Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

"How about it?"

Song Huaijin looked at the imperial physician anxiously. A whole night had passed since Chu Shitong fainted.

Yesterday, after he carried Chu Shitong all the way back to the East Palace, he sought out an imperial physician to see him, but it was of no use. The bruised area overlapped with the wound from more than half a year ago, and Song Huaijin was afraid that the blow had completely damaged Chu Shitong's head.

The wedding day was approaching, and Chu Shitong should have been getting dressed and ready early this morning, but it was so late that she hadn't even woken up yet. Song Huaijin was almost going crazy.

"Normally speaking, if it was just a bruise, you wouldn't have to sleep for so long..."

The imperial physician felt the patient's pulse, his brows still furrowed.

"Is there any way you can wake her up?"

By the time Chu Shitong wakes up, she still has to spend time getting dressed up as a bride. There are only two hours left until the auspicious time. The Donggong wedding has already been announced to everyone in Qinglian, so the auspicious time cannot be wasted.

The imperial physician took out a silver needle and inserted it into Chu Shitong's acupuncture points. "This is the only way I can stimulate him."

A few silver needles were inserted into the acupuncture points, and the air in the room seemed to stagnate.

Everyone held their breath and waited for the person on the bed to wake up.

However, after a long time, Chu Shitong still did not wake up.

Song Huaijin became more and more anxious: "I don't care what method your Imperial Hospital uses, I must make Xiaoqi wake up before the auspicious time."

"Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will go and discuss this with the other doctors."

Song Huaijin sent everyone away and stood alone by the bed, holding Chu Shitong's hand, his brows full of worry.

"Xiao Qi..." He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and whispered, "Wake up soon. Today is our wedding day. Have you forgotten?"

Smoke rises from the incense burner.

The imperial doctors could not come up with a plan to forcibly wake the man up. They did have the option of violent means, but with Song Huaijin's protective attitude, they would definitely not be able to use them.

Everyone in the Eastern Palace was in a panic. Red ribbons were fluttering all over the courtyard, firecrackers and fireworks were placed all over the floor, countless musicians were guarding the bridal sedan, and the makeup girl was pacing back and forth waiting.

The bride never woke up, so the wedding could not go on at all.

I don’t know how much time passed, but the person on the bed seemed to move.

Song Huaijin immediately became excited.

"Xiao Qi! Xiao Qi, you are awake, right?"

The imperial physicians and makeup girls nearby all gathered around, as if they were ready to take Chu Shitong over to check her body and put on makeup as soon as she woke up.

Chu Shitong slowly opened his eyes, and when he vaguely saw Song Huaijin, he showed a look of great surprise.

"Am I... dreaming?"

Seeing her dazed look, Song Huaijin immediately summoned the imperial physician to check her body.

Chu Shitong was confused as a group of imperial doctors surrounded him and checked his pulse, but his eyes were always on Song Huaijin.

"Second brother, you died too?"

Song Huaijin was stunned.

"what?"

Chu Shitong looked around and asked blankly: "Am I alive or dead..."

Song Huaijin suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.

Lan Qi had never called him second brother before.

"Xiao Qi...you..."

The imperial physician examined Chu Shitong's body and said that she was fine. When the makeup lady was about to help Chu Shitong to put on makeup, Song Huaijin suddenly waved her hand and drove everyone out.

Suddenly, they were the only two people left in the room.

Chu Shitong touched the place where she was last pierced by the arrow in her memory and found that the wound had completely healed, leaving only a faint scar. She finally understood something belatedly.

"Brother, I'm still alive, right?"

When Song Huaijin heard this name again, he didn't know how to face her for a moment.

"You...you remember everything?"

"Remember what?"

Song Huaijin fell silent.

It's medicine.

The medicine finally took effect. Under the strong stimulation, Chu Shitong remembered everything that happened before as the imperial physician said. However, due to the problem of memory guidance in the amnesia state, she forgot what happened when she was Lan Qi.

Chu Shitong originally thought that she would feel extremely lucky after she survived, but looking at the scene in front of her, she always felt an indescribable sense of weirdness.

When he thought about how Chu Shihuan and his men had forced him to the cliff, the unwillingness in his heart surged up again.

"Where is this?" Chu Shitong stood up with the help of the bed, "Second brother, how did you save me?"

"This is... Qinglian."

At this moment, Song Huaijin had countless mixed feelings in his heart. The moment he saw Chu Shitong wake up, he knew that she had forgotten everything that happened during their more than half a year together.

The indescribable feeling of oppression turned into grief that gnawed at his heart and he couldn't help but tear up. The regret of just a few hours made him feel so uncomfortable that he almost suffocated.

