Shen Yu found the nearest teahouse on Yongning Street and waited for more than two hours.
Clang——
Xiao Chuan entered the box and closed the door, "Finally caught him."
Shen Yu poured him tea, "It's been so long."
"The stupid Marquis Xuanping is really cunning." Xiao Chuan removed the knife and put it on the table. He raised his head and drank a cup of tea. Still feeling thirsty, he poured himself another cup.
"Marquis Xuanping leaves first. I have been waiting for two hours. If I don't have any patience, I will let him run away."
"Where are the people?" Shen Yu asked.
"Bring them back to the Bingma Division." Xiao Chuan said, "I deliberately didn't attack at the door. I followed them quietly and only took action when they were about to silence them. Guess what?"
Xiao Chuan said with some excitement, "The old man recruited him before he returned to the Army and Horses Division. Today, Marquis Xuanping asked him to go to the Ministry of Punishments to put pressure on Gui Xiong and threaten the lives of those people on the mountain. Fortunately, you had expected it. Move all the people away, otherwise Guixiong might betray him with so many lives on his shoulders."
Shen Yu pondered for a moment, "Marquis Xuanping can't escape."
Xiao Chuan said: "He is involved in the grain draft and should be involved in a case. I believe that soon the Ministry of Punishment will go to our five cities to recruit soldiers."
Shen Yu took a look at the sky and then stood up, "Thank you for today's matter. If you have anything I can help with in the future, please let me know."
After leaving the teahouse, Shen Yu returned to the palace.
After the move was completed, Shen Yu's things had been moved into Qingpu House, and there was only a wall between their bedrooms.
Hearing that Xie Tingzhou was in the study, Shen Yu went to find him.
"Xiao Chuan has already detained the old man in the Wucheng Army and Horse Division." Shen Yu said as she entered the door: "He is willing to identify Marquis Xuan Ping."
Xie Tingzhou looked at her.
Shen Yu didn't notice his look and said, "Xuanpinghou is the prince's uncle, and this matter has nothing to do with the prince."
Xie Tingzhou put down the book in his hand, "Do you regret saving the prince?"
"I don't regret it." Shen Yu said: "Whatever he did, he deserves to be punished. If justice is not achieved, I don't mind killing him with my own hands to avenge my father."
Xie Tingzhou said: "We have the direction, but first there is a lack of evidence. The evidence from the grain draft can only point to Marquis Xuanping. There is no solid evidence to prove that the prince is the mastermind behind it. How could Emperor Tongxu touch the prince so easily."
Shen Yu's eyes were fixed in one place, "You mean, if Marquis Xuanping takes all the blame for himself, he will not be able to touch the prince."
Xie Tingzhou nodded, "And now everything is our inference. Even if we know that Marquis Xuanping has a big problem, we have to wait for the Ministry of Punishments to review it before we can draw a conclusion."
He walked to Shen Yu and stopped, placing two fingers between her eyebrows and rubbing them.
"Don't think about it, there are only two outcomes. If Marquis Xuanping identifies the prince, the prince will be punished for his crime. If Marquis Xuanping doesn't identify him, you will personally execute him."
Shen Yu suddenly became enlightened.
With the direction, the person behind it will die no matter what.
Xie Tingzhou said: "Now, let's talk about other things."
"What did you say?" Shen Yu raised her head.
There was a thick stack of books on the desk. Xie Tingzhou took down the top one, looked at the cover and asked, "Have you read the Three Character Classic?"
"Of course I've seen it, what's wrong?"
Xie Tingzhou took down another book, "Where's the Book of Documents?"
Shen Yu looked confused, "Have you seen part of it? What's wrong?"
Xie Tingzhou waved her over, pulled her into his arms from behind, and spread the book in front of her.
"Then tell me, does it look good?"
The explicit pictures in the book were revealed in her eyes. Shen Yu froze, staring at the pictures for a long time and forgetting to react.
Xie Tingzhou leaned against her ear, turned another page, and asked in a soft tone: "Hmm? Does it look good?"
Shen Yu swallowed and tried to take the book out of his hand, "It's okay."
"It's not bad." Xie Tingzhou said slowly, "Then have you seen better ones?"
Shen Yu: "No."
A few months ago, Pei Chunli climbed over the wall to find her and threw a bag of "good things" at her. Shen Yu had no place to hide it, so she simply mixed it in the bookshelf in the study. As a result, as time went by, she told her about it. forget.
Moving today, she really didn't expect to be found out.
"Pei Chunli gave it to me. I put it in the study and forgot about it."
Xie Tingzhou held her waist, "Didn't you say you had seen it?"
Shen Yu explained: "The ones I read are the serious "Three Character Classic" and "Shang Shu", not this kind of Chun|Gong selling dog meat in sheep's clothing! I will have someone return it to Pei Chunli tomorrow."
"No need to return it." Xie Tingzhou said, "Two copies are missing."
"Huh?" Shen Yu looked sideways at him.
"Li Jifeng took away two books." Xie Tingzhou said: "Do you know what Li Jifeng's reaction was when he pulled out the Palace of Spring from the bookshelf?"
He held her waist and turned her around, looked at her and said, "He asked me if I had tried this with you."
Shen Yu's face suddenly turned red.
Xie Tingzhou moved his fingers across her ear and neck, leaned over and said, "Keep it, I'll try it out eventually."
……
After the Beginning of Summer, the sun rises earlier and earlier.
When I went to court at Mao hour, it was already bright.
All the civil and military officials were waiting outside the Fengtian Palace, and they were all curious about the new nobleman in Shengjing under the eaves.
Shen Yu stood under the eaves of Fengtian Palace and looked at the civil and military officials outside the palace. For the first time, she felt that she was so close to the center of power of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The officials did not dare to make loud noises, some of them had nothing to do with themselves, and some of them whispered.
Jiang Lianzhi looked at Shen Yu.
She wore a green python robe with brocade cloud shoulders. Different from the wide sleeves of civil and military officials, her cuffs were neatly collected. The belt tied her waist very beautifully. The sword on her waist was particularly dazzling in the morning light. .
His understanding of her seemed to remain in the soft and forbearing memory of her previous life.
Jiang Lianzhi was in a daze for a moment.
Is this still the Ayu he knew? The person he slept with for three years.
Suddenly, there was a small noise among the officials.
Jiang Lianzhi turned around and saw Xie Tingzhou, dressed in red official uniform, walking slowly. When he reached the front of the palace, he suddenly looked up and saw Shen Yu's position.
All the officials knew that Du Yuhou Shigure, who was appointed by His Majesty, changed his master three times, and the previous master was the Beilin Crown Prince in front of him.
Everyone was quite curious as to whether Prince Beilin had successfully placed someone beside Emperor Tongxu, or whether Shi Yu had turned his back on his master and defected to someone else.
Xie Tingzhou looked at her, but Shi Yu didn't react at all. He only glanced at Xie Tingzhou for the first time and then looked away.
The look between his brows and eyes was very indifferent, and the quick glance was extremely arrogant, with a hint of contempt.
All the officials saw this and exchanged glances tacitly.
Except for Xie Tingzhou, no one knew what that glance was about.
The two of them slept on the same bed last night, and nothing happened. Xie Tingzhou endured it all night, but when she got up, he still couldn't hold it in. He hugged her and kissed her until her cheeks turned red, almost causing her to miss the moment.
Xie Tingzhou looked away and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly. He particularly liked her arrogant and frivolous appearance.
