Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

Chu Shitong was so angry that he laughed at his shameless words.

"Are you regretting giving birth to me now? It's too late!" She stabbed him in the face with every word she said. "Those useless sons of yours are no match for me. Just watch how the world falls into my hands, dear father. Hate it, be unwilling, but don't forget me when you cross the Naihe Bridge. When I go to hell, I'll have plenty of time to slowly settle accounts with you!"

Chu Shiyu raised his breath into his throat, his neck and face turned red, he looked disheveled and crazy, no longer as majestic as the emperor he used to be, his old and terminally ill body looked like a skeleton, he cursed loudly, saying almost all the vicious words he could.

But Chu Shitong no longer cared.

A dying person makes his last struggle.

"Will, come back."

After a while, Qin Wei appeared with traces of fighting on his body. He had just gone to the dark place and forced back the eavesdropping guards to ensure that the conversation between Chu Shitong and Chu Shiyu was not heard by anyone.

"Are you injured?"

Qin Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "No."

Although there was nothing unusual with the guards along the way, Chu Shitong was still worried. He was sure that Qin Wei was not injured. If he sent her out in this state, there shouldn't be any big problems even if Chu Shixuan suddenly took action.

"Let's go."

The huge palace is gorgeous, cold, bright and empty.

Chu Shitong and Qin Wei came one after the other. The former was violent, cruel and scheming, while the latter was cold, loyal and had excellent skills. It seemed as if time had gone back to the time when they were at their peak in their previous lives.

"and many more--"

When he reached the center of the hall, he heard Chu Shiyu shouting at the top of his lungs from behind.

Chu Shitong paused, looked back, and saw Chu Shiyu standing up with his shaky body.

He stared at her intently, and walked towards her with difficulty and shabby steps, as if he was possessed, supporting his broken body. Every step he took seemed like he would fall to the ground at any time, which was very frightening.

"Aqi, don't go——"

"Don't leave me—"

The wailing sound was so miserable that it sounded like a damned person who was hanging on to his last breath and refused to die. Every word made people feel disgusted. Chu Shiyu was actually crazy and stupid, thinking that she was Xuan Wuyue!

A look of disgust flashed across Chu Shitong's eyes, and he turned around and walked out of the hall mercilessly.

Chu Shixuan was standing on the long steps of the palace gate, looking up at the moonlight in a trance, not knowing what he was thinking. The moonlight fell on him, as if at this moment he had become an immortal falling from the moon, with an ethereal and inviolable appearance.

Chu Shitong couldn't help but look at him a few more times. She seldom looked Chu Shixuan in the eye. In the past, she was afraid that the more she looked, the angrier she would feel. But now that their positions were reversed, she also had the opportunity to take a closer look at him.

It's good-looking.

It's no wonder that everyone in Beiqing calls him a dragon among men, born with the appearance of an emperor. Regardless of his ability, his gentle and plain appearance alone is enough to fascinate so many people. It's no wonder that some ministers in the court insist on recognizing him. Compared with her sweet-mouthed but vindictive appearance, anyone would think that Chu Shixuan is more likely to be the heir to the throne.

Chu Shitong heard Qin Wei coughing and realized that he had been looking at him for a long time. He immediately retracted his gaze and said, "Father seems to be crazy. Brother, please ask the imperial physician to check him out."

Chu Shixuan lowered his head and gave the imperial physician a wink, and the imperial physician who was waiting at the side hurried into the room.

The eight important ministers at the foot of the long steps could no longer wait and looked at Chu Shixuan anxiously, making faces as if they were disappointed in him, as if they were reminding him of something.

Chu Shitong knew without guessing that they wanted Chu Shixuan to send people to take action now to reveal the real purpose of this Hongmen Banquet.

She was not afraid at all. She looked fearless, folded her arms and looked up at him, deliberately reminding him.

"Brother Emperor, the ministers below seem to have something to say to you."

Chu Shixuan didn't even glance at anyone else. His eyes were focused on Chu Shitong.

"Xiao Qi has to go back."

Chu Shitong raised the corner of his mouth and deliberately looked at the several anxious and sweaty ministers at the long steps. After making them anxious for a long time, he said mercifully: "I still have a few questions to ask. Ask them before you leave."

Chu Shixuan seemed to have expected this, and he just said calmly: "Ask."

Chu Shitong wanted to ask about Chu Shifeng, but he saw from the corner of his eye that the ministers couldn't help coughing to attract Chu Shixuan's attention, so he couldn't help but roll up his sleeves and said, "Brother Emperor, do you keep your word?"

