Chapter 005: Murder

Wen Chi was sure that he didn’t know that woman.

In fact, in this huge Eastern Palace, apart from Ruo Fang, Ruo Tao and Ping An from Zhudi Residence, he only knew the crown prince who he had met once.

It shouldn’t be that he was about to be exposed......?

Wen Chi’s heart skipped a beat in an instant, and he couldn’t help but almost hold his breath.

Before Wen Chi could speak, the woman stepped in front of him. She stared at him with her sparkling deer-like eyes, and said familiarly with a smile, “I came to the Eastern Palace the day before yesterday and I’ve gone to pay a visit to Young Master Wen.” 

The cold sweat oozed out from Wen Chi’s forehead.

He quickly calmed down. He looked at the woman carefully for a while, and found that the woman was indeed beautiful, but unfortunately he was not familiar with her at all. He searched through his memory and found that there was no matching one.

Before he could speak, the woman smiled again: “Unfortunately, I happened to see Young Master Wen leave when I passed by. So, I could only look at Young Master Wen from a distance. Just now I saw Young Master Wen’s back and thought a little familiar, so I was able to recognize you.”

Hearing this, Wen Chi breathed a sigh of relief, but the hanging heart never fell.

Fortunately.......

He thought that the woman recognized that he was not Wen Liang.

Seeing Wen Chi’s tense expression, the woman couldn’t help but smile and said, “My name is Yue Shan, and it seems that Young Master Wen is a little shy with strangers.”

“Yeah.” Wen Chi lowered his eyes and said, “I still have some things to do. So, I won’t accompany you. You guys, have fun.”

After saying that, he was about to run away.

It’s a pity that he hadn’t slipped away a few steps before he was stopped by Yue Shan again.

“Young Master Wen, wait.” Yue Shan said, “It just so happened that I brought some good things here, and I want to give it to Young Master Wen. Since Young Master Wen didn’t bring the palace maid and eunuch, why don’t you come with me? Sit down by the way and have a chat.”

Wen Chi turned his neck stiffly: “What kind of things?”

Who knew that Yue Shan would still wink mysteriously: “Young Master Wen will know when you go.”

Wen Chi: “.......”

So under the different eyes of everyone, Wen Chi had to follow Yue Shan and leave the pavilion.

It could be seen that Yue Shan’s status among this group of people was not low. Not only was she praised and surrounded when she came, but some people were also reluctant to part with her when it was time to leave. There was even a young man who gave Wen Chi a vicious look.

Wen Chi didn’t know how to react. So, he simply smiled at him.

As a result, the boy was so angry that he looked like a puffer fish and he was about to explode, but Yue Shan gave him a glance.

“Yue Gui.” Yue Shan’s sweet voice suddenly turned cold, “Don’t be rude.” 

The boy named Yue Gui froze. His head drooped like an eggplant hit by frost, and his aggressiveness weakened.

After walking away, Wen Chi pondered on the names of Yue Shan and Yue Gui.

Yue Shan seemed to see his doubts, and waved her hand to make the two palace maids behind her move further away, and then she said, “Yue Gui is my younger brother. I entered the palace together with him two days ago.”

Wen Chi figured it out.

No wonder their names were so similar.

But then again, that crown prince was such a beast. It’s fine if he wanted the sister, but not even the younger brother was spared.

The two walked for nearly a stick of incense* before arriving at Yue Shan’s Yusheng Residence.

*(T/N: 一炷香时间 - a stick of incense time, about 30 minutes (from Baidu) )

The environmental conditions of Yusheng Residence were similar to those of Zhudi Residence. Both were quite simple. With Yue Shan and the two palace maids taking care of it, the courtyard was full of flowers, and even the house had a faint fragrance of flowers.

Wen Chi sat and waited for a while, and then he saw Yue Shan bring a small wooden box from the bedroom.

