Jun Huailang paused, inexplicably thinking of Xue Yan's alienated and indifferent appearance just now.

That day Xue Yan was drenched all over, and it was the same when he led him to change clothes. He didn't say a word, showed no expression, like a piece of ice that couldn't be covered.

He seems to be used to being bullied, he has long been numb, no matter how many insults and bullying he has, he doesn't seem to be aware of it, and he doesn't respond when someone reaches out to him.

Jun Huailang's sour heart couldn't harden again for no reason.

He smiled happily at Jun Ling, and said, "Of course it's your brother. There are still some lychees on the table, you take them to him."

Xue Yunhuan wondered beside him: "Why do you treat him so well? That evil star is just a white-eyed wolf who is useless to treat him well. Maybe it will bring you bad luck."

Jun Huailang comforted himself and said, "It's not that I'm soft-hearted, it's just because I told Ling Huan before that Xue Yan is her real brother, so I can't break my promise and spoil my sister."

Thinking of this, Jun Huailang also told Jun Linghuan: "Stay away, don't say that brother let you go. Don't talk too much, just call him brother a few more times."

That's what matters.He didn't believe that Xue Yan had been fascinated by Jun Linghuan since he was a child, and when she called her brother until he grew up, he could think of anything he shouldn't have.

Thinking of this, he also felt relieved and let Jun Linghuan go with the maid.

-

Xue Yan sat alone in the corner, no one was around, and no one noticed him.

Someone approached him behind him, but he remained calm and just sat where he was drinking tea.When the person approached, he finally realized it, turned around and looked at the person: "What's the matter?"

He frowned, with just the right amount of doubt on his face.

The man bowed with his chest in his arms, dressed as an eunuch, and didn't salute when he heard the words, but smiled and asked: "Your Highness Fifth, are you willing to be in such a situation?"

Xue Yan paused for a moment, then said with a gloomy and indifferent expression: "There is nothing to be reconciled to, but to live."

The man continued to ask: "But the Second Highness has bullied you like this again and again, clearly trying to drive you to a dead end. If it weren't for your high martial arts skills, you would either die or be injured today. You are not making a fuss For play."

Xue Yan frowned upon hearing this, and asked, "How do you know it's the Second Emperor?"

The man smiled and said, "Slaves have their own ways."

Xue Yan was silent for a moment, then hooked the corners of his lips, and laughed at himself: "It's not just the second brother? From the father to everyone in the palace, who doesn't want my life? Even if I hate it, but I'm alone, how can I any solution?"

Hearing this, the man had a meaningful smile on his face.

"You are not alone, Your Highness," he said.

"There is a person who has been caring about you since you were born, but unfortunately, due to his identity, he has never been able to see you. As long as you are willing, he and his people are your backing." The eunuch Speaking eloquently, although he lowered his head, he still looked at Xue Yan's reaction from the corner of his eye.

Xue Yan's face showed a bit of confusion and emotion, as well as cautious yearning.After he finished speaking, he asked, "Who is that person?"

The eunuch stared at him for a moment, then slowly knelt down, and under the cover of the branches, he gave him a big salute.

"Eunuch Wu Shunhai, who is in charge of the East Factory, was the chief eunuch in your mother and concubine's palace." He said. "Eunuch Wu and Concubine Rong have been separated from master and servant for 15 years now. Your Highness has just grown up, and it's time to use Eunuch Wu."

"You mean..." Xue Yan asked calmly.

The eunuch went on to say: "Eunuch Wu has already informed Duke Duanchang that Duke Duanchang was moved by the deep love between him and Concubine Rong's master and servant. He is willing to devote his efforts to protect and assist His Highness Dongchang. I just hope His Highness will not despise Dongchang." The reputation is notorious, and His Highness's name is tarnished."

Xue Yan didn't speak for a moment.The eunuch knelt on the ground, quite calmly, and the two were silent for a long time before Xue Yan's soft footsteps were heard.

He stepped forward, bowed and helped the eunuch up with his own hands.

"I didn't expect... I never knew." His voice was low and hoarse, and it took a while for him to choke out such a sentence.

"I always thought that no one would..." When he said this, his voice was choked, and he was speechless for a moment.

Then, he regained his composure and asked, "How is Eunuch Wu in health now? Thinking about how he served my mother and concubine back then, he must be quite old now."

The eunuch replied: "Eunuch Wu has always been healthy, Your Highness need not worry."

Speaking of this, he tentatively asked: "Then your Highness, what the servant said..."

Xue Yan smiled and said, "I've gotten used to it after all these years. I appreciate Eunuch Wu's kindness, but if I want to seek revenge, I don't know how to do it... It's just that I have never had any relatives. Thanks to Eunuch Wu I have been thinking about it for so long, I don’t know when I will meet my father-in-law, I want to catch up with him.”

The eunuch didn't express his opinion when he heard the words, but only agreed: "My father-in-law's status is inconvenient, but if there is a chance, I will definitely meet your highness."

Xue Yan thanked him and watched him leave.

