But soon, Hua Yin looked away.

Wen Chi felt relieved.

At the same time, the man behind him also walked to his side, and it was General Lin who had not seen him for a long time. General Lin saw Wen Chi's face was ugly and worried, and thought that something had happened to him: " Young Master Wen? What's wrong with you?"

Only then did Wen Chi realize his gaffe, he quickly squeezed a smile, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, thank you General Lin for your concern."

Wen Chi nodded, and thanked him a few times.

General Lin only saw Wen Chi from the sidewalk, and then he thought of coming over to greet him a few words. After the greetings, he planned to return to his own position.

Just as General Lin was about to leave, Wen Chi suddenly remembered something, he hurriedly stopped General Lin, and when General Lin looked back in confusion, he smiled and asked casually: "Speaking of this, I remembered it. I wonder if King Xuan's illness is getting better."

General Lin was confused: "Sick?"

Wen Chi said: "When I was in Jinzhou, King Xuan looked very haggard, and then you left in a hurry. It has been two years since then, and I have never had the opportunity to visit King Xuan... Naturally, it's not easy for me to visit King Xuan, so I can only ask General Lin about you."

After finishing speaking, Wen Chi showed guilt. He was not good at acting. Fortunately, after he lowered his head, General Lin couldn't see his face, so he didn't need to show too much acting skills.

After listening to these words, General Lin immediately understood, so he comforted Wen Chi and said, "King Xuan has been fine, thank you." After a pause, he sighed, "I want to Speaking of which, it's my fault."

Wen Chi said, "What does King Xuan's illness have to do with General Lin?"

General Lin thought that Wen Chi was one of the few witnesses, so he didn't hide it: "Master Wen still remember the stone I showed you? The one I picked up at the peach blossom banquet. A stone strung with a red string."

Wen Chi had a vague guess in his heart. On the surface, he still pretended not to know anything. With a serious expression, he nodded and said, "I have an impression."

"Hey, I thought it was just an ordinary stone, how could I know it's very evil!" General Lin seemed to recall some bad things, his expression was a little strange, and he considered it for a while. Only then did he continue, "The whole thing is a long story, but I guess that stone has the effect of enchanting the mind, and can make a normal person strange."

Needless to say, the person who was made strange must be Shi Jin, the fourth prince.

Or should I sympathize with the more innocent General Lin.

General Lin felt that this matter was too mysterious, but he didn't say anything to Wen Chi. He only said that the stone was not a good thing, and also told Wen Chi not to pick up anything and wear it on his body in the future.

Wen Chi thought that ordinary people would never pick up a stone of unknown origin and hang it around his neck, but he did not rule out the possibility that General Lin was bewitched by the stone.

Finally, Wen Chi finally came to the topic he wanted to ask most: "Where's that stone? Did you throw it away?"

General Lin scratched his head: "I threw it, but not me."

Wen Chi: "?"

General Lin explained: "Later, I took the stone off and put it on the cabinet. When I thought about it a few days later, the stone was gone, maybe it was taken by the cleaning maid. I threw it away, but I asked those maids, and they all said they didn't see the stone, I asked a few times, but I didn't hear anything, and the matter was over."

It seems that General Lin got rid of the stone before leaving Jinju.

It's no wonder that when Wen Chi met Shi Jin and General Lin outside the emperor's bedroom, Shi Jin no longer rejected General Lin as he did in Jinzhou. behind the scenes.

And…

The moment he heard General Lin say that the stone was gone, the name of Hanako Zang instantly appeared in Wen Chi's mind.

Intuition tells him that Hanakozo may have taken the stone.

In addition to him and Shi Jin, the only people who know that General Lin owns the stone are Hanako Zang. The family once had such a magical spiritual stone.

So, Hanakozang stole the spirit stone from General Lin and returned it to the Hua family, and then the news spread to Shi Ye's ears, Shi Ye decided to go get the spirit stone in person, but was caught The Hua family was injured and collapsed outside the bamboo forest behind the villa...

After connecting all of this in series, the cloud and mist lingering in front of Wen Chi dissipated a lot at once.

