Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

Chapter 179 If You Don’t Care, I’ll Give Up

Bishui said in surprise: "Is there such a saying?"

She had never thought that a water celery could kill someone, so she knelt down and admitted her fault, "Your Highness, please forgive me. It was Bishui who didn't pay attention. How about putting the water celery aside for now? I'll ask a doctor to come and take a look at it for you later..."

"No need, this king won't die so soon."

Chu Shitong looked at Qin Wei deeply, then picked up a piece of water celery with chopsticks and was about to put it into his mouth.

Qin Wei's icy face, which had remained unchanged all year round, finally showed a hint of panic.

"Your Highness!"

His flustered voice made Chu Shitong pause as he was about to hand the water celery to her mouth.

Qin Wei said: "Let's find a doctor first. Your Highness is from the capital, so he is not used to eating this."

Chu Shitong sneered and deliberately provoked, "You can eat it, Bishui can eat it, why can't I eat it? Could this bite of food cost me my life?"

After saying that, she moved her hands again, as if she was looking for death.

Qin Wei was so anxious that he stood up and knocked the chopsticks out of her hand regardless of his status.

With a "pop" sound, two chopsticks and a piece of water celery fell to the ground crisply.

Bishui's eyes widened in shock.

Is this new guy crazy?

Chu Shitong has been in a very bad temper recently, and she doesn't want to be scolded for no reason.

"Your Highness, calm down! This newcomer doesn't know the rules. I will find someone to punish him right away..."

"No need."

Chu Shitong stared at Qin Wei coldly. Qin Wei lowered his head guiltily and dared not look at him.

"Bishui, you go out first."

Bishui bowed and ran away quickly.

Only Chu Shitong and Qin Wei were left in the room. Chu Shitong was leaning lazily on the chair, no longer looking like he was seeking death. Qin Wei was standing aside, not daring to even breathe.

He regretted it so much that in his impulse, he forgot that Chu Shitong was actually a shrewd and calculating fox.

She wasn't seeking death at all, she was clearly testing him with her own life!

Chu Shitong's hands tapped lightly on the table, carelessly playing a slow and torturous melody.

Qin Wei's heart was pounding. In order to prevent Chu Shitong from drawing any conclusions, he immediately knelt on the ground.

"Your Highness, I am guilty. Please punish me."

"Are you guilty?" Chu Shitong looked at him expressionlessly, "What crime have you committed?"

The more Chu Shitong acted like this, the more uneasy Qin Wei became.

"I...I shouldn't have overstepped the line and disrespected Your Highness...nor should I have brought up the matter of water celery with Your Highness. Your Highness is a lucky person, and nothing will happen if you eat some water celery. I was just overthinking..."

His remarks made Chu Shitong laugh out of anger.

What is this? Hard installation?

Qin Wei had obviously been exposed. He was also a person who came back from his previous life, and now he pretended to be unfamiliar and admitted his mistake, which made Chu Shitong angry and wanted to laugh.

This dog is still so stupidly loyal.

However, Chu Shitong did not expose him, but just said quietly: "In this case, I will give you a chance to atone for your sin. Use your other pair of chopsticks to pick up some water celery and feed it to me."

Qin Wei's body suddenly stiffened and his mind went blank in an instant.

This is Chu Shitong's usual tactic. She is always like this and will not stop until she has pushed someone to death.

Chu Shitong was like a beast patiently hunting, looking at him with provocation in his eyes, while Qin Wei was like a trapped beast in prison, totally at a loss as to what to do at this moment.

He stood there straight, not moving at all.

It seems that as long as I fall into a long silence, I can escape the current predicament.

Chu Shitong waited for a while, but couldn't wait any longer, so he stood up, took a new pair of chopsticks, and reached out to pick up some food.

Qin Wei didn't dare to move at all. His heart was beating so wildly that his head was aching.

He watched Chu Shitong pick up another piece of water celery and put it into his mouth, but he didn't dare to persuade him anymore.

If he tried to stop him, Chu Shitong would definitely know that he was also reborn, which would violate his original agreement.

But if he didn't stop it... this small piece of water celery would be enough to kill Chu Shitong...

In his heart, he kept praying to Chu Shitong that for the sake of his life, he would stop this already decided test at the critical moment.

But Chu Shitong is such a person who doesn't know what is good for him.

Her movements were so smooth and seamless without even a hint of hesitation that Qin Wei almost went crazy watching her.

As soon as the water celery touched Chu Shitong's lips, Qin Wei couldn't help but pull the chopsticks out of her hand.

The corners of Chu Shitong's mouth rose slightly in a mocking arc.

Installed.

Reinstall.

Looking at Qin Wei kneeling on the ground with his head down without saying a word, her mood suddenly became extremely good.

Qin Wei also came back.

This simply confirmed the owner of the dragon throne.

What’s even better is that Qin Wei still has memories of his previous life, which saves her a lot of effort.

