Transmigrated to become the Tyrant's Male Concubine

The next day.

Wen Chi was woken up by Ruotao.

I haven't seen her for more than two years, Ruotao is still the same, but she seems to have grown a little taller.

After Wenchi finished dressing and washing, he came to the main hall and found that Ruotao had grown a little taller. Originally, Ruotao had just reached Wenchi's chin, but now he had reached the tip of his nose.

The new Zhudi Residence has changed a lot, not only have many more rooms and the front courtyard scenery of the small bridge and flowing water, but also many eunuchs and maids who feel unfamiliar with the warm pool come and go.

It's just that Ping An's figure has never been seen.

On the way back, Wen Chi planned to find an excuse to send Ping An away, so after he finished his breakfast, he asked Ruotao to call Ping An.

In the end, Ruotao didn't move, and said without changing expression: "Young Master, Ping An is no longer here."

Wen Chi asked in surprise: "Not here? Which one is not here?" Is it not in the East Palace or not in this world?Wen Chi's intuition leans towards the latter...

Sure enough, as soon as he finished thinking this way, Ruotao verified his conjecture: "Two or three years ago, shortly after the young master set off for Jinzhou, Ping An was caught by the servant girl while stealing the golden melon seeds of the young master. Tell Eunuch Zhu about the matter, and two days later, Eunuch Zhu sent someone to drag Pingan to him and beat him to death with sticks."

Ruotao finished speaking calmly, without any superfluous expression on her pretty face, as if she was just talking about a very common thing.

Wen Chi fell silent after hearing this.

He glanced at Ruotao silently, then looked away silently, although he guessed in his heart that Ruotao was ordered by others to put her to death, but the ending was good anyway, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After resting for a while, Wen Chi saw that it was getting late, so he left Zhudi Residence.

Due to Wen Chi's special status, he could have gone to see the emperor directly, but since he was working under Mr. Yin in Jinzhou, he should not ignore Mr. Yin in the middle due to emotion and reason.

After Wen Chi and Lord Yin gathered outside the palace gate, they walked together to the Qiankun Palace where the emperor lived.

In the past, the emperor would summon them in the study, no matter how close the relationship between the monarch and his ministers is, there are 1 things wrong for a minister to step into the emperor's Qiankun Palace.

However, there are special circumstances and special treatment. Now the emperor is seriously ill in bed, and has been in bed for more than two years. Even the affairs of the early court have been handed over to the prince, and the court is secretly rumoring that the emperor will die soon...

After entering Qiankun Palace, a eunuch was changed to lead the way.

Wen Chi didn't dare to look or listen too much, he just followed behind with his head down.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the eunuch leading the way finally slowed down and stopped quickly.

The eunuch leading the way stepped forward quickly, whispered to the eunuch guarding outside the palace for a few words, and then came back quickly and said, "Master Yin, Young Master Wen, you may have to wait for a while."

When Wen Chi heard this, he immediately realized that someone must have met the emperor inside.

Mr. Yin said politely: "I have Mr. Lao."

The eunuch lowered his waist and disappeared from their sight after a while.

Although it was also snowing in the capital, the snow here was much milder than that in Jinzhou. In addition, Wenchi was dressed heavily and even wore a warm fur coat, so it was not difficult to wait outside.

And they didn't wait long when they heard footsteps coming from the front, from far to near.

Wen Chi raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw two figures walking out of the palace at a leisurely pace.

It wasn't until the two figures approached that he realized that they were the Fourth Prince and General Lin.

Obviously, the Fourth Prince and General Lin also saw them, paused, and then walked straight towards them.

Looking at Shi Jin and Lin Zhe, Wen Chi always felt that something was wrong.

While thinking this way, Shi Jin and Lin Zhe had already walked up to them.

Wen Chi quickly withdrew his thoughts, and greeted Shi Jin together with Mr. Yin.

Shi Jin waved his hand, indicating that they don't need to be too polite: "Father is waiting for you two inside, go quickly."

Mr. Yin said a few words politely, and then led Wen Chi inside.

