I Became the Older Brother of the Heroine in an Abusive Novel

He dreamed that he sat alone for a long time at the banquet, and then he planned to go out to get some air.As soon as he got up, a maid came and called him to the back hall.The facial features of the palace lady were clearly Aunt Diancui whom he was familiar with, but her expression was unfamiliar.

She stared at him coldly and disgustedly, just the look in her eyes made him uncomfortable.

He followed Diancui to the apse, and the concubines looked at him meaningfully.Jun Huailang pretended not to know, and waited for a light order from Concubine Shu.

"Take Ling Huan out to get some air." She said flatly without raising her eyes.

Jun Huailang felt a little suspicious, but it seemed like he had been pardoned, and wanted to hold Jun Linghuan's hand.But Jun Linghuan followed him politely and walked out together with him.

... What's the matter, why are you so different from yourself?

Jun Linghuan didn't raise his head until he walked out of the hall.

fine.Those eyes were clean and clear, without the disgust and scrutiny that made Jun Huailang suffocate.

"Thank you brother!" she laughed.

There was a bit of restraint in this tone that made Jun Huailang unfamiliar, and there was a vague prefix before the word "brother", which Jun Huailang couldn't hear clearly.

After that, he forcibly suppressed the weirdness in his heart and took his sister to play.The younger sister went to the Imperial Garden first, and then went to the Plum Blossom Forest to watch the lanterns.The lamp in the middle of the plum blossom forest is the most beautiful, Jun Huailang couldn't bear it, and went to pick it off for Jun Linghuan.

In the dream, he was as light as a swallow, shuttled through the narrow path of the plum blossom forest, flew onto the Taihu stone in the middle of the water, and took off the palace lantern.

But when he came back, Jun Linghuan had disappeared.

He was so anxious that he was going to find Jun Linghuan immediately.But immediately, he was held down by a group of people and knelt on the cold bluestone outside the imperial garden.The scolding from around made his ears ringing, but he couldn't explain it.

"Why are you arresting me, why don't you go find someone first?" Jun Huailang asked anxiously.

But none of the eunuchs and guards around paid him any attention.

Later, he was dragged into the magnificent hall, everyone was standing, but he was kneeling.

"Your Majesty, please send Xun Linghuan back first!" He said anxiously when he saw Emperor Qingping, not caring about anything else. "Ling Huan never wanders around, for fear of accidents!"

But Emperor Qingping seemed to have not heard, and was furious at him, which made Jun Huailang feel very strange.Around him, all the familiar people had different expressions, but they all looked at him with unfamiliar, disgusted and cold eyes.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before Jun Linghuan was found.

Jun Huailang was worried, and looked at her eagerly, but met Jun Linghuan's frightened and frightened eyes, as if he saw some monster.

Even after meeting Jun Huailang's eyes, Jun Linghuan trembled all over, and hid in the arms of the man behind her.

After that, everyone's accusatory gazes and the emperor's order to punish him were all blurred in the buzzing of his brain.He looked at every familiar face with a terrifying expression, his whole body was cold, and he was surrounded by a pain that suffocated him.

He looked around in a daze, eagerly looking for something, but couldn't find anything.And usually, his dreams also wake up here.

Jun Huailang suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Xue Yan.

Xue Yan didn't look at him, but the scene in front of him was very familiar to Jun Huailang.It was clearly the same scene, but in a dream, he was kneeling in Xue Yan's position.

Could it be that Jun Linghuan would run into the cold palace alone when Xue Yan was going to fetch the palace lantern, and somehow start to be afraid of Xue Yan?The experience in his dream is what happened to Xue Yan today?

So... Among them, it is clear that other people have done something.

So in the previous life, Xue Yan and his sister clearly had a misunderstanding because of that person.

But at this moment, the Jinwu Guard had already received the emperor's order, and stepped forward to pull Xue Yan up and take him out for torture.

Jun Huailang didn't care much, stepped forward in two steps, and stood in front of Xue Yan.

"Wait a minute," he said.

Jin Wuwei didn't expect that His Royal Highness would have the courage to resist the edict, and when the emperor was furious, he looked at each other for a moment and stopped in place.

