Chapter 51 Good Show

Sui Yan shouted angrily: "Shut up! Don't say anything!"

He said this without any resentment, and said to the emperor with a pale face and a forced smile: "Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense. The Fifth Prince... probably just wants to talk to me alone... He doesn't mean that."

Gannhe fell silent immediately.

His forced cheerful explanation only made people more convinced that what Jiang Enhe said was the truth. In any case, Duan Mingchong's face darkened.

Emperor Beilan had always known that his son was extremely lustful and he knew a little about what happened on a daily basis, but he was more tolerant of Duan Xichen because of Concubine Ning and simply turned a blind eye. However, he had never thought that Duan Xichen would be so bold as to covet the son of a court official, and the son of a young marquis who was personally appointed by him.

Emperor Beilan looked at Duan Xichen in disbelief, took a few quick breaths, and then slammed the armrest and said angrily: "Duan Xichen! What on earth is going on? Tell me everything!"

Duan Xichen was in a daze at this time, and didn't hear what Jiang Enhe said at all. He vaguely heard Bei Landi's question and frowned: "What do you want to tell me?"

There was a faint rustling sound in my ears.

Emperor Beilan seemed to say something else, but Duan Xichen didn't hear it clearly. He stood there and suddenly asked the attendant beside him, "Where is my incense?"

The attendant trembled and said, "Your Highness, in... in the bedroom."

Emperor Beilan said angrily: "Duan Xichen!"

Duan Mingchong said, "Father, please calm down. Fifth brother seems to be feeling unwell. Why don't we ask Doctor Meng Yu to come and take a look?"

Duan Xichen heard this and immediately said in a cold voice: "I am not feeling unwell, it is not your turn to be kind - go and get me my incense!"

The latter sentence was said to the attendant beside him.

The emperor and the prince were both here, so the attendants naturally did not dare to just obey the order and leave. Several of them knelt down in fear and lay on the ground without saying a word.

The medicine that Doctor Qian used on Duan Xichen was even more powerful than the one Sui Yan had used before. He had to light the medicine incense half of the day, otherwise he would become drowsy at best, but in more serious cases, he would become so irritable that he could do anything.

He stayed in the Yu Garden for about an incense stick of time, and actually felt a little dazed.

Emperor Beilan was so angry at Duan Xichen that his eyes turned black. He trembled and said, "Come, take him back to the bedroom and ask Doctor Meng Yu to take a look!"

The attendants following the carriage hurried forward and used their numbers to trap Duan Xichen's arms, making him unable to move.

Duan Xichen's face was filled with anger, and he could not even distinguish who was who and started to talk nonsense: "Let me go! Bring me my incense! If you stop me again, I will exterminate all nine generations of your clan!"

Emperor Beilan's face became even uglier. Exterminate all nine clans? Is this something a prince can say casually?

"Take him to the bedroom! I want to see if he is sick!"

The crowd went to the fifth prince's bedroom in a large crowd.

Sui Yan, who had watched the show from the side, lay in Duan Mingchong's arms and looked out eagerly. He was about to follow, but Duan Mingchong held him down and said lightly: "You are not allowed to follow."

Sui Yan finally found an opportunity to watch Duan Xichen's ferocious behavior. How could he miss this opportunity? He blinked and looked at Duan Mingchong flatteringly, saying, "I'm just going to take a look. I promise I won't do anything."

Duan Mingchong said, "That won't work. There's incense burning everywhere in his bedroom. What if you stay there for too long and then have an attack? Can't you think more about your own body?"

Hearing this, Sui Yan shuddered for a moment. He said cautiously, "Your Highness... When I was ill before, was I also so outspoken and ready to kill people as soon as I opened my mouth?"

Duan Mingchong didn't throw him out but kept him in the East Palace to take care of him for so long. He really has a good temper.

Duan Mingchong smiled helplessly and said, "You were much more obedient than him before. Even when you had a drug addiction, you would just hug me and cry. You didn't hit anyone or want to kill anyone."

