Description
When he woke up, Wen Chi transmigrated into a book.
In the book, the protagonist accidentally obtained a system, and with the help of the system, he pretended to be sick and escaped his engagement with the disabled Crown Prince. Then, at the peach blossom banquet, he demonstrated his extraordinary talent and attracted the attention of the fourth prince…
Finally, everything went well between the protagonist shou and the fourth prince and they fell in love very deeply. The fourth prince overthrew the rule of the previous emperors and became a model royal husband.
However…….
Wen Chi transmigrated and became the cannon fodder brother of the protagonist shou, and he was the one who was forced to replace the protagonist to marry the disabled Crown Prince.
It was rumored that the disabled Crown Prince was burned by fire five years ago. Not only was his face disfigured, but his legs also ended up being disabled. He lived deep in the Eastern Palace and stayed behind closed doors all year round. He had a very strange temper.
Only Wen Chi knew that the disabled Crown Prince would still become the emperor and became a famous tyrant in history. Unfortunately, he was later killed by the fourth prince for being too cruel. Even the cannon fodder, he was not spared, and he ended up tragically.
On the wedding night, the disabled Crown Prince grabbed Wen Chi's chin. He sneered: "Here comes another one who wants to step on me to climb up."
Wen Chi in silent tears: "No, no, no. I'm only sitting around waiting to die."
The disabled Crown Prince: "???"

Chapter 1
Wen Chi opened his eyes and was greeted by layers of white curtains and bed frames made of sandalwood loomed behind the curtains.
He turned his head and in front of him was the antique bedroom.
Wen Chi was stunned for a moment until all the little sleep left in his mind dissipated. He couldn't react — he fell asleep and he was still in this ghost place.
It was unfortunate to say that Wen Chi was originally a Beipiao1Beipiao or northern drifter refers to a group of people who come from other places to Beijing, the capital of the People's Republic of China, to make a living, but do not have a Beijing hukou. Because such people rarely have a fixed residence in the early days of their arrival in Beijing, and they move around, giving people the feeling of being erratic, hence the name living in the twenty first century. After graduation, he stepped into the screenwriting industry. Unfortunately, his graduation time was short and had little experience so he had to work hard for others.
A while ago, his master took over the job of adapting a novel to a drama. The master was busy with work, so he asked him to read the original work of the drama and try to adapt it.
Wen Chi, who finally waited for this opportunity, naturally had to show full enthusiasm. So he spent two days and two nights reading the original work three times.
When he watched it for the third time, it was six o'clock in the morning and the sky outside the window was still light blue but it was twilight in the horizon.
Wen Chi's mouth was dry, he stood up and stretched, then picked up the cup and prepared to go to the kitchen to get some water.
As a result, as soon as he took the second step, he felt dizzy.
It all happened so fast that he didn't have time to react.
A second before the darkness completely fell, he heard the muffled sound of his head hitting the wall after he fell, accompanied by intense pain and he lost consciousness.
When he opened his eyes again, he had transmigrated into a book.
Into the danmei2BL novel that he read three times for two days and two nights
Wen Chi closed his eyes and collapsed like a salted fish for another half an hour, when he heard a creaking sound of the door being pushed open.
"Second Young Master, are you up yet?" The maid in the house came in with a water basin and lightly placed the water basin on the wooden frame in front of the bed, "Second Young Master, it's time to get up for breakfast."
Wen Chi didn't move and asked: "Has my father left?"
Chen momo3Wet nurse replied: "Master has gone to court."
Wen Chi gave an expressionless oh, turned over and covered his face, sighing in despair: "What should come will still come."
"Second Young Master, what are you talking about? The old slave doesn't understand." Chen momo was confused, "Is there someone who wants to come to the house as a guest?"
Wen Chi rolled over and got up, turning his head to look at Chen momo : "It's nothing, you go and do your work."
Chen momo felt weird, thinking that the second young master for the past two days was really weird, but thinking is one thing, she did not dare to say it out and quietly retreated.
Wen Chi dawdled and got out of bed. Ancient people's clothes were complicated, with three layers inside and three layers outside. Wen Chi took a lot of effort to put them on and finally tied the belt crookedly.
After he finished washing, he walked out of the bedroom and saw the breakfast that Chen momo brought on the table – pancakes cut into small pieces and white porridge, as simple as yesterday morning.
After breakfast, Wen Chi had nothing to do, so he went back to bed with his clothes and rested.
Before long, he gradually fell asleep.
Don't know how long he slept, but later Wen Chi was awakened by Chen momo.
He opened his sleepy eyes and saw Chen momo standing at the head of his bed, clasping her hands, looking a little worried.
"Second Young Master."
"Huh?"
"Master has returned from the court."
Wen Chi froze, the sleepiness in his eyes vanished without a trace in an instant and he sat up from the bed in a flash: "Father is looking for me?"
" Yes." Chen momo said, "Master wants you to go to the study."
Wen Chi lived in Beiyuan, the most remote location in the mansion, which was also the courtyard where the original owner's mother lived before she died.
The original owner's mother was the only daughter of a small county magistrate before her death. She married the Minister of Rites, Wen Changqing as a concubine. Later, the small county magistrate was executed for the crime of embezzlement. The original owner's mother was also implicated and no longer favored by Wen Changqing. Even when she suicided by hanging, she did not get a look from Wen Changqing.
The poor original owner grew up in an environment without a father or mother. He was born out of a concubine and was not favored and trampled by the servants.
In the end it is not only his poor life experience, he is still a cannon fodder in the novel and he was born as a stepping stone for the protagonist…
Wen Chi thought of the ending of the original protagonist in the novel and suddenly had a headache.
According to the original owner's memory, he walked through the winding path and took a stick of incense4half an hour before he came to the outside of Wen Changqing's study.
He knocked on the door: "Father, were you looking for me?"
After he finished speaking, a steady voice came from inside: "Come in."
Wen Chi pushed open the door, and the first person to see was Wen Changqing sitting behind the huge wooden table. This Minister of Rites is the same as the description in the novel – in his thirties, with a national face, upright facial features, and a 八 character mustache on his mouth, he looked like a serious person.
Wen Chi just glanced at him, then lowered his head quickly, walked to the wooden table and stood upright.
He stared at his toes in a daze.
"I heard that you were ill."
Wen Changqing put down the book in his hand, frowned and looked at the second son whom he had not seen for a long time. With a little more concern in his cold words he asked, "Are you better?"
It was the original owner, not Wen Chi.
But that was a few days ago and the original owner had long since passed away.
Wen Chi said obediently: "I'm better, thank you for your concern."
Wen Changqing nodded, as if recalling something, his serious expression gradually softened and he sighed, "I can't believe that your mother has been gone for some years. Now, you are like your mother, whenever I look at your face, I can't help but think of your mother."
Wen Chi: "…"
The familiar opening line.
Here it comes, let's start the plot.
He listened quietly.
