Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

late at night.

Chongming Palace is as bright as day.

Chu Shitong brought Qin Wei and followed Wang Zexu out of the hall.

"Your Highness Prince Qi, please wait a moment. I will go in and report first."

"Ah."

The night wind blew across the dark corners of clothes. Chu Shitong stood quietly at the palace gate. He raised his eyes and vaguely saw figures walking in the light and shadow inside the palace.

We have entered a dangerous place with no way out.

"Will."

The person behind her moved a little closer to block some of the night wind for her.

"My subordinate is here."

"Has there been any unusual movement along the way?"

Qin Wei said: "No unusual movement."

It seems that Chu Shixuan has no intention of taking action this time.

This was good news, but Chu Shitong was not happy. Chu Shixuan did not take action probably not because of the presence of eight important ministers, but because he had long known that he would be the one to be passed on the throne. He was the rightful heir to the throne, and there was no need for him to do anything unnecessary. He only needed to wait for her to lose her patience and force her to abdicate, and then he could get rid of her with a legitimate reason.

Not long after, Wang Zexu came out with eight ministers.

"Your Highness, His Majesty invites you in."

"Ah."

The eight important officials looked at Chu Shitong with eyes that were sharper than each other, but Chu Shitong didn't bother to pay attention to them. Now in everyone's eyes, she was a traitor who collaborated with the enemy and there was no point in dealing with these trash.

When he reached the front of the hall, he met Chu Shixuan.

He seemed to be about to go out as well.

After not seeing him for a while, Chu Shixuan was still the same as before, wearing a moon-white robe, looking gentle and elegant, and his appearance was still handsome, as if the situation of being trapped in the palace for these days had not affected him at all.

"Xiao Qi is here." He said softly.

It seems that life is still the same as before, and there is some room for pretense.

Chu Shitong stopped in front of him and looked at him quietly.

All the previous disguises, etiquette, and brotherly love were thrown away at this moment. She didn't even bother to call him and went straight to the point.

"Where's the Sixth Brother?"

Chu Shixuan's eyes dimmed slightly, and he said in a calm voice: "Xiao Qi is confused. Chu Shifeng has been expelled from the imperial family. You don't have a sixth brother."

The calm words fell into Chu Shitong's ears, like a sarcasm hidden in cotton.

Chu Shitong took a deep breath and said, "What about Chu Shifeng?"

Chu Shixuan said: "Of course it is in the clan residence."

The two men's eyes met, one sharp, the other calm.

Chu Shitong didn't bother to ask him where he got the seal. Since he was deliberately forcing her into the palace, he must have made preparations long ago.

I ask this question only because the seal is stained with blood.

Chu Shitong wanted to ask something else, but just as she opened her mouth, she heard Chu Shiyu's weak voice from inside the palace - he was calling her in a low voice.

Chu Shixuan said: "If Xiaoqi has anything else to ask, you can wait until you see the emperor."

Chu Shitong didn't waste any time, so he walked around him and went straight in.

The air was filled with the smell of medicine.

When Chu Shitong first saw the person on the dragon bed, he felt that he was a little strange.

She hadn't seen Chu Shiyu for only a year, and she didn't expect that he would be tortured like this by the drug.

Chu Shiyu now looks three parts human and seven parts ghost. His skin is so pale that it is almost transparent, he is so thin that his bones are visible, his cheeks are sunken, and his eye bags are shriveled and have a deep purple hue.

Although he was wearing a clean yellow dragon-patterned brocade robe, he had a faint unpleasant smell on him. It was hard to imagine, hard to explain. Chu Shitong had never smelled this smell on anyone else. But this smell was very special. Even though he had never smelled it before, he could clearly feel that it was a sick smell when he first came into contact with it. It was the smell of a person who was about to die of illness.

Like the smell of a decaying human being.

"Xiaoqi..."

Chu Shiyu's voice was hoarse and weak, and he no longer had the imperial aura that he once had.

He seemed to be aware of Chu Shitong's arrival and slowly opened his old and tired eyes.

Chu Shitong retracted his gaze and saluted, saying, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father."

There was no response for a long while.

Chu Shitong was confused, wondering if he couldn't hold on and died?

Could it be that Chu Shixuan gave him some medicine that aggravated his condition in order to frame her for Chu Shiyu's death?

Thinking of this, Chu Shitong couldn't help but look up.

When she looked at him, she met Chu Shiyu's old, cloudy eyes, which were bloodshot and light in color. He stared at her without saying a word, his eyes slightly bright, with an indescribable weirdness.

Chu Shitong took just one look and quickly lowered his head.

