Chapter 105.2

Wen Chi was not sure that the stone Wen Liang picked up was the spirit stone that Shi Ye was talking about. He omitted the steps of Wen Liang picking up the stone, and only said that when he and General Lin went to Jinzhou, he happened to see General Lin wearing a brilliantly coloured stone, General Lin also said that the stone had been picked up at the Peach Blossom Banquet.

Shi Ye asked carefully and Wen Chi answered them one by one.

Finally, Shi Ye fell silent.

Seeing that Shi Ye closed his eyes again, Wen Chi didn’t want to disturb him, so he quietly leaned against Shi Ye’s arms, staring at the crackling and burning firewood in a daze.

After a while, Wen Chi heard Shi Ye’s voice: “I will definitely get the spirit stone.”

Wen Chi asked, “Is that important?”

Shi Ye was also a little uncertain: “I’ve never seen the spirit stone with my own eyes, but I often hear Hua Yin mention it. Hua Yin said that the spirit stone is very mysterious and can satisfy any desire of a person under certain circumstances.”

Hua Yin?

Wen Chi felt that the name was very familiar and after thinking about it for a while, he realized that Hua Yin seemed to be Shi Ye’s maternal uncle and also Empress Hua’s twin brother.

But it was strange to say that both Hua Zizang and the Eldest Princess had said that Hua Yin and Shi Ye were very close, yet he had lived in the Eastern Palace for so long, spending almost every day on Shi Ye’s side and meeting many people, but had never met Hua Yin.

No, that’s not the point.

Wen Chi shook off those messy thoughts, turned his head and looked straight into Shi Ye’s eyes. His expression was extremely serious and he said solemnly: “If that spirit stone really has the effect your uncle said, what do you want to do with it?”

Shi Ye lowered his eyes to look at Wen Chi, his face was tepid, he could not see any happiness or sadness, he asked back very calmly, “If I said I wanted to use it to save the Emperor, would you believe me?”

Wen Chi didn’t expect Shi Ye to say that and he froze for a moment.

Shi Ye didn’t speak anymore but quietly waited for Wen Chi’s answer. Although he hid it well, the undercurrents that gradually flooded in his eyes still betrayed his emotions.

His hands holding Wen Chi began to tremble slightly and he suddenly regretted what he said just now.

Now everyone thinks that he drugged the emperor, that he had caused him to be seriously ill for the sake of the long coveted throne.

Since everyone said so, it’s not surprising that Wen Chi would think so. He blamed himself, he shouldn’t ask Wen Chi at this time, he should have kept silent.

It’s all his fault.

Although Shi Ye kept hypnotizing himself like this, those negative emotions were like a volcanic eruption, even though he tried desperately to suppress them, he could not.

In the end, his body was trembling.

“There’s no need to say it.” Shi Ye suddenly released his hands from holding Wen Chi. He looked so wretched that it was as if he was running away from something, “I know your answer ……”

Before he finished speaking, his body froze suddenly – because Wen Chi hugged him back.

Wen Chi was afraid that Shi Ye would leave, so he hugged him very tightly. He wished he could turn into an octopus and entangle Shi Ye. He raised his head, his almond eyes were wide and he frowned, “Where are you going?”

Shi Ye looked into Wen Chi’s eyes and suddenly calmed down. He murmured, “I want to go out and calm down.”

Wen Chi was very speechless: “Your Royal Highness, we are in a cave, not in your Eastern Palace. Where are you going to calm down? Do you want to go outside the cave to cool down in the cold wind and snow?”

Shi Ye: “…”

Looking at his embarrassed expression, he seemed to have just realized the problem.

Wen Chi hugged Shi Ye tighter and then remembered to answer Shi Ye’s question just now: “I believe you.”

Shi Ye was very obviously taken aback.

Seeing this, Wen Chi added: “I believe what you said, you are looking for the spirit stone for the emperor.”

Shi Ye looked at Wen Chi for a while and then suddenly smiled under the firelight, as if he was very happy but also suppressing something. His eyes fixed on Wen Chi’s face, the shadow of flames reflected in his black eyes, as he said: “Those idiots in the court thought that the emperor was drugged by me.”

Wen Chi scratched his head: “Did you drug him?”

Shi Ye sneered: “I never do such nasty things.”

Wen Chi patted Shi Ye on the shoulder: “I believe in you.” Although his belief and support are useless, he still needs to make a statement.

Shi Ye stared at Wen Chi: “You trust me that much?”

Wen Chi didn’t have any scruples and told the truth: “You never seem to have lied to me.” Even when he was fed poison before, he told him clearly that it was poison. Wen Chi has to say that this crown prince is …… really open and honest in dealing with people.

Hong Shixian1(Hong Shixian, this name is the actor in a TV series “The Temptation of Going Home”. He is a representative of a scumbag. If someone says you are Hong Shixian, it means that you are a scumbag.) is clearly a scumbag but Shi Ye is worse

After getting a satisfactory answer, Shi Ye hugged Wen Chi honestly again.

***

After staying up late all night, Wen Chi couldn’t hold on and fell asleep in Shi Ye’s arms.

When Wen Chi opened his eyes again, he found that he was already lying on the bed, with Ruo Tao guarding beside him.

Seeing Wen Chi wake up, Ruo Tao came up to him joyfully: “Young Master!”

Wen Chi opened his mouth and his voice was extremely hoarse: “Where’s Shi Ye?”

Ruo Tao said: “His Royal Highness sent the young master back and then left. You’re not feeling well, so it’s better to rest.”

Wen Chi really felt very unwell. He felt dizzy and his throat was dry and sore. He remembered the last time he had been sick like this.
