Not long ago at the Peach Blossom Banquet, Wen Chi heard Shi Jin mention his going to Jinzhou.
But Wen Chi at that time never thought that this matter might have something to do with him, so he went in one ear and out the other, not paying attention to Shi Jin's words at all.
Therefore, when he heard the emperor say these words, he was undoubtedly shocked in his heart.
He was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while.
"Don't worry, it's still some time before you leave, so you should think about it when you go back." The emperor said to Wen Chi, and sighed, "If it weren't for the fact that so many people have returned without success, I I wouldn’t even come up with such a bad idea.”
Hearing the emperor's sigh, Wen Chi glanced at Shi Jin, who had wandered off from the corner of his vision, and said awkwardly: "It's not that villains don't want to return to the emperor, it's just that it's a bit inappropriate."
The emperor asked: "Where is it inappropriate?"
Wen Chi buried his head even lower: "After all, the villain is the concubine of His Highness the Crown Prince. If he walks out of the palace gate at will without the permission of His Highness the Crown Prince, I'm afraid..."
I'm afraid I'll die a miserable death.
After all, this imperial palace is not a place where you can come and go whenever you want. Before Wen Chi returned to the Wen Mansion, he had to get Shi Ye's consent. He really didn't dare to go beyond Shi Ye and agree to the emperor's request.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Wen Chi finished speaking, the emperor let out a burst of relaxed laughter. The emperor picked up the teacup at hand, took a sip, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, if I don't get along with the prince, I will Why did I call you here directly?"
Wen Chi froze for a moment.
"I asked someone to sort out your methods, and showed them to the ministers. Everyone thought that your methods were feasible, but unfortunately those methods came from your head. The water in the capital can't save Jin. The fire in Zhouzhou, I just want you to go with Shijin's people for a few days, if I can settle the Jinzhou matter earlier, I can settle my concerns earlier." The emperor put the teacup back and continued, "I Originally, the prince was going to replace Shi Jin, but unfortunately the prince's legs and feet are not convenient."
As he said that, the emperor seemed to recall some unpleasant things, his face gradually became ugly, and the hand on his lap gradually clenched into a fist.
And Shi Jin, who was almost replaced, didn't seem to have any sense of crisis, and was still in a fugue with a numb expression.
Wen Chi listened quietly to the emperor's words without making a sound.
After a while, the emperor seemed to have sorted out his emotions, and said: "The prince said that he will not go, but he will not influence your decision. If you are willing to help this favor, you will agree."
Wen Chi was also very conflicted. On the one hand, he didn't dare to provoke Shi Ye, but on the other hand, he didn't want to refuse the emperor's request.
I heard that Shi Jin and the others had started preparing for the trip to Jinju a long time ago, but they suddenly invited him to go with them when they were about to travel. It must have been a long time of psychological homework.
And this is also a rare opportunity for him to make meritorious deeds.
If he really helped the country in this, maybe he would have a better chance of surviving in the future.
It's just that whether Shi Ye agreed willingly or for the sake of the emperor... This point remains to be investigated.
Wen Chi struggled for a long time, and neither refused nor responded directly, but said euphemistically: "Back to the emperor, now the villain lives in the East Palace, rarely steps out of the palace gate and has never thought of going far. Think again."
When the emperor heard the words, he didn't force him anymore: "Okay, I will allow you to think about it for two more days."
Wen Chi said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"If you agree, you don't need to go out with your original identity. I will give you another identity, so you don't have to worry about it." Having said this, the emperor paused for a moment, "Although you are the concubine of the prince, after all, you and Daughter's family is different, you are also a man, so you don't have to confine your thoughts in the backyard too much."
Wen Chi: "..."
If he said that being a dead house is his dream, I don't know if the emperor would be so angry that he vomited blood.
After the emperor finished speaking, he asked the eunuch to send Wen Chi back first, and he still had some things to say to Shi Jin alone.
Wen Chi followed the eunuch out of the study, and saw a tall and thick figure waiting outside like a tall poplar tree.
Wen Chi couldn't help but glance at the man as he passed by.
It really was General Lin.
At this time, when we got close, Wen Chi realized that General Lin had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was not as rough as he imagined. On the contrary, he had a naive attitude that made people laugh. It was just that the height of nearly two meters made General Lin look very Like a strong bear.
I saw General Lin with a sullen face, frowning slightly, and a serious expression, like the frightening commander in the TV dramas of the Republic of China.
However, when Wen Chi recalled the scene of General Lin playing the piano at the Peach Blossom Banquet, he suddenly felt bad.
After walking for a while, the eunuch leading the way noticed Wen Chi's glances at General Lin, and explained to Wen Chi in a shrill voice: "The locust plague in Jinzhou caused a large area of food damage, and riots broke out everywhere. After the famine, many people took advantage of the fire to loot, and I heard that the situation is quite chaotic, so the emperor intends to let General Lin accompany the fourth prince."
General Lin is going too?
Wen Chi was vaguely happy in his heart, and it happened that he also wanted to see what was wrong with General Lin, and why he played the piano at the peach blossom banquet instead of Wen Liang.
The eunuch said: "It's not just General Lin, I heard that there are many people going. This time the emperor summoned a lot of people. Hey, the emperor has been worrying about this matter day and night."
Wen Chi listened silently.
Soon, the eunuch said again: "If even Shangshu Yin was helpless against the locust plague, the emperor would not have come up with such a bad plan to let Mr. Wen take a look. I hope Mr. Wen will think about it."
