This time Jiang Yun couldn’t sleep anymore.
After waiting for a long and even breath to sounds, he turned around and looked at the handsome and cold face of the other party in the dim light.
After the meeting was just concluded, Emperor Sui kept his son alone and spoke for a long time before Sui Heng came out.
Jiang Yun thought to himself, Emperor Sui must have seen through something.
After all, outsiders do not understand Sui Heng’s temperament. As a father, Emperor Sui should have some understanding. Talking about sending his own little concubine to do that, what a ridiculous and absurd reason. Fortunately he could also come up with it.
But it was enough to deal with those foreign ministers.
He didn’t know what Emperor Sui had said, but in retrospect, even if he trusted and indulged the Crown Prince, Sui Heng, there should still be some warning words. Therefore, when he returned, he became restless again.
He threatened to interrogate him.
Although he didn’t know what he was up to, Jiang Yun was a bit unsure whether he could remain calm and clear without showing any hint in the face of his unpredictable and repeated threats.
The only thing that comforted Jiang Yun was that in the past two days, he felt a fine heat flow occasionally flowing through his meridians. Although it was very mild and weak, it was a good signal.
As the Qing Gu Xiang gradually dissipated, his internal strength finally showed signs of recovery. It may be slow, but ultimately, there’s a hope.
Jiang Yun couldn’t help but extend his finger and quietly poke the tip of Sui Heng’s nose.
A very light one.
To avoid waking him up.
They really have the weirdest relationship in the world. One moment, they can sleep together, and the next moment, they may face each other in battle and become mortal enemies.
Sui Heng was disturbed, naturally, not only because of the civil service officials’ attack and Emperor Sui’s warning, but also because, as his emotions gradually calmed down, he began to pick up some things he had overlooked and ponder them over again.
For example, regarding Meng Hui’s family.
The death of Tian Meng and the loss of Meng Hui’s family almost all occurred at the same time.
If nothing had happened to Tian Meng, he would not have been in a state of turmoil, nor would he have concentrated all his troops to search the mountain. Perhaps Meng Hui’s family would not have escaped so easily.
He instinctively avoided the relationship between them but couldn’t control himself from thinking about it.
The next morning, Sui Heng summoned Chen Qi directly and asked, “What is the Military Advisor’s opinion on the incident of Meng Hui’s family being robbed?”
The musician froze.
Strangely, Sui Heng was still remaining indifferent two days ago, why did he suddenly bring up this matter again?
In other words, Chen Qi would naturally analyze the cause, process, and suspicious aspects of the event without reservation. But this time, it’s different. To a certain extent, the “robbery” of Meng Hui’s family belongs to the theft of his own property, and he was also involved.
He doesn’t want to expose the musician’s identity.
Even if Sui Heng trusts him again, he may not be able to tolerate him hiding a delicate piece of Qingque Terrace by his side.
Moreover, that Chu Yan has already penetrated his secret. Although he didn’t know why the other party wanted to rescue Meng Hui’s family, whether he had some connection with the Jiang Empire or whether he had received Meng Hui’s favor in the past, he was currently being favored, and he dared not take the risk of tearing his face with the other party. Since the other party kept the “gentleman’s promise” and didn’t reveal the identity of the musician, he did not want to initiate conflicts before making full preparations.
Chen Qi chose to kneel down and apologize.
“The minister was negligent and did not take precautions.”
Sui Heng glanced at him and suddenly smiled, saying, “This doesn’t seem like how the Military Advisor handles things.”
Chen Qi was taken aback for a moment, and sweat oozed from his back. He said, “The minister is willing to receive punishment.”
“No need.”
“Gu is not an unreasonable person.”
Sui Heng waved his hand and asked Chen Qi to retreat.
Chen Qi couldn’t help feeling a little restless in his heart. Once again, he couldn’t help but think about who this Chu Yan was. He repeatedly sabotaged his plan, but there was nothing he could do about it.
The musician stood silently in front of the carriage, waiting for him. Seeing his ugly face, he whispered, “Have I caused trouble for daren?”
“What do you think?!”
Chen Qi cursed softly, closed his eyes, calmed down for a moment, and said, “There can’t be a second time.”
When he returned in the morning, Sui Heng had someone carry a box to the West Courtyard.
Jiang Yun woke up late and was having breakfast. When he arrived, he had someone place a golden sandalwood box on the ground, which looked a bit familiar. He put the spoon down and asked, “What is in there, Your Highness?”
Sui Heng asked everyone to step back and sit down in the chair, then asked in reverse, “What do you think?”
Jiang Yun thought for a moment and looked at him sitting upright, looking like he was looking for trouble. He asked, “Your Highness is here to interrogate me?”
“If you know it’s good.”
“Eat quickly, Gu doesn’t have much patience.”
He had a cold face, showing his ruthlessness.
Jiang Yun stood up and pushed the bowl aside, saying, “How can I make Your Highness wait? How does Your Highness plan to interrogate?”
Sui Heng looked at the congee that had most of the bowl left over and hadn’t eaten more than a few bites at all and frowned, but he didn’t say anything at all, but raised his eyebrows and swept at the box.
“Choose a sample.”
Jiang Yun was puzzled and walked over to open the box. Seeing what was inside, his ears were hot, and he looked at him in disbelief.
Sui Heng admired his expression and said, “What’s wrong? The interrogation hasn’t started, and you’re already afraid?”
This box is exactly the one that Sui Heng brought back from the palace of the Chen Kingdom. It was presented by the Guozhu of the Chen Kingdom as “utensils.” He thought it was a simple daily necessities, without much thought, he had it loaded into a cart. Unexpectedly, when the palace attendants were tidying up the room these days, it was dug out again.
