Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

"Okay, okay, I will listen to your Highness."

Chu Shitong looked a little tired. It was clear that he had just woken up and was already feeling very tired.

It is very tiring. In the past few years, Chu Shitong has hardly had a single day of leisure.

Bishui brought letters from the capital.

Chu Shitong read all of them despite feeling sleepy. Just as she promised Bishui, she did not reply to any of them.

However, among this pile of letters, Chu Shitong did not see the one from Chu Shifeng.

Perhaps it was because his people had failed to assassinate him, and Chu Shifeng saw that things had come to this point and was too lazy to pretend to be a respectful brother to him anymore.

Chu Shitong put down the envelope and rubbed his eyes.

"Chu Shitong, are you tired?" Si Jingli asked with concern: "If you are tired, just sleep for a while."

Seeing that he was also very sleepy, Chu Shitong said, "You should go and rest first."

Si Jingli lowered his eyes, and his tone became cautious, "I want to... stay with you for a while longer."

“I can’t run away.”

"That's not OK."

The young master spoke very firmly. Chu Shitong guessed that it was because he had slept for so long and Si Jingli didn't feel safe at all.

"Don't worry, Your Highness." Chu Shitong held Si Jingli's hand, "Your Highness is here, I'm not going anywhere."

Si Jingli then said reluctantly: "Okay, but if anything happens to you, the people around you must wake me up and not hide it from me."

"it is good."

Not long after Si Jingli left, when Chu Shitong was drowsy, Gu Qiu Shui came in.

"Oh, I'm sleepy right after waking up."

She held the freshly brewed medicine in her hand.

"Don't sleep, drink first."

"Ah."

Chu Shitong struggled to sit up, took the medicine and drank it.

Gu Qiu Shui opened his eyes wide in surprise, as if he had seen something extraordinary.

Chu Shitong put down the bowl, picked up the handkerchief and wiped his lips. He noticed the excitement in Gu Qiushui's eyes and subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

"What are you always looking at me for?"

"Amazing!" Gu Qiushui praised sincerely, "The medicine my master prescribed for you was so bitter that I felt it was so bitter just by smelling it, but you drank it all in one breath without changing your expression!"

"What's this?"

Chu Shitong had drunk even more bitter medicine before, which was so bitter that he could not swallow it. However, in his previous life, he had already gone a little crazy at that time, and all he saw in his eyes was killing and harming people.

The air froze for a moment.

Chu Shitong asked: "By the way, you are from Medicine King Valley, and your master is the Medicine King?"

"Yes."

"Since it was your master who saved me this time, I have to thank him anyway. You are his disciple, so you naturally know his preferences. Why don't you say something, and I can ask someone to send some gifts to express my gratitude."

Gu Qiushui looked embarrassed, "No need, my master left yesterday."

Chu Shitong still found it quite strange.

"You left so soon, but what happened?"

"No, it's hard to explain to you."

Gu Qiu Shui didn't know how to explain the fact that her master didn't allow her to have any contact with Chu Shitong, because in Gu Qiu Shui's heart, Chu Shitong was quite interesting.

But she didn't dare to ignore it, so she struggled for a long time before she could finally utter a few words.

"I will leave in a few days when your condition stabilizes."

"Ah."

Seeing that Chu Shitong didn't even try to persuade him to stay, Gu Qiu Shui felt a little uncomfortable.

"You won't keep me?"

"How can I keep you?" Chu Shitong asked, "Didn't you tell me when we first met? You have your own things to do, and I don't need to look for you if I am not sick."

Gu Qiu Shui then remembered how wary he was of Chu Shitong when he was first rescued by her, so he spoke to Chu Shitong like that according to the rules of Yaowang Valley.

Now my mood is different, and my attitude towards Chu Shitong is also different, so I feel a little uncomfortable that Chu Shitong doesn't want to keep me.

"Okay, then you take a rest first. I'll go prepare your medicine for the evening."

"Thank you."

After Gu Qiu Shui got up and left, Chu Shitong finally had the chance to fall asleep.

When he woke up at night, there was not only a bowl of extremely bitter medicine waiting for him, but also three letters from Chu Shifeng.

I guess something unexpected happened along the way. The three letters were written at different times, but were all sent together.

Chu Shitong opened it and took a look.

This was Chu Shifeng’s explanation for the last assassination.

The general meaning is that he did not let anyone attack Chu Shitong, and those who did so have received inhumane torture as punishment.

He explained the reason why the man acted on his own and even for the first time apologized to Chu Shitong in a humble manner. His words were full of guilt, as if he really was unaware of the matter and was afraid that Chu Shitong would misunderstand him.

