Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

"impossible."

Chu Shitong has already given this answer twice.

She understood Mu Jingfeng's concerns.

To be honest, she could understand Mu Jingfeng and Si Jingli's concerns, and even fear, of having someone like Qin Wei around.

They are afraid of Qin Wei simply because Qin Wei is full of uncontrollable factors.

Qin Wei is extremely strong in martial arts. Apart from his origin, he is no less capable than Si Jingli in appearance or courage. Compared to Si Jingli's madness, Qin Wei is no less capable. Si Jingli was able to force Chu Shitong to revolt, and Qin Wei dared to set fire to the city for Chu Shitong.

Chu Shitong knew very well that her favoritism and trust were the fuse that caused Qin Wei to be hostile to the two men, but she had to do so. Qin Wei was the only one in the world who could understand her ambition, and only she could control this mad dog Qin Wei.

If you say that she and Qin Wei are completely innocent, she doesn't think so, but she just doesn't say it and doesn't ask.

She had long understood Qin Wei's feelings towards her, otherwise she would not have asked Qin Wei to avenge Chu Shifan.

She knew that he was pretending at that time, and she also knew that he had no resistance to her, so she took the initiative to hold his hand and used his loyalty and love to force him to avenge Chu Shifan.

She admitted that she was a mean person and had taken advantage of his love to the extreme, but she never felt that she owed him anything. It didn't matter whether she owed him anything or not, as they were both willing to fight and be beaten.

In their previous lives, the road to succession was long and arduous. When they were forced into a desperate situation, they even fled to the ends of the earth and lived on the edge of a knife.

After living together for such a long time, if she said that she had never noticed Qin Wei's feelings at all, could it be that she, Chu Shitong, was really a stone who didn't understand romance?

How can you not notice someone who loves you? Can you not feel the warmth when you sit by a campfire? Can you not feel fear when you stand on the edge of a cliff?

If he didn't say it, she wouldn't ask. This was something they both knew.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, she really treated Qin Wei like a dog, slapping him and punishing him in public, but she knew it clearly in her heart - he liked being treated like that by her.

Qin Wei was even more cold-hearted than her, killing people without blinking an eye, even his own brothers and sisters. Even if Chu Shitong ordered him to kill his parents, he would not even blink an eye. It can be said that Qin Wei was a knife with no weaknesses except her. To receive such support, she would be stupid and crazy to send him away.

It was also the first time that Chu Shitong had met someone like Qin Wei in his two lifetimes. It was as if he really regarded her as a god. Even if he was humiliated by her in every way, he would regard that humiliation as a treasure and enjoy it as happily as his mother, a pervert.

This was exactly what Chu Shitong wanted. Someone was willing to kill someone for her, so why wouldn't she do it? With Qin Wei around, not to mention that the Prince Rong's Mansion was heavily guarded, even if it was the eighteenth level of Yama Hell, he could find a way to send her out safely.

She cannot be without Qin Wei on her road to succession, and even more so when she is firmly seated on the throne. As long as she has Qin Wei as her knife, she will be able to delay some time even if the sky falls.

This is the reason why she said "impossible" twice.

There was no way she would tell anyone else about such a taboo.

However, her two impossible words made Mu Jingfeng's face darken.

"Your Highness Prince Qi, you said before that he is just your subordinate and you don't treat him any differently. But what you are saying now is just slapping yourself in the face. If there is really nothing, why do you care so much about him?"

Chu Shitong suppressed the unspeakable irritation in his heart and said, "Except for Qin Wei, there is room for negotiation on other conditions."

Mu Jingfeng sneered and said, "Your Highness Prince Qi, are you really not afraid that I will choose to stand on the side of Prince Yuan because of this?"

"My Lord, you'd better not threaten me in this way."

Chu Shitong stopped pretending. She had been unable to pretend for a long time. If the person in front of her was not Si Jingli's grandfather, she would have turned against him when he proposed to exchange Qin Wei.

She put down the teacup coldly, with a hint of annoyance between her brows.

"Do you think I will give in if you threaten me like this? Do you think that just because you are Si Jingli's grandfather you can stop me from succeeding the throne? Do you think I will let you support King Yuan?"

Mu Jingfeng's expression became uglier. "What do you mean? You and my grandson have already married, are you going to attack me against Tiangang?"

Chu Shitong laughed at himself, his smile was as beautiful as a flower, but there was a hint of madness in the corners of his mouth.

"So what if we get married? Didn't the Marquis know that I am an ungrateful person who doesn't recognize my relatives? I don't care who you are. As long as you dare to stop me from winning the throne, I will not let you go!"

