Chapter 72 Heartbeat

The floor tile was the same as the other floor tiles in the courtyard, nothing special.

If you have to point out the difference, it is that the color of that tile is newer than the other tiles.

A terrible thought flashed through Shen Yu's mind. She lowered her eyes and stared at Shen Yan and asked: "Why did you change the brick at your door?"

Shen Yan's expression froze, "You also care about changing a brick?"

Her expression confirmed Shen Yu's guess.

She squatted down, and her hand was as fast as lightning, and she grabbed Shen Yan's neck, "I'll ask you again, where is the green medicine?"

Shen Yan was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe, and she pried her hand hard, "No... I don't know."

Several maids rushed over and were kicked to the ground by Shen Yu in two or three strokes.

"Don't... don't call anyone." Seeing the maid preparing to go out to call for help, Shen Yan said with difficulty.

Shen Yu knocked her to the ground, "Have you seen my yard? The brick at the door is full of patterns. Lu Yao likes to sit on the ground at the door and draw when she has nothing to do. Don't tell me that your maid has this hobby too."

Lu Yao must have come to Shen Yan and handed the letter to her, but Shen Yan still insisted on sending her a funeral.

What about Lu Yao? Where is Lu Yao now? Will it be...

Shen Yu didn't dare to think about it further.

Lu Yao knows kung fu, and the maids around Shen Yan must not be her opponents. I'm afraid they drugged her while she was off guard.

"You want money and status, I don't care about these, I can give them to you, but you shouldn't plot against me, and you shouldn't touch my people."

"I'll give you a deadline. I want to see Lu Yao within three days. This is the last chance I give you, because you are still the blood of my father left in this world. If I still can't see her after three days, then you will know what kind of person I am."

The footsteps gradually faded away.

Shen Yan suddenly got up from the ground and staggered out, "Aren't you afraid that I will expose you?!"

"Okay." Shen Yu stopped and looked back, "Don't forget that you held a funeral for me without permission, and you also had a share of deceiving the emperor. It's just that the nine clans will be executed. Aren't you Shen Yan among the nine clans? It's just right to go down together to apologize to my father."

Shen Yan's face turned pale in an instant.

They now hold each other's handles. She shouldn't be afraid of Shen Yu, but Shen Yan knows that she can't beat her.

Shen Yu came out of the Shen Mansion. There was no bright moon in the sky, and a thin drizzle was floating.

She looked back, and the bleak night wind rolled the lanterns on the door and swayed, and the figure was also blurred by the rain curtain.

This place can no longer be called home.

She sighed, turned around and walked back slowly.

But in a moment, a black shadow flashed on the eaves and disappeared into the darkness in a blink of an eye.

Lumingxuan is right next to the east gate of the palace. It only takes a short walk to get there.

A dog barked suddenly at the end of the path.

"Woof——"

Shen Yu looked up and saw a dog running towards her excitedly from the door of Lumingxuan.

"Dahuang!" Shen Yu ran two steps happily and squatted down to let Dahuang pounce on her.

Dahuang rubbed her legs and his tail was almost broken.

"Why are you here?" Shen Yu rubbed Dahuang's head and heard him bark twice.

There was another person standing at the door.

She looked up at Xie Tingzhou. The two looked at each other and understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

Shen Yu lowered her head, hugged Dahuang tightly, and confirmed again in disbelief, "Grandpa..."

"Come in." Xie Tingzhou said.

It was late, and Erya was dozing off in the corridor. Seeing the two people coming in, she rubbed her eyes and got up to serve tea and water.

Shen Yu lowered her head, as if she had been saying goodbye to different people since she was reborn.

First, her father, her brother, and then her grandfather...

She didn't know if this was a punishment, why did the only warmth have to ignore her?

Da Huang felt her depression and lay on the ground tightly against her legs.

Xie Tingzhou stood at the door. She was stronger than he thought, and he thought she would cry.

"My father-in-law left those huts to you, so that you can have a place to stay when you have nowhere to go."

Shen Yu raised her head and asked, "Is it painful for him to leave?"

Xie Tingzhou lied in her expectant eyes, "No pain."

Shen Yu nodded, even if it was comfort, she needed it at this moment.

Xie Tingzhou pursed his lips, his eyes fell on the back of her hand on her leg, and frowned slightly, "What's wrong with your hand?"

Shen Yu saw that there were several blood marks on the back of her hands, which should have been scratched by her when she pinched Shen Yan's neck.

"I was scratched by a dog." She said.

Da Huang raised his head and barked.

"It's not you," she touched Da Huang, "it's a mad dog. I thought she was as docile as you."

Xie Tingzhou heard what she meant and asked, "Where's the medicine?"

"What medicine?" Shen Yu asked.

Xie Tingzhou looked at her quietly, "Golden Wound Medicine."

"Oh," Shen Yu said, "I've used it up. I wonder if the doctor has any more."

Xie Tingzhou was speechless, "You've used up such a big bottle of medicine?"

Shen Yu nodded, "Yes, there are many wounds on the back. You don't know if you haven't seen it."

Xie Tingzhou turned his face away.

Why didn't he see it? It couldn't be seen more clearly. Now as long as he closes his eyes, he can still remember the scene at that time.

Xie Tingzhou turned his head and called out to the door. A secret guard jumped down from the roof and landed silently.

The secret guard came and went without a trace. After a moment, he presented a bottle of golden wound medicine and disappeared again.

Xie Tingzhou raised his hand and threw the medicine to her.

Shen Yu took it and took a look, "Not the same as last time."

The medicine was worth a thousand gold coins, but he didn't feel sorry for the money. The most important thing was that it was made by the master of the divine doctor Song Shi. The medicinal materials were hard to find, and there were only a few bottles in the world.

"You are not that precious." Xie Tingzhou said.

Shen Yu made a "tsk" sound and called Erya to bring water to clean her hands before applying it on the back of her hands.

The medicine was applied in a mess. Xie Tingzhou couldn't stand it after a while and stepped forward to take her medicine.

"Hand."

The two of them had applied medicine to each other for a long time on the road before, and they were already used to it.

It was a coincidence that both of them were injured on their arms along the way. If they were injured somewhere else, they could treat it themselves.

Xie Tingzhou's fingers were as slender as green bamboo, with slightly protruding joints. Such a pair of hands was pleasing to the eye no matter what they did.

Shen Yu stared at his hands for a moment, and his eyes moved up to Xie Tingzhou's face.

This face was pure and extraordinary, like a person from heaven, with mountains and rivers as eyebrows, stars and moons as eyes, charming when smiling, and heart-piercing when cold.

Shen Yu's heart suddenly beat abnormally, and her fingers curled up. She stared at his face and was inexplicably absent-minded for a while.
