The loyal minister was forced to marry the traitor

"Pfft..." Bai Yan almost spit out his wine with a sip of wine, what does it mean to rekindle an old relationship? !

Mr. Bai looked at Huai Chun with a look of surprise on his face. Could this be something that can come out of your mouth? !

Being looked at like this, Huai Chun was not annoyed, he poured another full glass of wine for Bai Yan, "Didn't you send someone to find out what people say about you?"

Bai Yan was slightly startled.

Huai Chun gave the wine cup to his hand, "Although Yongzhou Mansion is far away from Yingdu, don't forget that there are eyes everywhere, and those flattering villains are all staring at your fault. Marquis Pingjin is half close, so they write a lot..."

"It's trivial to say that the two of you rekindled your old relationship. I'm most afraid that others will invent a charge of collusion between the two of you. You haven't forgotten how the Pingjin Marquis Mansion was splashed with dirty water back then, have you?"

Huai Chun sighed, "I said earlier that the Marquis of Pingjin is in the northern border and you are in Yingdu. This is good for everyone, not to mention that he is now a man of meritorious service. There are red-eyed and jealous villains in Yingdu, and Wei Chengfeng is that." One, the day you left Yingdu... why did the grass pavilion outside the city suddenly collapse, haven't you thought about it?"

"Xiao Jiuqin will investigate." Bai Yan said suddenly.

Huai Chun was taken aback for a moment, looking at his pale face, something flashed in his heart, but he suppressed it in an instant, "He did check and taught Wei Chengfeng a lesson, but Bai Yan, this is not the first time this kind of thing happened and it won't be the first time. The last time... you escaped a catastrophe that day, but that idiot Wei Chengfeng has no skills, but what if the one in the palace wants your life in the future?"

When the emperor was angry, he buried a million corpses.

No one can stop the emperor from killing people, it doesn't matter if Huai Chun is the palm print eunuch, no one can save Bai Yan.

"Besides, the past of the Marquis of Pingjin is still in front of us. In the eyes of outsiders, you and Xiao Jiuqin, Marquis of Pingjin, have an unbreakable relationship. If the two of you get close, what will others think? It's inevitable that the old things will be revisited. At that time... it won't be possible to cover up everything by killing some people."

"So... can't I even say a word?" Bai Yan raised his hand and drank the wine in one gulp, redness rose from the corners of his eyes little by little...

"Okay, stop drinking." Huai Chun pressed Bai Yan's hand, but it was gently pulled out, and Bai Yan's lips were moistened by the wine, "Huai Chun, you don't like me being involved with Xiao Jiuqin One piece, is it?"

Huai Chun froze.

"I've known you for five years..." Bai Yan coughed softly due to the smell of alcohol, and he didn't look at Huai Chun, as if he was saying to himself or to Huai Chun, "I believe you are For my own good, but... Huai Chun, if I could keep my heart, I should have died five years ago..."

"Living is not that easy. If I could really ignore everything, I would rather die early in the morning... But, no, I can't!"

Bai Yan stared red, "I can't!"

"You understand? I can't..."

With a hoarse voice and bloodshot eyes, Bai Yan clenched his hands tightly, "Xiao Jiuqin is my life..."

Huai Chun was completely stunned.

Seeing a person as his own life was an emotion he had never experienced before.

It is true that when Bai Yan said this sentence, he should have laughed jokingly, ironically, and even questioned him, but... Huai Chun was speechless looking at the person who looked like he had been pumped out of three souls. .

"...The Xiao family owes you a kindness, and you don't necessarily have to pay it back with your own life. If Marquis Pingjin is still here, I'm afraid I wouldn't want you to be like this..."

After a while, Huai Chun persuaded him without hope.

Sure enough, Bai Yan shook his head unmoved, "It's not for repaying the favor." He poured himself wine and drank it all, "I have no intention of repaying Xiao Jiuqin or making up for it. He deserves to be treated wholeheartedly by me. something besides doping..."

