Chapter 214: I’ve missed you so much.

I don’t know whether it was the iron barrel-like guards that made people retreat, or whether the Vacuum Cult had already taken care of itself, and wanted to find the culprit to take revenge, but also had the intention to do so, and the inside and outside of the Su Mansion was eerily calm and quiet.

Su Yan lay like a rice worm for two days and could no longer lie down.

“It’s got to be twelve today, right?” He asked.

Jing Hong corrected afterward, “Thirteen.”

“Tomorrow February 14th, the All Souls Festival!” Su Yan frowned, “According to the custom, for a month after the All Souls Festival, the penal institutions cannot see blood, so all places will conventionally rush the convicted death row inmates to be put to justice before the festival.”

A certain felonious fugitive from assassination of a state relative replied matter-of-factly, “Oh.”

“Oh what oh!” Su Yan knocked the desktop in dissatisfaction, “Do you know what I’m thinking about?”

“I know. My subordinate had already passed a note to the two Qianhu under Shen Qi yesterday, telling them to make sure to find an excuse to save Wan Xin’s life until after tomorrow. That way your lordship can operate for another month.”

Su Yan nodded: “There is also the evidence provided by Wan Xin, how is the collection and verification on the side of the Brocade Guards?”

“Almost. Your Excellency has still decided to submit? When?”

Su Yan walked in front of Jing Hongchou, looking flatly into the other party’s dark and cold eyes: ”Ah Chou, aren’t you happy? You are bent on crushing Wei Joon into pieces, it is me who has been suppressing your vengeance, and I also promised you that I would publicize Wei Joon’s crimes to the world, so that he would be put to death and be spurned by millions of people, and receive the punishment he deserves. I even boasted to you that not only would I eradicate Wei Joon, but I would also bring down the Wei Clan.

“Now, it’s time for me to fulfill my promise. But you don’t show a look of quick relief, what are you thinking?”

Jing Hongchou’s slender fingers gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

He dreamed of personally skinning the old Wei thief and tearing his bones apart, to avenge the tragic death of his sister, and to quell the poison and hatred that burned in his body day and night. As long as this blood debt was not repaid, the cries in his ears would not go away.

–If that’s the case, why is he so worried at the moment?

“Adult ……” Jing Hong chasing silent for a long time finally opened his mouth, his voice is a little dry, “Can you give the evidence to my subordinates, my subordinates go to the Shuntian government office on their own to sue.”

Su Yan shook his head, “It’s not right. You are still carrying two wanted notices on you. Besides, the prefect asked you where you got the evidence, how will you answer?”

Jing Hong couldn’t answer afterward, and a moment later added: “Then let the Northern Zhenfu Division do it, and say that it’s Wan Xin who wants a high imperial complaint to expose Wei Joon’s evil deeds.”

“Wan Xin doesn’t have the guts. Besides, to do so would be tantamount to shifting the responsibility that should be mine to the chief officer of the Northern Township Division. Qilang is still seriously injured in bed, do we want him to go to court to confront him?”

Su Yan smiled and placed his hand on Jing Hongchou’s shoulder, “Ah Chou, I know what you’re worried about. You’ve heard all the ones that Yu Wang and I discussed. You’re worried that the Imperial Master is going to defend the family for the sake of the second prince, and if I go to submit an impeachment at this moment, not only will I offend both the Imperial Master and the Empress Dowager at the same time, but I may also be treated as a head out of the gate to be fixed.”

Jing Hong pursued, ”Is my subordinate’s worry superfluous? If your lordship submits incriminating evidence to the Ministry of Justice in private, that’s all, he also intends to impeach in public. In case the dog …… emperor is determined to harbor the Wei family, your lordship’s move is not taking his own body to plug the cannon’s mouth.”

“But if we don’t impeach them now, we’ll miss a good opportunity to bring them down. If we can find evidence of collusion with the Vacuum Cult from the two marquis’ residences, it will be a definite crime of treason, and even the Empress Dowager will not be able to protect them.” Su Yan patiently analyzed, “Wan Xin once heard the marquis’ steward drunkenly say ‘the marquis has the most powerful military advisor under the sky by his side’, and also said that ‘the second prince is blessed by the immovable vacuum, and has the blessing of the son of heaven’, and these are all written in the testimony. These are all written in the testimony. But where the Imperial Master still has so much as a thought of disciplining the Wei family, he won’t turn a blind eye to it.”

Jing Hong chased after him and asked rhetorically, “Are you betting your life on the emperor’s mind?”

Su Yan said, “I’m doing what I think I should do.”

