The prince is no longer a man

When Duan Yueli woke up, he had a splitting headache, and when he realized that he was lying on the bed, he heard a concerned voice from beside the bed.

"Fifth Prince, are you awake?"

Duan Yueli looked at Pei Rong who was sitting by the bed, and sat up with the discomfort: "Why are you here?"

Pei Rong said: "Have you forgotten, Fifth Prince, you passed out on the east corridor, so I took you back to Ganquan Palace."

Speaking of which, Pei Rong rubbed his shoulders, and muttered: "You look thin, I didn't expect to be so heavy, I'm going to die of exhaustion."

Duan Yueli turned her head away, with a stubborn expression of resistance: "You don't have to worry about me."

Duan Yueli's words were really not pleasant, but Pei Rong just sighed helplessly, unable to get angry with this life.

During Duan Yueli's coma, Pei Rong once called several guards to help, but when those people heard the name of the fifth prince, they all found various reasons to refuse.

Pei Rong can also see a thing or two about the attitude of these people towards Duan Yueli. If he doesn't care, it is possible that Duan Yueli will pass out. People brought it back to Ganquan Palace.

"Okay, I don't care about you."

Pei Rong followed Duan Yueli's words, got up without hesitation and walked out the door.

Duan Yueli suddenly turned his head to look, his eyes seemed to be struggling a bit, he moved his lips soundlessly, and finally watched Pei Rong disappear from his sight.

Only Duan Yueli was left alone in the room leaning against the head of the bed, with his head hanging down, his long hair scattered on his cheeks, covering his face and making it difficult for people to see his expression at the moment.

Not long after, a series of footsteps sounded outside the door, Duan Yueli didn't raise his head, and remained motionless.

Then Duan Yueli heard Pei Rong's voice.

"I'm scalded to death! I wanted to ask the maid to bring medicine, but I didn't even see anyone!"

With a sound of "dong", Pei Rong impatiently put the medicine bowl on the table, touching his ears so hot, because he moved too fast, a few drops even splashed out.

"You can take this medicine..."

Halfway through speaking, Pei Rong found that Duan Yueli was looking at him for a moment, he touched his face subconsciously, and asked, "What do you see me doing?"

Pei Rong's words seemed to bring Duan Yueli back to his senses, he quickly turned his head, never looked at Pei Rong again, but asked in his mouth: "Didn't you leave?"

"That's right," Pei Rong admitted generously, "Didn't you come back after taking the medicine?"

Looking at the steaming medicine on the table, Duan Yueli pursed her lips, and her voice became hoarse: "What are you going to do to get the medicine? Didn't I tell you to leave me alone."

"You man!"

No matter how good-tempered Pei Rong was, he felt a little impatient, but he thought of all kinds of troubles when he was sick. Every time Princess Shun tried to persuade her with kind words, Pei Rong's heart softened again. The voice also softened a bit.

"After you drink the medicine, I promise not to bother you."

After Duan Yueli took the medicine bowl silently, he didn't move for a long time.

After about one stick of incense, the medicine was going to be cold, and he still didn't take a sip for a few months, Pei Rong couldn't help but urged: "Drink it quickly!"

Suddenly there was a stabbing pain in the palm of his hand, the pain made Pei Rong gasp, and after a closer look, it turned out that the wound had split open again, a few drops of blood oozed out from the wound, smudged into a small ball of red .

"Your hand..." Duan Yueli also saw all this, and said hesitantly.

Pei Rong has always been a squeamish character, so he gave Duan Yueli a cast eye, and said bluntly: "When I took you back to Oasis Palace, the wound opened, you're lucky, you don't even want to drink the medicine, and it just made me hurt again. "

Duan Yueli understood that she had no reason not to drink this bowl of medicine, and when she was about to hand the medicine to her mouth, she heard Pei Rong exclaim again, as if she understood something.

"I see! Are you afraid of suffering?"

"I take medicine just like you. I always procrastinate and don't want to drink it. I have to prepare a plate of candied fruit before I can barely take a sip."

Duan Yueli paused her hands, lowered her eyes and responded in a low voice: "Well, I'm afraid of hardship."

After receiving Duan Yueli's reply, Pei Rong felt a bit distressed: "But I won't be able to get candied fruit for a while, even if I go to the East Palace, I can only bring them to you tomorrow, what should I do?"

