Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

"Chu Shitong."

He murmured, "Don't hate me, I just want to keep you so much."

During the quarrel at night, he gritted his teeth and uttered almost every word in pain.

Those hurtful words were like cold and sharp knives. When they came out of his mouth, he was the first to be cut.

His dark eyes and hoarse voice were about to collapse, as if he could no longer bear the torrent of longing. The person he had been thinking about day and night was right in front of him, but he didn't dare to touch her at all.

"never mind."

Si Jingli said: "You'd better hate me. I hate you too, so that we can fight endlessly."

I hate you because I love you so much it hurts.

I hope you hate me, because hating me is better than not loving me.

……

As soon as Si Jingli walked out of Prince Qi's Mansion, he saw someone waiting at the door.

"My Lord, the Marquis invites you over."

"understood."

He didn't even stay in Chu Shitong's room for a cup of tea.

Even so, he was still called away by Mu Jingfeng when he returned to Prince Rong's Mansion.

The original courtyard of Prince Rong is now Mu Jingfeng's courtyard. Si Jingli's biological father, Prince Rong, was thrown into the dungeon along with Lu Jiushang the day after he came back.

That was the proof he made to show his sincerity, to show his sincerity and to show his determination.

There was only one candle burning in the room, and darkness invaded the four corners of the room like a wild beast waiting for its chance to strike.

Si Jingli stood in front of Mu Jingfeng without saying a word, like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting to be blamed.

Mu Jingfeng stared at him for a long time and let out a long sigh.

"I went to see her again."

"Yes."

"I don't know whether it's God's will or God's will." Mu Jingfeng murmured, "You've been looking for her for so long, you've gone crazy and exhausted, and when you were about to succeed, you chose to come back at this time."

After a moment, Si Jingli said, "Even if she comes back, she can't stop me."

Mu Jingfeng sneered, "Don't forget, her desire for the throne is much stronger than yours. You becoming emperor is just a matter of convenience. She is risking everything for this and will never let you do it so easily. The imperial family is the most ruthless. I guess the little affection you had for your husband and wife will be gone after seeing you today."

Si Jingli turned his head and said, "It doesn't matter if she's gone. As long as I can get that position, she will always be in my hands."

This was the only thing he had realized in this long year.

He must get that throne.

Only in this way, only with absolute authority and voice, can he keep her.

He didn't want to lose the ability to find her, let alone the ability to possess her, so he was madly preparing to force the emperor to abdicate, trying to use his supreme position to gain the ability to search the entire country for her openly.

Now that Chu Shitong is back, his desire for the throne has become even stronger.

He longed to have that position because only there could he possess her completely.

He didn't want to wait for her to ascend the throne and then be kicked away, nor did he want to be abandoned by her as they wasted their time. He wanted to possess her absolutely and wholeheartedly! Even God couldn't separate them!

Only by getting that position can he tell her to the world openly, lock her by his side forever, and make sure that she will never have the idea of ​​abandoning him no matter how long the time passes.

The only temptation of the throne to him was that he could possess her completely.

"Before Chu Shitong was here, I supported and believed your idea."

Mu Jingfeng said: "But what you did today..." He sighed, "She has only been back for less than three days, and you can't help but want to see her?"

Si Jingli said, "It was because she dropped the food today that my grandson went to see her. I will be careful in the future and try not to see her again before the matter is completed. I will also make sure that no matter how we meet, I will never touch her."

Mu Jingfeng said, "Forget it. I know your temper. If you want to see her, go ahead. Just don't touch her. You've been separated for a year. It's a good thing that she can come back alive. You... don't think too much."

"My grandson knows."

"Besides." Mu Jingfeng pondered, "The identity of Prince Qi is no longer suitable for you to be your legal wife, and it is even more impossible for her to be the heir of a country in the future. I think Miss Xu Bingqing from the Xu family is very good. You have been very close to her in recent days. If you are willing, she is quite suitable."

"Grandfather, stop talking nonsense."

Si Jingli laughed at himself and said, "I am so obsessed with Chu Shitong that I don't have room for anyone else."

"The legal wife is the legal wife, and Chu Shitong is Chu Shitong. There is no delay."

Mu Jingfeng said: "Your future queen will definitely not be her. You like her now, and considering the relationship between husband and wife, then keep her. She won't make a difference."

Walk out of the house.

Si Jingli felt pain all over his body.

