Chapter 83 Stealing Fragrance

Duan Mingchong noticed something was wrong with him the first time he saw him, but he was angry and didn't want to talk to him. Now seeing him acting so pitifully, he almost laughed out of anger.

But Sui Yan actually followed that madman Duan Ruwang away without any warning, and was left alone in this wilderness like this. Even if Duan Mingchong had a good temper, he couldn't quell his anger by showing off his coquettishness.

Duan Mingchong said coldly: "I see, go back home and let your miracle doctor treat you."

And treat your brain at the same time.

Duan Mingchong forced himself to hold back the last sentence.

Sui Yan curled his lips.

Although Duan Mingchong spoke so coldly, his hand was more gently around his waist, and he took Sui Yan back to the city with a cold face and without saying a word.

After a while, the two finally arrived at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.

Duan Mingchong got off his horse expressionlessly. Just as he was about to raise his hands to hug Sui Yan, the door of the marquis's mansion suddenly opened and Sui Xun walked out with a sullen face.

Duan Mingchong was stunned, his hands frozen in mid-air, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should hug Sui Yan.

Sui Yan was extremely anxious, fearing that Sui Xun would say something inappropriate to Duan Mingchong. However, he was too confused to jump off the horse, so he could only reach out to Duan Mingchong and whispered, "Your Highness, get me down quickly."

Duan Mingchong shyly turned his head and wanted to hug Sui Yan, but Sui Xun quickly walked down the stairs, raised his hands and hugged Sui Yan down.

Duan Mingchong had no choice but to let go.

Sui Yan had a thin figure, and after coming down, Sui Xun forced him into his robe and covered his head with it to prevent him from jumping around.

Sui Yan felt that Sui Xun was suppressing his anger, and he did not dare to touch him for a moment, so he had to shrink in his arms like a quail, not daring to move.

Sui Xun clasped his fists coldly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for sending Wang Gui back."

Duan Mingchong forced a smile and said, "Ayan has a fever. General, please ask the doctor to come and take a look as soon as possible."

Sui Xun said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. It is getting late, so I will not keep you here. I hope you will forgive me."

Since he said so, no matter how stupid Duan Mingchong was, he could hear the suspicion in his tone and had to nod.

"nature."

Sui Yan moved restlessly when he heard this.

Sui Xun didn't give him a chance to speak. She looked at Duan Mingchong with sinister eyes and got on the horse reluctantly. Then she took Sui Yan in her arms and walked towards the mansion.

Sui Yan was already dizzy from the fever, and was suffocated by Sui Xun in his robe for a long time. By the time he returned to the room in the side courtyard, his face had begun to turn an unnatural red.

Sui Xun said nothing along the way. He put Sui Yan on the bed and covered him with a quilt, then said, "Where is the doctor? Go and ask him to come over."

Haitang, who was burning the charcoal brazier nearby, nodded timidly and left quickly.

Sui Yan half-leaned on the soft pillow, his eyes full of tears. Only then did he begin to feel uncomfortable, and his lips moved slightly: "Brother."

Sui Xun poured him a glass of water, held the spoon to his lips and said, "Would you like some water?"

Sui Yan walked forward listlessly and drank a few sips before shaking his head and refusing it.

Sui Xun saw that he was suffering from the fever, so he frowned and swallowed the scolding he was about to say. He reached out and touched Sui Yan's forehead, saying, "It's very hot. Does it hurt?"

If he were alone, Sui Yan would never cry out in pain even if he became a fool. But at this moment, he was a little confused because of the fever, and he almost shed tears when Sui Xun asked him such a gentle question.

He sniffed and said hoarsely, "It's very uncomfortable."

Sui Xun gently touched his cheek, feeling a little distressed: "Go to sleep first, the doctor will be here soon."

Sui Yan blinked his eyes, blinking away the bitterness in his eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "Brother, I am not good at dealing with the prince..."

Before he finished speaking, Sui Xun's face turned pale: "Do you have to tell me this now? Are you relying on me not being able to hit you?"

Sui Yan had this plan. He pulled Sui Xun's sleeve and whispered, "I am serious. I have never been so serious before. If my parents and eldest brother were still alive, they would definitely not stop me."

Sui Xun was almost amused by his anger: "Why, it's useless to say it yourself, so you use my parents and elder brother to put pressure on me?"

