Chu Shitong whispered, "Brother, I don't have the same bad taste as you."

"If you don't want to watch, I'll let him go now."

"That doesn't have to be the case."

It seems that in Chu Shifeng's eyes, a person of Lu Jiushang's status is no different from a dog.

In his previous life, Chu Shitong had only met Lu Jiushang a few times. Due to the difference in their identities, there was no chance for them to talk or get to know each other. Now that Lu Jiushang has taken refuge with Chu Shifeng, they have become related to each other by accident.

Lu Jiushang hurriedly ran towards the two of them. This was the first time that Chu Shitong saw Lu Jiushang's appearance seriously.

His appearance is rare and handsome, but he is far inferior to the prince of Rong Palace. His eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to those of Rong Wang, but perhaps he has inherited more of his mother's appearance. If you don't look closely, you really can't tell.

"Your Highness Prince Yu, Your Highness Prince Qi."

Lu Jiushang saluted and Chu Shifeng nodded casually.

After he stood up, he asked very naturally: "This humble official finally got two jars of deer antler wine from Nanzhao. I wonder if the two princes are interested in trying it?"

Tasting the wine was just an excuse. It was obvious that Lu Jiushang had something else to say.

Chu Shitong said tactfully, "Unfortunately, I have something else to do in the palace. Perhaps my brother is free."

Chu Shifeng raised his eyebrows, his tone slightly unhappy: "What's the matter? Didn't we agree to go to my house?"

Chu Shitong was helpless and gave him a look.

She didn't really want to get involved in the affairs of Chu Shifeng's men. In the current situation, the more she got involved, the more disadvantageous it would be for her.

The murder case in Jiangzhou will be reported next year. As the year draws to a close, Chu Shitong feels that maybe she should distance herself from him a little. It doesn’t need to be too distant. As long as she is not there when Chu Shifeng discusses things with his men, it will be fine.

Chu Shifeng sensed that Chu Shitong wanted to avoid suspicion, and said nonchalantly: "No problem, there is nothing that Xiaoqi cannot hear about me."

He took Chu Shitong's arm and walked out without even looking at Lu Jiushang, as if he was sending someone away and said something casually.

"If you are interested, please bring some wine to my palace later."

Although Lu Jiushang was ignored by Chu Shifeng, she still maintained a good attitude. Even though the two of them were only their backs to each other, she still bowed respectfully.

"I understand. I respectfully send off His Royal Highness Prince Yu and His Royal Highness Prince Qi."

......

We rode Chu Shifeng's carriage all the way to Prince Yu's Mansion.

Inside the palace.

Chu Shitong lay lazily in the rocking chair, yawning, and told everything he had found out yesterday.

After listening to Chu Shixuan's requirements for the future princess, Chu Shifeng also fell silent.

"Did Chu Shixuan really say that?"

"Of course not." Chu Shitong picked up some chestnuts from the stove and peeled them while saying, "I just think that maybe there are no such women in the capital, or maybe these standards are just what he said to me casually."

Chu Shifeng thought for a long time and said, "There are women like this... but if you want to find one, it will probably take some effort."

"I think my brother doesn't need to waste time on this. My eldest brother might have someone in his heart."

Chu Shitong mentioned that there were words carved on the pear tree in Chu Shixuan's yard, but she didn't see it. The more he talked, the gloomier Chu Shifeng's face became.

"Are you serious? Did he really say that he carved the words together with his sweetheart?"

Chu Shifeng's sudden serious tone made Chu Shitong vaguely aware of something.

"He admitted it at first, then denied it, and after a while he told me 'yes and no'. I then thought that maybe his relationship with that woman was not stable. Maybe he loved that woman in his heart, but things were different now. He himself knew that his relationship with that woman was in a state of 'yes and no'."

Chu Shifeng didn't know what he was thinking about, but he suddenly laughed deeply.

Chu Shitong stopped eating chestnuts and looked at Chu Shifeng in a daze, as if he had suddenly gone crazy.

Chu Shifeng's laughter became more and more uncontrollable, as if he had heard something extremely funny, or perhaps he had caught something on Chu Shixuan.

Chu Shitong had never seen him so happy before.

"Royal brother, why are you so scary?" Chu Shitong moved a little further away from Chu Shifeng while holding an orange.

Chu Shifeng then stopped, with a sinister yet delightful ruthlessness in his eyes, he stepped forward and pressed Chu Shitong's shoulders, saying, "It has to be Xiaoqi! This information is very important to me. If nothing unexpected happens, I am already 100% sure!"

Chu Shitong was shocked for a second, and couldn't help asking, "What? What did you know, brother?"

100% sure?

This possibility is too high.

