Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

Chu Shitong paused, and just as the bitterness in his heart was about to emerge, it was cruelly brushed aside.

Look at her.

Li Nu slowly stopped crying. Ji Shu was beside her, with an indescribable loneliness in his eyes. Qin Wei carefully observed her expression. She knew that as long as she showed a little impatience, Qin Wei would throw her out with the box in the next second.

They were all looking at her.

As if waiting for her to give a result.

Chu Shitong lowered his eyelashes in silence, not knowing what result they were waiting for.

Faced with this mother who was only in name only, had never cared for her and had never seen her, what kind of expression did they expect her to have when she heard the news of her death?

Should I cry and yell like the cat slave, holding an urn and calling for my mother, and bring up the painful experiences of the years one by one like exposing scars?

He still shed tears of regret, hating himself as if a thousand arrows pierced his heart why he didn't follow them to find Princess Tianxuan?

Chu Shitong didn't know.

She only felt that at this moment, she was more confused than ever before.

It seems reasonable that she should do something.

But my body seemed to be frozen and I couldn't move.

It seemed that at this moment, countless loves, hates, and vengeances passed through my mind like floating clouds, but they were all floating lightly in the sky, without any emotions falling into my heart.

After a long time, she spoke slowly, her tone still as cold as before, without any emotion, as unfamiliar as if she was treating someone who had nothing to do with her.

"Go down."

Li Nu and Ji Shu were stunned for a moment, both of them couldn't control their expressions, shock was revealed on their faces, as if they were looking at a cold-blooded monster.

"Your Highness! What do you mean?"

"Your Highness! You can't do this!"

The two of them spoke almost at the same time, and the angry and resentful accusations in their voices sounded so righteous.

Ji Shu said: "After all, the princess is your biological mother, how can you not even want to look at her?"

The raccoon servant said, "Your Highness, please think twice. The princess has always wanted to see you. If you do this, the princess' spirit in heaven will be so sad."

Chu Shitong did not respond, but just glanced at Qin Wei slightly.

Qin Wei seemed to want to persuade her, but he did not speak, nor did he immediately follow her orders. Chu Shitong understood the meaning of the pause. However, she did not reconsider the matter as Qin Wei wanted, but took a deep breath impatiently.

Qin Wei noticed it and no longer hesitated, obeying the order and moving forward as he did in the past.

The raccoon immediately hugged the box in his hand tightly and backed away repeatedly, looking as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

"What do you want to do?!"

Ji Shu still had some rationality and did not fight with Qin Wei, but just protected Li Nu.

"Your Highness, I know you have resentment towards the princess, but it has not been easy for the princess either. You have come this far, so you know how despicable the Chu family is! After all, you are the blood of Tianxuan, and when you succeed to the throne and restore the country in the future, you will definitely clear the princess's name..."

"what are you saying?"

Chu Shitong frowned, "What restoration of the country?"

Ji Shu and Li Nu were shocked again.

"Aren't you going to restore the country?" Ji Shu said, "The Chu family is despicable and vile, plotting to usurp the throne, which is shameful to the world! As the blood of Tianxuan, how can you continue to ascend the throne as emperor in the name of the Chu family?"

"Who told you that I want to restore my country?"

Chu Shitong finally understood. No wonder all the people from the Tianxuan Dynasty followed her. These people didn't decide to help her win the throne just because of Xuan Wu Yue. Instead, they wanted Chu Shitong to overthrow Beiqing in the name of the Tianxuan bloodline.

"What does the Tianxuan Dynasty have to do with me? My last name is Chu Shi, so the succession will naturally be in the name of Chu Shi's family."

Li Nu said in disbelief: "But you are the only legitimate bloodline of Tianxuan now! How can you continue to live under the rule of the enemy who destroyed your country?"

Chu Shitong asked back: "Has this Tianxuan bloodline brought me any benefits? Has it given me any care? Half of my bloodline has the surname Chu. I want to destroy the enemy of my country? I will destroy myself?"

Ji Shu gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you are half of the Chu family's bloodline, you are still the princess's child! Naturally, your mother's bloodline should be the standard! If it weren't for the princess, how could you have been born?"

Chu Shitong, who had been keeping calm till now, felt as if someone had stepped on his tail when he heard these words, and his anger surged up the moment the words fell.

She slammed the table and said angrily, "Did I beg her to give birth to me?! Did she ask for my opinion before giving birth to me?! Is it something to be proud of that she gave birth to me, a remnant of two dynasties, in the hands of the enemy who destroyed the country? Do you know how many times I wished I had not been born by her when I lived in pain day after day!"

