Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

The heavy wooden door was slowly pushed open, and a layer of dust fell, blinding everyone's eyes.

The inner room seemed even bigger, and the endless darkness made it impossible to see the furnishings inside clearly.

However, Chu Shitong could see a light in the distance.

I could vaguely see the red lacquered dressing table and the graceful figure of a woman sitting in front of the mirror.

Chu Shitong couldn't help but walk forward.

Nan Xue coughed a few times, and watching Chu Shitong walking further and further away, she couldn't help but say, "Your Highness! Be careful! We haven't explored the inside yet!"

Someone nearby looked at the dressing table in surprise.

"That...woman in front of the dressing table, is she a princess?"

Nan Xue became more alert upon hearing this, and quickly followed Chu Shitong with her men.

She stepped forward and grabbed Chu Shitong, saying, "Your Highness, be careful."

Chu Shitong's eyes were fixed on the figure in front of the dressing table.

The same.

It was exactly the same scene as in her dream.

She was so happy that she had never felt before, as if God had finally opened his eyes and sent this gift to her.

Nan Xue stared at the blurry face in the mirror and couldn't help feeling sympathy.

Indeed...it is Xuan Wu Yue's appearance.

so similar.

But she didn't quite believe it. She always felt that the current scene, whether it was Xuan Wu Yue or Chu Shitong, was too weird.

Chu Shitong slowly broke free from her hand and walked towards the dressing table unconsciously.

My heart is pounding and my blood is boiling at this moment.

The cautious defense in the dream seemed to disappear into thin air at this moment.

The raccoon slave couldn't see, so he had to ask: "What's going on? Is the princess here? Why is it so quiet?"

Nan Xue pursed her lips, not knowing how to describe the weirdness of this moment.

She looked around and saw that all the furnishings she could see in the firelight were covered with a layer of dust, and it didn't look like anyone had ever lived here.

All of a sudden, she seemed to have thought of something and looked up at the dressing table.

There was also a layer of dust on the dressing table.

The alarm bells in my heart were ringing wildly at this moment.

Nan Xue shouted, "Your Highness! Be careful! She is not a princess!"

At this moment, Chu Shitong seemed to be possessed by a demon and hypnotized, turning a deaf ear to the shouts of the people behind him.

She slowly approached, her thin lips slightly opened, as if she was trying to say something.

I don't know how many times I tried.

Finally, he called out in a very small, even trembling voice.

"mother......"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Nan Xue didn't care whether the surroundings were safe or not, and rushed forward to stop Chu Shitong.

The others seemed to have noticed something unusual at this moment and came forward one after another.

Chu Shitong had already walked behind the woman, as if she had secretly rehearsed this short distance countless times.

Shout out that title.

"mother......"

He patted the woman's shoulder with a trembling hand.

The pupils of those cold tea-like glass eyes were trembling with excitement, waiting for the woman's response.

The heart that has been silent and indifferent for many years is now boiling hot, and the expectant look in the eyes is burning.

One second... Two seconds...

There was no reaction from the other party.

Nan Xue rushed forward and grabbed Chu Shitong's wrist.

Chu Shitong raised his eyes to look at the bronze mirror in front of him. In the mirror was reflected a face that was 70% similar to his own.

Such a stunningly beautiful face, yet so lifeless and stiff.

My heartbeat seemed to stop at this moment.

A huge sense of loss and despair came over me like darkness all around.

Her hands were cold and stiff, trembling as they rested on the woman's shoulders.

No... No...

The mother in my dream was not like this.

Although they look the same, she can cry, laugh and talk.

I would hug Chu Shitong and call her name.

"mother......?"

Is he unwilling to give up? Or is he unwilling to accept this result?

Chu Shitong's eyes were filled with tears at some point, and he kept shouting.

"Mother...it's me...Mother..."

The raccoon's ears moved.

The woman slowly raised her head, as stiff as a dead person, and raised her head straight up, at an angle that no human could possibly achieve, and looked towards Chu Shitong.

The moment Chu Shitong saw the face clearly, the last bit of expectation in his heart was completely shattered.

"Snapped--"

The bronze mirror shattered and an arrow flew through the air.

Nan Xue tried her best to stop it, but the distance was too close and it was too late.

The arrow pierced Chu Shitong's chest directly.

"Your Highness!"

The figure swayed and fell to the ground. Chu Shitong endured the severe pain in his chest, his eyes still fixed on the woman's face.

It seemed that if I looked at her a few more times, she would come back to life and I would hold her like in the dream.

A suffocating pain burst out when the woman's head suddenly fell.

