Chapter 21: The Grace of Saving Lives

Xu Tingyu's side was in dire straits, and Zhao Shicheng, who was in the imperial study, didn't know at all.

"Did my father say that all the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace who guarded the night pearl were killed?"

The emperor's eyes swept over Zhao Shicheng, "You came to me in a hurry, just for this?" ”

"Can't do it for this?"

"It's rare for my emperor to be so nervous about a woman."

The emperor smiled and sighed.

"Nervous? Where did the father see that his son was nervous? ”

Zhao Shicheng listened to the emperor's words, and always felt that everything was weird, so he opened his mouth to refute.

"The emperor is not nervous?" The emperor looked at Zhao Shicheng in surprise, and then nodded again, "Yes, don't be nervous, it's just the first time I've come to me for a woman's business." ”

These words were even more weird, Zhao Shicheng looked the emperor up and down, "What does the father want to say?" It's better to go around and around, than to say it directly. ”

"Oh!" The Emperor nodded.

"Does the emperor like that Xu Tingyu?"

"Poof!"

"Ahem, ahem......"

Zhao Shicheng put down the teacup and hurriedly patted his chest.

After a long time, Zhao Shicheng relieved himself and looked at the emperor with disgust, "Isn't my father busy with government affairs recently?" I don't have to think about these! ”

"Yes, no? Did the emperor say, did you bring Xu Tingyu into the East Palace to live for a few days, or did you carry Xu Tingyu back to the East Palace yesterday, or did you ...... Come here today to inquire about Xu Tingyu? The Emperor teased.

Zhao Shicheng pouted, "Father thinks too much." ”

"Oh? Is it really too much for me? I still think about it, give you and Xu Tingyu a marriage or something. ”

"What?!"

Zhao Shicheng looked at the emperor in shock, saw the emperor's face regretful, and waved his hand again and again.

"Don't! Father, don't! Erchen just thinks that Xu Tingyu is an interesting girl, and teases her to play, but he has no other ideas! ”

The Emperor raised an eyebrow.

Zhao Shicheng sighed, "Erchen said that if you don't like it, you don't like it, if you meet someone you like, you won't be able to marry when the time comes!" ”

"It's done, but if you like a young lady from any family, you must tell your father, and your father will give you a counselor."

"Father, don't worry!"

"But then again, if Xu Tingyu can't find the Night Pearl within a month, his father won't really want to kill her, right?" Zhao Shicheng frowned.

Hearing this, the emperor didn't answer, but looked at Zhao Shicheng with a smile.

Zhao Shicheng approached the emperor with a solemn face, "Father, this matter can be regarded as because of me, if Xu Tingyu really can't find the Night Pearl, forget about this matter, okay?" ”

The smile in the emperor's eyes was even worse.

Zhao Shicheng, who was furious by the emperor, had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly said: "If you don't speak, your son will be your acquiescence!" ”

"I ......"

As soon as the emperor opened his mouth to say a word, Zhao Shicheng hurriedly interrupted.

"You have no jokes!"

After speaking, Zhao Shicheng turned around and was about to leave.

"The imperial study is now just you and me, your set doesn't work, be careful that when the time comes, my father will beat you up, treat you with a false holy decree, and let you be locked up in the East Palace for a few years."

The emperor looked at Zhao Shicheng's back and said with a smile.

Zhao Shicheng paused and turned around.

"Huh!"

"You also know, you have no jokes, I said in the palace of the concubine, in front of everyone's eyes, how can I be untrustworthy?" The emperor explained.

Zhao Shicheng continued to sneer.

The Emperor groaned, and after a moment spoke, "Or, you beg for me?" Maybe I'll agree? ”

Zhao Shicheng rolled his eyes without hesitation, "Father, are you stupid to be a minister?" ”

"You try, maybe as soon as you plead, I will be soft-hearted, and I will not be ashamed!" The emperor persuaded.

"Huh!"

"Instead of believing that you are shameless than your father, Erchen still prefers to believe that Xu Tingyu will not have an accident at all."

Zhao Shicheng thought about what Xu Tingyu had done before, and lowered his eyes with determination.

"Your Majesty, General Chen Su asks to see you."

The steward and eunuch walked in and told the emperor.

Zhao Shicheng frowned, "Chen Su? Prince Ben asked him to follow Xu Tingyu, why did he come here? Let him in! ”

The steward eunuch looked at the emperor, and the emperor looked at Zhao Shicheng's frowning brows meaningfully and nodded.

Chen Su walked in, approached Zhao Shicheng after saluting, and hurriedly spoke, "Just now, my subordinates went to Concubine Yao with Miss Xu, and my subordinates were guarding outside the palace, I don't know why, Concubine Yao suddenly called two strong grandmothers to go in, Miss Xu is afraid that ......"

"You know how to cause trouble!"

"Father, the sons and daughters will retire first, and come back to talk to their father another day."

The emperor nodded, watching Zhao Shicheng leave with the wind, and slowly smiled on his face.

And Zhao Shicheng didn't have such a good mood, and his eyes were full of coldness when he glanced at Chen Su.

"What the hell is going on? Why did you take Xu Tingyu to Concubine Yao?! ”

Chen Su lowered his head and quickly said the matter, Zhao Shicheng's brows frowned tighter, and his steps were bigger.

"This prince's people, it's not your turn to discipline Concubine Yao, right?"

Hearing the voice, Xu Tingyu's eyes lit up, and when she looked sideways, she saw Zhao Shicheng looking at her coldly.

"The people of this prince are not sensible, this prince brought back to the East Palace to be punished, Concubine Yao should have no opinion, right?"

"Hongu ......"

"Concubine Yao still wants to talk again!"

Zhao Shicheng said, looking at Concubine Yao's eyes.

Concubine Yao shuddered and gritted her teeth, "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is extremely true. ”

Zhao Shicheng retracted his gaze with satisfaction and glanced at Xu Tingyu, who was kneeling on the ground, "What are you doing in a daze?" Don't go yet! ”

Xu Tingyu shook off the hands of the two strong grandmothers, got up and walked to Zhao Shicheng's side, and smiled at him.

Following Zhao Shicheng out of Concubine Yao's palace, Xu Tingyu looked at Chen Su who was sweating, knowing that it was Zhao Shicheng who he was looking for when he saw that the situation was not good, and smiled at him.

"Thank you, General Chen Su, this time."

Chen Su waved his hand again and again, Zhao Shicheng turned to look at Xu Tingyu in disbelief, narrowed his eyes dangerously, and raised his hand to Chen Su, "You thank him?" ”

"If General Chen Su hadn't come to you, that Concubine Yao would have forced me to eat all the big buckets of rice! Thank him, of course! Xu Tingyu was right.

Zhao Shicheng grabbed Xu Tingyu's wrist and walked towards Concubine Yao's palace.

Xu Tingyu shook off Zhao Shicheng, "What are you doing?" ”

"Send you back! It's not good to waste food! ”

Zhao Shicheng tugged at his mouth.

Xu Tingyu pouted, "What's the matter, didn't I just thank you, as for it?" ”

Zhao Shichen snorted coldly, "Why not?" ”

Seeing Zhao Shicheng's serious face, Xu Tingyu approached and pulled Zhao Shicheng's sleeve, "Really angry?" ”

Zhao Shicheng ignored it.

"Okay, I know, Xu Tingyu thanks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for saving his life, is this okay?"

"Huh!"

"Where is the prince Ben who saved you! It's clear that Chen Su saved you! ”

Zhao Shicheng has a mean face.

Chen Su silently moved a step to the side.

Xu Tingyu sighed, "I know it's wrong, can't it?!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”