I just like to annoy people sometimes, Duan Mingchong thought, touching the scab-covered wound on his neck.

Sui Yan heaved a sigh of relief. The medicinal incense that Jun Jingxing prepared for him was different from the one used by Duan Xichen.

Sui Yan still wanted to go and take a look, so he grabbed Duan Mingchong's sleeve and shook it.

Jiang Enhe stood aside, feeling that he was redundant, and he clung to the wall and tried to escape without anyone noticing.

Duan Mingchong couldn't stand Sui Yan's harassment. He saw Jiang Enhe trying to run away with his head down. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Jiang? Where are you going?"

For some reason, Jiang Enhe was very afraid of Duan Mingchong. When he suddenly called his name, he shivered for a moment, took a few quick steps to greet him, and forced a smile: "No, no, what do you want, Your Highness?"

Duan Mingchong smiled and said, "I want to go to the Fifth Prince's bedroom to check on the situation. The young marquis is naughty and playful by nature. I am worried that he will run out and cause trouble again. Can I trouble Lord Jiang to send him back to the East Palace?"

Sui Yan said unhappily, "I don't want to go back."

Jiang Enhe didn't dare to refuse, and nodded quickly: "Okay, okay."

Duan Mingchong looked at Sui Yan with a bit of reproach, tidied up his messy hair, and said softly: "Be good, we can still drink sweet soup in the evening, otherwise..."

When he heard there was sweet soup, Sui Yan nodded immediately: "Back, back, back, right away, I'll run back, super fast!"

Duan Mingchong was amused by him. Seeing that he seemed to be able to stand steadily, he stopped supporting him and tapped his forehead, saying, "Go."

Sui Yan nodded quickly.

Duan Mingchong then led his men all the way towards the Fifth Prince's Palace.

Sui Yan's legs were weak to begin with, and without Duan Mingchong, he staggered a few steps, hopped twice on one leg, and threw himself on Jiang Enhe's back, saying, "Hurry, hurry, carry me, and let's go watch the show!"

Jiang Enhe was not strong enough and was almost pinned to the ground by him. He turned back angrily: "Didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say that he wanted you to return to the East Palace? You just agreed to it, why don't you keep your word?!"

Sui Yan put his arms around his neck, jumped onto Jiang Enhe's back, and said speechlessly: "You believed me just to coax him, let's go, as long as he doesn't find us, I still have sweet soup. And don't you want to see the domineering Duan Xichen in his wolfish state?"

Jiang Enhe thought about it and immediately hit it off with Sui Yan.

"Okay, let's go."

Gann and others proved that a common interest can make two people reconcile;

And if there are people who share the same hatred, they can let go of their prejudices, turn into warriors and carry this crap on their shoulders again.

Jiang Enhe walked towards the Fifth Prince's bedroom with a sigh. Sui Yan said leisurely on his back, "You reacted well just now. The Emperor wanted to just fool around and keep the peace. But when you said this, the Emperor's face turned green. I don't know if it was because Duan Xichen was too presumptuous or because he was angry because you caught him in the act."

Jiang Enhe panted and said, "How dare you criticize His Majesty?"

Sui Yan said unhappily, "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up - hey hey hey! Don't go in here, we will definitely be seen if we go in. I know there is a long corridor in the palace next door. Let's sneak through there and guarantee that we won't meet anyone else."

Jiang Enhe had no choice but to run to the side without complaint.

However, as soon as the two of them walked through the long corridor, they ran into Duan Zhisu and Song Xian.

Sui Yan: “…”

Jiang Enhe: "..."

Jiang Enhe shook his hands and shook Sui Yan off his back, then bowed and said, "Greetings, Third Prince."

Sui Yan couldn't stand steadily, so he held Jiang Enhe's shoulders and saluted awkwardly: "Greetings, Your Highness."

When Song Xian saw Sui Yan, he was angry and afraid, and glared at him fiercely.

