Chapter 101: Pressing Forward
Pei Chunli waved to the attendants below, "Hurry up, hurry up, give me the things."
He put a bundle on the courtyard wall with great effort, took a breath and said, "Don't say that brothers don't think of you when they have good things to do. I didn't lend it to others even after I saw it, and I was thinking of you."
Chen Yu stretched out a hand, "What is this big bag of things?"
Pei Chunli gave her a wicked smile in response, "Good stuff, there are many rare copies."
Chen Yu didn't expect Pei Chunli to be a well-read person. "I don't have that much time to read."
Pei Chunli didn't bother to care, "Go on."
Seeing Chen Yu stretch out a hand, Pei Chunli said "tsk", and then said: "Two."
Chen Yu sighed, bit the fruit in her mouth, and spread out her hands.
As soon as she picked up the bag, Chen Yu realized how heavy it was.
Pei Chunli winked at her and said, "Keep it and take a look at it slowly. They are all treasures."
After Pei Chunli's head shrank from the wall, Shen Yu put the bundle on the stone table, opened it and took out a book from it.
As soon as she opened a page, she closed it instantly as if she had seen something terrible.
After calming down a bit, Shen Yu opened it again. After confirming that she had read it correctly, she opened another one.
That's right, that bastard Pei Chunli actually brought her a whole bag of pornographic pictures.
Chen Yu had the urge to set him on fire on the spot.
But thinking of Pei Chunli's precious look, she endured it, tied up the bundle, turned around, and was immediately startled.
Xie Tingzhou had stood behind her without her knowing.
"When did you come?" Chen Yu wanted to say this.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the fruit in his mouth fell out.
Xie Tingzhou quickly reached out to take it, his eyes falling on the bag in her hand.
"Just brought me a few books." Chen Yu said unnaturally.
"I didn't ask." Xie Tingzhou glanced at the fruit in his hand, which had two neat rows of teeth marks on it, and asked her, "Do you want to eat more?"
Shen Yu shook her head.
Xie Tingzhou threw it to Da Huang, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands. Chen Yu clearly saw water on his palms. There was only one possibility, that was her saliva.
For some reason, the image that flashed across the book just now appeared in my mind, and I felt my cheeks turn red.
As if being ignited by fire.
Xie Tingzhou glanced at the red tips of her ears. Knowing how thick-skinned she was, blushing shouldn't happen to her easily.
Chen Yu leaned sideways uncomfortably, hugged the bag in her arms tightly and ran to the study.
Lumingxuan was originally a courtyard used to receive guests, so it is fully equipped with a study, bathroom, small hall and side hall.
Shen Yu walked in and looked around, wondering where to hide such a big bag.
The study is the best place, and Erya doesn't dare to rummage around when she is cleaning.
She thought for a moment, opened the bag and put the casual books in between the serious books so that they could not be seen from the outside. Then she clapped her hands and went out.
Xie Tingzhou did not leave, but stayed in the yard playing with the dog.
Chen Yu stood at the door for a moment, and as if sensing something, Xie Tingzhou turned around.
"Your Highness, is there something that brought you here specially?" Shen Yu walked over.
Since returning that night, neither of them has mentioned the ambiguity and charm of that night, as if no one had noticed the unintentional touch.
Erya brought tea, and Xie Tingzhou waved his hand. After Erya walked away, he said, "The Yanliang Pass case has been delayed for too long. The students of the Imperial College can no longer sit still. They knelt outside Chengtian Gate early this morning to invite us. There are also students from poor families kneeling outside the palace gate, and they have not left yet."
"Under pressure, Emperor Tongxu will certainly order the three courts to make a quick judgment, but the specific judgment will depend on Emperor Tongxu's intention, and it should be within the next few days."
Chen Yu said thoughtfully: "This case should not be delayed any further, otherwise how can the hundred thousand heroic spirits rest in peace."
Xie Tingzhou's gaze deepened, and he suddenly raised his eyes to look at Chen Yu, "You did it, right?"
He almost said it in an affirmative tone.
Shen Yu pretended not to know, "What does your highness mean?"
Xie Tingzhou opened his thin lips slightly, and just as he was about to speak, he exhaled again, stood up and said, "Follow me."
The two walked to Lu Mingxuan's study.
Chen Yu closed the door consciously, exhaled lightly, and stood at the door without moving.
Xie Tingzhou hadn't been to this place for many years. He glanced at the paintings on the wall.
"As an emperor, the last thing I can tolerate is someone who thinks he is smart and overrides the imperial power. How can an emperor allow himself to be led by the nose by others?"
Shen Yu was silent. At this moment, she suddenly didn't want to argue.
Xie Tingzhou turned around and looked at her. "Stop talking? Isn't it a beautiful arrangement? First, go to Bashan Academy to participate in the Spring Poetry Festival to stir up the poor students. Once the poor students start a rebellion, how can the Imperial College sit still?"
"You have a good plan." His eyes were slightly cold, and he walked closer to her step by step, "Should I say you are smart or stupid? You let them be the first to take action, forcing the emperor to lose face. Do you think Emperor Tongxu can't see that someone is stirring up trouble?"
"When did you... figure it out?" Chen Yu asked in a hoarse voice.
"today."
Xie Tingzhou had felt it was strange before that she had gone to Bashan Academy three times in a row. He originally thought that there were old friends of hers in the academy. It was not until today when the students from the academy and the Imperial College took action together that he guessed that she played a crucial role in the middle.
He really underestimated her. She knew how to use people well and could create such a big commotion by herself.
Xie Tingzhou was already standing in front of her, with a sharp gleam in his slightly restrained eyes.
He asked: "If it is found out about you, how will you deal with it?"
Chen Yu was trapped in a cramped space by him, and when she looked up she could smell his scent.
She turned away and said, "I am very cautious. They won't find out about me. Even if they do, I won't implicate you. Then you can push me out and say that I deceived you."
Xie Tingzhou's breathing suddenly became heavy, his jaw was clenched, and he was so angry at her words that his temples were throbbing with pain.
Did she think that what he cared about was whether he would be implicated?
"Chen Yu." He pinched her face and turned her around, meeting his eyes.
"Do you think I'm afraid of being implicated by you? Even if I did this, Emperor Tongxu would not dare to touch me, but he will touch you!" He suddenly raised his voice.
Shen Yu's eyes were suddenly burned by what was in his eyes.
Her palm was pressed against the door behind her, her fingers curled up, her nails making slight scratching sounds on the door.
"You're nervous." Xie Tingzhou pressed on, "What are you nervous about?"
That night under the beautiful moon, they understood each other tacitly and said nothing to each other.
But today, things suddenly got a little out of control.
Chen Yu swallowed her saliva and said, "If you can find out that I'm nervous, then others may find out too."
Xie Tingzhou let her go, "Are you scared now?"
He twisted his fingertips under his sleeves, and the delicate and smooth touch lingered for a long time.