The warmth, touch and smile on his face, like a mask, were lightly taken off by him, and the original indifference and sarcasm returned.

Second prince?The second prince didn't have this ability, and he sent such a powerful martial arts master to fight against him, just to make himself suffer a small injury.The only one who can have such a big deal is Dongchang.

How many times he has been flanked on the battlefield, it has long been instinctive to listen to the six directions and see all directions. Today's attack, even if there are three or five more people, he can handle it with ease.

However, the other party tried their best to set up a situation, and he couldn't spoil the other party's interest. He had to show cowardice to suit the other party's wishes in order to make them bite the bait.

Sure enough, the big fish took the bait, which also confirmed his guess.

The former slave of his mother Concubine Rong, the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and he threw himself into the big tree of Dongchang. Over the years, he climbed to a high position and became the second in command of the eunuch of Dongchang.But Dongchang was in a downturn, lost the trust of the emperor, and became a street rat.

That's why he thought of finding a prince to be their puppet.After all, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the East Factory has no shortage of talents and skills. It only needs a pawn for them to use on the surface, so that their abilities can be put to use.

If the prince is promoted to a high position in the future, they will be able to cover the sky with one hand again.

That's why they're looking for him.After all, a person like him who has been bullied in the palace and who happens to have a close relationship with the people in Dongchang, it is best to control him.

As for the seven kills?The people in Dongchang have never done any dirty and private things, and they have no descendants, so they are most afraid of fate.

Finally, after casting a net for so long, Xue Yan finally caught this scheming fish.

And his refusal just now was nothing more than a retreat.After all, people who harbor hatred but dare not take revenge, are cowardly and emotional, are naturally suitable as pawns.

He added weight, just waiting for Wu Shunhai to be unable to sit still.

The expression on Xue Yan's face was like a smile but not a smile, with a cold and sober chill.He sat back and picked up the teacup again.

At this moment, there were footsteps coming from far and near.

Xue Yan looked up, and saw a little girl carved in pink and jade, wrapped in a furry cloak, walking towards him with short legs, followed by a court lady holding lychees.

This is... Jun Huailang's younger sister?

Xue Yan remembered his cold stare towards Jun Huailang just now.

At that time, the people from Dongchang were watching in the dark, he knew it well, so he deliberately distanced himself from Jun Huailang.

Jun Huailang's reaction just now presumably wanted to hold grudges.But he is careful at every step and cannot tolerate any mistakes.

So, what is this little girl here for?

He sat where he was, and watched the little girl come forward, her brows and eyes crooked with a smile, she still looked a bit like his brother.

Xue Yan's heart inevitably softened.

Then, he heard the little girl say crisply: "Brother! Are you thirsty? I brought you lychees!"

Xue Yan paused, and couldn't help but think, is that little peacock called brother every day?

He was so soft-hearted and easy to bully, no wonder he could ask for anything from this little girl, and spoiled him to the top of his heart.

Over there, Jun Linghuan kept his brother's words in mind, and called this brother a few more times.She is young and has a sweet mouth. This task is too easy for her.

Seeing that this brother didn't speak, she wasn't angry at all, instead she picked up a lychee and put it in Xue Yan's hand.

"Brother, eat quickly! My brother doesn't like sweets, so he praises the lychees as delicious!"

When Xue Yan heard her mention her brother, he lowered his eyes and looked at this ignorant little girl.

"Did your brother ask you to come?" Xue Yan asked.

Jun Linghuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and then showed a troubled expression.

"Oops..." she whispered. "My brother didn't let me say it, how did you guess it?"

Hearing this, Xue Yan raised his eyes to look at the school grounds.Zhuo Ran's figure can be seen at a glance from a distance.

An unconcealable smile floated unconsciously in Xue Yan's eyes.

"Stupid," he said to himself.

And not far away from them, the second prince came from Jun Linghuan, and his eyes kept falling on her.

As for the lychees, his mother and concubine only divided about a dozen pieces in the palace.His mother and concubine were reluctant to eat it, so they left it to him, but after tasting it, it was all gone.

But Jun Linghuan was able to generously bring several plates of lychees as snacks for Jun Huailang and Xue Yunhuan.There were so many lychees, it was enough to give some to each of the princes, but Jun Linghuan only gave those two, and immediately after that, he brought a large plate and gave it to Xue Yan.

The second prince was so jealous that his teeth itch.

Beside him, the fourth prince smiled like a spring breeze, and said casually: "The concubine Shu's family is really kind to the fifth brother. They don't say anything to the fifth brother, even the brothers and sisters are so kind to him." dear."

The second prince snorted coldly, but said nothing.

Then, the fourth prince turned to Jun Enze as if he had thought of something.

"Enze, aren't you Shizi's cousin? You have grown up together since childhood, but Shizi seems to have a better relationship with the fifth son he just met." Speaking of this, he laughed and said. "There are so many lychees, and I never thought of sharing some with you."

Hearing this, Jun Enze remained silent for a long time in embarrassment. After a while, he gritted his teeth and opened his mouth.

"He was such a selfish person," he said.
