Chapter 110 Caught on the Spot
Feeling the breath on her cheek, Shen Yu tilted her head back a little, stared into his eyes and asked: "What's wrong with you today?"
Xie Tingzhou was stunned. Chen Yu had already raised her hand to cover his forehead, and then touched her own forehead.
He murmured, "Why does it seem like I'm the one who's on fire, but your brain is damaged?"
Xie Tingzhou: “…”
He stepped back a little and listened for a moment. He heard the voices of Changliu and the doctor talking outside.
He raised his voice and said, "Let the doctor come in and take your pulse."
The bed curtains were lowered again, and Chen Yu stretched out her hand from under the curtains for the doctor to feel her pulse.
The gauze curtain was half transparent, and she stared at the figure of Xie Tingzhou on the curtain in a trance.
In fact, just now, she couldn't control her heartbeat for a moment, and it took her a lot of effort to calm herself down.
He has been in a high position since birth, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has plenty of time and energy to satisfy his whims, but she still has too much to do.
"It's good that the internal fire has been burned out. Judging from the pulse, it's better now. But you still need to be careful in the future. Don't be exposed to the wind in the next few days, so as not to let the wind evil enter your body and make a comeback. Are you still feeling unwell?"
Chen Yu was brought back to her senses by the doctor's words and said, "No, I just feel a little tired in my muscles and bones."
"That shouldn't be the case," the doctor frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "This symptom is a bit strange."
"Not surprising." Xie Tingzhou said indifferently, "She can't stop. She gets tired if she doesn't exercise for a day."
Through the tent, Chen Yu glared at him fiercely, not knowing whether Xie Tingzhou had noticed it or not.
The doctor also smiled, stood up and said, "You have just recovered from your illness, so you still need to take it step by step. I will prescribe a few more medicines for you to recuperate."
As soon as the doctor left, Chen Yu said she wanted to go back to Lumingxuan.
She occupied Xie Tingzhou's bed and didn't dare to ask where he had slept these days.
Xie Tingzhou didn't keep her, but asked her to go to his study after she washed up.
Chen Yu changed her clothes and tied her hair up again. She looked more energetic, but her complexion was still not very good.
When I walked out of Xie Tingzhou's bedroom, I saw Changliu picking ants under a tree.
Chen Yu waved and asked Chang Liu to come over.
"What?" Chang Liu raised his head, his face full of resentment, like a child who was not loved by anyone.
Chen Yu walked over and squatted beside him, handing him a plate of snacks that she had specially taken out.
Changliu looked at it, swallowed, and didn't answer it.
"Isn't this your favorite food?"
"Do you have any conspiracy?" Changliu asked.
Shen Yu touched his head and said, "Who said you fell out of favor? Everyone loves you, and I love you too."
Chang Liu then curled his lips and took it. Looking at Chen Yu's back as she stood up and left, he suddenly realized that Shi Yu was only one year older than him, so why did he treat him like a child?
So he shouted from behind: "Shi Yu, you are taking advantage of me."
Chen Yu stepped into Xie Tingzhou's study. She had been here many times and was not unfamiliar with it.
Xie Tingzhou was standing behind the desk. Hearing the voice, he looked up at her, then lowered his eyes, "Come and take a look."
Chen Yu walked over. There was a portrait on the table. It was not clear when it was turned upside down, so she walked around to Xie Tingzhou's side.
"Who is this?"
Xie Tingzhou looked at the portrait and said, "The old man that Sanfu mentioned was painted by an artist based on Sanfu's description."
Three of the four people who came from Qichang Prefecture died, leaving only an old man who is missing. There must be something wrong with that old man, and he might be a breakthrough.
Chen Yu stared at the portrait for a long while, then shook her head and said, "I haven't seen it, but I can ask the guys at Lu's shop to recognize it."
Xie Tingzhou nodded.
Lu had shops all over Da Zhou, and her eyes were everywhere, which made things a lot more convenient.
…
Chen Yu wanted to move back to Lumingxuan, but the one who objected the most was actually Zhong Bo.
After much persuasion failed, he forced a few maids into her life.
Chen Yu didn't want any of them. Now that Lu Yao is back, Lu Yao and Er Ya are enough. Besides, it would be inconvenient to have too many people.
The sun sets and the sky gradually darkens.
Luyao and Erya both went to sleep.
When the gong sounded for the third time, Chen Yu got up from the bed, took out a nightgown from the back of the closet and put it on.
He had daggers hidden around his waist and in his boots, and drugs in his purse for emergencies.
After taking care of everything and making sure that nothing was left behind, Chen Yu opened the window and jumped onto the eaves.
She already knew exactly when there would be someone on duty in the palace and when the shifts would change.
Wearing night clothes, he blended into the night like a ghost. In a few moves, he avoided the night watchmen and climbed out of the palace.
"Your Highness's guess is too accurate. Shi Yu really came out from here."
Chen Yu was just crossing the wall when she suddenly heard these words and almost lost her balance when she landed.
She leaned against the wall and looked into the dark alley, where there were shadowy figures and then lights came on.
The guards were lined up in a row. There were more than a dozen of them. They all had stern looks and looked like they were here to catch a thief.
Xie Tingzhou stood in the middle, wearing a dark blue robe. The cloud patterns on the edge of the robe were shining under the reflection of the lanterns. He was truly peerless and independent.
But Chen Yu had no mood to appreciate it at the moment.
She wondered how she was so unlucky to be caught red-handed by Xie Tingzhou, and also thought that the palace was so big, how did he guess that she was going to come out from here.
Could it be that he was the worm in her stomach?
Xie Tingzhou stared at her intently. After a while, he took a step forward.
Chen Yu was like facing a formidable enemy, and took the initiative before he could speak, "You don't need to persuade me, Ge Liangji will be executed tomorrow, I have to go this time, if I use all my strength, these brothers may not be able to stop me."
Xie Tingzhou looked worried, "Do you think Ge Liangji will speak? He insisted on his death during the trial, so how could he speak easily?"
"You have to give it a try," Chen Yu said seriously, "You won't regret it if you give it a try."
She was the type of person who would not turn back until she hit the wall. Xie Tingzhou knew that even if Ge Liangji didn't say anything, she had tried her best. But if she didn't go, she would always be thinking about him.
Just like he had told her, just have a clear conscience.
Xie Tingzhou sighed lightly and stopped when he walked in front of her.
"How are you going to go?" He said in a deep voice, "Breaking into the Dali Temple at night, you know where Ge Liangji is being held, how many people did the Dali Temple send for this?"
Chen Yu said: "Let's give it a try. I have a way to get out of this unscathed."
Xie Tingzhou's jaw tightened, "What method?"
Chen Yu said nothing.
Xie Tingzhou took a deep breath and lowered his voice, "When will you...learn to trust me?"
Chen Yu suddenly looked up. He was standing with his back to the light. Chen Yu couldn't see his expression clearly, but she could tell that he was very angry, even helpless, and lost.
Chen Yu bit her lower lip, her mind was still calm, "It's getting late, I have to go early, let's...let's talk about it when we come back, okay?"
She finally gave in and begged him to discuss it with her.
Xie Tingzhou lowered his eyes and glanced at her. A carriage came rumbling in the darkness.
