Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

"so what?"

The eldest princess slowly lowered her eyes, as if she had long been accustomed to this kind of mourning sadness.

"I need your approval only because you are her daughter. If you agree, I will be buried with her after we die, which will be considered as fulfilling my wish."

"Just take this as my agreement."

Chu Shitong stood up and said, "Aunt, just take care of it yourself."

Just as she was about to leave, she paused again, without turning her head, and said, "I'm sorry about my cousin."

The princess' eyes narrowed slightly and she said, "That was his fate. He was destined to die. It has nothing to do with others."

Chu Shitong said nothing more, lifted the curtain, and walked into the night without looking back.

……

In the early morning, heavy troops surrounded the capital.

The situation turned out just as everyone expected. Prince Qi's men completely surrounded the palace.

It seemed that this battle had already been decided in advance when the Marquis of Zhenguo led his troops into the capital. The people had been worried for many days, and this day was finally coming.

Chu Shitong still had some humanity. At dawn, he ordered all the people to stay in their homes and not to enter or leave at will.

The bustling long street was empty and the scene was bleak.

The light smoke was diffused with the breeze, and the sky was grey, as if on the day of the mutiny and bloodshed, everything was preparing for the battle to force the emperor to abdicate.

Chu Shitong did not wear armor, but she secretly put on a piece of soft armor under her coat. To be honest, this battle was difficult. With such an overwhelming number of people, the palace would be easily defeated even if she did not show up. However, she still decided to fight in person - she was relieved.

The frustration of failing to force the emperor to abdicate in her previous life has remained with her until now, and she wants to kill Chu Shixuan with her own hands to avenge her previous humiliation.

"The situation in the palace is uncertain. Chu Shixuan might have some shady tricks and external aid. He must surround the capital. You should only focus on dealing with those who try to get close to me. Anyone who approaches me without knowing the purpose will be killed without mercy."

Will bowed his head and replied, "Yes."

With a bang, the door was kicked open.

Si Jingli rushed into the room and asked, "Chu Shitong, what do you mean? Why can't I go with you?!"

Chu Shitong knew he would do this, so he didn't even turn his head when the door was kicked open.

"I never intended to let His Royal Highness get involved in this matter."

This was Chu Shitong's answer, a cold and irrefutable statement.

"why?"

Si Jingli said unwillingly: "They can all go with you! Qin Wei can go too! Song Huaijin can go too! Your subordinates can go too! Why can't I go alone?"

Chu Shitong put on his coat, took out the long sword that he hadn't touched for a long time and hung it on his waist. He didn't even glance at Si Jingli, and said without raising his head: "Because you are His Royal Highness, I won't let you fall into any danger."

Si Jingli felt a sudden pain in his heart.

At this moment, he didn't know whether this was Chu Shitong's favoritism and care for him, or Chu Shitong's contempt and disregard for him from the bottom of his heart.

"I'm not afraid." He pulled her sleeve and pleaded in a low voice: "Let me go with you. I want to be with you. I promise I won't get hurt."

Chu Shitong did not answer.

This was a sign of her rejection.

Si Jingli begged for a long time, but Chu Shitong ignored his request as if he had not heard it.

Even if they achieved complete suppression in terms of numbers, the palace was so small that not everyone could squeeze in. There were only so many people who could get in. If something unexpected happened, Chu Shitong would not be able to accept Si Jingli dying in front of him again.

Seeing that Chu Shitong was determined not to agree, Si Jingli was forced into a corner and could not help but get angry: "Do you think I won't go if you don't let me go? At worst, I can go by myself!"

"you dare!"

Chu Shitong was most afraid of Si Jingli's stubbornness. If he was allowed to act freely, who knows what would happen. The two of them stared at each other in the air, neither of them was superior.

After a long time, Chu Shitong was the first to be defeated.

"Your Highness, I am thinking about you and don't want to argue with you over this matter."

"This prince doesn't need it." Si Jingli was furious. "Chu Shitong, I'm not a child anymore! I won't cause you any trouble. Can you please stop thinking that I'm weak and useless?"

Chu Shitong pursed his lips tightly. He was already very impatient before the battle even started.

Si Jingli softened his voice and begged, "Even if I follow behind, just give me a chance to accompany you. I don't want you to get into trouble and I won't even have the chance to be by your side..."

Chu Shitong couldn't stand him being like this, as if she had decided to do something against the will of heaven.

"Then you can bring the reinforcements. You can't join the front attack. This is all I can promise you. If you still don't want to go, then don't go. I will tie you up and lock you up now."

"Okay! Don't worry, I will never cause you any trouble."

Although the reinforcements had almost no chance to enter the palace, Si Jingli was still very happy to accompany Chu Shitong.