There is no doubt that Bai Yan understood this from the very beginning.

Kindness and "Never mind you" are two independent words, but if he is a little biased, it is unfair to Xiao Jiuqin.

Xiao Jiuqin is not a poor person, he doesn't need Bai Yan's sympathy, and he doesn't need anyone's sympathy.

"But it's impossible for the two of you to be together." Huai Chun seemed to wake up Bai Yan with a stick, he stubbornly wanted to pull Bai Yan out of the mire.

He knew better than others that Bai Yan had deep affection, if he wanted to trust a person, he would have discarded any doubts, without any impurities.

And like it, even more so.

Xiao Jiuqin is a very good person, which even Huai Chun cannot deny.

But "good" and "suitable" are two different conclusions. Looking at the people in the world, Xiao Jiuqin is the most unsuitable person for Bai Yan.

"I understand." Bai Yan unconsciously drank two more glasses of wine.

When Huai Chun came to his senses, Bai Yan was half leaning on his arm, his eyes were blurred, his lips were moist with wine, Huai Chun wanted to wipe it off for him, but he was slapped away, "Don't touch me... "

Said that he is not sober, but he can still recognize the person in front of him as Huai Chun, "Hui Chun...I don't think I'm wrong..."

A strand of broken hair on the sideburns covered his right eye. Bai Yan wiped it, but he applied too much force. He wiped it directly at his eye, and the spot soon turned red.

Huai Chun felt a little regretful, he shouldn't have said so much, causing Bai Yan to drink so much.

"I'll take you back." Bai Yan stretched out his hand to try to fill up the remaining wine, but Huai Chun smashed the jar with a wave of his sleeve, and the sound of the porcelain jar falling on the ground made Bai Yan tremble in fright.

Huaichun rubbed the hair on his forehead comfortingly, coaxing softly, "It's okay..."

"Huaichun..." Bai Yan's eyes were closed, his wrist was resting weakly on the edge of the table, while he was resting on the overturned wine, directly soaking his hair...

"A Yan..." Huai Chun subconsciously called out to him.

With a sudden movement of Bai Yan, the dazed stare immediately sat up and turned his head to look for someone.

"What are you doing?" Huai Chun barely supported Bai Yan, who almost fell off the stool.

"He's calling me..." Bai Yan gripped Huai Chun's sleeve, "He's calling me again..."

With a distressed expression, the end of Bai Yan's eyes seemed to be slowly swollen, and his foot suddenly stepped on the air, Huai Chun could hardly catch him, "Bo Yan, what are you doing?!"

"No..." Bai Yan couldn't stand still at all, and he didn't want to lean in Huai Chun's arms, "He didn't call me...I heard it wrong, how could he call me 'A Yan'..."

"I got it wrong..."

"...not him, not..."

Huai Chun's heart felt as if he was being squeezed. He never expected that a simple address would cause such a big reaction from Bai Yan.

The table was in a mess, the floor was full of broken porcelain, Huai Chun was afraid that he would not be able to support Bai Yan, so he called someone in, unexpectedly, as soon as the little yellow door entered, Bai Yan suddenly struggled violently.

"Bai Yan!"

Huai Chun only had time to let out an exclamation before seeing Bai Yan's knees go limp and he fell to the ground...

"Boom! Pop..."

A hand stretched out from the side to almost hug Bai Yan, the small yellow door in front of him was knocked aside, even Huai Chun was forced to take a big step back, bumping into the corner of the table with his back, directly He hissed in pain.

"Elder-in-law..." Xiao Huangmen ran over to check Huai Chun's situation as soon as he stood firm.

"It's nothing." Huai Chun blocked the outstretched hand, and subconsciously went to see Bai Yan's situation first.

"His wounds were not healed yet, so my father-in-law asked him to drink, because he was afraid that he would not die, right?!" The hostility in Xiao Jiuqin's eyes forced Huai Chun to back up, and before Huai Chun could speak, he hugged him horizontally leave.