"You were...rescued by my sister."

"Qinglian?"

Chu Shitong couldn't believe it. She thought she was dead, but unexpectedly, not only was she rescued inexplicably, but she also came to Qinglian, thousands of miles away.

"No! I have to go back quickly!"

She threw off the quilt and got out of bed, looking hurried.

"Brother, please help me and send me back quickly. Something happened at home. A bastard plotted against me and almost killed me. I must go back and stabilize the situation."

Chu Shitong opened the closet and wanted to pick out some clothes, but she found that the closet was full of women's clothes. After taking a few glances, she turned and asked Song Huaijin.

"Why are there only women's clothes? Are there any for men?"

Song Huaijin didn't say anything, but just looked at her silently, the complex sadness in his brows seemed to be wavering and unable to be relieved.

"Second brother? What are you staring at?"

Chu Shitong didn’t know what happened to Song Huaijin, she just wanted to return to Beiqing as soon as possible.

Song Huaijin had never experienced such a feeling before. It was obvious that they were about to get married, but it was as if God had played a huge joke on him, making him fall in love with her, and then waking her up on the day of their wedding.

Looking at Chu Shitong's eyes as clear as glass, Song Huaijin could clearly tell the difference between her and Lan Qi.

Chu Shitong looked at him as if he were just a sworn brother. Her memory even stopped at a year ago, which gave Song Huaijin an indescribable feeling.

It seemed as if the six months or so he had been with Lan Qi was just a dream he had imagined.

wake up.

Chu Shitong woke up.

Lan Qi doesn't exist at all.

Song Huaijin tried hard to suppress his grief, his eyes turned red, like a big dog with red eyes. He was obviously heartbroken but he still had to show a heartbreaking smile.

"Xiao Qi... do you remember what day it is today?"

He asked cautiously, hoping that Chu Shitong still remembered something about their past together.

But Chu Shitong didn't remember anything at all.

"What day?"

She didn't even wait for an answer after she finished speaking, and urged anxiously: "No matter what day it is, second brother, go and find me some clothes and a fast horse. I have to go back to Beiqing as soon as possible."

Song Huaijin's heart suddenly turned cold.

He stared at her, wanting to tell her everything that had happened in the past six months.

I really want to tell you that today is their wedding day.

I want to tell you every detail of their past.

But even though his lips opened, no sound came out of his throat.

Because he saw the murderous intent and cruelty in Chu Shitong's eyes. She was thinking about how to take revenge when she returned to Beiqing, and she had not remembered the love between them at all.

"Second brother, what are you doing?"

Chu Shitong really couldn't wait any longer. She was eager to go back for revenge. Seeing Song Huaijin's lost look, she became more and more anxious.

"Forget it, if you don't help me I'll go back by myself."

She found a slightly neutral white coat from the closet and put it on, picked up a ribbon and tied her hair, then was about to walk out.

Song Huaijin quickly came to his senses and thought of the dressers waiting outside, the sedan chair, the happy couple characters and red silk all over the yard. He stopped her like a guilty thief.

"Wait a minute, Xiao Qi!"

Chu Shitong patiently stopped.

"what happened again?"

She was really impatient.

Song Huaijin stepped forward, trying to act as if he was natural, and said, "Are you going back to Beiqing now? Your injury hasn't healed yet, why don't you stay here with me first..."

Chu Shitong interrupted him: "How long have I been here?"

Song Huaijin paused, "From the time you were injured to now... it's been almost a year."

"what?!"

Chu Shitong was horrified.

She simply couldn't imagine what huge changes had taken place in Beiqing in this year.

If she disappeared for a year without any reason, it is very likely that everyone would think she was dead!

Damn it, by the time she returns, that damn Chu Shixuan will have already succeeded to the throne, right?

"Get your horse ready now!" Chu Shitong couldn't wait any longer, "I have to go back now!"

"I……"

Song Huaijin wanted to say something, but when he saw Chu Shitong's expression, all the words he wanted to say got stuck in his throat and he couldn't say anything.

"Wait here for a moment, don't wander off... I'll have someone prepare your horse."

"Thank you, second brother."

Chu Shitong was so focused on guessing what changes might have taken place in Beiqing during this year that he had no time to consider Song Huaijin's eyes, which were almost about to shed tears when he said this.

Song Huaijin walked out of the door quietly, looking at the expectant eyes of the people in the yard, his heart aching.

"Your Highness, time is running out. Why don't we go and help the Crown Princess dress up now?"

He shook his head, the sound soft and painful.