Sure enough, at the next moment, Wen Changqing suddenly changed the subject: "It's a pity that your mother left early and couldn't witness your marriage."
Marriage…
Wen Chi almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
He continued to be silent.
Although he did not pick up the cue, it did not affect Wen Changqing to play their part: : "When you're old enough to start a family. Father has found a marriage for you, go back and prepare for it."
Wen Chi finally couldn't hold back any longer and said: "Father, I do not want to get married yet."
He remembered that the original owner said the same thing in the novel but Wen Changqing refused.
Wen Changqing's eyes froze and the warmth that was hanging on his face just now disappeared in an instant: "Say it again."
Wen Chi was very obedient and repeated it word for word: "Father, I don't want to get married."
Wen Changqing slapped the table before he finished speaking.
There was a snap.
Wen Chi trembled with fear.
Before Wen Chi could say anything, Wen Changqing became angry: "You bastard, your wings are hardened that you dare to resist your father's words? Marriage is a major event; it is a matter of matchmaking and parents' orders, not yours!"
Wen Changqing spat and scolded him. Wen Chi quickly calmed down. He remembered that a very critical plot was about to usher in the novel – now the entire court is worried about the locust plague in Jinzhou.
Maybe he can make a deal.
"Father, I…"
Before Wen Chi could say anything, Wen Changqing interrupted him in a huff and raised his finger to the door: "Roll out5Get out!"
Then Wen Chi obediently "rolled out".
Although he did not want to "roll", his legs were completely out of his control, as if he had been programmed in advance, he walked out of the study at a fast pace.
It was only when he was panting and walking back to the Beiyuan Court that the mysterious force that bound him to his legs suddenly disappeared.
Wen Chi's face turned pale, he bent down and supported his knees with his hands, panting like a cow.
Seeing this, Chen momo in the room hurriedly greeted him: "Second Young Master, are you alright?"
"Something…" Wen Chi's eyes were dull, "Something big has happened…"
Chen momo was frightened: "What happened?"
Wen Chi shook his head and after he recovered, he entered the room with a face full of despair.
Wen Chi kept walking back to the bedroom, took off his shoes and began to lie down on the bed like a salted fish again.
He thought about it over and over for a long time and finally thought that this matter might have something to do with the system the protagonist received.
The protagonist in the novel is named Wen Liang, who is Wen Chi's half-brother, but Wen Liang's mother, Xu, is Wen Changqing's legitimate wife. So Wen Liang is also the first-born son of the Wen family and the entire family knows how Wen Changqing pampers Wen Liang.
Originally Wen Liang was the one who had a marriage contract with the Crown Prince.
But five years ago, a fire broke out in the East Palace, which not only burned a lot of people to death but also burned the Crown prince to such a degree that his legs were disabled.
Since then, the Xu family has tried every means to cancel the engagement.
The turning point of the story started two days ago. Wen Liang and his friends went out for an outing. They accidentally broke into an abandoned hut in the woods and picked up a colorful and strange stone.
That night, Wen Liang unintentionally triggered the system when he was checking the stone and he immediately expressed his wish to not marry the crown prince.
So the next day, news came out from the East Palace that the disabled Crown prince had tortured and killed many people in the past five years.
Originally, these news were suppressed extremely well but it was not known who had a heart to spread it out and it also passed into Wen Changqing's ears.
Wen Changqing was so worried that he didn't sleep all night. He was reluctant to give up his son and refused to give up the way to make a connection with the Crown prince. Coupled with the flood of tears from Madam Xu, he decided to replace the eldest son with the second son.
Wen Chi retraced the plot line of the novel and became more and more certain that all this was done by that stupid system.
Maybe that power just now was the mysterious power from the system.
How could he possibly fight against the system?
The more Wen Chi thought about it, the more desperate he became. He was so angry that he ate an extra bowl of rice for lunch.
The matter was a foregone conclusion, even Chen momo received orders to bring four or five maids to Beiyuan that afternoon to prepare a dowry for Wen Chi.
Perhaps because of Wen Chi's contribution to the family, Wen Liang's mother, Madam Xu has been unexpectedly good to Wen Chi these days. Not only does she not make things difficult for him but also sends the food that the original owner couldn't eat at all like running water.
Wen Chi finished eating it all, it tasted good and it made him gain weight.
In a blink of an eye came the day before the marriage.
Chen momo and a few maids have packed their things – in fact, there are only two large and small wooden boxes.
Chen momo walked into the bedroom and saw that Wen Chi had just finished eating the rose cake sent by Madam Xu and was lying down to rest. She couldn't help sighing, "Second Young Master, you will be married tomorrow."
"…"
Wen Chi was originally relaxed but when he heard the words he became nervous.
He glanced from the corner of his eye as Chen momo walked up to the bed, step by step and she seemed to be holding something like a painting book in her hand.

Chapter 2
Chen momo noticed Wen Chi's gaze and coughed with her fist against her lips, then put the gorgeous painting book on Wen Chi's bedding.
Wen Chi was confused.
Chen momo was quite embarrassed: "Second Young Master, you didn't have a marriage contract like the Young Master in the past. So it's fine not to talk about those private matters, but now that you're getting married, there are some things that have to be said."
Wen Chi nervously held the quilt and he glanced down at the picture book in front of him. The cover was white, with no patterns or text, so he didn't know what was inside.
"You take a look first. If there is something you don't understand, this old slave will explain it to you." Chen momo said.
Wen Chi raised his eyes and met Chen momo's somewhat dodging eyes. He touched his nose strangely, reached out his hand to pick up the drawing book, flipped to one of the pages at random and took a closer look –
the next second, his cheeks turned red.
As, if he is not wrong, the painting book that Chen momo gave him is the legendary …… erotic picture book?
Even though Wen Chi had seen many films before, at this moment he was stunned by the scale of the painting.
That posture…
Wen Chi suspects that the waist of the man below will break his waist. Are they playing acrobatics?
And——
The two people in the painting seem to be men, right?
Wen Chi's surprised gaze lingered on the erected thing for a long time, then, his surprise was slowly replaced by shock as he looked bitterly at Chen momo at and said: "Chen momo, do you think …… I'm the one above or the one below?"
Chen momo's face became distorted and she said, "Second Young Master, you are joking."
Wen Chi's expression was serious: "I am serious."
What if that tyrant had a special hobby in this area?
What if that tyrant really likes being pressed down, it's not that he can't give it a try.
When Chen momo heard these words, she waved her hands in fear: "Second young master, rice can be eaten indiscriminately words can not be said indiscriminately. Especially these treacherous words, you should be careful in your words and deeds. If you don't pay attention, you'll lose your head!"
"So serious?" Wen Chi was so shocked that he sat up and slowly leaned back to the bed again, he asked smoothly, "So it seems that you know who I am going to marry?"
"… " Chen momo's expression was stagnant and she was silent for a long time before she said, "Old..This old slave is not so sure."
