Chapter 192 Mutual Exploitation
"I trust her, and my father trusts her too. Tomorrow there will be many people who will oppose this matter. I hope the Lord will stand on my side."
The prince spoke sincerely and with a humble attitude. Jiang Yuanqing had just refuted him once, and refusing again might hurt the relationship between the monarch and his subject.
So he thought about it for a while, what the prince said made sense, the way of the king is to check and balance, and besides, Chen Yu has been with His Majesty for quite some time, if she wanted to do something bad to His Majesty, she should have done it long ago.
If Jiang An's family is allowed to dominate the market, they may become a threat.
"Well," Jiang Yuanqing said, "Since the prince is guaranteeing her, let her come out."
Xie Tingzhou entered the palace early the next morning.
He also received news from Beilin last night that his father was seriously ill and summoned him to return to Beilin as soon as possible.
Xie Tingzhou thought about it all night. He wanted to leave, but he also wanted to take Chen Yu with him. It would be easier to deal with her now that she was in prison.
Replace the corpse in there and burn down the Dali Temple Prison. No one will know about it. Even if someone suspects something, they won't be able to find any concrete evidence.
The problem now is whether Li Zhaonian and that group of ministers are willing to let him go.
The rain had subsided, and Xie Tingzhou walked into the gate in front of Xuanhui Palace without an umbrella, but he suddenly stopped when he raised his eyes.
Chen Yu stood under the eaves, took the umbrella from the eunuch, and walked towards Xie Tingzhou holding the apricot-yellow umbrella.
Xie Tingzhou just paused for a moment and then walked forward again.
Chen Yu: "I will hold an umbrella for your Highness."
He was very tall. Chen Yu held the umbrella high, but lowered her head slightly, and whispered in a place where no one could see: "Prince, let me out. The cabinet agreed. They will not let you go, but don't worry, I have a way."
Xie Tingzhou did not respond. Chen Yu raised her head slightly and saw that his jawline was very tense.
Chen Yu said anxiously: "You must not be impulsive."
Xie Tingzhou said "hmm" to reassure her.
During the days when Emperor Tongxu was in a coma, the Crown Prince and cabinet ministers were discussing matters in a side hall.
After Xie Tingzhou entered the side hall, the door of the hall was closed tightly. Chen Yu returned to the door of the main hall and stood guard. She heard a faint sound of argument coming from the side hall.
Chen Yu looked at the vast rain curtain and felt sad when she thought of Xie Tingzhou fighting alone in there. What was even more unacceptable was that no matter how hard he fought, the outcome was already decided and they would not let him go.
The princes were not allowed to enter the capital without an imperial edict, and once they entered the capital, she knew very well how difficult it would be to obtain the imperial edict to leave the capital.
The door of the side hall opened, Xie Tingzhou walked in front,
Cabinet ministers came out one after another.
When passing by Chen Yu, Xie Tingzhou slowed down his pace, and the two of them looked at each other as they passed by.
With just a quick glance, Shen Yu saw a hint of powerlessness in his eyes.
But his back remained straight as he left, as if nothing could overwhelm him. Only Chen Yu knew that what he needed most at the moment was perhaps just a hug from her.
"I have tried my best."
Chen Yu turned her head and saw Li Zhaonian standing beside her. He was also looking in the direction where everyone was leaving.
"They don't understand at all." Li Zhaonian said slowly, "They want to keep a tiger that is struggling to hold back its hunger in captivity, but one day, they will be devoured by the tiger."
"He is not a tiger." Shen Yu said.
Li Zhaonian turned his head to look at her, "Then what is he?"
Chen Yu looked at the sky, "He is an eagle, he just wants to fly out."
Li Zhaonian laughed, "Then he is very similar to me. I also want to fly out."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for letting me out."
Li Zhaonian said: "You're welcome. You and I are using each other. If you want to get out, I need you to stabilize the situation for me."
Li Zhaonian turned and left. After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and asked, "Why did you choose to hand over the account book to me?"
"Because of what you said." Chen Yu said: "You said this mountain and river is too heavy, which means you have tried to carry it."
Li Zhaonian smiled feebly, "It's just an ant trying to shake a tree."
He knew that he could not bear the weight of this vast land, and later he found the answer in the books of Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi.
The way of heaven is inaction, which does not mean that it does nothing, but that it does everything. It follows nature and believes that right and wrong, success and failure are all just another form of desire.
If this country is going to perish, he will let it perish. Even if the road is bumpy, there will always be others who will come and fix it. Why should he force the Li family to retain power?
The ideas in his mind were too unorthodox and could not be tolerated by the world. He had no one to talk to, not even his bedmate.
"I can't touch Lao Qi now." He said weakly.
Shen Yu said, "I understand."
"Chen Yu."
Chen Yu: “Your Highness.”
Li Zhaonian was not looking at her. She didn't know what he was looking at. "If I were not a prince, if Xie Tingzhou didn't exist, I would definitely regard you as my confidant."
Chen Yu replied, "If we can leave this place, if we can meet in the martial arts world someday, we will be bosom friends."
…
After a rain, the sky was cloudless and the moon in the sky created a piece of moonlight in the cup.
Xie Tingzhou raised his glass and shook it, and the moon shattered into stars.
Changliu squatted in the corridor and whispered, "Your Highness is in a bad mood. He must want to go back to Beilin."
Xifeng looked at him and asked, "How do you know?"
"Or maybe I miss Shi Yu." Chang Liu said firmly, "It must be these two things. It's a pity that Shi Yu is not here."
"From now on, you have to call her Miss Chen." Xifeng reminded.
"But I'm not used to it." Chang Liu said in distress, "I was wondering why she was so rich. It turns out she's the daughter of the Hezhou Lu family. If I had known earlier, I would have asked her for two more tanks. Now my two little turtles are still huddled together. They're both male. This isn't appropriate."
Xi Feng was too lazy to pay attention to him, but saw Bai Yu, who was grooming his hair under the eaves, suddenly stared at one direction with sharp eyes, then spread his wings and soared into the sky, and then suddenly dived down.
Chen Yu stretched out her arms to hold Bai Yu. There were no arm restraints on her arms, and Bai Yu had already eased up on his strength, but it still hurt a little bit.
"Why are you heavier?" Chen Yu touched Bai Yu's feathers, "Did you eat too well recently?"
She stepped into the yard, and Bai Yu spread his wings between her arms again and hid under the eaves.
Xifeng: "Miss Shen."
Shen Yu nodded in greeting.
The figure beside the stone table in the yard paused for a moment, but did not turn back.
Chang Liu: "You are finally here. If you hadn't come... well."
Xifeng covered his mouth with one hand, hooked his neck and dragged him away.
There were only two people left in the yard.
Chen Yu walked behind Xie Tingzhou and hugged him from behind.
Xie Tingzhou grabbed her arm and closed his eyes in her arms, but he did not shed tears.
This man seemed to be terrifyingly strong. He kept all his weakness inside his body and only allowed himself to reveal it for a moment when he was in front of her.
"I took the initiative to send troops to Yanliang Pass because I didn't want to cause great suffering to the people. I went to the capital as a hostage because I wanted to fulfill the loyalty between the monarch and his subjects."
"I know." Shen Yu said.
Xie Tingzhou turned around, hugged her waist tightly, and pressed his face against her body.
He whispered, "Bei Lin has never had any intention of rebelling, but has become a thorn that keeps the king awake all night. Ayu, they are forcing me, they are forcing me to rebel."
Chen Yu hugged him tightly and said, "It's okay, we will definitely be able to go home."
She didn't want him to be in a desperate situation, she wanted him to leave in peace.
