Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

Si Jingli asked, "Why do you keep hiding from me?"

Chu Shitong lied with his eyes open: "I have never been hiding from Your Highness."

"You're talking nonsense." Si Jingli said with an unyielding look, "I went to look for you a few days ago, but you refused in every possible way. I heard what you said to Chu Shifan at the door. You just didn't want to see me on purpose! Today, I was behind you, but you just galloped. If there was no way ahead, I'm afraid I would still be chasing you!"

Chu Shitong looked away and refused to admit it, "Your Highness and I have no friendship or contact. It is inevitable that people will misunderstand us if we meet in private. If Your Highness insists on thinking this way, then I can't do anything about it."

"What do you mean by no friendship or contact?"

Si Jingli was so angry that he almost exploded, "Chu Shitong, you did this on purpose!"

Chu Shitong knew very well that he had better not deny this sentence now. If he showed even a little bit of kindness, Si Jingli and he would only become more entangled.

The kiss she had felt in her dream had instantly awakened her heart.

We can't let the situation continue like this, otherwise both of them will be doomed.

Chu Shitong was like a rock, unmovable even by thunder, and he refused to give any unnecessary explanation.

Si Jingli tightly grasped the reins. His thin figure seemed fragile and swaying in the wind, but he held on to his dignity and refused to say a single soft word.

The two men were in a stalemate for an unknown amount of time. Chu Shitong pulled the reins first and rode away from Si Jingli.

Si Jingli asked unwillingly, "Chu Shitong, what am I in your eyes?"

Chu Shitong paused for a moment and said.

"His Royal Highness is His Royal Highness."

"you......"

Si Jingli was about to say something when several arrows suddenly flew out from the direction Chu Shitong was facing. Chu Shitong came to her senses instantly, rolled off her horse and dodged, but she also realized at this moment that the arrows were not aimed at her, but at Si Jingli behind her.

Just when Chu Shitong drew out the dagger he carried with him and was anxiously worried about whether Si Jingli would be injured, Si Jingli unexpectedly brought his sword with him, and with two backhanded swords he directly cut off the arrow flying towards him.

The speed and precision of the movements stunned Chu Shitong.

Before he had time to think, countless arrows flew through the mountains and forests, all over the sky and fields, and thousands of arrows were shot at once, flying towards Si Jingli.

Chu Shitong paused for a moment, then immediately shouted loudly: "Rushuang! Save the prince!"

Rushuang appeared, her figure as light and swift as a ghost, with a long sword in her hand, spinning the sword flowers to block in front of Si Jingli, and at the critical moment she cut off all the arrows in front of Si Jingli.

It seemed that the opponent hiding in the mountains and forests also sensed something was wrong, and Rushuang's strength was displayed at this moment with overwhelming advantage.

The people in the forest stopped their actions, and Chu Shitong saw several figures retreating quickly.

Rushuang was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Chu Shitong.

"Don't go, they might have a backup plan."

Rushuang stopped unwillingly.

After this incident, Si Jingli’s condition was not much better.

When thousands of arrows were fired just now, he almost thought he was going to die here.

Chu Shitong stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, are you okay?"

Si Jingli was panting, his usual arrogance vanished when danger approached. Although his forced calmness was a bit forced, compared to being powerless, it was the first time that Chu Shitong realized that Si Jingli was actually a man with excellent skills.

"I am fine."

Chu Shitong said, "They seem to be coming for His Royal Highness. I wonder who His Royal Highness has offended to the point where they can reach out to Qingliang Villa."

Si Jingli lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then said, "I have offended too many people, I can't remember them all."

His expression was gloomy from beginning to end, as if he was about to break into pieces in the next second.

Chu Shitong originally didn't want to hunt with Si Jingli, but in this situation, it was really dangerous to let him go alone. If he was sent back, Si Jingli might not agree.

"It seems that it is not very safe for His Royal Highness to go alone on this hunt." Chu Shitong took the initiative to suggest, "Why don't you come with me? It will be safer with the shadow guards."

Si Jingli glanced at Rushuang and asked, "Is this the Shadow Guard of the Shadow Pavilion? Was it awarded to you by His Majesty?"

Chu Shitong: "Well, how is it?"

Si Jingli stood there, hesitating for a long time, and said, "You invited me here yourself."

Chu Shitong said frankly: "I took the initiative to invite you, for the sake of His Royal Highness's safety."

"Then... I will reluctantly agree to it."

......

Until the end of the hunt, the people who tried to assassinate Si Jingli never showed up again.

Perhaps the other party knew that Chu Shitong had a shadow guard from the Shadow Pavilion by his side, so they did not dare to act rashly.

