Chapter 47 Relief

Duan Mingchong finally did not touch Shun Yan's waist, and Shun Yan was so angry that he returned to the mansion the next day without saying a word to him.

It has been more than half a month since I last returned to the mansion. The peach tree in front of the door has slowly sprouted buds. Sui Yan got off the carriage and was furious when he saw the branches of flowers. He thought to himself, I worked so hard to cut the branches for you, but you wouldn't even touch my waist.

When Haitang heard that Sui Yan had returned, she hurried out to greet him. Before she could say anything, she heard Sui Yan coldly say, "Cut down this peach tree for me."

Haitang: “…Ah?”

Sui Yan said, "You dare to invite the Peach Blossom Fairy to fall at the door? What? Do you still want the Fairy to guard the door for us?"

Haitang didn't know that her young master was so superstitious, but seeing the anger on his face, she didn't dare to touch him and nodded quickly.

Sui Yan snorted coldly and walked into the mansion in a swaying manner.

The servant beside him was vexed and said, "Haitang, didn't the young master personally move this tree here and plant it a few years ago? Why is he chopping it down now?"

Haitang rubbed her brows and said, "It's okay, just leave it alone. When the young master calms down, he'll forget about it."

He gave some instructions to the servants and then followed them into the mansion.

Sui Yan went to the side yard with a gloomy face.

The weather is great today, there are signs of spring, even the wind is warm.

Jun Jingxing was drying herbs in the yard. He rolled up his wide sleeves, sat on a stool, and pounded the herbs with a pestle. Two rabbits were nesting nearby, eating grass leisurely.

Sui Yan walked over with a gloomy face and stood beside Jun Jingxing.

Jun Jingxing looked up and saw him coming back. He asked in surprise, "Why are you back?"

Sui Yan glanced at the medicinal fragrance that Jun Jingxing was preparing in his hand, and suddenly became even angrier. He thought to himself, I dared to drink strong drugs and get addicted to drugs for you, but you even refused to touch my waist.

Sui Yan stretched out his hand towards the drying frame beside him and was about to overturn it.

Jun Jingxing saw this and quickly held his hand, begging for mercy, "Little Ancestor, I spent a lot of money to buy these medicines, please be merciful and spare them. If you have any grievances, please vent them on me."

Sui Yan was holding his breath so hard that he almost died. He stood in front of Jun Jingxing and frowned, saying, "Feel my waist and see if I have gained any weight."

Jun Jingxing didn't think too much about it. Anyway, he was grateful to God that Sui Yan didn't destroy his medicine. Not to mention touching his waist, he could even carry him to climb the mountain of Xiangguo Temple.

He stretched out his hands, measured Sui Yan's thin waist, and pinched it gently, saying: "Hmm? It seems that you have gained some weight. It seems that the Feng Shui of the East Palace is quite nourishing."

Jun Jingxing was not satisfied yet, so he touched it twice more.

Sui Yan looked at him quietly and said, "Do you like to touch me?"

Jun Jingxing froze and quickly let go of his hand. He touched his nose unnaturally: "Not bad, pretty..."

He looked at Sui Yan's expression and saw that he was not angry, so he said, "It's quite soft and thin."

Sui Yan was immediately angry: "Since it's so soft and thin, why doesn't he touch my waist?!"

Jun Jingxing: “…”

Jun Jingxing: "Hmm? Hmm? Young Marquis? Young Marquis?"

Sui Yan has been feeling upset ever since Duan Mingchong tactfully rejected his suggestion to touch his waist yesterday by saying "you look like you've gained some weight".

When she went to bed at night, she was still thinking about secretly putting Duan Mingchong's hand on her waist to satisfy her urge, but Duan Mingchong said something like "My drug addiction is almost healed, it's inconvenient to sleep together", and ran back to his own bedroom to sleep. Sui Yan was so angry that he almost bit the quilt.

Sui Yan kept sneering: "Huh..."

Jun Jingxing thought that this man was probably crazy, so he reached out and pinched him.

