Chapter 116.1

It was only in the afternoon that the group boarded the carriage back to the palace.

The snow outside had indeed stopped, and without the curtain of snow, Wen Chi’s vision suddenly became much clearer and the gloomy sky in the past also revealed layers of light. A ray of warm sunlight broke through the thick clouds and sprinkled on the ground covered with thick snow.

The carriage was driving on the snow and the wheels rolled over the snow, making a creaking sound.

Wen Chi was still a little uncomfortable, curled up in the quilt like a frost-beaten eggplant. The carriage swayed a little and he drifted off to sleep.

After what seemed like a long sleep, Wen Chi vaguely felt that someone’s hand reached over his head, so he leaned over and rested on a warm chest.

A familiar light fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose.

Wen Chi didn’t know if it was because of the scent that was almost imprinted in his heart but Wen Chi felt better. He found a comfortable position in Shi Ye’s arms and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The carriage moved forward slowly like this.

By the time they entered the capital, the sky was already getting dark, with wisps of golden light fading into the sky.

Although it was night, the streets of the capital city were just beginning to become lively, with lights and festoons adorned and the peddlers on the street began to yell with all their might.

There were three carriages before and after them and a plainly dressed coachman sat outside each carriage. With His Royal Highness’ orders, the coachmen did not dare to reveal their identities easily and kept a low profile as much as they could along the way.

Despite this, when the three carriages pulled into an alleyway, a black shadow suddenly appeared and stumbled into the driver’s view from the shadows.

In the blink of an eye, the black shadow stopped in front of the first carriage.

The driver of the first carriage turned pale with fright and hastily clutched the reins.

“How dare you!” The coachman remembered His Highness and Young Master Wen in the carriage behind and cold sweat crawled all over his face as he scolded the black shadow, “Do you want to die? If you’re sensible, get out of my way quickly!”

However, not only did the black shadow not retreat, instead the person took a few steps forward tentatively.

Seeing that the man ignored his words, the coachman became angry, pointed at the shadow and said angrily, “Stop!”

It was as if the person had only just heard the coachman’s words, he immediately stopped in his tracks as if he was frightened.

“Forgive me, my lord. I.. I’m here to find someone.” The person’s voice was clear and crisp with a unique juvenile tone, yet his voice shook extraordinarily due to fear, “I’m looking for my brother.”

Hearing this, the coachman frowned.

He doesn’t care whether this person is telling the truth or not. At this moment, he just wants to get rid of this person quickly. If there is a delay and His Royal Highness blames him, he’s afraid he’ll lose his life. 

“We don’t have your brother here, look elsewhere if you want to find him!” The coachman waved his hand and said impatiently, “Hurry up and get out of the way!”

“My lord ……”

The coachman forcefully interrupted the man’s pleading words, “Get out of the way, or don’t blame me for being rude.”

Seeing that the coachman was so difficult to speak to, the man hesitated for a moment, then suddenly mustered up the courage to take two steps forward.

With the lanterns on both sides of the lane, the coachman finally got a good look at the face of the person – the person was a young man in his twenties, handsome and beautiful, with pitiful peach blossom eyes filled with tears.

The coachman froze for a moment, his eyes fell on the very conspicuous red mole on the center of the young man’s brow, feeling distressed.

He was a teenager with a red mole.

Originally, the coachman was holding back his anger, but when he saw the red mole, most of it disappeared immediately. He is a big man who can’t afford to haggle with young people.

Thinking of this, the coachman took a deep breath, intending to make the man go away in a peaceful manner but before he could say his words, he saw the man shouting at the top of his voice.

“Wen Chi, I know you are in the carriage. I have something to tell you face to face. Can you come down and meet me?” Wen Liang learned of Wen Chi’s whereabouts from his mother but he didn’t know which carriage Wen Chi was in. He stumbled forward, shouting at the top of his voice as he went, “Wen Chi, come out! Why do you keep avoiding us? Even if my mother is not your biological mother, she and father took you in and raised you, is this how you treat their kindness?”

Wen Liang’s mood was very complicated. He envied Wen Chi for being favored and protected by His Highness the Crown Prince, but also resented Wen Chi’s completely disregarding the kindness he had received from the Wen family for his birth and upbringing.

If he had known that Wen Chi was such a ruthless person…

Then he would definitely not let his father send Wen Chi to the Eastern Palace. In this way, which not only did not bring any benefit to Wen Liang, but also fueled Wen Chi’s arrogance.

The incidents that happened during this period of time emerged in Wen Liang’s mind, the court was in turmoil, the Wen family was implicated and the fourth prince’s party members almost regarded Wen Liang as a target…

Thinking of these, Wen Liang felt more and more suffocated,  as if a net had fallen from the sky and enveloped him.

It’s all Wen Chi’s fault.

It’s all because of Wen Chi, that white-eyed wolf!

“Wen Chi!” Wen Liang looked up at the window of the nearest carriage, his eyes seemed to be spitting out poison and shouted, “Wen Chi, come out. If it weren’t for you, how could our Wen family be implicated? Father couldn’t afford to get sick because of those things, but you hide under the wings of His Royal Highness and live a peaceful life, do you still have a conscience?”