Chu Shitong didn't believe it at all.

If Chu Shifeng really had no intention of doing so, then where did his men get the courage to attack him?

Chu Shitong blindly guessed that Chu Shifeng felt that the plan had completely failed and no one had died, so he was unwilling to accept the fact. He was afraid that the two would join forces, so he had to say nice things.

The letter also said that he had already picked up Huaying and was keeping her in the backyard of Prince Yu's mansion, where she was well fed and well cared for, so Chu Shitong could rest assured.

If he had been willing to do this directly last time, Chu Shitong would have been willing to let him do his part before he died. However, now that it was too late, Chu Shitong was no longer willing to bear this favor.

......

On September 26, near the end of the month, Chu Shitong officially started his journey to the capital.

The journey took a long time. Chu Shitong's birthday was on October 11th, so it would have to be the beginning of the month before they arrived in the capital. Moreover, given Chu Shitong's current condition, the carriage didn't dare to go too fast, so they didn't arrive until October 4th.

Chu Shitong first went to the palace with Si Jingli to report the investigation results of the taxation issue to Chu Shiyu.

Royal study room.

"See Father."

"See Your Majesty."

Chu Shiyu did not hesitate this time and immediately said, "Get up quickly."

"Thank you, Father."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chu Shitong and Si Jingli stood in the hall. The two of them, whose looks were almost the ceiling, were very pleasing to the eye.

But what Chu Shiyu is concerned about now is Chu Shitong's health.

"Xiao Qi, how is your health? There are no good doctors in Jingzhou, otherwise let the imperial physician take a look at you again."

"I am very lucky. I happened to meet a miracle doctor in Medicine King Valley. My body has recovered well under his treatment. There is no need to use the imperial physician. Thank you, father."

Hearing the words "Medicine King Valley", the emotions in Chu Shiyu's eyes suddenly became mysteriously profound.

However, he didn't ask any more questions.

"I'm glad you're okay. I was very worried about you getting injured outside alone."

Chu Shitong smiled and said nothing more.

Only then did Chu Shiyu turn his attention to Si Jingli.

"How is the prince's injury? The Duke of Zhenguo was very worried when he heard about this, and he sent a lot of good medicine to the capital overnight."

Si Jingli changed his usual arrogance and became serious for once.

"My injury is not a problem. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

Chu Shiyu nodded, "I'm glad you're fine, otherwise the Duke of Zhenguo would have to worry about the Crown Prince at the border. When Prince Rong heard that you were injured, he went to the palace for three or four days in a row, and was finally relieved when he heard that you were fine."

Si Jingli said: "My father loves to worry about these little things of mine. I am sorry to trouble Your Majesty."

Chu Shitong handed the documents of the case to Wang Zexu, who presented them to Chu Shiyu.

Chu Shitong had already submitted a detailed account of the case. This time, the document sorting was just to explain the case in more detail.

Seeing that 1.8 billion taels of tax revenue had been found, Chu Shiyu showed a look of relief on his face.

"Xiao Qi and the prince have grown up and are now capable of doing great things."

He put the document on the table and said, "Okay, you two have been exhausted from the journey back home, so you should go back and rest early. The conclusion of this matter will be announced in a few days, and the rewards will also be given. It just so happens that Xiaoqi's birthday is coming soon, so we can celebrate together then."

Only then did Chu Shitong remember that it was his birthday soon.

"Thank you, Father."

"Okay, it's getting late, you guys should leave first."

"My son, please retire."

"My minister retire."

......

It can be seen that the 1.8 billion taels obtained from this transaction and the recovery of the political power in Jingzhou made Chu Shiyulong very happy.

The carriage took Si Jingli to Prince Rong's Mansion, but he kept holding Chu Shitong and had no intention of getting off.

"Your Highness, we have arrived at Prince Rong's Mansion." Chu Shitong reminded.

Si Jingli buried his head in her arms and said sullenly, "I don't want to go back."

"Why don't you want to go back?"

Si Jingli raised his head, his eyes full of reluctance.

"I can't sleep with you when I go back."

The young master's life is really not easy. Ever since Chu Shitong was injured, no matter how uncomfortable he was, he was unwilling to touch Chu Shitong again, for fear of delaying Chu Shitong's recovery.

Even though the wound had basically healed and would not be a big deal as long as she recovered slowly, the young master still didn't dare to touch her.

Chu Shitong kissed his face gently and coaxed him softly.

"Your Highness, there is no need to be sad. We still have a future and many days to live."

