The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

As the eldest son, Shen Yusang has always been the one being flattered and fawned upon by others, but he has never actively pursued anyone.

Therefore, his methods in pursuing Lu Shi were not very clever.

He would play chess with Lu Shi when she was playing alone. Even though his chess skills were very poor and there was a world of difference between him and Lu Shi, he would still win occasionally.

This accidental situation was enough to make him happy for a long time.

"Your Highness, I never thought I could win even though I'm such a poor chess player. I must be so lucky."

"Luck does not represent strength."

Shen Yusang didn't care. "I don't care. Winning is winning. After playing more than ten or twenty games, winning two is normal."

He was immersed in the joy of victory, happily counting the chess pieces on the board, his eyebrows curved into beautiful crescent shapes.

Therefore, he also missed the fleeting smile in Lu Shi's eyes.

Sometimes he would lean over to Lu Shi when he was flipping through a book, with their heads pressed together as they looked at the words in the book together.

The writing in this world is slightly different from that in the 21st world. Shen Yusang has the memories of the original owner, but he can still read it haltingly and not very fast.

So when Lu Shi turned the page, he would reach out to stop him.

The delicate hand was pressed on the other slender hand. Shen Yusang didn't feel anything wrong. Instead, Lu Shi was stunned. There was a mysterious look in his eyes when he looked at Shen Yusang, but it disappeared when he looked over.

Shen Yusang didn't know any techniques for pursuing someone. He only had one principle in mind: the longer he spent with Lu Shi, the deeper their feelings would become.

Isn't this what love is like over time?

In fact, it is true.

Compared to his previous coldness, Lu Shi's attitude towards Shen Yusang has indeed improved a lot. At least he rarely speaks in a sarcastic and cryptic manner in front of him.

Shen Yusang feels a great sense of accomplishment about this.

This shows that his efforts these days have not been in vain.

He said that there is nothing he can't handle, including love!

But as they got closer to the capital, there was one thing Shen Yusang had to confess.

"Your Majesty, do you really not have any doubts about my identity?"

Hearing this, Lu Shi, who was originally leisurely enjoying the scenery outside the window, turned his head slightly and replied with a smile: "Yes, there is."

"Oh, you really do!" This simple and clear answer made Shen Yusang's jaw drop to the ground, and his eyes widened.

But on second thought, he seems quite suspicious.

So, he scratched his head sheepishly, laughed dryly, and said, "Then what does Your Majesty suspect me of? Have you guessed my identity?"

"Are you saying this because you want to confess to me?" Lu Shi finally put down the book in his hand, rested his hand on the table with his chin in his hand, and looked at him leisurely.

"I...I don't know what to say..."

Shen Yusang hesitated. He had clearly made up his mind to confess, but at the critical moment he couldn't help but back down.

He was a little scared.

They were afraid that if the truth was revealed, their relationship would return to the pre-liberation era or even worsen.

But he also had some hope, hoping that their current friendship could offset that sin, although given Lu Shi's usual personality, the hope was slim.

Shen Yusang lowered his head and counted his fingers, then looked up at the ceiling of the carriage. His vision was wandering and his thoughts were confused.

"It's just...if someone embarrasses you in a particularly important situation, what would you do?"

"And what if that person is me..."

After saying these words, Shen Yusang lowered his head, not daring to look up and meet Lu Shi's gaze. He could only prick up his ears quietly and wait for Lu Shi's answer with bated breath.

Lu Shi, who had a completely different attitude from Shen Yusang, had a smile on her face. She leaned lazily against the inner wall of the carriage, and her every move showed her complete relaxation.

"Shen Yusang, this king is not a fool."

"Yes, yes, the prince is the smartest, but the prince hasn't answered my question yet..."

Shen Yusang was so focused on listening to Lu Shi's thoughts that he didn't realize there was anything wrong with what Lu Shi said. Until, in a flash, he suddenly understood something.

His current name is Sang Yu, not "Shen Yusang" as Lu Shi mentioned.

So, did Lu Shi guess his identity early on?

Shen Yusang raised his eyes slightly, his gaze flickering.

"Your Highness...when exactly did you discover my true identity?"

His voice was as light as the breeze blowing through the strings of a piano, with a hint of tension and uneasiness that was difficult to conceal.

Lu Shi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said slowly: "On Longgang Mountain."

These three short words sounded like a thunderclap in Shen Yusang's ears.

"So early!" Shen Yusang couldn't help but exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.

Wasn't that the first time they met?

Before that, neither of them knew what the other looked like, and even he didn't recognize that Lu Shi was Prince An.

Shen Yusang was puzzled.

However, Lu Shi seemed to see through her inner struggle and just smiled calmly.

"Do you think that just anyone can own a dragon and phoenix bracelet? Or that anyone can own so many royal accessories?"

"In addition to the royal rewards, some of these things were given by me to my wife. Otherwise, do you really think I would covet your box of gold, silver and jewelry?"

Shen Yusang suddenly understood.

That's it!

He asked why the original owner had to hide such a box of gold, silver and jewelry, because it turned out that it could not be used.

It’s also because his memory didn’t merge well with the original owner’s, and some parts are missing.

"Since Your Majesty already knew my identity, why didn't you expose me? And Your Majesty... aren't you angry?"

"Why are you angry? The benefits I have gained from you are more than you can imagine."

First, half of the Duke of Zhenguo's property will be given as compensation after he escaped from marriage. Then, as a reward for finding and protecting the person, in addition to the purple saliva grass, he may get the remaining one-third of the Duke of Zhenguo's property.

It can be said that because of Shen Yusang, Lu Shi’s already rich wallet became even fatter.

Therefore, she didn't care at all about Shen Yusang's escape from marriage.

"As for exposing you, that's even more unnecessary and will only cause unnecessary trouble."

Shen Yusang curled her lips, "Then you actually watched me pretending in front of you for more than a month. Do you look at me like a clown every day?"

"Clown?" Lu Shi glanced at him dimly.

Shen Yusang realized that he had said something wrong and subconsciously stretched out his hands to cover his mouth tightly, his bright eyes rolling around.

Sometimes it's like this, when words come out of your mouth, you may accidentally say something that doesn't belong to this world.

Be sure to pay attention to this in the future.

"I don't have so many petty thoughts. But you, this is the last time I will advise you, don't waste your time on me."

At this point, Lu Shi's voice grew colder, and a vague barrier, like an invisible wall, once again stood between the two of them.

Shen Yusang was helpless. "Your Highness, you've said this several times. If you want to reject me, you have to find a new way."

Shen Yusang would not allow Lu Shi to push him away again, so he decisively broke the barrier.

"But are you worried that I won't be able to pass the Queen's test? This is indeed a bit troublesome."

Thinking of this, Shen Yusang couldn't help but frowned, but soon relaxed again, with a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

So he had to spread his medical skills as much as possible and as quickly as possible.

At this moment, Lu Shi lowered his eyes slightly, sighed deeply, and said softly: "We will arrive in the capital tomorrow. I hope you can still be so confident by then."

She has advised him so many times. If he gets sad tomorrow, it will not be her business.
