Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

Chu Shitong ignored him and went straight into the house.

The three of them looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.

Bishui secretly reminded: "Your Highness is not in a good mood, otherwise wait until Your Highness calms down before coming."

After saying that, she didn't dare to stay for too long and quickly followed Chu Shitong into the house.

Qingyu asked: "Then shall we go in to look for His Highness?"

Li Nu touched the tip of his nose and said in a timid voice, "Otherwise, just listen to Bishui and come back another day. His Highness is angry now, and if we rush over, we might be punished more severely."

The two of them looked at Nanxue. Nanxue glanced into the house. There was no movement inside. She hesitated for a while and said, "Let's go now. If we don't go, we will be punished today. I don't want to be slapped in the face."

in the house.

Chu Shitong leaned on the couch, looking out the window. The window was clearly not open, but she seemed to be able to see the distant distance through the vague shadows on the window paper.

Bishui carefully poured the tea onto the table and stood aside not daring to make a sound.

Nan Xue and the other two entered the house quietly.

Bishui was a little surprised to see the three people. She quickly signaled to them to leave quickly while Chu Shitong hadn't noticed yet.

Although Chu Shitong doesn't get angry very often, he gets particularly irritated with everyone when he's in a bad mood.

Li Nu tugged at Qingyu's clothes. Qingyu also wanted to leave, so he looked at Nanxue.

Nan Xue fell to her knees with a thud. The noise made Chu Shitong slowly come back to his senses and look over.

Qingyu also quickly knelt down. Li Nu was stunned. She had no idea what was going on in the room, so she could only kneel down as well.

But there was something wrong with her standing position, and she knelt in the wrong direction. The situation was very embarrassing. Since she couldn't see, she had to follow the movements of the other two people, and ended up kneeling towards the clear water.

Bishui's hair suddenly stood on end, and she didn't know what she was doing.

Chu Shitong supported his chin with one hand. During the silence, his stunning face was expressionless. His cold look was untainted by the worldly world, but in his eyes, as clear as glass, undercurrents were surging.

Nan Xue spoke first, "Your Highness, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have acted on my own today, nor should I have wrongly accused the Crown Prince of Prince Rong."

Qingyu: "I also know I am wrong."

When Li Nu heard the direction of the voice, he realized that he had knelt in the wrong direction. He quickly turned around and faced Chu Shitong, saying, "I know I was wrong."

The room was quiet, and the three of them knelt on the ground, no one dared to look up.

Bishui didn't even dare to breathe with her next to him.

Chu Shitong stared coldly at the three people on the ground for a long while before he slowly spoke.

"Li Nu, you go down first."

"Ah?" The raccoon suddenly raised his head. Although he couldn't see anything, the expression of fear on his face was too obvious.

She was a little anxious and didn't understand why Chu Shitong asked her to leave. Could it be that he didn't trust her?

"Your Highness, I know I was wrong. I have no objection to any punishment you choose!"

"I'm not going to punish you."

Chu Shitong slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip, then let out a long sigh. Her thick eyelashes drooped lazily, and the light fell on her profile, outlining delicate and perfect lines.

"The punishment that His Royal Highness mentioned is a bit severe. You can go find Ji Shu and get ten strokes of the cane."

Li Nu stood there in a daze, an unprecedented joy exploding in his heart.

Qingyu and Nanxue looked at Li Nu with almost ferocious expressions.

How come this kid is so lucky?

The raccoon slave kowtowed several times and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"Well, let's go down."

Chu Shitong's voice was calm, plain and soothing, yet it seemed to contain some magical power, oppressing everyone with a terribly heavy heart.

The raccoon got up and went out.

Nanxue and Qingyu knelt on the spot.

Chu Shitong glanced at the two of them and said, "Nanxue, why did you and your sister follow me in the first place?"

Qingyu looked at Nanxue helplessly. It was obvious that after Chu Shitong said this, he had begun to doubt the two of them.

The reason they were sent out in the first place was because Chu Shitong didn't want to keep them by his side.

Although he surrendered, in the eyes of a suspicious person like Chu Shitong, surrendering voluntarily was definitely not a good thing.

Nan Xue replied cautiously, "Your Highness, as soon as we sisters saw Your Highness, we were conquered by your divine aura. After meeting Your Highness, we are more determined to follow you. As long as Your Highness is willing to keep us by your side, we sisters are willing to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire for Your Highness and will never break our promise."

Chu Shitong frowned slightly, "It seems strange because you two are following me bravely, right? I have no favors or help for you. You just met me once and said hello, but you insisted on pestering me. If you can't give me a reason that I can accept, then you can leave today and don't have to accept the punishment."

Nan Xue's heart sank, and her expression was as painful as if she had been hit hard.

