The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 31 - : Life and Death are Determined by Fate
Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Life and Death are Determined by Fate
"Prince!" Xiao Wu was anxious.
If things continue like this, the Princess will really die.
Although the Prince had thought of killing the Princess before, she is obviously different now. Besides, the Prince and the Princess had shared a room, and in the current situation, the Princess is clearly saving the Prince. Wouldn't the Prince have a heart of stone to be so cold and ruthless?!
Xiao Jinxing glanced at the fainted Ye Qichi.
Looking at the blood all over her, looking at her pale face.
Killing Ye Qichi had been his plan all along.
The King is now courting the Minister of Rites. Based on his understanding of the King, he is bound to succeed, it's just a matter of time. Keeping Ye Qichi by his side would be a calamity. He could only sever all ties with the Minister of Rites, to avoid being targeted by the Crown Prince after the King had bribed the Minister of Rites!
With his current capabilities, he is not able to compete with anyone in the imperial power!
And he does not want his plans to be ruined because of a mere Ye Qichi.
Killing intent was clearly evident in Xiao Jinxing's eyes.
Xiao Wu, having served the Prince for many years, knew by just one look what the Prince was thinking!
So at this moment, the fate of the Princess looked grim.
He thought, even as a ghost, the Princess would not let the Prince off the hook.
Xiao Wu was ready to throw the Princess off the horse directly; at this moment, they didn't even need to make a move. Leaving the Princess in this wilderness, she would undoubtedly die. Even if by a slim chance she didn't die, wild beasts roamed the area and she would become prey.
Xiao Jinxing was about to give the order.
Suddenly, echoes of Ye Qichi's words rang in his mind; she had said, "Are you interested in winning over my father?"
Thinking of the recent changes in Ye Qichi.
Completely different from the foolish, timid, and incompetent woman before!
So...
Could he trust Ye Qichi this time?!
Xiao Jinxing scrutinized Ye Qichi.
His eyes narrowed, "Bring her back first!"
Xiao Wu almost thought he had heard wrong.
Such a perfect opportunity, and the Prince wasn't going to kill the Princess?!
Killing the Princess now could clear him of all responsibilities. Using the incense earlier was also to find a good reason for the Princess to die convincingly.
"Don't just stand there, hurry up!" Xiao Jinxing's expression darkened.
Xiao Wu dared not say more.
He quickly spurred the carriage and hurried back to the manor.
Back on the road, Xiao Jinxing's other guards and Lu You caught up.
Lu You had been worried about the Princess the entire time; seeing the blood all over the carriage, she trembled with fear.
In that moment, she merely heard Xiao Wu commanding one of the guards, "The Prince has encountered an assassin's attempt on his life, and the Princess is critically injured while protecting him. Speed to the Imperial Palace and request the Imperial Physician to rush to our manor to treat her with utmost urgency!"
"At once!" The guard rode away at full speed.
Lu You stared directly at the carriage, overwhelmed with worry about how critically the Princess was injured...
She suddenly blacked out.
And fainted from shock.
Just as things were finally looking up, how could the Princess have an accident!
Lu You was carried on horseback, following the carriage back to the manor.
Xiao Wu, carrying the Prince, returned directly to Wan Courtyard, and one of the guards carried Ye Qichi into the room, placing her on Xiao Jinxing's large bed.
At this moment, Ye Qichi was still unconscious.
She looked even more frail.
"Prince, the Imperial Palace is a long journey from the manor, even with fast horses, it would take two hours. Perhaps the house doctor should treat the Princess's wounds now," Xiao Wu suggested.
"No need," Xiao Jinxing refused.
Xiao Wu was baffled again.
They had brought her back, why did the Prince suddenly change his decision?
"Let's see her fate!" Xiao Jinxing stated bluntly.
"..."
So the Prince sending the guard to the Imperial Palace for an Imperial Physician, wasn't to heal the Princess, but was he just trying to stall and let her die?!
Not only could it let the Princess die, but it would also spread the news of his assassination attempt within the Imperial Palace.
Brilliant!
It was truly brilliant!
Xiao Wu was thoroughly impressed.
It's a pity for the Princess, to die so unclearly and unjustly.
In the quiet room.
Ye Qichi had been in a comatose state all this while.
Xiaowu felt that perhaps he was already dead.
They were just waiting for the Imperial Physician to declare it.
After about an hour of waiting.
Suddenly, snoring sounds erupted in the room.
Xiaowu thought he was hallucinating.
Xiao Jinxing, seated under the soft couch of the sleeping chamber, was also stunned by the strangely familiar sound.
Both of them looked involuntarily towards the large bed, only to see the woman on the bed motionless, still in a coma.
No, to be precise, she was just in a deep sleep.
So...
She wasn't dead.

Was the Princess's luck too great?!
Xiaowu didn't know why, but he felt somewhat relieved at that moment.
He felt it would be a pity if the current Princess were to die.
It's rare to see someone who could make the Prince so furious, gritting his teeth yet helpless.
You should know.
Since he started following the Prince, he had never seen the Prince show any expression other than indifference.
Until he met the current Princess!
In the vast room, only the intermittent snoring of Ye Qichi continued endlessly.
Surprisingly, the Prince didn't wake her up this time despite her overly exaggerated snoring.
He just endured it until the Imperial Physician arrived.
Along with him came an Imperial Guard, who stepped forward and knelt down, "Prince, the Emperor summons you to the Imperial Palace."
"Now?"
"I will do my utmost to escort the Prince and ensure your safety."
That means.
No one else but him could follow.
Xiao Jinxing didn't hesitate, "Alright."
"Forgive my intrusion, my Prince." The guard moved forward, squatting in front of Xiao Jinxing.
Xiao Jinxing pressed down on the guard's back, and the guard then carried Xiao Jinxing away.
After Xiao Jinxing left.
Only Xiaowu and the Imperial Physician were left in the sleeping chamber, along with Ye Qichi, who was sound asleep.
The Imperial Physician quickly approached to examine Ye Qichi's wounds.
Upon inspecting the wounds, he frowned slightly and said, "It's not very serious."
The person who just came to report said it seemed the Princess was about to breathe her last.
Upon this examination, the wound wasn't deep, and the bleeding had stopped; a few days of rest should suffice for her to recover like a normal person.
"Take a closer look." Xiaowu felt now wasn't the time for him to check, pondering from behind the screen.
Just now, he clearly saw the wounds were messy and bleeding excessively—a frail woman couldn't possibly endure it.
"I've practiced medicine for many years, and can tell the extent of injuries at a glance. I will prescribe some topical medication for the Princess; she should recover almost completely within three days."
"Just three days?" Xiaowu was surprised.
The Imperial Physician felt somewhat annoyed.
He had been treating diseases for many years, and it was the first time someone doubted him like this.
He packed up his medicine box, stepping out from behind the screen.
"Are you done?" Xiaowu asked.
The Imperial Physician didn't even want to respond to Xiaowu.
He directly wrote a prescription, handed it to Xiaowu, and had someone send him away.
Xiaowu just stared, dumbfounded, as the Imperial Physician left.
Words were at the tip of his tongue, but he chose silence due to the loud snoring of the Princess.
So, was it he who was mistaken?!