"That's not necessary."

Seeing the puzzled looks of the makeup lady and the imperial doctors, Song Huaijin smiled bitterly and said, "All of you go down, and order people to remove these things from the yard as quickly as possible. Also... bring two more fast horses over."

Everyone seemed to have a vague guess about something.

They looked at each other, but couldn't believe it.

How could such a happy event announced to the world as the Eastern Palace's wedding be cancelled just like that?

Song Huaijin stood in the courtyard, watching the makeup maids and imperial doctors disperse, the bridal sedan being carried away, and the servants working in groups to peel off the happy couplets that were pasted all over the courtyard. The firecrackers that had not yet been lit and the unopened wedding wine were like slaps in his face.

He didn't even dare let Chu Shitong know about this.

Because Chu Shitong is not Lan Qi.

Chu Shitong is too smart and she also has her own ideas.

She would not stay here after hearing a few words like Lan Qi, nor would she need his protection like Lan Qi.

He and Chu Shitong were sworn brothers, and he didn't want to destroy this friendship.

If Chu Shitong knew that she was almost tricked into marrying him during the time when she lost her memory, she would definitely hate him.

Song Huaijin once hoped that the matter would be settled first, and then hoped that if Chu Shitong could not recover her memory, he would protect her for the rest of her life.

He even thought about how he would get her forgiveness when she regained her memory after a long time.

But he never thought that Chu Shitong would recover his memory at this time.

The happy characters all over the yard seemed like his dirty thoughts that he dared not let anyone know.

His feelings and emotions turned into a lie that took advantage of someone's misfortune, and at this moment he couldn't even let her know about it.

Song Huaijin didn't know what consequences Chu Shitong's departure would bring. With the sudden cancellation of the Eastern Palace wedding, he might become the most shameful prince in Qinglian's history.

But he didn't want to restrain Chu Shitong, and he knew that Chu Shitong was not Lan Qi and could not be bound by his feelings.

It was not until all the happy couplets in the yard were removed and servants came over leading two horses that he came to his senses.

"Your Highness, the horse is here."

"Ah."

Song Huaijin turned around and suddenly found that two lines of tears had fallen without him noticing.

Such cold tears seemed to announce that he and Lan Qi would never meet again in this life.

Lan Qi is dead, and only Chu Shitong is left in the world.

He wanted to delay for some time so that Chu Shitong could leave more slowly, but he knew in his heart that if he really delayed entering the palace until the auspicious time, there would be problems. Instead of doing this, it would be better to let Chu Shitong leave before the auspicious time, at least to preserve his dignity as the prince.

"Xiaoqi."

Song Huaijin walked into the house, the tears on his face had already been wiped away. He tried hard to pretend to be the same as they used to be as brothers, but he found that when he saw that face, his heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

So he didn't dare look at her.

"The horses are ready."

"Thank you, second brother."

Chu Shitong hurried out and said, "I'll come out to see you after I've settled things at home."

As the two passed each other.

Song Huaijin couldn't help but reach out and grab her.

Chu Shitong looked at him with an ambiguous expression, only to see his pair of red eyes. The sadness and reluctance in his eyes almost became tangible, as if his heart would be stabbed like a knife if he looked into those eyes.

“Second brother…?”

Song Huaijin's hands were shaking and he bit his lips tightly.

If you let go, you will lose her forever.

But if he didn't let her go, he couldn't keep her.

But he just couldn't bear to do it.

His brain clearly told his body to relax, but Ke Xin insisted on letting him hold on tightly and refused to let go, pulling him from the left and right.

Chu Shitong's look gradually turned from surprise at first to weirdness.

She felt that Song Nian was really weird.

Could something have happened in the past year or so? But Chu Shitong felt as if she had been sleeping for the past year or so and had no memory at all.

Her suspicion made her unable to help but look at him with the worst thoughts at this moment.

Did Song Nian discover her identity? Or did Beiqing undergo some changes in the past year? Otherwise, why did Song Nian suddenly hold her back?

"Second brother." Chu Shitong shook off his hand and said in a distant tone: "I really have to go. Thank you sister for saving me, and thank you for taking me in. I will repay you in the future. I have things to do now, otherwise it will be too late."

Song Huaijin seemed to have just woken up from a dream. He was unable to make a choice between the left and right options, but Chu Shitong did it for him.

Chu Shitong swiftly climbed onto the horse and looked around.

"Your family is quite wealthy."

It feels even more luxurious than Chu Shifeng’s courtyard back then.

Song Huaijin came back to his senses, took two steps after her, and got on the horse beside her.

"I send you."
