Chapter 6.1

Murdered…. murdered……

The Crown prince murdered…

Wen Chi’s shocked eyes fell on the dead corpse on the ground and for a while, the hairs on his whole body stood up.

He had seen so many actors pretending to be corpses on the set before, this was the first time he had seen a real corpse, but just a short time ago, that corpse was a living human being …..

Wen Chi felt something tumbling in his stomach and a strong feeling of nausea accompanied by fear soaked into the marrow and rushed into his brain in an instant.

He thought he would be unable to stop throwing up- fortunately he held back.

In the end, he just staggered back two steps.

The palace maids and eunuchs around Shi Ye looked like they were not surprised.

The eunuch expressionlessly clapped twice and four eunuchs came up behind him immediately.

Soon, the four little eunuchs quickly carried Yue Shan’s body away.

Wen Chi stood in place, not even daring to move.

He watched silently as the maid took out a handkerchief from nowhere and knelt down on the ground, carefully wiping Shi Ye’s hand that had just touched Yue Shan.

Shi Ye tilted his head and his cold eyes fell on Wen Chi.

His eyes were pure black, like a pool of dark stagnant water, without the slightest vitality but they were so sharp, as if he could see through Wen Chi’s soul at a glance.

Wen Chi was startled and quickly lowered his head, his hands holding the wooden box trembled a little.

The next moment, he heard Shi Ye say coldly, “You take whatever others give you, you really have no sense of precaution.”

Wen Chi buried his head even further.

He looked unmoved on the surface, but in fact, a storm had already set off in his heart.

How did Shi Ye know that Yue Shan gave him tea?

At this time, Shi Ye said again, “Aren’t you afraid of that thing being poisonous?”

Wen Chi didn’t dare to look directly into Shi Ye’s eyes and hurriedly lowered his head and said, “Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise and powerful, with Your Royal Highness sitting in the East Palace, those cow demons and snake spirits1A metaphor for all kinds of bad guys naturally don’t dare to make trouble under the nose of His Royal Highness.”

“You sure can talk.” Shi Ye, who seemed to be pleased by his rainbow fart, laughed and said, “It’s a pity that you said everything wrong.”

Wen Chi did not understand. So, he raised his head apprehensively and hesitantly asked, “Does Your Highness mean …… that this tea is poisonous?”

Shi Ye held his cheek in one hand as before, lazily squinting his eyes and looking like a child who is upto some mischief. He said mysteriously, “Whether it is poisonous or not, you will know after you try.”

Wen Chi: “…”

The eunuch who followed Shi Ye walked over without saying a word and took the wooden box in Wen Chi’s hand. After opening the wooden box, he held it in both hands and handed it to Wen Chi: “Young Master Wen, please.”

Wen Chi was shocked by this turn of events then followed by overwhelming despair.

It’s over…

After all, it was his turn as an eyewitness.

Sure enough, the ancient costume dramas were right. If you see something that you shouldn’t see, you will die. In the end, the crown prince still stretched his claws at him, an innocent and weak passer-by.

Originally, Wen Chi was not very concerned about these tea leaves and was going to store them at the bottom of a drawer. Now seeing Shi Ye’s attitude, he was almost certain that there was something wrong with the tea leaves.

Wen Chi hesitated for a moment, then under Shi Ye’s burning eyes, he grabbed a lot of tea leaves from the wooden box and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it.

With a heart that was determined to die, he became much more courageous and looked directly into Shi Ye’s eyes.

He had to admit that even though half of Shi Ye’s was severely burned, his eyes were very beautiful, with wide eyelids and raised ends. He is born with an aura of an overbearing monarch.

Unfortunately, those beautiful eyes are empty.

When Shi Ye met his gaze. He was stunned for a moment and then he showed an inscrutable expression. His slender fingertips touched his cheek and said with great interest, “You are so strange. You don’t seem to be afraid of death. “

Wen Chi honestly said, “I’m afraid.”

Shi Ye twitched the corners of his mouth and glanced at the wooden box in the eunuch’s hand, with a hint of irony in his eyes: “You ate quite a lot.”

“…” Wen Chi was actually ashamed for a moment. He retorted weakly, “If I don’t eat, will I be able to survive?”

“No.” The crown prince looked at him and grinned, “Bengong has ways to make your death even worse.”

Wen Chi was desperate.

Shi Ye seemed to have had enough and waved his hand. The maid immediately understood and pushed the wheelchair away.

Wen Chi stepped back to the side.

Who knew that the wheelchair stopped before it was pushed out and Shi Ye’s impatient voice floated in the wind: “Still not following?”

Wen Chi was stunned for a moment and after confirming that Shi Ye was talking to him, he hurried up to meet him. : “What other orders does Your Royal Highness have?”

“Follow me.” Shi Ye smiled, “Let Bengong see how you poison yourself to death.”

Wen Chi: “…”

Wqnmlgb!

Forget it…Forget it…

Civilized people don’t swear.

But the main point is that, in case he accidentally speaks those words, I’m afraid his body will turn cold faster and also die more miserably.
