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

In the early 31st, Mingluan Palace set off firecrackers in the courtyard.

Zheng Guangde led several young eunuchs to run around in the front yard and set off cannons, while Concubine Shu sat on the porch in front of the main hall watching, with a thick fur blanket on her lap.Seeing that Concubine Shu was in a great mood because of being teased, the eunuchs got excited and hung up one after another. Since dawn, the sound of firecrackers has not stopped.

Crackling, one after another, the crumbs of the red paper exploded everywhere, densely covering the snow.

Early in the morning, Mingluan Palace was the busiest in the whole palace.

Baiji was at the side, pouring warm tea for Concubine Shu.The little palace lady next to her joked with a smile: "Everyone has to wait until thirty nights before setting off firecrackers, but our palace has to catch up early."

Concubine Shu sat on a chair covered with tiger skin, and hummed softly and softly: "Of course I can let it go whenever I want, even if it's not the New Year's Eve, I want to set off firecrackers, who dares to stop me?"

The people around naturally responded to her with a smile, and praised Concubine Shu with joy.

Not long after, Jun Huailang led Jun Linghuan out of the east hall and came to Concubine Shu.Concubine Shu ordered someone to bring tables, chairs and snacks for them, and asked them to sit by her side and watch the excitement with her.

"How does Auntie know, Ling Huan likes to watch the cannons the most!" Jun Ling Huan said happily, leaning on Concubine Shu's side.

Concubine Shu rubbed her hair with a smile: "How can I not know? Tonight, there will be fireworks in the palace. When the time comes, ask your brother to lead you to a tall building to watch."

When Jun Linghuan heard the fireworks, his eyes lit up, and he nodded at Concubine Shu: "Okay!"

Jun Huailang heard the words, but took a look at the west hall.

Today, Mingluan Palace is decorated with lanterns and festoons, with red silk and lanterns hanging around, and the front yard is full of fiery red firecrackers, making it lively and lively.

On the other hand, in the west hall, the doors and windows are closed as before.

He didn't know that the hall on the west side was dead silent at this moment.

Through the closed doors and windows, the sound of firecrackers outside can be faintly heard, which sounds lively and festive.And Jin Bao knelt in front of Xue Yan, not daring to vent his breath.

Xue Yan held a secret letter in his hand.

This is what Jinbao rushed to Xidingmen early this morning to retrieve it.When he was keeping watch last night, he saw the signal from the gate of Xidingmen.The signal came from Xue Yan's dead soldiers. In addition to regular handovers, if there was an urgent report outside the palace, they would send such a signal in the direction of Xidingmen.

Therefore, early in the morning, Jinbao complained and cursed, braving the cold wind of the New Year's Eve, and ran to Xidingmen.

It is really too much to suffer for his master.

However, when he received the secret letter, Jin Bao couldn't curse anymore.

"This letter is related to the cause of death of the master's son's biological mother." The dead man said when he handed the letter to Jin Bao. "Don't talk too much, just bring the letter."

Jin Bao Nuo Nuo should be.

When he brought the letter back, he saw the master reading the letter in silence, and there was no movement for a long time.

Jin Baoxin mumbled, only to feel that his master was also very miserable.Who would rush to hear the cause of death of their mother in time for the Chinese New Year?

Jin Bao felt a little sympathetic, but he was more apprehensive.

The master doesn't seem to be in a good mood, and he doesn't know if he will vent his anger on this slave.

Jin Bao waited for a long time in fear, looking for opportunities to take a sneak peek from time to time.After a while, he heard Xue Yan let out a faint laugh.

"Wu Shunhai, you're really doing well." Xue Yan's voice was hoarse and gentle, dissipating in the sound of crackling firecrackers outside the window.

He slowly folded up the letter, put it on the unburned candle in front of the table, and burned it bit by bit.

This Yi Jieyu was quite a surprise for him.

It was found out that she had an affair with Lingtai Lang, Qintian Supervisor, so the dead soldiers followed the clues to find out more useful information.But I never thought that if only one piece of useful news was found, there would be other discoveries.

Back then, Yi Jieyu had contacts with Dongchang in the years before and after the death of his mother and concubine.

It turned out that Wu Shunhai was bribed by Yi Jieyu to drug his mother.His life was spared only because the dosage was not mastered properly.However, Yi Jieyu still kept her promise, and after the matter was completed, she escorted Wu Shunhai, who killed her master, to Dongchang.

Now, Wu Shunhai, who has climbed to a high position in Dongchang, and in order to make Dongchang make a comeback, found himself tearfully, saying that he should protect himself for the sake of his former master.

This rootless slave is really capable.Presumably he thought that he would die without knowing that this old servant who had been friendly with him was the murderer of his biological mother.

Xue Yan smiled lightly.

He has never met his mother, grew up in a military camp, and has no concept of "relatives" or "family".He just felt that being played by an old slave was very interesting, he wanted to fight with him, grind the old slave to death bit by bit, and tell him what kind of person he should not provoke.

Jin Bao glanced at him cautiously.

The doors and windows were closed, and the room was still a little dark.The flickering candlelight reflected on his master's face, always looking gloomy.Especially the gaze staring at the flame was cold and cruel, making Jin Baodu shudder.

Is it... because of my mother's death?

He carefully persuaded: "Master, the deceased is gone, so you don't have to be too sad. It's New Year's Eve, you should be happier..."