Chu Shitong had a lot to say to Qin Wei, such as how he lived after he left him in his previous life, what the ending of his previous life was, or how many years Chu Shixuan lived after he died.

But when it really came time to speak, I didn't want to ask any of the words that had been accumulating for a long time.

Her separation from Qin Wei was an unpleasant memory, and she didn't want to mention any of the aggrieved and miserable things that happened in her past life.

When the words came to my lips, they turned into: "I remember your family is not here, but what happened?"

Qin Wei didn't say anything.

Chu Shitong thought he was still angry because he had driven him away in his previous life, so he patiently said, "We have been master and servant for many years, and have experienced many life and death. In the world, you are the only one who knows me, and I am the only one who knows you. If you hadn't said such harsh words, I wouldn't have driven you away. We finally meet again in the next life, are you still angry with me because of the past?"

Qin Wei's eyelashes trembled slightly, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and he refused to say a word.

Chu Shitong took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I am no longer the same person in this life. If you follow me, nothing like what happened in the past life will happen to you."

Her voice was particularly moving when she softened her temper. The cold voice and the careless elongation of the last note always gave off a feeling of wanting to understand people thoroughly.

Qin Wei's heart had already softened a bit, but he didn't dare to admit it.

"I don't know what your Highness means by this... I have never seen your Highness before."

Chu Shitong paused.

The overwhelming anger swept away all rationality in an instant.

She knew Qin Wei was lying, but she didn't know why Qin Wei was lying.

It was precisely because he didn't know the reason that he became even angrier when Qin Wei pretended to be stupid.

"Will." Chu Shitong's tone was already filled with impatience. "I'm speaking to you in a nice way. If you don't appreciate my kindness, I won't die without you."

Qin Wei lowered his head a little bit.

"I really don't know what your Highness is talking about."

Chu Shitong was so angry that he couldn't help it anymore and asked sternly, "Don't think I can let you go just because you play dumb!"

Qin Wei said: "I am not pretending to be stupid, Your Highness, please understand."

Chu Shitong's face turned cold, and the anger in her heart that had nowhere to vent almost made her collapse.

The room was suddenly quiet, with only the sound of Chu Shitong adjusting his controlled breathing.

She didn't know what she was thinking about, and suddenly she stood up from the chair, her eyes like glass beads filled with countless complex emotions.

"Could it be that the events of your past life have shaken your mind and you feel that my bid for the throne is doomed to fail, so you don't want to stay with me anymore?"

Qin Wei was frightened by her sudden suspicion and raised his head suddenly.

He thought Chu Shitong was trying to force him one last time.

When I saw the expression on Chu Shitong's face, my heart seemed to be frozen in an instant, and a cold feeling swept through my whole body.

Chu Shitong actually meant what he asked.

She really suspected that Qin Wei didn't recognize her because he wanted to join Chu Shixuan.

Both of them knew that the other was reborn, and Chu Shitong naturally knew how loyal Qin Wei was to her in her previous life.

Asking such a question suddenly made Qin Wei a traitor.

Qin Wei's pupils were trembling. He knew that Chu Shitong was very suspicious, but he didn't expect that in her new life, her suspicion would be even worse than in her previous life.

For a moment, Qin Wei didn't know how to explain.

The more silent he was, the angrier Chu Shitong became.

"What kind of fool do you think I am? I've already died once. If I still can't get the throne, I might as well die now to save myself from wasting years of effort!"

"Your Highness, that's not what I meant..."

"Then what do you mean?"

Chu Shitong's irritable expression seemed to have been irritated to the extreme.

Qin Wei bit his lips tightly. He really wanted to tell Chu Shitong the truth, but he had made an agreement with that person, so he couldn't tell him and could only bite the bullet and hide it.

"I...I don't know what Your Highness is talking about...I have never seen Your Highness before..."

This sentence was like a spark falling into an already boiling oil pan. Chu Shitong exploded immediately and slapped Qin Wei in the face cleanly!

"You have the guts to lie to me now, right?!"

The slap from Chu Shitong was not heavy, at least it was nothing to Qin Wei.

He just lowered his head even lower, not daring to say a word when she was at the peak of her anger.

Seeing that he refused to budge, Chu Shitong confirmed some of his guesses.

No wonder she couldn't find him.

He was also reborn.

And he was afraid of meeting her again after his rebirth as he did in his previous life, so he simply chose to flee from the place where they met in their previous life and wandered all the way here.

The anger in her heart was mixed with a bit of bitterness. Chu Shitong always thought that in this world, Qin Wei's loyalty to her was far greater than Si Jingli's love for her. At least the two kinds of feelings and the trust they showed her were completely different.

But now seeing that Qin Wei refused to acknowledge her, the fire in her heart burned, making her feel pitiful and ridiculous.

Chu Shitong looked at Qin Wei with a smile in anger. His cold and beautiful face seemed indescribably hideous and distorted at this moment when emotions were swirling and intertwined.

