Chapter 75.2
Hua Zi Zang had met Liu De and Liu Shan before and when he saw them again, the surprise in his heart was written all over his face. He was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that all this was under the crown princeâs control.
No wonder the crown prince could easily rescue Wen Chi and the others.
Itâs just that I didnât expect a small Wen Chi to have such a great charm and even drove the crown prince who had never left the Eastern Palace gate, to come all the way to Jinzhou to deal with this mess â¦â¦
At this moment, Hua Zi Zangâs feelings could be described as complicated.
He couldnât figure it out no matter what. There were so many men and women of all kinds in the Eastern Palace but none of them could catch the eyes of the crown prince. What was so different about Wen Chi?
Hua Zi Zang shook his head slightly, temporarily putting these thoughts behind him.
He asked Liu De and Liu Shan in detail and Liu De and Liu Shan answered his questions in detail.
Afterwards, Hua Zi Zang examined Wen Chi again.
Finally, he said to Shi Ye: âReplying to Your Royal Highness, Young Master Wen is not pregnant.â
Even though Wen Chi already knew that Hua Zi Zang would give this answer, when he heard these words from Hua Zi Zang himself, he still felt uncontrollably uneasy.
He buried his head, not daring to look into Shi Yeâs eyes.
Shi Ye, who was on the main seat, was silent for a long time before saying, âHe has been suffering from nausea for a while now, why is that?â
Hua Zi Zang said: âOne is the psychological effect, Young Master Wen canât handle the smell of blood and the other is that Young Master Wen has eaten too much recently, so it could also be due to indigestion.â
Wen Chi: ââ¦â
He was so embarrassed that he wished he could find a crack in the ground to hide himself.
Shi Yeâs voice obviously sank a lot: âIndigestion?â
âYes, I suggest that Young Master Wenâs future meals include more fruits and miscellaneous grains, less salt and less oil, mix meat and vegetables as much as possible and also eating fish is important.â Saying this, Hua Zi Zang picked up a brush and began to write on the paper, âIâm writing a prescription here Iâll also trouble Miss Zuo Zhi to go outside and grab some medicine.â
Shi Ye didnât say anything for a long time and finally Zuo Zhi stepped up and said yes.
Wen Chiâs head was almost buried in his collar. He knew that he had made a mistake again and he didnât dare to provoke Shi Ye anymore. At this moment, he just wanted to turn himself into a blade of grass and not be noticed by anyone.
Fortunately, Shi Ye did not rush to find him to ask for punishment, but instead instructed Zuo Zhi to do what Hua Zi Zang had told him to do.
After Hua Zi Zang finished speaking, he prepared to leave.
Zuo Zhi sent Hua Zi Zang to the door and went to the pharmacy to get some medicine. Liu De and Liu Shan brothers saw that something was wrong, so they quickly found an excuse to escape.
In a flash, only Wen Chi and Shi Ye were left in the hall.
Wen Chi felt that the air in the hall was cold, his eyes looked left and right but he didnât dare to look at Shi Ye who had got up and walked in front of him.
But Shi Ye had no intention of playing around with him: âRaise your head.â
Wen Chi raised his head obediently and saw Shi Ye looking down at him. Even from this angle, Shi Yeâs face was still so beautiful that if it wasnât cold all the time, he might have won the love and affection of many people.
The two of them stared at each other for a moment and Wen Chi gave in first: âIâm sorry.â
Shi Yeâs eyelashes were thick and long, like raven feathers, and they twitched twice gently, âWhy are you apologizing?â
Wen Chi knew in his heart that he shouldnât lie but how could he dare to say such things, so he quietly changed his wordings, âI thought you were going to be a father, but unfortunately I thought wrong â¦â¦â
He thought Shi Ye was angry but little did he know that after hearing his words, Shi Ye would actually turn around and comfort him.
âItâs okay.â Shi Ye was very calm, âWe still have long days ahead of us, as long as the heavens reward us, we will have children.â
Wen Chi: ââ¦â
No no no, thatâs not what he meant!
Shi Ye stroked his hair with his hand: âDonât be sad.â
Wen Chi: ââ¦â
Heâs really not sad!
Wen Chi wondered whether he should say something to justify his reputation but unfortunately Shi Ye didnât give him this opportunity, he just told him to rest today and start practicing martial arts from tomorrow.
Wen Chi suddenly froze and when he looked at Shi Ye again, he found that those bright black eyes were filled with a wry smile.
âSince you are not pregnant, then you must work hard to avoid being punished.â
Wen Chi: ââ¦â
Wen Chi was so frustrated that he couldnât speak, he seemed to see the end of the world coming.
*****
The next day, Wen Chi was forced to start a hard life of martial arts training.
He thought that Shi Ye would come to teach him in person but he didnât expect that when he went down to the hall on the first floor, he only saw Liu Deâs figure.
Liu De became much more silent and when he saw Wen Chi, he was no longer as cordial as before, instead he respectfully called him Young Master Wen.
Wen Chi also smiled and said, âBrother Da De.â
Unexpectedly, after hearing his greeting, Liu Deâs expression suddenly changed. He waved his hands quickly and said, âYoung Master Wen, just call me by my name.â
Wen Chi didnât expect Liu Deâs reaction to be so intense, and was confused for a moment.
Seeing this, Liu De explained: âBefore, we did not know the true identity of Young Master Wen and were disrespectful to you. So please forgive me and my brother for our disrespect.â
Hearing this, Wen Chi finally understood why Liu De and Liu Shan looked at him so strangelyâit turned out that they didnât know that he was Shi Yeâs person before, but now that they knew, they naturally had to keep a distance.
Wen Chi sighed in his heart but he understood what they were doing.
Liu De took Wen Chi to the clearing outside. Before teaching him, he still didnât forget Shi Yeâs instructions and took out a calligraphy scroll from somewhere and handed it to Wen Chi: âYoung Master Wen, this is a gift from His Highness to Young Master Wen, wishing Young Master Wen to succeed in his studies.â
Wen Chi took the calligraphy scroll suspiciously.
Although he had a psychological shadow on the two wooden boxes Shi Ye gave him, a word painting should not have any embarrassing content â¦â¦ unless Shi Ye had painted another phoenix on it that looked like a chicken.
But even if he did, it wouldnât damage his reputation.
Wen Chi thought as he opened the calligraphy scroll.
The calligraphy scroll was spread out and on the snow-white paper were four large words written in a dragonâs flight â Heaven rewards hard work.
ââ¦â
Liu De who was next to him also saw these big characters that were written vigorously and perfectly. Even though he was a rough man who didnât know many characters, he couldnât help but admire the good calligraphy of His Highness the Crown Prince.
After sighing, he looked at Wen Chi again.
Liu De thought he would see Wen Chiâs face full of joy, instead Wen Chiâs entire face was so dark as if it was stuck in the bottom of an ink pot.
