Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily
Chapter 205: The Clouds Disperse and the Sun Rises
This name was like a sudden rain. Through the rippling rain, Chu Shitong opened his eyes and seemed to see his previous life.
In his previous life, Will also liked to call her that.
Unlike Rushuang and others, Will was born into slavery due to family changes.
Since Chu Shitong bought him, he should naturally be his master.
He was not willing to call her "Your Highness" like other slaves, so as to use this title to ignore the fact that she was a slave.
Will liked to call her "Master", as if these two simple words full of abnormal relationship symbolized something.
Chu Shitong had been completely unaware of this before, but in his previous life, because he often took Will to various places, in order to retain his minimum dignity as a knife, he forced him to change his address to "Your Highness" like everyone else.
Hearing this name again now, I feel like I’m in a different world.
She realized belatedly that Will had long known about the rumors about him in the capital, and he was happy to call her that, as if these two words were a bond that could bind the two of them together.
He called her "Master", which meant he was her property.
It can’t be taken away and can’t be thrown away.
Waking up from the chaotic memories, she felt indescribable bitterness in her heart.
From her rebirth till now, she seemed to have been holding on to something firmly, but it was clear that she had been pushing more away.
Chu Shitong was lost in a trance of memories, staring at the person in front of him and unable to utter a word.
Qin Wei stroked the slightly cold instep of her feet with his warm palms. Such a cold and stiff person was forced to cry by her, and now he looked a little fragile.
He begged bitterly, word by word: "Master, I really know I was wrong, I promise there won't be a next time... I will retaliate against those who hurt you, and everyone will pay the price... Please forgive me this time... Don't chase me away again, you've already chased me away once..."
Recalling the ending after he drove Will away in his previous life, Chu Shitong was silent for a moment and said, "Do you know what you are saying? If you follow me, you will be ridiculed and insulted just like in your previous life. I may not succeed in my bid for the throne in this life. If I fail, you will follow me and die again."
"I'm not afraid."
Qin Wei raised his eyes and looked up at his highness. The colder and more noble she was, the more fascinated he was by her. It seemed that gazing at her so humbly, like being obsessed, had become some kind of unspeakable amusement.
"They are right. I am your little dog. I am willing to be covered in blood for you, and I am willing to leave no bones for you."
After many attempts, the final result was reached.
Chu Shitong finally had a moment of peace during these turbulent days and stopped pressing forward.
"This is the last chance I'll give you."
"Yes."
Chu Shitong glanced out the window and was about to tell Will to teach a lesson to those who had been disrespectful to her these days, but before she could say anything, she felt a slight warmth on the back of her foot.
As expected, she turned her head and watched him quietly from the instep, ankle, to calf, inch by inch.
The movements are pious and the eyes are obsessed.
Chu Shitong was silent for a moment, then raised his leg and kicked him hard in the chest.
Qin Wei seemed to have anticipated Chu Shitong's move. Although he had a strong reaction ability, he did not dodge. It was as if he deliberately let her kick him. He felt a pain in his chest and groaned as he endured it.
"presumptuous."
She said this nonchalantly with her chin propped up on her hand and her tone steady, but there was no sense of blame in her voice.
"I know my mistake."
Will lowered his eyes to hide the terrifying depth and morbid excitement in his eyes.
Chu Shitong was like a Khan recruiting soldiers. She listed all the people who had been rude to her in recent days. She also described the identities of those she didn't know their names. Her little notebook for remembering grudges was already full, and she was just waiting for someone to come back and support her.
"Go and teach them a lesson."
"Yes."
As if remembering something, Chu Shitong said, "Don't kill him."
Will hesitated for a moment and replied, "Yes."
……
Prince Rong's Mansion.
After Mu Jingfeng called Si Jingli over, he spoke a lot in a serious and earnest manner.
Although Si Jingli repeatedly assured him that Chu Shitong was not a heartless person and would definitely not abandon him after she succeeded to the throne, Mu Jingfeng was not completely unfamiliar with Chu Shitong. When he thought of this woman's methods and her ability to bewilder Si Jingli, he was somewhat worried.
"Grandfather, when will you return to Quanzhou?"
Mu Jingfeng saw that Si Jingli's eyes were filled with foolish clarity, no longer as cold and fierce as before. He almost wanted to strangle Chu Shitong's neck and ask her what she had done to him.
I always feel like I have finally raised my grandson into a wild wolf, but after sending him to Chu Shitong's hands, he turns back into a Husky within a few days.
"..."