After regaining some of his rationality, Chu Shitong said, "Your Highness has misunderstood. I never thought you were causing me trouble. I just didn't want you to get hurt."

"I know."

Si Jingli showed a faint smile on his face, "You just don't know how to love me, but you have me in your heart."

Chu Shitong paused, lowered his eyes and dared not look at him again.

Have it?

She doesn't know either.

maybe.

……

The snow fell like catkins.

The heavy cavalry led by Chu Shitong broke straight into the palace gate.

Unexpectedly, there was no one behind the heavy vermilion palace gate. The guards who used to wear armor and hold heavy swords had disappeared. The entire palace road was deserted, as if it had been cleared away long ago.

Empty city strategy?

Although Chu Shitong did not believe in this kind of last-ditch tactic, she did not dare to rush in casually because there were still many Qinglian Iron Cavalry behind her. If she caused unnecessary damage, it would be difficult for her to explain to Song Huaijin.

Qin Wei flew up to the palace wall without saying a word, surveyed the surroundings, and then returned to her side.

"Your Highness, the Imperial Guards are all in Chongming Palace."

Chu Shitong sneered, "Is King Yuan planning to fight to the death?"

Song Huaijin pulled the reins and came to her side, saying, "Your eldest brother is the most cunning one, so we should be more careful."

Actually, what he wanted to say was that the people of Chu Shi's family might come up with some tricks. Maybe they wanted to trick them into entering Chongming Palace and then die together. However, because Chu Shitong also had the surname Chu Shi, he did not say what was in his mind.

Qin Wei led his men in the front to clear the way, while Chu Shitong and Song Huaijin followed behind him.

It was clearly a road to the palace that she had walked thousands of times, but when the moment of forcing the emperor to abdicate came, the excitement, excitement, and heaviness she had expected did not appear at all. Her mind was empty, with no mood and no thoughts.

Chu Shitong even looked at the gate of Chongming Palace at the end with some confusion.

This is her last path to becoming the new emperor. As long as she completes it and kills Chu Shixuan, she will be the new emperor of Beiqing and no one will dare to question her.

But at the moment when she held the sword in her hand, her heart was full of complicated feelings. When she thought about drawing swords and fighting with Chu Shixuan, a sense of resistance arose in her heart for no reason.

Why resist?

She was puzzled.

It was clear that he had pierced her heart with thousands of arrows in his previous life, and they were her mortal enemy, irreconcilable and irreconcilable.

Why resist?

she does not know.

The cavalry led by Qin Wei broke through the palace gate. The iron-hard vermilion door with gold nails was trampled to pieces. Thousands of guards in the palace had already been guarding the front of the palace. The moment the palace gate was broken, countless swords and guns were aimed at the intruders.

But no action was taken.

They didn't take any action, but Qin Wei didn't intend to wait any longer.

He slowly raised his hand, and in an instant countless archers climbed over the wall, and a grand rain of rockets pushed the civil strife to the extreme at this moment!

This is a warning to Chu Shixuan that he cannot escape this battle and he has to fight. If he doesn't fight, he will die!

A loud and urgent horn sounded, flames broke through the snow and rain, and the army behind them moved out!

The guards, each holding a broad sword, rose up to resist in the rain of fire.

"Royal Guards, listen up! Protect the Imperial City! Execute King Qi! Kill——"

A tragic roar completely broke out the war.

Chu Shixuan did not order the mobilization of the Imperial Guards, but they had long been disgusted with Chu Shitong's behavior from the bottom of their hearts. This abdication was expected by the world, and even if Chu Shixuan did not give the order, as the guardians of the imperial city, they could not abandon their armor and flee in such a cruel rain of blood.

The cavalry on both wings led by Qin Wei were the first to move out, followed by the heavy pile infantry. The red and black tiled city walls were completely knocked down by the heavy piles, and in an instant, countless heavy troops advanced and rumbled forward.

The shrill trumpet calls shook the palace, the cavalry on both wings rushed forward, and the heavy armored infantry also strode arrogantly and unstoppably, like a black tide sweeping in from the ground.

Finally, the two armies collided like a tidal wave, like thunder rumbling through the sky and like raging waves crashing against the mountains.

Long swords and scimitars clanged and danced, spears and javelins whistled and flew, dense rain of arrows covered the sky like a swarm of locusts, and the dull shouts and short roars made the mountains and rivers tremble!

The tough guy was fighting, refusing to turn back, with ferocious faces, bloody swords, low howls, and thick smoke and dust. The entire palace was shrouded and annihilated by the tragic atmosphere of this primitive fight.