"Your son pays his respects to the Emperor," she repeated.

Chu Shiyu responded slowly, "Get up."

Chu Shitong stood up, and she always felt that there was an invisible gaze on her, scanning her up and down, making her feel uncomfortable from the inside out.

I think Chu Shiyu should know that she let the Qinglian army into the city.

Chu Shitong herself had no intention of explaining the matter. If Chu Shiyu blamed her or scolded her, it was up to him. He didn't have much time to live anyway.

The air seemed frozen in the thick smell of medicine.

After a long while, Master Chu said, "I heard that the prince confined you to his mansion a few days ago... Is this true?"

Chu Shitong paused, wondering why he suddenly asked this question.

"No such thing happened. The prince did not express it clearly. The house arrest was just a statement to the outside world. I caught a cold on the way back and rested in the mansion for a few days."

No matter how much Si Jingli deserved a beating or how much he deserved to die, it was something that was only discussed behind closed doors between husband and wife. Naturally, there was no reason for him to tell the truth when asked by a hypocritical father like Chu Shiyu.

Chu Shiyu stared at Chu Shitong's neck and said, "Xiaoqi has grown up and can tell lies now. Did you forget to look in the mirror when you went out?"

Chu Shitong subconsciously looked towards Qin Wei. Qin Wei stepped forward and straightened her slightly open collar, covering the kiss marks left a few days ago.

Chu Shiyu stared at Qin Wei unkindly and said, "I didn't know that there are so many people around Xiao Qi now."

Chu Shitong frowned and looked over, saying, "Father, what do you mean by this? I don't understand."

Chu Shiyu sneered, "Don't you understand? Wende should have told you about your true life experience a long time ago."

Wende is the title of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Having said this, Chu Shitong's heart sank, and she was sure that Chu Shiyu already knew all the information she knew.

Chu Shitong is as steady as an old dog. Even if Chu Shiyu is now terminally ill, she will never lose her composure because of his words.

"What is Father talking about? What does this have to do with my aunt?"

Chu Shiyu seemed to have no energy to play around with Chu Shitong. He stared blankly at the gauze curtain above his head and muttered, "That bitch Wende... If it weren't for her, how could Ah Qi have had the chance to escape from my grasp..."

Almost in an instant, Chu Shitong got goose bumps all over his body.

Ah Qi... is it Xuan Wu Yue? She was able to escape from the palace because of the eldest princess?

"Afan's death is retribution. Otherwise, every time I see you, I can't help but think of what that bitch Wende did. It seems that I valued the brother-sister relationship with her too much. If I had known earlier, I would have dealt with her earlier, and she would not have told you your life story later."

Chu Shitong was surprised. It was said that the eldest princess and the emperor had a deep brotherly love, which was why she did not go to her fiefdom and stayed in the capital.

Hearing what Chu Shiyu said now, it seems that this is not the case.

It should be that the eldest princess secretly let Xuan Wu Yue go, and Chu Shiyu developed hatred for her, but did not kill her because of their brother-sister relationship, but instead placed her under house arrest in the capital.

Chu Shiyu's eyes slowly turned and looked at Chu Shitong.

"Xiao Qi has grown up and looks more and more like your mother."

Chu Shitong still pretended to be ignorant and said, "I don't know what your father is talking about. My mother was Concubine Yun, and she passed away a few years ago."

Chu Shiyu looked at Chu Shitong pretending to be stupid and couldn't help but burst into crazy laughter.

"Xiao Qi, I know you can understand what I'm saying. Didn't your so-called mother, Yun Xiangrong, die in your hands? You hate her to the core, don't you think it's ironic to call her mother? Even my current body... is probably your fault, right?"

Chu Shitong clenched her fists silently. Chu Shiyu really knew everything. She lowered her eyes and said, "Father, you are joking. How dare I kill my mother? How can I have the ability to attack you, father?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. I'm just too soft-hearted."

Chu Shiyu said in an almost weird manner, "If only Ah Qi had been tied up, that woman should be treated like that. Only when she is chained up will she behave herself. Otherwise, if she gets the slightest chance to see other people, she will use her seductiveness to flirt with other men and women alike. She is really something that makes people love and hate her..."

His words sounded like a long sigh, or a helpless sigh, with a kind of tenderness that made people's backs chill.

Hearing this, Chu Shitong felt hatred boiling in his heart and he clenched his teeth, fearing that he would not be able to hold back and kill the person in front of him with his own hands in the next second.

"Xiao Qi, you are too much like your mother. She is an ungrateful woman, and you are even more cruel than her. It is true that the blood of the Tianxuan clan is born with the mentality of rebellion."

