Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

Chu Shifeng used the most boastful tone, mercilessly hurting Chu Shixuan's heart.

"She hates you more than I do, and wants to kill you more than I do."

Chu Shixuan's face, which usually remained calm, suddenly turned terribly cold after hearing these words.

There was a flash of sharpness in his eyes, and the murderous intent of shame and anger swept across Chu Shifeng ruthlessly.

For the first time, Chu Shifeng clearly felt that Chu Shixuan wanted to kill him.

The kind of naked murderous intent that cannot be hidden at all!

He felt a twisted sense of pleasure in his heart. The feeling of being able to hurt Chu Shixuan so badly was simply too comfortable.

"Chu Shixuan." Chu Shifeng curled his lips lightly and mocked unscrupulously: "You placed Liu Yi next to me in the beginning, and wanted to use me to kill her. You didn't even want to leave her a chance to live, right? Liu Yi's arrow almost took her life. You are so cruel, why are you pretending to be affectionate now?"

Chu Shixuan lowered her long eyelashes slightly, and the moment she closed her eyes, all her emotions were hidden in her dark and deep pupils.

He took a deep breath, and the moment he opened his eyes again, he returned to his usual calm.

Just like the loss of composure just now was just Chu Shifeng's imagination.

"I didn't really want to kill her, you know that."

"So what? That almost killed her!"

Chu Shifeng snorted coldly. He had never thought that Chu Shixuan's emotions would recover so quickly and so steadily.

No matter how much he ridiculed her, Chu Shixuan turned a deaf ear to her and never showed any sign of misbehavior again.

He maintained a cold and hard defensive attitude all over his body.

It was as if I had been hurt by such words thousands of times, and the wounds had become immune to all poisons.

This makes it seem that Chu Shifeng's vicious and hurtful words were just scratching the scars.

"No matter what you say, I will not let my father kill you."

Chu Shixuan's words came out lightly, and Chu Shifeng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Even the smile on his lips faded at this moment, turning into silence as thick as ink, spreading in the narrow and dark cell.

He didn't believe at all that Chu Shixuan spoke like this out of so-called brotherhood.

There must be some other plot.

"Why? Your Highness the King of Kite, do you want to show off your kindness and friendship?"

Chu Shifeng looked at him with a sneer, the corners of his eyes actually turned red with anger. The feeling of being spared by Chu Shixuan was even more painful than death.

"When has this king ever been virtuous?"

Chu Shixuan withdrew his gaze calmly, and raised his chin with a bit of contempt, "I don't have any brotherly feelings towards you."

Chu Shifeng clenched his teeth instantly, his eyes turned terrifyingly red.

It turned out that she was deliberately humiliating him!

He even suspected that Chu Shixuan spared his life in order to torture him better in the future!

Chu Shifeng was not the type to be cowardly and submissive. Even in the current situation, he pretended to be nonchalant.

He raised his head lazily, his eyes slightly curved, and smiled happily and elegantly, as if going to the execution ground to die the next moment was a kind of relief for him.

"I would rather die than have you pretend to be so affectionate here!"

"I don't care whether you live or die."

The change in Chu Shixuan's eyes just now had long since disappeared, and what remained now was still an empty calm.

Neither sad nor happy, like an empty shell without a soul.

He turned around and faced the endless darkness, as if talking to himself, or as if talking to someone who did not exist.

"I'm keeping you here only because you're still useful."

"Ha——" It is true.

Chu Shifeng sneered, "Then you miscalculated. I would rather die here than be used by you."

Chu Shixuan glanced back slightly, with a hint of obscure sharpness flashing in his eyes.

"I'm not using you, but you still have value to Xiao Qi."

Even though it had come to this, when Chu Shifeng heard the name "Xiao Qi" again, the forced smile on his face instantly disappeared, turning into a silent silence.

He was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke.

"What value do I have to Xiao Qi?"

His mother's family, wealth, status and power, which he was so proud of, had long since disappeared.

Is there anything else that Chu Shitong can use?

Chu Shixuan said: "When Xiaoqi succeeds to the throne, you will know."

No one knows that Chu Shifeng is the last life-saving medicine he left for Chu Shitong in the event that he falls into madness in the future.

Upon hearing this, Chu Shifeng's eyes widened in astonishment, "What do you mean by that? Don't you intend to seize the throne?!"

"Ever since Xiao Qi had the intention of taking over the throne, I have never thought about it again."

As he finished speaking, the entire cell fell into an eerie silence.

The silence was so quiet that it almost swallowed up Chu Shifeng.

Chu Shixuan felt that there was no need to waste any more time talking to Chu Shifeng, so he left after saying his piece.

......

Not long after, the prison guard brought Xue Qing to Chu Shifeng's cell.

When he saw Xue Qing, Chu Shifeng thought it was Chu Shitong who came. The expectation in his eyes just rose, but when he saw the face clearly, it was instantly dashed.

"Why did you send him here?" Chu Shifeng questioned the prison warden in a bad tone.

The prison guard sneered, "His Highness Prince Yu's male favorite risked his life to ask for a gift from His Highness Prince Yuan. Doesn't His Highness Prince Yu have any gratitude for this?"

"I don't need it!" Chu Shifeng's anger instantly rose, "Let him go!"

The prison guard ignored his words. Anyway, he had accomplished the task assigned by Chu Shixuan. He left Xueqing behind and turned away.

Xue Qing looked at the now embarrassed Chu Shifeng and couldn't stop crying with tears of heartache.

