Chapter 13: gambling
Wen Chi suspects that Shi Ye has long been disliked by Yuegui and others, but he is just using this pretext to do what he has long wanted to do, but think about it the other way around - the future of Shi Ye Tyrants always do whatever they want. Even the emperor can't control him. If he wants to kill, he will kill. When do you need to design a reason to kill a person?
But that's not the point.
The point is that if Yuegui and others are really killed for this matter, I am afraid that many people in the East Palace will blame him for the death of Yuegui and others. After all, many people think that Yuegui Shan's death has nothing to do with him.
Wen Chi is not a person of this era, he used to live in a society ruled by law in the 21st century, and knew that murder is a crime since he was a child, although he does not know whether he will adapt to the laws of this era in the future, But he didn't want to let himself take a few lives on his back so quickly.
Seeing Eunuch Zhu walking out in small steps.
Wen Chi gritted his teeth, his heart swayed, got up and knelt on the ground: "His Royal Highness is the master of the villain, the villain is grateful, but the villain has seen the son of Yue, if the moon The son lost his life because of the villain, and the villain will feel bad about it, so the villain dared to intercede for the son of Yue, and begged His Royal Highness to spare their lives."
As soon as these words came out, Eunuch Zhu immediately stopped, as if waiting for the prince's answer.
Wen Chi tremblingly kept on his knees, with a soft blanket on his forehead, he could not see Shi Ye's expression at this moment, but he could feel Shi Ye's eyes very clearly cruising on his back.
So slow...
As if the hunter was looking up at the prey trapped in the fence.
Wen Chi was frightened by his own thoughts, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Just when he thought that Shi Ye would reject him, he suddenly heard Shi Ye say coldly: "Do you want to plead for them?"
Wen Chi didn't dare, and said cautiously: "The villain just doesn't want them to lose their lives because of the villain."
"You are kind-hearted." Shi Ye laughed, and there was no hint of laughter in his laughter, "Why don't you do this, this palace will give them a chance too, you take out An item is exchanged with Ben Gong, and if Ben Gong likes it, they will spare their few lives."
Wen Chi: “…”
He wailed in his heart, the original owner was just the concubine of the servant of the Ministry of Rites, how could there be anything rare on him? Even if there is, it may not satisfy Shi Ye.
Shi Ye is a noble prince!
There are so many rare and precious treasures that each region pays tribute to the imperial court every year, which one is not chosen by Shi Ye? Shi Ye's words completely blocked his back path.
Shi Ye asked: "Can't you get it?"
Wen Chi was silent, thinking that he could not save Yuegui and the others.
The next moment, Shi Ye's words changed: "Zhu Xian, take him down."
Wen Chi was dumbfounded on the spot.
As Eunuch Zhu's footsteps approached, Shi Ye sneered and said, "Bengong kindly gave you a chance, you don't need to appreciate it, since you are so reluctant to part with them, Igong is just like you. Let you accompany them on Huangquan Road."
Fuck!
Is there something wrong with this stupid prince? How can you think of one out?
Eunuch Zhu moved quickly, winking at the **** next to him and grabbing Wen Chi's arm.
At this moment, Wen Chi suddenly burst out with a strong desire to survive, he threw off Eunuch Zhu's hand, knelt back down again, and said with a trembling voice, "Your Highness, Prince, little boy. When I think of it, there is something in the villain, maybe I can show it to His Royal Highness."
"Oh?" Shi Ye came to be interested, didn't ask what it was, just said, "Go get it."
Wen Chi breathed a sigh of relief, and did not dare to delay, and hurried out with Eunuch Zhu.
Out of the study, he touched his forehead, only to feel the cold sweat on his hand.
From the Prince's study to the bamboo flute residence, it takes a lot of effort to go back and forth.
About half an hour later, Wen Chi returned to the study with the food box.
He bent slightly and carefully placed the food box on the desk in front of the prince. Open the lid and bring out the palm-sized cake on a delicate plate.
This is a new cake made by Ruofang and Ruotao today. They didn't have time to put the fruit on it, and only smeared a few layers of very heavy cream. At first glance, it was a strange white thing— It really doesn't look like food, and it doesn't look very beautiful.
Wen Chi carefully placed the cake and the silver spoon, and then silently took two steps back.
He and Eunuch Zhu stood side by side, and out of the corner of the light, Eunuch Zhu could see that after seeing the white thing clearly, a fat white face turned from white to red, from red to blue, green to red to red Brilliant.
Eunuch Zhu calmly suppressed the surprise in his heart, just now he did not follow Wen Chi into the back room, nor did he know that Wen Chi had put such a strange thing in the food box, he quietly took a look Glancing at Wen Chi, that look was no different from looking at a dead man.
Shi Ye still had that sullen expression on his face, he couldn't tell what he was thinking, he propped his chin up, looked at the white thing curiously for a while, then raised his eyes to glance Xiang Wenchi: "What is this?"
Wen Chi replied, "If you return to His Royal Highness, this is a cake."
Shi Ye: "Cake?"
Wen Chi explained: "It's a kind of food, like pastries, it's something to pass the time. These days, the villain has nothing to do, so he and the palace maids and eunuchs in Zhudiju ponder these things together. , I didn't think that we really figured out the cake, but this is not as good as the usual meal of His Royal Highness, the villain is showing his ugliness in front of His Royal Highness."
After finishing speaking, Wen Chi lowered his eyes and continued to stare at his toes.
The prince did not speak, and the others in the study did not dare to speak out without permission.