The woman's head fell neatly from the neck with a cut, fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and her face shattered into pieces.

It's... a puppet.

The pain in my chest seemed to really start to hurt at this moment.

There was an explosion of pain in his head, a storm mixing past reality and dreams, and the pain was so severe that Chu Shitong could not help but scream out in pain.

"mother--"

"Someone, take His Highness away!"

Nan Xue hugged Chu Shitong. She was almost certain that Chu Shitong had reached a state of insanity. He might have gone crazy missing Xuan Wu Yue.

However, it was difficult for Nanxue to blame Chu Shitong for his insistence.

After all, Chu Shitong had never received any maternal love, so it was normal for him to have a crazy obsession when there was a chance for him to get it.

Chu Shitong clutched the arrow in his chest unwillingly. His clothes were soaked with blood and his hands were full of it. It seemed that the cold arrow in his body was not as cold as his heart at this moment.

The dizziness came over her and she fainted after a short while.

Nan Xue and others took Chu Shitong and quickly left the underground palace.

Before leaving, she looked back at the doll in front of the dressing table.

If the head hadn't suddenly fallen off, she might not even have guessed what it was.

You can feel that it is not a human, but it does not look like a puppet at all.

Here...what exactly is going on.

Where did this puppet come from? So was the figure they saw before also a puppet?

......

The heavy vermilion door was opened.

Chu Shitong walked towards the dressing table step by step, looked at the figure of the woman in the mirror, and thought of the fallen head. Her hand, which was about to pat the woman's shoulder, paused in the air.

Is it... fake?

The woman in front of me is just a puppet.

The woman in his dreams is long gone.

The so-called mother-daughter reunion was probably just a pitiful dream of hers.

Chu Shitong lowered his eyes and glanced at the bronze mirror unintentionally.

The woman in the bronze mirror is bright and beautiful. Both her facial features and her demeanor are as otherworldly as a fairy. Just looking at her face makes people doubt whether she exists in this world.

The woman's eyes moved and her gaze shifted, meeting Chu Shitong's gaze in the bronze mirror.

Chu Shitong was stunned.

My brain is shutting down at this moment.

She rarely doubted herself, but at this moment, she couldn't help but blink her eyes and breathe rapidly to see clearly.

The woman in the bronze mirror curled her lips and smiled, as if she was amused by her silly actions.

The vivid expression and nonchalant smile instantly made Chu Shitong's dead heart boil again.

Her lips trembled as she wanted to call out that name, the name she had silently repeated in her heart thousands of times, but she didn't dare to, for she was afraid of being disappointed again.

Chu Shitong was struggling and hesitating frantically in his heart.

The woman in the mirror slowly spoke.

"My son, why don't you speak to your mother?"

Her voice was exactly the same as in my last dream.

Just one sentence was enough to break Chu Shitong's defense, and his pupils instantly became moist.

She finally had the courage to call out that name, "Mother..."

The smile on the woman's face deepened a little. She stood up gracefully and elegantly, holding Chu Shitong's hand, and looked at her face full of sincere longing and tears.

"Why are you crying?" The woman's delicate jade-like hands gently wiped away the tears on Chu Shitong's face and stroked her face. Her long eyelashes concealed the old age and fatigue in her eyes.

"My son must have had a hard time finding me all the way."

Chu Shitong bit her lip, trying her best to not look so fragile and pitiful. She forced her eyes, which were blurred with tears, and shook her head, revealing a forced smile.

The tip of my nose turned slightly red and I couldn't utter a word, for fear that if I said one more word, tears would fall again.

The woman touched her face as if with heartache, her fingertips slowly moved down, stroked her chin, and in an instant tightly grasped Chu Shitong's fragile and slender neck.

Chu Shitong was strangled by her harshly, and the joy in his heart was shattered.

The woman's beautiful face became hideous and distorted, and she exerted more and more force in her hands.

Chu Shitong couldn't breathe and frowned in pain. The tears that had been in her eyes just now fell down as if mocking her stupidity.

The woman's voice also became full of hatred, sharp and piercing, and she laughed madly in her ear.

“Hahaha, you bastard, how dare you show up in front of me? How dare you admit that you are my child! Don’t you know what your father did? If they hadn’t imprisoned and insulted me! You bastard wouldn’t even exist in this world!”

"No..." Chu Shitong held her hand tightly and tried to break free, "I'm not... not..."

The woman seemed to be enraged by her words. She exerted greater force in her hands, her face twisted, like a demon crawling out of hell, refusing to close her eyes and wanting to kill her to be buried with her.

