Chapter 127 Sleeping Together
After putting Xie Tingzhou on the bed, Shen Yu lowered her head to look at the person on the bed. He was sleeping deeply and had lowered his guard.
"You take my bed." Shen Yu said.
Another voice in my heart said: "You also took his bed a few days ago."
She said dissatisfiedly: "You mess with my heart."
But who is not in trouble?
Didn't he spread himself out for her to see?
Shen Yu looked at him, feeling agitated in her heart, and finally sighed heavily, "Who is afraid of whom? It's not like I haven't slept at all."
After saying that, he lifted the quilt and got into bed, pushing Xie Tingzhou in.
She waved her sleeves, the lights in the room went out, and the moonlight sneaked in through the cracks in the window.
The room was very quiet, and the place under the quilt where he had slept was very warm. Shen Yu's breathing gradually became calmer in the darkness.
In the darkness, Xie Tingzhou slowly opened his eyes, turned sideways, and smoothed her slightly messy hair with his fingers. His eyes fell on her face and never moved away.
Xie Tingzhou woke up at dawn the next day.
Hangovers tend to give you headaches, and you can't sleep when you wake up, but he didn't get up because there was someone hanging on him, with his thighs draped over him and his hands on his waist.
He couldn't remember when he fell asleep last night.
Xie Tingzhou turned to look at her. She was sleeping soundly, her chin pressed tightly against his body, causing her mouth to pout slightly.
Xie Tingzhou curled his lips slightly, raised his hand and suddenly wanted to poke her.
I don't know how long she had been lying there, but Shen Yu showed no signs of waking up. Xie Tingzhou suddenly turned his head and looked out the window with unclear meaning.
He gently moved her hands and feet away, sat on the edge of the bed for a moment, and then stood up to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Lu Yao was stunned. This description made it look like the two of them slept together last night.
Xie Tingzhou had a large cloak casually draped over his shoulders. Underneath was a spotless white lining, but it was a pity that it was wrinkled from sleep.
He turned around and walked in. Chang Liu, who was holding a tray, immediately followed him in. The tray was placed on the table for Xie Tingzhou to change.
Changliu whispered: "The concierge at the east gate came to report that a waiter named Sixi came to see Shigure early in the morning, saying that there was something urgent."
Xie Tingzhou asked: "Where are the people?"
Changliu said: "We didn't dare to make a noise and let him stay in the concierge."
The two of them spoke very softly, for fear of disturbing the people in the room.
Xie Tingzhou glanced into the inner room, tied his belt and went in.
Changliu walked slowly on purpose and pricked up his ears to hear Xie Tingzhou shouting "Ayu" in a low voice.
"What time is it?" Shen Yu asked lazily.
"It's almost time."
"Why is it so late?"
"Well, don't sleep, get up and have breakfast."
It was the first time Changliu heard Xie Tingzhou speak in such a gentle voice. When he stepped out of the room, something stirred in his mind.
The voice inside didn't seem to be Shigure's. Why did it sound like a woman?
Unfortunately, he was distracted before he could think about it carefully, and the green medicine at the door caught him.
"The prince, he, he, he, he, he slept with our young master?"
Changliu was used to it, "Yeah, it's not the first time."
Lu Yao's face was full of shock, and he murmured after a long while: "The young master is so awesome, I will finally make her get what she wants."
Changliu heard some clues, thought for a moment, and asked: "You mean, Shigure has been plotting against our Highness for a long time?"
Lu Yao quickly waved his hand, "No, no."
Xie Tingzhou, who was studying abroad, narrowed his eyes, "No?"
Lu Yao took two steps back, and after thinking about it, it was not impossible to say, so he said: "My young master once said that the person she likes is Mr. Lan Yue, and he said it to Mr. Jiang."
Changliu looked solemn and heard Xie Tingzhou say in the room: "Go and bring that waiter in."
Si Xi came here early in the morning. San Fu stayed vigil at the inn last night. When she came back early this morning, she told him what happened.
The young master had told him before that he had something urgent to look for Shigure at the east gate of the palace, so he hurried over.
The palace was heavily guarded, and there were several posts at each step. Si Xi had never seen such a big battle. The most luxurious residence he had ever entered in his life was the residence of Liu Yuan's wife.
Sixi was brought in by the guards. She knelt on the ground without daring to raise her head. She could only smell the faint fragrance of food in the room.
Shen Yu said: "Get up and talk."
"Okay." Sixi stood up and secretly raised his eyes. There were two people sitting at the table. He lowered his eyes without daring to take a closer look. "My brother stayed vigil at the inn last night. He came back in the morning and said that something happened at the inn last night."
Shen Yu didn't ask, waiting for Si Xi to continue.
Sixi said: "There was a fire in the inn last night, and the fire was in the room where things were stored in the inn. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and it didn't start. Only a few things were burned."
Before Shen Yu could grasp the point of his matter, Si Xi had already taken off the baggage from his shoulders and spread it on the ground.
Si Xi continued: "Some people said that they saw a figure, and it was someone who deliberately set fire to it, but why did the room burn down? First someone went to look for the baggage, and then it caught fire. I wondered if someone was looking for something but couldn't find it. He came back to set the fire on purpose.”
Seeing Shen Yu nodding in agreement, Si Xi felt happy.
From that night when he went to the mass grave, he could see that the young master was not an ordinary person. If he wanted to work with the young master for a long time, he had to let the young master find that he was a useful person.
Everyone can snoop for information, but not everyone has a smart mind.
"So this morning I asked Sanfu to steal those people's baggage to see if I could find any clues."
Shen Yu said: "You did a good job."
She glanced at Lu Yao, who understood and stepped forward to reward him.
Shen Yu looked through those bundles last time and didn't find anything special. However, as Sixi said, someone deliberately set fire to it, which means that what they were looking for was not found. It was either in the bundle or there. On the old man.
Shen Yu was just about to get up to check the baggage, but was pulled back by Xie Tingzhou, "Use the food first, the things are right there, there's no rush."
Shen Yu sat down to eat again and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Yes." Sixi hesitated, "But..."
Shen Yu: "It's nothing, just tell me."
"Ah, okay." Sixi said: "That's right, there is something strange happening outside the city. It was reported from the vegetable farmers at Caishikou this morning. The Kapok Village outside the city is closest to the mass graves. Everyone smelled it last night. There was a strange smell, and I saw flames shooting into the sky over the mass graves.”
The more Si Xi spoke, the more excited she became: "Some brave people ran to see this morning. The corpses in the mass graves were burned. They were doused with kerosene. There were several kerosene barrels on the roadside. Last night, the villagers The smell is that of burning corpses..."
Shen Yu slowly put down her chopsticks.
Si Xi was confused: "...taste."
"Get out!" Xie Tingzhou suddenly said coldly.
Si Xi didn't know what she said was wrong, which offended the two masters. She was so frightened that she quickly kowtowed and said: "You are wrong, young master, please spare your life."
Shen Yu turned to look at Xie Tingzhou. He looked at Si Xi with a sullen look on his face, indicating that a storm was about to come.
"Okay." Shen Yu said, "You go down first."
They had all smelled the smell of burning corpses at Yanliang Pass, and after hearing what Si Xi said, the smell of rotten and burnt smell seemed to have not dissipated.
Shen Yu picked up the chopsticks again, but didn't move them for a long time.
Xie Tingzhou took the things in her hands and asked the maid to come in and clean them up.
"If you can't eat it, don't eat it. I'll have someone prepare some snacks for you later. What do you want to eat?"
