Ji An was stunned for a moment. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something. Sui Heng, with a gloomy face, strode into the bedchamber.
Jiang Yun remained calm and composed, saying to him, “Thank you.”
The houses in the west courtyard have not been cleaned up for a long time. Ji An originally wanted to find a room closer to the outside, but Jiang Yun said, “The one inside will do.”
That was the room where Gao Gong had led Jiang Yun to live when he first came over. Jiang Yun remembered that there was a bookshelf inside where he could read books.
Ji An felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart. Although he didn’t know why Jiang Yun had offended Sui Heng, Jiang Yun had a good temper and was elegant. He treated them, servants very well on a daily basis. Ji An tried to comfort him, saying, “Young Master, rest assured that His Highness can be a bit of a bull’s-eye sometimes. After two days, he will be fine. If you have any needs, just give orders to this old servant.”
Jiang Yun was actually indifferent.
Moreover, this time it is different from before. The relationship between him and Sui Heng is not a trivial matter. Rationally speaking, it was already the end of benevolence and righteousness for Sui Heng, the Crown Prince of a country to not directly kill him.
Their “dewy fate” is about to come to an end.
“Thanks so much.”
Jiang Yun politely thanked him.
Ji An and Gao Gong led the palace attendants to clean the room, fearing that Jiang Yun would be cold at night. They also prepared hot water and charcoal pots. Gao Gong personally went again and brought Jiang Yun’s laundry clothes.
After leaving the west courtyard, Ji An couldn’t help but say, “It’s such a cold day, and it’s raining again. What to do if he gets sick from freezing? Wasn’t it still His Highness who will be heartbroken?”
Gao Gong asked him to say fewer words.
After everyone left, Jiang Yun changed into clean clothes and moved the lamp to the table. He still took a book from the bookshelf and sat down at the table to flip through it.
After all, the room had not been inhabited for too long, and at first it was fine. After sitting for a while, Jiang Yun felt cold. He didn’t want to get sick at this time, so he put down his book, took out a blanket from the bed, unfolded it, wrapped it around his body, and sat down at the table to continue reading.
He had just read two lines, and a cold laugh came into his ears and a faint voice wafted: “You treat yourself quite well.”
Jiang Yun turned his head and saw a tall shadow printed on the window, not knowing when he came or how long he had been standing here.
Jiang Yun stood up and opened the window, and indeed, he saw Sui Heng standing outside with a gloomy face. His shirt and robe were still wet. It was obvious that he had not taken a shower or changed clothes.
He can’t help but wonder: Hasn’t he just gone into the room? Why does he look like he got caught in heavier rain?
Jiang Yun asked, “Why did Your Highness come?”
Sui Heng didn’t look at him and said, “This is Gu’s territory. Gu can go wherever he wants, it’s none of your business.”
He turned his head, glanced at the blanket on Jiang Yun’s body, sneered, and left without saying a word.
Jiang Yun inexplicably saw his figure completely disappear, so he closed the window and ignored it.
“Gu won’t come again.”
Jiang Yun had just sat down when he heard another sentence floating outside the window.
When Jiang Yun looked up, Sui Heng had already disappeared.
Ji An and Gao Gong waited anxiously outside the courtyard when they saw Sui Heng come out, they quickly go over to hold the umbrella for him.
Just now, Sui Heng suddenly came out of the room and sat on the roof. After it rained heavily for a while, he suddenly headed straight towards the west courtyard. They thought Sui Heng had figured it out and came to pick him up, but to their surprise, Sui Heng only stood outside the window for a while without even entering the door. At this moment, his face became even more gloomy than when he entered.
Sui Heng said, “Bring Gu’s sword over.”
Ji An thought he was going to kill people, and he was pale in fear. Unexpectedly, Sui Heng gave him a cold glance and said, “Gu wants to practice swords.”
Ji An glanced at the dense raindrops falling from the sky and didn’t dare to say anything. He quickly went to fetch the sword himself.
The rain pattered all night, and Sui Heng practiced his sword all night in the yard while also cutting a stone table. After practicing, he still sat on the roof in a daze. Ji An and Gao Gong stood nervously in the corridor, silently watching, not daring to make a sound.
Of course, there was more than that. Sui Heng even ran to the inn where Jiang Yuping stayed with a gloomy face in the middle of the night, grabbed the two Kunjun from the bed, and removed their robes. Startled, Jiang Yuping couldn’t even put on his clothes and kneeled down on the ground.
Jiang Yun is fine, it’s just that he woke up the next day with a slight cough.
But this is not a big problem, just endure it, and it will pass.
Ji An asked someone to send him toiletries and breakfast on time. Jiang Yun ate less than half a bowl of congee and still sat down and read the book. Because the window was open, the wind blew, and he could not help but cough twice.