But Chu Shitong understood that this assassination was just the beginning.

Because they were accompanied by Si Jingli, the prey they encountered during the hunt all had average scores, so this hunt ended with Chu Shixuan winning the first prize.

Originally, Chu Shitong was planning to show off his skills, but when he thought of Si Jingli's safety, he felt that Si Jingli was more important.

Perhaps Si Jingli also realized something. He followed Chu Shitong for a whole day and never spoke a word.

The assassination was not reported because if they really investigated it carefully, nothing would be found.

The secret guards did not follow the Prince Rong's mansion on this trip, because the shadow guards were beside His Majesty, so other people usually did not bring secret guards with them, for fear of inevitable collisions along the way.

The days passed peacefully like this until the tenth day when we arrived at Qingliang Villa.

On the day when the blessing ceremony ended, Chu Shiyu took everyone to the Buddhist temple.

As a prince, all Chu Shitong needed to do at this time was to go through the motions.

After the blessing ceremony finally ended, the crowd dispersed in twos and threes.

Chu Shitong stood at the door of the Buddhist temple, recalling the strange scene that happened when he was burning incense just now.

At that time, she knelt on the cushion, and according to the originally arranged ritual, she knelt three times and burned incense to worship the gods.

But just when he was inserting the incense in his hand into the incense burner, Chu Shitong found that several sticks of incense in his hand seemed to have suddenly broken.

In order to avoid being discovered by Ran, she pretended that she had not inserted the incense stick firmly, changed its position, and inserted her own incense stick at the back.

Although no one discovered it, Chu Shitong always felt that this was not a good omen.

The incense sticks were distributed uniformly by the temple, so why did eight of the incense sticks in my hand break?

While he was thinking, Chu Shitong heard the voice of Master Wuji coming from behind him.

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince, long time no see."

Chu Shitong looked back and saw that most of the people in the temple had left.

Master Wuji was still wearing the same tattered attire as before, with his robes full of patches.

He looks just like a charlatan who is swindling people for money.

Chu Shitong said: "Master Wuji, long time no see."

Master Wuji laughed and looked Chu Shitong up and down for a long time, which made Chu Shitong feel a little uncomfortable.

"Master, why do you look at me like that?"

"Nothing, nothing." Master Wuji smiled and said, "I just think that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is much more polite this time than the last time we met."

Chu Shitong looked away impatiently.

This old man never says anything serious.

Master Wuji laughed twice, then his expression changed and became more serious.

"When I first met His Highness, he was full of evil spirits, just like an absolute evil star. Now when I see him again, he is covered in blood and the evil spirits are overflowing, but there is a hint of a sudden turn of events. It is really strange."

Chu Shitong immediately looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, he finally stopped holding back the expression on his face.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you old man?"

"This is the Seventh Prince." Master Wuji said indifferently: "Your life will probably not be much better than before. You are too murderous and will only hurt those around you."

Chu Shitong looked solemn, trying to understand the meaning of his words.

Master Wuji said that her life is different from before?

Could this old man tell that he was reborn?

Before Chu Shitong could ask, Master Wuji said, "You look at people too cruelly with your eyes closed. You just punch people randomly with your eyes closed. If you are willing to open your eyes and take a look, perhaps there are many people in this world who are misunderstood by you. Everything has cause and effect."

"What do you mean by that?" Chu Shitong frowned and asked, "How can there be so many people who are misunderstood by me?"

Master Wuji said: "It is unspeakable, unspeakable, this is all destined by your fate."

Chu Shitong took a deep breath and prepared to turn around and leave.

Master Wuji smiled and said, "As for repaying a favor, the best way is to repay it with your own body."

Chu Shitong felt a chill and quickened his pace to escape from here.

......

After Chu Shitong returned, he kept thinking about Master Wuji's words.

This stinky old man laughed at her the first time he saw her. She was the first evil-looking woman he had ever met, which made Chu Shitong so angry that he scolded him for a long time.

However, Chu Shitong also felt that his description of himself was very appropriate.

She herself knows that she is a bad luck star.

Otherwise, how could my previous life have ended up like this?

What Chu Shitong cared about even more was Master Wuji's words: "The best way to repay a favor is to pledge yourself to him."

This sentence sounds a bit weird, but also somewhat fitting.

Chu Shitong's intention was to repay Si Jingli, but as a man now, how could she pledge her love to him?

Could it be that he really is a gay?

No.

Chu Shitong thought about it for a long time in Cangfeng Pavilion, but he couldn't figure it out.

