Many people watched the live stream, including Chengqian.
He sat on a rooftop not far away, looking down at how Shen Ye was feigning pitifulness.
After watching the live stream, he disappeared off the rooftop to report back.
Chengqian recounted everything that had just happened to Lian Jingzhi without missing a single word. Throughout the entire conversation, Lian Jingzhi remained expressionless, as if he were listening to something utterly boring.
"Give the order: anyone who dares to help him from now on should pack their things and get out of the palace."
Chengqian looked at Lian Jingzhi, bowed, and then withdrew to continue monitoring Shen Ye.
At this moment, Shen Ye was eating with his servants when Xuan Yin saw him from afar. He opened his mouth as if to remind him to be more careful in the palace.
But he held back the words before he could say them, and didn't take that step.
He'd better pray for himself! Although this kid is exceptionally talented and has great potential, he offended a cunning man like Lian Jingzhi. Judging from the current situation, he probably won't die anytime soon.
The daily water and firewood consumption of the Prince's Mansion increased dramatically, from four vats of water to six, and two piles of firewood to three. Moreover, the maids were all helpless, as orders came down that anyone who helped would have to pack their things and leave the mansion. So everyone was in a state of fear, and no one dared to help.
Shen Ye knew that all of this was definitely the work of that scheming boy, who was determined to make things difficult for him. He appeared very magnanimous on the surface, but was actually a petty and vindictive man!
Every day, seeing Shen Ye go hungry because he couldn't finish his work, the maids, though unable to help, would secretly save leftover steamed buns from each meal and then quietly give them to him to eat.
In the pitch-black night, apart from the chirping of insects and birds and the swaying of branches, all was silent.
The servants finished their work early and went to sleep. Apart from the night watchmen, only Chenye was still awake.
He sneaked into Feiyu Pavilion and calmly knocked on the door a few times. No one answered, so he was sure no one was inside. He pushed the door open and closed it, acting as if he were in his own home. He first took some snacks from the table and ate them. About half an hour later, Lian Jingzhi still hadn't returned, so Shen Ye went to his bedroom, closed the door, and relaxed on the soft bed.
Lying on Lian Jingzhi's large bed, Shen Ye absentmindedly played with the jade pendant he had just taken from Lian Jingzhi's study while mentally planning his next steps. Surprisingly, Shen Ye wasn't nervous at all in this environment, as if he already knew exactly what was about to happen.
In short, once the arrow is released, there's no turning back. Once you take this step, there's no going back!
I don't know how much time passed, but finally I heard the sound of a door opening and the sound of conversation outside.
"Your Highness, I have a feeling that something is wrong with that boy. A year ago, I exchanged a few moves with him, and his kung fu was unfathomable. But now he looks so weak and frail, he can't even chop firewood properly. He doesn't seem like a martial artist at all!"
From the bedroom, Chengqian's voice could be heard very clearly; it turned out that they were already suspicious of him!
“According to the steward, he came in second place in this painter selection, which shows that he is quite skilled in painting. But before that, I never knew that Yu Changjun could paint!” Chengqian spoke up again.
Shen Ye strained his ears, wanting to hear what Lian Jingzhi would say next, but after waiting for a long time, Lian Jingzhi didn't say anything. Instead, the sound of a door closing came from outside.
