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

When Jun Huailang woke up again, he was no longer in the palace.

He opened his eyes, and in front of him was a blue soft silk tent.The warm sunlight came in from the window, and he turned his head to see the bedroom full of sunlight.

It was too quiet.

The window ribs are ebony that he is familiar with, and the furnishings around are elegant and simple.Used to seeing the dazzling pile of gold and jade in Mingluan Palace, Jun Huailang's eyes were not used to it for a while.

This is where he lives at home.

Jun Huailang felt dizzy.

He closed his eyes, feeling a little unreal.It seemed that at the last moment, he was still struggling in the Taiye Pond and nearly drowned.In the chaos, it seemed that someone rescued him, he struggled to open his eyes, and saw that the person in front of him was...

It's Xue Yan.

There was a moment of clarity in Jun Huailang's mind.

At that time, he was in a trance, his whole body was frozen stiff, and he felt that the scene in front of him was an illusion.

But in that hazy, indistinguishable hallucination, there was something alive.

Jun Huailang involuntarily caressed the back of his hand.

The drop of tear that fell on his hand was extremely hot, dripping on his cold skin, it seemed to melt immediately, but immediately dragged him back to the world.

It was Xue Yan's tears.

Jun Huailang immediately sat up from the bed as if awakened with a start.

Why did he return to his home as soon as he opened his eyes?

At that time, only he and Xue Yan were present, what if someone put the blame on Xue Yan?Xue Yan has saved his life now, if he is convicted because of this, what should he do?

At this moment, the servant girl guarding outside heard the movement and hurried in to check.Seeing Jun Huailang sitting up, a happy expression appeared on his face, and he came forward to touch his forehead.

"The young master is really great!" the maid laughed. "I'm going to tell Fuyi to go back to Madam quickly! Madam and Second Young Master haven't closed their eyes since they came back from picking up the young master. Just now, I was persuaded by the servants and then went to lie on the side for a while. "

Jun Huailang felt a little dizzy belatedly.He supported his forehead and nodded, motioning for her to go out and call for someone.

Hearing the voice from inside, the maids waiting outside all cheered up.When the servant girl went to call for someone, several of them came in bustlingly one after another, skillfully serving Jun Huailang to get up and change clothes.

"How long have I been asleep?" Jun Huailang asked.

"Back to Master, it's not too long, it's not even noon yet." The nearest maid replied. "The Duke stayed in the palace early in the morning to meet the emperor, but he hasn't come back yet."

Jun Huailang nodded.

He watched the people in front of him busy back and forth, all of them had been serving him since childhood, and their demeanor and actions were extremely familiar.

Ordinarily he should feel at ease.

But his heart seemed to be suspended without a bottom, which always made him a little worried.

...After all, this is the first time Xue Yan has faced such a big crisis alone since he entered the palace.

As time passed, he seemed to have gotten used to helping Xue Yan deal with dangers.In his eyes, no matter how violent Xue Yan is in the future, now he is just a boy in his teens who has just returned to Chang'an, knows nothing, and has few words, facing all the twists and turns in the palace. , definitely can't handle it.

What's more, the person who wanted to kill him has not yet been identified.

Jun Huailang's expression became serious.

After a while, his mother Shen Shi and Jun Xiaowu hurried in.

Shen walked forward quickly, sat on the edge of Jun Huailang's bed, and reached out to touch his cheek and forehead.Seeing that his fever had subsided and he was fine, he asked, "But what else is uncomfortable?"

She is still worried.

Jun Huailang shook his head, and was about to speak when he heard Jun Xiaowu beside him speak.

He leaned against the bedpost next to him, and said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry. The imperial doctor has already said that as long as my fever subsides and I sleep, everything will be fine."

Shen chanted a sentence: "Amitabha, thanks to that Fifth Highness."

As soon as Jun Huailang heard those three words, his heart stopped, and he quickly asked: "Mother, how is the Fifth Highness?"

Shen wiped her tears, and said: "Thanks to him. It was His Highness who rescued you, and because your high fever persisted, the imperial doctor said that you had hit an evil spirit, so he went to the Buddhist hall to copy the scriptures bless you."

Jun Huailang was taken aback.

... hit evil?

This is obviously nonsense.I was deliberately pushed into the water, what kind of evil did I hit?There is clearly someone operating it, and the operating person must be the one who designed him to fall into the water.

He was designed to fall into the water, and seeing that he didn't die, he used the evil trick to frame him pointedly.Besides Xue Yan, who else could be the so-called "evil spirit" in the palace?

Jun Huailang was about to explain, when she heard Shen say: "His copying of the scriptures is really useful, and in the middle of the night, your fever really subsided. It's just that now, the palace is in such chaos. , can’t let you two brothers and sisters live anymore.”

Jun Huailang hurriedly asked: "Mother, I was pushed into the water, has this matter been found out?"

Shen nodded.

Before she could speak, Jun Xiaowu interjected, "Isn't that Yi Jieyu from the Xu family who was jealous of my aunt and sent someone to do it? She thought she didn't know about it, but she didn't expect that His Royal Highness would remember her maid's appearance. It was hard to be judged."

...Yi Jieyu.

This person has never appeared in Jun Huailang's sight, and when he heard her name at first, Jun Huailang was taken aback.

Then, he heard Jun Xiaowu gossip to him excitedly: "You don't know that Yi Jieyu is jealous of her aunt, and at the same time has an affair with a small official of the Qin Tianjian. Before dawn today, unexpectedly Someone broke it, and she framed her aunt, so she was given a white silk by the emperor."

Shen quickly raised her hand to pat him.

"Why are you so talkative? Don't talk about these things in the palace in private." She softly reprimanded Jun Xiaowu.