But the feeling of confidence in Chu Shifeng's expression did not seem to be fake at all, so he must have known something extremely important.

"Tell me now."

Chu Shifeng was slow to speak, and Chu Shitong was getting extremely anxious.

"Do you know who the eldest brother loves? Or do you know who he and others carved the words on the tree with?"

Chu Shifeng couldn't help laughing twice more, then he patted Chu Shitong on the head, his smile was indescribably meaningful.

"Xiao Qi, it's not that I want to hide it from you, but I just can't tell you this yet. When Chu Shixuan is gone one day, I will definitely tell you everything about this."

Chu Shitong felt extremely unlucky.

"Royal brother, please stop talking. It's really uncomfortable to finish half of the sentence. Even if you want to tell me one day, I don't want to listen."

"Don't be angry, come and have a chestnut."

Chu Shifeng handed a few chestnuts to Chu Shitong.

Chu Shitong took it and looked at the chestnuts.

"Maybe the chestnuts are a different variety? I just ate one and the shell was so hard I couldn't open it. I had to bite it open with my teeth."

"Yes, it has been changed. It is said that it comes from Nanzhao. It is sweeter than before, but the shell is a little thicker. However, there is a special knife for opening the shell. It is on the table."

Chu Shitong turned around and saw that there was indeed an exquisite little knife. Unlike other knives, the blade of this knife was very short and thick, and the handle was very long, making it very easy to use.

Chu Shitong took a knife and cut the chestnut a few times, but the shell didn't open. He wasn't paying attention and cut his finger.

She subconsciously threw away the knife and quickly pressed down the finger, but blood had already flowed out from the fingertip.

Seeing this, Chu Shifeng said angrily, "How can you be so stupid? You can even get cut by the knife while cracking a chestnut."

The cut was a bit deep, not because Chu Shitong was not careful, but because the chestnut shell was round and needed some skill to open it. Chu Shitong's first try didn't result in the blade opening it, but instead slipped and cut his finger.

"Brother, please don't talk about me. I'm still bleeding. Please get some medicine quickly."

Chu Shifeng ordered his servants to bring the medicine box. When it was brought, the entire silk scarf that was covering the blood had been dyed red.

Chu Shifeng cursed with a sullen face: "What a bunch of useless people, you are so slow in getting a medicine box!"

The people in the mansion seemed to be used to being intimidated. When they heard Chu Shifeng's shouting, they immediately knelt down and confessed their crimes.

Chu Shitong couldn't help but reach out to take the medicine box.

Chu Shifeng took the medicine box before her and took out the hemostatic powder and gauze from it.

Seeing that Chu Shifeng seemed to be applying the medicine to him personally, Chu Shitong felt a little uneasy.

"Brother, please let the servant come."

"Can that bunch of rubbish bandage the wound better than I can?" Chu Shifeng looked unreasonable.

Chu Shitong was too lazy to say anything and stretched out his hand for him to bandage.

Chu Shifeng wiped the wound with a wet cloth, sprinkled some medicine powder on it, and then wrapped it with gauze.

Chu Shitong looked at the ugly bandage marks and said with disdain, "Brother, your craftsmanship is not good enough. It's so ugly."

Chu Shifeng sneered, secretly did something naughty, and pulled the bandage hard.

The pain was so severe that Chu Shitong couldn't help but shed tears that immediately moistened his eyes.

"It hurts! It hurts! Brother! Be gentle!"

After Chu Shifeng had done his evil deed, he suddenly heard Chu Shitong's soft voice with a hint of blame. His body suddenly stiffened and he stopped moving.

He looked up and saw Chu Shitong's clear eyes like glass, flushed with red and moist at the corners of his eyes. His pitiful and helpless look seemed to freeze his brain in an instant, and Chu Shitong's words kept repeating in his ears.

Unconsciously, my breathing became heavier.

Chu Shitong felt so painful that he wanted to curse, and when he saw Chu Shifeng was distracted, he became even more angry.

"Royal brother, if you can't do it, please let the servants do it. The life of my finger is also a life. You will hurt me to death if you continue."

Chu Shifeng came back to his senses in a somewhat confused state. The strength in his hands immediately loosened a lot. His eyes were panicked and his tone was filled with a hint of apology.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. Don't send the servants over. I'll bandage you directly."

He quickly bandaged Chu Shitong's wound.

Chu Shitong looked at the ugly bandage marks and fell into deep thought.

She kind of didn't want that finger anymore.

He was wrapped in layers of gauze and looked like a club. I gave in.

The servant came to report at this time.

"Your Highness, Lord Lu is at the door."

Chu Shitong couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up and said, "Brother, I'm leaving first. I won't drink today."