After walking for a while, Wen Chi couldn't help turning his head, and saw Shi Jin and Lin Zhe were also walking out. They seemed to be talking, so they were very close, almost sleeve to sleeve.

Wen Chi stared at the two figures for a while, and finally realized where the strangeness he felt just now came from——Shi Jin didn't reject Lin Zhe anymore!

He remembered that when they were still in Jinzhou, Lin Zhe took the stone he picked up from Wen Liang with him, but Shi Jin hated that stone very much, every time he saw Lin Zhe, he wanted to hide away, why now different...

Or is it that the effect of that stone on Shi Jin disappeared?

Wen Chi couldn't figure it out, and of course he didn't have so much time to figure it out right now.

Not long after, Wen Chi followed Lord Yin to the emperor's dragon bed.

The emperor's sleeping hall is very large, and the bright yellow dragon bed is also very large. There are layers of curtains hanging around the dragon bed, and the figure of the emperor lying on the dragon bed cannot be seen clearly.

However, when Wen Chi walked in, he smelled a very strong smell of medicine and other messy smells, which merged into one piece and mixed in the air, which was very unpleasant.

Wen Chi's expression remained unchanged, and he knelt down in front of the dragon bed just like Master Yin.

Lord Yin said in a deep voice: "My minister sees the emperor."

After waiting for a while, there was a painful coughing sound from the dragon bed. Seeing this, the eunuch guarding the side rushed forward to gently caress the emperor. Unfortunately, doing so didn't help at all. The emperor seemed to be coughing up his lungs.

After finally coughing, the emperor took a breath, and then said in a rough and hoarse voice: "Excuse me."

Master Yin got up lightly.

Wen Chi also got up quickly, and stood behind Mr. Yin without saying a word.

Even though Wen Chi couldn't see the emperor's appearance, he could still feel that the emperor was seriously ill, and it was extremely difficult to utter every word... If he didn't get timely medical treatment, he might not last long.

But then again...

Didn't he remember that the blood of the Hua family has the ability to bring the dead back to life?Why didn't the emperor think of this?

Although it was difficult for the emperor to speak, Lord Yin and Wen Chi could hear clearly when he spoke word by word, and it was mostly Lord Yin who reported the situation in Jinzhou to the emperor, and the emperor didn't have much to say.

Soon, half an hour passed.

The emperor felt tired, so he asked Mr. Yin to step back first.

In fact, Mr. Yin's main purpose of entering the palace this time is not to report the situation of Jinzhou to the emperor. He wanted to see the emperor on the one hand, and said a few words for Wen Chi, so after the conversation ended, he After hesitating for a while, he suddenly knelt down: "Your Majesty, I have the guts to make an unfeeling request to the Emperor."

The voice of the emperor came from the curtain: "Speak."

Mr. Yin kowtowed to the ground, and then said something he had already considered: "Wen Chi, the concubine of the Wen family, stayed with Wei Chen in a remote area like Jinzhou for two or three years, and now that he returns to the capital, things are different. , although Wen Chi and His Highness the Crown Prince were married, Wen Chi did not stay in the East Palace for long... I dared to ask the emperor, for the sake of this minister, because Wen Chi has served the country for the past two or three years, There is no credit but there is hard work, and Wen Chi is free!"

Mr. Yin spoke earnestly, his tone was up and down, and after he finished speaking, he kowtowed to the ground again.

The emperor suddenly fell silent.

Master Yin lay on the ground and did not get up, Wen Chi also carefully slowed down his breathing, quietly waiting for the emperor's answer, he even wondered if the emperor had fallen asleep.

Suddenly, the emperor said: "Wen Chi."

Wen Chi quickly responded.

The emperor asked: "I want to hear your thoughts."

Wen Chi also knelt down, he took a deep breath, opened his lips and said, "Back to the emperor, the villain made a big mistake in a moment of confusion. The villain is willing to reflect on his mistakes for the rest of his life, and he will not be in charge of politics if he does not examine officials. I hope the emperor will help him."

The emperor was silent for a long time, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yin Qing, go down."

The implication is to let Wenchi stay alone.