Chu Shixuan said, "What's the point of talking about that?"

Chu Shitong smiled, but the smile was no longer friendly and flattering as before, but rather bold and rude. He said, "Of course it was said to me. Perhaps my brother has already forgotten it, and it was just a casual remark at the time, but I remember it all the time. Doesn't my brother want to know what it was?"

Several ministers sitting at the long steps heard the hidden meaning of Chu Shitong's words and couldn't help but speak out.

"Your Highness Prince Yuan, be careful! Don't fall into Prince Qi's trap!"

"Your Highness Prince Qi, everyone grows up and changes. You are asking this for no reason. You are not forcing Your Highness Prince Yuan to take a childhood joke seriously, right? Isn't this going too far?"

"Listen to what a Qinglian lackey says?! Your Highness Prince Yuan shouldn't waste your time talking to her. Prince Qi is arrogant and conceited, and dared to enter the palace with only one follower. Now that things have come to this, why should we waste our time talking to her?!"

Chu Shitong glanced at the person who was speaking, and when he saw the man's appearance clearly, a silver light flashed from his mouth.

With a "puff", a sharp and slender silver dagger pierced through his mouth directly from the cheek.

Blood gushed out and the man fell to the ground in pain, screaming in agony.

Qin Wei stood in the moonlight, his cold eyebrows were tinged with silver, his eyes were sharp, like a knife that kills without shedding blood, and when he spoke, his voice was chilling and piercing.

"Anyone who disrespects His Highness will have his tongue cut off."

The important officials standing at the long steps were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats. Although they were all filled with resentment, no one dared to speak.

Chu Shitong withdrew his gaze with satisfaction, feeling as if he had returned to his past life.

In her previous life, everyone thought that she was a tyrant after she ascended the throne, and she herself thought so too. Qin Wei would help her get rid of anyone who was rude to her.

She was never soft-hearted and never thought that those people did not deserve such crimes. After all, people should always be responsible for what they said and did. She worked hard to climb to this level not to be a saint and reason with others, but to have absolute deterrence and unparalleled power.

After ending this unpleasant episode, Chu Shitong continued to look at Chu Shixuan with a provocative smile.

It's like a naughty child deliberately hurts someone in front of his brother, and then turns around and makes a face, as if to say: I did it on purpose, what can you do to me?

Chu Shixuan's expression remained unchanged, and he felt as if he had stayed out of the matter, as if the scene just now had nothing to do with him.

"Everything I say to you counts."

Chu Shitong's smile grew stronger as he said, "When I was fourteen, my brother told me that you would not harm me. Five years have passed. I wonder if this still holds true?"

The important officials at the long steps almost instantly felt their hearts rise to their throats.

If he is fourteen, then Chu Shitong will be twenty years old in a dozen days after his birthday. It has been almost six years. Does this still count?

Chu Shitong was also curious.

These words were said by Chu Shixuan himself at the Second Princess' birthday banquet after Chu Shifeng tried to harm Si Jingli but was backstabbed by Chu Shitong.

At that time, Chu Shitong had just been reborn, so she naturally did not believe what Chu Shixuan said. In fact, she would not believe it even now. She asked this deliberately just because she wanted to disgust those ministers.

Chu Shixuan said: "It counts."

At the foot of the long steps, the faces of several important ministers looked as ugly as if they had seen a ghost.

Chu Shitong didn't believe it at all. She thought Chu Shixuan was better at pretending than her. He might say nice things on the surface, but he might be up to some vicious tricks in his heart. She wouldn't believe it.

But she didn't show it on the surface. She glanced at the faces of the ministers with a smile and said, "I feel relieved with what my royal brother said. After all, my father is seriously ill and doesn't have much time left. I think if nothing unexpected happens, my royal brother's name should be written on the edict of succession."

Master Chu paused for a moment, as if puzzled, and asked, "He didn't pass the throne to you?"

Chu Shitong was stunned when he heard this. What a nonsense.

"Are you teasing me, my royal brother? How can I be worthy of sitting in that position?"

Chu Shixuan lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Chu Shitong said: "Oh, by the way, I have one more thing I want to ask my brother. I think my brother will not lie to me."

Chu Shixuan said: "You ask."

Chu Shitong suddenly took a step closer, the smile in his eyes faded, he stared at him straight, and lowered his voice.

"Sixth brother's eyes... are your work, right?"

"Yes."

Chu Shixuan's frankness exceeded Chu Shitong's expectations. She did not expect to hear Chu Shixuan admit it himself, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that among the several royal brothers, only Chu Shixuan had the ability to do it in the palace and conceal it from the Imperial Guards and Wang Zexu's people.

