Chapter 83 Why Are You so Weak?

The anger in Xie Tingzhou's heart turned into a raging fire at this moment, burning all the way to his throat.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

"Xie Tingzhou!" Shen Yu couldn't help but call him by his name.

Xie Tingzhou turned around suddenly, staring at her like a hawk.

Every time he took a step forward, she took a step back, until there was no more room for retreat, and her back was against the pillar.

Sometimes he really wanted to tear her apart, to tear her apart to see what was so special about her.

But he didn't want to, because when this face smiled, when this mouth chattered, it would make him feel that his heart, which had been silent for many years, seemed to have a tendency to stir.

Xie Tingzhou was so embarrassed.

He lowered his eyebrows, "I remember, you said that your life is mine."

There was a faint pine scent on him, lingering in her nose.

Shen Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, but now she felt that this smell could easily make people depressed and relax their willpower.

She turned her head and said, "I'm done. If your Highness wants it, take it."

Xie Tingzhou snorted, "Didn't you just call me Xie Tingzhou? You're really brave."

Shen Yu frowned and complained, "If I had called you at the beginning, you would have agreed. Why would I have called your name?"

There were hurried footsteps in the corridor. Xie Tingzhou glanced at the end of the corridor. Zhong Bo was dragging his old body to chase him, followed by two servants who were afraid that he would fall.

Xie Tingzhou stepped back slightly and said, "I won't interfere with your friendship, but you'd better not get too close to Pei Chunli."

Shen Yu raised her head and asked in confusion, "Why?"

"His father is Xuanping Hou," Xie Tingzhou said slowly, "Xuanping Hou is a prince's party. Now Emperor Tongxu is almost dead. You should understand the connection between them."

Shen Yu thought for a moment and nodded half-knowingly.

Xie Tingzhou added: "Emperor Tongxu is about to die. There are open and covert struggles in the court. Now there are many princes fighting for power. With so many princes, don't one or two of them want to replace him?"

Zhong Bo hurried over with his men. As soon as he approached, he heard such an important sentence about the court. He was so scared that his legs went weak.

Can you say this? That would be a death sentence.

Zhong Bo hurriedly turned around and left with his men, while telling his servants to keep their mouths shut.

Fortunately, they were all brought from Beilin and were trustworthy.

Xie Tingzhou looked over Shen Yu's head and saw that Zhong Bo had left with his men.

He said lightly: "Now all parties are watching from the sidelines. It is risky to take sides too early."

"Whose side does Your Highness stand on?" Shen Yu suddenly asked: "Behind Your Highness is Beilin and 100,000 Qingyun Guards. There should be many people who want to win them over."

Xie Tingzhou narrowed his eyes and retracted his gaze, "What if I say that I stand on my own side?"

Shen Yu was stunned and suddenly stared at him with wide eyes.

Xie Tingzhou suddenly turned his head and smiled, "I'm just teasing you. This court has been in tatters for a long time. Who would like to be in such a mess..."

Shen Yu covered his mouth with one hand, looked around cautiously, and said in a deep voice: "You are crazy, you can say this."

Her palm was slightly warm, and there were tiny calluses on her palm from years of holding a knife, but other places were very soft.

Xie Tingzhou opened his lips and said softly: "Only you can hear here."

As he spoke, his thin lips slid on her palm, and the soft heat fell on her palm.

Shen Yu suddenly retracted her hand, rubbed it behind her back, and felt that her palm was itchy, and it itched all the way into her heart.

Could it be that Xie Tingzhou's mouth was poisonous?

Xie Tingzhou saw her action and lowered his head and said, "I don't care if you want to make friends with Pei Chunli, but don't drag Beilin Palace into the water."

What a heavy hat, put it directly on her forehead like this, would she dare to move? It's even more effective than Sun Wukong's tight hoop curse.

Shen Yu snorted and said, "I can't bear this crime."

A gust of wind came, and Xie Tingzhou covered his lips and coughed twice.

Shen Yu stood in the direction of the wind and couldn't help complaining, "Why are you so weak?"

Her subconscious action made Xie Tingzhou's heart soften suddenly.

He let out a chuckle from his throat, "If you grow taller, maybe you can block the wind for me."

Isn't this a disguised way of saying that she is short.

Shen Yu: "You——"

"Go back." Xie Tingzhou said gently.

He had seen Zhong Bo standing in the distance for a long time, as if he had something to say.

Shen Yu looked in the direction and received a glare from Zhong Bo from afar.

She said with a sad face: "Zhong Bo seems to dislike me even less."

This time, Shen Yu, who was always likable and invincible, finally hit a wall with Zhong Bo.

Shen Yu brushed past Zhong Bo and glared at her fiercely as he passed by, as if he wanted to cut her.

She didn't know where she had offended Zhong Bo, and it seemed that he had been complaining about her since she entered the mansion.

Zhong Bo approached and advised: "There is a strong wind in the courtyard, and your highness has not recovered from his injuries. You should go back to your room to rest."

Xie Tingzhou nodded, and Zhong Bo followed him back to Qingpuxuan. After thinking about it, he felt that he should still make suggestions.

"Your Highness." Zhong Bo said respectfully, "Yu was not trustworthy at that time, and had an unclear relationship with the young marquis."

Xie Tingzhou raised his eyes slightly, "Why is it unclear?"

Zhong Bo is a law-abiding person who abides by the rules and fulfills his duties. He should not gossip about others behind their backs.

But the prince's instructions before leaving are still ringing in his ears.

The old prince said, "Tingzhou is the only one in Beilin who can take on the great task. If he takes that path that will never be repeated, I will be ashamed of my ancestors. It is better for me to die."

At that time, the prince wiped his tears symbolically. Although Uncle Zhong saw that the corners of his eyes were dry, he did not reveal it.

The old prince also said: "Just tell him this situation and tell him that he can take those concubines if he doesn't want them. If you dare to give them back to me, I will go to Beijing to find him myself."

"And more," before leaving, the prince took hold of Uncle Zhong and said, "try to get rid of the guard next to him. You said that he was fine in Beilin in the past. Although he was not flirtatious with women, But he’s not a manly woman either. Why did he become like this in just a few months?”

Uncle Zhong has been staying in the palace since he was a child, and he rose to the position of general manager from a young boy. Now that he has accepted this important task, he must do his best to live up to the important responsibility entrusted to him by the prince.

Thinking of this, Uncle Zhong suddenly became energetic and said righteously: "He was secretly communicating with the young marquis. I heard that the young marquis himself said that the two of them were in the same room back then, and they...hey, It’s really hard for me to speak.”

"You must tell me every word." Uncle Zhong pointed to someone, it was the maid who was in the hall just now.

The little maid knelt down tremblingly, lamenting how she got involved in this turmoil.

Everyone in the family knew how indulgent His Highness was towards Shigure. He could come in and out as he pleased on weekdays without mentioning it, and even assigned him a courtyard with a maid.

Moreover, it was said that in order to prevent Shigure from falling in love with the maid for a long time, His Highness actually paired him with a teenage girl.

This is to nip the signs in the cradle. It shows how cautious His Highness is in guarding him. Now that a young prince suddenly appears, His Highness will not become angry and kill those who hear it.

If I had known, I might as well have been deaf.
