Chapter 53 He Thanked Tingzhou for the End

Xie Tingzhou ignored him and pressed the black piece on the chessboard. Li Jifeng looked down for a long time, "You really don't leave me any more."

He waved his hand, and the eunuch standing beside him skillfully took out a silver note from his sleeve and placed it respectfully on the couch.

There was already a small stack of silver notes, all of which were denominations of 1,000 taels.

Xie Tingzhou didn't even look at it, and asked while weighing the chess piece in his hand: "Still playing?"

Li Jifeng looked at the eunuch, who spread his hands and made a sad face, indicating that he had no money.

"No more playing," Li Jifeng stroked the piece, "You are too stingy, what kind of friendship do we have? That is the friendship of clapping hands for the same person breaking his leg, and you still charge me for playing chess with me!"

Xie Tingzhou threw the piece into the basket, "I won't play even if others offer me silver."

The maid stepped forward and took away the chessboard quickly and put the tea and snacks on it again.

Li Jifeng glanced at the maids and asked, "Why didn't you bring those beauties I sent to you last year?"

"I gave them away." Xie Tingzhou said indifferently.

"Give them away?!" Li Jifeng raised his voice, "Did you give away the most beautiful one too?"

"I gave it away."

Li Jifeng covered his chest and said with great sorrow, "Xie Yun! I didn't even want to use that girl myself, and I kept her for you, and you just gave her away?! If you don't want her, give her back to me."

Xie Tingzhou picked up the teacup and skimmed the foam, "I thought you didn't want her, so you gave her to me."

Li Jifeng felt distressed when he thought about it, just like secretly keeping the snacks that he didn't even want to eat to give to others, but they just threw them away.

"Where's Cang?"

"In the next yard."

"Let it out," Li Jifeng rolled up his sleeves and said as if he was going to do something big, "Let it out and bite me to death, I've thrown my sincerity into the water, and you..."

"Xifeng." Xie Tingzhou interrupted him.

"No, no, no," Li Jifeng hurriedly smiled and held Xie Tingzhou's arm, "I'm kidding, don't put it down, don't put it down, that guy looks like he wants to eat me every time he sees me."

He picked up a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth, and he saw Xie Tingzhou staring at the dessert in his hand.

That look was a little strange, as if a little annoyed.

Li Jifeng took a look at it himself, chewing the dessert and said, "You're not so stingy, are you? It's just a piece of pineapple cake."

Xie Tingzhou's eyes did not move, which made Li Jifeng feel scared, and he trembled and put the remaining half of the pineapple cake in his hand back to the plate.

"I'll give it back to you."

Xie Tingzhou didn't say anything, staring at the dessert on the table.

Why did he think of Shi Yu?

He remembered that they played chess on the way back to Beijing. At first, he was well-behaved, but later he was bored on the way to Beijing with the escort agency, so he bought a chess set.

Shi Yu's arrangements were quite good, with hot tea and desserts. He remembered that one of the things Shi Yu liked very much was pineapple cakes.

Often, before a game is over, a stack of pineapple cakes is gone.

Xie Tingzhou suddenly felt annoyed. He raised his fingers and pressed his eyebrows hard.

Li Jifeng felt that the Xie Tingzhou he met this time was a little unusual.

It wasn't long since they separated, just the year before last. They occasionally exchanged letters, but he had never seen Xie Tingzhou so deeply troubled.

Li Jifeng couldn't think of anything that could make Xie Tingzhou so upset. He looked a bit like his sixth brother who found out that the girl he just married actually liked his seventh brother. At that time, his sixth brother had the same expression.

"Are you..." Li Jifeng circled around him, "Are you the girl you like who actually likes someone else?"

Xie Tingzhou looked at him like an idiot, "Are you full? If you are, get out."

Li Jifeng drank a few sips of hot tea and didn't even finish a piece of pineapple cake. How could he be full?

But he felt that if he didn't leave, Xie Yun might really let Cang out to bite him.

Li Jifeng walked out angrily.

Changliu immediately stepped forward to lead the way and comforted him: "Don't be angry, Ninth Prince. The prince just encountered some troubles these days. It will be fine in a few days."

Li Jifeng became energetic, "What troubles?"

Changliu said: "It's not a big deal. There is just a guard in prison."

"Is Xie Yun sick? Why is he upset about locking up a guard? Did the guard stab him?" Li Jifeng asked curiously.

Changliu thought that it was more than just stabbing, but stabbing his heart.

Then he smiled and said: "I don't know, Ninth Prince, please come this way."

Li Jifeng thought about it and suddenly stopped, "Take me to see, I want to see who is the sacred person."

"That won't work." Changliu refused immediately.

Li Jifeng hooked Changliu's neck, "What are you afraid of? I'll just take a look. What if I can think of a way to persuade him after I take a look?"

Changliu thought it seemed okay, it was just a look, and Xie Tingzhou didn't tell him not to see anyone.

The dungeon was dim, with torches on the wall.

Shen Yu was sleeping when Li Jifeng went there.

She lay on her side on the straw mat. The quilt on her body was a little thin, which couldn't block the cold in the dungeon. She curled up into a ball.

Li Jifeng grabbed the railing and looked inside. Under the dark quilt was a white little face, which looked very pitiful.

"He, he, he is a man?" Li Jifeng asked.

Changliu said as a matter of course: "Can the guards be women?"

Li Jifeng thought about it, stared at Shen Yu for a long time, and shook his head, "It's over, Xie Tingzhou is over."

"What does the Ninth Prince mean?" Changliu asked in confusion.

Li Jifeng strode out, "A boy with a feminine appearance, neither male nor female, spending time together day and night, falling in love with each other over time, ah - stay forever!"

Li Jifeng turned around, "Have you noticed that my writing has improved? I just said four idioms in a row."

Chang Liu was speechless: "..."

How could Xie Tingzhou make such a friend?

Beilin has 100,000 mercenaries. Originally, it was a taboo for the prince and the prince of Beilin to meet, but Li Jifeng was different.

He, Li Jifeng, was the ninth son of Emperor Tongxu. He was famous for being unlearned. Even if he made friends with Xie Tingzhou, no one would interfere, because everyone believed that he was a useless person.

Fortunately, he was born in an imperial family and had no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

Changliu laughed dryly and said, "Indeed, His Highness the Ninth Prince speaks eloquently and with brilliant literary talent."

"I think so too." Li Jifeng said cheerfully, "Where was I just now?"

Changliu replied, "Time grows with love."

Li Jifeng: "Yes! Time grows with love, he is done with Xie Tingzhou."

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, you are going the wrong way." Seeing Li Jifeng who was so excited that he went the wrong way, Changliu reminded him in time.

"I have to verify one thing first." Li Jifeng strode towards Xie Tingzhou's yard, "My best friend is going through a big problem in his life, how can I abandon him at this moment!"