Seeing this, Wen Chi didn't ask any more questions.
It's just that he feels sorry for the original owner.
In such a big mansion, everyone knew that he was about to replace Wen Liang and marry into the Eastern Palace1Eastern Palace is where the Crown Prince lives but he was the only one who was kept in the dark.
Chen momo brought five picture books, which illustrated the details of male and male sex but also painted dozens of strange positions, all challenging the limits of the human body.
Wen Chi was embarrassed and didn't want to read it but Chen momo forced him to read it and also threatened to personally guard him until he finished reading it.
Wen Chi was forced to have no choice but to open the picture book from the beginning. He used his thoughts to cover up the erect thing of the man pressed underneath, after which it became more and more interesting and he read all five picture books in less than an hour.
"Are there any more?" He held out his hand to Chen momo.
"Since the second young master is so thirsty for knowledge, this slaves will rush to find some tomorrow and pack them for you." Chen momo was very satisfied with his performance and then changed the topic, "Second Young Master, the best age for men to have children is before the age of twenty, so I hope that Second Young Master will put more effort in the next three years, so that you can have a son or daughter sooner."
Wen Chi was stunned and slowly retracted his hand and put it into the quilt: "To give birth? To give birth to what?"
Chen momo said naturally: "Of course, it is to give birth to a child."
This sentence was like a thunderbolt falling from the sky and hitting Wen Chi's forehead and he finally dug it out of the original owner's memories — the men here can give birth to children.
They can have fucking babies!
So fucking gifted that he admired them to the core and he wondered if they could have a period …… he remembered there was no such setting in the novel.
Wen Chi couldn't imagine his ass bleeding, so he raised his hands on his forehead in despair: "How do men have children? Is there a method to make the asshole big?"
Chen momo said: "When you are about to give birth, you will naturally understand."
Wen Chi: "…"
Thank you for your blessing.
After Chen momo left, Wen Chi, who had been lying on the bed for a day was finally willing to get out of bed – but he just took the bronze mirror and got back into the warm bed.
He came to this world for some time but it was the first time he looked at the original owner's face.
Then he found that the original owner and he looked eight points similar but the original owner's appearance and temperament are more towards the feeling of Lin Daiyu2Lin Daiyu is a character in the Qing Dynasty novel A Dream of Red Mansions. Frail and sickly since childhood, after the death of his mother, he lived in Rongguo Mansion. Smart, alert and sentimental, he and Jia Baoyu are in love with each other, but they can't get together because of the opposition and obstacles of the family. In the end, on the night when Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai got married, he burned the poems due to depression, vomited blood and died. Later, it was also used to describe a thin and sickly woman., apricot eyes and thin lips, fair skin, even if the face is expressionless it looks a bit sad.
The most striking thing was the bright red mole between the eyebrows, a small one. It was like a dazzling sunlight in the slightly dim candlelight, which made him close his eyes.
It's this mole.
Let him have a gifted physique.
In the novel, any man born with a red mole between his eyebrows can marry and have children. The stronger the color of the red mole, the stronger the fertility of the man.
As the protagonist shou of the novel, the red mole on Wen Liang's eyebrows is naturally so intense that it blinds other people's eyes.
However, as a young man who has received nine years of compulsory education in the twenty-first century, Wen Chi still can't make him accept the setting that men can have children all at once.
He couldn't sleep at the thought that he might be pressed in the future, and he might have a big stomach like a pregnant woman and his belly would be cut open to take out the child.
He needed something to do to distract himself.
He picked up the five picture books that Chen momo left for him and planned to read it again. When he read the second one, he fell asleep.
The next day…
It was also the big day of Wen Chi's wedding.
Everyone in the house was busy, except for Wen Chi who was sitting by the bed waiting in his big red robe.
After a night passed, Wen Chi's anxiety from last night had almost dissipated. He had nothing to do and counted the time.
When a ray of light came in from the window, he ushered in the protagonist shou of the novel -Wen -Mary Sue – ox size mole between the eyebrows- Liang on time.
From a distance, Wen Chi was shocked by the large red mole on Wen Liang's eyebrows.
Fortunately, Wen Liang has red lips and white teeth, big eyes, beautiful and full lips. Even with such a big red mole, he doesn't look ugly. Maybe with modern aesthetics, he looks like an immortal.
It's a pity that at this time, the immortal man was crying with a pair of red eyes.
Wen Liang walked very fast and in a short while pounced on Wen Chi's bed. He shouted with a crying voice: "Brother Chi."
Wen Chi subconsciously raised his voice and said, "Brother Liang."
Wen Liang: "…"
Don't think he didn't see that the corners of Wen Liang's mouth were twitching.
But after a while, Wen Liang quickly returned to his pitiful appearance with tears in his eyes. He sat next to Wen Chi and took Wen Chi's hand, his voice trembling with guilt: "Brother, it is this brother who wronged you."
At this moment, there were only two words echoing in Wen Chi's mind – here we come, here we come, here comes the waterworks.
Wen Chi had read the novel and he knew that Wen Liang was really guilty and sad at the moment and he really wanted to apologize to the original owner.
But, that's all.
After all, Wen Liang crying will not help in reality, so his behavior towards Wen Chi the victim – is really a little annoying, he just wants to lie quietly alone.
Wen Chi had already mentally prepared himself but Wen Liang was still crying: "I never imagined that father would make such a decision. If I had known that father would push you out, I would not have agreed with father's proposal."
Wen Chi's face was expressionless: "Oh."
"Brother, are you angry with me?" Wen Liang was sensitive and quickly noticed Wen Chi's indifference, "I had always wanted to visit you."
Wen Chi asked, "Then why didn't you come?"
Wen Liang lowered his teary eyes and sadly explained: "Mother said that you have already made a marriage agreement, it is inappropriate for me to come to see you, and this brother is powerless…"
Wen Chi was really curious: "Then why are you here now?"
Wen Liang : "…"
After a long silence, Wen Liang changed the subject very wisely, as if to make Wen Chi happy. He talked about being invited to the Peach Blossom Banquet the day before yesterday.
The Peach Blossom Banquet, as the name suggests, is to gather people to enjoy the peach blossoms together.
The birthday of the eldest princess is when the peach blossoms are in full bloom. So she likes to hold the birthday banquet outdoors, in the pink and white peach blossom forest, to entertain guests and enjoy the flowers.
Over time, everyone also called the birthday banquet of the eldest princess "The peach blossom banquet".
The eldest princess, as the younger sister of the current emperor, the invitations for the peach blossom banquet in her hands are naturally the same thing that everyone is rushing for – it symbolizes identity and status.
For example, at this moment, Wen Liang is a person with status.
Wen Chi, who had no status, instantly turned into a sauerkraut fish and ordered him to leave expressionlessly "I'm sleepy. I want to lie down for a while. You make yourself at home."
After that, Wen Chi really laid down on the bed.