Ji Shu stood there in a daze, and two lines of blood and tears suddenly fell from Li Nu's dull eyes.

The two of them acted as if they were meeting Chu Shitong for the first time.

Qin Wei waited for her to vent her anger before taking decisive action. By the time Ji Shu reacted, he had already been slapped out of the door. Li Nu stumbled out holding the box, looking distraught, as if his worldview had suffered a huge blow.

Qin Wei attacked quickly and fiercely. When he was about to hit Li Nu, Ji Shu ignored the pain and flew forward to protect Li Nu.

Li Nu was kicked out of the door by Qin Wei, and the urn in his hand flew into the air. Ji Shu flew over and was hit by another punch from Qin Wei.

The two men seemed to be a little confused by what Chu Shitong had just said. They were knocked to the ground without even being prepared to fight back.

The raccoon crawled on the ground with his arms propped up, groping with his hands and shouting like a possessed person.

"Ashes...ashes...your highness...where are the princess' ashes?"

Ji Shu did not hear the sound of the box falling to the ground. He endured the severe pain and raised his head, and saw Qin Wei took the urn in his hand with an indifferent expression and did not let it fall to the ground.

"you……"

He thought that with Qin Wei's obedient appearance, he would definitely follow Chu Shitong's wishes and ignore the urn.

Qin Wei just glanced at him indifferently, put the urn on the ground, then pretended nothing happened, turned into the house and closed the door.

Li Nu fumbled for a long time, and finally Ji Shu picked up the urn and put it in her arms. Li Nu's eyes were covered with blood and tears, which looked scary. The moment she got the urn, she hugged it tightly.

"What should I do, Your Highness the Crown Prince... the little princess..."

Ji Shu helped her up with difficulty and said, "Li Nu, forget it..." He looked back at the closed door, "Perhaps we have been wrong all along. Her Highness is not planning to restore the country, nor does she care about the princess... She only has power and the throne in her eyes."

Li Nu held the urn helplessly and said, "What should we do then... If the little princess succeeds to the throne as the descendant of Master Chu, then wouldn't the princess and the emperor's spirits in heaven be restless? Aren't we working so hard all these years just to restore our country?"

Ji Shu said: "Li Nu, perhaps... we were wrong from the beginning. The Tianxuan Dynasty has been destroyed, and there is no hope of restarting it..."

"No! I will never give up like this!"

Li Nu shouted sternly: "The descendants of Tianxuan are still here! Why give up? When Master Chu forced his way into the palace, the Tianxuan royal family would rather die than surrender! Why give up now that they are about to succeed?"

Thinking of the cruel scene of the burning palace and the blood all over the ground, Ji Shu felt bitter in his heart.

"Raccoon slave..."

In fact, he had a premonition long ago. He had discovered from countless hints that Chu Shitong had no interest in restoring the country.

She has been exhausted from disguising herself as a man all the way here. Ascending the throne is already the best outcome. Why should she restore the country for a mother she has never met and a sinful clan?

"I won't give up... I will always be loyal to the Emperor... Even if the little princess and the crown prince give up, I will never give up!"

The raccoon slave ran out stumblingly, holding the urn.

inside the house.

Chu Shitong leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and fell into endless silence.

Non-vegetation.

She also longed to meet her biological mother one day.

Otherwise, why would he have gone through so much trouble to search the underground palace, only to be nearly killed by that hidden arrow?

But after all this, she was so tired that she didn't want to pursue the past anymore. The so-called biological mother, the so-called truth, in the end, she was exhausted and filled with resentment.

When she was young, she had dreamed countless times that her mother would be nicer to her and like her more.

When she grew up and learned about her life, she couldn't help thinking about Xuan Wu Yue's appearance. She was afraid that her mother hated her and resented her, but she was also afraid that her mother missed her and loved her. In endless fantasies, she swayed left and right, and the long pain was like a blunt knife grinding her flesh and blood all the time.

If you keep trying for too long without getting any results, you will get bored.

The arrow that shot in the underground palace did not take her life, but that arrow killed Xuan Wu Yue's daughter and Chu Shiyu's son survived.

From then on, she never thought about Xuan Wu Yue's appearance again, nor did she look forward to meeting her mother again.

The word "mother" was like a passerby or a stranger to her.

Chu Shitong thought that maybe she had committed some big mistake in her previous life, so she had such a life, such experiences, and such pain.

Perhaps this is the best ending for her and Xuan Wu Yue's mother-daughter relationship.

