Chapter 89 What if I favor her?
Chun Xing raised her eyes and glanced at Xie Tingzhou. She had already stopped crying when Xie Tingzhou started talking. Now she said cautiously:
"I did hear Qiuyun calling for help, but I didn't see the two of them lying on the couch together."
Chun Fu was shocked and pushed Chun Xing hard, "You are talking nonsense. You clearly came in with me."
Chun Xing knelt down and moved aside, whispering, "I really didn't see anything, I only heard the cry for help, sister, I'm sorry, I can't lie to Your Highness."
Qiuyun cried, "Whether Chunxing saw it or not, she heard my cry for help. It is a fact that Shiyu was plotting against me."
"Is it true?" Xie Tingzhou raised his eyes and looked at Chen Yu.
Chen Yu: “No.”
Xie Tingzhou stroked the ring on his hand and said nonchalantly: "Did you hear it? If she says it's not, then it's not."
"He's lying!" Qiu Yun suddenly became excited, "Your Highness, you can't favor him just because he is your guard."
Xie Tingzhou stopped what he was doing and asked slowly, "What if I want to favor her?"
Shen Yu was about to speak when Xie Tingzhou raised his hand to stop her.
Xie Tingzhou looked at Qiu Yun with a sharp gaze and asked, "So what if I favor her?"
Qiu Yun's heart sank when he looked at her, and she trembled and said, "Your Highness cannot distinguish right from wrong. How can you convince others in the future? If it gets out that a guard can flirt with your concubine at will, how can your Highness save face?"
She deliberately dragged the matter onto Xie Tingzhou just to make things worse.
Xie Tingzhou sneered, "They are just a few maids, and they dare to call themselves concubines."
Qiuyun and Chunfu's expressions changed at the same time.
They were concubines in the Beilin Palace, but they had never served Xie Tingzhou.
Qiuyun cried and said, "Even if I'm not a concubine, even if I'm just a maid, I can't let anyone abuse me at will. I'd rather die."
As he said this, he was about to hit the pillar.
The guard gently used the handle of his knife to block the man and pushed him back to the ground.
Chun Xing looked up at the Crown Prince and Shi Yu beside him, and calmed down.
Her choice was indeed correct. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came in, Shi Yu was not afraid at all. This was unreasonable, which showed that he was completely sure about this matter.
Besides, it was clear from his words that His Highness wanted to protect Shi Yu, but it was ridiculous that these two idiots were still playing a double act.
Chun Xing secretly felt lucky that she changed sides early and did not collude with those two idiots, so she was able to get out of this situation.
.
Xie Tingzhou turned his head and asked Chen Yu, "It seems that they are not convinced. What do you think we should do?"
Shen Yu was not concerned about it, "How should I know?"
Xie Tingzhou smiled helplessly, "You don't want to defend yourself?"
Chen Yu pursed her lips and said, "They came to deliver snacks and put drugs in them. They didn't know that martial artists have better hearing than ordinary people. I heard them talking in the house, so I played along to see what they were up to."
"You're talking nonsense." Qiu Yun glared at him and said, "I made the snacks myself. They are not poisonous at all. If you don't believe me, you can ask a doctor to check it out."
Qiuyun was confident because they had already replaced the snacks and buried the poisonous ones secretly in the yard.
Shen Yu chuckled, pulled out a balled-up handkerchief from her sleeve, and threw it in front of the people.
The handkerchief spread out on the ground, and the contents were scattered all over the floor.
When they saw clearly what was on the ground, Chun Fu, Qiu Yun and Chun Xing beside them could not help but turn pale with shock.
The handkerchief contained snack crumbs, which he didn't eat at all!
Chen Yu said calmly: "Why not ask a doctor to check this."
Xie Tingzhou once said that one should not eat anything that one did not know its origin. The chicken in the village taught her a lesson, so when she lay on the table, she secretly spit the snacks into her handkerchief while the others were discussing countermeasures.
Qiuyun fell to the ground.
Chun Fu's heart was beating like thunder, she knew the situation was hopeless and now she could only protect herself.
She grabbed Qiuyun and said, "Sister, did you really put drugs in the snacks? You are so confused!"
Qiu Yun's eyes widened, she pointed at her and said, "We clearly discussed this strategy together. Now you want to protect yourself and let me handle it alone. You're dreaming."
Chen Yu was too lazy to watch their dog-eat-dog drama, and said, "I didn't faint from the beginning to the end, and I listened to everything you discussed. What are you still doing here now?"
Qiu Yun suddenly took a few steps on her knees, "Your Highness, I have no choice but to do this."
"Da Huang! Da Huang, what's wrong with you?"
Erya's worried voice suddenly came from the yard.
Chen Yu ignored the people on the ground and went out first. She saw Da Huang running around in the yard anxiously. Chen Yu called it over but it didn't listen.
"What's wrong with it?"
Erya said with red eyes: "I don't know either."
"Aren't you playing with Da Huang?" Chen Yu asked.
Erya said timidly: "I'm at the door
I was eavesdropping and wasn't paying attention to it for a while, and it just stayed like this."
Xie Tingzhou also came out, took a look at the rhubarb running around, and ordered the guards to catch it.
Da Huang was caught by several guards. The guards observed him for a moment and whispered, "Your Highness, it seems... it's in heat."
Under normal circumstances, a dog wouldn't go crazy like this even when he's in heat.
Another guard came running over, holding half a cake in his hand, "Your Highness, there are traces of dog paddling in the flower bed over there, and we found this thing inside."
It was the cakes they had buried.
Chen Yu looked at Xie Tingzhou and asked tentatively, "Did you bring its lover back with you?"
Xie Tingzhou was speechless, "Do I look like someone who can think so carefully about it?"
"Are there any other dogs in the palace?"
"No."
Chen Yu frowned, "What should we do now? Find a new lover for Da Huang in Beijing?"
"Leave it to Changliu," Xie Tingzhou said, "He knows how to find a solution."
Chen Yu immediately complained, "Changliu is still so young! How can he understand."
Xie Tingzhou half-smiled, "He already knew how to find a lover for his turtle."
A farce turned into a comedy later.
Last time it was roast chicken, this time it was dim sum, and in the end it was Da Huang Cheng who had to bear it all alone.
After the matter was over, Zhong Bo hurried over and asked Xie Tingzhou and others what to do.
Xie Tingzhou said calmly: "Since it is a gift from my father, I can't do anything about it. Just sell it directly."
Uncle Zhong touched the sweat on his forehead and asked, "Will it be..."
Xie Tingzhou interrupted him and said, "If you think the punishment is too light, you can just beat him to death."
Zhong Bo didn't dare to say anything more.
Chun Fu and the other two were tied up and taken away by servants.
Chun Xing broke free while the servant wasn't paying attention, rushed over and threw herself in front of Xie Tingzhou, crying, "Your Highness, I didn't participate. I also said before that I didn't see the two of them on the bed. I just heard Qiu Yun's cry. Please spare my life, Your Highness."
Chun Xing's hands were tied behind her back, and she kowtowed with her forehead touching the ground.
She never expected that Shi Yu would have that trick, which directly disrupted her plans.
Xie Tingzhou leaned forward slightly to look at her and actually laughed out loud. The voice was so low and gentle, yet it sent chills down one's spine.
He said, “Do you think I care if you’re involved or not?”
