The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 131 - 79: Trip to Yuzhou (1) Venting_4

Ye Qichi nodded.

If she doesn’t walk by herself, how could she possibly expect someone to carry her back to her room?

Xiao Jinxing would never be so kind-hearted.

All the other servants in this courtyard had already been sent away by Xiao Jinxing.

Only she and Lu You were left.

Fortunately, she never liked being waited on by too many people, so she didn’t mind it.

But at this moment, she felt somewhat annoyed.

Just as Ye Qichi was preparing to get up,

suddenly four servants appeared in the courtyard.

The servants hurriedly stepped forward, "Princess, we are here to help you back to your room."

Ye Qichi frowned.

"It was Lord Wu’s order," the servants explained.

As expected, it was not Xiao Jinxing.

"Lord Wu also said, from today onwards, us four servants will be taking care of the Princess in the courtyard," the servants added.

Ye Qichi smiled.

She really ought to thank Lord Wu.

Thank his lordship!

Knowing she would be leaving for Yuzhou the day after tomorrow, yet now he sends her some servants.

Are they sent to freeload and add to her troubles?!

Ye Qichi, holding back her irritation, was carried back to bed by the servants.

Lu You undid the Princess’s clothes. Although there was no gruesome wound, the area was swollen and red.

"Princess, why do you keep getting hurt? You either take arrows for the Prince or get punished by the Empress, if not stabbed by an assassin, then you’re punished by the Prince again," Lu You said with her heart trembling, "I think it’s not easy for the Princess to still be alive now."

"You should be thankful," Ye Qichi said weakly.

If it were your former mistress, she would have died hundreds of times by now.

But at this moment, Ye Qichi still felt a bit sentimental.

No one else could have transmigrated into such a suffocating situation!

...

The wound on Ye Qichi’s back improved by the next day.

However, she was grounded and punished with copying books, though naturally, she wouldn’t do it herself.

Since Lord Wu had sent four servants, if she didn’t use them to copy books, thinking about having to pay them for the following months of her absence made her feel the pinch.

Because of her punishment, she didn’t go anywhere for the next two days.

On the third day, fгeewebnovёl.com

Ye Qichi was about to depart for Yuzhou.

Lu You was crying her eyes out.

As Ye Qichi prepared to get into the carriage, she continued to desperately beg the Princess to take her along.

"Stop crying, people who don’t know better might think you’re mourning," Ye Qichi said, exasperated.

Lu You was dumbfounded by the Princess’s words.

The Princess always spoke without a filter, how could she say such things so casually.

"Take good care of my rabbits, I will return safely," Ye Qichi instructed.

Lu You looked aggrieved, her eyes red and swollen.

Ye Qichi felt helpless.

She turned and gave Lu You a hug.

Lu You was startled.

The Princess actually took the initiative to hug her.

That hug made her heartbeat accelerate.

"Don’t worry about me, take good care of yourself," Ye Qichi said gently.

Lu You burst into tears.

She couldn’t handle the Princess being so kind to her.

Ye Qichi couldn’t stand Lu You’s weeping and wailing either.

She turned and got straight into the carriage.

On the carriage, Xiao Jinxing had already taken his seat inside.

He was firstly headed towards the Imperial Palace.

Then, to make a majestic departure from the grand palace.

When the Emperor assigns a task to a Prince, it must be executed with such grandeur that the whole nation is aware.

Inside the carriage.

Xiao Jinxing remained silent.

He wouldn’t even spare Ye Qichi a single direct glance.

Ye Qichi didn’t pay him any attention either.

Neither of them acknowledged the other, until they arrived at the gates of the Imperial Palace.

At the palace gate, the Emperor and Empress along with all the concubines, princes, princesses, and civil and military officials had long been waiting.

After being lifted from the carriage, Xiao Jinxing solemnly performed the standard prostration ritual before the Emperor, who in turn personally bestowed upon him, in front of all the officials, the Token and the Imperial Sword once again.

Such an honor made Xiao Jinsen jealous.

This was supposed to be his moment of glory, and yet it fell upon Xiao Jinxing.

For him, controlling an epidemic was a trivial matter.

It was Chen Zihuan and his father who weren’t ruthless enough!

Xiao Jinsen’s eyes coldly watched Xiao Jinxing.

The intent to kill was apparent in his gaze.

He had never intended to lay hands on Xiao Jinxing; after all, Xiao Jinxing posed no threat to him, and he disdained to kill those who were weak.

But alas, Xiao Jinxing had become an obstacle in his grand schemes!

He must go to Xingchuan, no matter what; without reclaiming Xingchuan, many of his future plans would be nothing but empty talk.

Now, the only way he could travel to Xingchuan without defying his father’s will would be if Xiao Jinxing died. Only with Xiao Jinxing’s death could he replace him and go!

A cold smile appeared on his lips.

Xiao Jinxing, it’s a pity for you that you’re doomed by bad luck.

Ever since childhood, you’ve been ill-fated!

At this moment.

Xiao Jinxing had already returned to the carriage.

Ye Qichi hadn’t left the carriage from beginning to end; she didn’t want anyone to know that she was accompanying them.

Back in the carriage.

The Imperial Guards and infantry assigned by the Emperor set off from the Imperial Palace in a grand procession.

The people of Xun City, the capital of Daxuan Kingdom, all came out to respectfully send them off.

Everywhere were people, showing their awe towards Xiao Jinxing.

Within the crowd.

A familiar figure also watched the carriage go by.

The carriage passed him by.

But he didn’t dare call out to her.

The carriage moved further and further away.

On both sides, the citizens who had come to see them off gradually dispersed.

"Young Master, are you reluctant to part?" A female voice suddenly sounded next to him.

Gu Xingchuan regained his composure but did not reply.

"Believe that the Princess Consort will have the protection of the heavens," Xiang Qin consoled.

Gu Xingchuan pursed his lips, then said, "When she left, she specially instructed me to give you the antidote."

Xiang Qin was taken aback.

She thought that once the Princess Consort left, she would have no time to be concerned with her.

"I will have someone send it regularly," Gu Xingchuan said.

"This servant thanks the Young Master," she replied.

"Thank her," Gu Xingchuan said, his eyes still fixed on the distance, whispering, "Wait for her return, and thank her in person."

Xiang Qin nodded.

Watching Gu Xingchuan at that moment, she couldn’t help but sigh softly to herself.

The feelings Gu Xingchuan had for Ye Qichi... perhaps, it was Gu Xingchuan who would end up hurt.
