Shen Yu looked at him for a long time, then she raised her lips and asked, "Why are you here?"

Xie Tingzhou said warmly: "It's raining, I'll pick you up."

In an instant, the heavy rain in my heart turned into a continuous spring rain.

Shen Yu's lips trembled, the corners of her eyes were sore, and she suddenly wanted to cry.

Xie Tingzhou stepped forward, handed her the umbrella, untied his cloak and put it on her shoulders, took the umbrella back from her hand, grabbed her wrist, and led her down the mountain, his movements so natural.

Shen Yu lowered her eyes and saw that his sleeves were so big that they covered their hands. The place where the sleeves met seemed to have a thread drilled into it, spreading along her bloodline and not knowing where it was tied.

The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain. After getting on the carriage, Xie Tingzhou took a closer look at her face.

She looked like she had just been fished out of the water, her hair was sticking to her face in wet strands, and her lips were white.

It was already spring, and there was no heater in the carriage. The tea on the table had gone cold all the way to find her.

"Why don't you know how to hold an umbrella when it rains?" Xie Tingzhou asked.

"I was beaten and blown away by the wind." His tone sounded a little aggrieved.

As soon as Emperor Tongxu issued the edict, the Yamen posted a notice, and Shen Yu knew the verdict.

There is no doubt that Ge Liangji and Liang Jianfang were part of the defeat at Yanliang Pass. Although this case did not go deeper, it finally took a crucial step.

They were punished. Shen Yu wanted to tell her father and brother the news, so she left the city and went up the mountain.

Later, the mountain wind blew away the umbrella, and she took shelter under a tree. Unexpectedly, the rain got heavier as she waited.

The mountain road was rugged, it was rainy, there was no moon, and it was dark. It was difficult to walk on the road. If you accidentally stepped on the air, you might fall off the cliff. She didn't go down the mountain until the rain had subsided.

The city gate had been closed long ago. She originally wanted to go down the mountain and find a dilapidated temple to rest for the night, but she didn't expect that Xie Tingzhou would come to pick her up.

Xie Tingzhou opened the cabinet under the couch and took out one of his own robes.

Sometimes when I go out to meet friends or guests, I always have a robe in the car in case I spill wine or need to change.

"Take off your wet clothes and wear this." Xie Tingzhou said and closed his eyes.

Shen Yu felt cold all over, and her soaked clothes clung to her body like a layer of wet waterweed, making her feel uncomfortable.

She had been soaked in the rain all day and couldn't get warm. It got colder after dark and her head felt dizzy.

She looked at Xie Tingzhou. He straightened his back, closed his eyes, and put his hands on his knees, as if he had fallen into trance.

She often said that people in the world don't stick to trivial matters. If she cares about these things, it would appear that she is a villain. Besides, there is really no need to be in trouble with her own body.

Shen Yu took off her cloak, turned her back, and took off the soaked clothes clinging to her body, leaving the innermost coat on, and put on Xie Tingzhou's clothes outside.

The middle coat is thin and should be dried by body heat in a short time.

"alright."

Xie Tingzhou opened his eyes after another moment, and saw her sitting upright, wrapped in his loose robe, as if she was wearing an adult's clothes, which was a bit naughty.

Shen Yu asked: "The city gate has been closed for so long, how did your highness get out of the city?"

Xie Tingzhou did not reply, but asked: "Have you already known the results of the palace trial?"

"I know," Shen Yu nodded and said, "Although it is not satisfactory, this result is actually what I expected. Things in the world can never go as planned. Fortunately, there are other clues and we can check them from other places."

Xie Tingzhou picked up the cloak and threw it on her, "It's good if you can think about it."

Xie Tingzhou originally thought that if she was dissatisfied with the result, she might go to the graves of her father and brother to cry, or she might impulsively do something difficult to end, but she didn't expect that she had already convinced herself.

It has only been a few months, and she has grown so fast, which is both gratifying and distressing at the same time.

Growth is a process of constant shaping, and she is constantly shaping herself.

Shen Yu wrapped her cloak tightly, hugging her knees and huddled up under the cloak, "The case was too sloppily concluded. Someone must have been obstructing it and didn't want to involve more people."

Xie Tingzhou didn't say what he saw in the palace, but asked, "What do you think?"

Shen Yu thought for a while and said: "The robbery of grain and grass seems to have nothing to do with this case. In fact, they should be investigated together as one case. They deliberately separated them, maybe because they were afraid of pulling out the carrots and bringing out the mud. This case is a palace case." Judgment, no matter who is covering up, Emperor Tongxu has already acquiesced to this result. "

"Do you think Emperor Tongxu was involved?" Xie Tingzhou asked.

The lamp on the table flickered, and her face flickered, and there seemed to be a blush on her face.

Shen Yu said: "I have thought about this possibility for a long time today. If he is involved, but the series of events contradicts it."

Xie Tingzhou signaled, "Speak boldly."

Shen Yu frowned and said: "Only the peaceful emperors in the world are afraid of their great achievements and will shock their master, so they consider killing the donkey. Now that the world is in such chaos and the vassal king is so powerful..."

Nowadays, Beilin is the most powerful among the vassal kings.

She paused and added: "I'm not targeting you."

"Shen Jiajun is the sharpest knife in Emperor Tongxu's hand. If this knife is gone, the person who should feel the most chill is Emperor Tongxu himself."

Xie Tingzhou nodded in agreement.

Nowadays, there are many difficulties in the DPRK. There are not enough garrison troops at Yanliang Pass. Emperor Tongxu did not dare to hand over Yanliang Pass to Beilin, so he could only mobilize troops from various places to make up for it.

The whole body was involved, making it difficult to mobilize troops to suppress the bandits, and it was delayed until the beginning of spring.

As her body gradually warmed up, Shen Yu's head began to feel heavy.

She calmed down and continued: "How could Emperor Tongxu risk his country? Moreover, even if he wanted to kill the donkey, he would not bury a hundred thousand soldiers with him in such a childish way. He would definitely make a plan. It’s safe, there are hundreds of ways to retain troops.”

Xie Tingzhou said: "Although Emperor Tongxu did not take the lead in this matter, he acquiesced."

There are taboos that even he, as an emperor, dare not touch, or do not want to touch, or that once revealed will cause violent turmoil in the court.

Shen Yu murmured: "He is protecting someone, or he wants to desperately hold down Da Zhou's fig leaf."

Xie Tingzhou looked at her sleepy face through the candlelight and was not ready to continue answering.

He then saw her forcefully opening her eyes to wake up, "Ge Liangji decided to kill him without waiting for the Queen of Autumn. I'm afraid he was just worried about the long nights and dreams, so he wanted to cut off the source here."

After all, she couldn't resist the sleepiness, her voice became smaller and smaller, and gradually, she dropped her head on her knees.

After a while, Xie Tingzhou estimated that she had fallen asleep, so he reached out to gather her loose cloak.

Unexpectedly, with a slight tug, she fell over towards him.
