Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

Facing such a Si Jingli, Chu Shitong also felt very helpless.

This kind of helplessness is not about being helpless, but a feeling of being in a difficult situation where you don’t know where to start.

She could have just used a tough attitude or cold words to make Si Jingli give up like she did to others, but doing so would hurt Si Jingli's heart.

But if we don't do this, it's obvious that all the kind words of persuasion will be useless to Si Jingli.

"Your Highness." Chu Shitong suppressed his anger and said patiently, "I have explained it to you very clearly. I can't take you this time. It's not that I don't want to take you, but Jiangzhou is too dangerous."

Si Jingli was like a stubborn child, repeating: "I'm not afraid of danger, I can do it myself."

Perhaps this sentence finally exhausted Chu Shitong's patience. She could not help it any longer and her tone became heavier, but she did not dare to say anything too harsh. She was stuck in a situation where she was about to explode but did not dare to, so she said, "Why did you insist on going when you knew there was danger?

Putting yourself in danger not only makes me distracted from doing things and thinking about you, but also makes me have to be on guard against Prince Yu's actions at all times. You and I only have a few months left to spend time together. Could it be that I won't live long enough to return from Jiangzhou?"

Si Jingli had never been spoken to like this by Chu Shitong before. The moment he heard these words, he froze in place. His peach blossom eyes widened slightly, and his pupils were trembling unconsciously.

The watery eyes became more and more moist, and the tears finally condensed into a layer in the moisture, which unexpectedly flowed down the cheeks.

His face was full of hurt and vulnerability, and his lonely figure looked extremely pitiful. He lowered his eyes cautiously, not daring to let Chu Shitong see him, nor did he dare to speak, for fear that one more word would make Chu Shitong even more angry.

Chu Shitong was not blind. Seeing him like this, the discomfort in his heart suppressed his anger, and he softened his attitude helplessly.

"Your Highness, if you still don't understand my thoughts after I say this, then what should I do?"

Si Jingli's shoulders were shaking silently. This was the first time he cried in front of Chu Shitong, but he didn't dare to make any noise.

Chu Shitong felt distressed when he saw this, and went forward to try to touch him to comfort him, but Si Jingli subconsciously took a step back.

Looking up, the face that used to be charming and arrogant now looked aggrieved and disappointed.

Chu Shitong could hardly bear his gaze. She felt as if she had done something very wrong to Si Jingli. The oppressive atmosphere made her feel a little suffocated.

The image of him dying in front of her in her previous life flashed through her mind, and the bloody image dissipated all the anger in her heart, leaving only futile guilt.

Chu Shitong lowered his head to hide his complicated expression, "Your Highness, I'm sorry that I shouldn't have said these words to make you sad."

Si Jingli didn't give her a chance to explain, nor did he say anything. He just turned around and left in silence.

Looking at his lonely back, Chu Shitong subconsciously had the urge to chase him, but she knew that she was in a terrible situation at the moment.

She once thought that she could handle anything with ease.

She can suppress her anger when facing anyone who is sarcastic and aggressive, because she doesn't care about the other person at all, nor does she care about what the other person says.

At worst, you can just agree with him with a smile on your face but curse him in your heart.

But it happened to be Si Jingli like this.

She didn't dare to speak or scold. The more she thought about him, the less she spoke.

Every harsh word carries a hurtful sting.

Every time someone said something slightly unpleasant or hurtful, she would feel worse than Si Jingli.

She said those words herself.

At this moment, Chu Shitong suddenly recalled something Si Jingli had once said to her.

"Chu Shitong, it would be great if you could love me."

In the past, he just thought that Si Jingli said this because he was too worried about gains and losses. Now, thinking about it, Chu Shitong suddenly realized that it was not because Si Jingli was too worried about gains and losses, but because he had never given Si Jingli enough sense of security that he wanted.

Bishui walked into the house with a worried look on her face. Usually, when Si Jingli came, he would stay for a long time. Although she was reluctant to see him leave, she was also happy.

I don’t know what happened today, but Si Jingli left with red eyes and a dazed look just after seeing Chu Shitong for a while.

Seeing Chu Shitong staring outside the house distractedly, Bishui became even more worried.

"Your Highness... His Highness the Crown Prince has left..."

Chu Shitong suppressed his emotions and turned to go into the inner room.

"Don't worry about it, pack your things and leave for Jiangzhou tomorrow."

Bishui hesitated for a moment, but still responded: "Yes..."

In these few short seconds, Chu Shitong reviewed the time he spent with Si Jingli.

Very beautiful, very happy.

It is the rare warmth in her cold life.

For her, Si Jingli was willing to participate in government affairs, use his connections, and mobilize the Marquis of Zhenguo.

But she seemed to have failed just like in her previous life.

It broke his heart again.

......