Chu Shiyu's gaze fell on the covered kiss mark, and he finally couldn't hide his resentment and resentment.

"If I had known that you were as lewd as your mother, I would have locked you up long ago and made you my concubine like your mother! Now you have harmed me to this point, and I can only watch you being toyed with by other men. I really can't accept this..."

Chu Shitong could no longer bear it. The bones of her hands were about to be crushed by her. The rage that was glaring at her almost burned out her sanity.

"Will!"

"Your Highness, calm down. Now is not the time."

Qin Wei gently held her trembling arm, and with his cool words he tried to calm the hatred in her heart that was about to twist.

Chu Shitong knew what he meant, and he tensed up and tried hard to stay rational.

She couldn't kill her father. At least in this situation, she couldn't do anything to Chu Shiyu. If Chu Shiyu didn't die of illness but was killed by someone, this scandal would not be washable even if she ascended the throne in the future.

But Chu Shiyu had no intention of letting her go. Seeing her in pain, he smiled like a devil from hell, as if he could gain something from it.

"Who is this pretty boy next to you? You have seduced so many of my sons, and even hooked up with the Crown Prince, and even the Crown Prince Qinglian! So many men can't satisfy you? You must have served a lot of men during the year you disappeared. You have been disguised as a man for so long, and you can't help yourself so soon after you resumed your identity as a woman?"

In his eyes, Xuan Wu Yue is like her daughter. After discovering that Chu Shi Tong and Si Jing Li were already married, his meager fatherly love completely changed. He regretted letting Chu Shi Tong grow up, so now he wanted to use his words to form a knife to make her live a life worse than death.

Chu Shitong glared at him with murderous eyes, biting his lips tightly, unable to resist the urge to fight back.

Qin Wei said: "How long will it take, Your Highness?"

Chu Shitong held his breath and said, "It takes a cup of tea."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wei turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

As soon as he left, Chu Shitong felt relieved and could no longer hold back and spoke.

"Is it interesting?" Her voice was cold and terrifying. "Is it interesting to deliberately provoke me with such disgusting words?"

"It's very interesting to see you suffering as much as that bitch."

"Interesting, mom!"

Chu Shitong cursed, "How dare you covet me? You are just a loser who took the throne by relying on the previous emperor! You have been on the throne for decades but have achieved nothing. A loser like you is only fit to lie on the bed and bark like a dog! Do you think I will tolerate your dirty words for the sake of our relationship as father and daughter? You are just wishful thinking! You are as useless as your sons!"

Chu Shiyu heard this, but he was not angry at all. Instead, he admired her angry look with fascination. His eyes were so sticky that they seemed to be able to pull out threads. He said, "If Ah Qi was still alive, he would definitely not be angry like you."

He suddenly laughed with an ambiguous meaning, "Not necessarily. I thought that since you have the blood of the previous emperor, you would be more or less similar to the Tianxuan royal family, but I didn't expect that you are exactly the same in your bones. You are an ungrateful person! When I succeeded to the throne, Ah Qi knelt on the ground and begged me like a dog in order to protect you in her belly..."

Chu Shitong's pupils suddenly shrank.

It was as if something broke in her chest.

Chu Shiyu continued, "I was too soft-hearted. I was deceived by her pitiful appearance and allowed her to give birth to you. In order to give you a legitimate identity as a princess, I even took great pains to exchange you for Yun Xiangrong... This woman is so ruthless. Once you were sent away, she became a different person. A few years later, she hooked up with Wende and escaped from my grasp.

"You are exactly the same as her in this respect. When you had no power and influence, you kowtowed and fawned before me, but when you grew stronger, you turned against me and harmed others. The first person you harmed was Feng'er, who was the best to you, and the second person you wanted to harm Huan'er. I am too lenient with you to be in this situation today... I didn't expect that you had planned to poison me long ago..."

"That's because you deserve to die!"

Chu Shitong's voice was trembling, and her heart was trembling too. She never expected that she was the descendant of the late emperor.

Apart from Chu Shiyu and Xuan Wu Yue, only the late emperor knew the account. She did not see Xuan Wu Yue for the last time, and now that Chu Shiyu was dying, there was no need for him to lie to her.

The word "die" seemed to finally hurt Chu Shiyu's nerves. He roared like crazy: "You deserve to die! Everyone should kill you, these Tianxuan thieves! You deserve to die!! I shouldn't have let you live! I shouldn't have let Xuan Wu Yue live! You still want to succeed to the throne? You, a remnant of Tianxuan, also want to succeed to the throne?! How can my great Beiqing be destroyed in the hands of a Tianxuan remnant like you?!"