Seeing this, Qingyu couldn't help but ask, "Why doesn't Your Highness believe us? We have been following Your Highness for two years and have never done anything to let Your Highness down. Even so, Your Highness would rather believe Leji, a blind man who just came, than believe us?"

As soon as these words fell, the atmosphere in the hall instantly dropped to freezing point.

When Nanxue heard Qingyu's revealing words, she lowered her head helplessly.

Bishui opened her mouth in surprise.

The blind man that Qingyu mentioned... is it Li Nu? Li Nu is blind? ?

The depth in Chu Shitong's eyes became even more intense. Not only that, but because of Qingyu's words, he became even more suspicious about the sisters' origins.

"Who is Leji you are talking about?"

Qingyu then realized that she had spoken too bluntly and had let the cat out of the bag. She turned to Nanxue for help, but Nanxue had already lowered her head deeply, obviously giving up on explaining the matter.

Qingyu met Chu Shitong's sharp gaze and was terrified. She had no way out now. If she didn't explain clearly, let alone staying with Chu Shitong, she might not even be able to leave Prince Qi's Mansion alive today.

"Your Highness..."

Qingyu was so anxious that she was sweating profusely. She didn't know whether she should tell everything. She had kept it a secret for so long, and Yun Xiangrong was dead. She really wanted to tell Chu Shitong the truth.

"Clear water." Chu Shitong seemed to sense something and suddenly said, "You go out first."

Bishui reacted quickly and walked out quickly.

"I will leave now."

After Bishui left, Qingyu said, "Your Highness, do you know...your true identity?"

Chu Shitong's heart suddenly paused, his eyes flew towards Qingyu like a cold knife, a flash of murderous intent was ready to take effect, and he had already made the worst guess in his heart because of this sentence.

"What do you want to say?"

Qingyu looked at Nanxue again. Seeing her lost and sad look, she felt even more reluctant and said, "Your Highness, you are not Yun Xiangrong's biological son at all! Your biological mother is Princess Tianxuan! It was the dog emperor of Beiqing who deceived you! You are the only blood of Tianxuan now!"

Chu Shitong felt that the only hope left in his head disappeared at this moment.

These two people actually knew her true identity.

But Chu Shitong could not admit it directly. "Do you know that these rebellious words of yours are enough for me to cut you into pieces?"

"Even if we are cut into pieces, my sister and I are not afraid!" Qingyu risked her life. She had never seen Nanxue hurt like this by a single word. "Your Highness, I don't know if you know your true identity, but my sister and I have never lied to you! My sister and I are the heirs of the Tianxuan Shadow Sect. We recognized you as the princess's descendant at first sight in Jiangzhou, so we followed you so loyally!"

If Chu Shitong had wanted to kill them just now because the two men knew her true background, now it was because of the word "Shadow Gate". Her heart almost stopped beating at this moment.

The Tianxuan Dynasty was overthrown because of problems with the last monarch, but the founding emperor of Tianxuan was a wise man. Even though the subsequent emperors were mediocre, they relied on the foundation left by the founding emperor and managed to survive for hundreds of years.

Among the most famous decisions made by the founding emperor of Tianxuan, the existence of the Five Gates was one.

The so-called five sects refer to five different secret sects that only belong to the Tianxuan royal family.

I heard that they used to be a martial arts sect, but later they were impressed by the talent of the founding emperor of Tianxuan and began to pledge their loyalty to him.

The five doors are:

The music sect killed people with musical instruments, and their descendants were all born melodic musicians with a strong talent for music.

The Shadow Clan possesses superb disguise skills and can fabricate voices. Their voices and appearances can be 90% similar to the target's. They can completely replace a person's existence without anyone knowing, and no one knows what they originally looked like.

The Guimen are famous for their superb Qinggong skills. Not only can they appear and disappear completely silently, but their movements are also terrifyingly light. I heard that their original sect was the God of Thieves, and that all the people of the Guimen are born dumb, without exception.

The Poison Sect is composed of women. If the offspring is a man, he will be directly trained to be a poisoner. They are famous for controlling and refining poison. It is said that they can also control poisoners. At the beginning, the leader of the Poison Sect proposed to Emperor Tianxuan that he wanted to train a group of puppet poisoners who were not afraid of life and death, but was rejected by Emperor Tianxuan on the grounds that it was inhumane.

The Tianji Sect is also the most mysterious and magical sect. They can know the past and observe the future through the signs of the stars.

Chu Shitong stared at Nanxue and Qingyu again and again, "Are you two really from the Shadow Sect?"

"Of course!" Qingyu raised her hand for a moment, and her long sleeves brushed across her face. When they fell, her face had turned into Nanxue's. "Does Your Highness believe it?"