It was obviously a good thing that Chu Shitong came back, but his heart seemed to hurt more than before.

Compared to never seeing each other again, the taboo of not being able to meet or touch each other now makes him feel more uncomfortable.

But he also knew that Mu Jingfeng's suggestion was for his own good.

No matter how soft-hearted he was towards her, he was already heartbroken just by the verbal quarrel between them from a distance. If they really touched each other, he was afraid that he would no longer be able to bear the grievances of this year and would destroy everything in front of him.

He really wanted to know where Chu Shitong had been in the past year.

Met someone.

Have you suffered any pain?

But he couldn't ask anything now, not even see her.

Mu Jingfeng agreed with him that they could meet once a day at most, and each time could not exceed the time of an incense stick, and the two could not have any contact.

Si Jingli thought that his grandfather really understood him well enough. He was afraid that if they got married, they would soon fall into the arms of a beautiful woman. All his arrangements for the past year would be destroyed by a few words from Chu Shitong.

no way.

He also hated it in his heart.

It's his fault that he is so useless that he is completely obsessed with her.

……

After having a big fight with Si Jingli, Chu Shitong racked his brains to think of how to contact his old subordinates.

Rather than contacting Ji Shu, Jianying and others, no, Jianying was dead. She wanted to contact Qin Wei more.

Logically speaking, Qin Wei would definitely go looking for her if she disappeared, but after her rebirth, she was always a little skeptical about Qin Wei's loyalty. She always felt that Qin Wei was not as loyal to her as he was in her previous life. But when she thought about it, she did not completely trust Qin Wei in her previous life either.

Perhaps during the time when people are able to be aware of themselves, they always have wavering doubts about everyone.

So in her indecision, she could only conclude that Qin Wei was going to find her.

The news of her appearance should have spread throughout Beiqing. Chu Shitong guessed that Qin Wei would show up in a few days, so she was not in a hurry.

This mad dog will always be her trump card. Even if she has doubts about him, her dependence on him is an indisputable fact.

She believed that he would find a way to rescue her, after all, there was no other way at the moment.

Si Jingli has grown a lot in this year. The guards in her yard have never been fixed. They are rotated in three waves every day, and there will never be any repetition.

The servants who delivered meals every day were all dumb and illiterate, eliminating any possibility that she could bribe people with words.

Surrounded by secret guards, she could neither escape nor try to harm herself.

He did everything he could to defend himself against her.

Chu Shitong was too lazy to make a feeble struggle.

As long as one of Song Nian, Qin Wei or Ji Shu comes back, she will be fine.

For several days, the place where she was confined had expanded from the dormitory to the entire yard.

Si Jingli came every day, but the two never spoke.

Every evening he came with the sunset, had dinner, and left without even a glance.

Sometimes he wore light armor, sometimes he wore a long robe, but more often he wore ink-black like she used to.

Never wore that red again.

Sometimes when Chu Shitong accidentally glanced at his face, he felt a little strange. Si Jingli seemed to have grown up a lot. The cinnabar between his eyebrows was gone, and the bright red clothes and dazzling accessories were gone.

The clothes and accessories seemed to have changed during the time she was away, but she couldn't remember when the bright red cinnabar disappeared from between his brows.

Chu Shitong calculated the days and estimated that it would take about ten days for Song Nian to arrive in the capital. She tried to think of a way to send a message to the outside world, but there was no good opportunity.

This day, she finally got the chance.

It was also thanks to the seed she once planted - Rushuang.

Chu Shitong sent Rushuang to Si Jingli because her independence was too strong. Now, the former weak spot has become Chu Shitong's only hope.

Rushuang has been following Si Jingli for the past year, and now naturally she is following Si Jingli's instructions to guard Chu Shitong.

The secret guards who monitor her change every day. It is not surprising that they become Rushuang. It cannot be said that Si Jingli is very confident in Rushuang. As a shadow guard, Rushuang has the ability to make people believe in her.

Fortunately, Chu Shitong had a trick up his sleeve. The person was sent away, but the indenture was gone.

Chu Shitong sat at the desk and searched for a long time, found a contract of sale and placed it on the table.

"Rushuang, look at what this is."

The study was quiet.

Rushuang did not appear.

She is now Si Jingli's subordinate. Since Chu Shitong sent her away, she naturally will not continue to listen to Chu Shitong.

"This is your indenture."