Jing Hongchu’s hand clenched on the hilt of his sword until his bones turned white, and he gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll go kill Wei Jun and Wei Yan tonight.”

Su Yan shook his head and lost his smile, ”Even if you get your hands on it, I will still be on this sparing just the same. This is no longer your personal grudge, Ah Zhui. To put it in a small way, the Wei family is a roadblock that I must defeat in my career path; to put it in a larger way, if this tumor is not removed, the crown prince will be in danger of being exhausted, and the country will be in the scourge of rebelliousness.”

Jing Hongchou understood the reasoning, but why did the one who took the risk have to be his own lord? Every time it is like this. He is only seventeen or eighteen years old, worry about more than seventy or eighty years old Shangshu, the body is not yet healed, and to go to the court with the lips as a gun, with the pen as a sword, and the danger of the court, not less than the real battlefield!

Jing Hong chased suddenly gave birth to a momentary delusion, wanting to recklessly take his adult far away, leaving the dangerous winds and waves, leaving the power struggle, to go to the two of them only belong to the calm and peaceful days.

But the delusion is after all just a cold arrow that can not see the light, in addition to poking in the bottom of his heart to bring hidden pain, and do not dare to expose in front of the adults, lest he be misunderstood to be his own selfishness to break the career of the adults.

He slowly loosened his grip on the sword, half-kneeled, and said as if making an oath, “Whatever Your Honor wants to do, do it. Even if there is a mountain of daggers in front of us, my subordinate will protect you with all my might.”

“Again, you don’t take your life as your life.” Su Yan revealed a look of disapproval, bending down to help him get up, “If it’s really a mountain of fire, you accompanying me is also the same death, it’s better to be able to live one is one.”

Jing Hongchou circled Su Yan’s waist with one arm and pressed hard into his own embrace, “Just now it was my subordinate who spoke to your lordship. Now it is A chase to …… Qinghe.” He seemed to have overcome his feelings of shame and offense to be able to spit out this epithet that had never belonged to him.

Su Yan froze slightly, then let out a light laugh, “Then what does ‘Ah Chui’ want to say to ‘Qinghe’?”

The tips of his nose touched, his breath mingled, Jing Hong chased red ears, but his expression was doubly resolute. He said in a deep voice, “I am your man. To fight for you is my right, no one can take it away-“

Su Yan was stunned.

Jing Hongchou put his heart on the line and said, “Not even for you.”

Suyan didn’t say anything.

Jing Hong chased began to panic, stuttered and changed his mouth, “Big, adult line …… how can ……”

“Shut up.” Su Yan sighed, “Don’t shut up so tight, or how can I kiss?”

–

Su Yan went out and got on the carriage, preparing to make a trip to Duanben Palace.

Duanbeng Palace on the east side of the outer court, with the waist plate given by the Prince, directly from the Donghua Gate in, much closer than from the noon gate.

Zhu Hailin went to the Culture Hall to listen to the lecture and did not return, Su Yan sat in the hall and waited for him, drinking tea and chatting with Fubao.

Fu Bao said, “Su adults have not come to the East Palace for a long time, small master always read always read. In recent times not much read, sometimes staring at the adults slept on the couch, used the tea set stare, do not know what to think about what matters, the eyes are quite scary.”

“Scary?” Su Yan couldn’t help but laugh, “Please forgive my humble self for having trouble imagining it.”

Fubao scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and changed his words, “It’s not that kind of scary, it’s …… ahem, the slave girl doesn’t know how to describe it accurately. It’s just that I feel that the little master is big and has more thoughts, sometimes even the slave girl doesn’t know what he is thinking, and that look is a bit like the royal master.”

“It’s normal to resemble, after all, they are father and son.”

Su Yan took a sip of tea and asked again, “How has the young master been in the mood for the past day or two?”

Fubo replied, “Not much of a smile, but no tantrums and smashing things either. Still …… good, I guess.” In the last three words, his tone was not very sure.

In the middle of the conversation, the crown prince returned to the palace. Outside the palace, he heard the servant say that Mr. Su has come, and he came in with a quick step, sounding in front of the people: “Qinghe! Where is Qinghe!”

When he saw Su Yan, he pulled down his face to show his dissatisfaction: “Two days ago, you had a high fever, why don’t you rest at home and run around? If there’s something you need to tell someone, I’ll go look for you.”

Su Yan learned the dog-like appearance of the personal guards and said expressionlessly, “Oh.” Then he got up and excused himself.

Zhu Hailin hurriedly pulled his wrist, “Come all the way, don’t go!” Seeing that Su Yan was unmoved, he again put his mouth to his ear and whispered, “So many palace people are watching, give little master some face.”