The ground was covered with blood and corpses. The Imperial Guards had already adjusted their formation. Knowing that Chu Shitong's side had too many people, they chose a conservative approach to deal with the enemy.

It was not easy for Chu Shitong to break into the palace.

Swords flashed, blood filled the air, and in just a few moments the stone slabs were soaked with warm blood and the bodies of the soldiers who had been chopped to pieces.

The flames burned the palace red, and the snow fell heavier and heavier. At this moment, the Qinglian heavy cavalry officially entered the scene. The Qinglian soldiers were as brave as tigers, and they directly broke through the original defensive formation of the Guards and rushed to the front of the palace. The situation reversed sharply.

Under Qin Wei's protection, Chu Shitong finally walked up the long blood-stained steps and arrived in front of the hall. The door of the hall was open, and the room was dark and lifeless.

There was still a trace of blood splashed from someone unknown on Chu Shitong's face, and the smile on her face was hideous and crazy. Her previous confusion was completely replaced by the violence in her body the moment the war broke out.

When she thought of the throne that was within her grasp, the strange and twisted excitement in her heart made her blood beat faster and hot, and her hands trembled with desire to kill.

"Brother Royal."

She laughed softly, with madness welling up in her eyes.

"Where is my dear brother hiding? Do you want me to go find you in person?"

No one answered. Apart from the blazing fire in the palace and the sound of breaking wind, there was no one to answer.

Qin Wei stabbed the three people who were trying to launch a sneak attack from behind Chu Shitong with three daggers, and then continued to join in the fight, as if he was observing Chu Shitong's situation all the time, and as if he was immersed in the complete battle.

Chu Shixuan walked out slowly from the darkness, still dressed in white, so clean and dazzling, with an indifferent expression, calm and steady. He had no armor or sword. It was as if the tragic fighting in the palace had nothing to do with him, no matter how bad the world was, it had nothing to do with him.

When Chu Shitong saw him, all the hatred from his past and present lives turned into an extremely terrifying smile.

"You finally came out, brother."

When she said this, her tone was filled with endless tenderness and longing, as if they were really brothers who had not seen each other for a long time.

Chu Shixuan's eyes lightly swept across the war outside the hall and the extremely cruel killing, but he was not moved and stayed for a moment. He looked around and finally set his eyes on Chu Shitong.

"Xiao Qi, are you doing this for the throne?"

Chu Shitong smiled and said, "Not only for the throne, but also for revenge."

She raised her leg and kicked an iron sword on the ground to Chu Shixuan's side.

"Today, I have avenged my old and new grudges with my royal brother."

Seeing that Chu Shitong was determined to do so, Chu Shixuan thought for a moment and then took the sword in his hand.

"If you want to kill me to feel at ease, then I'll give you a chance."

"Brother, please don't say such misleading words. Your hypocritical performance will not move me at all. You'd better not show mercy, because I will really kill you."

As the words fell, the long sword in Chu Shitong's hand flew out against the wind, and the dark cold light went straight to Chu Shixuan's throat. Before the sword arrived, the cold sword energy had already shattered the frost and snow! Chu Shixuan stepped back a few steps and leaned his back against the blackened palace gate.

Chu Shitong changed his moves and thrust the long sword straight out. Chu Shixuan had no way to retreat, so he raised his hand and faced Chu Shitong head-on. The two sword energies collided, creating dazzling fireworks that burned and melted the ice and snow.

"Why do you hate me so much?" Chu Shixuan asked.

"Don't you hate me too?"

Chu Shitong suddenly exerted force in his hands and shouted, "If not, why would you kill me every time? Why are you trying to stop me?"

Chu Shixuan deflected the sword with his backhand and took a step back to avoid it.

"I didn't really want to kill you. You were wrong before. I just wanted to..."

Chu Shitong said angrily: "Why do you care whether I am right or wrong? The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit! Whether we win or lose, it is not your turn to teach me a lesson!"

"Beware!"

"Shut up!!"

Chu Shixuan suddenly took a step forward, and Chu Shitong immediately moved aside. Because she had put on soft armor in advance, she was not afraid that Chu Shixuan would try to die with her. When the long sword flipped in the air and was about to fall on Chu Shixuan's neck, a figure came into view. Chu Shitong was pushed away by a palm, and the movement of her hand also paused.

"Pfft-"

The sword on Chu Shixuan's neck did not fall, but the sword in the hand of the guard who came to attack him had already penetrated into Chu Shixuan's chest.

Chu Shitong's scalp exploded instantly.

A fear she had never experienced before instantly swept over her whole body.

The sword in Chu Shixuan's hand did not move as he advanced, and if it had not been for that palm strike just now, the cold sword would have stabbed her by now.