Rushuang did not appear. Chu Shitong also continued: "I remember that my father asked a row of shadow guards to stand out for me to choose. I fell in love with you at first sight, and you have been by my side ever since."

"You have been with me for so many years, and most of my secret guards were trained and selected by you... I don't know which is more tiring, the days in the Shadow Pavilion or the days by my side... I vaguely remember that you refused to accept the New Year's money when I gave it to you last time, and you only accepted it when the Bishuisai came to you."

Chu Shitong muttered to himself: "What did you buy with the money... Let me think... Hmm, it seems like you bought a house, right? Because I said at the time that I would set you free after I ascended the throne, and I didn't use the Moon Antidote on you like the secret guards of other families did..."

Rushuang slowly walked out of the darkness, with an unknown mood, and came to Chu Shitong with difficulty to pay her respects.

"Your Highness, stop talking."

"What's wrong?" Chu Shitong looked at her innocently, "I was not bad to you before, why can't I mention it now? Did I abuse you?"

"Of course not."

Rushuang half-knelt on the ground with her head held high. She naturally knew what Chu Shitong wanted to do by mentioning the favor of recognizing her, but she also knew what this meant to a shadow guard who was devoted to one master.

"If it's not abuse, why can't we say it?"

Chu Shitong raised the corners of his lips and deliberately raised the indenture in his hand: "I haven't even had time to give the indenture to Si Jingli yet, you forgot about me too quickly."

Rushuang lowered her eyes and said resignedly, "Your Highness, what do you need me to do?"

"It's simple. I just ask you a few questions."

A moment of silence.

Rushuang said, "You say."

Chu Shitong asked, "How is the capital city?"

Rushuang said: "The prince is in control of the situation, diligently training soldiers to defend the city, and intimidating other states and cities. King Yuan did nothing."

Chu Shitong asked, "How are Prince Duan and Prince Han?"

Rushuang said, "Prince Duan is dead, and everyone in the mansion is dead. Prince Han stayed in the mansion all day, doing nothing."

"died?"

Chu Shitong felt a lump of anger stuck in his chest, "Who the hell killed him?!"

The moment she asked this question, the answer suddenly popped into her mind.

Rushuang said, "Prince."

Chu Shitong looked gloomy and asked, "How did he die?"

She wanted to know if it hurt.

Chu Shihuan had harmed her to such an extent that if he died too easily, it would not satisfy her at all. She had to dig up his grave, grind his bones and scatter his ashes.

"The flesh of Prince Duan's lower body was cut off, leaving only bones. He was kept in a water dungeon for two months and tortured until wild dogs ate him up. Prince Duan's wife committed suicide. Concubine Xiang was tortured to death. Prince Duan's son died after his skull was crushed."

Chu Shitong laughed when he heard this, and he could roughly guess the process of how Si Jingli did this.

Most likely, other people's lives were used to allow Chu Shihuan to endure more than two months of torture before his death, otherwise Linglan would not have committed suicide.

Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I still felt a surge of resentment in my heart. But when I thought about how tragically he died, that nameless resentment no longer burned like a fire in my heart.

"Where are the people in my house?"

"Ji Shu led people to look for you, but Bi Shui was summoned to the palace by King Yuan."

Chu Shitong frowned and waited for the next words, but found that there seemed to be no next words, so he took the initiative to ask, "Where is Qin Wei?"

Rushuang glanced at Chu Shitong inexplicably and said, "Qin Wei came back and asked about your location, but then he disappeared. He must have gone to look for you."

Chu Shitong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Except for the capital, do other places know that I'm back?"

"Although the news has been blocked, it has been circulating. After all, you have already shown your face on your way to Beijing. It's just that the news is spreading a little slowly."

Chu Shitong asked, "Did the prince make any moves?"

She estimated that it would only take a few days.

Rushuang said: "Three days later."

Chu Shitong's expression turned slightly serious, "Are you sure?"

"determine."

Three days... If Ji Shu and the others hadn't learned the news when she arrived in Beijing and rushed back, it would have been too late. There was no news about Qin Wei's current location! And it was even more impossible for Song Nian to reach the capital in three days!

If she does not take action and fails to stop this within three days, wouldn't that really allow Si Jingli to become emperor?

Then what is the meaning of her rebirth? !

No.

She cannot let Si Jingli take the throne. If Si Jingli really becomes emperor, it will be even more difficult to overthrow him again once he is captured and brought into the palace. She must find a way to stop him!