Mr. Yin naturally heard the meaning of the emperor's words, and he immediately expressed some hesitation, but he didn't dare to resist the order, and after hesitating, he could only answer yes, so he got up from the ground, looked at Wen Chi, and remained silent left.

For a while, only Wen Chi was left in front of the dragon bed.

Wen Chi didn't know what the emperor meant, he knelt on the ground alone, and suddenly became nervous.

At this moment, the emperor's voice sounded again: "Wen Chi, come here."

Wen Chi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously raised his head to look at the eunuch who was serving beside the dragon bed. Seeing Wen Chi's blank expression, the eunuch quickly waved to Wen Chi with winks.

Wen Chi understood, got up on the ground with hands and feet, and walked carefully to the edge of the dragon bed.

The emperor said again: "Come here again."

Wen Chi moved forward another two centimeters...it was equivalent to standing still.

The emperor seemed to be pissed off by Wen Chi's cowardice, and with a puff, not only did he pant harder, but his voice suddenly became a little higher: "Come here again! Will I eat you again!"

The eunuch next to him was taken aback suddenly.

Wen Chi was also taken aback suddenly, he took a big step forward reflexively, and directly stuck to the side of the dragon bed.

Now, Wen Chi could finally see the emperor's appearance clearly—to say he was haggard would be an understatement, but he didn't expect the emperor to be so thin after seeing him for more than two years, with sunken eye sockets, sunken cheeks, and turned lips The abnormal bluish-purple color, just looking at the face, seems to be a layer of skin covering the skull, presumably the body under the quilt will not be much better...

Wen Chi could hardly recognize the person in front of him. Is the person in front of him still the handsome and elegant middle-aged man he had seen before?

Being so close, Wen Chi seemed to smell the death breath wafting from the emperor.

Wen Chi was terrified in his heart, but fortunately he managed to suppress these emotions, and was only slightly taken aback on his face.

The emperor didn't care about Wen Chi's reaction, he stared at Wen Chi closely with those cloudy eyes: "Do you really want to leave?"

Wen Chi nodded: "Yes."

The emperor shook his head lightly: "It's a pity, you can't leave yet."

Wen Chi had expected this answer from the emperor for a long time, and he was not surprised. They all said that entering the palace was difficult, and leaving the palace was even more difficult than entering the palace. If he wanted to avoid being criticized, the emperor's answer was reasonable.

But before Wen Chi finished thinking, he heard the emperor say in a difficult way: "When the crown prince successfully inherits my seat, if he lets you go then, it's not too late for you to go."

Wen Chi lowered his eyes to avoid the emperor's gaze, and whispered: "The villain doesn't understand..."

The emperor smiled lightly: "Although I don't know the reason, I know that you are a special existence to the prince... In the past two years, the prince has often visited you in Jinzhou."

Wen Chi said in surprise: "Back to the emperor, the villain has never seen His Highness the Crown Prince in the past two years."

"It seems that he is hiding and dare not see you anymore." A trace of helplessness flashed in the emperor's eyes, "The prince is like that, he keeps everything in his heart, and I have nothing to do with him."

Wen Chi's eyes flickered, and he opened his mouth, but no word could come out of his parched throat.

During the last two years in Jinzhou, he did not see Shi Ye again. He thought that Shi Ye had been staying in the capital obediently, or was trapped by something, but he didn't expect...

"So, you can't leave yet." The emperor seemed to gain some strength, and even spoke coherently, "Take it as a task assigned to you by me. If the crown prince lets you go from now on, my people will find you. Give you a certain amount of compensation, so that you can live comfortably for the rest of your life."

Wen Chi was stunned, unable to make a sound for a long time.

After Wen Chi left, the eunuch beside him stroking the emperor frowned worriedly and said, "Your Majesty, according to my servant, Mr. Wen may not be able to stabilize His Highness the Crown Prince."

After the emperor coughed, his voice was weak: "It's up to them whether they can stabilize themselves. I just did what I should do... I hope the prince can see my good intentions and let his brothers and sisters go..."

After speaking, the emperor had no more strength, so he just closed his eyes and rested.