Wen Liang stood by the bed for a while and apologized a few more times. Seeing that Wen Chi was unmoved, he finally left in despair.
Wen Chi was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, but he couldn't fall asleep – he was thinking about Wen Liang's system.
The words Wen Liang said to him just now were all written in the novel, even if he did not answer according to the routine, it didn't affect Wen Liang in any way to bring up the Peach Blossom Feast later.
Since everyone has a fixed script, why did the system restrict him that day?
Is it possible that his words and actions as an outsider …… can really change the path of this world?
Wen Chi slowly came up with a bold idea but he needed to wait for the opportunity to practice it.
Having been waiting from early morning until the afternoon, Wen Chi finally waited for the bridal party.
With a red veil on his head, he couldn't see the road clearly. A Xipo3Xi Niang or Xipo is a woman who accompanies, takes care of the bride and assists the wedding ceremony in Chinese weddings came to hold his fingers and lead him slowly forward.
He didn;t know where they took him but the surrounding environment suddenly became lively.
Xipo in the front suddenly stopped and she smiled and said nice things to Wen Changqing. She had probably received a lot of silver taels from Wen Changqing and the Xipo giggled with a hearty smile.
Before getting into the sedan chair, Wen Changqing told Xipo that he had something to say to Wen Chi.
Xipo stepped back and gave way.
Wen Chi stood motionless and lowered his eyes. From under the veil he saw a pair of black square-toed shoes approaching him.
Then, Wen Changqing's deliberately lowered voice sounded in his ears: "From now on, your face is the face of our Wen family, be honest and don't cause trouble."
Wen Chi remembered the thing that he had not had time to tell Wen Changqing and suddenly felt a little fortunate.
He originally had the last glimmer of hope for Wen Changqing, thinking that tigers do not eat their cubs and that Wen Changqing, as a father, would not be so cruel that he would not hesitate to push his own son into the tiger's den.
In the end, Wen Changqing, this father is a scumbag.
Wen Chi was a little angry but he couldn't scold Wen Changqing. He thought about it and said, "Pei4To express contempt or reprimand!"
Wen Changqing: "???"
Wen Chi hurriedly got into the sedan chair.

Chapter 3
The sedan chair bounced back and forth and Wen Chi, who was inside the sedan chair was drowsy.
When he arrived at the East Palace, he had already slept on and off several times.
Xi Po led him out of the sedan chair. Although he had a red veil on his head, he could feel that the sky was getting dark at the moment and the lanterns and candles carried by the people on both sides barely illuminated the way forward.
The surroundings were very quiet.
Even Xipo, who was walking in front also was breathing very lightly as if she was cautiously guarding against something.
After walking a short distance and bypassing many obstacles, Wen Chi was finally helped by Xipo to sit on the bed.
Wen Chi breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to rub his sore legs and remembered that Xipo hadn't left yet, so he had to endure it silently.
He remembered that in the ancient costume dramas he watched before, when the heroine was married with a phoenix coronet and robes of rank, the Xipo would lead the woman into her new house as she talked happily but when he came to him, why was the Xipo so quiet?
And —
Where is the prince?
Is this marriage a one-man show
Thinking of this, Wen Chi couldn't help but feel a little fortunate.
It's best if the Crown prince doesn't come.
Don't ever come.
Xipo stood in front of the bed without saying a word, while Wen Chi could only sit on the bed as quietly as a chicken.
After a while…
Xipo seemed to understand something and said, "It's late, the crown prince must be too busy to come here. Young master Wen, please don't wait and rest early."
Happiness came too quickly, just like a tornado.
Wen Chi quickly suppressed the corners of his upturned mouth and replied obediently, "Thank you."
After Xipo led a few maids away, Wen Chi was the only one left in the bedroom. He sat and waited for a while and when he saw that no one came in, he slowly rubbed off the shoes on his feet and gingerly laid down on the bed.
Ahhh…
comfortable.
Wen Chi closed his eyes and lay down for a while. His thoughts drifted around to the dowry that the Wen family had packed and sent, the two wooden boxes were placed outside and he didn't know what was inside.
He only hoped that Chen momo would not put the five erotic palace pictures in it. When he left, he hid the erotic picture books under the mattress and Chen momo should not be able to find it.
Thinking about it, he felt sleepy.
It didn't take long for darkness to cover all his consciousness.
Wen Chi's sleep state has always been good. When he came home from work, he would fall asleep in seconds as soon as his head touched the pillow. As long as there were no natural or man-made disasters or robbery, he could sleep until dawn without even having a single dream.
But for some reason, he didn't sleep well this time.
In a trance, as if there were cold fingers wandering in his cheeks and the cold touch felt through the skin and penetrated into his sensory nerves like flowing water.
He shuddered and wanted to turn over but in the next moment he suddenly realized something.
He paused and suddenly opened his eyes —
Two red candles were burning in the bedroom and the warm yellow light filled the room to the fullest.
In just an instant, Wen Chi saw the person in front of the bed clearly.
The man was tall but he was sitting on a wooden wheelchair. His long black hair was like ink, which was casually draped over his shoulders. The most striking feature was his face—the right part was full of burn marks, like earthworms winding around his face and you can see the grooves from the candlelight.
At first glance, it was terrifying.
Crown.. Crown Prince?
I thought he wasn't coming!
Wen Chi is no longer in the mood to see how the left side of the Crown Prince's face looks, his body stiffened, he was so frightened that he sucked in a breath of cold air and almost fainted.
Fortunately, he held on.
However, the next second, he realized with despair – the cold touch in his dream was not an illusion but a real hand roaming over his face.
It's the Crown prince's hand.
At this moment, Shi Ye's hand pinched his chin with such force that tears instantly soared out of his eyes from the pain.
Shi Ye narrowed his long and narrow phoenix eyes and swept a cold gaze over his face. Suddenly, he raised the corner of his mouth and laughed: "Here comes another ugly thing that wants to step on me to climb up."
Wen Chi: "…"
Wait, taunting is taunting, why did you make a personal attack?
Because the red mole between his eyebrows is not big, you call him ugly? Bro1兄弟 [xiōng dì] brothers, don't use a mole to judge people ah.
But that's not the point.
"I am not, I did not, I was wronged!" Wen Chi, who was desperate to survive, burst into tears, "Your Royal Highness, I swear I don't have such big ambitions. I just want to eat and sit around waiting to die!"
Hearing this, Shi Ye suddenly fell silent. After being silent, the originally grim expression was visibly changed a few times.
After a long while, Shi Ye curled the corners of his mouth: "Ugly useless thing."
Wen Chi cried even more.
Why are you still attacking me personally?
But soon, Wen Chi couldn't cry anymore.
Because the crown prince let go of his chin and his hand continued to wonder down and finally he slowly grabbed his neck.
"…" Wen Chi's face changed suddenly and he hurriedly made a plea for mercy, "Crown Prince, spare my life…"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Ye increased his strength.