Chu Shitong crossed his arms and said nothing, his brows furrowed.

"Is the Leji you mentioned a raccoon slave?"

If so, it would also explain why Li Nu killed people with musical instruments in his previous life.

If it weren't for the inheritance, it would be too difficult for a person to master a musical instrument to perfection while also learning to kill people with it. Any musical instrument can kill people, which is really too difficult.

Especially since Li Nu is blind.

"Yes." Qingyu said, "At first, my sister and I found His Highness first. Later, when my sister was on a mission, she met Le Ji and asked her to find His Highness. But... she didn't remember the title and found the wrong person. She was accidentally taken away by Prince Yu, but after many twists and turns, she finally found His Highness."

I didn't expect it to be true.

Chu Shitong felt it was a bit ridiculous when she knew that she had the blood of the previous dynasty. Now, suddenly there were several subordinates from the five sects of the previous dynasty around her, she felt it was even more ridiculous.

But it seems that if you think this way, everything makes sense.

Li Nu did not appear as he did in his previous life, but instead appeared next to Chu Shifeng.

Showed up long in advance.

On the day Yun Xiangrong died, Li Nu played a cheerful piece of music for him.

In front of Chu Shitong, Li Nu, who had only met her a few times, was incredibly well-behaved, even more well-behaved than in her previous life.

If she knew Chu Shitong's identity, then all this would make sense.

Chu Shitong remained silent, not knowing what to say.

Qingyu's words should be true. Chu Shitong had doubted it before. His face was so similar to Xuan Wuyue's face in the portrait. Why did Chu Shiyu still trust him to be his prince? Could it be that everyone who knew Xuan Wuyue in this world was dead?

Chu Shitong also suspected that Chu Shiyu had really killed all those who had seen Xuan Wu Yue.

After all, the late emperor killed most of them, and Chu Shiyu also killed quite a few in secret.

Sure enough, there are still some fish that slip through the net.

They recognized their own identities through their faces, which was probably not an empty talk.

Anyone who can tell such secrets of the previous dynasty must have seen them with his own eyes.

Otherwise, ordinary people would not dare to make such a bold guess.

Chu Shitong said: "If I hadn't asked you today, would you have been lurking around me?"

"This is not... I haven't found the right time. I don't know if His Highness can accept my identity. If His Highness hadn't chased us sisters away today, I don't think we would have told His Highness the truth now."

"Ah."

Chu Shitong didn't notice Nanxue's silence. She asked, "Besides the three of you, are there any other people from the previous dynasty around me?"

"Yes." Qingyu reported more than a dozen names one after another.

After hearing this, Chu Shitong was silent for a long time.

Oh shit.

No wonder the subordinates I recruited in this life were so successful and loyal. I thought it was because Ji Shu and I had good vision, but I didn’t expect it was because they all recognized me.

Thinking of Ji Shu, Chu Shitong suddenly remembered that his original name was Xuan.

"Does Ji Shu have any relationship with the previous dynasty?"

It seemed that his name was not among the names Qingyu reported just now.

Qingyu was about to speak when Nanxue suddenly held her hand and said, "We don't know about this."

Qingyu looked at Nanxue in confusion, but Nanxue's expression was very firm, so she had no choice but to say, "Sis doesn't know him, so I don't know him either."

Chu Shitong felt that the two of them were not telling the truth, but there must be a reason for not saying it. Since they didn't want to say it, she certainly couldn't ask them.

"What about Will?"

Qingyu: "Who is Will?"

Only then did Chu Shitong realize that he had said it too easily.

Will was her loyal subordinate in her previous life, the man who cut off his own brother's tongue just because she frowned.

His real name is Qin Wei, and he is the second subordinate picked up by Chu Shitong. Chu Shitong felt that calling him by his real name was too troublesome, so he changed it to Wei Er.

Qin Wei was very resistant to this name.

Actively request to change it to "尔".

Chu Shitong also felt that "er" was the same as "son", and calling him that sounded a bit feminine, which had nothing to do with Qin Wei's cold and decisive aura, and also seemed inexplicably close to him.

But he couldn't overcome Qin Wei's stubbornness. When he called "Wei Er", he acted like a deaf person and refused to respond. Chu Shitong had to slowly change the name.

"Qin Wei." Chu Shitong said, "It was just a slip of the tongue. Is he also from the previous dynasty?"

Qingyu thought about it for a long time but couldn't remember it.

Nan Xue said: "Your Highness, we have never heard of such a person, and there is no such thing as a subordinate of the Tianxuan royal family with the surname Qin."

It turned out to be the case.

Chu Shitong was a little disappointed. He didn't expect that Will was not from the previous dynasty either.

Then why haven't I found him in this life?
