Chapter 79 Comfort
After the doctor entered, the door of Qingpu Ju was completely closed.
The guards and secret guards guarded Qingpu Residence like an iron barrel, and not even a sparrow could fly in. However, the busy sounds of people coming and going could be vaguely heard from outside the courtyard.
Chen Yu walked for a while and then turned back, leaning under the eaves with her guards, holding her knife.
She was not on duty today, but for some reason she felt nervous when she was far away. She felt much more at ease standing here.
It was getting dark, and Erya brought Dahuang out to look for her.
Erya said, "I don't know what happened to Dahuang tonight. He kept barking."
Chen Yu squatted down and rubbed Da Huang's head, muttering: "Do you also know that he is not well?"
Dogs are intelligent and their intuition is sometimes more accurate than that of humans.
The man and the dog sat under the eaves waiting, hoping for good news from inside.
At midnight, the door of Qingpu Residence finally opened, and a guard rushed out.
Shen Yu stuck her head out to look around, only to see that the courtyard was brightly lit, and maids and servants were coming and going like ants on a hot pan.
The courtyard gate was closed again, and half an hour later, two imperial doctors came from the palace.
Xie Tingzhou's illness was serious and it was not until the morning that his condition improved and became stable.
Before falling asleep, he closed his eyes and asked, "Where's she?"
Xifeng and Changliu both knew tacitly who this he (she) was referring to.
"I went back a long time ago." Changliu said unsatisfactorily.
His Highness was so good to Shi Yu, but he just left without even asking any questions. He is simply an ungrateful person.
Xie Tingzhou's breathing slowed down and he slowly fell asleep.
I slept until the afternoon.
When Li Jifeng heard that Xie Tingzhou was ill, he hurried over from the palace.
As everyone said, he was a useless piece of mud. The ministers looked down on him, and even the young masters of noble families preferred to curry favor with his brothers instead of inviting him to play with them.
Because no matter who has the greater possibility of ascending to the throne than him, even if Li Jifeng is crowned king in the future, he will only be an idle prince without real power.
Xie Tingzhou is different to him, he is the prince of Beilin, and it is an ironclad fact that he will become the future King of Beilin. Many young masters from aristocratic families want to get close to him, but he really regards Li Jifeng as a brother.
Li Jifeng
He stepped one foot into Qingpu Residence, paused, glanced at Chen Yu at the door, and then left.
Li Jifeng arrived before he even showed up. As soon as he stepped into the yard, he shouted, "Brother!"
Xie Tingzhou had just woken up and was not in good spirits. He was sitting at the table eating porridge.
I didn't have much of an appetite to begin with, and his howling made me completely unable to eat.
When Li Jifeng came in, he saw him put down his chopsticks and asked, "Are you okay?"
"I would be better off if you didn't come." Xie Tingzhou said.
Li Jifeng had long been accustomed to his mouth and sat down.
He usually ate a lot of meat and fish, so he just wanted to eat something light. The dishes on the table looked good, so he asked someone to add a pair of chopsticks.
"I just heard in the afternoon that you called the imperial physician last night. What happened?"
"It's just an old problem." Xie Tingzhou said calmly.
Li Jifeng asked worriedly, "Has the remaining poison not yet dissipated?"
Xie Tingzhou didn't respond. He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and immediately frowned.
He wanted to take medicine, so the servants took away the tea and only filled the teacup with plain water.
Li Jifeng took a few sips, and thinking of the person standing at the door, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "One night of marriage means a hundred days of love, and it's only been a few days, and you've already driven that person out of the yard?"
Xie Tingzhou was confused, "What?"
"Your delicate lover," Li Jifeng pointed at him with his chin, "is standing guard at the gate of the courtyard. Didn't you punish him for it?"
Xie Tingzhou was silent for a moment, "Stay forever."
"Stay forever!" Li Jifeng raised his voice to convey the message.
Chang Liu was waiting at the door and hurried into the room, "Master, what do you want?"
It was difficult to distinguish between the two princes in the room, so Changliu simply called them the master.
Xie Tingzhou glanced at him and asked, "How many steps are there from here to the gate?"
Chang Liu was stunned, "This... I haven't counted it."
Xie Tingzhou: "Then go and count."
Changliu scratched the back of his head suspiciously, and started counting as he walked from the door.
"One hundred and thirty-five, one hundred and thirty... Hey, when did you come?" Chang Liu looked at Shi Yu at the gate of the courtyard.
Chen Yu said: "I have been here all the time, what's wrong?"
Chang Liu's mind turned, he trotted back, and knelt down at the door, "Master."
Xie Tingzhou: "How many steps
? "
Chang Liu stammered, "One hundred and thirty-six. I was wrong."
When he saw Shi Yu standing at the door, he understood Xie Tingzhou's intention of asking him to count the steps.
It was only a hundred steps away, and he answered without confirming anything. This was a mistake that a guard should not make.
"Let her go back." Xie Tingzhou said.
"Yes." Changliu went out quickly to inform Shi Yu.
After a while, he ran back and said, "Master, he said he won't leave."
"Look at that," Li Jifeng exclaimed, "How loyal you are. You can't even see your lover in such a cold weather, and you're still waiting outside like this. You're such a heartless man."
Xie Tingzhou raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "Are you full?"
Li Jifeng: "Not yet, why are you..."
A piece of cake was stuffed into his mouth, choking Li Jifeng and causing him to dry heave. He finally managed to take the cake out and pointed at him, saying, "You are plotting to murder the heir to the throne!"
Xie Tingzhou pretended not to hear and said to Changliu, "Let her in."
It was windy today and very cold outside the courtyard. If Shen Yu hadn't practiced martial arts all year round, her body would have collapsed long ago.
Xie Tingzhou watched her walk in quickly, with Da Huang following at her feet.
He was the only one in the room, and Li Jifeng was driven to the side hall by him.
Chen Yu still remembered that Xie Tingzhou was afraid of the cold, so he closed the door when he entered the room. Her eyes moved around him and then fell back on his face.
His face was paler than usual, but his lips were bright red.
"Why don't you go back?" Xie Tingzhou asked.
After entering the house, Dahuang just sniffed around.
Chen Yu glanced at it and said, "Didn't Your Highness ask me to think carefully about how to explain it? I have already thought about it."
Xie Tingzhou's eyes were deep. In fact, the answer could be known with a little guess.
Shen Yu took a breath and exhaled slowly. This was the first time she confessed her difficulties to someone.
"I……"
"No need to say more." He was interrupted by Xie Tingzhou just as he opened his mouth.
Shen Yu was stunned.
Xie Tingzhou raised his eyes and said slowly: "Don't think about things that make you sad a second time."
Shen Yu looked at him in shock.
She seemed to be gently comforted by these words. For the first time, she felt that she was so wronged.