Xue Yan looked up at him.

There was no sadness in those eyes.There was bloodthirsty excitement in those eyes, sinister and terrifying, like a jackal smelling blood.

Jinbao shuddered.Sure enough, he shouldn't use normal people's thinking to speculate on his master who looks like the king of Hades.

When he said something wrong, Jin Bao hurriedly tried to find a way to make up for it.

He rolled his eyes, searched around, and immediately locked onto Xue Yan's pillow.

"Master! It's New Year's Eve today, wear the piece of jade that His Royal Highness gave you! It's a koi carp, how festive!" Jin Bao said hastily.

Sure enough, those amber eyes froze for a moment, and then the clouds cleared and the mist dispersed, and the blood and cruelty contained in them gradually faded away.

"Well, bring it here." He heard Xue Yan order.

Jinbao has figured out the way.

This master is full of reverse scales, no one can touch him.The only place where you can masturbate is the place related to His Royal Highness.

Thinking about it, the living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering can even save this evil ghost.

Seeing this, Jin Bao hurried to Xue Yan's bedside, took out the red seal from under the pillow, and handed it to him with both hands.

Sure enough, his master did not refuse.

Even his master put the half-burned secret letter on the table, bowed his head and tied the jade pendant.

A transparent sapphire koi, moist and gentle, looks a bit out of harmony when hanging on Xue Yan's body, just like the King of Hades wearing cassock, which is awkward no matter how you look at it.

But I don't know if it's an illusion, but the sapphire light was reflected twice into Xue Yan's cold eyes.

The pair of amber eyes, which were not very warm, reflected a mild and clear color.

Jinbao lost his mind for a while, then hurried forward and burned the second half of the secret letter for Xue Yan.

Only then did Xue Yan divert his attention to Jin Bao.

He remembered the other two messages on the secret letter.

One is that no one in Yijieyu's palace knew about her relationship with Lingtailang, and whether the two of them communicated with each other, it was always Yijieyu who used the name of worshiping the Buddha and was next to the Qin Tianjian behind the Buddhist hall. Meet Ling Tailang on this trail.

The second article said that Jinbao's mother-in-law contracted lung disease and had no money to treat the disease, so he asked Xue Yandang how to deal with it.

Xue Yan lowered his head and fiddled with the sapphire koi beside him.

"I'll go to the treasury to get some silver later." He fiddled with the carp on his waist, rubbing it in his hand, and said calmly. "Take as much as you want, and send it out to treat your mother."

Jin Bao was taken aback.

His family only sent a letter two days ago, saying that his mother had a bad cough these two days, and wanted him to send some money out.But Jinbao didn't have a lot of money and couldn't come up with the money, so he had to wait for the reward after the next year, and then send it out together.

But I didn't expect that the master even knew this?

His family members didn't know the existence of those dead men. He thought that his family members were just trying to coerce him, but he didn't expect that they would report such a thing to the palace.

...and be distracted to do yourself a favor.

For the first time, Jinbao has the seed, not only is he a tool that can be thrown away after use, but also the feeling that they treat him as one of his own.

His eye sockets felt a little hot, and he knelt down and said, "Thank you, master, on my mother's behalf!"

Xue Yan glanced at him, not taking it seriously.

He just suddenly remembered the little peacock just now.

It suddenly occurred to him that if the little peacock knew about this, he must do everything possible to heal Jinbao's mother.Although I don't have this leisurely mind, but I don't know why, I don't want to do things that go against the little peacock's ideas.

It's just a little money, a word.

He stood up, bypassed Jin Bao who was kneeling on the ground in gratitude, walked to the mirror, and took a sideways photo.

Most of his clothes were dark in color, and his temperament was cold. It didn't look very suitable for this jade to be worn on him.But Xue Yan stared at the jade pendant for a while, but there was a smile on his face.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Xue Yan glanced at Jin Bao, and Jin Bao hurriedly got up and ran to open the door.

As soon as the door was opened, the sound of firecrackers from outside poured in lively.Jun Huailang stood at the door, wearing a soft red cloak, smiling slightly, his cold face was tinged with the joy of the New Year.

"Is His Highness the Fifth?" Jun Huailang asked with a smile. "My aunt asked him to watch the firecrackers together."

As soon as Xue Yan heard it, he knew it must be Jun Huailang himself.He always put his thoughts on Concubine Shu, every time it was very lame, but he always thought he couldn't see it.

But he didn't say anything, pulled the cloak with one hand, and walked forward.

"Here we come." He stopped in front of Jun Huailang.

"Have you put the jade on?" As soon as he approached, Jun Huailang sharply saw the jade pendant beside him.He took a few glances and said with a smile. "It's still suitable, my vision is really good."

"I also have one here for you." Xue Yan said, took out a red seal from his sleeve, and said a little jerky. "happy New Year."

Jin Bao was beside him, and saw it sharply.

Unlike those red envelopes wrapped with two silver ingots, which were so distinct in shape, that red envelope was flat and even, and its thickness was surprisingly thick.

Jin Bao could tell at a glance that the red envelopes were filled with bank notes.He had tidied up the warehouse for Xue Yan, and knew exactly how much money he had.

...Looking at the thickness, I think that this master has already emptied his own private treasury, except for the money left to support the dead. There is nothing left.
