Chapter 235 Wedding Gift
Chen Yu went to the training ground every day, but Xie Tingzhou had official business to attend to, so he couldn't go every day and would only see her at night.
He was just indulging in her, and was even clingier to her than before. Today, he detained her in the palace and moved his official business to the study.
"Brother and his friends are fast, so they should have passed Pingzhou by now."
Chen Zhao returned to Hezhou the day after his wedding, just in time to go with the person Xifeng sent to pick up the maid.
After all, Chen Zhao was still a newlywed, and he came all the way for Chen Yu's wedding, but he was reluctant to leave his new bride at home, so he had to hurry back.
After Xie Tingzhou finished speaking, he didn't hear any response for a long time. He raised his head and saw her buried in the desk, calculating something seriously.
"What is that?"
"Don't interrupt." Chen Yu didn't even raise her head, holding a pen in one hand, and only raised her head after she finished calculating and asked, "What did you just say?"
Xie Tingzhou pointed at his chin.
"Oh." Chen Yu tapped on the account book, "I'm calculating the military supplies for the five thousand soldiers and new recruits next season."
Xie Tingzhou picked up the account book and took a look at it. The accounts were very well calculated, indeed he was influenced by his family background in the number one merchant family in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Xie Tingzhou was watching her calculating from the side when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door.
If there was nothing else, the servants would not dare to leave so hastily.
"My Lord, my Princess."
Xie Tingzhou tilted his head, "What's the matter?"
The maid said outside the door: "Someone came to deliver a gift, saying it was a wedding gift for the prince and princess, and it came from Shengjing."
Chen Yu was also surprised for a moment, "Are you sure it was sent from Shengjing?"
She had no relatives or friends in Shengjing, so she couldn't think of anyone else who would send her gifts.
"Could it be that it was sent by King Yan?"
Xie Tingzhou and Li Jifeng are close friends, but the current situation is uncertain.
"Go and have a look."
Xie Tingzhou and Shen Yu left the palace. There were several carriages parked in front of the palace, and a group of people giving gifts were also waiting at the door.
The leader, a mustachioed man, saw the large group of people coming out of the gate and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile, "Greetings, Your Highness and Princess. I came from Shengjing to deliver wedding gifts."
"Which house is it?" Xie Tingzhou asked.
The man with the mustache just remembered and took out the invitation and presented it with both hands, "I am from Lord Jiang's residence, and I am here to give a gift on behalf of my young master, Lord Jiang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
Xie Tingzhou's outstretched hand dropped again, and he turned his head to look at Chen Yu.
Shen Yu was also confused, "I don't know."
The man with the mustache held up the note and said, "The things on this car are all wedding gifts from the Minister to the Princess."
The other people present did not know the inside story and thought that the two had served in the same court and had a good relationship, but Chen Yu and Xie Tingzhou knew it very well.
Chen Yu saw Xie Tingzhou's jaw clench, then slowly relax.
Xie Tingzhou said in a slightly cold tone, "Since it is a gift to my princess, we will accept it."
Just as Shen Yu was about to speak, Xie Tingzhou gently squeezed her hand and called out, "Changliu."
"Hey." Changliu jumped forward.
Xie Tingzhou asked: "Is it cold this day?"
Chang Liu was stunned for a moment. "Of course it's cold. My little turtle was frozen. It didn't move for a few days. I thought it was going to die. But..."
Once Changliu opened his mouth, he couldn't close it.
Xie Tingzhou interrupted him, "Then go get some kerosene, Master, I'll light a bonfire for you."
"Okay." Chang Liu responded, turned around and ran.
When the man with a mustache who was sending the gift heard this, he felt that something was not right, but he did not dare to ask directly.
Xi Feng used the handle of his knife to pry open the carriage and took a look inside. "Why are they all wrapped in oil paper? Why are they wrapped so tightly?"
The little mustache said, "They are all rare wooden items, and some silk. I don't want them to get damp on the road, so I wrapped them up."
Xi Feng nodded and made a gesture, and the palace guards came forward to move the things.
There were quite a lot of boxes, and two guards carried them down one box at a time. Xifeng stood aside and didn't count them. They would have to be burned soon anyway, so there was no point in counting them.
The man with the mustache held out a small box and said, "Princess, these are the things my master told me to give to you personally. They are all things you liked in the past."
The box opens slowly
open.
Xie Tingzhou's expression suddenly changed, he embraced Shen Yu with one hand, and pulled out the knife of the guard beside him.
With a cry of "Ah", the man with a mustache grabbed his wrist and screamed.
The hand was broken at the wrist, but there were two broken hands on the ground, one was fresh and bloody, one was black, and the other was an empty box.
The guards drew their swords at the same time and subdued all the people who were giving gifts in an instant.
The little mustache screamed in pain, "Please spare my life, my lord, please spare my life."
Xie Tingzhou looked at the man coldly, "Jiang Ji asked you to deliver the broken hand?"
The man with the mustache ignored the pain and was stunned when he saw the things in the box. "No, no, how could there be a severed hand in here? It's clearly..."
"What is it?"
The little mustache almost twitched in pain, "Yes, it is the princess's personal belongings."
There was a dangerous gleam in Xie Tingzhou's eyes, and the tip of the knife touched the mustache man's neck, drawing blood.
"Say it. Again." Xie Tingzhou spoke word by word.
The mustache man gasped, "It's jewelry. It's the princess's jewelry in her boudoir."
"You are talking nonsense!" Chen Yu said angrily, "When did I ever give him jewelry?"
"I'm just giving gifts, I really don't know."
"Open." Chen Yu said coldly, "Open all the boxes."
When the first box was opened, the guard was stunned, followed by the second, the third... more than a dozen boxes in total, all filled with the same things.
Xie Tingzhou knew something was wrong, so he let go of Chen Yu and let her stand where she was, and walked closer to take a look.
His eyes swept across the boxes without saying a word, but he suddenly picked up the knife.
A knife flashed, and a servant who was delivering gifts fell to the ground, holding his neck.
Shen Yu stepped forward.
Xie Tingzhou: "Stand there, don't come over."
These words could not stop Shen Yu at all. She had to see for herself what was in these boxes.
As she approached, the contents of the box were revealed.
It’s a person, a dead person.
Jiang Lianzhi brought her more than a dozen corpses.