Sui Yan immediately retracted his hand with a hiss: "What are you doing?"

Jun Jingxing said, "I just wanted to ask you, why did you come back? And you still look like a little concubine."

Although Sui Yan didn't know what the "little demon concubine look" that Jun Jingxing mentioned looked like, it was definitely not a good look. He glared at Jun Jingxing unhappily, thinking to himself, how dare you ask, it's because you made me sick.

Sui Yan had someone bring him a soft chair and placed it not far from Jun Jingxing. He leaned on it in a comfortable posture, squinting his eyes and watching Jun Jingxing making drugs beside him.

After a long time, he said, "I...I was sick again yesterday."

Jun Jingxing almost let the medicine pestle fly out, and raised his head in surprise: "Drug addiction?"

"No." Sui Yan shook his head, "I wanted to commit suicide for no reason..."

Jun Jingxing was even more frightened this time. He put the pestle aside and said, "Hand, hand, hand, give me your hand! Come here quickly!"

Sui Yan raised his hand slightly and said arrogantly: "I don't want to move, come here."

Jun Jingxing: “…”

Jun Jingxing was so angry that he wanted to ignore him, but he still wiped the herbs in his hand while cursing, stood up and walked to Sui Yan's soft chair, and put his hand on his pulse.

Jun Jingxing frowned and tried to touch her three or four times. Sui Yan finally withdrew his hand impatiently: "Even if my hands are nice to touch, you don't have to touch them for a stick of incense."

Jun Jingxing: “…”

Jun Jingxing said with difficulty: "If I had never made a mistake in taking a pulse, I would have suspected that my medical skills were not good enough - you are actually depressed?"

Sui Yan recalled that when Doctor Meng Yu came to examine his pulse, he also mentioned this stagnation or something, but he didn't take it seriously at the time.

"But Dr. Meng Yu from the Imperial Hospital said that this doesn't seem to be a big deal," Sui Yan put down his sleeves, "and said that if you take good care of yourself, you won't have to worry about your life."

Jun Jingxing didn't expect that the lively and energetic Sui Yan would have such symptoms. He frowned and said, "It doesn't seem to be a big deal on weekdays. The worst thing is just depression. So I didn't care about it before, but now you say... you want to commit suicide..."

Then this is a big problem.

Jun Jingxing thought for a moment and said, "What did you think of that made you suddenly want to commit suicide?"

Sui Yan immediately turned his head to the side and said hesitantly, "It's nothing."

Jun Jingxing turned his face back and said sternly, "I can't hide it. If you don't tell me, how can I heal you? This is not a physical illness, but a psychological one. Even if I have great medical skills, I can't do anything if you don't cooperate."

Sui Yan was still shy and refused to speak.

Jun Jingxing: "Sui Yan!"

Sui Yan's eyes widened: "How dare you call me by my full name? How dare you! Do you understand who you are?"

Jun Jingxing had learned from previous experience and understood that Sui Yan had no airs towards him at all and most likely wanted to change the subject.

He sneered and said, "If you don't want to tell me, that's fine. I'll just treat you blindly. I'll give you a few injections first and see what happens."

Sui Yan was stunned at once, lowered his eyes and said softly: "What are you doing? What are you doing? If you have something to say, just talk it over nicely, don't use force."

Jun Jingxing didn't buy his tricks at all, and remained stern and impartial: "Speak!"

Sui Yan hesitated for a long time before he stammered, "I...I thought that if one day you would resent me..."

Jun Jingxing frowned: "Why should I hate you for no reason?"

Sui Yan whispered: "That's why I said if."

Jun Jingxing originally thought that Sui Yan was making up an excuse to evade him, because in his opinion, he and Sui Yan did not have a relationship that could affect his mood. However, after carefully observing Sui Yan's expression, he found that he was actually serious.

Jun Jingxing said tentatively: "You, you saved me, even if you kill me later, I won't hate you."

