Chapter 103.1

However, Shi Ye did not hold on for long and suddenly, he vomited another mouthful of blood.

“Shi Ye!” Now Wen Chi was really frightened. He thought that Shi Ye’s injury would heal soon but it still looked serious. So he put A’Gu aside and leaned over nervously , “You can’t go on like this, I’d better ask Ruo Tao to ask a doctor to come and take a look at you.”

Shi Ye frowned in pain and shook his head lightly when he heard the words: “No need.”

Looking at Shi Ye’s extremely pale face, Wen Chi suddenly became short of breath. For a moment, it seemed as if an invisible big hand was squeezing his heart fiercely, causing his body to tremble slightly in pain.

He felt that something was not right.

Doesn’t Shi Ye have a strong self-healing ability? Why is he still bleeding after half an hour?

“But…” Wen Chi paused, barely able to keep his voice from shaking so hard before saying, “But I don’t know what to do, what can I do to help you now?”

Shi Ye closed his eyes tiredly but the hand placed by his side found Wen Chi’s hand. He seemed to have no strength, so he could only squeeze Wen Chi’s hand gently.

“You don’t have to do anything,” Shi Ye said, “I won’t die yet.”

After saying this, he slowed down his breathing, as if he was slowly falling asleep.Seeing this, Wen Chi didn’t dare to disturb Shi Ye anymore. So he hugged A’Gu who had started to scurry around Shi Ye again  and sat quietly by the bed in a daze.

Who knew that Shi Ye slept for two days and two nights.

During the period, Wen Chi took advantage of Shi Ye’s deep sleep, helped him change the blood-stained clothes, and wiped off the blood stains on his body. While wiping, he found that Shi Ye had many sword wounds on his body. Although they had healed a lot, they still looked hideous and shocking.

After Wen Chi clumsily bandaged the wounds and cleaned up the mess, the doubts that had been pushed down in his mind surfaced again – how could Shi Ye have appeared at the edge of that bamboo forest with injuries?

And he was so badly injured at that.

So, Wen Chi deliberately went to ask Ruo Tao about it.

But Ruo Tao shook her head after listening to Wen Chi: “I’m not quite sure.”

Wen Chi was puzzled, “Aren’t you one of His Highness the Crown Prince’s people? You don’t even know the whereabouts of His Highness the Crown Prince?”

Ruo Tao seemed a little helpless, but still shook her head: “Young Master, this servant is only doing things for His Royal Highness, not always serving by his side like Zuo Zhi. So this servant is not very clear about many things about His Highness. As a servant, this servant girl also does not dare to ask about her master’s affairs.”

When Wen Chi saw that Ruo Tao was indeed ignorant, he gave up the thought of asking further questions; he was silent for a moment and turned to ask, “How long are we going to stay here?”

“According to previous years, we should be able to leave for the palace in five days.” Ruo Tao said, “Concubine Rong is still living in the villa, so it’s not good to leave without authorization.”

Wen Chi nodded.

There are still five days left, which is enough for Shi Ye to recover. If Shi Ye has not woken up by then, he can ask Concubine Rong to stay in the villa for a few more days.

He just didn’t know when Shi Ye would wake up.

Thinking of this, Wen Chi felt suffocated. The feeling was like being pressed into the water. The suffocating sensation turned into long vines that crawled all over his nerves and strangled his nerves bit by bit.

During the time when Shi Ye was unconscious, he also seemed to have his soul sucked out. No matter what he did, he could not find the energy to do anything, and spent the whole day and night in front of Shi Ye’s bed.

A’Gu often ran away and came to him and every time the little eunuch came looking for him in distress.  Then A’Gu would hold on to Wen Chi’s trouser legs, and whenever Wen Chi wanted to give it to the little eunuch, it would start whimpering pitifully at Wen Chi.

Wen Chi was the least resistant to this kind of small animal. A’Gu would just whimper for a while before he would give in and surrender. So he discussed with the little eunuch to keep A’Gu by his side for the time being and return A’Gu to him after he left. 

The little eunuch naturally refused.

Although Wen Chi is from the Eastern Palace, the little eunuch doesn’t know Wen Chi’s status in the East Palace, let alone whether Wen Chi is favored by His Royal Highness or not. If Wen Chi is not as good as this white fox in His Highness’s heart, and if Wen Chi was not as good as this white fox in His Highness’s heart, then the eunuch would be asking for death if he agreed.

But the little eunuch didn’t dare to offend Wen Chi, he hugged A’Gu who was struggling non-stop, his whole face was wrinkled and the embarrassment in his expression almost turning into substance.

Seeing how torn the little eunuch was, Wen Chi did not want to make things difficult for him. So he waved his hand and said, “It’s alright, you can take A’Gu back.”

As if the little eunuch was granted amnesty, he hastily bent down and bowed to Wen Chi and said gratefully: “Thank you, Young Master Wen, for your understanding.”

Seeing the little eunuch running away in a wisp of smoke holding A’Gu in his arms, Wen Chi chuckled, turned around and entered the room and saw Shi Ye still lying on the bed soundlessly.

The sheets under Shi Ye’s body and the quilt on his body were all changed by Wen Chi. The Process was difficult and Wen Chi would be so tired that he wouldn’t get up from the chair for a long time afterwards.

Wen Chi walked gently to the bedside, lowered her eyes and looked at Shi Ye for a long time.

Perhaps it was because Shi Ye had been lying down for too long, his face was getting paler and paler, just like the snow outside the window, with no trace of blood visible, his lips were dry and white, and he looked extremely weak.

Shi Ye’s state of unconsciousness continued from that night until now, without any improvement.

Wen Chi sat on the edge of the bed and slowly grabbed Shi Ye’s hand.

He felt that Shi Ye’s hand was cold, from the palm to the fingertips. Obviously he was holding Shi Ye’s hand but it was as if he was holding a puddle of cold water.

In his memory, both Shi Ye’s face and Shi Ye’s hands were both cold, as if Shi Ye’s body temperature was low, even lower than normal.

But Wen Chi didn’t know if it’s his illusion, but it seemed that Shi Ye’s body temperature was even lower now.

Wen Chi hesitated for a while and decided to go to the bamboo forest to have a look – since Shi Ye came from there, there might be some clues left there.

Although Wen Chi had such a plan in his heart, he still waited patiently until night.

Darkness came early in the winter and the whole villa fell into silence, even Lin Yu and Yue Gui, who had been making a fuss all day, went back to the house early to rest.

Wen Chi slept on a bed in another room for more than an hour. When he woke up, it was already late at night. Seeing that it was almost time, he walked out of the room with a lantern.

Pushing open the door, there was a gust of night wind blowing with snow and it hurt his cheeks. Fortunately, Wen Chi was prepared, he tightened his heavy cloak ,covered his head with the hoodie behind it and quickly walked into the snow with his head lowered.