Wen Chi, who was strangled suddenly lost his voice.
Shi Ye's fingers were long and cold and they just wrapped around Wen Chi's slender neck, as if he could easily remove Wen Chi's head with just a little force.
Wen Chi didn't dare to resist. He didn't even dare to take a breath and looked at Shi Ye with red apricot eyes.
The smell of death came down from the sky and caged him tightly.
However, Shi Ye was interested and slowly approached Wen Chi with his face full of burn marks. There was a cold smile on the corner of his mouth but the smile didn't reach his eyes. He couldn't see anything in his dark eyes, it was barren.
"Who taught you to use this trick?" Shi Ye said in a laughing voice. His face was disfigured but his voice was surprisingly pleasant.
Wen Chi shrank his shoulders, shivering, pitiful, weak and helpless.
He naturally knew what Shi Ye was talking about, maybe others didn't but he, who had read the novel three times, knew exactly what he was talking about.
Not considering Shi Ye's eccentric temperament, he has a strange fetish – that is not like to kill the timid and weak, especially a cry baby.
Like a cat, he regarded those people as mice and slowly played and tortured until the mouse lost his life.
Although this process is a bit cruel, at least he can save his life at the early stages.
Wen Chi used some clever tricks on this.
Unexpectedly, Shi Ye saw through it at a glance.
"Smart." With a cold snort, Shi Ye suddenly strangled Wen Chi's neck. He looked at Wen Chi's pale face calmly, like a God. "Do you think I dare not kill you?"
A strong feeling of suffocation crawled up to Wen Chi's head in an instant and large drops of cold sweat seeped from his forehead.
Although he knew for a long time that this tyrant was not easy to deal with, he still underestimated the bloody nature of the tyrant.
I'm afraid he'll have to give up here tonight.
Wen Chi quickly prepared himself mentally, so he continued to lie down without any intention of resisting.
He even closed his eyes peacefully.
However, he waited for a long time but the pain he imagined didn't come.
Wen Chi quietly opened his eyes a little and didn't expect to see Shi Ye's cold and gloomy face. The smile on his face just now disappeared and his phoenix eyes were like an iceberg, staring at Wen Chi straight and coldly.
The hairs on Wen Chi's body stood up.
Who knew that Shi Ye suddenly laughed again and the corners of his mouth pulled the burn marks on his right cheek, instantly turning from a god above to a devil that climbed up from hell.
Then, Shi Ye actually let go.
"You're not even afraid of death?" Shi Ye said, "Then I won't let you get what you wish."
Wen Chi: "…"
You don't have to be so childish.
Although he was very depressed in his heart, Wen Chi was lucky to have his life. He still had to be respectful on the surface. He opened his mouth and a rainbow fart came out, "Thank you Crown Prince for sparing my life. In the future I will work like a cow and a horse to serve the Crown Prince. In order to repay the Crown Prince's great kindness, from today onwards, I, Wen Liang's life will belong to the Crown Prince and when I die my ghost will belong to your highness. I will belong to the crown prince for the rest of my life."
Shi Ye said, "Wen Liang."
Wen Chi got up from the bed and said: "What is the Crown Prince's order?"
Shi Ye was silent and his eyes looked at Wen Chi unfathomably.
Wen Chi lowered his head. He felt that the top of his head was almost bald by the crown prince's stare. He didn't think of himself as a programmer in modern times, because he felt like the programmer's hairstyle is like a tribute to ancient times hairstyle.2I think the WC is trying to say here is that, most programmers are bold (from the stress?) and it is similar to the bald hairstyles in ancient china.
Fortunately, after a while, Shi Ye let him go.
"Good, Wen Liang, you'd better remember your words tonight."
After that, Shi Ye raised his hand and casually gave a wave.
Only then did Wen Chi realize that there was a beautiful maid standing in the shadow of the corner of the bedroom. The maid walked over expressionlessly and he could not hear the sound of her footsteps, she then pushed Shi Ye's wheelchair out.
Wen Chi watched Shi Ye and the maid leave and after they disappeared outside the door, he got out of bed quickly and ran over to close the door.
Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, he saw a few clear fingerprints on his white neck.
He touched his neck in a daze, it hurt a little and he also felt that he had been scared to the point of having cold sweat.
The next day.
The palace steward, Li momo brought two palace maids and a small eunuch for Wen Ji to use.
Wen Chi lives in the Bamboo Flute Residence in the East Palace but unfortunately there are no other praiseworthy advantages other than its pleasant name. The Bamboo Flute Residence is small in size, with two rooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, plus a small courtyard, visually estimated at 100 square feet. The decoration is old and there is a large bamboo forest behind, which gives off a very queer feeling.
But it's not bad.
At least there is a small kitchen and there are palace maids and eunuchs to serve.
Wen Chi, who was ridiculed this morning, was immediately satisfied.
The two palace maids were named Ruo Fang and Ruo Tao respectively. Seeing that they were only fourteen or fifteen years old, they clenched their fingers and buried their heads timidly, not daring to look directly into Wen Chi's eyes.
The little eunuch next to him was called Ping An, who looked a little older and a little bolder. He circled around Wen Chi like a little bee and babbled all his flattering words.
Wen Chi had a headache when he thought about Ping An. So he sent him and Ruo Fang Ruo Tao to other places and then went back to bed.
Not long after lying down, Ping An flew over in a hurry.
"Young Master Wen, Young Master Wen." Ping An shouted, "There are people in the East Palace again."
Wen Chi didn't move, not even opening his eyes he said: "Isn't it normal to have a large turnover of people in the palace?"
Ping An couldn't understand what Wen Chi was saying. He scratched his head, knelt carefully in front of the bed and poured out the news he had just inquired: "I heard that the second son of the imperial preceptor's family and the fifth lady of Piao Qi3骠骑 [piào qí] a title of generals in ancient times General's family came in today."
Wen Chi opened his eyes curiously: "What are they doing in the East Palace?"
"Of course they are the same as Young Master Wen." Ping An whispered, "Married to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Wen Chi: " …"
He had only heard of repayment in installments and it was the first time he had seen marriage in installments.
The author has something to say:
The names of different eras are also different. I have checked the information for a long time, but I am still a little confused.
So you can say "Young Master" or "Furen (wife)."

Chapter 4.1
Wen Chi was very surprised but the surprise didn't last long before dissipating with the wind.
He snorted and continued to lie down peacefully.
It's just the beginning of spring and the flowers have started blooming while the grasses are tall and the warblers are in the air.
Ping An buried his head and waited for a while but didn't get any response from Wen Chi.
"Young Master Wen?" Ping An asked cautiously. He quietly raised his head and boldly stretched his head to look inside the curtain.
Only to see Wen Chi with his eyes closed and mouth slightly opened. He didn't know when he had fallen asleep and he seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Ping An: "…"
He didn't dare to disturb Wen Chi. So he got up from the ground lightly and quietly left the bedroom.