“This is the tea my father’s old friend brought back from Xizhou. I heard that it tastes very good, but unfortunately I don’t understand these things. Even the best tea leaves are wasted here.” Yue Shan handed the wooden box to Wen Chi, “If Young Master Wen likes tea, then I will borrow flowers to offer to Buddha.”

*(T/N: 借花献佛 - borrow flowers to offer Buddha (literally), to make a gift of something given by another, regift (from Pleco))

However, Wen Chi also didn’t like drinking tea.

But Yue Shan brought the tea and gave it to him so enthusiastically. It would be unreasonable if Wen Chi didn’t accept it.

Wen Chi hesitated for a moment, then took the wooden box: “Thank you.”

Yue Shan smiled shyly: “Young Master Wen is polite.”

Wen Chi took the thing and was about to leave.

Yue Shan wanted to see him off no matter what he said, but he didn’t expect that she would accompany him for almost half of the journey.

Seeing that they were about to reach Zhudi Residence, Wen Chi insisted on not letting Yue Shan continue to send him. He always felt that Yue Shan was too enthusiastic about him and it was quite weird.

After all, in the deep imperial palace, it was better to be careful.

Yue Shan saw that his attitude was firm and she no longer forced him.

Just when Wen Chi thought that this matter had finally come to an end, he suddenly noticed that Yue Shan’s eyes suddenly turned red, and a layer of water mist climbed up her eyes instantly.

He hadn’t realized what was going on, but he saw big tears welling up in Yue Shan’s eyes.

“Yue, Yue Shan?”

“Young Master Wen!” Yueshan knelt on the ground with a ‘thump’. She knelt down right in front of Wen Chi. She reached out and grabbed the hem of Wenchi’s clothes. The weeping beauty cried and begged humbly, “Young Master Wen, please help me. I’m desperate and I don’t know who to ask for.........”

Wen Chi was startled by Yue Shan’s sudden action. He subconsciously wanted to step back, but was stopped by Yue Shan dragging the hem.

He held the wooden box in his hand tightly and said with panic: “Yue Shan, don’t be like this. You get up first.”

“Young Master Wen, can you help me talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please? I can only find you.” Yue Shan’s face was full of tears. She looked very pitiful.

Wen Chi was stunned: “What did you say?”

“In the entire Eastern Palace, Young Master Wen, you are the only one who is different. There are so many people in the Eastern Palace in the past few days, but His Royal Highness has only stayed in Zhudi Residence. For those of us who want to meet His Royal Highness, it’s more difficult than ascending heaven.” Yue Shan cried and said, “I don’t want to live my whole life in vain, where I can’t even see the face of His Royal Highness, the crown prince.”

Wen Chi listened silently. He seemed to have a feeling, and quietly raised his eyes to look behind Yue Shan.

However, Yue Shan seemed to be unaware, and was still talking to herself: “Since I know that I will marry His Royal Highness one day, and I have always regarded His Royal Highness as my husband. Although I am so far away from him, every news about him will tug at my heartstrings.”

Wen Chi: “.......”

Little sister, your rainbow fart was too much.

“When I entered the palace this time, I thought that the distance between me and His Royal Highness would be shortened. I was so happy that I didn’t fall asleep for several nights. But slowly, those joys turned into disappointments. I didn’t expect there to be so many people in the Eastern Palace. I never thought that it would be so difficult to meet His Royal Highness. My heart is about to break.”

Wen Chi: “.......”

He didn’t speak. He just watched her perform quietly.

Although he could keep on listening to it, it was obvious that someone could not.

Before Yue Shan could speak, she heard a coughing sound behind her.

Yue Shan was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, she realized something later. Her entire face was bloodless, and she turned around in a kneeling posture.

She raised her head timidly, and what caught her eye was the tall figure of the man in the wheelchair.

In broad daylight, the sun shone brightly on everything, and it also blatantly shone the terrifying burn marks on Shi Ye’s face into Yue Shan’s eyes.