Looking at the emperor's withered face, the eunuch sighed in his heart many times.

Back then, the ancestors used their blood and sweat to seize this country, and I am afraid that until their death, they would never have imagined that their descendants would hand over this country one day.

That's right, the power of the Hua family has grown stronger and longer in the past few decades, if the emperor insists on abolishing the prince and appointing other princes as princes, there will probably be a bloody storm, and it is not known whether the country can be kept.

Although the emperor's decision seems cowardly and cowardly, it is also the most safe way.

Along the way, Wen Chi returned to Zhudi Residence in a state of dismay, and then began to live as a dead house again.

If you want to say that the capital is better than Jinju, the weather in the capital is probably better than the weather in Jinzhou. Even if it snows heavily, as long as you wear thick clothes, you won’t be so cold that your hands and feet will tremble, and most of Wenchi sits indoors Next to the charcoal fire, I can't feel the cold even more.

The snow continued to fall for half a month, and Wen Chi also stayed in the house for half a month.

Originally, Wen Chi wanted to meet Lord Yin, and thank Lord Yin for speaking for him in front of the emperor that day, but now that he has regained his status, he has to avoid suspicion even when writing to Lord Yin. .

As time passed, Wen Chi had no choice but to give up this idea, and stayed peacefully in Zhudiju.

Seeing that the new year was approaching, the palace should have been lively, but now the disputes in the court involved the harem, so that everyone in the harem was in danger and was racking their brains to find ways to protect themselves. The atmosphere in the palace was extremely tense for a while.

Of course, Wen Chi stays at home, so these things have nothing to do with him.

That afternoon, Wen Chiwo was drowsy on the recliner next to the charcoal fire, when he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps, accompanied by Ruofang's shrill voice: "It's not good! Master, something is not right! "

Ruotao was squatting on the ground, fiddling with the charcoal fire with a stick, turned her head when she heard the sound, frowned and said, "Ruofang, keep your voice down, the young master is resting."

Only then did Ruofang realize that her voice was too loud, she quickly covered her mouth in panic, looked left and right with her round eyes, and finally landed on Wen Chi: "My lord..."

Seeing Ruofang's guilty look, Wen Chi thought it was funny, he waved at Ruofang, and waited for Ruofang to run over, then asked, "What's going on?"

Ruofang ran in a hurry just now, but now she was still panting, her face was flushed, and she stammered, "His Majesty, the crown prince is sending a letter of divorce."

"Divorce letter?" Ruo Tao got up awkwardly, "What divorce letter?"

It was the first time Ruofang saw Ruotao's cold eyes, she was frightened, her mind went blank for a moment, and she even forgot what she was saying.

After a while, under Ruo Tao's urging, Ruo Fang regained her voice: "What other divorce letter can I have? Of course it is the kind of divorce letter that you know and I know."

Wen Chi also stood up from the recliner, and said solemnly, "Who is he sending the divorce letter to? Why?"

So Ruofang told in detail the news she had inquired from other court ladies not long ago.

It turned out that it was not His Royal Highness who was sending the letter of divorce, but Eunuch Zhu who was sending the letter of divorce. Naturally, what he sent was the letter of divorce to dissolve the marriage relationship, and let the little eunuchs bear the rewards and send those people out of the East Palace without a trace—— The meaning of Eunuch Zhu is naturally the meaning of His Highness the Crown Prince.

In short, His Royal Highness is cleaning the backyard.

Speaking of this, Ruofang looked bewildered and scratched her head irritably: "I also heard that since the emperor was seriously ill, the little concubines in the harem have not stopped doing little tricks. Everyone wants to pave the way for their own future, but What does this have to do with His Royal Highness writing a letter of divorce? Could it be that His Royal Highness suddenly felt that there were too many right and wrong women, so he wanted to clean up the backyard before succeeding to the throne?"

Ruotao knocked Ruofang on the head: "His Royal Highness has his own plan to do this, and it's not up to us maids to make wild comments."

