Chapter 287 A man remains young until his death
Chen Yu did not dodge, she stood where she was, allowing Lin Qingli to kneel down and grab the hem of her clothes.
Lin Qingli burst into tears, "I am not a slave, please save me, princess. I don't want to be sold to a brothel."
The two women were both human traffickers. They were terrified after hearing what happened. They stepped forward and tried to pry Lin Qingli's fingers apart, cursing at him with gritted teeth.
"You damned slave, you dared to touch the princess's clothes with your dirty hands. You have disturbed the princess's carriage and soiled her robe. Ten lives of yours will not be enough to compensate you."
"I'm not a family slave, Princess! I was abducted by them." Lin Qingli struggled not to let go, treating the person in front of her as a life-saving straw.
"You asked me to save you?" Chen Yu seemed to have heard something ridiculous, "Do you know me?"
Lin Qingli nodded desperately, "I know you, you are the Princess of Beilin."
"Do I know you, then?"
Lin Qingli shook his head.
"If we don't know each other, why should I save you?"
Lin Qingli was stunned for a moment, "The princess has a kind heart."
"This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard." Chen Yu leaned over and looked into Lin Qingli's eyes. "My hands are stained with the blood of hundreds of people. If I had a heart like a bodhisattva, I would have died long ago."
"Princess." Lin Qingli cried, "Princess, you are kind-hearted. You will not stand by and watch someone die."
Watch someone die without helping.
In her previous life, Chen Yuke ended up dying at the bottom of the lake because someone watched her die without helping her.
"I am kind-hearted, but I am not soft-hearted." Chen Yu stood up and looked at her coldly, "Let go!"
When the woman saw that the princess had stopped smiling, she hurriedly continued to pry Lin Qingli's fingers apart. This time she used great force, and she was determined to pull them apart even if she had to sell them at a low price.
The noise in the yard startled the people in the hall.
When Xie Tingzhou came out, he saw the woman who had just been pulled away breaking free from her restraints and rushing towards Chen Yu.
Shen Yu's wrist suddenly tightened, and she was dragged back half a step.
With a thud, Lin Qingli was kicked into the yard and coughed up blood before he could get up.
"Are you okay?" Xie Tingzhou half-embraced Chen Yu and looked her up and down.
Shen Yu shook her head, "It's okay, don't use force."
"I know." Xie Tingzhou glanced around the courtyard, his eyes cold and silent, "How dare you bring anyone to the princess? Are all the people in this courtyard vegetarians?"
There were people kneeling on the ground in the courtyard, and Zuo Changshi was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
He was originally the left chief secretary under King Wei. When King Wei died, he was lucky not to be implicated.
now
Ri originally came to give gifts to wish for safety, but he didn't expect to disturb the princess instead.
Zuo Changshi quickly waved his hands at the people behind him, "Hurry up and shut up this bitch and drag her away!"
He knelt on the ground again, not daring to raise his head. "I disturbed the princess today. I will go back and ask someone to prepare a generous gift to apologize to the princess."
Xie Tingzhou said nothing, and walked in with Chen Yu in his arms. After he entered the door, he turned his head and asked, "Why are you staring at me like that?"
Chen Yu pursed her lips and smiled, "That kick was so handsome."
It feels so good to be protected unconditionally.
Xie Tingzhou glanced at her, "Is there a reward?"
"Yes." Chen Yu took out a letter and patted it on his chest, "Someone gave you a letter."
Chen Yu walked around the table and saw from the window that the people outside had been dragged away and the servants were cleaning the blood on the ground.
"I don't care about the girl surnamed Lin. If the other girls are from decent families, they should be released. As for the human traffickers, they should also be dealt with. Otherwise, kidnapping decent girls will become a trend and it cannot be tolerated."
Xie Tingzhou had just opened the letter but hadn't read it yet. Hearing this, he looked up and asked, "Do you have a grudge against that person?"
"Just a little bit, not a big deal. She once pushed me into the water." Chen Yu said lightly.