Jun Huailang glanced at Xue Yan, then met Xue Yan's raised eyes.

The color was light, with a coolness and indifference as dark as ink, and his eyes fell on the emperor in the palace.Although it was not aimed at Jun Huailang, Jun Huailang's back shivered from the cold.

It suddenly occurred to him that what he experienced in his dream was what Xue Yan was experiencing right now.

Jun Huailang moved, blocked Xue Yan's gaze, stood between him and Emperor Qingping, and stopped him behind.

"Your Majesty, please appease your anger." Jun Huailang said. "Ling Huan was frightened and has not explained the reason yet. Please His Majesty make a decision after observing clearly."

The empress glanced at the furious emperor, then at her friend who was wiping tears beside her, and reminded Jun Huailang reproachfully, "Huailang, don't speak nonsense."

Emperor Qingping suppressed his anger, and asked: "Hasn't I investigated clearly? The whole palace is full, Ling Huan is the only one who is afraid of him, and he was taken out and lost by him. What else should I investigate?"

Jun Huailang took a deep breath, and replied calmly: "It is true that His Royal Highness and the brother and sister of the minister have never had any festivals, so the minister feels that this matter is a bit strange."

Fortunately, he was an official for several years in his previous life, and he was able to answer questions fluently in the Golden Palace, and he was able to withstand the anger of Emperor Qingping at this time.

Emperor Qingping frowned, but it was not easy to attack.After a while, he reluctantly said: "Then you go ask."

Jun Huailang should be ordered to stand up.

When he turned around and walked back, he met Xue Yan's eyes again.That look, as if he hadn't recovered, was filled with emotions that Jun Huailang couldn't see clearly, like a turbulent whirlpool under the sea.

Those eyes just looked at him fixedly.

Jun Huailang only exchanged a glance with him, then turned away.He walked straight in front of Jun Xiaowu, and reached out to take Jun Linghuan in his arms.

Jun Linghuan's emotions had calmed down a little, and at this moment he was sobbing softly, and called his brother sobbing.

"Ling Huan, tell brother, what happened just now?" Jun Huailang knelt on the ground on one knee, held Jun Ling Huan in his arms, and asked softly along her back with one hand.

He deliberately made Jun Linghuan turn his back to Xue Yan, and his expression at this time fell into Xue Yan's eyes.

Jun Linghuan rubbed his eyes, sobbed for a long time, and then whispered: "I want to eat people."

Jun Huailang was taken aback: "Who eats?"

Jun Linghuan hid in his arms, then stammered, "They said... Brother Fifth Prince, he wants to eat people. So they took Huan'er to hide where he couldn't find... But they They're all gone, only Huan'er stays there."

Speaking of this, Jun Linghuan's voice was tinged with tears again, and he began to choke.

Jun Huailang was taken aback for a moment, then understood what she meant.Hearing the little girl whimpering like a milk cat, he quickly leaned over and hugged her in his arms again.

In addition to heartache, Jun Huailang was a little terrified by the truth he found.

In the previous life, this incident happened before, and Xue Yan was punished "deservely" because of Jun Linghuan's identification.From now on, Jun Linghuan must avoid him like a snake and a scorpion, after all, a six-year-old girl is the easiest to scare.

...So, what Xue Yan said in the book has an explanation.

It turned out that Jun Linghuan was deceived by the "they" she called, and thus became enmity with the young Xue Yan?And in the long years since then, Jun Linghuan was insulted by Xue Yan for no apparent reason, and it was also because of these people's reckless jokes?

In addition to being terrified, Jun Huailang pursed his lips tightly, and there was a biting coldness in his eyes.

And the people in the hall also heard what Jun Linghuan said.For a moment, everyone looked different, and even the emperor's anger froze on his face.

Jun Xiaowu reacted, and suddenly became furious.He didn't care about the dignity of the emperor and his ministers, and asked: "Ling Huan, who is scaring you with nonsense? Tell the second brother, the second brother is going to beat him so that he can't get out of bed for three days!"

Jun Huailang quickly raised his eyes to stop him, lest the furious Jun Xiaowu scare his sister again.

