Chapter 169 Does It Look Good?

Shen Yu found the nearest teahouse on Yongning Street and waited for more than two hours.

Bang---

Xiao Chuan entered the private room and closed the door, "Finally caught him."

Shen Yu poured him tea, "It took so long."

"The damn Xuanping Marquis is really cunning." Xiao Chuan unloaded the knife and put it on the table, raised his head and drank a cup of tea. He still felt thirsty, so he poured himself another cup.

"Xuanping Marquis left first, I waited for two hours, if I didn't have some patience, he would have run away."

"Where is he?" Shen Yu asked.

"Took him back to the military headquarters." Xiao Chuan said, "I deliberately didn't start at the door, and quietly followed him all the way. I started when they were about to kill him. Guess what?"

Xiao Chuan said excitedly, "The old man confessed before he returned to the military headquarters. Today, Xuanping Hou asked him to go to the Ministry of Justice to put pressure on Gui Xiong and use the lives of those people on the mountain as a threat. Fortunately, you had expected it and moved all the people away. Otherwise, Gui Xiong might turn against us with so many lives on his shoulders."

Shen Yu pondered for a moment, "Xuanping Hou can't run away."

Xiao Chuan said, "He is involved in the grain bill, and it should be combined into one case. I believe that the Ministry of Justice will go to our Wucheng Military Headquarters to pick him up soon."

Shen Yu looked at the sky and stood up, "Thank you for today's matter. If there is anything I can help you with in the future, please let me know."

Leaving the teahouse, Shen Yu returned to the palace.

After moving, Shen Yu's things had been moved into Qingpu Residence. The two bedrooms were only separated by a wall.

Hearing that Xie Tingzhou was in the study, Shen Yu went straight to find him.

"Xiao Chuan has detained the old man in the Wucheng Bingma Division." Shen Yu said as she entered the room: "He is willing to identify Xuanping Hou."

Xie Tingzhou looked at her.

Shen Yu didn't notice his look and said, "Marquis Xuanping is the prince's uncle, and the prince is closely related to this matter."

Xie Tingzhou put down the book in his hand, "Do you regret saving the prince?"

"No regrets." Shen Yu said, "He deserves the punishment for what he did. If justice is not served, I don't mind killing him myself to avenge my father."

Xie Tingzhou said, "We have a direction, but we lack evidence. The evidence in the grain bill can only point to Marquis Xuanping. There is no concrete evidence to prove that the prince is the mastermind behind it. How can Emperor Tongxu easily move the prince?"

Shen Yu's eyes fixed on one place, "You mean, if Marquis Xuanping takes all the blame himself, then the prince can't be moved."

Xie Tingzhou nodded, "And now everything is our inference. Even if we know that Marquis Xuanping has a big problem, we have to wait until the Ministry of Justice reviews it before we can draw a conclusion."

He walked in front of Shen Yu and stopped, pressing two fingers on her forehead and rubbing it.

"Don't think about it. There are only two possible outcomes. If Marquis Xuanping points out the prince, the prince will be executed for his crime. If Marquis Xuanping doesn't point out the prince, you will kill him yourself."

Shen Yu suddenly realized.

With a direction, the person behind the scenes must die no matter what.

Xie Tingzhou said: "Now, let's talk about other things."

"What?" Shen Yu raised her head.

There was a thick stack of books on the desk. Xie Tingzhou took the top one, glanced at the cover and asked: "Have you read "Three Character Classic"?"

"Of course I have, what's wrong?"

Xie Tingzhou took another book, "What about "Book of Shang"?"

Shen Yu looked puzzled, "I have read part of it, what's wrong?"

Xie Tingzhou waved her over, pulled her from behind and put her in his arms, and spread the book in front of her.

"Then tell me, is it good-looking?"

The explicit pictures in the book were revealed to her eyes. Shen Yu froze and stared at the pictures for a long time without reacting.

Xie Tingzhou leaned close to her ear, turned another page, and asked softly: "Hmm? Is it good?"

Shen Yu swallowed her saliva and wanted to take the book from his hand, "It's, it's okay."

"It's okay." Xie Tingzhou said slowly: "Have you seen better ones?"

Shen Yu: "No."

A few months ago, Pei Chunli climbed over the wall to find her and threw her a bundle of "good things". Shen Yu had no place to hide it, so she simply mixed it in the bookshelf in the study. As a result, she forgot about it after a long time.

Moving today, she really didn't expect it to be found.

"It was given to me by Pei Chunli. I put it in the study and forgot about it."

Xie Tingzhou put his arm around her waist, "Didn't you say you've read it?"

Shen Yu explained, "What I read were the serious "Three Character Classic" and "Book of History", not this kind of erotic book! I'll have someone return it to Pei Chunli tomorrow."

"No need to return it." Xie Tingzhou said, "Two books are missing."

"Huh?" Shen Yu looked at him sideways.

"Li Jifeng took two books away." Xie Tingzhou said, "Do you know what Li Jifeng's reaction was when he found the erotic book from the bookshelf?"

He held her waist and turned around, looking at her and said, "He asked me if I had tried this one with you."

Shen Yu's face flushed.

Xie Tingzhou ran his fingers across her neck under her ear, leaned over and said, "Keep it, you'll always try it out."

...

After the beginning of summer, the sun rose earlier and earlier.

The court was opened at dawn at the hour of Mao.

Civil and military officials were waiting outside the Fengtian Palace, all of them were full of curiosity about the new nobleman in Shengjing under the eaves.

Shen Yu stood under the eaves of the Fengtian Palace, looking at the civil and military officials outside the palace. For the first time, she felt that she was so close to the power center of the Great Zhou.

The officials did not dare to make loud noises. Some of them did not care about the matter, and some whispered.

Jiang Lianzhi looked at Shen Yu.

She was wearing a green python robe with brocade shoulders. Unlike the wide sleeves of the civil and military officials, her cuffs were neatly gathered, and the belt tied her waist beautifully. The sword on her waist was particularly dazzling in the morning light.

His understanding of her seemed to still remain in the soft and forbearing memory of her previous life.

Jiang Lianzhi was in a trance for a moment.

Is this still the A-Yu he knew? The one who had slept with him for three years.

Suddenly, a small noise sounded among the officials.

Jiang Lianzhi turned his head and saw Xie Tingzhou in a red official uniform, walking slowly. When he walked to the front of the hall, he suddenly looked up and saw Shen Yu's position.

All officials knew that Shi Yu, the Du Yu Hou appointed by His Majesty, had changed his master three times, and the previous master was the Beilin Prince in front of him.

Everyone was quite curious whether the Beilin Prince had successfully placed someone next to Emperor Tongxu, or whether Shi Yu betrayed his master and defected to another place.

Xie Tingzhou kept looking at her, but Shi Yu didn't react. She only glanced at her slightly when Xie Tingzhou looked at her for the first time and then looked away.

Her eyebrows were very indifferent, and the quick glance was extremely arrogant, with a hint of contempt.

All the officials saw it and exchanged glances tacitly.

Except Xie Tingzhou, no one knew why that glance was.

Last night, the two of them slept on the same bed, and nothing happened. Xie Tingzhou endured it all night, but when she got up, he couldn't help it. He hugged her and kissed her cheeks until they were red, almost making her miss the time.

Xie Tingzhou retracted his gaze, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. He actually liked her arrogant and frivolous look.
