Wen Chi stared at the paper for a moment, then collected his attention, reached out and picked up the paper: "Thank you for making a trip, Eunuch Zhu."

Eunuch Zhu smiled.

After Wen Chi put away the small white porcelain bottle and the paper, he stood up: "Does His Royal Highness have any other orders?"

Eunuch Zhu seemed to sigh softly: "His Royal Highness hopes that Mr. Wen will take care."

Hearing this, Wen Chi's eyelashes twitched violently, but there was no unnecessary expression on his face, he nodded and said, "I will."

Eunuch Zhu also nodded: "Zuo Zhi will stay in Jinzhou for the time being, and protect Mr. Wen at any time. If Mr. Wen encounters any troubles, he can inform Zuo Zhi at any time."

Wen Chi hummed, but he didn't take Eunuch Zhu's words to heart.

Seeing that Eunuch Zhu seemed to have nothing else to say, Wen Chi said goodbye, turned around and was about to go out.

However, just after taking two steps, I heard Zhu Gonggong's hesitant voice coming from behind: "Mr. Wen, wait a minute..."

Wen Chi stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look: "Eunuch Zhu, what else is there?"

"Mr. Wen, at that time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came back in a hurry. It was true that the situation in Beijing and China was tense. Now many things have changed dramatically, but no matter what, Mr. Wen had better be cautious in words and deeds."

Seeing that Eunuch Zhu lowered his head slightly, and the worry on his expression didn't seem to be fake, Wen Chi couldn't help being stunned for a moment: "The situation is tense? But what happened?"

It's a pity that Eunuch Zhu didn't intend to continue, but buried his head lower: "Those things shouldn't involve Mr. Wen. Mr. Wen can just concentrate on the matter at hand while being cautious."

Originally, Wen Chi wanted to inquire about Shi Ye's news, but since Eunuch Zhu didn't want to say more, he didn't bother to ask any more.

He thought he didn't care about Shi Ye that much anymore. If Eunuch Zhu hadn't found him suddenly, he would have thrown Shi Ye out of the sky long ago.

This is a good thing.

Wen Chi withdrew his thoughts, bid farewell to Duke Zhu, and continued to walk outside.

Soon, he saw the woman in red again, and saw the woman in red standing silently in front of a flower stand. She tore off the red veil from her head and face, revealing a strange and beautiful face.

When Wen Chi passed by the woman in red, he paused, and called tentatively: "Zuo Zhi?"

The woman in red bowed her head and replied, "Yes."

Wen Chi looked at her face carefully: "It really is you."

The easy-going Zuo Zhi raised the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly: "Just now, this servant scared Mr. Wen."

Wen Chi was noncommittal: "That's not true."

Zuo Zhi restrained his smile, and then said in a slightly apologetic tone: "Forgive me for being inconvenient at the moment, and unable to send Mr. Wen back. After a while, I will find a way to contact Mr. Wen."

Wen Chi naturally knew that Zuo Zhi's appearance at this moment was not suitable for sending him back to the Zhou Mansion, and of course he didn't want Zuo Zhi to send him back, so he hurriedly said thank you and left the private room quickly.

Although this private room was on the first floor, it was located in a remote place, and no one was seen on the way in and out.

Wen Chi walked quickly, and it didn't take much effort to arrive at the private room where he had treated guests on the second floor before. Unexpectedly, all the people in it had left, only a few girls were left to clean up the tables and chairs.

Wen Chi asked, "Where are the people here?"

A girl said blankly: "The guest officer is referring to the young masters who just had dinner and listened to the music here? They have already paid the bill and left."

Wen Chi was a little embarrassed when he heard the word "checkout", so he had to ask the little girl to arrange a carriage for him, and hurried to Zhou Mansion.

Fortunately, his speed was fast enough. As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw two familiar-looking carriages stop outside the gate of the Zhou Mansion, and the anxious figures of Yue Zhicheng and Liu Wen got off the carriage.

Wen Chi heaved a sigh of relief, and walked over quickly: "Brother Yue! Brother Liu!" He called out to everyone else who got off the carriage.

Those people didn't expect that they would run into Wen Chi outside the Zhou Mansion, and their eyes widened. Liu Wen was the first to react, pointing at Wen Chi, and said in surprise, "Brother Wen, didn't you get kidnapped by that person?" huh? Why are you back again?"

As soon as Wen Chi heard Liu Wen's words, he knew that these people must have thought about all the bad possibilities on the way back. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said the words he had prepared: "That girl is also a poor person. He thought that I was a rich man who spent a lot of money, so he wanted me to take her in."

Sure enough, the focus of these people was immediately shifted.

Liu Wen asked with concern: "Did you accept her?"

Wen Chi shook his head: "No."

Liu Wen and the others showed regretful expressions at the same time: "Hey, it's a pity."

Wen Chi: "..."

Now that they are in a different place, one more thing is worse than one less thing. Even though these people thought Wen Chi's statement was a little strange, but seeing that Wen Chi was already standing in front of them safely, they didn't go any further.

Otherwise, when the time comes, my curiosity will be satisfied, but it will cause a commotion.

So Yue Zhicheng, Liu Wen and others gave up the idea of ​​looking for the Fourth Prince and General Lin, entered the mansion together, and then went back to their respective courtyards.

