Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

The rain continued until midnight.

Chu Shitong tossed and turned for a long time but couldn't fall asleep.

The things in her heart seemed like thousands of knots, each of which crisscrossed and wrapped her up tightly, and she could not break free no matter what she did.

Especially regarding Chu Shifeng, she would get so angry that she couldn't sleep every time she thought about it.

Such a vicious person is either Chu Shixuan or Chu Shihuan.

Or it could be Chu Shihan who had not taken any action for a long time.

She must find a way to get rid of these three people.

Chu Shitong will not feel at ease until Qin Wei is found.

She gradually began to doubt the abilities of the people around her.

During those hours when she couldn't sleep, she thought about a lot of things about the people around her.

Those people are not incapable.

But he didn’t have the ability to find Qin Wei.

Chu Shitong had been thinking about Qin Wei's whereabouts. She couldn't wait to get the knife in her hands, but for some reason, it seemed as if God was against her and would not let her find it.

Qin Wei disappeared too completely.

It's even completely abnormal.

In his memory, his village and his family all seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, with no trace of evidence of their existence.

His existence is like Chu Shitong's grand delusion of absolute loyalty and absolute brutality before his death.

A ridiculous idea even popped into her mind.

Could it be...because of her rebirth, Qin Wei disappeared?

No.

impossible.

Chu Shitong tossed and turned, feeling upset.

She disdained to rely on others like this, but now the people around her made it very difficult for her to use them, as if forcing her to admit that she needed that sharp and handy knife and that loyal and ruthless dog.

In my mind, a scene from my previous life vaguely emerged like a bronze mirror that had been wiped clean of dust.

That was the late stage of the fight for the throne, and besides Chu Shitong, only Chu Shixuan was left in the court.

The situation is great.

Chu Shitong leaned lazily on the couch, flipping through the memorial submitted by his subordinates today to criticize Chu Shixuan. The more he read, the happier he became.

Qin Wei knelt at her feet, like a bullied puppy, with a bit of unspeakable grievance hidden between his cold brows.

A few strands of black hair covered his face, making it impossible to see his expression. He knelt on the ground for a long time, but his back remained straight.

He is the most powerful and most useful person under King Qi.

At this moment, just because he served the wrong cake to Chu Shitong, he was punished to kneel for two full hours.

Chu Shitong was in a good mood. When he put down the letter, he noticed from the corner of his eye that he looked a little aggrieved, so he slowly sat up straight, holding on to the table.

After bathing, she was only wearing a layer of snow-white inner clothes, with bare feet, which were carefully trimmed to be clean and tidy. When she lifted her pants, the trouser legs were pulled up, revealing a part of her white and tender ankles.

She lifted Qin Wei's chin gently with her toes as if she was teasing a dog, with an arrogant and domineering look.

The man's handsome and indifferent expression was somewhat out of control, the veins on his neck were faintly visible, the scent of flowers after the bath lingered around his nose, and Chu Shitong's frivolous actions made him feel like a prostitute selling his body in a brothel.

The feeling of shame and embarrassment strangely turned into a gorgeous blush that spread across her face.

But Chu Shitong did not see the restrained madness behind Qin Wei's calm eyes. To be precise, she did not even look carefully.

Because in her heart, Qin Wei is just a dog.

Whether she appeared in front of him wearing only her inner clothes, or put on his clothes when she was down and out, or even faced countless secret guards who wanted to assassinate her while being held in his arms, he was almost riddled with wounds, but she was unharmed.

She thinks it's the right thing to do.

With an obedient and loyal dog, there is no need to care about the differences between men and women, gratitude, or harmonious coexistence between master and servant.

It's all a joke.

She was arrogant at that time and didn't take anything seriously. She thought the throne was a sure win for her.

When Qin Wei was punished to kneel for two hours, he just said this in a nonchalant manner.

"Can't kneel anymore?"

Qin Wei pursed his lips and lowered his eyelids. No matter how cold and hard he looked, he spoke to her in an extremely cautious and obedient manner.

"I am guilty and I should accept the punishment."

The corners of Chu Shitong's mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes, as light as glass, were filled with a mocking smile.

"You seem very unconvinced."

The more obedient he was, the more angry Chu Shitong became.

At that time, Qin Wei's unprovoked loyalty until death made her unscrupulous.

Qin Wei whispered, "I dare not."

Chu Shitong deliberately added fuel to the fire: "If you are not convinced, you can tell me directly. I don't need a guard like you by my side. There are many people who are interested in your current position."

She did it on purpose.

When she had nothing to do, she liked to tease Qin Wei. Seeing the cold and rigid Qin Wei endure it again and again, it seemed that only the loyalty gained in exchange for endless temptations could calm her ever-suspenseful heart.

Qin Wei's eyes grew deeper silently, as if this sentence had touched his bottom line that he could not tolerate. The obedience he had always thought of was overturned by his own hands at this moment.

He slowly raised his eyes and met Chu Shitong's gaze.

