Chapter 165 The Crown Prince's Wife

Chang Liu knew that he had done something wrong before, and had been waiting outside the courtyard to admit his mistake.

After the maid served the dishes, he walked slowly to the door and knelt down under the eaves.

Xie Tingzhou was serving soup to Shen Yu, and after serving it, he put it in front of Shen Yu, and then glanced sideways.

"What's the matter?"

Chang Liu knelt straight, "Your Highness, I was wrong. I shouldn't have eavesdropped on the conversation between the prince and Lord Shi, nor should I have fallen from the eaves, and I shouldn't have looked into the window."

Shen Yu turned around silently with the bowl in her hand, with her back to the door.

Xie Tingzhou knew that she was embarrassed.

"Go kneel outside the courtyard." Xie Tingzhou said, "Kneel for a full hour."

"Oh." Changliu stood up and just took two steps, he heard Xie Tingzhou ask, "Where is Zhongbo?"

"Maybe he went to see Doctor Yu." Changliu stopped, "It seems that he asked Doctor Yu to come and check the pulse of the prince tomorrow."

Xie Tingzhou: "I'm not sick, why should I check the pulse?"

Changliu scratched his head in confusion and said honestly, "I don't know either. Zhongbo only said that less than half an hour is not a good sign. The prince may have injured his foundation in the early years. It's a bit too fast, and he needs to be supplemented."

Shen Yu spit out some soup with a puff, and hurriedly wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.

Xie Tingzhou almost broke the chopsticks and said to Changliu, "Go kneel for two hours."

Changliu was miserable, "Why?! Wasn't it still one hour just now?"

"You also said it was just now."

Changliu walked away mumbling.

Xie Tingzhou looked at Shen Yu, "You seem to know a lot?"

Shen Yu pretended not to know, and said innocently with a pair of big eyes: "What do you know? I don't know."

"Then what are you spraying?"

"Is it too hot?" Shen Yu said confidently, "You didn't even blow it for me before serving the soup."

Xie Tingzhou laughed, took the bowl and blew it to cool it down before putting it in front of her.

He looked at her deeply, "I'm going to see my father-in-law tomorrow, and I'll move back and move to Qingpuju."

This is something he mentioned a long time ago, but it was delayed by the spring search and the suppression of bandits.

But Shen Yu forgot to tell him something. She just took the job of the Palace Front Department, and she might have to stay in the palace often in the future.

Besides, with her current status as the Palace Front Department, it would not be good if she got too close to Xie Tingzhou, and someone would definitely make a fuss about it.

"I may not be able to live in the palace in the future." Shen Yu said hesitantly.

Xie Tingzhou also thought of it.

He lowered his eyes, but said something that had nothing to do with it, "Is it because of what I just said that scared you?"

Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained, "No, no, it's just inconvenient."

Xie Tingzhou leaned back in his chair, half-drooping his eyelids and looking a little lost, "An excuse, you are still afraid of me, afraid that I will poison you one day."

Seeing his lonely face, Shen Yu hurriedly put down the bowl and walked in front of him, "I'm really not afraid."

"Really?" Xie Tingzhou looked up at her.

"Yeah." Shen Yu reached out and touched his face, "I'm not afraid, I just feel sorry for you."

Xie Tingzhou closed his eyes, tilted his head and rubbed her palm, "Then how is the prince's wife going to feel sorry for me?"

This question stumped Shen Yu.

Xie Tingzhou held her hand and pulled her to sit on his lap, "If you feel sorry for me, come back to accompany me more often."

"But it's inconvenient." Shen Yu said in embarrassment: "Ordinarily, I should buy a house outside."

Xie Tingzhou thought for a while and said: "Buy the house, I'll let Xifeng do it, just pretend, you can come back to live at night."

Shen Yu thought for a while, curled her lips and said: "Why does it sound a bit like..."