He blinded Chu Shifeng's eyes and made Chu Shitong bear the infamy for so many years, but the one who benefited was still him, Chu Shitong.

The moment Chu Shitong heard his admission, the grievances that had been buried for many years turned into flames that surged up into her chest. She took a few deep breaths, trying to suppress her anger and pretend to leave safely. But when she saw Chu Shixuan's face that didn't show the slightest emotion, it became difficult for her to even hide her hatred.

If Chu Shixuan's face showed the slightest trace of guilt, remorse, embarrassment, or even smug sarcasm and boasting, Chu Shitong would not be so angry.

He just seems to be so lukewarm.

It seemed that after using those insidious and vicious means to make profits, he could still stay out of it and enjoy the happiness brought by her pain like a leisurely cloud and wild crane, and after enjoying it, he looked like he didn't care at all.

"Brother, this move is really brilliant."

Chu Shitong laughed out of anger and said, "I have made Sixth Brother hate me to death, and I have also been scolded by everyone in the world."

Chu Shixuan said inexplicably, "He won't hate you."

Chu Shitong said: "Yes! He won't hate me! He will only think about how to cut me into pieces!"

It would be a foolish dream to say that Chu Shifeng didn't hate her. When the prefect of Jiangzhou fell from power, Chu Shifeng was expelled from the imperial family. It would be strange if he didn't hate her. But Chu Shitong could feel it. After all, she went to the prison to see Chu Shifeng. No matter how much Chu Shifeng hated her, he didn't want to kill her.

But it was different from hurting his eyes. Chu Shifeng was extremely proud. Even if he was controlled by others, as long as his body was normal, he would always find a way to make himself no longer embarrassed. He must have great talent to be able to compete with Chu Shixuan for a long time.

Having your eyes destroyed in a place like the Imperial Clan Court means you have become completely disabled. Most of the servants in the palace are people who curry favor with the powerful, and some of them extremely hate people like Chu Shifeng who used to be in high positions. Needless to say, you can guess that they will definitely take advantage of his blindness and humiliate him in various ways. This hatred will become stronger with day after day of bullying.

When Chu Shitong thought about Chu Shifeng being bullied because of his blindness, he felt a nameless anger in his heart.

She had hurt Chu Shifeng so badly that she didn't even want to harm his body, but now Chu Shixuan not only blinded his eyes, but also made her bear the blame. It would be a miracle if she didn't want to kill Chu Shixuan!

"Your Highness." Qin Wei reminded again.

Chu Shitong sobered up a little. Qin Wei was reminding her that getting angry at this time would be useless and the important thing now was to leave the palace as quickly as possible.

She didn't want to stay any longer and didn't want to see Chu Shixuan's face.

"I have asked all the questions I need to ask. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave. Since you are a man of your word, please keep your promise. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, I cannot guarantee that we will see anyone alive tomorrow in this huge palace."

Chu Shixuan said, "Are you leaving without waiting for the emperor's order to pass on the throne?"

"You know and I know, the throne must be for you."

Chu Shitong walked down the long steps a few steps, suddenly stopped, turned around and looked.

Chu Shixuan was on a high place, looking down at her, his face was gloomy and unclear.

Chu Shitong had calmed down and smiled again, saying, "Oh, my Royal Brother, I forgot to say a few words. I'm sorry to bother you for a while."

Chu Shixuan said: "You say."

Chu Shitong said, "Sixth brother has been expelled from the imperial family as a criminal. I hope that you will consider our friendship and not drag him into this fight again. I came here for the seal, but only this time. If you dare to threaten me again, I will not be so easy to deal with."

After a moment of silence, Chu Shixuan suddenly said, "Xiao Qi, don't you think your feelings towards people are too complicated?"

Chu Shitong's eyes were full of defense, "What do you mean by that, my brother?"

Chu Shixuan said: "When emotions conflict, no matter what you do, you will regret it."

"Human emotions are complex, and naturally there will be conflicts. Could it be that my brother is someone who has a clear distinction between love and hate?"

When Chu Shitong said the last sentence, he almost laughed.

After saying that, she turned and left without waiting for Chu Shixuan's response.

Passing by the ministers who were standing aside, a man rushed in from the palace gate and passed by Chu Shitong, seemingly coming forward to report.

Chu Shitong didn't care. If that person made any move, Qin Wei would discover the danger to her before she did.

Far away and blurry.

Chu Shitong heard the man say.

"Your Highness Prince Yuan, Your Highness Prince Han is at the west gate and insists on seeing Your Majesty..."