Sui Yan: "Cough cough cough... I'm about to vomit blood, hurry up and get me a basin to catch it!"

Sui Xun: “…”

Sui Xun then reluctantly suppressed his anger and patted his chest gently to comfort him. Seeing Sui Yan looking so weak and pitiful, he didn't know what to say.

Sui Yan looked at him weakly.

Sui Xun was silent for a long time before he said awkwardly, "Go ahead. Don't come to me crying later."

Sui Yan was delighted at once, he sat up and hugged Sui Xun's neck: "Thank you, brother. Then I won't go to the ancestral hall to complain to my parents and elder brother."

Sui Xun: “…”

Sui Xun almost rolled his eyes. He pressed Sui Yan into the quilt and scolded him, "Don't move. Aren't you uncomfortable?"

Sui Yan's face was flushed with fever, and his eyes were full of watery light, but his spirit was very good. His eyes were crooked, and his mouth was as sweet as honey: "As long as my brother is here, I won't feel uncomfortable."

Sui Xun glared at him: "Slippery tongue."

Sui Yan smiled happily.

Even though that's what I said, I still have to feel uncomfortable.

Soon Sui Yan was feverish and somewhat unconscious. He grabbed Sui Xun's hand and muttered, "Don't leave."

After so many years, Sui Xun had long been accustomed to Sui Yan's coquettish nature, and did not reject his intimate actions. Instead, she patted the back of his hand and said, "I won't leave. I'll leave when you get better."

Sui Yan held on tighter: "Even if I get better, you can't leave. The border is not a good place. Brother, don't go..."

Seeing that he was talking nonsense due to fever, Sui Xun said coldly, "Haitang, has the doctor not arrived yet?"

Haitang's voice came from outside the door: "Here I come, here I come!"

Soon, Jun Jingxing came hurriedly from outside the door with a cold look on his face. He only took one look at Sui Yan lying on the couch and his face turned ugly.

Sui Xun patted Sui Yan's hands and then stood up.

Jun Jingxing didn't have time to greet Sui Xun. He sat down on the edge of the bed and grabbed Sui Yan's wrist.

Sui Xun said, "It seems that he was blown by the cold wind and was frozen for a long time. He had a fever half an hour ago."

Jun Jingxing nodded and said hoarsely, "I know, Haitang, go get some wine and boil some hot water."

Haitang ran away in a hurry.

Jun Jingxing was already familiar with Sui Yan's illness, and he knew the source of the disease without careful investigation. He took out a row of silver needles from the small medicine box he carried with him, and tore off Sui Yan's clothes with his backhand.

Sui Xun could only sit there anxiously. Not wanting to disturb Jun Jingxing's acupuncture, he had to leave the inner room and wait in the outer room.

Jun Jingxing inserted the needle very quickly, and in a moment he had turned Sui Yan into a hedgehog.

Sui Yan was dazed and wanted to struggle, but Jun Jingxing held both his hands and coaxed him softly, "Don't move, it will be fine soon."

Sui Yan half-closed his eyes, not really recognizing anyone, and muttered in confusion, "Ming Chong."

Jun Jingxing ignored him.

When Sui Yan heard no response, he called out again.

Jun Jingxing looked pale: "Stop shouting and go to sleep."

Sui Yan: "Ming Chongming Chongming Chongming Chongming Chong..."

Jun Jingxing: “…”

Sui Yan was already unconscious, yet he still had the ability to make people so angry that they were fuming.

Jun Jingxing was helpless and had to say, "Well, it's me. Stop talking nonsense and go to sleep."

Sui Yan said: "How dare you pretend to be the prince..."

Jun Jingxing: “…”

Sui Yan said aggrievedly: "If you were really Ming Chong, you wouldn't treat me so perfunctorily..."

"He likes me so much that he won't say harsh words to me."

Jun Jingxing almost wanted to strangle him to death, but he held back and said through gritted teeth, "I'm not going to fool you. When you fall asleep, you can see the prince."

Sui Yan asked: "Is there everything in the dream?"

Jun Jingxing thought to himself, you are quite self-aware.

"Yes, everything. You can even marry him if you want."

Sui Yan's words made no sense at all, but when he heard Jun Jingxing say this, he actually found it very reasonable. He said "Oh" and lowered his eyes, then fell asleep obediently.