Jun Xiaowu closed his mouth with a grin.

Yi Jieyu... died?

Jun Huailang didn't expect that the black hand behind this scene would lose his life as soon as it surfaced.

Yi Jieyu, Qin Tianjian, the court lady who pushed him into the water last night... these people were inexplicably linked together, and they were all dealt with overnight.

A series of events seemed quite coincidental, but Jun Huailang always felt that something was wrong.

It seems that Xue Yan just copied a scripture without doing anything, and gods and Buddhas came to the world to bring these people to justice.

Jun Huailang was taken aback for a moment, then amused by his own thought.

Where can there be such gods and Buddhas?

Among them, someone must have done something.But Concubine Shu is pure, Xue Yan... is still very pure now, and she doesn't seem like someone who would make such arrangements.

Could it be that someone secretly helped him without his knowledge?

Jun Huailang couldn't figure it out, but he was no longer in the palace, even if he wanted to investigate, he couldn't ask.

However, the traitor in his aunt's palace has been eliminated, and this incident on New Year's Eve not only did not harm Xue Yan, but also allowed Emperor Qingping to dispel a lot of prejudice against Xue Yan.And the priest of Qin Tianjian, who was slanderous, is now dead, and all the hidden dangers in the palace of the previous life were all removed overnight.

Now it seems that apart from the fact that his father was accused of corruption in the previous life, there is nothing for him to worry about.

Jun Huailang felt relieved and recuperated from his illness at home for a period of time.

Although his high fever that night was cured, his body was still weak, and he was only fully recovered after staying at home for a month.

Meanwhile, the imperial decree to send his father to Jiangnan also arrived.

Jiangnan Imperial Examination has always been the top priority of Dayong's talent promotion.Every three years in the autumn, examiners must be stationed in advance to arrange examination affairs and issue test questions for the next year's rural examination.

And the chief examiners stationed here are mostly Beijing officials who are deeply trusted by the emperor. After the autumn, they will return to the capital.Therefore, as time went by, Dayong had the tradition of appointing the chief examiner as the governor of Jiangnan.The governor went to the south of the Yangtze River a year in advance to investigate local affairs and also served as an examiner. When he returned to Beijing, he happened to be able to face the saint and return.

Next year it will be Qiuwei again.

Jun Huailang was sick at home for half a month, and then came the imperial decree to appoint Duke Yongning as the governor of the south of the Yangtze River, asking him to pack his luggage in advance, hand over the affairs of Beijing and China, and take up his post in the beginning of spring.

This position is in the eyes of Beijing officials, but it is a good job that can't be asked for.The governor is not only high-ranking and powerful, but most importantly, he has won the trust of the emperor.

Counting down the number of extremely human ministers since the founding of the Yong Dynasty, which one has not walked from this position once?Not to mention taking charge of Qiuwei, next year all the candidates in Qiuwei Jiangnan will have to call him a mentor, and it will be his help to become an official in the court in the future.

In the past two years, due to the gradual loss of the Sacred Heart of the Jiang and Xu families in the court, the rumors that the Sacred Lord intends to reuse the little-known Duke Yongning have never stopped.

However, after all, Duke Yongning's mansion was a big family with high meritorious service back then, and Duke Yongning was also mediocre in aptitude and didn't have much achievements, so the court has always been guessing, but they didn't think much of him.

But this imperial decree confirmed all the speculations in the court - the emperor really wanted to use him.

So, with the imperial decree, the front of Yongning Duke's Mansion suddenly became lively.

In order to get close to Yongning, the officials of the DPRK and China found many reasons.However, Duke Yongning has always been a cold personality who doesn't like to socialize, and after dealing with it a few times, he all declined.

Therefore, during this period of time, the Duke's Mansion was fairly quiet.After Jun Huailang recovered from his illness, Shen Shi started to help him pack his luggage.

He and his father were going to stay in the south of the Yangtze River for two years, so they had a lot of things to take with them.By the time his luggage was scattered and packed, it was already early spring and February.

It is also gradually approaching the day when Yongning Gong will take office.

However, Jun Huailang had something on his mind, the closer it was to the day of his departure, the more restless he was.

Although the affairs in the palace had already been settled, there was nothing for him to worry about, but he always recalled the tear that Xue Yan shed when he woke up that night.

No matter what happened in the previous life, in this life, Xue Yan saved his life.

He only approached the other party out of a little pity and selfishness to protect his family, and what he did was nothing more than effort to himself.

He just hoped not to repeat the mistakes of his previous life, and never thought of asking the other party for anything in return, but the fact is that Xue Yan did treat him sincerely, perhaps even more sincerely than he imagined.

Even though tears can be deceiving, the look in his eyes when he cried that day could not.

He always felt that he should find a way to see Xue Yan again, at least thank him, and say goodbye.

But he still has no reason to enter the palace.Moreover, after he fell into the water once in the palace, Shen Shi was also quite uneasy and did not dare to let him go into the palace easily.

This matter has been placed in Jun Huailang's heart.

Shen Shi, who was busy all the time, didn't notice his emotions, but his younger brother, who was idle all day long and always came to play with him, noticed it.

However, Jun Xiaowu has always been careless and has no delicate thoughts. He just thinks that his brother is reluctant to leave home, so he is in a bad mood.

Jun Xiaowu felt that he should think of something.

He purposely found a day with excellent weather, stayed until dusk, and sneaked into Jun Huailang's room.

"Brother, the weather is fine today, shall I take you somewhere?" With a mysterious smile on his face, he grabbed Jun Huailang and said.

"Where are you going?" Jun Huailang was puzzled.

Jun Xiaowu kept his mouth shut mysteriously.

"If you come with me, you will know." He said with a smile.
