Chapter 141 Can't wait
Chapter 141 Can't wait
Shi Jin gritted his teeth slowly, and when he looked up at Shi Ye, his eyes were so red that he could bleed, he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth with great difficulty: "You are so cruel."
Shi Ye's face was expressionless, and his tone was cold: "I have already shown mercy to those who deal with you."
Shi Jin looked down at the scars all over Ping An's body, those scars criss-crossed and covered Ping An's black and blue skin, even though Shi Jin had seen many injured people since he was a child, he had never seen such a scary wound.
The strong smell of blood scrambled into his nose, and he tried his best not to vomit, and laughed angrily: "Is this what you call being merciful? You beat him to death, is this called being merciless?" "
The more Shi Jin talked, the more excited he became, the veins on his temples were exposed, and his whole body was like a wild beast.
In comparison, Shi Ye looked very calm. He looked down at the ferocious Shi Jin, and suddenly hooked the corners of his lips meaningfully: "If I hadn't been merciful, you might not even see his corpse." arrive."
"Don't be so grandiose, you didn't let me see Ping An out of kindness at all!" Shi Jin stood up violently, panting heavily, his chest heaving violently, "You just want to show off in front of me, Ping An It's just a tool for you to show off!"
Shi Ye was not surprised that Shi Jin would say such a thing, he smiled: "You are right."
Shi Jin was so angry that his breathing was a little unsteady. There was a smell of blood spreading from his mouth, but that smell of blood was not worth mentioning compared to the smell of blood permeating the air. He fixed his eyes on Shi Ye and paused every word : "You murderer, sooner or later you will be punished."
Shi Ye was not annoyed at all, but said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, but that should be after you and your mother died."
When Concubine Rong was mentioned, Shi Jin's face suddenly became extremely ugly. He froze for a moment, and then said, "You..."
Shi Ye interrupted him: "After you leave, the eldest princess and your accomplices will be sent to the guillotine for treason. As for your mother, Concubine Rong, she will not die for the time being, even though she poisoned the emperor." , but she was the emperor's favorite concubine after all, and she will accompany the emperor in the tomb as the only living person."
After finishing speaking, there was a hint of a smile in his eyes, and he tilted his head to look at the livid Shi Jin, "However, what will happen in the tomb is something that you and I cannot predict."
Shi Ye's speech was neither fast nor slow, and every sentence he spoke was articulate, and his tone of tone was like hitting Shi Jin's heart one by one with small hammers.
Shi Jin couldn't believe his ears, he thought that his mother could escape, even if she stayed with the green lantern for the rest of her life, she wouldn't lose her life, but he didn't expect Shi Ye to come up with such a vicious trick!
wrong!
What did Shi Ye say just now?
Shi Ye said that his mother poisoned his father?
How can this be...
The person who poisoned his father was clearly the ambitious Shi Ye!
Shi Ye seemed to see Shi Jin's thoughts, turned his head and said to the outside of the room, come in.
The next moment, a tall figure walked in.
Shi Jin clutched his aching temples, his thoughts were in a mess, and dense layers of cold sweat were already oozing from his forehead. He looked up slowly, and saw General Lin's familiar face.
Lin Zhe's expression was solemn, and he looked at Shi Jin with complicated eyes. He seemed to have a lot to say to Shi Jin, but he glanced at Shi Ye and stood aside silently.
Shi Jin and Lin Zhe have been friends for many years, so they can naturally understand the emotions in Lin Zhe's eyes.
He knew that Lin Zhe was an upright and honest man, and he always disdained to deal with corrupt officials, and he would not condone people with ulterior motives to covet the throne. He knew that Lin Zhe always only listened to the emperor's words, and he also knew that Lin Zhe was very disappointed in him in this incident. .
But why doesn't he feel the same way about Lin Zhe?
Originally, his mother planned everything. On the night of his father's death, he was able to pull out Shi Ye's wings and get rid of Shi Ye's right and left arm. Success or failure depended on that night, but who knows...
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway, and his long-time friend Lin Zhe turned his elbow towards Shi Ye.
