Chapter 154 Sorry

Shen Yu was covered with frost and dew all the way, and she was riding fast, but she couldn't catch up with Xie Tingzhou.

In time, she finally arrived at the palace.

The door of Qingpu Residence was closed tightly, and the guards were guarding the entrance. It was obvious that Xie Tingzhou had returned.

Shen Yu was about to go in, but the guard moved to the side and blocked the door.

Changliu sat on the eaves, folded his arms and said, "Your Highness has been traveling all night and just fell asleep. You can come back later."

Shen Yu thought about it. It would be better to go to the Ministry of War to get a job and then come back to him.

Changliu looked at her leaving back and couldn't help but muttered: "The person I provoked doesn't know how to coax him and leave as soon as he wants, so why don't he be thick-skinned and stalk him."

Shen Yu went to the Ministry of War, and the people in the Ministry of War all acted based on Shangshu Wen Hongyuan's expression.

Wen Hongyuan's nephew Wen Lesheng had just committed murder. If he lost his job, he might not even be able to save his life. Now that someone with a high-level position has come, the people from the Ministry of War will naturally go to great lengths to make things difficult for him.

It was already evening when we returned, and Qingpu House was still the same as it was in the morning.

The guard stopped him again, "Your Highness, please rest."

Shen Yu glanced at the sky. It was not dark yet, so resting was just an excuse. There was no need to rest all day.

Shen Yu discussed with Konwei: "It's convenient for us to work together for such a long time."

The guard looked around to make sure there was no one on the eaves, and lowered his voice to remind, "His Highness will close the door when he comes in the morning and see no one. Maybe if you come tomorrow morning, his anger will be gone."

He had no choice but to issue an order in the yard that no one could disturb him.

Now the Imperial Guards all know that Shigure is born as a girl, and their relationship with His Highness is naturally different. However, no one in this order clearly points to Shigure, and no one dares to take Xie Tingzhou's order seriously.

Shen Yu can't wait until tomorrow morning.

Today, I received an order from the Ministry of War to suppress the bandits sooner rather than later. The troops had been ordered before Wen Lesheng's accident, and she was asked to set off early tomorrow morning.

Shen Yu thought for a while, "Then I won't embarrass you."

After saying that, she stumbled into the courtyard. Konoe didn't expect that she would force her way in, and before he could stop her, he heard the sound of fighting in the courtyard.

The secret guards were flying over, and they wanted to stop them, but they didn't dare to draw their swords, so they could only greet them with their bare hands.

Shen Yu's punch was so powerful that the secret guard felt a strong wind coming from it. The secret guard was surprised when their arms collided.

He had never fought against Shigure, but he had seen her use the sword that night. She was flexible and elegant, but he did not expect that she, a woman, could be so fierce in her boxing skills.

The secret guard slid his foot in an arc, "We don't need to take action, right?"

"Then don't stop me!" Shen Yu's second move came one after another. One kick in the air missed, then she spun around and kicked again.

The secret guard took a hard kick, calculated exactly where she would land, and then swept her legs.

There was a fierce fight here, Xi Feng folded his arms under the eaves and watched, Chang Liu sat on the stone steps with his hands flat on his legs and watched.

He glanced into the room and asked quietly: "There is so much movement outside, why is there no movement inside?"

Xifeng was watching intently when he saw the secret guard seizing the opportunity to grab Shigure's arm. He had strong arm strength and lifted it hard.

Shen Yu's feet left the ground and she was lifted up by him. Her body took advantage of the momentum and flew into the air. She flew up quickly, kicked off the tree with her feet, turned around and attacked the secret guard again.

Changliu tugged at Xifeng's robe, "What happened at the Hakusan Hunting Ground? Why did the Crown Prince and Shigure break up?"

"Don't just use the word break." Xifeng said, "Children don't understand the world of adults."

Changliu let out a "hum" and propped up his chin to look at it for a while, "Her fighting style is so messy and complicated, I can't even tell which school she comes from."

"It seems messy, but in fact it is well integrated."

"Isn't that just talking about me?" Changliu raised his head and said proudly: "Master praised me in the same way."

Xifengxun glanced at him and struck: "Look at his moves, they are a combination of talent and hard work. How different from you, who is lazy every day and still does well in Qinggong."

"What's wrong with Qinggong? It's most useful when you're running away."

Changliu looked at it for a while and concluded: "She's not as good at Qinggong as me, and I'm not as good at anything else, so it's even, we're evenly matched."

Xifeng sneered back at him, "Do you have any idea?"

Changliu asked again: "You said she is powerful, but why can't she win after such a long time?"

"Brother will teach you." Xifeng said, "She kept her hand, not to win at all, but just to test."

"Are you testing the depth of the secret guard brother's kung fu?"

Xifeng shook his head and pointed at the person in the room, "She understands His Highness's attitude even if he doesn't make such a big noise."

Sure enough, Shen Yu stopped her hand the next moment and did not attack again.

She glanced at the door that was lit but closed, and her eyes suddenly felt a little sore. She took half a step back to the dark place under the eaves, and clasped her fists towards the secret guard.

"excuse me."

The secret guard cupped his fists and responded, "Thank you for your mercy."

Shen Yu said nothing more.

Changliu seemed to see her smile at him, but it was ugly. Then he turned around, opened the courtyard door step by step and walked out.

Changliu stood up and clapped his hands, "No chance."

When he turned around, he saw that the window of the study room was open with a palm-wide crack. Xie Tingzhou was looking back from the courtyard door, staring at the light on the table, slightly lost in thought.

At dawn the next day, the secret guards welcomed Shen Yu again.

This time she climbed over the wall again, but she didn't do anything directly. She just stood in the yard for a while, and then said to him: "I won't make things difficult for you. I'll just say a few words and leave."

For some reason, her eyes made people feel a little lonely, and the secret guards retreated into the shade of the trees.

Shen Yu walked forward a few steps and stopped at the bottom of the stairs.

It was only three steps, but that was a gap she couldn't cross.

She knew what he was angry about. She took the initiative and started planning yesterday's situation from blaming Wen Lesheng. Things went as she expected, and nothing went wrong.

The only thing she didn't calculate was him.

The courage on her shoulders was heavy, and the road was long and dangerous, but if all he wanted was long-term companionship, she couldn't do it.

Shen Yu bent down and put down a small box. She thought about it. In fact, she had a lot to say, but she felt that all the words could not fully express her inner feelings.

She knew clearly that she liked him and wanted him, but she couldn't force him to compromise for her.

"I..." Shen Yu paused for a moment, raised her head and held back her tears.

"I'm sorry, I can't be a dodder."

She turned around after saying this.

This time she walked very fast, with a resolute step, unlike last night when she walked slowly, as if she was waiting for someone to call her.