Mu Jingfeng was so depressed that he said angrily, "What? Now you know to send me back! Isn't this the time for you to force me to abdicate?"
Si Jingli said guiltily: "Grandfather, I have said it before, my goal is not the throne. I want the throne for Tong'er. If she can come back alive, my goal has been achieved long ago."
"Do you think your King Qi is a man of long-lasting affection?!"
Mu Jingfeng slammed the table angrily: "Do you know that there are always superiors and subordinates among the wise men? If you give up the fight for the throne, it means that no matter how you live in the future, it will all depend on what Chu Shitong says! She is giving you some face now because of their past relationship, but what about the future? If she ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, and keeps thousands or hundreds of handsome men in her harem, do you have the ability to stop her?"
Si Jingli said: "She won't."
"..."
Mu Jingfeng covered his heart angrily: "You, you, you... you little beast! Do you know how much preparation I have made for you to force the emperor to abdicate? Now your uncle is still in the border city and can't come back! A woman's two or three sweet words have bewitched you like this! You are simply... simply as foolish as your mother!"
Si Jingli sneered, looking quite unshakable, and said, "What does grandfather want from me?"
Mu Jingfeng said: "Of course he will force his way to the throne! He will ascend the throne and become the emperor! His name will be passed down through the ages!"
Si Jingli spread his hands.
"and then?"
Mu Jingfeng was stunned.
Si Jingli asked: "What happens after you ascend the throne? Will you let me take care of state affairs?"
Thinking of his grandson's carefree life over the years, Mu Jingfeng really found it hard to imagine what it would be like for Si Jingli to be the emperor.
It is very likely that after two days of fatigue, he turned around, burned down the palace, and returned to Quanzhou to live a quiet life.
Si Jingli looked at him quietly and said, "I don't have the ability to govern a country. I wanted to be the emperor in the first place because only that position would allow me to mobilize everyone to find Chu Shitong. Now Chu Shitong is back with me. She wants that position. If I fight with her again... wouldn't that be completely disregarding our relationship as husband and wife?"
Mu Jingfeng fell into deep thought for a long time, and said: "She is not suitable for that position. If you ask me, it is still more suitable for King Yuan to sit in that position. Chu Shitong... is too selfish. It is better to let her be a prince than to let her be the emperor. She can live a leisurely and happy life without too much power. It is enough for her to be with you."
Si Jingli noticed that Mu Jingfeng had other thoughts, and immediately stopped him, saying, "Grandfather, don't take sides, otherwise Chu Shitong will definitely think it was my idea."
Mu Jingfeng said: "It's okay, I'll talk to her in person..."
As he was speaking, a man rushed into the room.
"My Lord! Something happened!"
Si Jingli remembered that this person had been guarding Prince Qi's mansion. Hearing this, he immediately stood up and asked, "What's wrong? Is Prince Qi in trouble?"
"It's not Prince Qi!" the man said, "It's one of Prince Qi's men! He attacked us brothers without saying a word, including the maids in the yard, the cooks in the kitchen, the carpenters in the backyard... He beat more than twenty people in a row!"
When Si Jingli heard that Chu Shitong was not in trouble, he sat back down and asked, "Why did you do it?"
"There's no reason... It doesn't seem so. The boy seemed to have said something... Who was disrespectful to His Royal Highness Prince Qi? There were too many people when the fight started, so I didn't hear it clearly."
Si Jingli guessed roughly that this man was sent by Chu Shitong to seek revenge.
"There is actually such a brave man under King Qi's command?" Mu Jingfeng was slightly surprised and asked, "Where is that kid? Bring him here so I can ask him what's going on."
The man said, "My Lord, he...beat the man and left..."
Mu Jingfeng:?
"With so many of you, you can't beat just one person?!"
The man said bitterly: "My Lord, you really can't blame us. His Kung Fu is indeed incredibly high, almost inhuman! The soldiers guarding Prince Qi's Mansion are already the best in the team. When facing him, we are no match at all. I don't know where that man came from..."
Mu Jingfeng looked at Si Jingli. He didn't know that Chu Shitong had such a person under his command.
After hearing the description, Si Jingli's heart sank.
No wonder Chu Shitong regards Qin Wei so seriously.
No wonder Chu Shitong confidently entrusted the task of assassinating the general of Xifeng Kingdom to him alone.
I think Qin Wei's ability alone is enough to match that of an elite force.
Thinking that Qin Wei might be right next to Chu Shitong, he couldn't sit still.
"Grandfather, I'm going to Prince Qi's Mansion."
"Be careful, Chu Shitong won't let that person do something to you too, right?"