When Lin Zhe led a group of soldiers to encircle and suppress the entire palace, Shi Jin was stunned on the spot, like a bolt from the blue.
He never dreamed that one day he would be defeated by his friends in the end.
How did Lin Zhe have the face to come to see him?
Lin Zhe shouldn't have appeared in his sight!
Shi Jin's eyes were full of hatred, and the smell of blood in his mouth became stronger and stronger.
He had been a walking dead for so many days, and it was the first time he had such strong emotions. His entire chest was filled with anger and hatred. Compared with Shi Ye, he hated Lin Zhe who betrayed him even more.
However, Lin Zhe remained unmoved under his gaze, with his lips tightly closed, obediently facing the wooden figure.
Shi Jin narrowed his eyes and said angrily, "So my friend is such an obedient dog. It's only because I was blind before that I didn't realize that you still have this side."
Lin Zhe's eyes moved slightly, but he remained silent.
It was Shi Ye who smiled lightly and said, "If you really want to say that, General Lin's vision of seeing people is no better than yours. If the emperor hadn't reminded him, maybe he would never be able to see through Concubine Rong's hypocritical face in his life. .”
The hatred in Shi Jin's eyes grew stronger, he stared at Shi Ye for a moment: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Shi Ye said: "It doesn't matter whether it's safe or Huazizang, these people are the back road left by Concubine Rong for you. The reason why you became angry just now because of your safe death was because I blocked your back road. .”
Shi Jin clenched his fists violently when his careful thoughts were punctured.
Shi Ye admired Shi Jin's expression on the verge of collapse, and suddenly jumped to a topic: "How did Concubine Rong tell you? She said that I was not the emperor's own son? She said that I poisoned and murdered the emperor for the throne." emperor?"
"You..." Shi Jin froze, "Why do you..."
Why does he know this?
"Since Concubine Rong can use money to bribe He Yu to deceive you together, then I can also beat He Yu with a stick." Shi Ye let out a chuckle, he did not hide the sarcasm on his face, and looked at Shi Jin with With a little sympathy, "King Xuan, King Xuan, should I say you are stupid or filial? I thought you had at least more brains than your mother, who thought you only wanted to be a marionette at the mercy of others?" .”
Before Shi Jin could react, Shi Ye continued, "The letter that He Yu showed is a fake, and what Concubine Rong told you is a fake. Concubine Rong is unwilling to wait for me to die alone in the temple , she racked her brains to help you up, and as long as she planned this, she poisoned the emperor's meals."
Shi Jin seemed to understand Shi Ye's words, but also seemed to not understand Shi Ye's words.
Every word Shi Ye said was overturning his previous cognition, he naturally didn't believe those words, but when he saw the silent Lin Zhe in a blink of an eye, all the nerves in his mind tensed up.
He knew that Lin Zhe never told lies, and he would not let Shi Ye tell these lies in front of him.
Shi Ye approached Shi Jin, and whispered in his ear: "Your beloved father was poisoned to death by your own mother, and without knowing it, you are willing to be a sharp knife in her hands."
"No!" Shi Jin stepped back repeatedly, shaking his head constantly, "No, my mother loves Father so much, she will never poison Father!"
"Really?" Shi Ye looked at him and sneered, "It seems that you still don't know your mother very well. She loves the emperor, but she loves herself, power and status more."
"No! You're lying!"
Amid the roar of Shi Jin's collapse, Shi Ye remained calm. He and Shi Jin looked at each other, his calm gaze seemed to penetrate into the depths of Shi Jin's heart, and he said, "You also believed what I said, didn't you?" ?"
"I don't believe it! All these are your lies... Oh, I see, you just want to find an excuse to deal with me and my mother in a fair and just manner, so you framed my mother so unscrupulously!" Shi Jin roared, " You still want my mother to die in the tomb!"
Shi Jin seemed to have lost his mind, his eyes were red, and he threw himself at Shi Ye recklessly.
Shi Ye kicked him away.
Shi Jin was kicked to the ground, and he couldn't get up from the ground for a long time, his chest was so painful that it almost burst.