Jun Linghuan's choked voice became a little heavier.Jun Xiaowu quickly squatted down, ran one hand down her hair, slowed down his voice, and asked, "Ling Huan, tell Second Brother, who said it?"

Jun Linghuan choked and thought for a while.

"Brother Enze," she said. "There is also the second prince's elder brother... Ling Huan doesn't recognize the rest."

Jun Huailang raised his head and looked at Emperor Qingping in the hall.

Emperor Qingping naturally also heard Jun Linghuan's words.He never thought that this matter was related to his other princes, and when he heard the second prince say something about "cannibalism", he became even more annoyed and angry, and said angrily: "If you don't come here, go and bring the two of them to me quickly." Come face to face!"

Ling Fu hurriedly received the order, ran out quickly, and ordered the little eunuch to find someone.

After a while, the two were brought here.

Jun Huailang saw that Xue Yunsu was still calm, but if he looked closely, he could see that his calm was completely faked.And Jun Enze behind him had already shrunk his shoulders and his walking legs were trembling.

My family raised a white-eyed wolf.Jun Huailang thought coldly.

After the two came in and knelt down in front of Emperor Qingping, Emperor Qingping asked: "Second brother, is it you who brought Miss Jun's family to the cold palace?"

At this moment, Xue Yunsu was furious in his heart.

Who knew bringing a little girl could be such a hassle?I can't walk fast, and I'm still timid, so taking it with me is obviously a burden.

He was just showing off to a few aristocratic families, saying that he dared to take them to the haunted cold palace.The sons of several aristocratic families were very excited, so he got excited and led them away.And this little girl was led all the way by them, and after a few words of frightening, she was too frightened to leave.

But it would be too troublesome to send her back at this time.What's more, he took the child away just to cause trouble for Xue Yan, so why should he send it back?

Had to reluctantly carry.

After arriving at the Leng Palace, several people became more excited because of the gloomy atmosphere inside, so someone proposed to take a look in the palace room inside.But this little girl is timid and slow, and following anyone would be a drag, so no one of them wants to take her with her.

Xue Yunsu was naturally unwilling.He simply found an excuse and randomly placed Jun Linghuan in a turret.In order to prevent her from running around, Xue Yundi also threatened her, saying that if she left casually, she would be caught by Xue Yan who turned into a wolf. It was late at night and it was time for him to eat people.

Xue Yunsu threatened a few more words, the environment in the turret was gloomy, and he didn't feel relieved to play until he saw Jun Linghuan's face was pale and he didn't dare to move.

Who would have thought that after a few people started playing, they would all forget about that little burden.By the time they remembered that there was still Jun Linghuan, the news of Jun Linghuan's disappearance had already spread throughout the palace.

Fortunately, they were a noisy group of people at the time, and no one noticed that they had brought an extra little girl.What's more, there is no one guarding the Lenggong for more than ten feet, and no one knows that they have brought Jun Linghuan to Lenggong.

Therefore, when Xue Yunsu heard the news of Jun Linghuan's disappearance, the first thing he thought of was to warn those who went with him.

"Keep your mouth tight," he said. "None of us has been to the cold palace today, remember?"

Anyway, the little girl was so frightened that she was dumbfounded, and she was only afraid of Xue Yan, so she definitely wouldn't slip up.She was just being frightened there, and her life was not in danger. Instead, she could learn a lesson and feel less sorry for that evil star in the future.

And that group of sons and brothers had already caused trouble, and no one dared to take responsibility.Now the second prince who is the leader keeps them silent, so naturally they also said nothing.

Unexpectedly, that little girl learned to sue by herself?

Hearing the emperor's question, Xue Yunsu paused, and then calmly said: "Father, my son has never been to the Leng Palace, and I haven't seen Sister Ling Huan after today's banquet."

Speaking of this, he looked around pretending to be puzzled, and asked, "What happened? Did Sister Ling Huan admit the wrong person?"

His acting skills are quite clumsy, and he can tell a lie at a glance.Emperor Qingping showed displeasure, glanced at Jun Enze beside him, and asked, "The second prince really hasn't been to the cold palace today?"