Looking at those cold tea-colored amber pupils, those ice-cold, clear and emotionless eyes, there is always a sense of distrust that is testing.

Qin Wei seemed to finally be unable to endure it any longer and spoke with a cold expression.

"If Your Highness does not need me anymore, you can just say so. There is no need to test me like this. I will find another way to develop myself."

Chu Shitong's eyes, which were smiling in the previous second, seemed to have fallen into an icy cave in the next second, and were chilled to the bone. His slightly narrowed eyes held a dangerous aura, as if he could cut the person who said these words into pieces.

She could no longer hold her temper and slowly leaned closer, her voice cold but her tone still managed to remain calm.

"Will, you have the guts to say another word."

Qin Wei stared at him steadily, his eyes firm and unyielding, and said word by word: "If Your Highness does not need me anymore, I will leave."

Chu Shitong took a deep breath and tried his best to maintain the expression on his face.

The next second, without hesitation, a slap hit Qin Wei's face.

Not very strong.

The speed of hitting is not fast either.

With Qin Wei's martial arts skills, it would be easy for him to dodge.

But Chu Shitong knew it well.

He won't hide.

Qin Wei's head was slightly tilted when he was hit, and the faint red mark was particularly conspicuous on his already pale face.

"Is it because I have been too indulgent to you?"

Chu Shitong sneered: "Who do you think you are? If I leave you, will I be unable to seize the throne?"

At this moment, Qin Wei slowly turned his head, his eyes were deep, and his words were full of confidence, and he said with certainty: "You can't leave me."

The silent air carried the soundless smoke of gunpowder.

The confrontation between their eyes was like magma pouring into an iceberg.

Chu Shitong's violent temper is difficult to control, while Qin Wei's emotions are terrifyingly stable.

"Get out!"

Chu Shitong picked up the teacup on the table and threw it hard at Qin Wei.

The slightly cold tea spilled all over Qin Wei.

The cup also fell to the ground after hitting Qin Wei.

Fortunately, Chu Shitong hit him in the chest and not in the face.

Qin Wei stood up silently, bowed, and left in silence.

It was after this farewell.

Chu Shitong was angry and transferred Qin Wei to the outskirts as a guard.

A few days later, Chu Shiyu passed away. Chu Shitong could not wait to launch a mutiny. His true identity was exposed in front of all the officials, who defected to Chu Shixuan. Chu Shitong and all the guards around him were arrested for treason and rebellion.

While in prison, Chu Shitong heard that Qin Wei led his troops to surround the entire dungeon to rescue her, but it seemed that after everyone learned that she was a girl, even his soldiers began to rebel.

There was a traitor within the family, and Qin Wei failed to save the man and died from his injuries.

When Chu Shitong thought back to this incident, he suddenly remembered Qin Wei's words.

——You can't leave me

It seems that there is indeed a cause and effect.

If Qin Wei was there on the day of the palace coup, there would still be a chance that Chu Shitong would be able to leave.

But Chu Shitong didn't want to believe it.

If she believed it, wouldn't it mean that if she wanted that position, she really couldn't do without Qin Wei's help?

She had spent a lot of effort in the court to get to that day step by step. How could she be willing to admit that she needed the help of a slave when she was about to ascend to the supreme throne in the world?

It's just a dog, not a huge army. Why should she bow down to him?

But... I remembered the determined look on Qin Wei's face when he said that.

The anger and grievance in Chu Shitong's heart swept over like an overwhelming force.

Until she could no longer hold back her anger, she picked up the teacup on the table and threw it out.

"You're dreaming! I don't need it!"

"Bam—"

The sound of porcelain breaking could be heard one after another.

What accompanied it was a rage that Chu Shitong had never felt before, a rage that was like that of a trapped beast.

"I can do it without you! Who do you think you are?"

Bishui, who was on night watch, was startled. She hurried into the house to check, only to see broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

"Your Highness! Are you okay? Are you having a nightmare?"

When Chu Shitong heard the sound of clear water, it was as if his mind was pulled out of his past memories.

She gasped, as if waking from a nightmare.

Looking at the mess on the ground, the unspeakable grief and anger in my heart turned into sourness that filled my nose.

He pinched the flesh on his arm hard before swallowing the humiliation of his failure in his previous life.

"nothing."

Chu Shitong took a deep breath and said in a hoarse and tired voice: "You had a nightmare. You can go down first and we will clean it up tomorrow."

"Yes."

Before leaving, Bishui hesitated behind the screen for a long time before whispering, "Your Highness, Brother Ji has sent people to look for the man named "Qin Wei". I heard that thousands of people have been sent to search in various states this time. Your Highness, rest assured, we will find him."

"Understood, let's go down."

After Bishui left, the hall fell into silent darkness again.

After a long time of endless depression, a helpless and tired sigh was heard.

"I was wrong, come out quickly..."

Today it is today.

She finally admitted that her excessive attempt was wrong.

......

It was not until the early morning when the sound of rain gradually died down that Chu Shitong fell into a deep sleep with a frown on his brows.