Si Jingli then reluctantly stood up. Before leaving, he still had the urge to kiss Chu Shitong, but he was worried about her injury. He forced himself to hold back and walked away, looking back every few steps.

Chu Shitong finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was extremely sleepy.

The carriage headed towards Prince Qi's Palace.

When they arrived at Prince Qi's Mansion, as soon as Chu Shitong got out of the car, he saw Ji Shu, Li Nu and Han Zijun who were already standing at the door to greet him.

Bishui helped Chu Shitong get off the carriage, and the three of them immediately stepped forward to pay their respects.

"Your Highness."*3

"Get up."

Ji Shu's eyes scanned Chu Shitong up and down, and Li Nu tugged at Ji Shu's sleeve anxiously.

Han Zijun didn't make so many small moves and asked directly: "Your Highness, I heard that you were injured outside. Are you in good health now?"

"It's fine, but I'm a little sleepy and want to rest first."

The three of them involuntarily made way.

Ji Shu said, "Your Highness, His Royal Highness Prince Yu arrived just as you entered the capital, and is still waiting in the house."

"understood."

Chu Shitong had a headache. Why did Chu Shifeng come?

This was the first time that Chu Shifeng came to visit.

In the past, only Chu Shitong came to visit him.

Bishui helped Chu Shitong into the mansion. Before entering, she looked back and saw that Li Nu had already grabbed Ji Shu's hand, saying something. Bishui took a look, then looked away and continued to help Chu Shitong walk inside.

Ji Shu froze in his tracks and did not follow in immediately.

Han Zijun said, "Brother Ji, Sister Li Nu, I'm going back to memorize the lessons first."

The raccoon forced a smile.

"Go back quickly and study hard."

"it is good!"

After Han Zijun left, Ji Shu spoke in a cold voice.

"Put your hands away."

The raccoon slave withdrew his hand, but the smile on his face disappeared almost instantly, and he asked in an impatient tone.

"How is it? Is the master injured? Did you see anything?"

Before Ji Shu could say anything, Li Nu started asking him a barrage of questions.

"Why don't you say anything? Can't you see? If you don't want the eyes, just give them to me!"

"Shut up." Ji Shu was a little annoyed. "It seems that the body has recovered well, but your highness's hand is also injured. It should be that something sharp pierced the palm directly. There are also many scratches on the neck and wrists, which have already scabbed over."

"Damn!"

Li Nu was so angry that she was about to go inside, "These bastards! Wait until I get in and play the harp to death on them!"

Ji Shu hurriedly stopped him, "What are you crazy about! Don't do anything without His Highness's permission!"

"Then are we just going to accept this frustration?"

"Your Highness has his own way of dealing with this." Ji Shu looked towards the courtyard, although Chu Shitong was no longer visible. "It is better for us not to interfere for now. Let's try to contact Her Highness the Princess first."

Although Li Nu was reluctant to swallow his anger, he could only reluctantly agree under the current circumstances.

"All right......"

.........

study.

The weather in October had already turned cold, but Si Jingli still specially put a cloak on Chu Shitong.

The osmanthus flowers in the corner of the yard are in bloom, and their fragrance fills the entire yard.

A row of golden chrysanthemums outside the study are in full bloom, brilliant golden yellow.

When Chu Shitong entered the room, he saw Chu Shifeng sitting on a chair, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Hearing the noise, Chu Shifeng looked up.

Chu Shitong didn't know what to say for a moment. Originally, she thought of not breaking up with Chu Shifeng for the time being. After all, it was Chu Shifeng who dared to send someone to assassinate her.

Besides, there is no benefit in breaking up at this time, and he has not been investigated.

"Xiao Qi, are you okay?"

Chu Shifeng stood up and walked quickly to Chu Shitong.

There was a big difference in height between the two men. When Chu Shifeng lowered his head slightly to look at them, he suddenly stopped.

Chu Shitong's face didn't look very good. There was a faint layer of dark blue under his eyes, and his lips were no longer as light red as before, but had a sickly pink tint.

Chu Shitong smiled gently.

"Brother, please sit down first."

After Chu Shitong walked around Chu Shifeng and sat down, he realized that Chu Shifeng had been standing there without moving. He looked like a child who had made a mistake.

At this time, Chu Shitong really didn't understand.

Chu Shifeng has always had poor acting skills, and he is even too lazy to pretend to be nice to anyone. Why is he acting so pretentiously today?

That helpless look really makes people believe it.

"Brother, please sit down." Chu Shitong smiled, as if the brothers were still like before, with no grudges. "Why are you standing there like an idiot?"
