was afraid that he would catch a cold if he fell asleep here, so he gently pushed him and said, "Ayan, don't sleep here. Go back to your room if you want to sleep."

Sui Yan found a more comfortable position and leaned in Duan Ming Chong's arms, squinting his eyes and trying to stay alert: "It doesn't matter. I will be woken up by the noise in the front yard after sleeping for a while anyway."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a deafening noise from the front yard, as if a wall had been pushed down, followed by another round of shouting.

Duan Mingchong frowned when he heard this, but Sui Yan was used to it: "Just watch."

Duan Mingchong looked at the dark scars under his eyes and asked, "Do you keep quarreling like this during the day?"

Sui Yan leaned on his shoulder and replied vaguely: "There is no way. In the past few years, I was the only one in the mansion. Except for the side courtyard, which was kept in good condition, the rest of the place was empty and covered with cobwebs. The wedding date is coming soon, and everyone is busy repairing everything."

Duan Mingchong's brows furrowed more and more tightly: "You have just recovered from a serious illness, you need to rest well, how can you live in such a noisy mansion?"

Sui Yan didn't get enough sleep and felt a little tired. He kept feeling like he had forgotten something, but when he tried hard to think about it, he couldn't remember it.

He leaned on Duan Mingchong's shoulder and smelled the green wood scent on him. After a while, he felt drowsy and said vaguely, "It's okay. I hope there won't be any noise at night."

He was just about to fall asleep when a deafening roar came from outside.

Sui Yan was frightened and woke up completely.

He was easily frightened, and now his already sickly face turned even paler.

Duan Mingchong stared at him for a long time before he finally made up his mind and said, "Come with me to the East Palace to stay for a while, and come back after the house in the Marquis' Mansion is repaired."

Sui Yan was leaning against Duan Mingchong, breathing weakly. Hearing this, he raised his head, looked at him dimly, and said, "Are you asking me to go to the East Palace to recuperate or to warm my bed?"

Duan Mingchong: “…”

Sui Yan pulled down his tightly covered collar, tilted his head to let Duan Mingchong see the red mark on his neck, and said, "I just saw it yesterday, and I was almost beaten to death by my brother because of it. Your Highness, do you really think I'm stupid and don't remember the pain?"

Duan Mingchong lowered his eyes and awkwardly gathered Sui Yan's clothes, whispering: "Be careful not to catch a cold - I'm going to the East Palace just to recuperate, I really won't do anything, you...you don't..."

Although the person in the palace had been secretly trying to kill Sui Yan, if Sui Yan really died in the East Palace, everyone would suspect that it was the East Palace Prince who murdered the son of a meritorious official. The emperor attached so much importance to his reputation that he naturally did not want the prince to bear this stigma, so the most dangerous place was the safest place.

Duan Mingchong considered for a long time before deciding to let Sui Yan go to the East Palace to recuperate, but he didn't expect that Sui Yan would have so many messy thoughts.

Sui Yan asked, "You don't do anything? Then why do you keep your hands on my waist?"

Duan Mingchong quickly retracted his hand as if he had been touched by fire, and said hesitantly, "Yes... it's too crowded."

Sui Yan actually knew it, but he just wanted to tease him.

He leaned closer to Duan Mingchong and said, "Your Highness is so young, and the day before yesterday was the first time he had sex. If I really went to the East Palace, and you couldn't control yourself at night, where would I go to complain?"

Duan Mingchong was stunned for a moment, his ears were red as if blood was dripping out, he didn't know where Sui Yan learned these words, and he actually said them so openly, and yet he didn't change his expression, as if he didn't know how shameful his words were.

Sui Yan continued, "Anyway, the entire East Palace belongs to you, so I should be the one who is helpless."

Duan Mingchong couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he stretched out his hand and covered Sui Yan's mouth, almost begging, "Ayan, stop talking, such words..."

Sui Yan's face was actually flushed as he spoke, but he was trying not to show it. At this moment, seeing Duan Mingchong's flushed and desperate face, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He pulled down Duan Mingchong's hand that was covering his mouth, and his hanging black hair covered his red ears - Sui Yan began to secretly thank God that Jun Jingxing had let his hair down just now, otherwise he would not have the courage to tease Duan Mingchong so desperately.

Sui Yan said: "Your Highness, if you don't want to listen to others, there are more ways than just covering your mouth."

Duan Mingchong didn't know why he suddenly jumped into this topic and looked at him in confusion.

Sui Yan winked at him slyly and said, "Why don't you ask me 'what else'?"

Duan Mingchong instinctively followed his words and asked, "What other kind is there?"

"I'll teach you."

Sui Yan smiled lightly, stood up and walked forward, gently stroked Duan Mingchong's cheek with his slender white fingers, and covered his lips with his.

Duan Mingchong: “…”

Their lips touched, and Sui Yan was about to take the initiative to pry open Duan Mingchong's lips when he felt Duan Mingchong's breathing become a little rapid, and he suddenly reached out and hugged his waist tightly.

Sui Yan was startled. Duan Mingchong took advantage of the moment when he was distracted and took the initiative to slightly lean over and press him down on the soft chair. He then parted Sui Yan's lips and inserted his tongue inside.

Sui Yan's hands were still on Duan Mingchong's shoulders, and he was pressed on the soft chair and could hardly move. His posture was very passive. He didn't like being controlled by others, and he tried hard to push back, but he was restrained by Duan Mingchong as soon as he moved.

After the kiss, Sui Yan's mind was almost a pool of water, his eyes were full of tears, he stared blankly at Duan Mingchong above his head, his breathing became a little rapid.