Although Jun Enze had been reminded by Xue Yunsu long ago, he was still not so courageous in front of the emperor.He knelt there, his legs were shaking constantly, and he just kept shaking his head, completely unaware.

Naturally, Emperor Qingping would not fail to see through the kid's deceitful words.On the contrary, it was the two people who lied to him with one mouth, which made him feel even more annoyed.

"You don't know how to repent, but you have learned to lie to me?" Emperor Qingping said angrily. "Not only do you not know your mistakes, but you want to hide them?"

At this moment, Zhang Guiren who was sitting at the bottom couldn't sit still.

Xue Yunsu is her own son, and Zhang Guiren has been in the cold palace, and he is most afraid of seeing the emperor get angry and commit crimes.Seeing that her son had caused such a big disaster and the emperor didn't believe him, Zhang Guiren hurriedly got up and knelt down in front of Emperor Qingping.

"Your Majesty, Su'er has always been a good boy and never lied to you! Your Majesty, please be careful!"

Emperor Qingping said angrily: "Aren't he lying to me with his behavior?"

Zhang Guiren hastily said: "This child is timid and kind-hearted. He must have been frightened and disrespectful in front of the emperor! Besides, the fifth prince lost the young lady of the Yongning family. How can it be blamed on Su'er?" Woolen cloth……"

At this moment, a clear voice interrupted her.

"Your Majesty." Jun Huailang said. "If His Highness the Second Highness makes a mistake, and you deceive His Majesty on his behalf, it will be a crime of deceiving the King."

Zhang Guiren turned around and saw Jun Huailang looking at him coldly.

"You don't have the right to speak here!" Zhang Guiren said angrily. "Huangkou kid, what do you know!"

Jun Huailang only looked at her.

His thick black and deep eyes have always been cold and soft, like a hidden fairy wandering away from the world.But at this moment, these eyes are extremely sharp, and under the other party's questioning, the aura overwhelms the other party without showing any fear.

Jun Huailang looked at the faces of these people in the hall talking nonsense with their eyes open, and a raging anger ignited in his heart.

They still know how to be afraid?Then when doing such things, why don't you know how to be afraid?

Throwing such a small girl on the abandoned turret without the slightest bit of fear, and throwing the blame on Xue Yan is also justifiable.How come when it comes time for them to admit what they have done, they start to get scared?

In the previous life, what Jun Linghuan suffered because of them was a thousand times more terrible than this.

The angrier he became, the clearer Jun Huailang's thoughts became.His eyes passed over these people, and there was a mocking smile in his eyes.

"Second Highness, before you argue next time, you might as well arrange your clothes first, so as not to show your feet." He said.

Xue Yunsu was taken aback for a moment, then looked down at the robe on his body.

Jun Huailang continued: "The turret of Lenggong has been in disrepair for a long time, there is thick dust on the stairs, and the mahogany handrails are also rotten. The stairs are extremely narrow. When we went to look for Ling Huan, even if the martial arts were as strong as Xiao Wu, his body would still be weak." I touched the debris of the rotten wood, let alone you, the Second Highness."

When everyone looked at it, they could see that Xue Yunsu's robe had inconspicuous but distinct dust, and there were traces of rotten wood on his elbows and back, and even his sleeve was scratched by the rotten wood.At night, the lights were dim, and he couldn't see clearly from outside, but the apse of Yongle Hall was brightly lit, and there was nowhere to hide his traces all over his body.

Xue Yunsu panicked immediately, and Jun Enze was so frightened that he fell to the ground, sobbing softly.

"This...that doesn't explain anything! Maybe Su'er was mischievous, and bumped into each other outside, so I don't know..." Zhang Guiren still didn't give up.

"Shut up!" Emperor Qingping interrupted her.

The banquet in the palace is not spotless, where can it be so disheartened?Emperor Qingping only felt that his face was completely lost, and his anger was heightened.

"Today is my thousand-year-old feast, and you are making such a fuss, is it a congratulatory gift for me!" Emperor Qing Ping scolded loudly.

Zhang Guiren suddenly did not dare to speak.

