Chapter 101: Pressing Forward

Pei Chunli waved to the attendants below, "Hurry up, hurry up, give me the things."

He put a bundle on the courtyard wall with great effort, took a breath and said, "Don't say that brothers don't think of you when they have good things. I didn't lend it to others after I finished reading it myself, because I was thinking of you."

Shen Yu stretched out a hand, "What is this big bag of things?"

Pei Chunli gave her a wicked smile, "Good things, many rare books."

Shen Yu didn't expect Pei Chunli to be a well-read person, "I don't have so much time to read."

Pei Chunli didn't bother to care, "Go on."

Seeing Shen Yu stretch out a hand, Pei Chunli said "tsk", and then said: "Two."

Shen Yu sighed, bit the fruit in her mouth, and spread her hands.

As soon as the bundle was in her hand, Shen Yu realized how heavy it was.

Pei Chunli winked at her, "Keep it and read it slowly, they are all treasures."

After Pei Chunli's head shrank from the wall, Shen Yu put the bundle on the stone table, opened it and took out a book from it.

As soon as she opened a page, she closed it instantly as if she had seen something terrible.

After calming down a little, Shen Yu opened it again, and after confirming that she had not seen it wrong just now, she opened another one.

That's right, Pei Chunli, this bastard, actually brought her a whole bundle of spring palace pictures.

Shen Yu had the urge to set him on fire on the spot.

But thinking of Pei Chunli's treasured look, she held back, tied up the bundle, held it and turned around, and was immediately shocked.

Xie Tingzhou had stood behind her without knowing when.

"When did you come?" Shen Yu wanted to say this.

As soon as she opened her mouth, the fruit in her mouth fell.

Xie Tingzhou quickly reached out and took it, his eyes fell on the bundle in her hand.

"Just brought me a few books." Shen Yu said unnaturally.

"I didn't ask." Xie Tingzhou looked at the fruit in his hand, which had two neat rows of teeth marks on it, and asked her: "Do you want to eat it?"

Shen Yu shook her head.

Xie Tingzhou threw it to Da Huang, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands. Shen Yu clearly saw water on his palm. There was only one possibility, that was her saliva.

For some reason, the picture that flashed in the book just now appeared in her mind, and she felt that her cheeks were like being ignited by fire.

Xie Tingzhou glanced at the tip of her red ears. With the degree of thick skin he knew about her, blushing should not happen to her easily.

Shen Yu turned sideways uncomfortably, hugged the bag in her arms and ran to the study.

Lumingxuan was originally a courtyard used to receive guests, so it was fully equipped, with a study, a bathroom, a small hall, and a side hall.

Shen Yu looked around after entering the door, wondering where to hide such a big bag of things.

The study is the best place, and Erya didn't dare to flip through it when she cleaned it.

She thought for a moment, unpacked the bundle and sandwiched those frivolous books between the serious books, so that they couldn't be seen from the outside. Then she clapped her hands and went out.

Xie Tingzhou didn't leave, but stayed in the yard to play with the dog.

Shen Yu stood at the door for a moment, and as if she had sensed something, Xie Tingzhou turned around.

"Your Highness, did you come here specially for something?" Shen Yu walked over.

Since returning that night, neither of them mentioned the ambiguity and charm of that night, as if no one had noticed the unintentional touch.

Erya brought tea, and Xie Tingzhou waved his hand. After Erya walked away, he said, "The Yanliangguan case has been delayed for too long. The students of the Imperial College can no longer sit still. They knelt outside Chengtian Gate this morning to invite the case. There are also poor students kneeling at the gate of the palace, and they have not dispersed yet."

"Under pressure, Emperor Tongxu will certainly order the three courts to make a quick judgment, but the specific judgment depends on Emperor Tongxu's intention. It should be in the next few days."

Shen Yu said thoughtfully, "This case should not be delayed any further, otherwise how can the 100,000 heroes rest in peace."

Xie Tingzhou's eyes deepened, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at Shen Yu, "You did it."

He almost used an affirmative tone.

Shen Yu pretended not to know, "What does your highness mean?"

Xie Tingzhou opened his thin lips slightly, and just as he was about to speak, he exhaled again, stood up and said, "Follow me."

The two walked to the study room of Lumingxuan.

Shen Yu consciously closed the door, exhaled lightly, and stood at the door without moving.

Xie Tingzhou had not been to this place for many years. He scanned the paintings on the wall.

"As an emperor, the most unacceptable thing is that someone thinks he is smart and overrides the imperial power. How can the emperor allow himself to be led by the nose."

Shen Yu was silent. At this moment, she suddenly didn't want to argue.

Xie Tingzhou turned to look at her, "Stop talking? Isn't it a beautiful arrangement? First, go to Bashan Academy to participate in the Spring Poetry Festival to provoke the poor children. Once the poor children start a rebellion, how can the Imperial College sit still?"

"You have a good plan." His eyes were slightly cold, and he walked closer to her step by step, "Should I say you are smart or stupid? You let them be the first bird to force the emperor to lose face. Do you think Emperor Tongxu can't see that someone is provoking trouble?"

"When did you... see it?" Shen Yu asked in a hoarse voice.

"Today."

Xie Tingzhou had felt strange before. She had been to Bashan Academy three times in a row. He originally thought that there were old friends of hers in the academy. It was not until today when the students of the academy and the Imperial College took action together that he guessed that she played a crucial role in the middle.

He really underestimated her. She knew how to use people well, and she could stir up such a big commotion with her own strength.

Xie Tingzhou had already stood in front of her, with a sharp edge hidden in his slightly restrained eyes.

He asked: "If you are found out, how will you deal with it?"

Shen Yu was trapped in a cramped space by him, and he could smell his breath when she looked up.

She turned her head away and said: "I am very cautious, and they won't find out about me. Even if they really find out about me, I won't implicate you. When the time comes, you can push me out and say that you were deceived by me."

Xie Tingzhou's breathing suddenly became heavy, his jaw was tight, and his temples were throbbing with pain at her words.

Does she think he cares about whether he will be implicated?

"Shen Yu." He pinched her face and turned her around, looking into his eyes.

"Do you think I'm afraid of being implicated by you? Even if I did it, how could Emperor Tongxu dare to touch me, but he will touch you!" He suddenly raised his voice.

Shen Yu's eyes were suddenly burned by what he saw.

Her palms were pressed against the door behind her, her fingers curled up, and her nails scraped against the door with a slight sound.

"You are nervous." Xie Tingzhou pressed on, "Why are you nervous?"

That night under the moonlight, they knew each other tacitly and didn't say a word to each other.

But today, he suddenly lost control.

Shen Yu swallowed, "If you can find out that I am nervous, then others may find out too."

Xie Tingzhou let her go, "Are you scared now?"

He twisted his fingertips under his sleeves, and the delicate and smooth touch lasted for a long time.