Chu Shifeng guessed that she was probably unhappy, but there was a reason for it, so Chu Shifeng couldn't keep her any longer.

"Then you can go back first. I'll have someone bring you some chestnuts. Also, I just got two strings of agate pendants. If you like them, you can take them with you."

Chu Shitong knew that Chu Shifeng only used these things to appease him.

"No, I don't want it. I'll take my leave."

She knew that even if she didn't want it, Chu Shifeng would give it to her out of guilt.

He turned his face away one second and smiled and thanked the emperor the next. This was really too servile. Even Chu Shitong, who was used to pretending to be a grandson, would not disdain to do that.

Chu Shitong turned and left.

The servants on the side were still waiting.

"Your Highness, Lord Lu..."

Chu Shifeng angrily swept the white jade plate off the table, and the oranges and chestnuts fell to the ground with the sound of the plate breaking.

"Let him go!"

"Yes."

Just as the servant was about to leave, Chu Shifeng called him back.

"Wait, send the two Wu Shi Pai and the chestnut to Prince Qi's mansion, and send my carriage to take Prince Qi back."

"Yes."

"Call Xueqing over."

"Yes."

Silence finally returned to the hall.

When Xueqing came to the palace, she had already been dressed up. She was wearing a blue shirt and looked pure and youthful.

He saluted towards Chu Shifeng.

"Xue Qing pays respect to His Highness."

Chu Shifeng impatiently reached out and pushed him onto the couch.

Xue Qing looked at Chu Shifeng with a red face. He had already memorized Chu Shifeng's breathing when he was aroused. He didn't know why, but it was not even noon yet, but Chu Shifeng was so angry.

"Your Highness, do you need Xueqing to serve you......"

The moment Xue Qing opened her mouth, Chu Shifeng could no longer suppress his anger and leaned over to kiss her.

......

The incident was so overwhelming that it was hard to control, and it was not until night that it finally came to an end.

Chu Shifeng drank quite a bit of wine, and Xue Qing also drank a little. The two of them were so absurd that the whole hall was filled with indescribable smells and the aroma of wine.

Chu Shifeng was drunk and sleeping on the bed holding Xueqing. Even though Xueqing was tired, she was willing to quietly look at the face of the person next to her at this quiet time, trying to remember his every expression, even his sleeping face.

Chu Shifeng mumbled a few words in his sleep. Xue Qing looked at him with loving eyes and asked softly.

"Your Highness, do you love Xueqing......"

He expected an answer, but he knew very well that it was impossible for Chu Shifeng to answer the amount of alcohol he had drunk today, so this was a question without an answer.

Chu Shifeng seemed to be awakened by his voice and hugged the person in his arms even tighter, like a drowning man holding on to a plank of survival.

Xue Qing was also willing to be held like this by him, and even felt a little secretly happy in her heart, because Chu Shifeng had never slept with him in his arms like this before.

In the darkness, happiness is fleeting.

Chu Shifeng whispered unconsciously in Xueqing's ear in his sleep.

"Xiaoqi..."

Xueqing felt cold all over in an instant, as if she was in an ice cave.

The boiling blood, the beating heart, and even the love in the eyes were all frozen at this moment.

He couldn't control his body and began to tremble slightly. He asked in a tone that sounded both incredulous and pleading.

"Your Highness...Do you know who I am?"

Chu Shifeng was in his sleep, so he couldn't hear these words. He just heard the sounds with his ears and continued to mutter subconsciously with his mouth.

"Xiao Qi...Xiao Qi...stay with me..."

At this moment, jealousy almost made Xueqing lose her mind.

Tears fell unexpectedly.

"King Qi..." He clenched his teeth, his eyes full of bloodshot, "So it's because of King Qi..."

----

The time goes back to when Chu Shitong just arrived at Prince Qi’s Mansion.

Ji Shu was quite surprised to see Chu Shitong.

"Your Highness, didn't His Royal Highness Prince Yu invite you to dinner today?"

Chu Shitong gave him a strange look and said, "What does it have to do with you whether I eat or not?"

Ji Shu immediately lowered his head and said, "It's not that I want to meddle in other people's business, it's just that the young marquis of the princess's mansion has been waiting for you in the courtyard for a long time."

Chu Shitong felt strange.

"Why did my cousin come here suddenly? Do you know why?"

Bishui approached quietly and whispered, "It seems that it's because Miss Xie didn't let the young marquis go to the restaurant yesterday."

Chu Shitong understood that this person had come to lobby her.

Just as he was about to enter the mansion, Ji Shu suddenly asked in a panic, "Your Highness! What happened to your hand?"

Chu Shitong raised his hand, revealing the wound that looked like a hammer.

"You ask that?"