Emperor Qingping gasped for a few breaths, and then continued to order: "Take the second prince down, spend a month behind closed doors, and copy Taizu's family instructions a hundred times. This kid in the family has a lack of virtue, so he is not allowed to be the prince's companion anymore, and he will be sent back to his biological father to be raised by his biological father someday!

There are also a few official sons who are in the same company. They don't know how to persuade the prince, but they mess around together. If they find out who they are, they will all punish their father and brother for half a year! "

Needle dropping could be heard in the entire apse, and everyone was silent like a cicada.When Zhang Guiren heard this, he immediately fainted.

When Jun Huailang heard his imperial decree, he was a little dazed.

When it was Xue Yan who was responsible for the crime just now, it was clear that he was going to be beaten and kneel in the Buddhist hall.But when it was the second prince's turn, he grounded his feet lightly and copied the ancestral precepts.

The sons of these aristocratic families were all severely punished.Not to mention Jun Enze, who was about to be expelled from the capital, only said that the sons of the aristocratic families were punished directly by their father and brother.Not only did the men in the family lose face in court, but they also had to be punished when they returned home.

In the final analysis, they were severely punished because they "brought away" the second prince.The second prince, Yu Qingping, is still his own flesh and blood.Although they are emperors and ministers on the surface, they are still father and son in their bones.

And Xue Yan...

"Xue Yan, although you are not to blame for today's crimes, you should take good care of your sister since you have been ordered by Concubine Shu. How can you leave her alone? You don't have to hit the board today, but you still have to kneel in the Buddhist hall until tomorrow. It's just dawn."

Emperor Qingping continued.

After he finished taking care of everyone, he saw Xue Yan who was kneeling under the hall like a nail.

Everyone was punished, but he seemed innocent.This actually made Emperor Qingping feel uncomfortable, as if he had wronged him and taught him to kneel here for nothing.

So Emperor Qingping spoke lightly, charged him with a crime, and found a way for himself.

Anyway, he was fined a lot, not once or twice this time.

-

When Jun Enze left the apse of Yongle Palace, the queen was leaving Duke Yongning to talk to Mrs. Shen.The second prince had already left surrounded by people, he was alone, and there was not even a follower beside him.

Jun Enze's legs were weak, and his mind was in chaos.

The place where his father was allotted was Lingnan, and I heard that there was miasma there, which could poison good people to death.He was unwilling to go even if he died, and his father was also reluctant to let him suffer, so he begged Duke Yongning to finally let him stay in Duke Yongning's mansion.

Although it is under the fence of others, it is better to go to Lingnan.What's more, he is the second prince's companion.That is the celebrity around the prince, he is so precious that no one dares to underestimate him, he is also outstanding among all the noble families.

But now, it's all gone.

The emperor was offended, and the second prince could not save him.To the second prince, it was just a charge of teasing a noble daughter, but to him, it was a felony of abetting the prince.

Jun Enze knew that the matter had come to this point, and there was no room for change.Before long, he will travel tens of thousands of miles to Lingnan, which is full of miasma.

He had no intention of going back to the banquet, so he had to sit down in an inconspicuous corner by the Taiye pool.In front of him, the Taiye Pool covered with a layer of crushed ice was sparkling, and the poolside lanterns were flickering.On the opposite side of the lake, there are many palaces, green tiles, flying scorpions, carved beams and painted buildings, and the brilliant lights are reflected in the lake, just like a fairyland in Yaochi.

In the past, he could still consider himself a member of this place, but now, he was thrown back to the mortal world by the fairyland, like a dream.

At this moment, a faint sigh came from behind him.

"Your Highness Fourth?" Jun Enze turned around in surprise, and saw Fourth Prince Xue Yunhong standing behind him.

He and the second prince are always together, but the fourth prince is as gentle as jade, reticent and never gets involved with them.Just now, it was his sharp eyes that saw Jun Linghuan was there.

"If the fifth brother loses this child, I'm afraid the father will severely blame him again." At that time, Xue Yunhong said with a smile.

Xue Yunsu was surprised: "Xue Yan brought her out? How do you know?"

"I seem to have seen it, maybe I misread it." Xue Yunhong smiled and shook his head. "If the second brother is curious, you can ask. I drank too much wine, and I have a headache right now, so I will leave first."