Seeing this, Lin Zhe immediately walked over with a knife in hand, but he stood in front of Shi Ye directly.
When Shi Jin looked up and saw this scene, he felt pain in his eyes from being pierced, and a sense of sadness suddenly arose in his heart. He opened his mouth to laugh, halfway through the laugh, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.
Lin Zhe frowned, his figure shook slightly, but he still stood firmly in place.
Shi Ye, who was guarded by Lin Zhe, looked indifferently, and his tone was even colder: "Why is Lin Zhe on my side? Why do so many important court officials only listen to me? Why do I know what you and Concubine Rong are thinking? Have you ever thought about these questions? If the emperor didn't pave the way for me during his lifetime, would I be able to walk so smoothly?"
Shi Jin was stunned.
His mind went blank, and it took him a long time to recall what Shi Ye said not long ago—if it wasn't for the emperor's reminder, Lin Zhe would never be able to see through Concubine Rong's hypocritical face in his life.
Father, he...
What reminded Lin Zhe?
Shi Jin was trapped in a fog, his previous cognition gradually collapsed, he couldn't find his way, and like a lost child, he turned his last hopeful gaze to Lin Zhe: "What did the father say to you? "
"The emperor has an order..." Lin Zhe retracted the knife stiffly, and said with difficulty, "If the emperor dies unfortunately, I will definitely help His Highness the crown prince succeed in ascension to the throne, and all those who seek power and usurper will be arrested and poisoned." Concubine Rong, who was ordered by the emperor, the emperor reads that for the sake of husband and wife, she will not be executed, but will be buried with her instead."
"..."
Suddenly, with a bang, the last wall in Shi Jin's mind also collapsed.
His nails dug the ground tightly, leaving several shallow bloodstains. He didn't seem to feel pain, but he could clearly feel his eyes were sore and astringent, as if hot liquid was about to gush out.
It turned out that the poison in the father's body was poisoned by the mother.
It turned out that the father had long known about his mother poisoning him.
It turned out that no matter whether he was with his father or his mother, his ending had already been arranged, and he was just a pawn.
why?
Why didn't the father tell him this in person?
Why let him hear these cruel truths from Shi Ye and Lin Zhe?
He is also the emperor's child... No, he is the emperor's biological child!
Could his own child be inferior to Shi Ye's child of another man who came out of nowhere?
Shi Jin's vision was gradually blurred by the water mist. Even if he couldn't see his appearance at this moment, he knew that his tears were rushing down from his eyes.
Tears fell to the ground with a pattering sound.
His body trembled violently, he was cold all over, and for the first time he felt excluded from this world, as if his father was no longer his father, his mother was no longer his mother, and even he was not. Himself again.
Suddenly, a pair of feet appeared in his lowered vision.
Shi Jin was stunned, and subconsciously looked up along those feet, only to see Shi Ye walking from behind Lin Zhe at some point, looking down at him.
Compared with his panic and collapse, Shi Ye is like an outsider who has nothing to do with himself, calm and self-possessed, and has never been caught in this whirlpool from the beginning to the end.
Shi Jin closed his eyes, stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, raised his eyes and stared at Shi Ye for a while, raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Shi Ye, you won."
In fact, Shiye had never lost, but he didn't want to admit it.
"Do you know why I spared your life?" Shi Ye said indifferently.
Shi Jin was silent.
He doesn't know, the matter has come to this point, and there is no need for him to know.
Shi Ye didn't wait for him to speak, and then said: "This is also the emperor's intention. He asked me to take care of your younger brother for his sake. I think I have done it now."
After a pause, he said, "Enjoy the rest of your life, these are the days the emperor won for you."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head: "Lin Zhe."
Lin Zhe stepped forward and cupped his fists: "His Royal Highness."
Shi Ye said: "Tell him everything clearly, let him know how stupid he is hopelessly."
Lin Zhe bowed his head: "Yes."
Shi Ye said no more, turned around and walked out.
After walking a few steps, Shi Jin behind him suddenly roared loudly: "You are not the father's biological child at all! Anyone can inherit the position of father's emperor, but you can't, you are not qualified!"
