Chapter 127 Sleeping Together
After putting Xie Tingzhou on the bed, Chen Yu looked down at the man on the bed. He was sleeping very soundly, with all his defenses gone.
"You stole my bed." Chen Yu said.
Another voice in my heart said, "You also stole his bed a few days ago."
She said dissatisfiedly: "You disturb my heart."
But who isn’t messy?
Didn't he expose himself to her?
Chen Yu looked at him, her heart becoming increasingly troubled, and finally she sighed heavily, "Who's afraid of who? It's not like we haven't slept together before."
After saying that, he lifted the quilt, got on the bed, and pushed Xie Tingzhou in.
She waved her sleeves, the lights in the room went out, and the moonlight sneaked in through the cracks in the window.
The room was very quiet, the place in the quilt where he had slept was very warm, and Chen Yu's breathing gradually became calm in the darkness.
In the darkness, Xie Tingzhou slowly opened his eyes, turned sideways, and used his fingers to tidy up her slightly messy hair. His eyes fell on her face and never moved away.
Xie Tingzhou woke up at dawn the next day.
A hangover can easily give you a headache, and you won’t be able to fall asleep when you wake up, but he didn’t get up because there was someone clinging to him, with his legs draped over him and his hands on his waist.
He couldn't remember when he fell asleep last night.
Xie Tingzhou turned his head to look at her. She was sleeping soundly, with her chin pressed tightly against his body, causing her mouth to pout slightly.
Xie Tingzhou curled his lips slightly, raised his hand and suddenly wanted to poke her.
After lying there for an unknown amount of time, Chen Yu showed no signs of waking up. Xie Tingzhou suddenly turned his head and looked out the window with an ambiguous look.
He gently moved her hands and feet away, sat on the edge of the bed for a moment, and then got up to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Lu Yao was stunned. Why did this description sound like the two of them slept together last night?
Xie Tingzhou casually wore a cloak on his shoulders, with a spotless white undergarment underneath, but it was unfortunately wrinkled from sleeping.
He turned around and walked in. Chang Liu, holding a tray, immediately followed him in and put the tray on the table to help Xie Tingzhou change his clothes.
Chang Liu whispered, "The doorman at the East Gate reported that a waiter named Sixi came to see Shi Yu early in the morning and said he had something urgent to do."
Xie Tingzhou asked: "Where are the people?"
Chang Liu said: "We didn't dare to quarrel and let him stay in the gatehouse."
They both spoke very quietly, for fear of disturbing the people in the room.
Xie Tingzhou glanced into the inner room, fastened his belt and went in.
Changliu walked slowly on purpose and pricked up his ears to hear Xie Tingzhou calling "Ayu" in a low voice.
"What time is it?" Chen Yu asked lazily.
"It's almost 9 o'clock."
"Why is it so late?"
"Well, don't sleep anymore, get up and have breakfast."
It was the first time that Chang Liu heard Xie Tingzhou speak in such a gentle voice. When he stepped out of the room, he felt a chill in his mind.
It doesn't seem like Shi Yu's voice is coming from there. Why does it sound like a woman's?
Unfortunately, he was distracted before he had time to think about it, and Lu Yao at the door pulled him back.
"The prince, he, he, he slept with our young master?"
Chang Liu was used to it, "Yeah, it's not the first time."
Lu Yao was horrified, and after a while she murmured, "The young master is amazing. He finally got what she wanted."
Chang Liu got a clue and asked, "You mean Shi Yu has been plotting against our Highness for a long time?"
Lu Yao quickly waved his hands, "No, no."
The long-term student looked at Xie Tingzhou and narrowed his eyes, "No?"
Lu Yao took two steps back, thought about it and realized that she could say it, so she said, "My young master once said that the person she likes is Young Master Lan Yue, and she said it to Minister Jiang."
Chang Liu had a serious expression on his face when he heard Xie Tingzhou say from inside the house, "Go and bring the waiter in."
Si Xi came early in the morning. San Fu was on guard at the inn last night. He came back early this morning and told him that something had happened.
The young master had told him before that he had urgent business to attend to and should go to the east gate of the palace to find Shi Yu, so he hurried over.
The palace was heavily guarded, with a guard every few steps. Si Xi had never seen such a large scene before. The most luxurious residence he had ever been to was the residence of Mr. Liu.
Si Xi was brought in by the guards. He knelt on the ground and dared not raise his head. He could only smell the faint aroma of food in the room.
Chen Yu said: "Get up and talk."
"Okay." Si Xi stood up and secretly raised his eyes. There were two people sitting at the table. He didn't dare to look closely and lowered his eyes. "My brother was on guard at the inn last night. He came back this morning and said that something happened at the inn last night."
Chen Yu didn't ask, waiting for Si Xi to continue.
Si Xi said, "The inn caught fire last night. The fire was in the room where the inn kept things. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and it didn't spread. Only a few things were burned."
Before Chen Yu could grasp the key point of his matter, Si Xi had already taken off the bag on his shoulders and spread it on the ground.
Si Xi continued, "Some people said they saw a figure and that someone had deliberately set the fire, but why did they burn that room? First someone went to look through the baggage, and then the fire started. I wondered if someone had set the fire on that room.
He came back to set the fire because he couldn't find what he was looking for."
Seeing Chen Yu nodded in agreement, Si Xi was delighted.
Since that night when he went to the mass grave, he realized that the young master was not an ordinary person. If he wanted to work for the young master for a long time, he had to let the young master find that he was a useful person.
Everyone can get information, but not everyone has a smart brain.
"So this morning I asked Sanfu to steal those people's bags to see if we can find any clues."
Shen Yu said: "You did a good job."
She glanced at Lu Yao, who understood and stepped forward to give her a reward.
Chen Yu had looked through those bundles last time and didn't find anything special. However, as Si Xi said, someone set the fire on purpose, which meant that what they were looking for was not found. It was either in the bundles or on the old man's body.
Just as Chen Yu was about to get up to check her bag, Xie Tingzhou pulled her back, "Eat your meal first, the food is there, no rush."
Chen Yu sat down to eat again and asked, "Anything else?"
"Yes." Si Xi hesitated, "But..."
Chen Yu: "No buts, just say it."
"Well, okay." Si Xi said, "It's like this. There's a strange thing happening outside the city. The vegetable farmers at Caishikou spread the news this morning. Muqian Village outside the city is closest to the mass grave. Last night everyone smelled a strange smell and saw flames rising from the mass grave."
Si Xi became more and more excited as he spoke: "This morning, some brave people went to see that the bodies in the mass grave were burned. They were burned with kerosene. There were several kerosene barrels on the roadside. The smell that the villagers smelled last night was the smell of burning bodies..."
Shen Yu slowly put down her chopsticks.
Si Xi was confused: "...the taste."
"Get out!" Xie Tingzhou suddenly said coldly.
Si Xi didn't know what he said was wrong, which angered the two masters. He was so scared that he kowtowed and said, "I was wrong, please spare my life, sir."
Chen Yu turned to look at Xie Tingzhou. He was looking at Si Xi with anger, as if a storm was about to come.
"Okay." Chen Yu said, "You go down first."
They had all smelled the smell of burning corpses at Yanliang Pass. After hearing what Si Xi said, it seemed that the mixed smell of rot and burnt smell had not yet dissipated.
Chen Yu picked up the chopsticks again, but was hesitant to move.
Xie Tingzhou took the things from her hand and asked the maid to come in and clean them up.
"If you can't eat, then don't eat. I'll have someone prepare some snacks for you later. What do you want to eat?"
