Shen Yu's eyes fell on Jiang Lianzhi's face, and for a moment, she smiled.
"Keep your fake account book, I'm too lazy to bite this broken bait."
Jiang Lianzhi's pupils shrank and he said without changing his expression: "How do you know that I don't have a real account book in my hand?"
Shen Yu threw the booklet in her hand on the shelf and said, "No need to test me. Since you don't have it, I'll take my leave, Mr. Jiang."
"Do you think you can leave?" Jiang Lianzhi stopped in front of her calmly.
Shen Yu raised her chin slightly, "You should ask yourself, can you stop me?"
Jiang Lianzhi lowered his eyes and saw the red mark on her neck.
He was a man, how could he not understand what it was and how it was caused.
Anger and jealousy surged up. Jiang Linzhi narrowed his eyes and stared at her neck for a moment.
"I really can't stop you, and the guards outside are probably no match for you, so go ahead and I'll take you out."
Shen Yu looked suspicious.
Jiang Lianzhi fell into Jiang Lianzhi's trap last time. Who knows if he has any tricks up his sleeve this time.
Jiang Lianzhi turned his face away, half of it hidden in the dark, cold and gloomy.
He took a few steps.
"Wait." Shen Yu stopped him.
Jiang Lianzhi turned around and was about to speak when something flashed in front of his eyes, flew into his mouth and slid down his throat.
Jiang Lianzhi covered his throat, "What did you feed me?"
"Just make sure you don't cheat. Minister Jiang is very scheming. He got into your trap last time, so I have to strike first this time. Don't worry, I will give you the antidote when you leave the Guanghua Gate."
Hearing this, Jiang Lianzhi's brows relaxed, "I said I won't harm you. Last time, it was within my control. Now it's different in the household department. You don't have to be so vigilant."
He turned to leave, then stopped half-way behind him, "How about we make a bet to see who can find the ledger first."
"What's in it for me?"
Jiang Lianzhi said: "The advantage is that if I find the account book, you can exchange it with something."
Shen Yu sneered and did not answer the question, "Lead the way, Mr. Jiang."
The two of them walked out of the door one after another. The guard at the door was stunned for a moment. It seemed that he didn't see anyone else coming in, but he didn't dare to say anything, fearing that he had neglected his duty and missed it.
Shen Yu returned to the front hall, where Pei Chunli was lying half-lying on a chair, sleeping loudly.
"Little Marquis, little Marquis, it's time to go back."
Pei Chunli responded to her with a purr.
Shen Yu was speechless for a while, then raised her foot and kicked his leg. Pei Chunli was frightened and fell to the ground, causing the melon seed shells to crackle on the ground.
Pei Chunli sat on the ground and wiped his mouth in a daze. He raised his eyes and saw Shen Yu, "Is he healed now?"
Shen Yu nodded.
The clerk helped Pei Chunli get up, "Why did the young marquis fall asleep?"
"Isn't this boring? Where are you adults?"
The clerk replied: "My lord is out there giving instructions. I asked the humble official to send the young marquis out."
Pei Chunli stood up, shook his clothes, and said to Shen Yu in a pretentious manner: "Let's go and take this young prince back to his home."
When the group of people went out, Jiang Lianzhi was at the door of the house. Pei Chunli made some pretentious greetings and then got on the sedan again.
Shen Yu turned back in front of the door.
Before she could speak, Jiang Lianzhi said, "Isn't it the same as the last time I gave it to others? It's not poisonous, right?"
Shen Yu pursed her lips and said, "Of course it's different. It can regulate the stomach."
The medicine won't kill the person, but it won't be a problem to hold him off for three to five days.
Shen Yu turned around and followed the sedan. After leaving the Guanghua Gate, Pei Chunli opened the curtain and poked her head out, "What did he say it's not poisonous?"
Shen Yu: "The tea you drink and the melon seeds you eat are not poisonous."
Pei Chunli was a fool and believed everything he said. He nodded and then lay on the sedan window to chat with Shen Yu.
"How is it? Am I particularly reliable in doing things? I can hold Jiang Lianzhi down just by sleeping."