Wen Chi nodded: "I will."
For the past three days, Shi Ye has been staying in the study, seemingly dealing with official business, but actually doing nothing.
Eunuch Zhu sensed that Shi Ye was in a bad mood, so he stood beside him tremblingly, trying to use himself as a backdrop, for fear of offending the prince.
At this moment, Shi Ye's voice suddenly sounded: "Zhu Xian."
Eunuch Zhu hurried forward: "Yes."
Shi Ye was sitting in a wheelchair, propping his chin with one hand as usual, flipping through the letters with the other hand boredly, his dark eyes were covered by his drooping long eyelashes, and he couldn't see the emotion in his eyes, only he could hear his words with no wave. Wulan's voice said, "Are they gone?"
Eunuch Zhu counted the time and replied in a low voice, "It's almost here."
Shi Ye hummed.
Eunuch Zhu glanced at the letter that was about to be stared into a hole by the crown prince. After a fierce struggle in his heart, he still talked too much in order to live more easily in the future: "His Royal Highness, since you don't want to go to Jin Zhou, why do you want the emperor to ask Mr. Wen?"
Shi Ye didn't even raise his eyelids, and said with a sleepy expression: "The emperor has been walking around in front of me like a fly for so long, didn't he just want me to agree to ask Wen Chi?"
Eunuch Zhu: "..."
Although Eunuch Zhu had heard countless times of the crown prince addressing the emperor in such a mess, every time he heard it, he had a heart attack.
I am afraid that there is no other person in this world as bold as the prince.
Eunuch Zhu quickly collected his thoughts, and said after deliberation: "The servant thought that Mr. Wen would not necessarily reject the emperor, and that he would be rewarded for his meritorious deeds. Today's emperor's rewards are very attractive to everyone..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shi Ye: "He won't go."
Eunuch Zhu was taken aback, and quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Shi Ye turned his head and looked out of the window not far away, which was in the direction of Zhudi's residence. He squinted his eyes, as if he was talking to Eunuch Zhu or talking to himself: "He is so brave! Little, as long as I take a look at this palace, I will tremble with fright, I don't expect him to dare to take a step out of this east palace alone."
Eunuch Zhu didn't make a sound, but the more he listened, the more confused he became.
If the crown prince doesn't want Mr. Wen to go to Jinzhou, he can simply refuse the emperor's request or warn Mr. Wen directly. Why should he give Mr. Wen the right to choose?
Eunuch Zhu could feel the prince's temptations to Mr. Wen, but he felt that these temptations were completely unnecessary.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Mr. Wen has no feelings for the prince other than fear, so no matter how the prince tries, he will not get the satisfactory result he imagined.
It's a pity that he is as smart as a prince, and he doesn't even understand such a simple truth.
Eunuch Zhu sighed in his heart.
As soon as he finished sighing, he saw Xiao Shuanzi walking over holding a black food box in both hands. Xiao Shuanzi bowed his waist and handed the food box forward: "His Royal Highness, this is sent by Mr. Wen." cake."
Shi Ye withdrew his gaze, and his eyes fell on the food box. His originally cold tone seemed to ease a lot: "Bring it here."
"Yes."
Xiao Shuanzi hurried forward and carefully placed the food box in front of Shi Ye.
Shi Ye ordered Eunuch Zhu to open the lid of the food box, and asked, seemingly unintentionally, "Where are the others?"
Xiao Shuanzi was stunned for a moment, before he realized that Ye was talking to him, and said nervously: "Go back to His Royal Highness, Mr. Wen has already set off."
When Shi Ye took the spoon, his voice suddenly became cold: "Let's go?"
"Yes." Xiao Shuanzi said, "The Fourth Prince's team will leave for Jinzhou at noon today. Mr. Wen has already gone to join them. This cake is also a parting gift sent by Mr. Wen."
Just as Xiao Shuanzi finished speaking, Shi Ye suddenly raised his right hand.
The next moment, I saw the spoon in Shi Ye's hand flying straight towards Xiao Shuanzi's forehead.
After all, little Shuanzi couldn't stand the pain like Eunuch Zhu, he immediately groaned, kneeling on the ground with weak legs, he raised his hand and touched his forehead, seeing blood, his whole body trembled like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.
"Get out!" Shi Ye slammed the letter on the table to the ground, his eyes were a little scarlet, so that he looked extremely scary, "Get out!"
Little Shuanzi ran away rolling and crawling.
Eunuch Zhu glanced at the letters scattered all over the floor, then at the undamaged cake, shook his head lightly, and hurriedly followed Xiao Shuanzi out of the study.
Wen Chi made a temporary decision, and he was still unwilling to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Due to the urgency of time, Wen Chi packed his luggage as quickly as possible, and set off with Ruofang.
The emperor arranged for him two court ladies, four bodyguards, and a separate carriage, and also prepared a new identity for him—Lin Yuan, the fourth younger brother of General Lin.
However, Wen Chi still felt isolated when he set out with the large army. If there were no special circumstances, he would have to stay in the carriage all the time.
And until he left, he had never met the Fourth Prince or General Lin.
Fortunately, Wen Chi didn't care about these things. In fact, he hated dealing with strangers more than being isolated.
But Wen Chi at that time never thought that this matter might have something to do with him, so he went in one ear and out the other, not paying attention to Shi Jin's words at all.
Therefore, when he heard the emperor say these words, he was undoubtedly shocked in his heart.
He was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while.