Duan Zhisu looked at Sui Yan, who couldn't even stand steadily, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with your legs?"

Sui Yan said in a random voice: "It's lame, it's lame, but it won't die."

Duan Zhisu: “…”

Sui Yan was eager to see the show: "Your Highness, is there anything else? If not, we will leave first."

Duan Zhisu had no reason to keep him, so he just said, "It's okay."

Sui Yan immediately grabbed Jiang Enhe's shoulders and jumped up, urging him, "Hurry up, hurry up! Drive!"

Jiang Enhe: "..."

Jiang Enhe gritted his teeth, nodded slightly to Duan Zhisuan, and walked away sideways with Sui Yan on his back.

Sui Yan: "Do you still want to watch the show?"

Gan Enhe cursed: "Can't you behave yourself? Why didn't I know you were such a piece of shit before? You are such a jerk!"

Sui Yan: "It's not too late for you to know now——Ah!"

When leaving the corridor, Sui Yan was busy arguing with Jiang Enhe and did not look at the road for a moment, and bumped directly into the hollow wooden carvings on the archway. He was knocked back and his forehead soon became red and swollen.

Jiang Enhe: "Hahahahaha you deserve it!"

The two of them had walked a long way away, but Duan Zhisu and Song Xian could still hear them arguing.

Song Xian whispered, "Your Highness, Wang Gui just said he wanted to watch a good show. It looks like it's the Fifth Prince's bedroom. Should we go see what's going on?"

Duan Zhisu shook his head: "No need."

Song Xian wanted to say something but stopped.

"If you want to go, go ahead. Don't worry about me."

Before Song Xian wanted to say something, Duan Zhisu had already walked away.

Song Xian stood there in a daze for a moment, but in the end, his desire to join in the fun got the better of him. He nodded slightly at Duan Zhisu, turned around and chased after Sui Yan.

There was a cluster of flowers outside the Fifth Prince's bedroom. It was already March, and the flowers were in full bloom with various colors. Sui Yan and Jiang Enhe picked a few flowers and put them on their heads to hide their figures. They secretly peeked through the window frame, revealing their two eyes and stared inside intently.

Song Xian also picked a few flowers and put them in her hair, then came over quietly.

Sui Yan was watching intently when Song Xian suddenly appeared and almost frightened him so much that he screamed and trembled all over, and the flower on his head lost several petals.

Song Xian yelled at him.

The same hobby, the same purpose, means we are one family.

Sui Yan rarely argued with him, so the three of them continued to look inside in an obscene posture while clinging to the window frame.

In the bedroom, Doctor Meng Yu was already taking the pulse. He looked at Duan Xichen's face thoughtfully, and probed back and forth many times before he put his hand down, stood up and walked outside, bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince is... addicted to drugs."

Emperor Bei Lan was sitting on a chair in the outer room drinking tea. Hearing this, his hands trembled: "Drug addiction? What drug addiction?"

Doctor Meng Yu explained the matter of the medicinal incense in detail, saying: "Look at the Fifth Prince, he has used too much medicinal incense, which has led to his addiction. The medicinal incense is extremely overbearing. If he gets rid of the addiction, his whole mind may collapse."

Emperor Beilan took a deep breath and said in a cold voice: "Prince, where is the doctor who treated Xiaowu now? Let him come to see me."

Duan Mingchong bowed slightly and said, "Yes."

Outside the window, Sui Yan whispered, "Drug addiction, drug addiction, they say you can become a fool if you don't have it."

Jiang Enhe: "What kind of medicinal incense is so strong? I still have it burning in my house. I will put it out as soon as I get home."

Song Xian: "I, I, I'm going to die too."

Sui Yan glanced at them and said, "You coward, that kind of calming incense benzoin is not addictive. I've told you so many times that if you're ugly, you should just go read more books."

Jiang En and Pei: "Then why do I hear that you never study, and you still have the nerve to criticize us?"