In the afternoon, Ruo Tao was making pastries in the kitchen. Wen Chi finally got up from the bed, put on some clothes and went to guard the kitchen door.
When Ruo Tao turned her back and saw Wen Chi's figure, she was so frightened that she fell to the ground with a plop. "Wen…..Young Master Wen, why are you here?"
Ruo Tao looked nervous and humble. She said softly in a cat-like voice, "Go and rest first. This servant will bring the food soon."
Wen Chi, who was startled by her movement, gave an involuntary hiss.
There was the sound of kneeling on the ground…
It sounded painful
"Get up." Wen Chi said, "Don't kneel in front of me in the future."
Ruo Tao quickly got up and buried her head: "This slave will bear in mind."
Wen Chi said again, "Don't mind me. You can continue with your work."
Ruo Tao responded and turned around to get busy in the kitchen again. Perhaps because she knew that Wen Chi was watching behind her, her movements were much more restrained than earlier.
However, Wen Chi didn't intend to come to supervise the work. He took advantage of Ruo Tao's busy work to look at the items in the kitchen. After he had a good idea, he left.
In the afternoon, the sun was just right so Wen Chi lay happily on the wicker chair and basked in the sun while squinting his eyes.
At this time, Ruo Tao came over with the finished pastries and gently placed it on the stone table beside the rattan chair.
"Ruo Tao." Wen Chi stopped Ruo Tao, who was about to leave, "Help me prepare a few things."
Ruo Tao clenched her fingers and asked in a low voice, "What does Young Master Wen want this servant to prepare?"
Wen Chi thought about it and briefly explained the things that he needed.
The next morning…
Wen Chi was still asleep when Ping An hurried in again.
"Young Master Wen, Young Master Wen." Ping An kneeled in front of the bed, playing the role of a megaphone very dedicatedly, "There are people in the East palace again!"
Wen Chi, who had been awakened by the sound of his footsteps, "……"
He thought to himself, this phrase is familiar – oh yes, Ping An said the same thing yesterday morning.
Before Wen Chi could respond, Ping An said to himself, "I heard that the ones who came in today are the Du Wei family's second young lady and the young lady from the Xizhou prefectural governor's family."
Wen Chi sighed inwardly.
Even if Shi Ye married all the men and women of the whole country into the East Palace, it was none of his business…
Who knew that just after he finished thinking about it, he heard Ping An change his tone and said in a sinister tone: "There are more and more enemies. Why don't we strike first, in case those people later get ahead and play all the tricks to get the Crown Prince's heart."
What the hell!
Wen Chi suddenly opened his eyes.
Why did it switch to the Gong Dou script1It is an ancient court drama about palace fighting LOL all of a sudden?
And Ping An – what's up with him looking so skilled?
Wen Chi was startled, his drowsiness dissipated instantly and he sat up from the bed.
"Don't think about it." Wen Chi hurriedly said, "Let them do whatever they want, I have no opinion about that."
Ping An was confused: "But Young Master Wen, the palace is not as good as outside the palace. As long as you step inside these walls, many things will become out of your control, even if we do not offend others, it is difficult to ensure that others do not offend us."
Don't know if it was Wen Chi's illusion but he actually heard a hint of hatred in Ping An's tone.
Wen Chi knew his words were reasonable, but he couldn't do the same intrigue as the concubines in the harem.
Besides, he is really not good at fighting with others. With his IQ, he can't survive three episodes in a palace fighting drama at all and he can only give it away for others even before he starts.
Wen Chi deliberated for a while before looking at the slightly reluctant Ping An. He in turn reassured Ping An: "But I have nothing now, how can I make the first move? Why don't we first halt the troops and wait2按兵不动 [àn bīng bú dòng] halt the troops and wait; keep quiet; be on the alert, but make no move; bide one's time, and respond to any changes."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ping An's face was filled with joy: "Young Master Wen is humble , you still have His Highness the Crown prince, this mountain to rely on."
The corners of Wen Ji's mouth twitched: "…… When did the Crown Prince say he would be my backer?"
Translator – Xiao He Lian
Incase anybody get confused — At the moment Wen Chi is sent to the palace as Wen Liang, so everybody think that he is Wen Liang and not Wen Chi. That's why the crown prince and everybody else address him as Wen Liang and not Wen Chi, cuz Wen Chi is now pretending to be Wen Liang.
Thankyou @Britener for the coffee!!
Chapter 4.2
"Isn't this an obvious thing?" The night you got married, the crown prince came to stay in our bamboo flute residence for a few hours, a treatment that no one else had."
Wen Chi was stunned.
Ping An saw his relaxed expression and hurried to strike while the iron was hot1趁热打铁 [chèn rè dǎ tiě] Strike while the iron is hot; Strike the iron while it is hot; act at good opportunity or while circumstances are favorable; Make hay while the sun shines: "These days, the emperor is desperately trying to stuff people into the East Palace. But out of all the people stuffed in, which one caught the eyes of His Highness the Crown Prince? His Highness didn't even look at them, only you, Young Master Wen, is the most special one."
"Is this true?"
"The slave dare not lie." Ping An nodded, then raised his finger and swore, "If the slave said one false word to Young Master Wen, this slave would be struck by lightning."
"Don't don't don't don't ……" Wen Chi said, "You are being too much."
Ping An egged on for half a day and seeing a thoughtful expression finally appear on Wen Chi's salted fish face, he sighed in relief. He told Wen Chi to think about it and then exited the bedroom.
Wen Chi lay back on the bed and really thought about it.
After all, the crown prince and the original owner are not the protagonists in the novel and they are not even the supporting roles. Naturally, there are not many scenes in the novel.
Before the original owner married into the East Palace instead of Wen Liang, he and Wen Liang lived under the same roof and only had some scenes. But after the original owner married into the East Palace, life revolved around the crown prince and even the number of appearances was a very few times.
Since then, he did not know the stories behind these plots at all.
If you have to find a reason why a crown prince treats him specially, it should only be because he and the protagonist are half-brothers…
Thinking of this, Wen Chi had a flash of inspiration – could it be because Wen Liang's protagonist aura was too strong and accidentally illuminated him, a small cannon fodder in the corner, that he got the crown prince's favor without any effort, making the crown prince think he was so special, so unpretentious and different from those flirtatious people?
But in any case, being treated specially by the crown prince is not a good thing.
If you put this matter in the workplace, you will be isolated by your colleagues!
In the afternoon….
Wen Chi was still thinking about this.
After all, it was a life-threatening event and for the first time, he had a slight sense of urgency.
So he called Ping An and wanted to inquire about the crown prince.
Who knew that Ping An instantly smiled knowingly and said straight away that he had found a good place to observe their enemies up close.
Before Wen Chi could understand what was going on, he was led to the back of a rockery in a daze.
