The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 1100 - 689: Deciding to Go to Mobei (First Update)
Song Yanqing and Xie Ruotong were lost in each other for quite a while.
The others didn’t interrupt their romance either, watching them with indulgent smiles.
It took them a long time to realize there were still others in the room.
Xie Ruotong’s face blushed red.
Clearly, she didn’t want to be so lovey-dovey with Song Yanqing, yet she gradually succumbed to his sweet words.
"Finished your warm moments?" An Ning joked with a smile.
Xie Ruotong was too embarrassed to speak.
Song Yanqing also seemed a bit bashful, his face flushed as he respectfully spoke to An Ning, "Your Highness, I greatly appreciate your care for Ruotong today."
"I actually didn’t do much," An Ning said nonchalantly, handing the already asleep baby to Song Yanqing, "Now that the child is born safely, I’ll take my leave."
"Where are you going?!" Xie Ruotong asked, slightly excited.
"Since I’ve returned, I might as well check on Luming and Anqi," An Ning replied.
Xie Ruotong nodded.
Though a new mother, she finally understood the so-called maternal love.
At this moment, she couldn’t help but admire An Ning’s dedication to the Emperor, to be willing to leave the child and depart resolutely.
If An Ning hadn’t truly met Gu Xingchuan and seen him alive, would she and the Emperor have missed each other for a lifetime?
With that thought, Xie Ruotong couldn’t help but ask, "An Ning, aren’t you going to Mobei?"
An Ning’s heart stirred slightly.
She pressed her lips tightly.
"The Emperor is personally leading the army; currently Princess Hezhen and the Prince Consort are assisting the Crown Prince in governing the country," Xie Ruotong said, "The court’s situation is stable now. Although the Crown Prince is young, he is diligent, and he is well-loved by the civil and military officials. So you needn’t worry about the Crown Prince in the palace; you can peacefully go to Mobei to find the Emperor."
Indeed, An Ning had considered it.
But if she goes to Mobei, besides Luming, she has to leave Youyou behind.
Moreover, she didn’t know how long Xiao Jinxing’s campaign would last.
There were many concerns.
In fact.
An Ning smiled slightly, "Yes, I’m going."
Xie Ruotong was taken aback.
She thought An Ning’s hesitation meant she was struggling, yet she unexpectedly agreed so readily.
She said, "Xiao Jinxing and I have too many misunderstandings; I need to clarify them face-to-face."
"I support you," Xie Ruotong quickly said, "The Emperor truly likes you. As for Feng Xiyun, don’t let her weigh on your mind; the Emperor has no feelings for her."
"How do you know?" An Ning asked.
Actually, she knew.
If Xiao Jinxing truly liked Feng Xiyun, he wouldn’t treat her this way.
In the past... maybe it was just a deep obsession making her self-deceive.
"Back then at the border during the war, Feng Xiyun rescued the Emperor from an avalanche; naturally, the Emperor is grateful to her, but obviously Feng Xiyun... You know the Emperor is handsome like no other; it’s hard for any woman not to be enchanted by him."
"So were you enchanted once?" Song Yanqing suddenly chimed in.
Originally immersed in the joy of his baby daughter, he was watching her without blinking. Upon hearing Xie Ruotong’s words, he quickly turned to ask.
Xie Ruotong shot Song Yanqing a glare.
Song Yanqing dared not speak further.
Xie Ruotong continued, "So whenever Feng Xiyun expressed even a little closeness to the Emperor, he actually made a deliberate effort to avoid her. The reason the Emperor brought Feng Xiyun back to the palace was that she expressed a desire to better discuss medical skills with the Imperial Physicians. Hence, the Emperor allowed Feng Xiyun to return. To the Emperor, Feng Xiyun is merely seeking talented people like a thirst."
"Yes." An Ning nodded.
Indeed, she already knew Xiao Jinxing had nothing special with Feng Xiyun.
But hearing confirmation from others brings an inexplicable joy to her heart.
Is it possessiveness over a loved one?!
An Ning wasn’t sure.
In any case, she felt rather good now.
"When do you plan to depart?" Xie Ruotong inquired with concern.
"I’ll enter the palace shortly to see Luming and Anqi, and set off early tomorrow morning," An Ning said, making arrangements.
Xie Ruotong couldn’t help but chuckle, teasing, "You’re more eager than I imagined."
An Ning didn’t deny it, she earnestly replied, "I don’t want to miss any more opportunities."
With Xiao Jinxing, she didn’t want to miss any more chances.
"Alright, I won’t hold you back then, return to the palace early and head to Mobei early tomorrow. By the way, it’s quite cold in Mobei, take care to keep warm. Also, once you arrive, tell the Emperor that as soon as my body recovers slightly, I’ll rush to Mobei."
"Women giving birth tend to be physically weak; don’t push yourself too hard." An Ning admonished seriously, "Song Yanqing."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Take good care of Ruotong, don’t let her overexert herself. While defending the homeland is important, if her health is damaged, everything is in vain."
"Understood." Song Yanqing responded respectfully at once.
"Ruotong, rest well, take your confinement period seriously and recover your health properly. I’ll take my leave now." An Ning repeatedly reminded her with concern.
"Alright." Xie Ruotong nodded.
This departure of An Ning was the one she supported and looked forward to the most, with blessings in her heart.
"May you and the Emperor have eternal love and a harmonious union." Xie Ruotong added.
An Ning paused.
Then she gladly said, "I accept your generous words."
Xie Ruotong smiled.
An Ning stood up, took one last look at Xie Ruotong’s daughter, then turned to leave.
Song Yanqing passed the daughter to the wet nurse and respectfully bid farewell to An Ning.
An Ning held An Youyou’s hand.
Song Yanqing bowed with clasped fists, "Your Highness, allow me to accompany you to the Imperial Palace."
"No need..."
"Your Highness, you have been away from the Imperial Palace for half a year; I’m concerned that entering the palace might be inconvenient, and it’d be better for me to be present." Song Yanqing explained.
An Ning paused.
Indeed, Song Yanqing had thought it through.
Now she’s the Empress, yet not entirely.
Suddenly entering the palace might indeed face obstacles.
"Then I’ll trouble you." An Ning expressed her gratitude.
"It’s my duty."
Song Yanqing rode on horseback.
An Ning and Youyou sat in the carriage.
The coachman was Guan Yu.
They had brought quite a few martial artists along, yet upon reaching Xun City, they settled them at an inn, with only Guan Yu accompanying her to the General Mansion.
Upon reaching the palace gates.
Song Yanqing dismounted first and respectfully said outside An Ning’s carriage, "Your Highness, please wait a moment; I’ll negotiate with the palace guards."
"Alright."
Song Yanqing departed.
Soon, Song Yanqing returned and respectfully informed, "Your Highness, it’s all arranged. You may enter the palace and directly return to your residence. If you wish to summon the Crown Prince and Princess tonight, please have the palace attendants report in advance."
"Alright." An Ning nodded, "You head back early."
"I have a word to say to Your Highness."
An Ning frowned slightly but nevertheless lifted the curtain.
Song Yanqing gazed at An Ning’s exposed head and respectfully commented, "I just wish to say, the Emperor’s love for Your Highness runs deep; he might not withstand Your Highness repeatedly... wearing him down. I’ve previously mentioned to Your Highness, for the sake of the people and all the lands, please ensure Daxuan Kingdom has a good emperor."