Jun Jingxing didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he fell completely asleep. He let go of Sui Yan's hands and wiped the sweat off his face.

At this time, Haitang hurriedly brought in a basin of hot water and placed it on the basin rack, and then handed over a dry towel.

Jun Jingxing said, "Put the strong liquor next to the charcoal basin. We will use it to wipe the body of the Marquis later."

Haitang nodded in agreement.

More than half an hour later, Jun Jingxing withdrew the needles, wiped the sweat from Sui Yan's forehead with water, and let out a breath softly.

Sui Xun had been waiting outside anxiously. When she saw Jun Jingxing coming out, she hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Jun Jingxing said, "It's nothing serious. Just rest and recuperate for a while. The weather has been cold these days, so it's best not to let the Marquis go out and travel again."

Sui Xun had been planning to lock Sui Yan up at home during the day, and when he heard Jun Jingxing say this, he naturally nodded in agreement.

Although Jun Jingxing said that everything was fine, Sui Xun was still worried and stayed by Sui Yan's bedside until midnight before Li Zhao persuaded him to go back and rest.

Sui Yan was half asleep and half awake, and he felt as if he was lying on a pile of cotton, floating so lightly that he could not touch the ground, as if he could fall down at any time.

He was scared and confused at the same time. He wanted to wake up but his mind was in a mess and he couldn't wake up no matter what he did.

Until a pair of hands gently untied his belt - the hand seemed to have been soaked in ice, and he could feel a bone-chilling chill before it even came close to his skin.

Sui Yan shuddered and became somewhat sober.

The hand gently untied the belt, and seemed to pause when pulling open the collar, and it took a long time to slowly open the shirt.

There was probably a charcoal brazier burning next to the bed, so Sui Yan didn't feel that cold. He just smelled the aroma of wine in his nostrils, and then a handkerchief soaked in strong liquor was gently rubbing his chest and neck.

The movement was very gentle, as if treating a priceless jade.

Sui Yan thought in a daze: "Is it Yue Jian? Oh, when did he become so gentle? Is his conscience acting up?"

The strong liquor rubbed on his body, taking away a lot of the heat from his body. Sui Yan only felt a burst of icy coolness and then a blazing heat like fire where the handkerchief touched.

Someone sighed softly beside his ear, and Sui Yan realized that the handkerchief had been taken away at some point.

Sui Yan was a little confused. When he heard the sound of the man throwing the handkerchief into the water, he suddenly seemed to react and his heart trembled.

That sigh just now...

It was Duan Mingchong's voice.

Knowing that Duan Mingchong was here, Sui Yan could no longer sleep. Even if he was dying, he would have sat up in shock, let alone just having a fever.

While he was struggling with his brain which was as thick as a paste, he secretly prayed that Duan Mingchong would not leave.

An unknown amount of time had passed before Sui Yan completely regained control of his heavy body. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he gently opened his eyes.

His vision blurred for a moment before he slowly took in the scene in front of him.

Duan Mingchong was sitting on the edge of the bed in a black robe, staring at him without blinking. He didn't know how long he had been sitting there.

Sui Yan looked at him for a long time before muttering, "There really is everything in dreams."

Logically speaking, Duan Mingchong would not appear in his room, so he was just dreaming now?

Duan Mingchong seemed a little embarrassed when he saw him wake up, his ears slightly red, and whispered: "You woke up? Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Sorry, I'm late."

Sui Yan didn't know what he was talking about. He thought it was probably a dream without logic, so he nodded and said, "I feel so bad. Why did you come just now?"

When Duan Mingchong heard him say that he was feeling uncomfortable and looked at his pale little face, he felt as if someone had grabbed a piece of soft flesh in his heart, making it sore and painful.

He touched Sui Yan's forehead and said softly, "Don't feel bad, I'm here."

Sui Yan's voice suddenly choked up, and he nodded: "Yeah."

Duan Mingchong heard his voice was a little hoarse, and was about to get up to get the soup, but Sui Yan grabbed his hand and placed it against his face.

"Don't leave. Now that you're here, don't leave."

Duan Mingchong was stunned, and his eyes became softer.

"good."

Sui Yan's ears were hazy and he could only hear the extremely gentle "OK".