Ruofang also felt aggrieved when she saw that Ruotao was still defending His Highness the Crown Prince until this time, she pitifully covered her knocked head, and said angrily, "I'm not worried about our young master, in case Eunuch Zhu sends the letter of divorce to you." Come to our Bamboo Flute Residence..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of "uuuuuuuuuuuuu".

Ruo Tao covered Ruo Fang's open mouth with her hands expressionlessly, and she glared at Ruo Fang with a stern face: "Don't talk nonsense, it is absolutely impossible for Eunuch Zhu to send the letter of divorce here. "

A farce soon ended.

Originally, Ruofang was still worried, but after listening to Ruo Tao's words, she suddenly felt that what Ruo Tao said had some truth.

After all, their young master is the only one in the backyard of the East Palace who has served His Highness closely, even if His Highness wants to disband the entire backyard, it should be their last turn.

Thinking of this, Ruofang felt relieved.

The two little girls didn't take this matter seriously at all. After muttering together for a while, they went off to do their own work.

Only after Wen Chi stood there for a long time did he seem to slowly regain his thoughts. He turned around and sat back on the chair, and lay down again.

In the afternoon, when Ruofang was tidying up the house, she picked up something, and she took it to find Wen Chi excitedly.

"My lord, look!" Ruo Fang raised the mask in her hand, her face was filled with a joyful smile, "Where do you think this servant found this mask?"

Wen Chi sat up a little bit, stared at the mask for a while, only to realize that this mask was not the one he had given to Ping An before?

After Ping'an was beaten to death by those eunuchs, his clothes and clothes were taken away by those eunuchs. It stands to reason that this mask should not be left behind.

Soon, Ruofang gave him the answer: "The servant found this mask in the storeroom. That Pingan really has no heart. The young master treats him so well. In the end, he stole the golden melon seeds of the young master and gave the young master to him." Throwing his things in the storeroom, the slaves are so mad!"

Ruofang became angrier as she spoke, raised her small fist and hit the mask several times.

The mask was strong and durable, and Ruofang's strength was weak, so the mask didn't get damaged in the slightest.

On the contrary, Wen Chi, who was said to be very kind to Ping An, looked embarrassed and let out a few dry laughs.

At that time, he threw a lot of heavy work to Ping An, which made Pingan exhausted every day. Ping An probably hated him to death. Only Ruofang, who had a thick filter for him, felt that he was very good to Ping An.

Looking at the mask, Wen Chi felt inexplicably guilty: "Throw it away, the left and right are useless."

Ruofang touched the mask: "It's a pity to throw it away. It just so happens that Ruotao said that she likes this mask, why don't you give this mask to Ruotao as a servant."

Wen Chi had no objection.

Ruofang got Wen Chi's consent, turned around and happily ran out to find Ruotao.

As a result, just as she ran out the door, she suddenly bumped into a little eunuch who ran in from outside in a hurry.

The little eunuch was dizzy from being bumped, and when he regained his composure, he realized that the person he bumped into was Ruofang, the court lady, and he was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground with a plop: "Sister Ruofang, someone is coming from outside!"

Ruofang held onto the door frame in time to avoid falling, before she recovered, she asked, "Who's here?"

The little eunuch kneeling on the ground was trembling: "It's Mr. Zhu, Mr. Zhu is here,"

Ruofang was taken aback, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Wen Chi.

Wen Chi reacted quickly, and immediately called Ruo Tao, who was still busy in the back room, to welcome him out together.

Today's Zhudiju is much larger than the previous Zhudiju. It takes a short distance to walk from the main hall to the vestibule. Wen Chi walked fast, and soon saw a small team headed by Zhu Gonggong standing upright. Standing in front of the gate of Zhudiju.

Eunuch Zhu held Fuchen in his arms, and the old god was watching Wen Chi approach quickly. He nodded and said, "Mr. Wen, this servant is here to deliver you this—"

As he spoke, Eunuch Zhu winked at the little eunuch beside him.

The little eunuch understood, immediately took out a letter, held it in both hands, bowed his waist, and carefully handed it to Wen Chi.

Wen Chi looked down, only to see two words written on the envelope - divorce letter.