Jun Enze was a little puzzled.

At that time, His Royal Highness went back to rest, why did he sober up now?

Seeing his doubtful expression, Xue Yunhong smiled, and said lightly: "Just now I was resting, and when I heard the noise, I came out to take a look. I heard that you had an accident with your second brother, and I was a little worried, so I came to see you."

Jun Enze showed a grateful look, and shed tears at the same time: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. It's just that from now on, there will be no chance to meet again."

"How come there is no chance to meet?" Xue Yunhong asked in surprise.

Jun Enze said: "Lingnan is so far away, how can I have a chance to come back again."

Xue Yunhong smiled and shook his head.

"As long as the Second Emperor doesn't want to part with you, what does it matter how far away?" He said.

Jun Enze was taken aback: "You mean..."

Xue Yunhong said gently: "You have been by the second brother's side since you were young. Who can compare to this kind of friendship? When you are about to leave, find an excuse to meet the second brother and just say goodbye. The emperor will not forbid you. At that time, if you cried with him, the Second Emperor's brother is so soft-hearted, he will definitely miss you and won't let you suffer in Lingnan for too long."

Jun Enze's expression gradually turned joyful.

Yes indeed!How did he forget!I can't control my own destiny, but the nobles in the palace are different!

Xue Yunhong saw that he had listened in, couldn't help laughing again, and said: "At that time, you only say that you don't want to part with the second emperor, and that it is Xue Yan who harmed you. The second emperor hates Xue Yan so much, and he will definitely make the decision for you. Find a way to get you back."

Jun Enze quickly memorized every word and sentence, and thanked Xue Yunhong for his suggestions.

"Where is the point?" Xue Yunhong said with a smile. "It's just that I don't want you to leave like this, so I think of an idea for you."

His Royal Highness the Second Prince has a deep friendship with him, and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is also reluctant to part with him!Jun Enze suddenly became flustered.

Sure enough, all his years of drilling were useful.

"Now that you've figured it out, let's go back to the banquet." Xue Yunhong nodded with a smile and said. "It's windy by the lake, don't get cold if you wear thin clothes."

Jun Enze naturally did not suspect him, so he bowed and said goodbye.

Since there are plenty of opportunities to come back, then he doesn't have to worry about it.Among the aristocratic family, he still has a few good friends, and he still needs to go back to make friends with them.

Xue Yunhong smiled and watched him leave.

"A wise man takes his strategy, and a fool takes his strength." He chuckled and said to himself. "The ancients never deceived me."

With the second prince's ability and no powerful mother's family, how can he save Jun Enze?He asked Jun Enze to beg the second prince, just to use the last bit of that waste to intensify the conflict between the second prince and Xue Yan.

Xue Yunhong put his hands behind his back and looked at the brightly lit lake.The scales of light reflected in his eyes, but there was no warmth.

Whoever he wants to deal with, he never needs to do it himself.Borrowing strength is the first lesson of being a king, taught by his mother and concubine.

Just like back then, he and Xue Yan were born on both feet.His concubine mother was just an unknown and unfavored concubine at that time, while Concubine Rong, Xue Yan's mother, was the favorite concubine of the Yanguan harem.At that time, the Empress of the Central Palace had no children for many years, and everyone was staring at Concubine Rong's belly. His mother and concubine could use various forces to make Concubine Rong die suddenly, Xue Yan fell out of favor, and all the eyes that belonged to Xue Yan fell on her. on him.

Now, he also has this ability. With the help of those brainless idiots, he can make Xue Yan fall out of favor even more without bloodshed, and he will never turn over.

After all, his mother and concubine said that those who have old enemies need to be killed, so as not to plant the root of disaster for themselves.

It's just that those idiots have been used for a while, like low-quality iron swords, the blades curled before killing people.

Xue Yunhong looked at the lights all over the lake and sighed in disappointment.

-

In the middle of the east and west palaces of the imperial city, a seven-story pagoda was built.There is a magnificent hall in front of the pagoda, which is used for Buddhist altars.In front of the altars, incense burns continuously day and night, and at night there are still vigilant monks knocking on the wooden fish in the side hall, echoing in the night.