After coughing, he heard a sentence coming from outside: “Don’t think that Gu will feel sorry for you if you do this.”
As soon as he looked up, he saw that Sui Heng had come at some unknown time.
Last night, didn’t he say that…
“Gu just have to pass by here, there won’t be another time.”
Sui Heng said with a gloomy face.
Jiang Yun speculates that he is always unpredictable, his behavior is unpredictable, and he is probably really making an important decision.
He nodded and didn’t say anything.
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, the figure in front of him flickered, and Sui Heng flipped through the window and entered directly.
He was still wearing the wet clothes from last night and looked at Jiang Yun expressionlessly before suddenly saying, “Take off your clothes.”
Jiang Yun looked at him in shock.
Now in broad daylight, the window is still open.
Sui Heng said, “Take it off.”
Jiang Yun didn’t know what he wanted to do, but his expression was a bit off, and his mental state was clearly abnormal
Jiang Yun gritted his teeth and put down his book, going to close the window.
“No need.”
“There’s no one else here.”
“Take off now, take off immediately.”
Jiang Yun couldn’t bear it anymore and said, “Don’t go too far.”
The corner of Sui Heng’s mouth coldly tugged, “Is it you or Gu who has gone too far? If you don’t take it off, Gu will throw you in the front yard to take it off.”
Jiang Yun was helpless and didn’t want to argue with an unreasonable lunatic. He could only endure his shame, untie his jade belt, and take off his outer and inner robes one by one.
Sui Heng walked to the back, his gaze locked on the pale pink scar on his lower back. After a while, he gently pressed his fingertips on it and asked, “Say, how many men have you ever been with?”
He had rough fingertips, and he deliberately rubbed them hard.
Jiang Yun knew he intended to humiliate him and said calmly, “I can’t remember clearly.”
Sui Heng’s expression suddenly became ferocious.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After a while, he said, “Did you take the initiative and be as enthusiastic as when you were with Gu?”
This person is really taking advantage and becoming increasingly shameless.
Jiang Yun turned around and stared at him angrily.
Sui Heng sneered, “Why? You have already done it, but you’re afraid when Gu said it?”
“Turn around, don’t look at Gu.”
Jiang Yun indeed stopped looking at him and remained silent for a while, saying, “I haven’t had any relationship with anyone else besides you. Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”
Sui Heng also fell silent.
He couldn’t distinguish between joy and anger and said, “Have or not, only you know in your own heart. Even if you lie to Gu, Gu won’t be able to find out.”
“Then you can just pretend it happened ba.”
Jiang Yun completely didn’t want to talk to him anymore, he picked up his clothes and wanted to wear it.
Sui Heng snatched them away.
“Did Gu allow you to wear it?”
Jiang Yun couldn’t bear it anymore and asked, “What exactly do you want?”
“Gu doesn’t know either. Anyway, Gu’s heart just doesn’t feel happy. You deceived and used Gu. Gu knew that Gu should have killed you, but Gu couldn’t do anything about it. Even now, Gu was still being seduced by your beauty. What should he do?”
His gaze fell on the scar once again, and uncontrollable sourness and anger surged in his chest.
If only there were another Tian Meng to make him unload eight pieces, Sui Heng thought.
He didn’t mind that his lover had a history of affairs, he just couldn’t accept, for a moment, that he’d had s*x with so many people. And as Tian Meng said, he is long on commitment and good at playing with people’s feelings for his own benefit. He is afraid, sincerity cannot be exchanged for sincerity, and he was also playing with his feelings.
The most important thing is that he is not an ordinary Kunjun, but an assassin and meticulous worker cultivated by Qingque Terrace. Even if he really escaped from the Qi capital, who knows if he was instructed by others to come undercover by his side?
That first encounter in the mountain that day was such a coincidence, even if he later volunteered to leave, who knows if it was just a trick? And there was also a rare and potent drug like Qin Gu Xiang…
He’s the Crown Prince of a country. He has been surrounded by a spy, and he was even directly sent to his pillow as well. If he speaks out, he’s afraid that people will laugh at him too.
Sui Heng’s mind is very confused.
Even the seven days trapped in the snowy mountains in the northern region were never so chaotic.
Jiang Yun understood all his confusion and didn’t want to dwell on it with him pointlessly. He said, “I got into the Qingque Terrace by accident. Even my parents and family didn’t know about it. I didn’t mean to hide it from you, I just didn’t want to mention it. I haven’t taken that kind of medicine, nor have I had any intimate relationships with any high-ranking officials. I blinded Tian Meng’s eye and escaped. I was in his hands… I’ve suffered some hardships, so I hate him and want to kill him. But with my own strength, I can’t do it, and I can only rely on your strength. I’m sorry.”
“As for our meeting, it was really just an accident. When I said I wanted to leave, it also wasn’t meant to deceive you. If you… want to know anything else, I can tell you.”
