Transmigrated to become the Tyrant's Male Concubine

Chapter 144 Disappearing

Wen Chi was startled, and looked at Ruofang's hand.

I saw Ruofang holding a painting scroll in one hand, and a small colorful stone in the other. She didn't have much interest in the painting scroll, and had been observing the stone carefully.

That stone was exactly the spirit stone that Shi Ye gave Wen Chi.

But Wen Chi clearly remembered that he hid that stone in the cabinet, when was it dug out?

This room has Ruofang and several maidservants taking turns guarding the door, and Xiao Shuanzi and servants patrol outside from time to time, no one will come in except Shi Ye.

Then Shi Ye was the only one who put the scroll and spirit stone beside him.

Wen Chi couldn't figure out why Shi Ye brought these two things over, but from the beginning to the end, he had a bad premonition in his heart, and he stretched out his hand to Ruofang: "Ruofang, show me the scroll."

Ruofang heard the words, and hurriedly handed out the scroll in her hand: "Here, my lord."

Wen Chi opened the scroll, and a familiar face came into view.

The person in the painting is the one who looks very similar to Wen Chi.

And this picture scroll is also very familiar to Wen Chi, if he guessed correctly, this picture scroll is the one he found in Shi Ye's study after Xiao Shuanzi's reminder.

The person in the painting is exactly the same as that picture scroll in terms of clothes, dress and demeanor.

But why did Shi Ye show him this scroll?

Or did Shi Ye already know about his rummaging in the study and did this to remind him?

This idea was rejected by Wen Chi as soon as it came out.

He shook his head with a very blank expression, he didn't think Shi Ye was a person who would do such small tricks.

At this time, Ruofang saw that Wen Chi hadn't moved for a long time, so she leaned over and took a look at the painting. She didn't know the twists and turns, and said pleasantly, "His Royal Highness really has a heart, and he painted the young master's appearance so vividly. .”

Wen Chi closed the scroll in a daze, remained silent for a moment, and then said: "The person in this painting is not me."

"Ah?" Ruofang asked in surprise, "My lord, what are you talking about? The person in this painting is you. With this appearance and figure, is it you or someone else?"

Wen Chi also wanted to know who it was.

Who looks exactly like him?

Who had a past with Shi Ye before he knew Shi Ye?

At this moment, it would be a lie to say that Wen Chi felt nothing in his heart, he obviously felt the familiar sour feeling quietly emerging from his heart, and he was once again overwhelmed by those sour bubbles.

Wen Chi didn't dare to think about it, he was afraid that the more he thought about it, the more he would come up with some messy thoughts, since Shi Ye took out this picture scroll, it meant that Shi Ye didn't intend to hide it anymore.

He should ask Shi Ye for clarification.

Once this idea is born, it can no longer be suppressed.

Wen Chi put the scroll and spirit stone away, and asked Ruofang to call Xiao Shuanzi in.

Ruofang saw that there was something wrong with Wen Chi's expression, but she didn't dare to ask more questions even though she was worried. She responded, and hurriedly ran out to call Xiao Shuanzi who was working in the backyard.

After yesterday's incident, Eunuch Zhu gave Xiao Shuanzi a hard lesson, and he didn't dare to do it again, and he didn't even dare to talk too much in front of Wen Chi. He lowered his head when he came in and asked Wen Chi what his order was.

Wen Chi didn't want to go around the bush either, and said directly, "Tell Eunuch Zhu for me that I want to see the prince."

Wen Chi only hated that there were no mobile phones in ancient times. When looking for someone, he not only had to contact each other like a string of gourds, but also had to wait for a long time. Sometimes even Xiao Shuanzi couldn't find Eunuch Zhu, so he could only wait at home. Shi Ye came over.

Ah!

Mobile phones are such a great invention.

If he had a mobile phone, all he needed to do was send Shi Ye a WeChat message, so why bother.

After Wen Chi had finished feeling inwardly, he saw Xiao Shuanzi's embarrassed face in a blink of an eye.

"This..." Xiao Shuanzi bowed his waist, not daring to meet Shang Wenchi's gaze. He said cautiously, "Returning to your son, Eunuch Zhu has specially ordered that His Royal Highness will be busy with the succession ceremony in the near future. It may be a long time to be busy, if you want to find His Highness the Crown Prince, you'd better wait until His Highness the Crown Prince finishes his work."

Wen Chi heard many people mention the upcoming succession ceremony, and he had already put this matter behind him, but now he heard Xiao Shuanzi talk about it again, and he couldn't help wondering if Shi Ye said yesterday that he was going out for the sake of doing it. this matter?

As usual, after hearing what Xiao Shuanzi had said, Wen Chi would have done it wisely, anyway, he was not in a hurry to know the answer right away.