The night sky is starless and vast.

A lonely moon hangs in the sky, desolate and lonely.

Prince Yuan’s Palace sent a few bottles of pear blossom wine, which had a sweet aroma with a light pear blossom scent.

I heard that the pear tree in the courtyard of Prince Yuan's mansion has blossomed, and Prince Yuan brewed this tea himself.

The clear water was divided into a pot and sent to the study.

The light in the study was still on. It was almost midnight, but Chu Shitong did not feel sleepy at all.

"Your Highness, this is the pear blossom wine sent by Prince Yu's Mansion. Would you like to try it?"

Bishui poured a glass of water and brought it to Chu Shitong's table.

Chu Shitong took a quick look and didn't move.

Bishui noticed that Chu Shitong was in a bad mood and wanted to say something to ease the mood, but Chu Shitong spoke first.

"Let Rushuang stay in the capital with the prince. Send someone to monitor the Princess's residence in your spare time to find out all the information about "Aqi". It's best not to alert the Princess. If you are discovered, it doesn't matter. Bring me back everything about "Aqi". "

That snowy day, the night she learned about her life story.

In fact, Chu Shitong saw it.

The tablet in the successor hall is engraved with "My wife Aqi".

But Chu Shitong didn’t say it.

She suspected that this "Aqi" was Xuan Wu Yue, otherwise there would be no reason for an unknown plaque to suddenly appear in the princess's mansion.

Moreover...this character "Qi" seems to be inseparable from his own title.

Hearing Chu Shitong's tone return to normal, Bishui felt relieved until Chu Shitong said the next sentence.

"Yes."

"Tell Wang Zexu that there is no need to suppress the dosage of the medicine, just use it normally."

"Yes......"

Chu Shitong waved his hand to let her go, and sat alone at the table drinking pear blossom wine.

If it weren't for what happened today, she would probably have delayed the dosage a little longer. Perhaps this incident inspired Chu Shitong, and she decided to let Chu Shiyu die earlier.

Living too long was not a good thing for him.

Whether the drugging was discovered or not, he would die. By the time it was discovered, no amount of treatment would be able to save him.

At worst, we can let Chu Shiyu know about this matter when he is half dead, and then investigate it thoroughly. It will definitely not be traced back to her, Chu Shitong.

She thought about it for a long time and decided to act quickly. If she delayed it too long, not only would Si Jingli be unable to be appeased, but the longer the night, the more trouble she would have. Who knows what her royal brothers would do.

After drinking the glass of wine, I found that the pear blossom wine tasted really good.

It was the kind Chu Shixuan liked. It tasted light, but the alcohol was very strong, and I got a little tipsy after drinking it for a while.

It's like a weak person walking by your side, a harmless companion, and then suddenly punches you hard when you are caught off guard.

The person being beaten will feel dizzy and his thoughts will drift away.

"See Shadow."

Seeing Ying walk out of the darkness, he saluted: "Your Highness."

"Go and inform the people we arranged to meet Prince Duan. Regardless of whether he agrees to buy the troops or not, he must leave evidence of the meeting."

"Yes."

"Arrange people to ambush on the Changbei Road in advance. In addition to the route, we must also place people in Changbei. Plan all the places he will go. Use all means, such as poisoning and assassination. As long as you can complete the task, I will reward you handsomely."

"Yes."

"As for King Han...let's let him go for now."

Chu Shitong leaned back in her chair, her eyes as clear as glass gleaming coldly under the moonlight, the wine glass turning lightly between her fingertips.

"I wonder how you, my brothers, will deal with this in this life... Will you kill me, or will I kill you..."

She talked to herself and laughed to herself like a madman.

I picked up the wine jug and drank it all, intoxicated by my laughter. The aroma of pear blossoms and wine lingered around my body. My smile was as bright and charming as a flower in the night, but my heart was broken and my eyes were blurred with tears.

......

Early in the morning, Chu Shitong got on a carriage and prepared to go to Jiangzhou.

Because of what happened last night, Chu Shitong wrote a letter and sent it to Prince Rong's Mansion before leaving.

But the news we got was that Si Jingli had also set out for Jiangzhou, even leaving an hour earlier than Chu Shitong.

Rushuang was sent to protect Si Jingli, so she went along too.

Upon hearing the news, Chu Shitong just smiled and said nothing.

This time when they went to Jiangzhou, they moved three carriages and brought Li Nu and Qingyu. Ji Shu stayed in the mansion as usual.

Although he already knew Ji Shu's identity, Chu Shitong still pretended to know nothing and got along with Ji Shu.

I think Ji Shu was also clear about this, and he never broke that window paper.

The carriage was bumpy and took ten days to get into Jiangzhou.

In the past few days, news from the capital has been coming in all the time.