I was granted special leave and because I went to bed late yesterday, I slept until noon.

I was awakened by the clear water.

"Your Highness, please get up quickly. The young marquis and Prince Si are waiting in the front hall."

Chu Shitong then opened his eyes in a daze, and remembered that yesterday, because Chu Shifan was ordered by Chu Shiyu to lead troops to the battle, he specially sent an invitation to the Princess's Mansion when he came back from the court.

She now doesn't know how to meet the eldest princess.

Because the eldest princess had asked her to wipe out the roots of the rebellion, Chu Shitong did not do so when she submitted the invitation.

Now that Chu Shifeng is blind, the whole capital city thinks that Chu Shitong did it. Chu Shitong can go and see the eldest princess.

As for Si Jingli...I don't know why he came here with Chu Shifan.

Chu Shitong rubbed his eyes and let Bishui help him get up and change his clothes.

"Where is my cousin from?"

"I came from the palace. Today, the young marquis was summoned to the palace. His Majesty ordered the young marquis to lead the troops to the battle, and also gave him a title, the two characters "Dingde". "

It seems there is no way to avoid it. The order has been received and it is impossible to take it back.

If you disobey the order, you will die. You have no choice but to go.

Chu Shitong could hardly open his eyes, and he understood something when he heard the title.

The eldest princess' title is "Wen De" and Chu Shifan's title is "Ding De". It seems that Chu Shiyu now has a grudge against the eldest princess, otherwise how could Chu Shifan, who was born a military general, use these two words.

No wonder Chu Shiyu asked Chu Shifan to go. It seems to be related to the eldest princess' recent movements.

Perhaps because she felt that she was too close to the eldest princess, the eldest princess was somewhat involved in Chu Shifeng's affairs.

"Let Ji Shu check the recent movements of the Princess's Mansion."

"Yes."

By the time Chu Shitong finished bathing and changing clothes, a quarter of an hour had passed.

She walked into the front hall as usual in black, and heard Chu Shifan and Si Jingli bickering as usual.

"You are such a talkative person. You are a marquis, but you still care about when others start their careers. You haven't even taken office yet, but you have learned to abuse your power and position."

These words were said by Si Jingli, and his tone was full of disgust.

Chu Shitong smiled helplessly, probably because Chu Shifan couldn't sit still anymore and complained a few words to Si Jingli.

Chu Shifan curled his lips and explained, "I'm just saying this. Your Highness, you're really harsh. What do you mean I haven't even been promoted yet, how can I not make achievements on the battlefield? Do you think my abilities are just to scare people? I'll be the first to charge forward on the battlefield. When I win a lot of military merits and come back to marry a wife, Your Highness, please don't say anything offensive to me. It's so annoying."

"I am so poor that I am jealous of you."

Si Jingli's words revealed an inexplicable sense of superiority, and he said, "It's impossible for this prince to be like you, unable to say a word in front of his wife, and as cowardly as a quail."

Chu Shifan was silenced and felt very aggrieved.

When he looked up and saw Chu Shitong coming in, his eyes lit up and he hurried forward to complain as if he had seen a savior.

"Xiao Qi, you are finally here. If you don't come, I will be scolded into a mute by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Chu Shitong smiled and glanced at Si Jingli: "Your Highness is not that kind of person, cousin, please don't exaggerate."

Si Jingli was still dressed in red, as bright as fire, just like himself, handsome and bright, with a noble aura that could be seen at a glance. No matter when you saw him, you would feel a sense of yearning for something perfect.

But he did not have the intention to refute Chu Shifan as he usually did.

Looking at Chu Shitong, his eyes were somewhat hesitant, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

Chu Shitong noticed that something was wrong with him, but he said nothing and didn't ask anything.

I wanted to talk to Si Jingli only after Chu Shifan left.

Bishui asked someone to bring up lunch.

Chu Shifan looked at the table full of food, his expression showing joy.

"Xiao Qi, your rabbit rice has finally become a full-course meal."

"Is this a full banquet?"

Chu Shitong chuckled and said, "I haven't eaten rabbit rice for a long time. These are Michelin's new products. My cousin should eat them often."

"No."

Chu Shifan couldn't stop eating, and he kept saying, "I've been in the military camp, and I haven't had such good food for a long time. I just got home and learned that you sent me a note, so I hurried over. I'll have to go back to the military camp after dinner, so I have to eat more here, otherwise I don't know when I'll have such good food next time."

Chu Shitong knew that this matter could not be undone, so he could only sigh and said, "Cousin, what does your aunt say about you leading the troops to the battle?"

Chu Shifan paused, and said in confusion: "What can I say? What else can I say? Of course I support you. A real man should start a family and a career. My mother supports me to go to the army, so she naturally supports me to lead the troops to war."

Chu Shitong's eyes became inexplicably deeper. She absentmindedly picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into the bowl, asking intentionally or unintentionally.

"So, cousin, how long do you think the battle will take this time? What are our chances of winning?"