Sui Yan: "Of course it's because I'm good-looking. If you could grow up like me, someone would take care of you even if you lay down - hey, you just said that I gained weight, is that true? It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has taken really good care of me. I want to stay in the East Palace and never leave."

Jiang Enhe: “Ha!”

Song Chonghui: “Bah!”

While the three men were fighting, Doctor Qian was brought in by the palace servants. He staggered to his knees and saluted, saying tremblingly, "I, the humble servant, pay my respects to Your Majesty and Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Emperor Bei Lan asked coldly: "What kind of medicine did you give the Fifth Prince? Why did he become addicted?"

It was the first time that Doctor Qian met the emperor. He was so frightened that his hands were shaking. He bowed his head and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness was poisoned by a rare snake venom. If the poison is not removed, he will die of systemic exhaustion within a few months. I used some tiger and wolf medicine... to fight poison with poison..."

Emperor Bei Lan slammed the table and said angrily: "Fighting poison with poison! Then why didn't you tell me that the medicine used in the treatment is addictive?!"

If he had known that this medicine could affect people like this, Emperor Bei Lan would never have used this kind of powerful medicine on Duan Xichen. If he had waited a little longer, perhaps some other quack doctor would have been able to cure Duan Xichen without any harm.

Outside the window, Jiang Enhe took out a sachet from his sleeve, which contained cooked peanuts wrapped in snowflake sugar. He carefully gave a handful to the two of them and whispered, "Be careful when chewing, don't let anyone hear you. Hey, if I had known you were going to join in the fun today, I would have brought preserved fruits. Let's eat the ones that don't make any sound."

Sui Yan and Song Xian pinched a pill and stuffed it into their mouths: "Crunch, crunch..."

Jiang Enhe: "Tsk, tsk, tsk! I told you to keep your voice down!"

Sui Yan: "Stop making noise, we're about to reach the most exciting part!"

Jiang Enhe: "..."

Song Xian: "Grilla... Hey Wanggui, why do I feel like there's something wrong with that miracle doctor? It seems like he's been secretly watching the prince?"

Sui Yan: "Crackle, crackle... The prince is handsome, I'd like to watch him too if it's mine."

Jiang Enhe: "..."

Jiang Enhe was so angry that he stuffed a handful of peanuts into his mouth and started crunching them.

Anyway, they would catch three at a time, and if they were to die, they would die together. He was not worried.

Doctor Qian was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and was speechless for a while.

Bei Lan Di tightly grasped the cup, threw it to the ground, and said angrily: "Speak!"

Doctor Qian was so frightened that he dropped his forehead to the ground, kowtowed in fear, and said tremblingly: "But I have already explained the pros and cons to His Royal Highness the Prince who asked me to come, but His Royal Highness said that there is no need to worry about it and just need to treat it."

Sui Yan, Song Xian, Jiang Enhe: "Wow!"

Crunch.

Duan Mingchong was closer to the window, and was attracted by the rustling sounds of mice stealing food. He turned his head and found three heads full of flowers hiding behind the window frame.

Duan Mingchong: “…”

Sui Yan was staring at the miracle doctor and didn't realize that his sweet soup was gone, and he was still making a crunching sound.

Emperor Bei Lan was so angry at these words that his hands were shaking. He took a few breaths before he said in a sharp voice, "Who is it? Which prince is so bold as to do this?!"

Duan Mingchong finally came to his senses and quickly appeased the emperor: "Father, please calm down."

At first, Duan Mingchong was the doctor who was solely responsible for treating Duan Xichen. Emperor Beilan was the first to doubt him. He slapped his hand away and pointed at the miracle doctor, shouting angrily: "Tell me! Who is it?!"

The miracle doctor was already old, and was frightened to the point of paralysis. He knelt on the ground, hesitating for a long time before he spoke with great difficulty.

"Yes, yes...His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

Sui Yan, Song Xian, Jiang Enhe: "Wow! What a show!"

Duan Mingchong, who heard it clearly, said: "..."

This group of people who like to watch the fun and stir up trouble seem to have too much free time.
