Chapter 210 Sleeping in the Same Bed
Shen Zhao sighed, "We will eventually get rid of him, but you can't be blinded by hatred and shift their faults onto the people. They have done their best."
“I didn’t,” Shen Yu retorted.
"Have you ever worried about Yanliang Pass this winter?" Chen Zhao asked.
Chen Yu said: "Yanliang Pass is the land of the Great Zhou. Guarding the border is the concern of the court, not my responsibility."
"Ayu, that's not what I meant. I'm not asking you to guard the border for them. I just want you to recognize the changes in yourself."
Chen Zhao put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Brother is telling you that this is not the people's fault, nor is it your fault. I know what you are thinking. You hate them and yourself for not being able to save others, so you are avoiding that place. You seem calm, but while you are punishing others, you are also punishing yourself, venting your anger in this way."
Chen Yu: “I…”
"Let me speak." Chen Zhao said, "We met again too late, I didn't see it, it was Xie Tingzhou, he knew he couldn't persuade you on this matter, so he let me who can empathize with you speak."
Shen Yu was stunned. Xie Tingzhou had never mentioned this issue to her.
Ever since he gave Yin Feng the gift, he never blocked her path again. He just supported her silently from behind.
Chen Zhao added: "You took in Xiao Chuan and the soldiers, and kept the bandits from Qichang as a backup. You wanted to accumulate strength and use them to achieve your goal, but what exactly is your goal? Have you thought it through?"
Chen Yu frowned, "There is still a fish that slipped through the net, Xuanping Hou."
"Can you do it?" Shen Zhao asked.
Chen Yu frowned and thought for a while, "It's OK. I owe Pei Chunli, but Xuanping Hou owes the lives of 100,000 soldiers. This is not something I can just write off."
"Anan he..." Chen Yu paused and couldn't continue.
"So after we have this chat and have done all this, what are you going to do?"
Chen Yu said honestly: "I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet."
Shen Zhao smiled and looked
This smart and capable girl also has a lovely side. He wanted to touch her hair, but was afraid that the girl would get angry with him.
"Then think about it slowly. There is still time. Go forward boldly. Xie Tingzhou indulges you. He will do whatever you want. But I am different. If you go the wrong way, I will pull you back by your braids."
"Don't worry about me all the time, just worry about yourself."
Chen Yu tapped him on the shoulder with a whip and said, "Look at the time. My sister-in-law is waiting anxiously at home."
When she mentioned this, Shen Zhao felt overwhelmed.
When we go back and live in the same room, how should we sleep?
Chen Zhao clinked his wine bag with hers, raised his head to drink the wine, and jumped on the horse first, "Let's go."
With a wicked smile in his eyes, Shen Zhao whipped his whip and whipped Chen Yu's Ben Xiao. He squeezed the horse's belly and the two horses rushed out at the same time.
"Ayu, catch up!" Chen Zhao shouted against the wind.
Shen Yu sneered, "Childish."
After saying that, he blew a whistle from a distance. Upon hearing the sound, Ben Xiao immediately turned around and almost knocked Chen Zhao off his horse.
Yu Wanqiu hasn't slept yet at this hour.
During these days of traveling, she and Shen Zhao were almost inseparable except for sleeping. They rode together all the time, and she felt a little uncomfortable when they were separated for the first time.
"The city gates should be closed at this time. Could he be stopped outside the city?" Ying'er, the maid, said worriedly as she stood at the door.
"No." Yu Wanqiu said, "He said he would come back tonight, so he will definitely come back."
Just as he finished speaking, a maid's voice rang out at the gate, "The young master is back."
Yu Wanqiu stood up quickly. Chen Zhao was already striding towards him and threw the horsewhip to the servant beside him.
Before entering the door, he stopped again and said embarrassedly: "I, I'm sweating all over. I'm afraid I'll stink you. I'll go wash first."
"It's okay, come in." Yu Wanqiu said with a smile, "You drank a lot, I prepared some hangover soup, and you don't have to worry about A-yu, I've asked Ying'er to bring it to Hongqiao to keep it warm."
Chen Zhao was touched, "Let the servants do these things."
Yu Wanqiu said: "It's different. I have nothing to do anyway, so I am happy to do these things."
Shen Zhao drank the sobering soup, took a bath and stood at the door of the bedroom.
The threshold was less than half a foot high, but he felt it was higher than the city wall at the border, and he could not muster up the courage to step over.
He raised his hand and put it down, raised his hand and put it down again, and repeated this several times. Yu Wanqiu in the room finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Are you going to stand at the door until dawn?"
"No, it's not." Shen Zhao gritted his teeth, took a deep breath and pushed open the door.
Yu Wanqiu was also nervous. She had taken off her hairpins and rings and was wearing a white nightgown, with her long black hair hanging down behind her.
Shen Zhao's breathing tightened and he swallowed, "You sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the couch."
The lights in the room went out.
Shen Zhao stared at the bed curtains in the dark, his mind full of the image of her smooth hair draped behind her.
He closed his eyes tightly, trying to get rid of the lust in his mind, and began to think about Yan Liangguan again.
But today it’s strange, I can’t figure out what it looks like there.
Yu Wanqiu couldn't sleep either. She listened to the sound of Shen Zhao tossing and turning, and finally got up from the bed and lifted the curtain.
"Is it because the couch is uncomfortable to sleep on?"
The beauty in Shen Zhao's mind was disturbed, and he subconsciously replied: "Uh, yes."
Yu Wanqiu smiled lightly and said shyly: "Then...come to the bed and sleep."
Shen Zhao didn't remember how he lay down on the bed.
Perhaps reason prevailed and his body was dominated by instinct, and he lay down where Yu Wanqiu had lay before.
There was a quilt for each of them, and Yu Wanqiu had already fallen asleep.
Shen Zhao was feeling smug about being so close, but at the same time he was despising himself.
He thought about how he had righteously accused Xie Tingzhou in the past. What was the difference between him and Xie Tingzhou now?
It turns out that everyone is like this. If they like someone, they want to get closer to each other. He is no more upright than Xie Tingzhou.