Shi Ye paused, turned his head, and said calmly: "Unfortunately, this is all arranged by the emperor. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can go down and talk to him."
Then he left the house without looking back.
Eunuch Zhu and Zuo Zhi were waiting outside the prison, and when they saw Shi Ye coming out, they rushed over to meet him.
Zuo Zhi was full of worry.
Eunuch Zhu also hesitated to speak: "His Royal Highness."
Just now in the room, illuminated by the candlelight, I could only see that Shi Ye was thin and tired, his brows and eyes were full of tiredness, but now that Shi Ye was completely exposed to the sunlight, he could see that his face was abnormally pale, Even the lips are faintly blue.
These are all signs of poisoning.
However, Shi Ye didn't take it seriously, and raised his hand to let Zuo Zhi and Eunuch Zhu stop what they were going to say, and asked instead, "How did you find it?"
Eunuch Zhu choked, sighed, and replied: "I have already found that child of Rong Si. He has the same poison as you. Fortunately, the poison is mild. Although the disease cannot be cured by medicine, it can still be recovered if he takes good care of his body." Give back a life."
Shi Ye nodded, and walked out: "Where are the others?"
Eunuch Zhu and Zuo Zhi followed from left to right.
Zhu Gonggong said: "Back to His Royal Highness, the child of Rong Si was placed in the house on Xiangyang Street by the slaves, and several children who were found later were placed there. Their backgrounds and experiences are roughly the same, and they all have special abilities. and was raised by Hua Yin in captivity."
Shi Ye sneered: "No wonder the Hua family always said that there are more and more ordinary children, and the children who are daring and gifted are all raised by Hua Yin as fertilizer for corpses."
"Unexpectedly, the patriarch of the Hua family would do such an unconscionable thing." Eunuch Zhu shook his head sighingly, "It's a pity that the servant only found out the location of the darkroom and the way to open the door of the darkroom from those children, but didn't find out. Hua Yin's whereabouts."
"It doesn't matter." Shi Ye said coldly, "As long as Hua Yanran's body remains in the dark room, there is no fear that that lunatic will not show up."
Zhu Gonggong said: "His Royal Highness is right."
The topic ended here, and the three of them walked forward in silence.
At this moment, Shi Ye's foot suddenly softened, and he knelt down on the ground on one knee.
Eunuch Zhu and Zuo Zhi on the left and right were startled, and reached out to help Shi Ye, but Shi Ye frowned, his long eyelashes trembled, and looked very painful.
A thin layer of sweat oozed from Shi Ye's forehead, before he could be helped up by Eunuch Zhu and Zuo Zhi, he opened his mouth and vomited a mouthful of blood.
The blood wet Shi Ye's chin and neckline, it was dazzlingly red.
Eunuch Zhu and Zuo Zhi turned pale with shock.
"His Royal Highness!"
"Your Highness, are you alright?" Eunuch Zhu was so anxious that he almost screamed, he threw Fuchen aside, and said in a trembling voice, "Wait a moment, this servant will invite the imperial physician over."
After finishing speaking, Eunuch Zhu looked at Zuo Zhi, "Zuo Zhi, quickly help His Highness back."
Zuo Zhi turned pale and said, "Yes."
However, as soon as Eunuch Zhu turned around to run, Shi Ye grabbed his arm.
Shi Ye's strength was surprisingly strong, and his grasp hurt Eunuch Zhu, his facial features were wrinkled into a ball, and he immediately groaned: "What orders does His Royal Highness have?"
"There's no need to see an imperial physician." Shi Ye's eyes were gloomy, even though he vomited out such a big mouthful of blood just now, he seemed to be fine, only his brows were still wrinkled in pain, and he said in a deep voice, "Prepare the carriage, I'm going out of the palace. "
Eunuch Zhu asked cautiously: "Your Highness, do you want to see Mr. Wen?"
Speaking of Wen Chi's name, a soft color flashed in Shi Ye's eyes, but soon he was covered by a deeper gloom, and he said: "Bring those children, and let's go find the dark room together."