Duan Yueli heard the words, raised his head and drank the medicine in his hand, then fixedly looked at Pei Rong: "Candied fruit, tomorrow."

Pei Rong seemed to be stunned for a moment, then smiled brightly: "Okay, I'll bring you candied fruit tomorrow."

Duan Jingxun was sitting alone in the bedroom, playing with a small porcelain vase in his hands. Chang Bin walked in quickly from outside, bowed his head and said, "Prince, the prince has returned."

"Really?" Duan Jingxun asked with a calm expression, "Where did the prince go?"

"The prince met the fifth prince who was unconscious, so he kindly sent him back to Ganquan Palace."

"Fifth brother?"

For some reason, Duan Jingxun paused in his hands: "He still likes saving people so much."

Seeing that Chang Bin hadn't retreated, Duan Jingxun said coldly, "Let's talk about anything else."

Chang Bin: "As soon as the prince came back, he complained that his hands hurt. Do you want to..."

The porcelain bottle in his hand was warmed up, Duan Jingxun asked calmly, "He asked you to say that?"

Chang Bin lowered his head, and replied: "No, it was someone from Zhaohua Palace who came to report."

The porcelain bottle was thrown by Duan Jingxun. This bottle was filled with high-quality wound medicine, which was very effective in healing wounds without leaving any scars. Chang Bin hurriedly stretched out his hands to catch it.

"Bring the medicine to Shizi."

Pei Rong lay on the table, looked at the small and exquisite porcelain bottle in front of her, and reached out to pick it up.

The porcelain vase whirled on the table, Pei Rong looked at it thoughtfully, and began to mutter.

"He gave me the medicine, why didn't he give it in person?"

"No, why did he give me medicine?"

"What's going on with the prince recently..."

In the end, Pei Rong simply put the porcelain bottle away on the table and came to a conclusion.

No matter when, he couldn't understand Duan Jingxun.

The second day was the day when the emperor celebrated Huo Qin's achievements. In order to show his kindness, officials from the second rank and above could bring their family members to attend. The large scale showed the emperor's love for Huo Qin.

During the day, Pei Rong still went to the Dongyuan Martial Arts Field as usual, but today Duan Jingxun and Huo Qin were not there, because he still remembered what happened in Duan Yueli, so Pei Rong left early.

Hearing that Concubine Shun came to the palace earlier, Pei Rong was overjoyed and couldn't wait to see Concubine Shun.

After talking about the conversation, the mother and son sat down together. Thinking about the matter of sending someone to the palace earlier, after Pei Rong asked in a low voice, she couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed when she got the exact answer from Concubine Shun.

It's just that Pei Rong felt that someone was looking at him vaguely, looked in the direction, and found that it was Ning Shiqing.

Ning Shiqing met Pei Rong's gaze and raised his glass from afar.

Pei Rong:?

They don't seem to be very familiar with each other, do they?

Pei Rong looked away, pretending lamely that he didn't see it, raising a glass to toast, it was really unnecessary.

not to mention

Sheng Yuan was sitting under Ning Shiqing, watching their movements the whole time, Pei Rong couldn't ignore Sheng Yuan's eyes, so he could only ignore Ning Shiqing.

Ning Shiqing had a graceful posture, without any embarrassment. She put the wine glass in with her slender fingers, and drank it with her head raised.

This beautiful movement shows the elegance of the literati.

The time of the banquet was set at You hour. Following the eunuch's announcement in a drawn-out voice, Duan Jingxun and the emperor and queen slowly walked into the hall. After everyone shouted in unison, the banquet officially began.

At the gate of Ganquan Palace, Duan Yueli rarely walked out of the palace gate, only to hear a loud noise, and then a large piece of light shone on his delicate face.

It turned out that brilliant fireworks bloomed one after another suddenly in the dark blue sky, almost lighting up the sky.

Even in the palace, fireworks are only set off on important days to add to the fun. The palace ladies and eunuchs all ran out one after another to watch this rare beauty.

Duan Yueli just glanced at it and no longer had any interest. His eyes were stubborn and deep looking forward.

There is only one road leading to Ganquan Palace. This road, which has been in disrepair for a long time, is not lit by any palace lamps. It is dark and cold, just like this Ganquan Palace.

But tonight, whether it's this road or this Oasis Palace, Duan Yueli has a different feeling in his heart.

This feeling is called anticipation.

Duan Yueli leaned against the door frame like this, waiting expectantly.