Si Jingli paused and said, "I am not a useless person who has no ability to fight back. Chu Shitong will not allow him to do that to me. Grandfather, don't worry."
……
The afternoon sun carries with it a hint of late autumn chill.
Si Jingli hurried into the courtyard. Most of the guards originally guarding Prince Qi's Mansion were injured by Qin Wei. Now there was not even a shadow of a guard to be seen in this empty courtyard.
He raised his eyes and saw Chu Shitong basking in the sun on a rocking chair. She had her eyes closed as if she was sleeping, her long jet-black hair was scattered and not tied up, and she was covered with a thin blanket.
The man he hated the most, named Qin Wei, was sitting on a low stool next to Chu Shitong, busying himself with something in a bamboo basket with his head down.
When I got closer, I saw that he was peeling chestnuts.
An ordinary dagger seemed to become a living creature that understood human language in Qin Wei's hand. He could skillfully peel off the chestnut shell with spikes in just two or three moves, take out the chestnuts and throw them into the plate beside him without any pause. Even if his hands were bleeding from the thorns, he seemed not to feel it.
Si Jingli froze in place, not knowing how to get closer for a moment.
It was clear that he and Chu Shitong had been separated for less than two hours, but this strange scene made him feel that Chu Shitong seemed like a different person.
Qin Wei discovered it when Si Jingli was admitted to the hospital, but he didn't say anything and didn't intend to pay any attention.
Si Jingli hesitated for a moment and slowly approached.
"Chu Shitong..."
Chu Shitong opened his eyes lazily and said in a calm tone: "The prince is here."
It's coming, not coming back.
After Qin Wei beat up and threw out those outsiders, the sovereignty here naturally returned to her hands.
Si Jingli glanced at Qin Wei standing beside him, feeling quite jealous, but he did not show it on the surface.
"Why did you wake up so early? It's cold outside. Let me carry you inside to rest."
Because Qin Wei and he had quarreled several times before and he had suffered so much, he had learned his lesson and did not dare to criticize Qin Wei in front of Chu Shitong easily.
"It's cold inside too." Chu Shitong said, "This weather is the most annoying. It's too early to light the floor heating and the stove, but if we don't, the house will be very cold. Let's just bask in the sun."
Si Jingli didn't insist and dragged a chair to her side.
Qin Wei had been peeling chestnuts diligently, and for a moment, Si Jingli really couldn't find any reason to mention him.
"I heard... your men injured a lot of my men. Did you know about this?"
Chu Shitong said: "I let you go."
Si Jingli was silent for a moment, then asked, "But those people were disrespectful to you?"
"Yes."
This was what Si Jingli guessed.
Now that I heard the answer, I feel relieved.
"If they made you unhappy, you should have told me earlier. Why bother with this? My grandfather was there at the time. After hearing the report from the soldiers, he became quite curious about the man under your command."
"I had such a fierce argument with His Royal Highness before, what good would it do even if I told him?"
"What you said, can I still let others bully you?"
Chu Shitong smiled slightly and said, "The people in the mansion before were all your people, so they naturally regarded you as their leader. Since you and I were not on good terms, they were snobbish and targeted me. Isn't this understandable?"
Looking at Chu Shitong now, Si Jingli seemed to realize belatedly what was different.
Previously, Chu Shitong was always cautious about the people around him, whether he was talking or doing things. Now that most of his people have been cleared out, Chu Shitong is no longer cautious, and his every frown, smile and talk seem to have returned to the way he was a year ago.
Just because Qin Wei came back, she could feel relieved like this.
This made Si Jingli even more wary of Qin Wei, and he finally understood what Mu Jingfeng said.
The positions of him and Chu Shitong in their relationship returned to what they were at the beginning, he followed and she took the lead.
However, Si Jingli never thought that he could be the dominant one between him and Chu Shitong. He had lost on the most basic level of emotion. It was true that Chu Shitong had feelings for him, but definitely not as much as he did.
There was no balance between the two of them, but because she was surrounded by him a few days ago, they were able to barely achieve a situation where he was in a dominant position.
I feel an indescribable depression in my heart.
Si Jingli took the initiative to change the subject and said, "Such a thin blanket will leak air."
"Kind of."
He reached out to cover her with the blanket, but before his hand touched her, another bony hand got there first.
Qin Wei didn't know when he put down the chestnut and the dagger. After covering Chu Shitong with a blanket, he looked at Si Jingli coldly and said, "Your Highness, it's better not to get close to my Highness in the next few days."