Hearing this, Eunuch Zhu was startled, and then his mouth was flattened, and he was so anxious that he was about to cry: "Your Highness, this matter is not in a hurry. Right now, your body is the most important thing. I will find an imperial doctor first to help Your Highness." Let's see."
Zuo Zhi also said: "His Royal Highness, Eunuch Zhu is right, there is no rush for this matter, we..."
"What do you know?" Shi Ye interrupted them in a deep voice.
For a moment, Eunuch Zhu and Zuo Zhi stopped speaking. They looked at each other, but neither of them dared to speak again.
Shi Ye's expression was extremely gloomy, he pushed away Eunuch Zhu in front of him, and strode forward, not knowing whether he was talking to Eunuch Zhu and Zuo Zhi or talking to himself: "I'm running out of time, I can't wait any longer .”
Eunuch Zhu swallowed his saliva and followed: "His Royal Highness!"
Zuo Zhi also followed in silence.
Wen Chi made an appointment with Young Master Zhang on the time and place to meet, and this afternoon, he came to the restaurant that Young Master Zhang had reserved in advance as agreed.
This restaurant is one of the three most famous restaurants in the capital, and it only caters to dignitaries with status. Now it has cleared the place for Wen Chi and Mr. Zhang, and the first and second floors are vacant.
It was the first time for Wen Chi to enjoy the treatment of a private restaurant, and he was somewhat unaccustomed to it, but Mr. Zhang took it for granted. He asked his servants to prepare the tools and materials for making pastry, and he looked very skilled.
Wen Chi couldn't get in his hands or talk, so he sat quietly by the side and waited.
After Mr. Zhang finished his work, he saw Wen Chi sitting on a chair by the window with a cup of tea in his hands, raising the teacup to take a sip from time to time, looking at humans and animals as harmless.
The sunlight came in from the window and fell on Wen Chi's body and hair, making his skin white and his jet-black hair dyed a light yellow, which made people want to rub it.
Mr. Zhang was stunned. At this moment, he seemed to understand the preferences of His Royal Highness.
No wonder the former emperor sent so many men and women to the East Palace, but Wen Chi was the only one who fell into His Highness' eyes. It turned out that His Highness liked such pure and harmless little boys.
It has to be said that His Royal Highness' preferences are indeed somewhat different.
Mr. Zhang looked down at his gaudy clothes, and suddenly felt his cheeks burning hot. He hid the hem of the clothes back by tidying up his clothes, and then walked over: "Mr. Wen, what are you doing sitting here? Get things ready, let's get started."
Wen Chi nodded, and hastily put down the teacup in his hand.
Although Mr. Zhang is not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he has a pair of dexterous hands. He is extremely good at making dishes and pastries. He always has his own ideas and has created many Wenchi as a modern man. Never heard of dim sum either.
Compared with Mr. Zhang, who is ingenious and handy, Wen Chi is much clumsier.
Fortunately, Mr. Zhang is not only meticulous but also very patient. He guides Wen Chi step by step in a gentle voice.
After working for an hour, Wen Chi made an improved version of jujube paste cake under the guidance of Mr. Zhang.
"The jujube paste cakes made by ordinary people are too sweet, so sweet that I am not used to eating them, so I figured out this kind of jujube paste cakes." Mr. Zhang sat across from Wenchi, and picked up a piece of jujube paste cakes from the plate with great satisfaction. , took a small bite, and showed a look of surprise, "I still like this jujube paste cake, which is small in size, sweet and sour, Mr. Wen's craftsmanship is really good, and it took me ten or so days to figure it out. The jujube paste crisps are made."
Mr. Zhang was not stingy with his praise, and he praised Wen Chi to the sky with one sentence.
Wen Chi was embarrassed by the praise, so he also tasted a piece of jujube paste crisp. It was delicious, but it was not as delicious as Mr. Zhang said.
Wen Chi knew in his heart that Mr. Zhang was holding him carefully to please Shi Ye, so he didn't take Mr. Zhang's flattering words to heart.