There is a small flat land behind the rockery, surrounded by trees and it is located at a high place. If someone is hiding inside, it is difficult for people outside to see clearly.
Ping An was well-versed and found a small chair and brought some fruit and cakes, and let Wen Chi wait while eating, while he squatted beside him holding the fruit and cakes.
Wen Chi looked at Ping An's excited appearance and suddenly he couldn't say anything to refuse. He was silent for a while, then reached out to pick up the cake and ate it silently.
Later, Wen Chi realized that the road under the rockery was the only way to enter the East Palace and every sedan chair had to pass this road.
And they can judge the power of the person in the sedan chair by the clothing and the number of maids on both sides of the sedan chair, as well as the dowry boxes carried by the people behind them. The strong ones can be roped in and the weak can be suppressed.
On the first day, two sedan chairs passed by, carrying a man and a woman.
The next day, two sedan chairs passed by, carrying two women.
On the third day, four sedan chairs passed by, carrying a man and three women.
On the seventh day, there were still sedan chairs passing by…
Wen Chi was tired and couldn't bear to interrupt Ping An, who was concentrating on analyzing the current situation. He patted Ping An on the shoulder and asked Ping An to continue to keep watch while he walked around the vicinity.
The East Palace is very big but there are only a few main roads and there are palace maids and eunuchs who he can inquire with, so Wen Chi Road is not afraid of getting lost.
He walked aimlessly and came to a lake where the sun spilled on the surface of the lake making the surface sparkling and jumping with tiny dots of light.
There is a pavilion in the center of the lake.
Wen Chi walked slowly to the pavilion and saw that there were shading veils hanging around the pavilion. Soft cushions were placed inside and there were tea sets and other things on the table.
He sat on a bench near the fence for a while, the sun fell on his body through the veil and he felt warm. Wen Chi couldn't help lying down after basking in the sun for a while.
As a result, he fell asleep.
Don't know how long he slept but Wen Chi heard whispering voices in his ears. He woke up to these voices, he opened his eyes and curious faces came into view.
He was suddenly startled and quickly sat up, almost bumping into the girl closest to him.
Those people immediately backed away like a tidal wave but their eyes still fell on him.
There are men and women, all of whom look like young people around the age of sixteen or seventeen years but each of them is extremely delicate and they are dressed in fancy dress. They all looked at him with different expressions.
Wen Chi did not expect to welcome so many people when he got up from a nap. Subconsciously thought he was occupying someone else's territory and quickly stood up to apologize: "I'm sorry. I'm leaving now."
But he was stopped before he could take two steps.
"You are Young Master Wen, right?" The woman who spoke had a pair of big smart eyes. She was wearing a pale pink dress, a white tulle and a butterfly hairpin in her hair. The bell tinkled as she walked, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to bump into Young Master Wen here."
Wen Chi paused and looked at the smiling woman suspiciously: "Do you know me?"
The author has something to say:
Let me explain:
The appearance of people is necessary for the plot and the wives and concubines are not deliberately set in groups, and their attack has nothing to do with him. They are just a group of cannon fodder and they will end soon (the real end). And there are a lot of settings behind the text, removing this point will make those settings look less reasonable.

Chapter 5.1
Wen Chi was sure that he didn't know the woman.
In fact, in this huge East palace, apart from Ruo Fang, Ruo Tao and Ping An from bamboo flute residence, he only knew the crown prince who he had met once.
Hopefully it won't be exposed…
In an instant, Wen Chi's heartbeat skipped a beat and he almost couldn't breathe.
Before Wen Chi could speak, the woman had already walked up to him, staring at him with her deer-like eyes and said with a familiar smile, "I came to the East Palace the day before yesterday and paid a visit to Young Master Wen."
Cold sweat seeped out from the corner of Wen Chi's forehead.
He quickly calmed down, looked at the woman carefully for a while and found that the woman was beautiful but unfortunately she was not familiar at all. He searched through his memory and couldn't find anyone the right person.
Before he could speak, the woman smiled again: "Unfortunately, I happened to see Young Master Wen leave, so I could only look at Young Master Wen from a distance. Just now I saw Young Master Wen's back a little familiar, that's how I recognized you."
Hearing this, Wen Chi breathed a sigh of relief, but the suspended heart never settled down.
Fortunately…
He thought that the woman recognized that he was not Wen Liang.
When the woman saw that Wen Chi looked tense, she couldn't help but laugh: "My name is Yue Shan, it seems like Young Master Wen is somewhat shy around strangers."
"Yes." Wen Chi lowered his eyes and said smoothly, "I still have some things to do, so I won't accompany you guys to play."
After saying that, he wanted to slip away.
Unfortunately, he hadn't even taken a few steps when Yue Shan called at him again.
"Young Master Wen, wait." Yue Shan said, "It just so happened that I brought some good things with me and I want to give it to Young Master Wen. Since Young Master Wen did not bring out the palace maid and eunuch, why don't you come with me to sit down by the way and have a chat."
Wen Chi turned his neck stiffly: "What is it?"
Who knew that Yue Shan winked mysteriously and said: "Young Master Wen will know when he goes there."
Wen Chi: "…"
So under the different eyes of everyone, Wen Chi had to follow Yue Shan out of the pavilion.
It can be seen that Yue Shan's status among this group of people is not low. Not only was others like a myriad of stars surrounding the moon1众星捧月 [zhòng xīng pěng yuè] A myriad of stars surround the moon; all the famous stars drawing a circle of admirers around him or her; All the stars bend towards the moon; Many people cluster around the one whom they respect, but some people were even reluctant to part with her. There was even a young man who gave Wen Chi a vicious look.
Wen Chi didn't know how to react, so he simply smiled at him.
As a result, the boy was so angry that he looked like a puffer fish about to burst into flames but Yue Shan glanced at him and said, "Yue Gui." Yue Shan's sweet voice suddenly cooled down, "Don't be rude."
The boy named Yue Gui froze and his head drooped like an eggplant hit by frost and the whole person's aura was weakened.
After walking for some time, Wen Chi pondered the names of Yue Shan and Yue Gui.
Yue Shan seemed to see his doubts and waved his hand to make the two palace maids behind him move further away and then said, "Yue Gui is my younger brother. I entered the palace with him two days ago."
Wen Chi understood.
No wonder their names are so similar.
But having said that, that crown prince is too beastly. It's just a matter of asking for a sister and even his younger brother is not spared.
The two walked for nearly a stick of incense2half an hour before arriving at Yue Shan's Yu Sheng Residence.
The environmental conditions of Yu Sheng Residence are similar to those of Bamboo Flute Residence, both are quite simple. But Yue Shan and the two maids are good at planting flowers in the courtyard and even the house has a faint fragrance of flowers.
Wen Chi sat and waited for a while and then saw Yue Shan bring a small wooden box from the bedroom.
