Chapter 195 Send Him Away From Beijing

Shen Yu's heart sank, and she forced herself to calm down and said, "Your Majesty thinks too highly of me. I am definitely not that important."

Negotiating with the emperor is like trying to get the skin of a tiger. She knew that she could neither agree too straightforwardly nor be too arrogant.

Emperor Tongxu looked at her and said, "You are too modest, Shen Yu. I might as well tell you that I can only let one of you and Xie Tingzhou go. Letting you go with him is like making Beilin even more powerful."

"Apart from my decent martial arts, I don't know what else is there that makes people afraid."

"It's hard to find a talented general." Emperor Tongxu looked sharp, "You have followed Zhongan for many years. Haven't you learned anything from him? I want you to stay here. The prince is too gentle. I need someone like you to assist him. As long as you are here, Beilin will be submissive."

He sat in that high position for 19 years. That position gave him the right to look down on the people. In that position, he learned how to see people and saw them too thoroughly.

"You choose one, let Xie Tingzhou leave or stay."

The door of Xuanhui Hall opened.

Shen Yu walked out, holding the bright yellow imperial edict in her hand. When she stepped over the threshold, she tripped and stood up before Li Zhaonian supported her.

Her body was very heavy. The original plan was to send him home, but on the day she really did it, she realized how uncomfortable the choice was.

He can finally go home, on the condition that she is trapped here instead.

"Eunuch, go to Beilin Palace to convey the imperial edict." She said.

Li Zhaonian looked at her and saw that her eyes gradually changed from hesitation when she left the hall to brokenness, and then everything disappeared. Her eyes were red, but she was still as firm as usual, as if everything just now was just his illusion.

...

The Beilin Palace was brightly lit.

Servants came and went, and Zhong Bo was busy telling the servants to pack up.

Just now, the palace came to convey the edict, allowing the Beilin prince to leave Beijing today and return to Beilin to serve the old prince.

"Slow down, slow down, this thing can't be bumped."

"Ah." Zhong Bo said to himself, "I thought I would live here for at least a few years. I moved so many things that the prince often used here, but who knew I would have to move them back again."

Chang Liu squatted at his feet, blocking the ants' way with a stick, "Grandpa, where is Shi Yu? Isn't she going back to Beilin with us?"

He was used to calling Shi Yu, and he couldn't change his way of saying it.

Zhong Bo sighed, "You can't say this in front of His Highness, it will hurt him."

"I know." Chang Liu said unhappily, "But I really don't want to leave Shi Yu."

Zhong Bo said, "She is honest to people and kind to everyone around her."

Chang Liu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Well, she is very kind to people. She gave me a valuable jar, secretly gave me pocket money several times, and often gave me snacks."

He remembered something and added, "Although I was drugged once."

Zhong Bo wiped his eyes, "There will always be a day. After getting through this hurdle, we will always meet again."

Chang Liu pursed his lips and wanted to cry, but tried hard to hold it back.

Xie Tingzhou listened to the sound of people coming and going to pack up things, and felt a severe headache.

He had been sitting in the chair for a long time, leaning forward, looking down at the imperial edict in his hand.

The things he had been waiting for for a long time, now in his hands, he felt that they were not so important.

If she is not here, then what is the point of him returning to Beilin?

As soon as his fingers loosened, the imperial edict fell to the ground and scattered. The handwriting on it was messy and frivolous. It was obviously written by Emperor Tongxu when he woke up, and it was stamped with the emperor's imperial seal.

Xie Tingzhou stood up and walked out. When he walked into the courtyard, Xifeng rushed forward immediately.

"Your Highness, the palace gate is not open, you can't get in."

Xie Tingzhou's breathing trembled slightly, "I have a way."

He took a step forward, and Xifeng stood in front of him, "Even if you can get in, I can't let you in."

Emperor Tongxu woke up, it was time to take action against the King of Qi. Once something happened in the palace, every step would be extremely dangerous. He couldn't let the prince take the risk of entering the palace.

Moreover, it was the best choice to leave this place of right and wrong that was about to be in chaos, and he would not be involved by any party.

"You want to stop me?" Xie Tingzhou spoke word by word, with an imposing manner.

Xifeng was suppressed by the imposing manner that came to his face, his knees were weak, but he still refused to move a step.

"Your Highness, let's leave Beijing first and make plans. We are restricted everywhere in Beijing, and we can't let go. Besides, Miss Shen is a martial arts expert, and it shouldn't be a problem for her to protect herself in the palace."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a "swish" sound, and Xifeng felt a chill on his neck. When he lowered his eyes, his eyes were pierced by the reflection of the knife.

Xie Tingzhou said faintly: "No one can stop me today."

Xifeng gritted his teeth, "Xifeng is the guard selected by Your Highness himself. The guards take the safety of the master as their own life. Even if I die under Your Highness's knife today, I am willing."

"Yo." Li Jifeng's sloppy voice suddenly sounded at the gate of the courtyard, "What are you talking about in the middle of the night? It's scary."

Xie Tingzhou looked over.

"Don't worry about me." Li Jifeng said: "Let's solve your infighting first, and I will just watch the fun."

He held a brown envelope in his hand and shook it deliberately. If there were no lights on everywhere, it would not be easy to see clearly.

Xie Tingzhou's eyes turned stern, he put away his knife and walked over quickly, "Is it her letter?"

"Yes." Li Jifeng said, "Why else would you come here so late at night? Hey hey hey——"

The letter in his hand was snatched away by Xie Tingzhou, who also slapped his chest with a knife.

Li Jifeng held the knife for fear of cutting himself, so he stuffed it into Xifeng's hand and chased after Xie Tingzhou, muttering, "Xie Yun, you are not a decent person, I came to deliver a letter in the middle of the night, and you didn't even have a cup of tea--"

The door slammed shut in front of him, almost hitting his face.

Li Jifeng touched his nose with lingering fear, "This is the way to treat guests, tsk, forget it, I won't bother with you today."

He walked to the stone bench in the yard and sat down, looking back at the figure reflected in the window, and the teasing in his eyes subsided.

After being brothers, it was finally time to say goodbye.

Xie Tingzhou unfolded the letter, the handwriting was familiar, but it was a little sloppy, and it could be seen that she was a little anxious when she wrote.

He thought of her writing furiously under the lamp, with her head slightly lowered, the lines of her neck stretched, her eyes focused and serious, and perhaps a gentle smile at the corners of her lips.

Xie Tingzhou pressed the letter to his chest, and his breathing was twitching with pain.

"Ayu... Ayu..." He murmured her name, raised his head, and tears dripped down his chin onto the letter paper.