Not even seeing each other.

……

From that day on, Li Nu disappeared from Prince Qi's Palace.

Also disappearing were Xuan Wu Yue's ashes.

Ji Shu didn't know where she, a blind woman, had gone with a box of ashes. He searched for her for a long time but couldn't find her. He thought about leaving and also thought about following Xuan Wu Yue, but in the end he stayed in Prince Qi's Mansion and continued to stay with Chu Shitong as his butler.

On the second day after Chu Shitong took over the capital, Song Nian led Qinglian and a group of 3,000 elite cavalrymen into the city in a mighty force.

Because of the name of Chu Shitong, the traveler did not disguise himself on the road, and even had golden hibiscus embossed on his armor to show his identity.

The people of the capital finally fell into chaos. Even if they didn't care about state affairs, they now knew that Qinglian's people had entered the capital, which was not a good sign.

Fortunately, everyone in the group was very well behaved. Under Chu Shitong's arrangement, they did not stay in front of the people. Only Song Nian and a few of his confidants went directly into Prince Qi's mansion.

Rumors were rife in the capital, and everyone said that during the year Chu Shitong disappeared, he went to Qinglian and became Qinglian's running dog, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, secretly communicating with Qu Kuang, and now he was letting the tiger back into the mountains in order to force the palace and seize the throne.

When Chu Shitong heard these rumors, she thought they were quite true, so she specially arranged an exaggerated banquet as a welcome, in order to make the news spread into the palace in a more exaggerated way.

Song Nian's arrival was not only a deterrent to Chu Shixuan, but also a deterrent to Zhenguo Hou. Most of the people brought by Zhenguo Hou had been driven away by Chu Shitong. Although there were still a lot of people now, there was no doubt that even if they had a large number of people, with Qinglian's army around, Mu Jingfeng would not dare to act rashly.

The main banquet was held at Fengyue Pavilion in Prince Qi’s Mansion.

The lake is beautiful and the sunset is setting, with singing and dancing going on.

It was also the first time that Song Nian saw the fiancé that Chu Shitong mentioned in person.

"Second brother, this is Prince Rong Si Jingli, my fiancé."

Chu Shitong spoke so confidently that even Si Jingli couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

He was still a little hesitant. Although he had known Song Nian for a long time, he became more cautious when he thought of him as the Prince Qinglian.

After all, he didn't support Chu Shitong letting the Qinglian Cavalry enter the city.

Now that everyone was sitting at the same table, they could only pretend that nothing had happened. Si Jingli politely raised his glass and said, "I often hear Tong'er mention you. I heard that she was with you during the time she disappeared. Thank you for your care."

Song Nian looked at Si Jingli's beautiful face that looked like she had walked out of a painting, and for a moment, the loss in his heart almost overwhelmed him.

He had always thought that the little Jiaojiao mentioned by Chu Shitong was a male concubine. Later, when he sent Chu Shitong back to Beiqing, he learned that the little Jiaojiao was a prince, and a mentally unstable prince.

He originally thought that compared to this man, he had some advantages because of his relatively normal mental state. However, when he saw Chu Shitong generously introduce him, and that this man was so beautiful that he seemed unreal and behaved very normally, he suddenly felt as if everything was already predetermined in fate.

What doesn't belong to him, no matter how hard he tries, fate will eventually dissipate like the wind and flow back to someone else.

Song Nian replied, "You are welcome, my lord. Xiao Qi is my sworn brother. It is fate that Ming Zhu took her back by chance. As a brother, it is my duty to take care of her."

Even though his heart was filled with a myriad of complex emotions, on the surface, for Qinglian's sake, he could not act on impulse, nor could he lose face in a romantic relationship. He could only pretend that nothing had happened that year.

Even though the two of them had greeted each other, they were not familiar with each other after all, and it was Chu Shitong who basically brought up the topics.

Chu Shitong said: "Second brother, let me see the armor you are wearing. It feels more advanced than the ones my men have."

Song Nian smiled and said, "If you want to see it, come and see it yourself. I won't send it to your door to show you."

Chu Shitong leaned over to look at the material of his armor and occasionally asked a few questions. The atmosphere was harmonious yet subtle.

Si Jingli watched the scene quietly.

To be honest, he could feel that Song Nian's eyes looking at Chu Shitong were not right, that was definitely not the eyes of a brother looking at his sister. But he could not help it, Chu Shitong was very strange in this regard, she was very defensive against the brothers of the Chu family, but she trusted others, such as Qin Wei and Song Nian, to a terrifying degree.