Shen Yu glanced at him and didn't even bother to talk to him.
The warmer it gets, the later it gets dark.
It was just getting dark after eating and drinking with Pei Chunli.
Today Pei Chunli took her to the Flower House to drink wine and listen to music. Shen Yu was the one who paid the bill. She couldn't let anyone work for her all afternoon.
The white feathers under the eaves were motionless, probably because they were tired from flying today, and they only glanced at people when they entered the hospital.
"Is His Highness back?" Shen Yu stepped into the hospital.
Konoe said: "I'm back, but..."
Shen Yu didn't hear the sound, so she walked straight to the bedroom, raised her hand and knocked on the door.
"Your Highness, it's me."
There was no movement in the room for a long time, and just as he was about to knock again, the side door opened with a creak.
Shen Yu turned around and looked.
There was no light in the room, and Xie Tingzhou stood at the door, his hands just hanging down from the door.
"came back?"
Shen Yu nodded and said happily: "I have gained a little today."
She didn't see Xie Tingzhou's face clearly, but she seemed to hear him laughing very softly.
"come over."
Shen Yu walked over and gradually saw Xie Tingzhou clearly as the distance got closer.
He must have just finished bathing, or was disturbed in the middle of bathing. He was only wearing a large robe, and the belt was tied loosely. The clothes were half open, revealing a small piece of strong chest.
Shen Yu stopped suddenly, "How about I..."
"Come here." Xie Tingzhou interrupted her.
She bit the soft meat in her mouth, walked over slowly, and stopped at the door, "I'll come over later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Tingzhou grabbed her wrist and pulled her in.
The door closed with a clang, and Shen Yu pressed her back against the door, fearing that if she moved forward even an inch, she would be pressed against his body.
Xie Tingzhou slowly lowered his head and approached little by little. The tip of his nose brushed her cheek and asked, "Did you drink outside?"
Shen Yu softly said "hmm" and said honestly, "I asked Pei Chunli for help, so I invited him to have a few drinks."
"Why don't you invite me?"
"You're not here."
Xie Tingzhou's body was still moist, and water droplets were still sliding down his neck. Shen Yu looked away, but he pinched his chin and pulled her back.
"It's too late to please."
He put his lips to hers, and the tip of his tongue poked out the teeth and penetrated, not as harshly as yesterday, but just searching around in her mouth.
After pulling away, he seemed to still have some lingering thoughts and smacked his lips, "It's Ruoxiachun."
Shen Yu raised her head and said in surprise: "You can also taste it?"
A sly smile flashed in Xie Tingzhou's eyes. He stood up and walked behind the screen, "What's your gain today?"
He had already finished taking a bath, but what was interrupted was another unfinished matter, but now that she was here, he could not continue.
Shen Yu found Huozhezi and lit the lamp, "I went to the Ministry of Household Affairs today."
Xie Tingzhou stopped dressing, then turned his head and asked, "Did you ask Pei Chunli to take you there?"
"Um."
"You're so ridiculous!" Xie Tingzhou scolded, looking at the figure reflected on the screen and said, "What if someone discovers you, or if Jiang Lianzhi takes the order to arrest you, what should you do?"
Shen Yu knew that she had caused trouble the last time she entered the palace, causing Xie Tingzhou to be reprimanded and grounded.
In fact, before going out today, she had thought that there were no experts in the household department to catch her. Moreover, she was wary of Jiang Lianzhi and would not fall into his trap as easily as last time.
"I'm sure this time, and I'm coming back well, haven't I?" Shen Yu said.
Xie Tingzhou remained silent for a long time behind the screen, and no one came out.
Shen Yu tried and said, "You are angry."
"Shouldn't I be angry?" Xie Tingzhou asked, "If you had your own safety at heart, you wouldn't do such a risky thing."
"That's how I am." Shen Yu was not happy either.
"If, like you said, you have to be absolutely sure before you can act, then I wouldn't have embarked on this path in the first place."
It was quiet again behind the screen, so quiet that it was annoying.
Shen Yu bit her lower lip and waited for a moment, then turned and walked towards the door.
