Chapter 189: Imprisonment

Li Zhaonian raised his eyes slightly.

Li Yanchang said slowly: "This is Shen Yu, the daughter of the late General Shen Zhongan!"

"Tell me! What's your plot to disguise yourself as a man and sneak into the palace?" Li Yanchang pressed forward step by step. "You rescued the deposed prince in the hunting ground and got promoted. I think this might be a plan that you and Li Jincheng jointly created!"

There was no panic on Shen Yu's face, she just looked at Li Jifeng quietly.

After Li Jifeng calmed down after being shocked, he realized that she had been staring at him.

Why is she staring at me? what can I do?

Suddenly an idea flashed in Li Jifeng's mind, and he winked at the chamberlain on the side. The chamberlain approached, and he whispered something, then looked at Shen Yu in the palace. This time she had lowered her eyes.

"What a woman!"

"Isn't General Shen's daughter Shen Yu dead?"

"This is the crime of deceiving the emperor."

Shen Yu remained silent in this chaotic discussion. It was too subtle that Li Yanchang chose to expose her at this time.

Her mind was racing. Li Yanchang kept the fact that she was a woman hidden and kept trying to win over her.

Now it is obvious that Li Yanchang has changed his mind, and she is already an abandoned child in Li Yanchang's heart.

Li Yanchang no longer tries to win over her, there must be an opportunity, what is it?

"Don't you dare to argue?" Li Yanchang said: "Come here, Shen Yu is a criminal who deceived the emperor, and she will be killed immediately!"

"It seems that it is not King Qi's turn to issue orders in this palace." Li Zhaonian said coldly.

Li Yanchang snorted contemptuously, "Fourth brother wants to protect her?"

Li Zhaonian did not answer his words, "Shen Yu is the queen of the imperial palace appointed by the emperor. Now that the emperor is not awake, we have to wait for the emperor to wake up before making any decisions."

"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is true." Jiang Yuanqing said: "Besides, although she is a woman, she is not inferior to a man. Why should we find out what she is planning."

Li Jifeng stood up and said, "In that case, let's chat while I go to the toilet."

Li Jifeng walked out of Xuanhui Hall and walked faster and faster along the corridor, but he was not going in the direction of Gongfang.

He rode his horse all the way to Beilin Palace, rushed in three steps at a time, and happened to see Xie Tingzhou sprinting out of Qingpu Residence.

Li Jifeng thought to himself that his secret wire was so damn fast that he almost died of running away all the way. Fortunately, fortunately, he understood Shen Yu's eyes at that time and almost caught up.

Li Jifeng stepped forward and stopped him, "You can't go."

"Get out of the way!" Xie Tingzhou stared at him.

Li Jifeng was panting and thought, what am I trying to do?

"It's Shigure, oh no, it was Shen Yu who asked me to come. You are usually so smart, why are you so stupid now? King Qi just wants you to go, do you understand or not?!"

Of course Xie Tingzhou understands.

He knew that as long as he made a move, King Qi would be able to link Shen Yu's crime of deceiving the king to him, and it would become Beilin's intention to rebel.

Li Jifeng kept up his efforts, "He just wants to force you out."

"I asked you to get out of the way." Xie Tingzhou said.

Li Jifeng jumped up and down in anger, "Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

"I'm not going into the palace." Xie Tingzhou said calmly, "I'm going to see two people."

Li Jifeng breathed a sigh of relief, and then he felt that his chest hurt from running just now. He rubbed his chest, "Let me tell you, Shen Yu was very calm in the palace just now. After Li Yanchang exposed her, she didn't make any rebuttal at all. She must have a plan in mind, she is so smart, don't be too impatient."

Xie Tingzhou lowered his eyes and whispered: "I know that she has been growing, and I will not hold her back."

Li Jifeng nodded, "If you need any help, we are all brothers. Just ask, but..."

He drawled, "But I'm just an idle king, so I can't make any difference."