"This is the tea my father's old friend brought back from Xizhou. I heard that it tastes very good but unfortunately I don't understand these things. Even the best tea leaves are wasted here." Yue Shan handed the wooden box to Wen Chi , "If Young Master Wen likes tea, I can offer it as a pretext to exchange flowers to offer to Buddha."
However, Wen Chi also doesn't like drinking tea.
But Yue Shan brought the tea to him so enthusiastically that it would look unreasonable if Wen Chi didn't take it.
Wen Chi hesitated for a moment and then took the wooden box: "Thank you."
Yue Shan smiled shyly: "Young Master Wen is too polite."
Wen Chi took the box and was about to leave when Yue Shan said that he wanted to send him out but instead she accompanied him for most of the journey.
Seeing that they were about to reach Bamboo Flute Residence, Wen Chi insisted on not letting Yue Shan continue to accompany him. He always felt that Yue Shan was overly enthusiastic about him, which was really a bit weird.
After all, in the deep palace, it is better to be careful.
Yue Shan saw that his attitude was firm and she was no longer reluctant.
Just when Wen Chi thought that this matter had finally come to an end, he suddenly noticed that Yue Shan's eyes suddenly turned red and in an instant a layer of water mist climbed up her eyes.
Before he could realize what was going on, he saw large teardrops welling up in Yue Shan's eyes.
"Yue…Yue Shan?"

Chapter 5.2
"Young Master Wen!" Yue Shan fell on the ground with a plop and knelt down in front of Wen Shi. She reached out and grabbed the hem of Wen Chi's clothes. "Young Master Wen, please help me, I'm desperate, I don't know who to look for…"
Wen Chi was startled by Yue Shan's sudden action and subconsciously tried to step back but Yue Shan tugged on the hem of his robes.
He grabbed the wooden box in his hand and panicked: "Yue Shan, don't be like this, get up first."
"Young Master Wen, can you help me tell His Highness the Crown Prince? I can only seek you for help." Yue Shan's face was full of tears, looking pitiful.
Wen Chi was confused: "What?"
"In the entire Eastern Palace, you are the only one who is different. There are so many people in the Eastern Palace in the past few days but His Royal Highness has only stayed in the Bamboo Flute Residence. For those of us who want to meet His Royal Highness, it's harder than ascending heaven." Yue Shan cried and said, "I don't want to live my whole life in ignorance, without even being able to see the face of His Royal Highness."
Wen Chi listened silently and seemed to have realized something, he quietly raised his eyes to look behind Yue Shan.
However, Yue Shan seems to be oblivious while still talking to him: "Since I knew that I will marry His Royal Highness one day, I regarded him as my husband. Although I was so far away from him, every news about him touched my heartstrings."
Wen Chi: "…"
Sister, your rainbow fart has gone too far.
"When I entered the palace this time, I thought that the distance between me and His Royal Highness would be shortened. I was so happy that I couldn't fall asleep for several nights, but slowly, those joys turned into disappointments. I didn't think there were so many people in the East Palace. I never thought that it would be so difficult to meet His Royal Highness. I am so heartbroken."
Wen Chi: "…"
He didn't say anything, he just watched her perform in silence.
Although he could keep listening to it, it was obvious that someone could not.
Before Yue Shan could speak, she heard a coughing sound behind her.
Yue Shan was stunned for a moment. The next moment as if she realized something, her whole face lost all its color and she turned around on her knees.
She raised her head with trepidation and what met her eyes was the tall figure of the man in the wheelchair.
In broad daylight, the sun shone brightly on everything and it also unabashedly shined on the terrifying burns on Shi Ye's face into Yue Shan's eyes.
Yue Shan's thin shoulders shook slightly but she was not frightened by the burns. Her eyes widened in surprise and joy: "Crown… His Highness the Crown Prince! Greeting to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Wen Chi stepped back silently, trying to minimize his presence.
At this point, no matter how stupid he was, he could see that all this was intentional by Yue Shan.
Yue Shan had intentionally met him at the pavilion, intentionally brought him back, and intentionally sent him here – perhaps Yue Shan had already heard that Shi Ye would pass by this place at this hour.
And he was just a tool.
Shi Ye is slightly inclined and lazily sitting in a wheelchair. He seems not to care about the burns on his face. He holds his cheek in one hand, as if he is watching Yue Shan's reaction with interest.
There is also the silent maid pushing the wheelchair behind and an older eunuch standing next to him – the cough just now was made by this eunuch.
Shi Ye beckoned to her, as if calling for a puppy: "Come here."
Yue Shan was stunned, her pale face was instantly filled with joy and she hastily lifted her skirt to get up.
Before she could stand up, she heard the eunuch beside Shi Ye shouting in a sharp voice: "How dare you!"
Yue Shan's heart panicked, before her brain could react, her body had reflexively knelt down again.
The eunuch said: "Who allowed you to get up?"
Yue Shan buried her head in fear: "This Concubine is guilty."
After saying that, she crawled towards Shi Ye's wheelchair, then carefully lifted her face and looked at Shi Ye lovingly and greedily
After a while, she whispered, "Your Royal Highness."
"You want to see Ben Gong1The self-proclaimed title of the Crown Prince/ Lord of the House in ancient times?" Shi Ye's voice was low, so pleasant as if it had some kind of bewitching power.
Yue Shan nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice: "I entered the palace to serve Your Highness. If I could see Your Highness, I would die without regret."
"Oh?" Shi Ye lowered his head and used his index finger to lift Yue Shan's chin, "It turns out that Ben Gong has such a charm that you are willing to die."
As he spoke, his hand wandered to Yue Shan's face. It stayed for a moment before coming down to Yue Shan's neck.
Just like that night, he treated Wen Chi.
His hands were extremely beautiful, with long fingers and they easily grasped Yue Shan's fragile neck.
Yue Shan's body trembled slightly, like a butterfly in the wind. She looked at Shi Ye fascinatedly: "After I married into the East Palace, I am His Highness's person. This life naturally belongs to Your Highness as well."
Shi Ye narrowed his phoenix eyes: "What if Ben Gong let you die?"
Yue Shan's tone was firm as she said: "Then I will die without regrets…"
Who knew that before her words fell, the infatuation on her face instantly disappeared, replaced by endless surprise, she fiercely looked at Shi Ye: "You ……"
Shi Ye bared his white teeth and he laughed loudly: "Since you want to die so much, Ben Gong will help you."
After he finished speaking, his five fingers tightened suddenly.
Only Yue Shan's face showed an incomparably painful expression and she didn't even have time to struggle before her neck tilted and she died.
"Trash." Shi Ye's tone was cold and he threw Yue Shan's body to the ground.
Scarlet blood overflowed from the corner of Yue Shan's mouth and her wide eyes were completely missing the joy and infatuation before, only fear and hatred remained.
Even if she lost her breath, her eyes stared straight at Shi Ye without blinking.
Standing on the other side, Wen Chi watched this scene unfold and his shirt was already soaked with cold sweat.