But now, he actually didn't want to wait any longer. He had waited for so long, and when he couldn't wait, Ye would take the initiative to confess, so it was better for him to take the initiative himself.

"Then you take me into the palace." Wen Chi said, "The prince is not free to come out to see me, so I'll go in and find his head office, shall I?"

Xiao Shuanzi plopped on his knees, with cold sweat running down his face: "No way, young master, this is absolutely impossible!"

Wen Chi choked for a moment: "Why not?"

"Because, because Eunuch Zhu specifically ordered..." Xiao Shuanzi stopped talking as if realizing something in the middle of his sentence. He took a breath before continuing, "Because the young master is pregnant with the eldest son of His Royal Highness, the slave should not If you dare to let the young master go out so easily, if the young master has some mishaps, even if you have a hundred lives, this slave will not be able to bear the responsibility!"

Now, no matter how dull Wen Chi was, he also felt the meaning of obstruction in Xiao Shuanzi's words.

He didn't know what Eunuch Zhu ordered Xiao Shuanzi, or why Xiao Shuanzi was so afraid of him going out, but remembering what Little Shuanzi had said yesterday to encourage him to get in touch with His Highness the Crown Prince, he was speechless: "Yesterday you were not With that said, how close are you to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..." It would be better to have more children.

Wen Chi didn't have the nerve to say the last sentence.

Unexpectedly, when Xiao Shuanzi heard this, he shook his head in fear and trepidation: "Master, it's all the slave's fault, it's the slave's nonsense, the slave has already received the punishment yesterday, and the slave will correct his mistake if he knows it. Talking nonsense in front of you."

Originally, Wen Chi still had a lot to say, but when Xiao Shuanzi said this, he immediately blocked all his words in his throat.

Wen Chi fell silent, but Ruo Fang next to him was not happy, curled her lips, and muttered in a voice that could be heard by several people: "Yesterday, my son was soft-hearted, and asked me to give you so many good things for your body. When you were collecting things, why didn't you rush to get rid of the relationship with the young master like you did just now?"

"..."

Xiao Shuanzi knew he was wrong, his face turned red and then pale, and he also knew that no amount of explanation would help, so he might as well lie down and admit the ridicule, maybe he lay on the ground tremblingly and didn't speak.

Wen Chi didn't want to embarrass Xiao Shuanzi too much, so he let Xiao Shuanzi go down.

After lunch, Wen Chi sat in the bedroom, staring at the scrolls and spirit stones on the table in a daze.

Suddenly, Ruofang walked in.

Ruofang said in a low voice: "My lord, Mr. Zhang from Prince Qi's residence has sent someone again, saying that Mr. Zhang wants to invite you to sit at Jushan Restaurant."

Jushan Restaurant is the place where Wen Chi and Mr. Zhang met to make cakes last time. It seems that that place has become Mr. Zhang's private place to call friends.

Wen Chi didn't want to go out so frequently, but then he thought that he would only be thinking about these two things when he was at home, and he couldn't think of a reason anyway, so he might as well go out for a walk to pass the time.

With that in mind, he accepted Mr. Zhang's invitation.

In the afternoon, Wen Chi took a carriage to Jushan Restaurant.

Mr. Zhang was still as enthusiastic as yesterday, even though he was inconvenient, he ran downstairs to greet Wen Chi himself.

Wen Chi followed Mr. Zhang up to the second floor with ease, only to find that there were about six or seven well-dressed young men and women sitting in the box on the second floor.

These young men and women all have one thing in common, that is, they are all pregnant. They must be the ones Mr. Zhang mentioned yesterday.

Apparently those people knew Wen Chi's identity a long time ago, and before Wen Chi approached, they got up and greeted him enthusiastically, introducing themselves to Wen Chi in a hurry.

Wen Chi dazedly dealt with one person after another.

It wasn't until Mr. Zhang stood in front of him, pretending to be angry and driving those people away, that he had a chance to breathe.

Wen Chi spent the whole afternoon in Jushan Restaurant with Mr. Zhang and these young men and women.

After chatting later, Wen Chi realized that these young men and women not only came from famous families, but also had a certain status in their husband's family, unlike his family, not to mention the low status, and he didn't have a good status around Shi Ye, at best they were just a concubine.

But even if he is a concubine, he is also the only concubine around Shi Ye, and he is the concubine who is pregnant with the eldest son, which is extraordinary.

So everyone's topic almost focused on Wen Chi alone. From how he married into the East Palace instead of his elder brother, to how he made up for his mistakes in disaster relief, everyone was like a curious baby, with countless questions.

Before we parted, we hardly talked about other topics, and we were all talking about Wen Chi.