Duan Mingchong looked at his hazy eyes and felt extremely distressed. Just as he was about to say a few more words to comfort Sui Yan, a voice like a death sentence came from the outer room.

Sui Xun asked, "Is Wang Gui feeling better now?"

Jun Jingxing was guarding in the outer room and said, "It's... it's okay. With me guarding, nothing serious will happen."

Duan Mingchong's heart suddenly rose.

Sui Yan listened to the sound that seemed to come from the horizon in confusion, but his hand kept grabbing Duan Mingchong's hand and rubbing it on his face.

"temple……"

Duan Mingchong covered his mouth with his hand and slapped him.

Sui Yan's mouth was covered and he blinked in confusion.

Sui Xun from the outer room was still talking: "Then I'll go see him."

Duan Mingchong's face turned pale.

Jun Jingxing said, "General, it is not easy for the Marquis to fall asleep. He will wake up at the slightest disturbance. It is better for you not to go in."

Sui Xun said, "I only looked at him once and left immediately."

Jun Jingxing wanted to stop him, but Sui Xun walked in without any objection.

The sound of the pearl curtains colliding was heard, and Duan Mingchong was inexplicably panicked. He looked around quickly, trying to find a place to hide.

In a flash, Sui Yan, who was originally lying on the couch in a daze, suddenly sat up, and with a flick of his hand, he knocked off the golden hook of the bed curtain. Then he hugged Duan Mingchong's waist, turned over suddenly, and the two of them rolled onto the couch together.

The bed curtains fell layer by layer, blocking the scene on the bed.

Sui Yan quickly pulled the quilt over the two of them, and only a bulge on the bed could be vaguely seen through the bed curtains.

Sui Xun just happened to walk in, and when he saw the shaking bed curtains, his brows furrowed.

Jun Jingxing chased in, and his face turned green when he saw the fallen bed curtain.

Sui Xun: "Forgotten? Are you awake?"

Sui Yan pressed Duan Mingchong under him, and sat on Duan Mingchong's waist with his legs spread apart in a daze, not quite sure what was going on for a moment.

Hearing Sui Xun's voice, Sui Yan tilted his head and stared at Duan Mingchong's frightened and flushed face.

The quilt was not covered tightly, and the candlelight leaked through the bed curtains, dimly illuminating the faces of the two people - if Sui Xun pulled open the bed curtains, he would definitely see Duan Mingchong on the bed at a glance.

Although Sui Yan's brain is not working very well now, he vaguely knows that he cannot let Sui Xun catch Duan Mingchong in his dreams, otherwise he will not be able to have an affair with Duan Mingchong.

There was no logic in the dream - or so he thought - so he just spoke directly: "I'm awake, don't come in, I'm naked."

Sui Xun felt relieved when he heard his voice which didn't seem weak at all. He walked over and said, "What's wrong with not wearing any clothes? Is it necessary to cover the bed curtain?"

Sui Yan heard the footsteps and tilted his head slightly.

Duan Mingchong was so shocked that he held his breath.

Sui Yan seemed to find it very amusing to see Duan Mingchong's pale face due to fear. He kept staring at him and was completely unaware that Sui Xun was about to lift the bed curtain.

But at the critical moment, it was Jun Jingxing who stepped forward and stopped Sui Xun.

"General, the Marquis is weak. I just wiped his whole body with strong liquor. Now it is better not to let him see the wind, otherwise his condition may become more serious."

Sui Xun didn't quite understand this, and when she heard him say it was more serious, she immediately retracted her hand that was pulling the bed curtain.

Sui Xun thought for a while before admonishing, "Then you should be quiet and sleep well. I will come to see you tomorrow morning."

Sui Yan said vaguely: "Okay."

Sui Xun gave a few more instructions before turning around and leaving.

Jun Jingxing looked at the bed curtain, turned around and ran away with a pale face.

On the couch, Sui Yan still maintained that posture, with his hands on Duan Mingchong's shoulders, as if he was addicted to looking at Duan Mingchong.

Hearing the door being closed, Duan Mingchong blushed and said shyly, "Ayan, everyone has left, you can get up now."

Sui Yan looked at him with sparkling eyes, and after a long while she smiled softly, then leaned over and kissed Duan Mingchong directly on his pale lips.

Duan Mingchong: "..."

The author has something to say: Prince: Since you are secret guards, it should not be too much to take me over the wall.