Xie Tingzhou raised his eyelids and looked at him, "Now there is indeed something I need your help with."

"What?"

"Stop acting in front of me, I look tired." Xie Tingzhou said, turned around and left.

Li Jifeng stood there and smiled after a while. He looked at Xie Tingzhou's back and said, "Aren't you used to acting? This is the way to survive in the palace. Hey!"

Xie Tingzhou turned around in response and raised his eyebrows slightly to indicate that he had something to say.

"We are all actors. If the eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother, your acting is not as good as mine." Li Jifeng said with a smile.

Xie Tingzhou twitched the corner of his lips slightly and left without saying a word.

Shen Yu was not imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment or the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but was detained in Dali Temple.

This is not the first time she has entered Dali Temple. When she came to Beijing, she also stayed here in order to identify Ge Liangji.

The smell of damp hay on the hard bed was a bit unpleasant. She sat against the wall and buried her head in her arms.

She knew she wouldn't die, so she wasn't afraid, but she was panicked and had to figure things out in a short time.

After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly raised her head, as if telepathically, and saw Xie Tingzhou standing at the door of the cell.

The two looked at each other through the thorns. After a moment, Xie Tingzhou turned his head to signal to the jailer on the side.

The jailer opened the door and reminded: "Your Highness, only half an hour."

"Thank you." Xie Tingzhou said.

He stepped into the cell, walked forward and looked down at Shen Yu, "Are you afraid?"

Shen Yu looked at him. She was not afraid at first, but people are so strange. They can bear anything when no one cares about them. Once someone hurts, they learn to be weak.

"A little." She reached out and grabbed his finger, and Xie Tingzhou took it into his hand.

"Don't worry." Xie Tingzhou comforted, "I won't let anything happen to you."

The two of them didn't have much time left, and neither of them was the type to only care about their love affairs and ignore the overall situation.

Shen Yu said: "The imperial guards took me out of the palace to hand over to the Dali Temple, and asked the palace maids to search my body. Fortunately, I didn't keep the account book on me. The duty room in the palace must have searched it too."

"Has Emperor Tongxu seen it?" Xie Tingzhou asked.

"I have read it." Shen Yu said, "After reading it, he wanted to find Li Jincheng's confession, but the Ministry of Rites did not submit it that day. Then the news of Li Jincheng's death came, and he fainted before he could give any orders. Li Jincheng sent confessions for 15 consecutive days without any response from Emperor Tongxu. He stopped writing and must have made up his mind to die."

Xie Tingzhou frowned, "You are right not to submit the account book directly. Now the two parties are fighting, and the two are evenly matched. The prince can't suppress Li Yanchang. No matter what he comes up with at this moment, it will be a fight between the two parties. The prince will let people hold the handle and say that he excludes dissidents. We can only wait until Emperor Tongxu wakes up."

Shen Yu grabbed Xie Tingzhou's hand, "I'm afraid he won't wake up, or someone won't let him wake up."

Xie Tingzhou looked at her and motioned her to continue.

"Li Yanchang has tried to win me over many times but failed. Why did he deliberately expose me today?"

Xie Tingzhou: "He wants me to take action."

"No." Shen Yu said: "It will not do him any good if you take action at this moment. The first person he wants to deal with is not you, so why would he pull you in at this moment? I think the drama of our breakup has already worked."

Yes, Xie Tingzhou suddenly realized.

They usually hide very well. After Shen Yu took the position of Du Yuhou, she never set foot in Beilin Palace. Xie Tingzhou went to her house late at night, so no one should know.

"I thought about it for a long time." Shen Yu continued: "He kept it a secret for so long, but chose to expose me after this, because I have become a discarded child in his eyes."

Xie Tingzhou understood it at once, "He has a better candidate."

The two met eyes and uttered a name at the same time, "Jiang An."

Jiang An is the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards. The imperial guards are responsible for the important task of patrolling the palace. Once Shen Yu is eliminated, the entire palace is under Jiang An's control.