Duan Mingchong looked down at him and said softly, "Thank you, A Yan, for teaching me everything you know. I have learned it."

Sui Yan was stunned for a long time before he raised his hand tremblingly, put the back of his hand in front of his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Get out of my way!"

Duan Mingchong wanted to say something but stopped himself and still didn't want to get up.

Sui Yan looked at him with one eye, and after seeing Duan Mingchong's expression clearly, he said in a daze, "You don't even want to hear what I'm saying?"

Duan Mingchong pursed his lips and nodded.

Sui Yan immediately covered his mouth and looked at Duan Mingchong as if he were a beast.

Sui Yan once again lifted a stone and dropped it on his own feet. He felt extremely aggrieved.

Duan Mingchong stopped talking, got down from the soft chair, straightened Sui Yan's messy hair, and said, "I will go to the front yard to find General Sui and tell him that you are going to stay in the East Palace for a while. You ask Haitang to pack up, and we will leave after noon."

Sui Yan curled up in the soft chair, bent his knees and glared at him: "I'm not going. Who said I was going? Don't make the decision for me without your permission."

Duan Mingchong said softly: "I don't want to hear this."

Sui Yan immediately bent his knees to cover half of his face and said in a muffled voice: "Go ahead, go and try it, and see if my brother will be nice to you."

Duan Mingchong smiled, turned around and left.

Sui Yan lay alone on the soft chair for a while, and then Duan Mingchong came back.

He was surprised and asked, "What happened?"

Duan Mingchong said: "Your brother agreed."

Sui Yan was shocked: "Impossible, how could he agree so quickly?"

Given Sui Xun's personality, knowing that his brother had been eaten dry, how could he agree to send him to Ming Chong's clutches?

In fact, Duan Mingchong was also very confused. He had already prepared himself to be embarrassed by Sui Xun, but he didn't expect that when he saw Sui Xun and just told her the matter, Sui Xun nodded in agreement - although his expression was still cold, at least it was not as ugly as the previous times.

Duan Mingchong said: "Maybe... you figured it out?"

Sui Yan thought about it carefully and then remembered what he had forgotten to tell Duan Mingchong.

"You are so lucky." Sui Yan glared at him and told him about how Sui Xun almost skinned him alive last night. "If it had been yesterday, my brother would have considered me a good person if he didn't look at you with a knife."

Duan Mingchong didn't expect Jiang Ning to be so insightful, and blinked in surprise.

Sui Yan said: "Since I met you, everyone has told me to turn back as soon as possible, and that I won't have a good life with you. This is the first time someone has said that to me."

He stretched out his foot and kicked the hem of Duan Mingchong's clothes, looking up and saying, "They will be getting married in a few days. You should know what to do, right?"

Duan Mingchong was somewhat helpless: "I know."

Sui Yan gave him a big gift, then he sat up with the help of the armrest and asked Haitang to pack his things.

The two of them had lunch at the Marquis's mansion before saying goodbye to Sui Xun and leisurely entering the palace.

After Sui Yan entered the East Palace, he openly moved all the boxes containing his underwear into the main hall of the East Palace.

The palace maids' legs went weak when they heard his order, and they looked at Sui Yan with shock. But when they saw that Duan Mingchong did not stop them, their expressions softened even more. They did not dare to say anything for a moment, and just went to move the things without complaint.

It took them more than an hour to put everything away. Sui Yan didn't want to take a nap, so he dragged Duan Mingchong, who had nothing to do, to the Yu Garden to cut flower branches.

He stuffed the scissors into his sleeve and pretended to admire the snow scenery as he walked towards the plum garden.

Duan Mingchong followed him and said helplessly: "I thought only Lu Shu would like to cut flower branches for fun. You are so old now, why are you still like when you were a child?"

Sui Yan was walking in front, but when he heard this, he turned around and walked backwards, saying, "Don't you know the saying among the people?"

Duan Mingchong said: "Hmm? What did you say?"

Sui Yan winked at him and said, "I picked some flowers to send to you to arouse your love."

Duan Mingchong was stunned, and then he understood why Sui Yan always liked to pick flowers and give them to him.

The smile on his lips widened. Just as he was about to say something, his eyes glanced at Sui Yan's back and he suddenly said, "Be careful."

Duan Mingchong reached out and grabbed Sui Yan's sleeve, forcing him back.

Sui Yan then turned around and looked forward.

Duan Zhisu came out of a side door at some point, with no one following him. His face was as pale as paper, and he was staring at Sui Yan without blinking.

Duan Mingchong said: "Third brother."

Duan Zhisu stared at Sui Yan closely, as if he didn't see him at all.

Sui Yan straightened his sleeves and bowed: "Your Highness, Third Prince, how are you?"

His lips were pale, and he looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness. When he heard Sui Yan talking, he nodded absentmindedly and said in a hoarse voice, "Forget to return..."

Sui Yan frowned. He had heard Song Xian say before that Duan Shisu seemed to be possessed by a demon. However, given his cold-hearted personality, he would not feel too sad even if he regretted the past.

Now looking at Duan Zhisu's expression, why does he seem to be worrying too much?

Duan Zhisu tilted his head and coughed a few times, then said in a hoarse voice, "Wang Gui, I have something to tell you."

Sui Yan didn't understand, and said, "Okay, I have time."

Duan said solemnly: "Speak alone."

Sui Yan frowned, raised his head and looked at Duan Mingchong, then said, "Let's talk about it here."

Anyway, Duan Zhisu also knew about his relationship with the prince, and Sui Yan was too lazy to hide it. He reached out and grabbed Duan Mingchong's hand, shook it towards Duan Zhisu, and said, "You, tell us alone."

Duan Zhisu: “…”