"Bastard! You have the dirty blood of Master Chu's family flowing in your veins! Go to hell! Go to hell, die, die!"

Chu Shitong couldn't breathe at all, and couldn't think of anything. He could only resist relying on his body's instinct. His tears kept flowing and he kept repeating the same thing over and over in his mouth.

"I'm not... Mother... Don't kill me... Mother... Don't kill me..."

Listening to Chu Shitong's painful mumbling in his sleep.

Si Jingli hugged her, her whole body was burning hot, and he was so anxious that he couldn't contain himself.

"What's going on? Didn't you find someone to apply medicine? Why hasn't he woken up in a day?"

Nan Xue said uncertainly: "This... I don't know either. Maybe the arrow wound is nothing, but maybe the arrow is poisonous..."

"Then go to Jiangzhou and find another doctor."

"We have already found out where Doctor Gu is. She is in Jiangzhou. If His Royal Highness is willing, we can go and arrest her in His Royal Highness's name."

Si Jingli looked at her coldly, "Why use this prince's name? Didn't you use Chu Shitong's name to find her last time?"

Nan Xue suddenly knelt in front of Si Jingli and said very seriously: "His Highness changed the authority to handle some matters a few days ago. Currently, we are not qualified to directly use the people around His Highness, but His Highness said that if she is unable to handle matters due to an accident, everything will be left to His Highness the Crown Prince to decide. We cannot arrest people directly, but as long as His Highness the Crown Prince gives an order, we will go and capture them back."

Si Jingli paused, as if he didn't expect Chu Shitong to trust him so much.

Chu Shitong has kept many things hidden from Si Jingli over the years. It can be said that Si Jingli can't even tell her subordinates apart.

It's really courageous of him to give her the right to handle the matter directly.

"Go find her."

"Yes."

Nan Xue immediately took people out.

Si Jingli hugged Chu Shitong and gently smoothed her brows, his eyes filled with sighs of heartache.

"You are not afraid that if you make this decision, one day you will be in trouble and I won't let them save you. You dare to give your life to me directly... I don't know whether you believe me or not..."

......

When Gu Qiu Shui was captured, Chu Shitong had been unconscious for five days.

She was caught by Jianying while cursing, and she finished the medical examination while cursing again.

"Hey, I'm just confused. Every time Chu Shitong gets hurt, he's always near me. Could it be that he dares to go out and have fun just because I'm around?"

Si Jingli asked anxiously: "Don't talk about this anymore, tell me what happened to her first?"

During these days, he consulted many doctors, but none of them could cure Chu Shitong.

The arrow has been pulled out and the medicine has been given, but the patient just can't wake up.

The skin near the wound has turned purple, and there are spider-web-like fine lines all over the skin.

This made people wonder if she was poisoned, but the doctors in the surrounding county couldn't tell what kind of poison she had been poisoned by. Jianying could only follow the intelligence and capture Gu Qiu Shui.

Gu Qiu Shui was not in a hurry at all. He crossed his legs, picked up the cup and drank a sip of tea.

"Your Highness, don't worry. She is just poisoned. It's easy to cure, but it's a bit troublesome."

Nan Xue asked: "What kind of poison is it? What's the antidote? Tell me quickly, we can find any rare herb!"

Gu Qiushui looked at her and smiled meaningfully: "This disease... is easy to treat and difficult to treat. It does not require herbs. There is a ready-made antidote."

"Damn it, you little girl, hurry up and say what you want to say!" The raccoon slave urged angrily, "Otherwise, I will teach you a lesson right now!"

"Hmph." Gu Qiushui snorted coldly, "Okay, okay, you want to know, right? I'll tell you. The poison she was poisoned with is called Poison Spider Powder, which is made from the venom of a poisonous spider that can cause hallucinations. The poisoned person will be immersed in a dream and unable to wake up until death. The antidote is also very simple, just go to the Goddess Temple and ask for a Wind God Pill."

Hearing Gu Qiu Shui's words, hope instantly ignited in everyone's hearts.

After all, they are now at the foot of the Goddess Mountain. It's so close, so they should be able to retrieve the elixir soon.

Si Jingli immediately stood up and said, "Bishui, you stay here to guard Chu Shitong, I will go and ask for medicine."

Li Nu and Nan Xue also hurriedly followed.

After they left, Gu Qiu Shui sighed slowly.

"Tsk, you don't even listen to what I say. It takes a long time to go up the mountain twice."

Bishui asked curiously, "Why do you have to go up the mountain twice?"