It was already late at night, and there was the sound of a night watch in the distance.

Xue Yan knelt in the middle of the Buddhist hall, looking up at a golden Buddha statue several feet high.The Buddha's eyebrows were kind, his expression was compassionate, his eyes were slightly lowered, and he looked down at the front of him.Around him, there are one hundred and eight statues of arhats, all with different expressions, with their eyes wide open, standing quietly in the flickering candlelight.

Xue Yan raised his head and was able to meet the eyes of the Buddha statue.

He watched quietly for a while, then suddenly let out a breathy laugh.

"Stupid?" He muttered to himself, his voice so soft that only he could hear it. "What's worth it for a person like me."

He admitted that he had fallen into that rough way today because he lost his mind for a moment and did something irrational.This has never happened before, because in the past, his life has always been the same, and he has never met someone like Jun Huailang.

However, it can be regarded as a wrong hit.Dongchang is waiting for the day when he really becomes a dog in the water, and he is also waiting for an opportunity to make Dongchang fully trust him.

His reason told him that this was his chance.

He just needs to wait quietly for everyone to deal with him.The means of disposal are usually nothing new, and he has never had the habit of explaining. He just waited for the punishment to be over, and relied on the smell of blood on his body to attract the pack of wolves in the East Factory.

But this time it was different.

When Jun Linghuan disappeared, he felt flustered, his mind was empty, and only Jun Huailang was left.

He could guess what kind of reaction Jun Huailang would have, so the first thing he thought of was not to take advantage of this matter, but to follow the traces to find Jun Linghuan.But just at this time, Concubine Shu sent someone to find Jun Linghuan to go back for some snacks, and they happened to bump into him and detained him on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, the people who hurried to Xingshi to inquire about their crimes, the impenetrable Jinwu Guards, and the furious Emperor Qingping.

This scene was not unfamiliar to Xue Yan, and it could even be said to be commonplace.

But the difference this time is that not long after, he saw Jun Huailang who rushed over anxiously.

It was at that time that Xue Yan's chest seemed to be gripped, making him unable to breathe.

For the first time he wanted to explain.

This is something he has never experienced since he was a child.Everyone just wanted to punish him, no one wanted to listen to his explanation, and he was not interested in wasting words.But this time, he wanted to tell Jun Huailang that he didn't mean it.

However, Xue Yan didn't say anything.

Whether he knew about it or not, it was his negligence that made Jun Huailang's sister disappear.Seeing Jun Huailang's anxious expression, he just wanted to allow the other party to blame and reprimand him, or find a way to get himself punished, so as to offset the sadness he had brought him.

But Jun Huailang... still not there.

From an onlooker's perspective, Xue Yan watched as Jun Huailang exonerated him step by step, found the person who tricked Jun Linghuan away, and returned his innocence.

Innocent, the word was so strange to him that it was funny.

Xue Yan always thought that things like innocence were not important to him.It doesn't matter whether he did it or not, what matters is whether the final result is of value to him.

It's just that he never knew that it is human nature to tend to the light.He didn't care about his innocence before, just because he didn't care about people before.

Dongchang got the news that Xue Yan was wronged and punished, and sent Xiao Weizi here immediately.Although there was a discrepancy with the information, Xue Yan was not beaten, but was punished to kneel in the Buddhist hall, but Xiao Weizi still passed on Wu Shunhai's words, saying that he felt sorry for him being punished for no reason, and that Eunuch Wu would come to meet him some day.

"Don't tell me, father-in-law, although the fifth prince's punishment was not severe, but I looked at him, and there was something wrong." When Xiao Weizi reported back to Wu Shunhai, he said so.

Wu Shunhai heard the words and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Weizi pondered for a long time, but couldn't speak.

"I always feel that something is wrong, my eyes are a little blank, and I seem to be thinking about something." He said. "It's as if half of the soul has been taken away by a monster."

Wu Shunhai laughed out loud upon hearing this.

