Chapter 53: Gift
Wen Chi felt a little sore when he raised his hand, but Shi Ye still didn't see Shi Ye and took the robe.
After a while, Shi Ye suddenly glanced down at Wen Chi's bare legs, and said lightly, "Keep it."
After saying that, he turned around and jumped up the wall not far away.
Wen Chi watched as Shi Ye's gray-black figure melted into the dark night, he retracted his hand, and suddenly felt that the night wind was a little cold on him, but he did not re-wrap Shi Ye's clothes robe, but quickened his pace and walked into the house.
Ruofang and Ruotao didn't know that Wen Chi left Zhudiju at night, the two little girls should have fallen asleep in the dormitory.
As for peace—
Since Wen Chi began to suspect that Ping An may be a spy arranged by some people, he threw a lot of heavy errands to Ping An, and even let Ping Ping take over the errands of Ruofang and Ruotao, so that Ping An looked at him more and more complaining, and avoiding him more and more.
But Wen Chi couldn't see it, and it wasn't him who was suffering.
After Wen Chi made sure everyone was asleep, he quietly went back to the bedroom to get his clothes and slipped into the bathroom.
The bath room was dark, and two candles were lit, and the candle light barely illuminated a corner of the bath room.
Wen Chi was worried that the candlelight would attract Ruofang and Ruotao, so he did not dare to light all the candles in the bath room. He walked around the bathroom for a time or two before realizing that hot water was needed here.
Enough.
Until now, Wen Chi's legs are still weak.
It took almost all his strength to come over just now, he leaned on the edge of the empty wooden barrel and carefully sat on the ground.
Although he and Shi Ye didn't make it to the end and didn't leave anything in it, he felt very uncomfortable, and he was lying on the grass not long ago, and his hair and body were stained There is a lot of grass clippings, and it still needs to be cleaned.
Wen Chi rested for a long time, and when she regained some strength, she was ready to wipe her body with cold water.
Fortunately, Ruofang and Ruotao had some water in the tank, so he didn't have to go to the well to fetch water.
Wen Chi gritted his teeth and stood up, and was about to get some water from the water tank when he heard a slight knock on the door.
"Young Master Wen." Ping An's anxious voice came in very clearly in the quiet night, "Are you inside?"
Wen Chi was taken aback and hurriedly pulled up his clothes in a guilty conscience. After he calmed down, he pretended to be nonchalant and said, "It's me."
Ping'an asked: "Master Wen wants to take a bath?"
"I'm a little hot, I want to take a bath." After Wen Chi finished speaking, he was instantly blessed, and confidently commanded the peace outside, "By the way, go and help me burn some hot water."
Peace was silent.
Even if Ping An did not speak, Wen Chi could guess that Ping An must regret knocking on the door just now.
After a while, Ping An Cai said, "The servant will go now, Young Master Wen wait a moment."
Wen Chi continued to sit by the barrel and wait.
After waiting for a long time, Wen Chi heard the footsteps of Ping An carrying a bucket. The bucket specially used to carry water is neither small nor large, and it takes a dozen buckets of water to take a bath. The barrel is full.
So Ping An went back and forth ten times like this,
After filling the bucket with water, Ping An was too tired to straighten up.
Wen Chi said gratefully, "Thank you for your hard work."
Ping An wiped his sweaty face and forced a smile: "This is what a slave should do."
Wen Chi waved his hand: "Go and rest."
Safely carrying the bucket ready to leave.
Wen Chi remembered something again, and hurriedly called Ping An: "By the way, have you heard some news about the Hua family?"
Hearing this, Ping An looked at Wen Chi strangely for a while, and then whispered, "Why did Young Master Wen remember to ask about the Hua family?"
You're not the only one in this courtyard who knows the most.
Wen Chi thought so in his heart, but he said: "I saw a lot of flower family at the birthday banquet of the eldest princess a few days ago, and it happened that His Royal Highness's biological mother, the flower queen, is also a flower family. So I want to know more about it."
Wen Chi's expression is sincere, and it doesn't look like he's lying.
Ping An hesitated for a while, but shook his head: "The Hua family is a famous family in the capital, even if a distant relative of the Hua family coughs twice, it will make a bunch of sons and brothers in the capital ask questions. The voice changes, and the slaves are just servants in the palace, how do you know about so many Hua Family things?"
Seeing that Ping An was reluctant to say more, Wen Chi did not force him to leave.
After he left safely, Wen Chi took off his clothes and walked into the barrel naked.
He is fully awake now, and when he thinks back to the past, he just feels extremely absurd.
Why did he become like that?
His brain at the time couldn't think about anything, he could only smell the blood on Shi Ye's body.
Ye rubbed against his body to ease the intense anxiety in his heart.
In fact, on the night when Shi Ye fed him to drink blood, he tasted a hint of sweetness in Shi Ye's blood. After drinking a few mouthfuls of blood, his mind became confused. He didn't even know that he and Shi Ye slept in the same bed later.
But he wasn't as erratic that night.
Is it related to the amount of bleeding?
