Eunuch Zhu pointed at the dumplings and clay balls on the table: âAlthough these look like just rice dumplings and clay balls, there may be some secret devices hidden in them.â
Wen Chi said weakly, âEunuch Zhu, you really think too muchâ¦â
They are just ordinary dumplings and clay balls!
Yesterday, the crown prince of your family had a great time playing with these clay balls, xiu.. xiu.. xiu â¦1 beating those people up.
Itâs a pity that Eunuch Zhu didnât listen to Wen Chiâs words at all and hurriedly wrapped the dumplings and mud balls again with lotus leaves: âThis servant should report this matter to His Highness. Now that there are so many demons and monsters eyeing in the dark eye, this servant canât let even the smallest matter slide, in case something goes wrong.â
Seeing this, Wen Chi became anxious and hurriedly stepped forward to hold the thing in Eunuch Zhuâs hand: âRight, I remembered!â
Eunuch Zhu said blankly, âWhat did Young Master Wen remember?â
âHai, I bought these dumplings and clay balls.â Wen Chi patted his forehead and said suddenly, âLast night I went to the market with His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness wanted to eat dumplings, so I went to buy some. After that episode last night, I forgot about it.â
Eunuch Zhu was stunned for a moment and then said, âWhat about this clay balls?â
âI bought them too.â Wen Chi said nonsense in a serious manner, âHis Royal Highness suddenly felt bored and wanted to play with mud, so I bought this lump of clay for His Royal Highness to play with.â
But he wasnât exactly lying. Shi Ye was really playing with clay last night, even though he just flicked the clay into the killersâ bodies to kill them.
After Eunuch Zhu heard Wen Chiâs words, there was still a hint of suspicion in his expression and he looked at Wen Chi up and down.
Wen Chi didnât dodge his gaze and looked at Eunuch Zhu with a sincere expression.
After a long while, Eunuch Zhu still compromised, put the things in his hand back on the table and at the same time did not forget to instruct Wen Chi: âYoung Master Wen, there are some things that this servant has to say. That seat is for the convenience of His Royal Highness, not for you to hang things, even if it is something His Highness asked you to buy, hanging on top of the seat is not appropriate.â
Wen Chi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly hugged the dumplings and clay balls in his arms. He bowed his head and said gratefully, âEunuch Zhu is right, I will remember it next time.â
After Eunuch Zhu finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room, presumably to find the unpredictable crown prince again.
Wen Chi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and wanted to sit on a chair to rest. But as soon as he turned around, he saw a tall figure leaning against the window sill from the corner of his eye.
Wen Chi froze suddenly as he reached for the chair.
After a while, he slowly raised his head.
Isnât this person in front of the windowsill the crown prince Eunuch Zhu has been worried about?
When did Shi Ye come?
How come there was no sound at all!
With the light falling on his back, Shi Ye walked over from the window sill. He looked tall but in fact very thin, but not the kind of ugly thin, his limbs were long and his body proportions were perfect.
Wen Chi watched as Shi Ye walked in front of him, raised his hand and pinched his chin.
âIt seems that you know Bengong better than Bengong.â Shi Ye said, âYou even know that Bengong likes to eat dumplings and play with clay.â
Wen Chi: ââ¦â
He really hate his stupid mouth.
In just a moment, Wen Chiâs eyes turned red with fear from all the messy thoughts in his head and he said with trepidation, âYour Highness, I am aware of my mistake.â
Shi Ye asked casually, âWhat did you do wrong?â
Wen Chi replied with a strong desire to survive: âI was wrong about everything!â
Shi Ye squeezed Wen Chiâs chin.
Wen Chi was so scared that he looked at Shi Ye with round eyes, a layer of watery mist spreading out in those almond eyes.
Shi Ye looked at these eyes, and didnât know what to think but he was a little distracted. When he came back to his senses, he found that Wen Chi was so frightened that his body was trembling. He pursed the corners of his mouth and let go of his chin: âBengong will give you the opportunity to redeem yourself.â
Hearing this, Wen Chi, who seemed to have died, came back to life in an instant: âIf Your Royal Highness ordered me to do anything, I will go through fire and water to do it without hesitation!â
Shi Ye sat in a wheelchair and glanced at Wen Chi with a half-smiley smile: âYou donât have to go through fire and water. You can record this account first and calculate it later.â
Wen Chi: ââ¦â
Why does he feel like he jumped into a huge pit â¦â¦
*
Eunuch Zhu searched outside for a long time and finally found His Royal Highness in the private room. He walked in cautiously, hunched over and saw Shi Ye sitting lazily in a wheelchair, playing with something in his hand.
After approaching, Eunuch Zhu could see clearly â what His Royal Highness was holding was actually a very ugly clay figurine.
Seeing this, Eunuch Zhu was extremely surprised.
He just heard Wen Chi say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes to play with clay but he didnât take it seriously, thinking that Wen Chi was talking nonsense.
But right now, it turns out that His Royal Highness really likes to play with clayâ¦
When he realized that he did not know His Highness as well as Wen Chi, Eunuch Zhu fell into a bad mood.
On the way back to the palace, only Shi Ye was in a happy mood and the faces of Wen Chi and Eunuch Zhu were both gloomy and miserable.
When getting off the carriage, Wen Chi and Eunuch Zhu collided head-on.
When the two saw each other, they thought of the lump of clay in unison and sighed in unison.
After entering the palace, Wen Chi went directly back to the Bamboo Flute Residence.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Ping An, who like Shenlong2 sees its head but not its tail3, greeted him enthusiastically: âYoung Master Wen, you are back.â
Should be the sound of flicking those mud balls LOL