"you……"

Mu Jingfeng never expected Chu Shitong to say such a thing. He was furious. "You are a woman. Can't you just be an idle prince? Whose daughter is as violent and murderous as you?"

"So what if she's a woman?" Chu Shitong said stubbornly, "I don't care how many tricks I use or how many people die, the throne must be mine! Unless I die."

Mu Jingfeng was so angry at Chu Shitong that he was speechless. He thought Si Jingli was stubborn enough, but he didn't expect Chu Shitong to be even more stubborn than him.

The door was pushed open, and Qin Wei quietly returned to Chu Shitong, with a trace of blood on his body, but it didn't seem to be his.

Chu Shitong didn't even bother to look at him. He looked at Mu Jingfeng and said, "If you want to fight me head-on, then try! But I have to warn you in advance. If you dare to stand on King Yuan's side, I will vent my anger on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"you dare?!"

Mu Jingfeng slammed the table and said angrily: "What does our business have to do with him? You know he is a fool! You are deliberately making things difficult for him by venting your anger on him!"

Chu Shitong raised his chin slightly and smiled very rudely. His skin, as pale as jade, reflected a warm color under the orange light of the setting sun, but the words he said were as cold as a knife.

"So what? As long as I hear a piece of news about the Marquis and King Yuan, Si Jingli won't have to appear in front of me anymore."

She was murderous and heart-breaking, and she did not forget to taunt him, "Not only that, I will also tell His Royal Highness that it is not that I do not want to continue my relationship with him, but because what you have done is intolerable to me. Then you will become the culprit who destroyed my relationship with His Royal Highness. My Lord, guess, if I let His Royal Highness choose between you and me, will he choose you or me?"

Mu Jingfeng was completely shocked and stood there.

He didn't expect Chu Shitong to be so ruthless and cruel.

"Aren't you afraid of hurting his feelings? What do you think of A-Li? Don't you have any feelings for him at all?!"

"This is my business, I don't need to explain it to you."

Chu Shitong stood up slowly. Qin Wei picked up her cloak and helped her tie the straps. She glanced back at Mu Jingfeng and said compassionately, "If you don't want to see him sad, don't do something stupid that would displease me. Goodbye."

She walked away slowly and gracefully like a victorious winner.

In fact, the last sentence was really rude, but Mu Jingfeng, the old thief, was pressing her step by step, and she was so angry that she had no choice but to speak so arrogantly as a warning.

No matter how powerful the Marquis of Zhenguo is, he is only a marquis. It is a serious crime for him to bring troops back to the capital without being summoned. He wants to threaten her with the heavy troops in his hands? Dream on!

Even if it meant a fight to the death, she would never be forced to surrender and watch the throne slip away from her.

The only way to stop this is to take action against Si Jingli.

Mu Jingfeng himself said that his Mu family only has Si Jingli as their grandson, so naturally they don't want to sever ties with him.

Since you have exposed your weakness, don't blame her for hitting you in the most vulnerable part.

When they walked out of the courtyard, they saw blood and corpses all over the long alley, as well as many soldiers who had fallen to the ground and servants and doctors who had rushed to save people. When everyone saw the two of them, they all showed a look of fear at the same time, as if they had seen something terrible.

Chu Shitong felt somewhat familiar. After all, in her previous life, the people in the capital also looked at her and her mad dog in the same way. The look in their eyes was exactly the same, full of resentment, fear, but powerlessness.

"Your Highness."

Will suddenly spoke up.

Chu Shitong stopped where he was and didn't move.

There was blood all over the ground, and she didn't want to walk over there. She was wearing the new shoes that Si Jingli gave her today, and she would feel bad if they got dirty.

"I'll help you leave with Qinggong."

Chu Shitong looked at the door at the end of the alley, and the scene in his dream reappeared vaguely.

There seemed to be a stinging pain in the mouth.

She remembered again the time in her dream when Qin Wei cut off her tongue with a knife.

So the way she looked at Qin Wei changed again and again.

"..."

Qin Wei lowered his head and said, "If Your Highness finds it troublesome, please give me some time. I will order someone to bring the sedan chair over."

"No need."

Chu Shitong's voice was cold, as if he was accusing someone, and he asked, "Do you know what I dreamed about a few days ago?"

Qin Wei was stunned, and a trace of confusion flashed across his cold and hard eyes.

"Subordinate... I don't know."

"I dreamed that you recognized someone else as your master, and cut off my tongue to vent your anger for your new master."

Qin Wei immediately half-knelt on the ground and said, "I have absolutely no second thoughts."