When Huai Chun woke up, he hurried downstairs and almost tripped on the steps. Seeing that Xiao Jiuqin was about to disappear, he shouted, "You can't protect him!"

Xiao Jiuqin kept walking, "Do your business!"

Huai Chun was completely stunned, he leaned limply by the door, people passing by couldn't stop looking at him.

Xiao Huangmen was a little worried about him, so he said carefully, "Elder-in-law, do you need to call someone to pick up Master Bai?"

Huai Chun remained expressionless, "No need, Marquis Pingjin won't hurt him..."

"But father-in-law, you..."

"Needless to say, let's go back." After walking for a while, he suddenly ordered, "Find more people and suppress all the news about Bai Yan. Let it out."

"Yes."

----

There were not many servants in the Marquis of Pingjin, they were all the servants that Xiao Jiuqin asked He Zhaoyuan to buy from Ren Yazi before returning to Yingdu.

One of them was a boy who fled from the southwest prefecture. His name was Wen Yu. He was originally the son of a merchant in a small town. He was harassed by bandits and his family was ruined. He Zhaoyuan bought it.

He was quick-witted and knew some poems and books, so he was promoted by Xiao Jiuqin to be the housekeeper, and he took care of the general affairs of the mansion on weekdays.

When Xiao Jiuqin returned home with Bai Yan in his arms, Wen Yu was only surprised for a moment, and the next moment he ordered his servants to boil water and make sober soup, while he personally prepared clean clothes and sent them to Xiao Jiuqin.

After Xiao Jiuqin came back, he lived in the same yard as before, and when he put Bai Yan on the couch, he was still in a daze for a moment.

Back then, Bai Yan slept with him on this couch almost every day, and the scene of the two laughing and laughing was vivid in his memory, as if he could see them again when he opened his eyes again.

"Ayan..."

Xiao Jiuqin's fingertips slid from Bai Yan's cheeks to his ear, "You are like a knife... In this life, you just stuck/into my chest..."

Not pulling it out is a hidden danger, but pulling it out...is a serious injury!

Strong alcohol hurts the body, Bai Yan used to not be able to drink so much, but now most of the jar of wine has been drunk, and the stamina slowly comes back up, he frowned and groaned softly.

Xiao Jiuqin gently rubbed his spleen and stomach with his hand, turned his head and asked Wen Yu, "Is the hangover soup ready yet?"

"Master Hou, wait a moment, it's almost here." Wen Yu soaked the handkerchief and handed it to Xiao Jiuqin, and he couldn't even take half a step closer.

Xiao Jiuqin carefully wiped the sweat from Bai Yan's forehead, seeing his frowning brows, wished he could hurt him.

After changing the water, Bai Yan's face became paler and paler, Xiao Jiuqin urged Wen Yu, "Call a doctor."

Hearing Yu immediately asked someone to invite him, and the hangover soup was ready, so he hurriedly dried it and handed it to Xiao Jiuqin, "Master Hou."

Xiao Jiuqin took it, and used the old method to feed Bai Yan the medicine. He was slightly surprised when he heard that, but he suppressed all curiosity and took care of everything with all his heart.

The hangover soup had bottomed out, and the doctor also arrived. After checking the pulse, he only prescribed some medicine for clearing the spleen and protecting the stomach, and left.

The atmosphere in the room was weird, Wen Yu knew the way and left, leaving only Xiao Jiuqin staring at the half-drowsy Bai Yan without blinking.

"You are never a moment's reassurance..." Before he could completely let go, God knows how flustered he was when the people below reported that Bai Yan had followed a small yellow gate.

I'm afraid something will happen to Bai Yan in a place that he can't take care of.

"Should I tie you by my side to be at ease..." Xiao Jiuqin's voice was deep and his eyes were uncertain.