For the first time, Wen Chi felt that he was a sweet potato, being watched by a group of vicious wolves... It was not his fault that he had such thoughts, it was because some of these people's problems crossed the line, which blocked him for a long time.

Wen Chi was afraid that misfortune would come out of his mouth, so he didn't dare to stay for long, so when the little Shuanzi who picked him up came, he immediately followed the little Shuanzi and left as if he had seen a savior, regardless of everyone's persuasion.

Mr. Zhang sent Wen Chi downstairs alone.

"I'm sorry, I wanted them to help ease your uneasiness, but I didn't expect them to be so big or small." Mr. Zhang apologized to Wen Chi.

Wen Chi said embarrassingly: "I'm the one who disturbed your situation. I've been at home for a long time, and I'm not used to so many people."

Mr. Zhang smiled: "Today is an exception, please rest assured Mr. Wen, I will not call them out in the future."

Wen Chi nodded: "Okay."

Not long after returning, Wen Chi received apology gifts from the servants sent by those people. Each gift was prepared extremely delicately, and it could be seen that the person who gave the gift had put a lot of thought into it.

Moreover, the presents were delivered at the same time, but Mr. Zhang was the only one who didn't share—those people should have made an appointment behind Mr. Zhang's back to throw an olive branch to him together.

Wen Chi looked at the gift and sighed.

He suddenly remembered the joke he had seen on the Internet before. There are six people in a dormitory, but there are eight small groups in private.

I'm afraid Mr. Zhang who kindly introduced them to meet did not expect that those people would go over Mr. Zhang to win him over.

Ruofang observed Wen Chi's reaction, and seemed to understand something: "My lord, these gifts..."

"Send it back intact." Wen Chi said, "Let them know what I mean."

Ruofang didn't ask anything, just nodded: "Yes."

On this day, Wen Chi waited until late at night and did not wait for Shi Ye to come. He fell asleep in a daze while waiting.

When he woke up the next day, he stared blankly at the half-empty bed in a daze, and he didn't know how long it took before he was brought back to his senses by the sound of Ruofang's footsteps.

"Master." Ruofang said, "Master Zhang sent someone here."

Wen Chi was supported by Ruofang to sit up, he rubbed his aching temples, shook his head lightly and said, "Push."

Ruofang said, "Yes."

Wen Chi thought for a while, and then said, "Don't let his people in in the future."

Hearing this, Ruofang was stunned for a moment: "Master, don't you want to associate with Mr. Zhang?"

Wen Chi hummed.

Although those people didn't ask him anything important yesterday, the approaching faces of those people gave him a sense of fear.

He really wanted to make some friends, but he didn't want to join this so-called circle, a group of people with plastic relationships gathered together to chat and drink tea with their own thoughts.

If that's the case, he might as well stay at home and wait for Shi Ye to come over.

After figuring it out, Wen Chi was relieved.

It's a pity that Mr. Zhang didn't want to give up, so he sent someone over the next day and the third day, and every time he asked that person to bring the snacks he made early in the morning.

However, Wen Chi was unmoved.

After about ten days like this, Mr. Zhang finally gave up.

In the past ten days, Wenchi lived a life almost isolated from the outside world, but at the same time, many things happened outside.

Shi Jin was exiled to the frontier.

Concubine Rong and the eldest princess were overwhelmed by the burden in the prison, and they hanged themselves one after another. When they were found, their bodies had already become stiff.

The succession ceremony came as scheduled, but Shi Ye did not appear at the ceremony. The ceremony was presided over by the third and sixth princes with the assistance of General Lin.

The new emperor ascended the throne, but there was no trace of the new emperor. This was the first time such a thing had happened since the founding of the Great Feng Kingdom.

Although all the ministers dared to be angry and dare not speak out, it was inevitable that some unpleasant words would spread in private.

After taking office, how can the new emperor hand over the important affairs of the court to the prime minister and the two princes?

It's ridiculous.

Wen Chi inquired about these news one after another. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that Shi Ye was gone.

There was no news from Shi Ye.

This cognition was like a rope tightly strangling Wen Chi's nerves, and he began to feel anxious again, unable to sleep at night, unable to eat during the day, looking forward to Shi Ye's return all day long like a watchman.

Not only that, but he was still having nightmares.

He dreamed that Shi Ye was dead countless times, and died in front of him many times.

In the dream, Shi Ye reached out to him, and he tried to hold Shi Ye's hand, but found that his hands had no strength at all, and it was difficult to even lift them up.

The next moment, Shi Ye vomited blood, fell to the ground and died.

"No!" Wen Chi opened his eyes suddenly, "Shi Ye!"

"Young Master?" Ruo Fang's anxious voice sounded beside her ear, accompanied by a hand gently patted on his shoulder, "Young Master, are you awake?"