Chu Shitong said unhappily: "But you cut my tongue, even in my dream."

"..."

Qin Wei hesitated to speak, remained silent for a while, and said: "I was rude in my dream, please punish me, Your Highness."

Chu Shitong was petty, unreasonable and fussy, but when the other party was willing to accept the punishment, she felt that she might have gone a little too far and suddenly wanted to pretend to be magnanimous.

"Forget it, I'll let you off this time. If there's a next time, get out of here."

Faced with such outrageous words, Qin Wei simply lowered his head and said obediently: "There will never be a next time."

After Chu Shitong finished speaking, she felt a little regretful. Damn, she had been unhappy for several days because of this dream.

"How do you know there won't be a next time?"

Qin Wei: “…”

Chu Shitong said: "Go back and accept the punishment."

Qin Wei said: "Yes."

Sure enough, a petty person should not pretend to be magnanimous, otherwise she will silently bear a grudge if the punishment is not adequate. Only after the punishment will she feel better.

Qin Wei was not at all frustrated when he was inexplicably punished by her. He used Qinggong to take her out of Prince Rong's Mansion and then sent her to the carriage.

On the way back home, she lifted the bamboo curtain and glanced across the long streets of the capital.

The people on the street seemed no different from before, as if no matter who was the emperor or what the situation was, the daily lives of these people were limited to the daily necessities of life.

……

It seemed that because of her overly tough attitude and harsh words, the Marquis of Zhenguo never looked for Chu Shitong again.

Si Jingli seemed to be unaware of this and still came to Prince Qi's Mansion with Chu Shitong all day long.

Three days passed like this, and the old troops led by Ji Shu and Li Nu finally returned to the capital. Because the Marquis of Zhenguo's men had surrounded the capital, Chu Shitong specifically asked Si Jingli to withdraw the troops guarding the capital and replaced them all with his own people.

After this incident, it seemed that the capital was in the hands of the Marquis of Zhenguo, but in fact it had quietly been transferred to the hands of Chu Shitong.

She also carefully replaced the personnel in all key positions and released a group of soldiers of the Marquis of Zhenguo to leave the capital so that they could meet Song Nian tomorrow.

It seems like everything is back on track.

After dealing with these things, Chu Shitong finally got a moment to rest.

"Your Highness." Qin Wei whispered, "The man called Li Nu is outside with a box. Ji Shu is not right."

Chu Shitong remained calm, and she naturally noticed that something was wrong with Ji Shu.

I was in such a low mood that I didn't feel the joy I had when I first returned to her.

The raccoon slave walked into the room carrying a Liuxianqin on his back, holding something in his hand, covered by a white cloth, and bowed, saying, "Your servant greets Your Highness."

"Get up."

When Ji Shu saw Li Nu, the sadness he felt became even stronger.

Qin Wei took a step forward and asked, "What are you holding?"

Li Nu was stunned for a moment, as if she was trying to identify the voice. After confirming that she had never heard this voice before, her voice immediately changed from compassion to anger.

"How dare you! Is that something you can ask?"

Ji Shu also looked at Qin Wei with great vigilance.

It is true that neither of them had ever seen Qin Wei. They met Qin Wei in Quanzhou. When Chu Shitong returned to Beijing from Quanzhou, Qin Wei was sent to Xifeng Kingdom.

Ji Shu only knew about Qin Wei from letters, but Li Nu missed him because he left Prince Qi's Mansion early and followed Nan Xue and the others to find Princess Tianxuan.

Chu Shitong did not say anything and just lowered his head to drink tea.

Qin Wei said: "Everything that appears before Your Highness must be inspected by me, otherwise you must take the things and leave immediately."

"Bah! Who do you think you are?" The raccoon cursed, "When I was with His Highness, you weren't even born yet! Are you showing off in front of me because you came back a few days earlier?"

Qin Wei's expression remained unchanged.

Chu Shitong had no intention of interrupting.

Ji Shu observed for a while, understood Chu Shitong's attitude, and took the initiative to say: "Your Highness, what Li Slave is holding in his arms is... the princess's ashes. Please don't let strangers touch them."

The room suddenly fell into unprecedented silence.

Chu Shitong asked after a long time.

"Princess Tianxuan?"

"Yes."

The raccoon slave suddenly burst into tears and knelt on the ground, wailing: "Princess, I finally brought you back to my side, woooooo..."

Ji Shu explained: "When Nanxue found the princess, she had been poisoned to the point of death. We have been looking for you, hoping to send you to see the princess for the last time... but we have never found you. In the fourth month of your disappearance, the princess really couldn't hold on any longer..."