He walked forward cautiously, wanting to take a look at the scars on Chu Shifeng's body, but was pushed away harshly by Chu Shifeng.

"Get lost!" Chu Shifeng was like an angry lion, and he tensed his muscles alertly. "I don't need your sympathy! Do you think that I am in the same class as you, a low-class person, just because I have lost power? Even if I die without a complete body, it is not your turn to come here and sympathize with me!"

His bluffing insults were simply because he was too aware of his current situation.

Chu Shifeng used to be a powerful person, and he was so unrestrained and carefree in front of Xue Qing.

Now he is in disgrace and awaiting the death sentence.

There was a huge difference in status and position, and at this moment, the originally fragile self-esteem was stubborn and refused to give in the slightest.

Chu Shifeng felt that it was a fate worse than death for him to appear in front of his former male favorite in such a shameful and embarrassing manner.

"Your Highness!" Xue Qing's eyes were red from crying. For the first time, she mustered up the courage to step forward and hug Chu Shifeng.

"When will you understand? Everyone around you has left, and only Xueqing is sincere to you! Xueqing wants nothing. Even if Your Highness has nothing, Xueqing is willing to stay by Your Highness' side and serve him for the rest of his life."

Until this point, Xue Qing didn't dare to hug Chu Shifeng tightly.

He was afraid that his lowly status would tarnish His Highness's reputation.

Chu Shifeng's body shook violently. In such a dark cell, he suddenly felt dizzy.

This was the boldest time Xueqing had ever acted in front of him.

Such bold and straightforward words made Chu Shifeng feel that his heart in his chest seemed to still beating.

The heart that has been numbed by pain will actually beat violently for a moment because of a person's sincere confession.

"you......"

Chu Shifeng stretched out his voice, but after he opened his mouth and said one word, there was no further words.

He knew too well that he had nothing now.

So faced with such a heart, Chu Shifeng seemed to have lost any way to deal with it.

He could no longer promise Xueqing anything as generously as before, and now he couldn't even save his own life.

Without all the wealth and status, Chu Shifeng found that he had nothing to give to others.

For the first time, he felt his own embarrassment and poverty.

Xue Qing realized that she had broken the rules and immediately retracted her action. Just like she did in Prince Yu's Mansion before, she knelt down gently and obediently and wiped the tears from her face.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. Xue Qing has overstepped her bounds."

Chu Shifeng looked at him in silence for a long time, then slowly said, "You don't have to do this."

"The rules cannot be forgotten."

Xue Qing seemed to be still alive in Prince Yu's Mansion, and the look she gave Chu Shifeng was as full of distant admiration and awe as ever.

Chu Shifeng didn't say anything else. Xue Qing stood up and began to clean up the dark prison for Chu Shifeng very consciously.

His heart broke when he saw the licorice and the worn-out water bowl scattered all over the floor.

The more I cleaned up, the more sad I felt for Chu Shifeng.

"Your Highness has been living here these days, it's really unfair."

"I am no longer Prince Yu. I am just a prisoner now."

Chu Shifeng sighed and finally calmed down.

Xue Qing said stubbornly: "Your Highness is Your Highness, no matter what."

"As you wish."

Chu Shifeng lay on the hay, his eyes empty, recalling everything he had seen today.

Chu Shitong’s determination.

Chu Shixuan's gaffe.

And...Xue Qing's loyalty.

His eyes accidentally swept over Xue Qing's figure. Xue Qing was busy cleaning out a clean place, spreading the little soft hay in the cell, and then putting a clean cloth on it. Then she stood up and walked towards Chu Shifeng.

Chu Shifeng looked at him. The violent heartbeat he had just felt was like a plunge into stagnant water. There was no response at all.

Sure enough, if you don’t like it, you just don’t like it after all.

Maybe she would take him as her male lover.

Maybe I will be deeply moved by his sincerity for a moment.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, Chu Shifeng's mind was filled with the image of Chu Shitong.

Chu Shitong was willing to come and see him, listen to him, and stay for him again and again.

Maybe...if what Chu Shixuan said was true, as long as Chu Shitong also asked to protect him, he could really keep his life in this world.

Maybe... that time in Jingzhou, Liu Yi was too ruthless and hurt her heart...

He was so deeply in love with Chu Shitong that he couldn't even hate him.

Even at this point, he was still ridiculously trying to find excuses for Chu Shitong.

"Your Highness, it's cold here. Go over there and rest."

Xue Qing helped Chu Shifeng to stand up.

Chu Shifeng took a look at the chains on his body and found that Xue Qing was actually very smart. The place where she tidied it happened to be within the range of the chains.

"Ah."

After Xue Qing helped Chu Shifeng lie down, she prepared to go and clean up somewhere else.

Chu Shifeng suddenly called him.

"lilac."

Xue Qing stopped and looked back, her wet little deer eyes still showed a secret joy, as if being able to serve Chu Shifeng was the best thing in the world for her.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?"

"If I am lucky enough to survive, I will definitely be expelled from the royal family and live my whole life as a criminal in the clan house."

Xue Qing was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "Xue Qing is willing to follow His Highness and serve His Highness in the clan residence for the rest of her life."

Chu Shifeng didn't mean that. "I remember you are only seventeen years old this year, still young. You may regret the decision you make now. If you want, I can find a way to get rid of your relationship with Prince Yu's Mansion, give you some money, and you can go back to Jiangzhou to live your own life."