Eunuch Zhu listened to Wen Chi's words, and couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart, this gentleman Wen is honest, does not fight or grabs, but it makes him look at him with admiration, but unfortunately he has an elm head - His Royal Highness is who? His Royal Highness the Prince is the future emperor and the crown prince. How can he be attracted to that strange-looking thing if he has never tasted any delicacies from the mountains and seas?
It's better to let the maids make some delicious cakes, maybe His Royal Highness is happy, so he will spare his life.
A pity, a pity.
After thinking about this, Eunuch Zhu naturally planned to let the little **** remove the plate of cake and the food box together, but before his words were spoken, he saw His Royal Highness reach out and pick up the small spoon, scoop it up A bite of the cake into his mouth.
For a time, Eunuch Zhu was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.
He rubbed his eyes quickly, thinking he was wrong.
But the fact is that he read it right, His Royal Highness really ate the cake.
"His Royal Highness!" Eunuch Zhu was so frightened that he cried, holding the Buddha dust at a loss, "Absolutely, this cake has not been inspected by the servants, so it can't be eaten!"
Shi Ye glanced at Eunuch Zhu, his eyes cold: "When does this palace need your Zhu Xian's consent to eat?"
Hearing this, Eunuch Zhu turned pale, bit his lip, and swallowed the rest of the words into his stomach.
Shi Ye ignored Eunuch Zhu, but put the cake into his mouth one by one.
Wen Chi only dared to look at Shi Ye quietly from the corner of his eye. This was the second time he saw Shi Ye eat. The first time was when he stayed here and guarded with Eunuch Zhu. Ye had dinner, and he found that Shi Ye still looked so good.
Although Shi Ye ate quickly, he exuded a calm taste in his gestures, even if he had burn marks on half of his face, this scene was pleasing to the eye.
Soon, Shi Ye ate the whole cake.
Wen Chi buried his head deeper, subconsciously holding his breath.
Shi Ye took the golden handkerchief Zhu Gonggong handed over, wiped his mouth slowly, and said, "No wonder the milk from the East Palace has been sent to your bamboo flute curie like running water recently, dare to love You took it to do this."
Wen Chi blushed.
Since he spent the night here at Shi Ye, everyone in the East Palace thought he was favored by Shi Ye, and even the palace maids and eunuchs were enthusiastic about Zhudiju, but whatever he said he wanted They hurriedly sent it to him.
For this reason, he asked the palace maids and eunuchs for milk and fruit.
I thought Shi Ye didn't ask these trivial things, but he didn't expect him to know everything.
Wen Chi endured the heat on his face, bowed his head and said, "It's the villain who is confused, and I hope His Royal Highness will atone for his sins."
Shi Ye said, "Zhu Xian."
Eunuch Zhu stepped forward: "Yes."
Shi Ye said it very lightly: "Those people, don't kill them, just hit them with a few sticks."
Eunuch Zhu: "Yes." After speaking, he withdrew.
Shi Ye's eyes fell on Wen Chi again.
Wen Chi instantly became tense and stood up involuntarily.
"Look at Ben Gong." Shi Ye's tone was so light that he couldn't tell what he meant.
Wen Chi clenched his hands that were sweating, and slowly raised his head to look at Shi Ye.
I have to say, Shi Ye's face is really a double sky, the right side is covered with terrifying burn marks, it looks extremely scary, but the left side is half intact face, with thin wind eyes The lips and the bridge of the nose are high and straight, and the delicate and somewhat unreal facial features give birth to a sense of indifference that refuses to be thousands of miles away.
He remembered that Ping An said that Shi Ye was like the sun. He didn't think it before, but when he saw it just now, it really looked like the sun, and the light was so strong and dazzling.
"How did you know that Ben Gong Xitian?"
After listening to Shi Ye's words, Wen Chi completely relaxed the tense string in his mind.
Looks like he got it right.
In the novel, it was written in one stroke that Shi Ye was fond of sweets as a child, but it changed when he grew up and no longer showed his love for sweets.
Wen Chi naturally did not dare to say these words out, he considered for a moment, then respectfully said: "I hope His Royal Highness forgives his sins, the villain does not know that His Royal Highness is happy, and I am ashamed to say it, because the villain is really looking for it in his hands. There is nothing worthy of His Royal Highness's appearance, so the villain can only take out the cake he made, and the cake is full of the villain's pure heart, I just hope His Royal Highness can taste it."
"I tasted it..."
Wen Chi's face was overjoyed, and he heard Shi Ye say, "It's a lot of frosting to make this cake, right?"
Wen Chi: “…”
It turned out that Shi Ye could only taste the taste of icing sugar, which was a happy one.
"Tell me, what do you want?" Shi Ye said, "This palace will reward you."
Wen Chi's face was full of joy again, he hurriedly knelt down, but the words twirled around his mouth, or instinctively changed to rainbow farts: "Little man, don't ask for anything else , I only wish that His Royal Highness the Prince will live a healthy life and get what he wishes."
Shi Ye smiled: "Since you have nothing else to ask for, that's all."
Wen Chi was still waiting for Shi Ye to ask questions, how could he know that this idiot was not polite at all, he hurriedly pretended to be difficult: "The villain does have a wish, the villain has been in the palace for some time. Now, sometimes when I talk about my father at home, I miss him, and I want to go back and visit my father."
Shi Ye said: "Didn't you ask for nothing earlier? Did you ask for something so soon?"
Wen Chi: “…”
If Shi Ye is placed in modern times, he must be a lever, give him a lever, and he can lever up the entire earth.
Fortunately, Shi Ye seemed to be just teasing Wen Chi, and before Wen Chi could speak, he waved his hand: "Bengong allows it, go back and prepare."