The buns that caused a **** case.

After General Lin left, Wen Chi couldn't sit still. Fortunately, the focus of this celebration was on Sir Yin. Even if he slipped away quietly, no one would find out.

Ruotao was waiting outside the hall, and she was a little surprised to see Wen Chi leaving early, so she trotted forward: "Young Master."

Wen Chi walked very fast, without turning his head, he said concisely: "Go back to the East Palace."

If Tao saw that Wen Chi's face was wrong, she didn't dare to ask any more questions, and followed Wen Chi quietly.

The color of the sky above them was extremely dark and gloomy, and the dense snowflakes fell from the sky and merged with the heavy snow on the road. It's been snowing almost every day these days, and the maids and eunuchs couldn't clean it. In order to save manpower, they only swept the snow every three or four days.

After that, the footsteps will become more and more cumbersome.

Wen Chi had a hard time walking, but he was impatient, and wished he could just put on a pair of wings and fly back to the East Palace. When he walked to the back, he couldn't help but work on the light work.

Immediately behind Ruo Tao's deliberately lowered frightened voice: "Young Master, we are in the palace! This is absolutely impossible!"

It's a pity that Wen Chi couldn't listen.

"Young Master!" Ruo Tao followed behind, but did not dare to stop him, so he had to persuade, "Young Master, slow down! It's not good to be seen by others!"

Fortunately, the snowy weather was cold, so everyone could stay out of the house as much as possible. In addition, the road they took was relatively remote, and they did not meet anyone along the way.

Back to the East Palace, Wen Chi did not walk in the direction of Zhudiju, but went straight to Shi Ye's bedroom.

If Tao had no choice, she continued to follow Wenchi.

Wen Chi came to Shi Ye's bedroom and was about to step in, but was stopped by two eunuchs guarding the door.

.

But Wen Chi couldn't wait anymore, so he said, "I'm here to find His Royal Highness."

An **** has already entered to report, and the remaining eunuchs stopped in front of Wen Chi and said embarrassedly: "Young Master Wen, this servant naturally knows that you are here for His Royal Highness, but this rule is a rule, If you don't have the promise of His Royal Highness, and give a servant a hundred courage, you won't dare to let anyone in, so please be considerate of the servant."

Wen Chi was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Ruotao, he thought that Ruotao was someone by Shi Ye's side and might be able to say a few words.

However, Ruotao looked helpless, indicating that she was helpless.

Although Wen Chi was very anxious in his heart, he didn't break the rules and broke in directly, so he could only wait anxiously outside the door like an ant on a hot pot. After waiting for a long time, he finally The **** who waited for the notification hurried out.

Wen Chi hurried up to meet him.

But the **** showed an apologetic expression: "Young Master Wen, Eunuch Zhu said that His Royal Highness is unwell, and has rested for now, you should come back another day."

Wen Chi said: "Can I see Eunuch Zhu?"

"This..." The **** glanced at the **** next to him, then shook his head, "I'm afraid this is a bit inconvenient, Eunuch Zhu is busy serving His Royal Highness."

At this time, Ruotao also persuaded from behind: "Master, it's freezing cold outside, let's go back early, lest you freeze again."

The **** also said: "Yeah, Young Master Wen, if you can't see His Royal Highness today, you should go back quickly."

After Ruotao and the **** sang and reconciled, Wen Chi finally changed his mind, turned around and followed Ruotao back to the bamboo flute residence.

At night, the snow that had been falling all day finally stopped.

No one will discover his existence.

He ran a lot against the wind before he came to Shi Ye's bedroom.

Eunuch Zhu stood guard outside the hall without leaving an inch, motionless like a piece of wood, squinting and dozing off, and seven or eight little eunuchs standing beside Eunuch Zhu.

Not only that, but also a team of guards patrolling back and forth outside the hall.

Even if Wen Chi was rough, he felt that Shi Ye's bedroom was heavily guarded at this time. He remembered that there were not so many eunuchs and guards outside Shi Ye's bedroom before.

Wen Chi walked forward for a short distance based on memory, and soon saw the big bed covered by layers of curtains.
