Chapter 179 Conspiracy
Chen Yu tilted her head to look at him, not knowing how to start.
He did this on purpose, asking this on purpose. Shen Yu thought so in her heart, and her hands loosened.
Xie Tingzhou grabbed her hand and asked in a bad tone, "Am I not worthy of being seen?"
Chen Yu said in embarrassment: "My brother will scold me to death. He once told me that girls should be more reserved and not be as careless as me."
"Aren't you reserved enough?" Xie Tingzhou complained, "I have treated you with great care, but I still haven't been able to marry you. If I continue to be reserved, will it take me another ten or eight years?"
Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh, patted his arm and comforted him: "Now is not the right time, I will find a chance to talk to him, besides, besides..."
"Besides what?"
"Besides, marriage can't be rushed." Chen Yu was a little thin-skinned.
Xie Tingzhou's eyes softened, "Of course I don't want to let you down. I've asked my father to make preparations in Beilin."
He stopped and let Chen Yu face him, his tone was extremely serious, "Ah Yu, once things are settled, I will take you back to Beilin, and we will get married in Beilin. I can't wait."
"You don't know how to embroider a wedding dress. I have asked eighty embroiderers to prepare it. By the time we return to Beilin, the wedding dress should be ready. I want to give you the best."
"Now that your elder brother is back, you are no longer alone. He will carry you on his back and I will take you from him. I don't want the throne anymore. We will build a courtyard in Beilin and live there together. Wherever you want to go, I will accompany you."
Shen Yuwei raised her head and looked at him.
He said a lot, and it all sounded so beautiful, but can he go back?
How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed?
Beilin is the sharp blade hanging over the king's head, and Xie Tingzhou is the scabbard that restrains Beilin.
The king kept him under his nose, and no matter who sat on the throne, the knife always existed.
Xie Tingzhou understood her so well that he could see the worry in her heart with just one glance.
"Don't be afraid." Xie Tingzhou hugged her under the moonlight and whispered in her ear, "If I want to leave, no one can stop me. At worst, we can fight to the death. Don't be afraid, I will take you home."
Chen Yu leaned on his shoulder and looked at the bright sunshine scattered all over the ground.
She had always avoided thinking about the ending of Xie Tingzhou in the previous life, but fell into nightmares again and again when Emperor Tongxu's death was approaching.
She dreamed that he was standing at the palace gate, covered in blood.
He stretched out his hand, just one step away from the palace gate, but in the end he was unable to walk out of the cage.
Chen Yu closed her eyes, shuddered violently, and tightened her arms around him.
Xie Tingzhou kissed her temples and comforted her again and again, "Don't be afraid, Ayu, I am here."
…
Today, the three judicial officials gathered in the Dali Temple to discuss matters.
It was already dusk when Xu Yishan and Cao Hong came out of the Dali Temple.
"Look at their attitude." Cao Hong said sternly, "The Dali Temple is trying to smooth things over and put all the burden on our Ministry of Justice. No matter what the result of this case is, it will be in vain. They are trying to get rid of the Dali Temple, so that no matter what happens, it will fall on us."
Xu Yishan said calmly, "This is good. At least it can prove that the Dali Temple did not collude with them. We can also try the case freely without being hindered by others."
"But this case has been delayed for almost a month!" Cao Hong said anxiously, "Your Majesty has given us a deadline of only half a month. In the past three days, the Marquis Xuanping has only said two words, asking for water. He has made up his mind not to say anything and fight us to the end."
"The title of Marquis Xuanping has not been removed yet, so we can't even punish him. The Ministry of Justice is stuck in the middle, and it's really difficult to be a man inside and outside."
Xu Yishan sighed deeply, "I will report this to the Emperor and see what His Majesty says."
The two had just entered the palace.
A gorgeous carriage drove in front of the palace gate. The two men looked at the sign hanging on the eaves of the carriage and knew that the visitor was the King of Qi, so they stepped aside to let it pass.
The King of Qi's carriage stopped in front of the two of them.
Li Yanchang lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked, "Are you two preparing to go to the palace to see the emperor?"
The two men bowed and saluted. Xu Yishan said, "That's right. King Qi, please go first."
"Hmm." Li Yanchang had just lowered the curtain, but then he opened it again, "Then the Marquis of Xuanping hasn't made his move yet?"
The case files of the Ministry of Justice cannot be disclosed before the case is closed, so Xu Yishan naturally would not speak out.
Li Yanchang smiled knowingly, "I see Lord Xu is frowning, maybe he is worried about this matter? I do have an idea, I wonder if you two adults are willing to listen to it."
Xu Yishan thought for a moment and decided that there had been no progress on this matter so far, so it would be okay to listen to it, so he did not adopt his opinion.
"Your humble servant is all ears."
Li Yanchang said: "In fact, everyone knows it tacitly. Who is the person who can be defended by Xuanping Hou? After all, he is a blood relative, but..."
Li Yanchang paused.
He continued, "Who said that Marquis Xuanping only has that one blood relative? Isn't there a closer one?"
Xu Yishan and Cao Hong looked at each other, only to see that Li Yanchang had already lowered the curtain and left.
Cao Hong said: "Sir, I think this method is feasible. Although the prisoners are not allowed to visit, it is purely a last resort. Why not let the young marquis go to the prison to see him."
"They used every possible means to investigate the case, and threats have been used before." Xu Yishan's eyes were filled with worry.
"It's not a threat." Cao Hong said, "Let the father and son meet in person. When the Marquis Xuanping sees his precious son, he may soften his attitude."
Xu Yishan sighed and said, "Then let's give it a try."
The carriage drove far away before the driver asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, can those two people listen to it?"
The carriage turned a corner at the end of Palace Lane.
Li Yanchang lifted the curtain and took a look, just in time to see the backs of Xu Yishan and Cao Hong turning around and leaving.
"If they hadn't listened, those two would have followed me into the palace by now."
"It's really not easy." The driver said, "The Ministry of Justice is well guarded by Xu Yishan. All the people guarding the prison are his cronies. It's impossible to get any information in."
"Once Marquis Xuanping saw Pei Chunli, he should know that he can't keep his mouth shut too tightly." Li Yanchang said nonchalantly, "I have to thank Anan for being such a good brother."
The driver seemed a little excited, "The prince's grand plan is just around the corner."
"Asshole!" Li Yanchang shouted, "What kind of place is this?"
The driver lowered his head and said, "I am wrong."
Li Yanchang walked out of the carriage and said, "You wait here, there is no need to follow me in."
"yes."
The maids and eunuchs in the palace were required to be decent-looking, but the driver had a scar running through his face, and with such an appearance, he would not dare to show his face in front of the emperor.
Li Yanchang went to pay his respects to Emperor Tongxu, and when he was about to leave the palace, he saw Shi Yu approaching.
Li Yanchang stopped and waited for a moment, "Master Shi."
Chen Yu: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Li Yanchang half-closed his eyes, and a smile flashed across his feminine face, "Look at the way Master Shi is dressed, it's worth it."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am just about to go home," Shen Yu replied seriously.
"That's perfect." Li Yanchang said with a smile, "I am leaving the palace too, so why not give you a ride?"
Shen Yu looked at Li Yanchang quietly, and after a moment, she said, "Okay, then thank you, King Qi."