As expected, Chu Shifeng sent people to do something and asked Chu Shiyu to send him to inspect the county town on the border of Jiangzhou.

Everyone in the court knew very well that once they left the capital, it was hard to say whether they would go to the Jiangzhou border or Jiangzhou.

Because he came to investigate in the name of Chu Shiyu, as soon as he entered Jiangzhou, officials from various counties would come to pay him a visit.

In order to pretend to reassure Chu Shifeng, Chu Shitong had to drink and chat with him before leaving.

It would have taken five days to reach Jiangzhou City, but it took nearly ten days of drinking in various county towns before we arrived.

After coming and going, he arrived later than Chu Shifeng.

Chu Shifeng had already arrived in Jiangzhou City, and Chu Shitong had just come from the nearest county town.

Not to mention Si Jingli who set out early. According to the information sent back by Rushang, Si Jingli had already stayed in the inn in Jiangzhou City for several days.

As soon as he arrived at the inn in Jiangzhou City, without even having a meal, he received an invitation from the prefect's assistant (the prefect's assistant). Chu Shitong felt like he was going to get sick from drinking so much.

She really couldn't help it, so she cursed a few words in the house.

"Are all the people in Jiangzhou sick? They must have grown up in wine jars, right? They really want to force me to drink to death."

Qingyu laughed loudly: "If Your Highness doesn't want to go, I can pretend to be Your Highness and go."

The raccoon snorted coldly and said, "You are worthy of pretending to be His Highness? His Highness is so stunning, please don't embarrass Him."

Facing the two people she dared not offend, Bishui could only whisper beside Chu Shitong: "Otherwise... let's just refuse. Anyway, His Royal Highness Prince Yu is here, and no one should dare to embarrass His Royal Highness with him here."

"Although he is here, he cannot be seen. Otherwise, he would not be the first one to send the invitation. I think he does not want to intervene directly in this matter. After all, he did not come to Jiangzhou for this matter."

Lan Tong thought for two seconds, looked at the food that had just been served on the table, stood up and said, "You guys eat, Prince Yu is here, there's no guarantee that he will come to Zhou Tong's mansion secretly, it's safer for me to go in person."

Qingyu was not worried and had already picked up the bowl and chopsticks without any hesitation.

"What about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Chu Shitong paused and said, "Let's talk about it in a few days."

She hasn't figured out how to deal with it yet.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will surely be even angrier in a few days." Qingyu added.

Chu Shitong: “…”

Bishui also said, "Your Highness, why don't you write a letter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before you go?"

Seeing the expectation in the two people's eyes, Chu Shitong's expression became more and more strange, "Why are you two so worried about His Royal Highness?"

Why are so many people worried about her man?

For a moment, Chu Shitong couldn't tell whose man Si Jingli was.

Qingyu smiled awkwardly, "Isn't this because I'm afraid that His Royal Highness will be unhappy, and Your Highness will also be unhappy."

Chu Shitong had a vague premonition that these guys must have realized the importance of Si Jingli in front of them after being punished by Si Jingli last time, so they simply turned to Si Jingli in their hearts.

She was unhappy. Could it be that she was too strict with her husband? That was why Qingyu and others cared so much about Si Jingli.

"Mind your own business." Chu Shitong was a little annoyed: "Wait until I come back, don't do unnecessary things."

The door opened and closed.

As soon as Chu Shitong left with Bishui, Rushang came back.

"Rushuang, long time no see." Qingyu greeted: "Why are you back? Is the prince here?"

Rushuang glanced around the room and saw that only Qingyu and Li Nu were there, so she asked, "Where is His Highness?"

"I'm going to Zhoutongfu."

"I'll go back and tell His Royal Highness." She said this hurriedly and disappeared again.

-

The scale of Zhoutong Mansion is much more luxurious than that of Prince Qi's Mansion. Although it is not as good as Prince Yu's Mansion, it is also extremely extravagant.

The kind of extravagance that is not concealed.

This made Chu Shitong curious about how rich Chu Shifeng's grandfather's family was before he even went to the prefect's house.

In the side hall, there was a long mahogany and jade table. On the table were all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, and the aroma of four or five kinds of wine mixed together, which seemed to make people drunk as soon as they smelled it.

Jiangzhou Governor Fu Zhixing is a man in his late 40s with a typical old official look. The shrewdness and ruthlessness in his eyes are obvious at a glance, otherwise he would not have reached his current position.

Even when he was smiling and toasting Chu Shitong, his politeness was a little unnatural.

"His Highness Prince Yu ordered me to build a new mansion for His Highness in Jiangzhou City. However, due to time constraints, the progress is a little slow. Your Highness has to stay in the inn for the time being. I think the new mansion will be completed in less than half a month."

Chu Shitong: “…”

what?

Chu Shifeng wants to build a mansion for her directly in Jiangzhou City?