"Qin Wei, do you really think that I can't take the throne without you?"

All the humiliations that happened to her in her previous life after she drove Qin Wei away are now vivid in her mind.

Thinking of Qin Wei's words "I can't leave" in his previous life, Chu Shitong's eyes turned red, and he spoke word by word while gritting his teeth as if in revenge.

"I can do without you! In my previous life, I just fell into Chu Shixuan's trap. In my next life, no one can stop me from ascending the throne! Don't you want to follow Chu Shixuan? I won't give you this opportunity!

"When we get back to the capital, you will obediently go to the training camp. I want to see how long you can endure the torture in the training camp. I will keep your life so that you can live to see how I ascended the throne, and then let you see clearly how Chu Shixuan died in my hands!"

Ever since Chu Shitong secretly took over the power of the training camp from the eldest princess, she has been secretly cultivating a shadow guard force for herself.

The training camp is not a good place. The training of shadow guards is very difficult. It can be said that one hundred people enter and only one leaves.

With Qin Wei's abilities, it shouldn't be difficult for him to enter the training camp, but Chu Shitong's intention was obviously to send him there on purpose to make things difficult for him.

Qin Wei had no intention of resisting this.

……

Chu Shitong's wedding to Si Jingli was scheduled for October 11, which was Chu Shitong's birthday.

On this day, the marquis's mansion started setting off firecrackers early in the morning and continued to do so for more than half an hour. The people gathered at the door for a long time, all curious about what good things had happened in the mansion.

Because it was a private marriage, it was not made public.

From a distance I could hear that the mansion was very lively, with firecrackers blasting and gongs and drums beating.

Chu Shitong was secretly sent into the secret door of the Marquis' Mansion early in the morning. The place where she would meet her bride was in the Marquis' Mansion, in the Marquis's wife's room.

There were very few people who could come in to see the wedding, and almost all of them were servants in the mansion. Mu Jingfeng gave many servants a day off and deliberately made the mansion more lively. Most of these people were servants who had been in the Mu family for more than ten years and were loyal to the family, so he was not afraid that they would tell others.

Only some of Chu Shitong's subordinates changed into new clothes and attended this secret wedding.

All rituals were kept simple at Chu Shitong's request, eliminating unnecessary steps such as picking up the bride.

Chu Shitong sat in front of the dressing table, listening quietly to the noise of the crowd outside.

Everyone seemed very happy.

Even Bishui, who was doing her makeup, looked happy.

Except Chu Shitong himself.

She stared at herself in the mirror expressionlessly. Her skin was as white as snow, her lip balm was bright red, and her carefully tied hair was covered with priceless jewels. She was so beautiful that it was dizzying and unforgettable.

Si Jingli also specifically asked Bishui to put a cinnabar mole on her forehead and draw a fiery red flower.

She was clearly as luxurious, beautiful and dignified as a golden lotus born from the earth, but her light brown eyes were as cold as ice.

"Your Highness, today is a happy day, you have to be happy." Bishui advised with a bitter face.

Chu Shitong lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on the scarlet veil embroidered with a golden phoenix, and responded in a muffled voice.

You have to be happier, otherwise the young master will see you with a sullen face.

It's going to make trouble again.

For the time being, she didn't think about what Qin Wei was sick with. He had rarely spent enough time with Si Jingli. Today, they were finally lucky enough to get married. At least for the whole day, she had to focus on Si Jingli.

The old lady outside the door came in and saw Chu Shitong’s bridal outfit from afar, and her eyes lit up with amazement.

"Your Highness Prince Qi, the auspicious time is almost here, shall we set off?"

"Walk."

Chu Shitong raised his chin slightly to signal, and Bishui happily picked up the veil and placed it on Chu Shitong's head.

Chu Shitong went out of the door with the help of Bishui. Si Jingli had been waiting for him at the gate on horseback for a long time. The young man was as handsome as jade, bright and dazzling, and the smile on his face was unrestrained and gentle, which was unforgettable.

Chu Shitong had deleted the part about picking up the bride, but Si Jingli didn't want to cut it, so he changed it to picking the bride from one courtyard to his courtyard.

Although the distance was short, I still took it.

Si Jingli looked at Chu Shitong getting on the bridal sedan with full of anticipation. He was as happy as a peacock that had successfully courted its mate, and he wished he could open his screen to show off to everyone.

As the sound of firecrackers and the wedding procession walked away.

The magpie and the lark stayed where they were, looking unhappy.

Bai Ling said worriedly, "Isn't it a bad idea for us to hide this from His Highness? Brother Ji told us to tell His Highness right away..."

Wu Que said indifferently, "That has to be after today, right? Your Highness and the Crown Prince will be married soon. Today is a great day. If Your Highness knew that Master Fan died on the battlefield, wouldn't Your Highness immediately set off to return to the capital?"