Su Yan snorted a smile and bowed his hand, “I, Su Yan, pay my respects to Your Highness the Crown Prince, and greet Your Highness.”

Zhu Hailin also laughed, waving his hand to dismiss the surrounding courtiers, “Go down go down, all stay away from the door of the palace, a little bit of eye candy!”

Palace people are busy to exit the hall, leaving only Cheng Sheng and Fu Bao two people to guard the door of the hall. An old and a young two eunuchs, in the door on both sides face to face hanging hands waiting standing, Cheng Sheng toward the temple pouted: “small kitchen to prepare Su adults lunch?”

Fubo thought for a moment and suggested, “How about preparing the evening meal as well?”

Inside the hall, Zhu He Lin habitually pulled Su Yan towards the couch, once the boots were off, the legs were plopped down, and all the etiquette of a ruler and courtier was not needed.

Su Yan was just about to open his mouth when Zhu Hailin leaned over to pick at his collar.

“Doing what to move your hands?” Su Yan guarded his collar while chiding in a low voice, “Stop playing around, I’m talking to you about something!”

Zhu Helin smiled, “See if the hooliganism that Little Master played last time is still there.” He relied on his own strength, hard to hold down Su Yan, pulled the lapel a little, see the bright red mark above the collarbone has long disappeared, reluctantly grinding his teeth, seems to want to take another sip.

Su Yan was annoyed, “What a time to be fooling around! Do you really not know why I came to the Eastern Palace?”

“So what if I know.” Zhu Hailin said with full concern, his eyes looking at him eagerly, “Little master has been thinking about you since he couldn’t see you, and even more so when he did. Whatever, let’s give him a kiss first.”

With that, he pressed his lips savagely together.

Su Yan knows that the Prince has always been capricious and wanton, do not let him put this addiction over the full, will only be doubly intrusive, have no choice but to let go of the mouth, with a poisoned underage sense of emptiness with him kissed a mouth.

After a tea work, Su Yan pushed the Prince, push not to use elbows and knees to protest: said kiss a mouth, the result of the dog like a gripping not to let go, but also sucked non-stop, eat milk it?

Zhu Hailin’s ribs hurt from the impact, so he could only close his mouth, panting and rubbing himself against Su Yan.

Su Yan wanted to kick him and scolded, “Is there no end to mooching?!”

“Little master pro before solicited.” Zhu Helin was full of grievances, “The one who secretly mooched off you was the Fourth King’s Uncle, I couldn’t beat him.”

“–What? When?”

“He took advantage of the fire when you passed out with a fever.”

“…… Zhu Lv even this son of a bitch, the dog can not change to eat shit!”

“That’s right, he’s a dog who goes around in heat, using the feeding as an excuse to barely eat you-“

Su Yan reacted violently, “You’re calling me a shit?”

Zhu Hailin’s mouth was quick to lose his words, and he was too busy to defend himself, “I am not! I didn’t mean …… don’t hit me …… I’m at least the crown prince!”

Su Yan turned the other way and pressed him onto the couch with the raised bone knuckles on his fists pounding, “What’s wrong with the Prince, I’ll beat up the same if I’m pissed off! If you have the ability to cut my head ah?”

Zhu Hailin received a cleanup, and contentedly hugged his own retainer: “Little master, I’ve missed you to death.”

This tone is a bit familiar, Su Yan’s heart burst – replace “small” with “big”, is not the same as the whoremonger in the green house to the sister of the good-looking set of words?

He twisted Zhu Helin’s tendon meat on his arm, forcing him to ask: “The emperor ordered you to take charge of the disaster relief matters, where did you go to wander around in the wrong place? You’ve learned a mouthful of smooth talk!”

Zhu Hailin complained, “I really didn’t! Little master exhaustion, tired and thin circle, you still wronged me!” He pinched Su Yan’s waist before and after, and laughed: “You have fattened up a bit, holding the bones does not pinch.”

“I don’t call this fat, I call it abs!” Su Yan retorted with an angry grunt.

Zhu Hailin lifted up the hem of his shirt to show him what it meant to have abs.

The young man’s muscles can not talk about blocky, but also robust and powerful, much more obvious than him. Su Yan was a bit frustrated and changed the subject, “Not compared to this. Get up and talk business.”

Zhu Hailin sit also not sit properly, put his feet on Su Yan’s thighs, hand to the side of the desktop a probe, hook over a plate of dried fruit, to Su Yan’s mouth stuffed a large piece, said: “This flavor is sweet and sour, I guess you like. Come on, chat while eating.”