As the sky gradually darkened, after dinner, Chu Shitong heard Bishui talk about Ji Shu's restaurant decoration in the capital.

It seemed that Yuan Xi had thought of a lot of new ideas. Together with Ji Shu, the two of them spent only 180 taels to decorate the entire restaurant in a very novel and clean way.

The restaurant is scheduled to open in early July, but Chu Shitong won't be back until August, so he probably won't be able to make it.

Ji Shu wrote down the restaurant management method that Yuan Xi had thought of and sent it to Chu Shitong. Chu Shitong took a look at the paper and saw something like "hunger marketing" and "discounts for recharge". It sounded good, so he agreed with their approach.

In the middle of the night, Rushuang suddenly appeared.

"Your Highness, something happened."

Chu Shitong was sitting on the couch, wearing a snow-white undershirt, reading a book in his hands.

"what happened?"

Since the incident at the hunting ground, Si Jingli seldom went out. To be on the safe side, Chu Shitong asked Rushuang to secretly watch over Si Jingli.

Rushuang said something happened, maybe something happened to Si Jingli.

Rushuang said, "Princess Chaoyang was insulted, and all the evidence in the room points to Prince Si. Prince Si and Prince Rong have been called away by His Majesty."

Chu Shitong paused.

"Princess Chaoyang? What's going on?"

Princess Chaoyang is the daughter of your Majesty's half-brother, King Jiang. She was the second candidate that Chu Shitong originally considered besides Her Royal Highness the Princess. King Jiang was stationed in the border city all year round and seldom came back.

The princess died in a fire in her early years. Princess Chaoyang also suffered a burn on her face due to the fire when she was young. She has been acting crazy ever since. She is a well-known flower maniac in the capital and is openly in love with Si Jingli.

Chu Shitong remembered that Princess Chaoyang was also humiliated in her previous life, but it happened at a New Year's family dinner several years later. King Jiang was very angry about it.

Princess Chaoyang insisted that it was Si Jingli who did it, which made Si Jingli very sick.

Fortunately, Si Jingli went out with Chu Shitong to sober up at that time. With Chu Shitong there, the suspicion was not so great. After the final investigation, it became clear that Princess Chaoyang was molested by a young man from a noble family after he was drunk.

Princess Chaoyang wanted to marry Si Jingli, so she cried and screamed and blamed the whole thing on Si Jingli.

King Jiang almost killed the drunken young master at the banquet.

However, Chu Shitong knew clearly that the young man was not drunk and had sex with someone, he did it on purpose.

He was just a chess piece, the mastermind was the person behind him, that person took a fancy to King Jiang's power, instigated the young master to get drunk and defiled her, and made the rice into a fait accompli. Although he married an ugly princess with a bad reputation, he was able to gain control of the 50,000 troops guarding the border of King Jiang's mansion, because King Jiang only had this one daughter.

This matter seems to have been brought forward due to some force majeure.

"I have been following Prince Si all the time. It seems that Princess Chaoyang invited Prince Si to the back mountain today. Prince Si originally refused, but Princess Chaoyang sent someone a note. Prince Si agreed after reading it. As a result, Prince Si went to the back mountain, drove away the people who followed him, and searched for Princess Chaoyang in the forest for a long time before he saw Princess Chaoyang. Princess Chaoyang was already in tattered clothes and had been humiliated, but she grabbed Prince Si and said that she was putting the blame on him. Prince Si was furious and kicked Princess Chaoyang away. Princess Chaoyang chased after him relentlessly. This incident alarmed the Imperial Guards, and His Majesty also knew about it."

Chu Shitong listened silently and suddenly felt that Si Jingli was really unlucky.

This kind of thing happened to him again after going around in circles.

But this matter is definitely not as simple as it seems.

The princess certainly does not have the connections and abilities to set up such a scheme. There must be someone helping her behind the scenes, and it must be the same group of people who attacked Si Jingli in the first place.

Prince Jiang loves his daughter dearly. If he knew that his daughter had been defiled, even if the victim was Si Jingli, he would come back directly from the border to settle accounts with Prince Rong's Mansion.

But Si Jingli's status was special, so the worst result of doing this would not be that he would be punished too severely. At most, he would be allowed to marry Princess Chaoyang.

If Si Jingli married Chaoyang, the marriage between the Rong Palace and the Jiang Palace would appear to be a strong alliance, but in reality it would be a mess of filth.

Because in Chu Shiyu's eyes, both the Jiang Palace and the Rong Palace are things that need to be eliminated. Their marriage to strengthen their power is just a disguised threat to the imperial power. Your Majesty must definitely take sanctions.