It’s actually impossible. Jiang Yun thought to himself.
At least his true identity, he can’t say it.
In this relationship, it is ultimately him who is more sorry for him.
Jiang Yun sighed and said, “The reason why you are in pain is because your doubts are not proven, and you cannot let go of me…”
Sui Heng immediately retorted, “Who can’t let go of you?”
Jiang Yun nodded and said, “If not, naturally it would be best. In fact, for Your Highness, the most straightforward solution is to kill me. This way, Your Highness’s no longer needs to doubt, worry, or suffer.”
“I am afraid of pain and blood, and I don’t like swords, nor do I like things like white silk ropes either. Your Highness just give me a cup of poison ba.”
He has begun to carefully choose his own way of dying.
Sui Heng suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
In fact, when he stood outside the window last night and saw him sitting alone under the light reading a book, he had already begun to feel uncomfortable.
Because the first day he moved into the mansion, he sat in the same position and read in the same posture. He personally carried him out, promising to take a good care of him and not let him suffer any injustice.
He knew that Qingque Terrace would not be a good past or a good memory. And he should have suffered a lot, that’s why he could calmly make the gesture of begging for death every time.
However, his innate pride and arrogance make it difficult for him to accept such deception at once. If everything is fake, then the Wei Kingdom, Wei’s people, and even the name Chu Yan, aren’t they are also fake?
If one day he suddenly disappears, he doesn’t even know where to find him.
“If you want to die, it depends on Gu’s mood. It’s not your turn to choose.”
Sui Heng ultimately walked away with a merciless expression on his face.
Jiang Yun knew he needed time to calm down and didn’t say anything more. He put on his clothes and continued to sit at the table, reading.
Jiang Yun felt a bit guilty because he once again tested his bottom line and knew he was not willing to kill him.
After leaving the west courtyard, Sui Heng saw Fan Qi squatting outside.
Sui Heng frowned and said, “What are you doing here?”
There were rumors circulating in the mansion, and although Jiang Yun had only contracted a cold and coughed twice, when it reached Fan Qi’s ears, it had turned into vomiting blood.
Fan Qi stood up and looked at Sui Heng, saying in a muffled voice, “Your Highness, to be frank, has gone too far this time.”
Sui Heng suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
“What did you say?”
Fan Qi, who had always been bold, was filled with anger for a moment and said, “He vomited blood and was on the verge of death. Even if Your Highness is not satisfied, you should not withhold his food and medicine and even drive him to live in a cold room. He is not allowed to cover with the quilt, use charcoal fire, and Your Highness also make him stand in the yard in the rain, and not letting him see a physician. Aren’t Your Highness… intentionally torturing him?”
“You were the one who brought him back in the beginning, and now you are also the one who wants to torture the person to death. If you had known this, why would you bring him back?”
Sui Heng took a deep breath and said, “Who said I didn’t allow him to be covered with the quilt, not give him charcoal fire, and even let him get wet in the rain?”
He was clearly the one who got wet in the rain all night last night.
Fan Qi frowned and said, “Everyone in the mansion knew about it a long time ago. Does Your Highness still need this subordinate to say it?”
Not only is it well known in the private courtyard, but this news, which was considered outrageous by Sui Heng, somehow even reached the ears of the Empress and Empress Dowager.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, in a rare move to turn enemies into friends, called Sui Heng to the palace and scolded him in a bloody manner. The Empress Dowager was also agitated to send people to bring Jiang Yun to live in the palace.
Sui Heng returned with a gloomy face and asked Ji An and Gao Gong, “Are you guys the ones who chewed your tongues in front of Empress Mother and Imperial Grandmother?”
The two men cried out that they had been wronged.
Sui Heng laughed coldly, but before he could react, Chen Qi arrived.
Chen Qi came to report to Sui Heng about Meng Hui’s family being kidnapped. After hearing this, Sui Heng simply said he understood and waved his hand to let him retreat.
Chen Qi already knows that Jiang Yun was behind this, but Jiang Yun also found out about his assassination plan, so Chen Qi dared not act rashly and expose it in front of Sui Heng.
Chen Qi was just a bit surprised by Sui Heng’s reaction.
He dared not ask more questions and respectfully retreated.
At night, Jiang Yun had a severe cough.
Lying silently under the bed curtains, he suddenly felt a figure coming from behind, pressing against his back and slowly embracing him from behind.
Jiang Yun said, “What are you doing?”
“What do you think?”
The other party is straightforward and outspoken.
“Gu afraid that you’ll die of illness and ruin Gu’s reputation, so Gu came over to confirm.”
Jiang Yun pushed his hand away.
Sui Heng frowned and said, “What are you doing?”
Jiang Yun said, “I’m dirty. It’s better if Your Highness does not to touch me.”
Sui Heng: “……”
