Chapter 174: Plea

The morning light spread out a white line on the horizon, and the sky was half bright.

There was a lot of noise in the palace last night, and Shen Yu didn't sleep all night. In the morning, she heard that the assassin had not been caught, and the sigh in her throat relaxed.

Outside Fengtian Hall, going to court every day is the same as before.

It turned out that Shen Yu was injured last night, and the commander Jiang An asked her not to be on duty. She was worried that if she didn't show up, Xie Tingzhou would definitely notice something unusual.

It's just that Xie Tingzhou came extra early today, maybe because he heard that something happened in the palace.

Xie Tingzhou raised his eyes and glanced at the steps. Shen Yu was still standing under the eaves, not in the same row as the civil and military officials.

He stepped forward and said, "Master Shi."

Shen Yu's eyes paused on his face for a moment, and then moved away, "Why does His Royal Highness want to see this official?"

Xie Tingzhou scanned her up and down and found nothing unusual about her.

"After all, you have been my bodyguard for so long, and now you turn your back on me as soon as you get promoted." He sighed and said, "Shigure, you are so ruthless."

Shen Yu pursed her lips, she didn't expect him to be so arrogant outside Fengtian Palace.

"The Crown Prince is joking. They are all doing errands for His Majesty. How can he turn his face and deny his presence? When meeting the Crown Prince, subordinates still have to bow as usual."

Xie Tingzhou crossed his arms and said, "Why don't we choose a day to meet the sun? Why don't we invite you to our house for a chat after the court today?"

Shen Yu said: "Sorry, I'm on duty today."

Xie Tingzhou smiled and said in a high tone: "This is your fault. You see that I am sincere, but you refused so simply. It hurts my heart."

Such words coupled with such a face really make people feel that they are somewhat ungrateful.

But how can people accept this?

Jiang An was originally standing four or five meters away from Shen Yu. Hearing this, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, my subordinate has made you unhappy?"

"It's quite unpleasant." Xie Tingzhou kept his gaze fixed, "Master Shi can't even invite me if I don't give you a compliment."

His behavior was seen by hundreds of officials, and everyone had different thoughts.

Li Yanchang stood beside Li Zhaonian and asked, "Fourth brother, do you think the two of them are falling out now is true or false?"

Li Zhao's age has nothing to do with him, "What does it have to do with me if it's true or false?"

Li Yanchang sneered and didn't bother to talk.

Jiang An saw that Shen Yu was trying to evade him in every possible way, but Xie Tingzhou was making things difficult in every possible way.

He was determined to protect Shigure and said: "There was an incident in the palace last night. The imperial guards and the palace chief have been unable to leave in the past few days. How about this, when we turn around and have time, I will come to make things easier for you two to settle the old feud. You What do you think?"

Xie Tingzhou glanced sideways, "Of course that's good, but I don't know if Du Yuhou will give me this face."

Shen Yu really wanted to say that enough is enough for you.

She stared into Xie Tingzhou's eyes and said, "His Highness's face will naturally be given to you by your subordinates. I wonder how much my face is worth?"

Looking at that look, Xie Tingzhou knew that he couldn't tease him any more, and he would be annoyed if he teased her any more.

"Nature is priceless." Xie Tingzhou said.

He had done enough drama today, so he stopped when he was ready. Li Jifeng happened to be late, so he went to the side to talk to Li Jifeng.

After Xie Tingzhou walked away, Jiang An spat: "It's too much for him to pester Xie Tingzhou like this. No wonder he comes to court for days. You must ignore him. Don't worry, he will work under my hand. I will protect him." With you.”

He couldn't get rid of Xie Tingzhou at that time, so he sympathized with her even more.

Shen Yu smiled and said, "Thank you, Commander."

"It's all little things."

After going down to court, Emperor Tongxu returned to Hanzhang Hall.

Shen Yu saw that his steps were sloppy, which meant that he was already empty inside. He relied on medicine and perseverance to hold him up. She didn't know which day the string would break when the medicine and stone had no effect, and it would be the time to die.

After Emperor Tongxu finished approving a bunch of memorials, Defu immediately took the hot tea. Emperor Tongxu took a sip and looked at Shen Yu at the door.

"I just heard today that you were injured last night, and I didn't see you mention it."

Shen Yu lowered her head and said, "I don't think I need to go to heaven to hear such trivial matters."

Emperor Tongxu put down the tea and asked again: "Is Anan still kneeling outside?"

Shen Yu said: "Yes."

"You go." Emperor Tongxu said, "Let him go back. I won't see him."

Shen Yu walked out of Hanzhang Hall and saw Pei Chunli kneeling upright at the foot of the steps.

The sun is shining brightly in May, and this is the time when the sun is at its most fierce.

Pei Chunli has been kneeling since morning. His cheeks are red from the sun, he is sweating profusely, and there are faint signs of heatstroke.

Shen Yu waved to the waiter to take the umbrella and walked down the steps.

Pei Chunli has been a noble person since he was a child. He has never suffered such hardship. He knelt down blankly, and a pair of shoes and a piece of the hem of a python robe appeared in his field of vision.

He slowly raised his head, saw the person coming, and immediately cried, "Ayu..."

"Go back." Shen Yu held the umbrella above his head, "Your Majesty won't see you."

Pei Chunli's lips were chapped, and they were torn as soon as he opened his mouth.

He grabbed the hem of Shen Yu's clothes and said, "Can you help me talk to my uncle? You are a popular person around him now. I only need a stick of incense, no, a cup of tea, okay?" "

Since his rebirth, Pei Chunli had provided her with help many times. The first time he asked her for help was because of Marquis Xuanping.

Marquis Xuanping emptied the southwest granary, leaving Yanliangguan empty of preparations for World War I. Although Liang Jianfang and Ge Liangji have been executed, can they clear up their relationship with Marquis Xuanping?

cannot.

The man in front of her was the son of her enemy, but he was the one who treated her best since her rebirth, besides Xie Tingzhou and her grandmother.

But what's wrong with him?

Shen Yu turned her face away, "Sorry, I can't."

Pei Chunli stared at her blankly, "Why? Aren't you going to help me?"

"I can't help you." Shen Yu said.

Two huge tears rolled down from Pei Chunli's eyes. Shen Yu really saw disappointment and sadness in those tears.

"I understand." Pei Chunli nodded slowly, "I understand."

"When a tree falls, the hozen scatters, and when a wall falls, everyone pushes it away." He murmured: "I begged many people. Those who usually stepped through the threshold and wanted to come to the door, but now I can't even see them. They say they are gone. Dad, I am the biggest waste in Shengjing, and now...even you ignore me."

Shen Yu's throat felt sore, "Pei Chunli, listen to me, even if you meet His Majesty, what can you change? Right and wrong are all matters of justice. If I help you, I will be sorry for those who died in vain."

"There's no verdict yet!" Pei Chunli shouted.

"I haven't found out yet. My father is not that kind of person. He told me to be a good person. He said I could be a playboy all my life, but I couldn't dirty myself. He even told me not to dirty myself. How could he be such a person? ?”

Shen Yu knelt down in front of him and said, "Anan."

Pei Chunli heard her call him by his nickname for the first time and looked at her blankly, "You want to help me, right?"

He still held out hope.