Xie Tingzhou thought for a moment and remembered that they fell into the water on the way back to Beijing. Chen Yu once told him that she was afraid of water because she had fallen into water before.
"That's easy, just throw her into the water again."
"She doesn't seem to be able to swim either."
Xie Tingzhou raised his eyelids and asked, "When she pushed my princess into the water, did she ever think that you couldn't swim?"
"That is..." Chen Yu didn't know how to tell him about her past life. It was just like a dream, and it wasn't that important to her.
Xie Tingzhou said: "Don't worry about it, I will handle it."
"Let's put it aside for a moment and talk about business." Chen Yu said, "You read the letter first. I've already read it."
Xie Tingzhou saw the unfamiliar handwriting, so he looked at the signature first. When he saw Jiang Lianzhi's name, he asked, "He wrote to me, how did it get to you?"
"I don't know." Chen Yu thought for a moment, "Maybe I'm afraid I can't give it to you, or I'm afraid you'll just throw it away."
Xie Tingzhou's eyes flickered for a moment, and he sneered, "You think men are too simple."
Shen Yu didn't understand, Xie Tingzhou had already lowered his head to read the letter, "Li Zhaonian is going to issue an edict to reward the Xiao family."
Chen Yu said: "Li Zhaonian is too ill to attend court. It is still unclear who in the court will reward the Xiao family. It is quite sad that he, an emperor, cannot make the decision himself."
“This is a divisive tactic.
"Xie Tingzhou read the letter and put it aside," If the Xiao family accepts the order, it will definitely stand on the side of the court. "
"What do you think they will choose?" Chen Yu propped up her chin and looked at him.
Xie Tingzhou looked into her eyes and felt a slight itch in his heart. He waved for her to come over and pulled her to sit on his lap.
"Please reply to the letter for me first." Xie Tingzhou put a pen in her hand.
Shen Yu looked back at him, "Why do you want me to go back?"
Xie Tingzhou straightened her head, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said softly, "Because my hands are sore, I will read and you write."
Chen Yu spread out the letter paper and said, "Go ahead."
Chen Yu's handwriting is very special. It is not the delicate and neat seal script popular among women nowadays, but a smooth and flowing running script with a sense of elegance in the brushstrokes.
Shen Yu listened and wrote, and asked him from time to time, "Is this right?"
"Yeah, very good." Xie Tingzhou smiled where she couldn't see.
Jiang Ji deliberately sent the letter to Chen Yu, wanting to use such a childish method to annoy him, but he didn't use his brain much.
The person is his, the heart is his, what does he, Jiang Ji, have?
Want to piss him off? He hugged Chen Yu and asked her to write for him, which was enough to piss Jiang Ji off to death, not to mention what they were like in private.
Chen Yu was completely unaware of the secret rivalry between the two men. After writing, she let the ink stain dry and prepared to put it in an envelope.
"Wait." Xie Tingzhou stopped him and added a sentence at the bottom, meaning that his wife was writing for him because of his poor health.
Chen Yu almost laughed when she saw it, "Is it necessary?"
"It's necessary." Xie Tingzhou said, "What if he doesn't know what I meant?"
"They all use your tone." Chen Yu pointed to a place and said, "This king is also written here."
Xie Tingzhou ignored it and folded the letter calmly.
No matter how old you are, the youthful spirit will never fade.
Driven by the man's competitive spirit, he must win. Not only must he win, but he would also like to piss Jiang Ji off to death.
"You are so childish." Chen Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Lin Qingli is the daughter of Jiang Lianzhi's mentor, and they were childhood sweethearts."
"Who is Lin Qingli?"
"The one you just kicked away."
Xie Tingzhou thought for a moment and said, "Then you can add another sentence for me, saying that I kicked his childhood sweetheart until she vomited blood, and then sold her to a brothel."
Chen Yu looked at him, "Thank you Tingzhou!"
Xie Tingzhou carried out his henpecked attitude to the end, "Okay, I won't add this sentence."