"I think the rabbit is in a hurry and is thinking about how to bite people." He said nonchalantly. "Have you been seduced by a demon? Read more books, relying on nonsense, so that Dongchang won't be laughed at by people, saying that these words are just talking nonsense and blind."

Xiao Weizi scratched the back of his head, not daring to refute Eunuch Wu's words, he said yes repeatedly, and then backed out.

But... he still felt a little bit mean.

The fifth prince's expression didn't have that gritted-toothed hatred, it was just empty, as if his soul had been taken away.

But thinking about it, how could a monster be so bold and dare to seduce someone in front of the Buddha.

When Jun Huailang returned to Mingluan Palace, it was already late at night.Jun Linghuan was frightened and was taken to bed early, but Jun Huailang couldn't sleep, and even felt restless.

He did not expect that the seemingly confusing discord between Jun Linghuan and Xue Yan in the previous life was actually caused in this way.

Only after living as Xue Yan once did he feel personally what kind of situation Xue Yan endured every day.Therefore, he once gave him some warmth, and then broke Jun Linghuan with his own hands, and became the target of his revenge in the previous life.

Jun Huailang felt that he should hate him.Jun Linghuan was innocent from beginning to end, yet he suffered such an indiscriminate disaster.No matter who the culprit is, Xue Yan did it all.

However, Jun Huailang couldn't hate it.

It is precisely because of this experience that Jun Huailang can understand how unbearable the pain of isolation is, like a cold blunt knife repeatedly cutting bloody wounds.

It is precisely because of this that the warmth of that moment is especially precious.Losing is much more painful than never getting it. After gaining warmth, the person who once gave it is more unacceptable than the malice from other people.

Jun Huailang knew that compared to Xue Yan, what he should hate was the group of people who forced Xue Yan to this point, and played tricks on Jun Linghuan, let her torture Xue Yan, and forced the two of them to have enmity.

Xue Yan was a fire pit, he would die if he touched it, it was those people who pushed Jun Linghuan into it.

However, behind that group of people, there is such a huge group of people.What happened today, on the surface, it was the second prince who framed Jun Linghuan, but in fact, behind him were the silently conniving people in the palace, and the indiscriminate Emperor Qingping.

Even today, Xue Yan has separated from Jun Linghuan's disappearance, didn't Emperor Qingping find a reason to punish him?

Jun Huailang looked up at the night outside.

Beyond the flickering lights, there is a blackness like ink.

At this moment, Fu Yi pushed the door open and came in.

"Eldest young master?" Fuyi held a lantern, and carefully glanced inside.

"Huh?" Jun Huailang looked at him.

When Fuyi saw him, he laughed, then opened the door, and ordered the maids behind him to come in: "I saw that the lights in your room were on, so I thought you were still awake. There wasn't much food at the palace banquet today, my servant." Seeing that the small kitchen in the empress's palace is making supper for the empress, I will make a portion for you as well."

A few court ladies floated in with jade plates in their hands, and filled the small table in front of Jun Huailang in no time.

Seven or eight kinds of snacks are not much in quantity, but they are exquisite, and they all suit Jun Huailang's taste.Jun Huailang looked at their cloth dishes for a while before he came to his senses, he really felt a little empty in his stomach.

In palace banquets, there are so many nobles to be entertained, and the dishes need to be exquisite. There is only one imperial dining room, and it is often too busy.Therefore, the dishes of palace banquets are usually insufficient in supply, only enough to fill the stomach.

After the dishcloth was ready, Fu Yi set the tableware for him and put the ivory chopsticks by his hand.

But Jun Huailang suddenly asked: "Is the Buddhist hall far from here?"

Fu Yi froze for a moment, not knowing himself, and looked at the maids behind him.

One of them said: "His Royal Highness, it's not far away. After leaving the gate of the East Sixth Palace, walk a stick of incense, and you will be there."

Jun Huailang asked again: "Is there someone guarding it?"

The maid covered her lips with a smile: "Everyone can go to the Buddhist hall, except for the ordinary guards, there are only monks."

Jun Huailang hummed and said nothing.

Just now, when he saw those snacks, what he suddenly thought of was Xue Yan.

He certainly didn't eat much at the banquet tonight, and he still needs some