When Wen Chi returned, Ruofang had been standing at the gate of the courtyard looking up and down for a long time, and finally saw Wen Chi's figure, and the worry on Ruofang's face instantly turned into joy.

"Young master, you are back."

Wen Chi looked at Shang Ruofang's bright smile, feeling guilty and guilty for a while, he handed the food packed from the brothel to Ruofang: "If it's cold today, you don't have to wait for me outside."

Ruofang happily took the packaged food, her delicate face almost burst into a smile: "Thank you, young master, for always thinking about your servant, it's not cold outside, and your servant is dressed warmly."

Wen Chi laughed and waved his hands: "Go in."

Ruofang let out a cry, and walked in front with small steps.

They lived in the courtyard where General Lin lived before, and the room where General Lin lived was on the right.

General Lin's schedule is quite regular, he seldom comes home late, and also dislikes going out at night, basically as long as it is dark, the candles in his room will be lit.

But tonight, his room was pitch black.

Ruofang, who was walking in front, felt that Wen Chi had stopped, turned around in doubt, and caught Wen Chi's hesitant eyes. She walked over and whispered, "I don't know what's going on with General Lin. Before you come back, my lord, Lin The general came back, he was in a hurry, as if there was something urgent, and the servants saw that General Lin seemed to be packing his bags."

Hearing this, Wen Chi suddenly remembered what Eunuch Zhu said.

Eunuch Zhu said that there was a major event in the capital. At first he thought that the event that Eunuch Zhu mentioned was only related to Shi Ye, but he did not expect that it would affect the Fourth Prince and General Lin.

He briefly recalled the plot of the original novel.

The original novel always follows the plot from the perspective of the protagonist Shou Wenliang. Wen Liang did not enter the East Palace, and the emotional line with the fourth prince also developed slowly. In the early stage of the novel, Wen Liang relied on systematic help to fight for the best and find resources. In the later period, the fourth prince, Shi Ye and others were gradually involved.

If one must come up with a big plot, it should be that the Four Princes Party in the court launched a large-scale protest against the prince?

wrong……

This protest was carried out anticlimactically, and then it was nothing.

Wen Chi thought for a long time, and the only thing he could think of was that the current emperor suddenly fell ill, causing the court to be in turmoil, and the civil and military officials were suspicious of each other and took sides.

And the struggle between Shi Ye and Shi Jin gradually intensified.

"Sir?"

Ruofang's voice brought back Wen Chi's thoughts.

Wen Chi shook his head, said it was okay, and continued walking forward.

After going back to the room and taking a shower, Wen Chi remembered the things Mr. Zhu gave him when he was about to go to bed. He took the clothes he changed into, sat by the bed, and took out the small porcelain bottle and paper from his cuffs.

He tore off the stopper wrapped in red cloth on the small porcelain bottle, squinted one eye and looked inside, and there was indeed a pill lying quietly inside. He turned his palm and poured the pill into the small porcelain bottle. palm.

It was a green pill, exactly the same as the poison that Shi Ye made him take before.

Wen Chi secretly suspected——was it because Shi Ye asked him to take another poison after the time limit expired, and then asked Eunuch Zhu to give him another dose of poison.

But after thinking about it, it seems that Shi Ye is not someone who would lie about this. If Shi Ye wanted him to die, he should tell him this idea openly, and then let him die plainly...

wrong!

no no no no...

Why is he still helping that dog prince?

What kind of person that dog prince is is none of his business. Anyway, they are so far away, and they will go their own way in the future.

Although Wen Chi thought very honestly in his heart, in fact he poured a cup of hot water cowardly, and swallowed the pill with the hot water—he had already taken the poison, and there would be no more poison than this. Bad result too.

Waiting for the warm pool to take the medicine, put down the cup, and finally opened the neatly folded paper.

On the way back, he guessed many times what was on the paper, he even wondered if it was a letter of divorce.

Who knows that after opening——

There was only one sentence above.

"Within one year, go to Chenjiazhuang to find Chen Wu."

Wen Chi only took one look and recognized the handwriting on the paper.

This is Shi Ye's handwriting. His handwriting is very beautiful, flamboyant, free and unrestrained, but every stroke is so vigorous and powerful.

It's just that Wen Chi couldn't understand what was written on the paper.

Wen Chi held the paper and pondered for nearly half an hour, but still couldn't figure it out, so he stopped pondering. He glanced at the time limit on it, and folded the paper again.

He wandered around the room for a while, then took out the wooden box from the cabinet that had never been touched, and hid the paper at the bottom of the wooden box.

The next day.

After Wen Chi had had breakfast, he was about to go to Shi Jin to discuss the establishment of a protected area, but before he could walk out, he heard a knock on the door.

Ruofang ran over and opened the door to have a look.

I saw General Lin standing outside the door.

General Lin didn't wear casual clothes like before. He put on armor and looked quite serious.

Due to his status, it was inconvenient for General Lin to enter Wen Chi's room, so he called Wen Chi to the courtyard outside.

"There is an urgent matter in Beijing, the fourth prince and I plan to go back for a while," General Lin said, "Mr. Wen, it will be inconvenient for you to stay here alone. Do you want to go back to Beijing with us?"