"Like cheating?" Xie Tingzhou raised his eyebrows, his eyes were very seductive, "Yes, if it doesn't work openly, we can only come secretly, otherwise what should I do? Or I will go to you at night?"

It's really more and more ambiguous.

Shen Yu pushed his chest, "We'll see when the time comes."

Xie Tingzhou hugged her tightly, "When you enter the palace, I can't hug you even if I want to, so just eat like this."

"How do you eat this?"

"I feed you?"

"No."

Xie Tingzhou finally put her down.

The two sat opposite each other for dinner, and Shen Yu told the news she got from Qi Chang.

Before, he was worried about the letter being lost on the road, so he only said that it went smoothly, and did not mention the evidence, but Xie Tingzhou had guessed it long ago.

Shen Yu said solemnly: "The journey back to Beijing was too smooth, so smooth..."

"So smooth that it seemed that someone was waiting for them to enter Beijing on purpose." Xie Tingzhou continued her words.

Shen Yu nodded and said: "I thought they would take action last night, but they didn't."

Xie Tingzhou was puzzled, "I went to the Jiaofangsi several times, and the account book was not in Fuying's hands."

Shen Yu frowned, "But it stands to reason that it is safest for Ge Liangji to give the account book to them. If he gave it to his exiled son, he would die on the road and no one would know."

"You also said 'them'."

"Are you referring to Fu Yao?" Shen Yu glanced sideways, "Her personality seems unreliable."

Xie Tingzhou said: "If you think so, then Ge Liangji did not choose the wrong person."

Shen Yu was enlightened by Xie Tingzhou. The more unreliable a person looks, the less likely he is to arouse suspicion. It seems that she has to find an opportunity to go to the Jiaofangsi.

"Today I have reported the matter of grain and grass to Emperor Tongxu, and he has ordered a strict investigation. I am worried that he will take it lightly, so I only handed over half of the evidence and kept half of the account book."

"Emperor Tongxu is still too indecisive." Xie Tingzhou said: "People tend to be soft-hearted when they get old, and he can't be cruel to his own son."

"Then force him to do it."

Xie Tingzhou looked at her, "If he doesn't deal with it strictly this time, are you still going to incite the students of the Imperial College to force him?"

"No." Shen Yu put down her chopsticks, her eyes flashed, "I will kill him."

Xie Tingzhou looked at her for a long time, and suddenly smiled, "The Crown Prince's Consort is so strong."

Shen Yu glanced at him, "We have to avoid suspicion in the future, you can't look at me with such eyes."

Xie Tingzhou leaned closer with his elbows on the table, and asked faintly: "What kind of eyes?"

There was bewitching in his eyes, as if he wanted to strip her.

How did he become this bewitching look? Shen Yu thought.

"It's the eyes you have now."

Xie Tingzhou stared at her for a long time, "My eyes are what I want to do."

Shen Yu also understood that since he found out that she was a girl, she could no longer be thick-skinned. To deal with people like Xie Tingzhou, she had to be thicker-skinned than him.

She glanced at him lightly, "During the time I was away from the capital, you went to the Music Bureau a lot. I wonder if those prostitutes have seen the look in His Highness's eyes?"

The words "His Highness" sounded like a warning to Xie Tingzhou.

He was silent for a moment, like a snake being held at the edge.

"Come here." He said loudly, "Remove."

The maid came in, removed the leftovers on the table, and put hot tea on the table again.

During this period, Shen Yu leaned back in her chair and looked at him, and the two looked at each other across the busy maids.

Xie Tingzhou knew that calling the maid in was just a delay, and he had to explain the problem of the Music Bureau even if he didn't want to.

When the maid was about to leave, Xie Tingzhou said again, "Prepare the bath."

Shen Yu turned her face away to suppress her smile, stood up and said, "Since His Highness wants to take a bath, I will leave."

Xie Tingzhou grabbed her hand, "Why don't we go together?"

The maid didn't dare to look up at the two of them, and closed the door when she left.