Only then did he realized that the tools that the old pervert was talking about were not ordinary daily necessities, but some special tools.
Jiang Yun closed the box and said, “I don’t like these.”
Sui Heng sneered, “It’s Gu who will interrogate you, it’s not you who will interrogate Gu. What does it have to do with Gu whether you like it or not? You must choose one.”
Jiang Yun turned around and sat back at the table, ignoring him.
Sui Heng frowned.
“At such times, do you think I’m going to let you get away with this?”
Jiang Yun said calmly, “You can interrogate me, but you cannot humiliate me.”
Sui Heng was taken aback.
The last time he saw such a cold expression on Jiang Yun’s face was when he first met him in the mountain.
He felt a bit frustrated, he felt that this lover had not spoken a half-truthful word in front of him and had not fully understood his difficulties. He laughed coldly and couldn’t help but yawn. “Gu knows what you’re afraid of.”
Jiang Yun looked up at him, “What am I afraid of?”
Sui Heng remained calm and said, “You’re probably very familiar with these things. You’re afraid that Gu will know. You’re very good at using them, no wonder you can guide Gu to open the mechanism in the palace of the Chen Kingdom.”
“……”
Jiang Yun fell silent for a moment and said, “That’s right, I’m very familiar with them all and good at them. Your Highness, should I tell you one by one how to use them?”
“There’s no need!”
Sui Heng’s face was instantly gloomy, to the point of dripping water.
He called the palace attendants and pointed to the box, telling them not to open and destroy the box and its contents without leaving any residue.
He sat in the chair with a calm face for a long time without speaking or leaving.
Jiang Yun looked at him and suddenly said, “You don’t have to force yourself.”
Sui Heng was stunned.
“What do you mean?”
Jiang Yun said calmly, “You still have a problem with that, don’t you? You don’t need to pretend to be tolerant and magnanimous. It’s normal for you to mind it. After all, I don’t even want to talk to outsiders about myself.”
Sui Heng remained silent for a while.
Jiang Yun thought that he should be annoyed and leave. Sui Heng suddenly raised his head again and said, “But you told Gu, does that mean that Gu is not an outsider to you?”
Jiang Yun was taken aback.
He didn’t expect his brain circuits to be so bizarre.
Jiang Yun got up, walked over to him, shrunk into his arms, reached out his hands, slowly encircled his neck, and softly asked, “Does Your Highness only think of this?”
Sui Heng’s brain exploded.
After a while, he straightened his face again and said, “Take your hands off.”
“Don’t tempt Gu.”
Jiang Yun did not let go but continued to bite his ear. “Your Highness, don’t interrogate me too harshly, alright?”
Sui Heng almost immediately agreed.
But he asked without showing any interest, “So how do you want Gu to interrogate you?”
“I don’t know either.”
“But I don’t like a strict approach.”
Jiang Yun replied unreasonably.
Sui Heng was about to burst into laughter. He raised his eyebrows and asked, “Do you think it would be best if Gu didn’t interrogate you?”
Jiang Yun lifted his eyes, his radiance glistening and his eyelashes slender and long.
“Is that fine?”
“Can’t”
Sui Heng’s cold face was merciless.
Sui Heng thought of a more shameless method.
He asked Jiang Yun to sit on his lap and write a confession, and if it was not well written or unsatisfactory, he would take off Jiang Yun’s clothes.
Throughout the afternoon, Jiang Yun was instructed by him to write in front of the table.
From birth, hometown, and neighborhood relationships to experiences over the years, each item needs to be carefully written down one by one. And he’s been picking on him in all sorts of ways. Before Jiang Yun could finish weaving up his childhood stories, he had already stripped him of only a silk inner garment.
Jiang Yun could only pretend to be pitiful and say, “I’m a bit cold.”
“If you’re cold, lean closer to Gu, doesn’t Gu have his arms around you?”
“I don’t feel comfortable sitting either.”
“And what do you want, for Gu to spoil you now?”
Jiang Yun turned around and gritted his teeth to look at him.
Sui Heng shamelessly brushed his fingertips over the tempting lips and said, “If you don’t write properly, Gu will make you kiss Gu’s fingers.”
“You wrote it wrong.”
He raised his eyebrows and stared at the ink mark that Jiang Yun had accidentally dropped on the paper.
Jiang Yun had his own strict standards for writing, but he didn’t want to follow them at all now. He reached out and wanted to directly erase the ink marks.
Sui Heng said, “No wiping, rewriting it.”
“If you dare to act recklessly, Gu will really have to strip you naked.”
Jiang Yun can only start over and write again.
Before he could write a few words, the other party poked his hand into his collar and acted recklessly.
Jiang Yun had to stop writing, his ears turning red, and he looked at him with embarrassment and annoyance.
Sui Heng shamelessly said, “Since it’s an interrogation, how can Gu let you write as comfortably as usual? Gu has indulged you enough by not torturing you. Don’t you know what’s good for you? Write quickly. If you dawdle any longer, Gu will really have to carry out the punishment.”
At first, Jiang Yun was able to endure it, but soon he struggled to exert his strength.
Sui Heng continued to speak sarcastically, “It turned out that Ah Yan liked Gu’s interrogation method so much.”
Jiang Yun: ……
Jiang Yun’s cheeks were also tinted a scarlet red color.
“You…”
“Don’t talk.”
Sui Heng didn’t stop causing trouble. His other hand also reached out and directly covered Jiang Yun’s hand, his tone still cold and heartless: “Ah Yan has no strength, how about Gu write with you? Ah Yan just needs to say it orally.”
“Gu is really the kindest interrogator in the world.”
The author has something to say: Jiang Jiang: Stinky! Rascal! Hooligan!