After all, that night Shi Ye only used his teeth to make a small incision on his fingertips, and the amount of bleeding was far less scary than tonight.
Wen Chi soaked his whole body in warm water, only the part above his nose was exposed.
The only certainty is—
Shi Ye's blood is really powerful, and it can be used in multiple functions. No wonder the long princess will come over and beg Shi Ye to receive treatment in a low voice.
The next day, Wen Chi slept until the third day of the sun before waking up.
I don't know if it's his psychological effect, he still has some pain in the back, and the strange feeling makes his walking posture look very strange, even Ruotao who serves him breakfast can see it .
Ruotao worried: "Master, are you not feeling well?"
Wen Chi was suddenly asked this kind of thing by a little girl, and suddenly blushed with a guilty conscience, and hurriedly shook his head into a rattle: "I'm fine, I'm fine."
Ruotao said: "But your face is so ugly, why don't you ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look at your son."
Wen Chi also thinks that he needs to see a doctor, but it's too shameful for a doctor to examine him, and he doesn't want others to know what happened last night.
After thinking about it, Wen Chi still rejected Ruotao's proposal: "I just didn't sleep well, I'll just go to sleep for a while."
Although Ruotao is worried, but Wen Chi insists so much, she can't say anything else.
After breakfast, Wen Chi went to bed again.
In ancient times, it was unseemly to be bedridden. Ever since Wen Chi realized this, he has tried his best to avoid going to bed and paralyzed, but now he is not only unwell , and the **** hurts, I really don't want to lie on the chair.
Fortunately, there are only four people in this Bamboo Flute Curie, so they will not be gossiped by others.
In the afternoon, Wen Chi slept dry, so he got up, poured a glass of water, and went out for a walk.
As a result, he was taken aback.
After hearing Wen Chi's shout, Ruotao turned around and immediately burst into a beautiful smile: "Young Master is up."
Wen Chi pointed at those people: "Who are they?"
Ruo Tao said: "They are all people arranged by Eunuch Zhu, saying that they are serving the son together."
After finishing speaking, Ruo Tao frowned and said sharply to those people, "I haven't seen Young Master Wen soon."
Those people were frightened by Ruo Tao's suddenly sharp tone, and the next moment they greeted Wen Chi in unison.
Wen Chi counted the number of these people.
Eight people in total.
Too many.
When Wen Chi was in Wen Mansion, there were only two or three people serving him, and when he came to the East Palace, there were only two or three people serving him, and he himself was not used to being served by others.
At this moment, eight people came, which caused Wen Chi to have a headache.
But soon, he remembered a very important question.
"Our Bamboo Flute Residence is too small, only a few rooms, where do they live?"
"Young Master, don't worry, Eunuch Zhu has already made arrangements." Ruo Tao smiled, "His Royal Highness instructed Eunuch Zhu to find a new courtyard, not far from here, that courtyard has been cleaned out. , they live there temporarily, and the son and slaves will slowly move there."
Wen Chi was stunned: "Is this the will of His Royal Highness?"
He kicked Shi Ye with both feet last night, and even kicked Shi Ye's chest.
Looking back on it now, Wen Chi only felt a lingering fear in his heart, just the two feet that kicked the prince on the body, I'm afraid that letting him die a hundred times is not enough to apologize.
He thought that Shi Ye would come to him to settle accounts, but he didn't expect the fact to be the exact opposite of what he imagined.
It really is the heart of the prince and the needle in the sea, Shi Ye doesn't play cards according to the usual route at all.
"That's right, son." Ruo Tao took a wooden box from a palace maid and handed it to Wen Chi, "Zhu Gongbus is a servant, I must bring this to you."
Wen Chi took the wooden box blankly: "What is this?"
Ruotao shook her head: "I don't know."
Wen Chi took the wooden box back to the bedroom, closed the door, and shut out Ruo Tao's voice of continuing to teach the newcomers.
He sat down at the table, put the wooden box on the table, and opened the lid curiously.
Afterwards, he saw a few things lying quietly inside the wooden box, which seemed to be made of jade, as thick and as long, and could feel a warm feeling when touched.
Wen Chi picked up one of them and glanced at it, and quickly understood what it was.
In an instant, his entire face was as red as if he could drip blood.
At the same time, in the Prince's study.
Shi Ye propped his chin up and boredly looked at the letters presented by the officials.
"Do you have the things that this palace asked you to prepare?"
"Back to His Royal Highness, the servant has already prepared and ordered someone to deliver it to Lord Wen." Eunuch Zhu lowered his head and replied, "The servant has deliberately selected the most suitable gift, and also according to His Royal Highness. Your actual situation allows the craftsmen to polish the gift, and Young Master Wen will be very happy when he receives it."
Shi Ye said: "That's good."
Shi Ye pretended to be worried, so he didn't ask Eunuch Zhu what gift he had prepared.
In his heart, Zhu Xian has always done things properly.
Shi Ye hummed and waved, "Go and collect the reward."
The joy in Eunuch Zhu's expression was almost overflowing, he hurriedly answered yes, and then happily walked away.