Sui Yan raised his eyes and said hesitantly, "Is that so?"

Jun Jingxing said: "I won't lie to you."

Sui Yan said: "If I did something that would leave you with regrets for the rest of your life, would you hate me?"

Jun Jingxing didn't know what he was talking about, and he couldn't give Sui Yan a definite answer. He thought about it and chose another way to answer: "If it's not necessary, I won't say a word to someone I hate."

In the previous life, when the matter of Duan Xichen was settled, Sui Yan had advised Yue Jian, who had avenged his great hatred, several times to leave the capital and find a place to live for the rest of his life, but he refused every time.

"You are in the capital, and I am worried about your... health."

Of course, Yuejian answered like this, as a doctor.

So when Jun Jingxing said this, Sui Yan, who had been worried for two days, suddenly felt relieved.

If Yue Jian really hated him at that time, she would have let herself die long ago. Why would she have stayed with him for so long?

Sui Yan nodded, feeling completely relieved: "That's good."

Jun Jingxing said, "Don't let your imagination run wild in the future. You can even make yourself sick from thinking about these groundless things. It seems that you really have too much free time. I'll get you some medicine later. Ask the prince to boil a bowl for you to drink every day. Oh, and the tranquilizing powder I gave you before can also help relieve some of the pain."

Sui Yan didn't want to take medicine or burn incense anymore. He coughed and said, "No need for these. I already have medicine."

Jun Jingxing frowned: "Yes, there is medicine. What medicine?"

Sui Yan cleared his throat and said, "Since you asked me, I will tell you with reluctance that my medicine is too..."

Jun Jingxing covered his mouth with his hand and laughed wickedly: "Okay, I know, you don't have to say anything."

Sui Yan kicked his foot in dissatisfaction.

Jun Jingxing let go of his hand and said, "Anyway, for this kind of disease, the only way to cure it is to stop overthinking. No matter how effective other medicines are, they won't help."

Sui Yan said "Oh".

Jun Jingxing was about to get up and continue to make the medicine, but Sui Yan seemed to have seen something and suddenly grabbed his sleeve to stop him from leaving. He looked at him with a somewhat sad expression and said, "Then you have to promise that no matter what I do, you will not hate me in the future."

Jun Jingxing said helplessly: "Okay, I promise."

Sui Yan heaved a sigh of relief and said innocently, "Then... ahem, Doctor Jun, I... just accidentally kicked over the medicine next to me."

Jun Jingxing: “…”

Jun Jingxing turned his head and saw that a medicine box at Sui Yan's feet had fallen to the ground at some point, with the medicine spilled all over the floor.

Jun Jingxing was so angry that his ears were numb. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sui, Wang, Gui!"

Sui Yan immediately crossed his hands across his chest cautiously and shouted, "You just promised that no matter what I do, you won't hate me!"

Jun Jingxing laughed and said, "What? Did I say that? Why don't I remember it?"

Sui Yan: “…”

Sui Yan wondered if he was too shameless and Jun Jingxing had also picked up this bad habit.

Sui Yan kicked his legs and shrank into the soft chair, saying arrogantly: "Don't come over here! I am the person protected by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now, you should think carefully before you take action!"

Jun Jingxing looked at him coldly and said, "Who said I was going to take action? Your illness is very serious. You must have a few injections..."

He gritted his teeth and squeezed out four words: "Long, long, remember, sex."

Sui Yan flipped off the soft chair and started to run, but accidentally kicked another medicine frame with his foot, and the herbs that Jun Jingxing had been picking up for half a day fell all over the ground.

Sui Yan: “…”

Jun Jingxing: “…”

Jun Jingxing paused for a moment, "Years, forget, return!"

Sui Yan smiled awkwardly: "Well... I'm going back to the East Palace for dinner, so I won't stay any longer..."

Jun Jingxing laughed in anger, took a few quick steps, grabbed Sui Yan by the collar, and said with a fake smile: "Since you are here, don't go back yet."

Sui Yan: “…”