Yue Shan’s thin shoulders shook slightly, but she was not frightened by the burn marks. Instead, her eyes widened in surprise and joy: “Your, Your Royal Highness! I pay respect to Your Royal Highness, the crown prince!”

Wen Chi stepped back silently, trying best to minimize his presence.

At this point, no matter how stupid he was, he could see that all this was intentional by Yue Shan.

Yue Shan intentionally met him at the pavilion, deliberately brought him back, and purposely saw him off to here —— Perhaps Yue Shan had already found out that Shi Ye would pass by this place at this hour.

And he was just a tool man.

Shi Ye leaned slightly and sat on the wheelchair with a slightly lazy posture. He didn’t seem to care about the burn marks on his face, and held his cheek with one hand, as if watching Yue Shan’s reaction with interest.

There were also that silent maid who was pushing the wheelchair behind and an older eunuch standing next to him —— the cough just now was made by this eunuch.

Shi Ye beckoned to her, as if calling for a puppy: “Come here.”

Yue Shan was stunned. Her pale face was instantly filled with joy. She hurriedly lifted her skirt to get up.

Unexpectedly, before she stood up, she heard the eunuch beside Shi Ye shouting sharply in a shrill voice: “Bold!”

Yue Shan panicked, but before her brain could respond, her body knelt again in a conditioned reflex. 

The eunuch said, “Who allowed you to get up?”

Yue Shan buried her head in fear: “This concubine knows her fault.”

*(T/N: 妾身 - concubine; a form of self-address formerly used by a wife when speaking to her husband (from Pleco). I’ll just use ‘this concubine’ for now.)

After that, she knelt down and crawled to the foot of Shi Ye’s wheelchair, then raised her face cautiously. She looked at Shi Ye, admiringly and obsessively.

After a while, she whispered, “His Royal Highness.”

“Want to see Ben Gong?” Shi Ye’s voice was low. It was so pleasant, as if it had some kind of bewitching power.

*(T/N: 本宫 - Ben Gong; I (a form of address one used for themselves, usually used by the queen, princesses or high-ranking consorts in ancient China))

Yue Shan nodded her head like a chicken pecking at the rice: “This concubine entered the palace to serve His Royal Highness. If I can just see His Royal Highness once, this concubine can die without regret.”

 “Oh?” Shi Ye lowered his head and used his index finger to lift Yue Shan’s chin, “It turns out that Ben Gong has such a charm that you are willing to die.”

As he spoke, his hand reached Yue Shan’s face, but after staying for a while, it came to Yue Shan’s neck again.

Just like how he treated Wen Chi that night.

His hands were extremely beautiful, with long fingers, and it easily grasped Yue Shan’s fragile neck.

Yue Shan’s body trembled slightly, like a messy butterfly in the wind. She looked at Shi Ye fascinatedly: “This concubine is married to the Eastern Palace, and is the person of His Royal Highness. Naturally, this life is also of His Royal Highness.”

Shi Ye narrowed his long and narrow eyes: “What if Ben Gong let you die?”

Yue Shan’s tone was firm. She still said: “Then, this concubine will die without regrets........”

Who knew that before she could finish speaking, the obsessive expression on her face disappeared instantly and it was replaced by everlasting surprise. She looked at Shi Ye suddenly: “You.......”

Shi Ye grinned, showing his white teeth. Then, he laughed loudly: “Since you want to die so much, Ben Gong’ll do it for you.”

After he finished speaking, his five fingers tightened suddenly.

Only the expression of incomparable pain was on Yue Shan’s face. She didn’t even have time to struggle, her neck was crooked and she died.

“Trash.” Shi Ye’s tone was cold, and he threw Yue Shan’s body to the ground.

Scarlet blood overflowed from the corner of Yue Shan’s mouth, and the joy and infatuation in her wide eyes before were forever lost, only fear and hatred remained.

Even if she lost her breath, her eyes were staring straight at Shi Ye without blinking.

Wen Chi on the other side watched this scene helplessly, and his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
