The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 806 - 390: The Woman Who Brings Misfortune to Her Husband (Fifth Update)
An Ning still followed Xiao Jinxing onto the carriage.
"Have you had breakfast?" Xiao Jinxing asked.
"Thank you for your concern, sir. I have eaten," An Ning said distantly.
Even if she hadn’t eaten, she didn’t want to eat with him.
"Xiao Wu," Xiao Jinxing said to the outside of the carriage, "let’s go to An Tea House for breakfast."
"Yes," Xiao Wu drove the carriage, respectfully.
An Ning turned her eyes to look at Xiao Jinxing.
"I haven’t eaten," Xiao Jinxing explained.
An Ning chose to remain silent.
The carriage arrived at An Tea House.
The three of them went inside for breakfast.
The shopkeeper and even the waiter at An Tea House did not recognize An Ning, knowing only Yan Jinyao.
At this moment, the waiter looked at An Ning.
Clearly captivated by her beauty for a moment.
His eyes fixed on her.
An Ning indeed rarely wandered around the streets.
The main reason being, everything she needed was available at her command, without effort.
She spent more time cultivating her mind at Qingfeng Building or conducting surgeries and experiments at home.
Occasionally having An Youyou observe or assist.
Xiao Jinxing noticed the waiter’s gaze.
His face darkened, directly blocking the waiter’s sight.
The waiter returned to his senses, hurriedly asking, "What would you like to eat, distinguished guests?"
Xiao Wu was about to request the signature breakfast.
Just then, the emperor asked the Divine Doctor, "Any recommendations?"
An Ning unwillingly complied.
"Almond cookies, pineapple cake, glutinous rice roll, sesame porridge, soy milk, fried dough sticks." An Ning finished, smiled at the waiter, "Just these."
The waiter blushed from An Ning’s smile.
After a moment, he hurriedly and respectfully said, "Yes, I’ll bring it right away."
The waiter left.
Xiao Jinxing gave Xiao Wu a glance.
Xiao Wu was helpless. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
He made an excuse to visit the restroom, then left as well.
When he returned.
Just in time for the waiter to serve breakfast.
An Ning looked at the waiter, who seemed about to cry. "What happened to your face?"
In such a short while.
How did it become bruised and swollen?
"I slipped accidentally," said the waiter, daring not to look at An Ning.
An Ning frowned.
How skilled must one be to fall like this?!
"Let’s eat." Xiao Jinxing directly blocked An Ning’s view, preventing her from looking at the waiter any further.
An Ning withdrew her gaze and didn’t probe further.
The three ate breakfast.
Xiao Wu couldn’t help but remark, "This is better than... home-cooked."
The Imperial Palace was substituted with home.
"Hmm," Xiao Jinxing agreed, acknowledging silently.
An Ning didn’t respond, focused on eating.
By noon, the tea house was bustling with people.
Some came for tea, chatting, and snacks.
Others came for a game of cards.
Some arrived to watch performances and storytelling.
Right on cue.
A storyteller appeared on the stage.
After a brief introduction, he began telling stories.
"Last time, we talked about how Emperor Jingyan of Daxuan Kingdom gave the troops of Beimu Country a thrashing, this time we’ll tell the love story everyone envies of Emperor Jingyan."
"Speaking of Emperor Jingyan, we must mention Bai Mowan, the daughter of the brave and battle-savvy General Bai of Daxuan Kingdom, and the current Imperial Concubine. Since childhood, she learned martial arts under General Bai, she is skilled and patriotically devoted."
"For Emperor Jingyan’s kingdom, she shed blood and risked her life at the harsh border, fighting the year Beimu’s Muge City fell. She courageously entered the enemy’s camp, single-handedly opening its gates, capturing Prince Mu Junze of Beimu and Daxuan’s traitor, Duke Chu..."
The storyteller spoke passionately.
The audience listened, applauding repeatedly.
An Ning listened with interest.
She had heard that stories at the tea house involved tales of Xiao Jinxing and Bai Mowan, not expecting them to be so exaggerated.
Though thinking about it.
It’s the winners who write history.
Praising the victors is only natural?!
An Ning remained composed.
Xiao Jinxing seemed less calm.
He turned his eyes to An Ning.
Watching her unchanged expression, with even a slight smile, seemingly interested in the storyteller’s tale.
He gave Xiao Wu a look.
Xiao Wu was enjoying his meal.
Although the story grated a bit.
It was entirely fabricated after all.
When the border city was seized, the Imperial Concubine nearly thwarted the emperor’s efforts.
How did she now become a hero?!
Xiao Wu put down his bowl and chopsticks and left.
Then.
The storyteller was taken away.
An Ning frowned.
Just as she was about to hear about Xiao Jinxing and Bai Mowan’s relationship development, it stopped?!
Leaving the audience yearning.
Not only did An Ning feel displeased.
The other patrons were naturally unhappy too, stirring a commotion in the hall.
An Ning was about to check on the situation when her hand was pulled, leading her away.
An Ning frowned.
"Xiao Wu will handle it," Xiao Jinxing straightforwardly said.
An Ning pursed her lips.
Choosing to endure.
Back in the carriage.
An Ning said, "Sir, you can let go now."
Xiao Jinxing seemed instinctively to tighten his grip a bit.
Slowly, he still released it.
They waited in the carriage for a moment.
Xiao Wu returned to the carriage, "Master, where to?!"
Could this be resolved so quickly?!
"To the lake," Xiao Jinxing stated directly.
An Ning was speechless.
Clearly knowing how to entertain oneself, right?
Did he need her to show the way?!
The carriage stopped by the lake.
Xiao Wu rented a boat.
Then, the three got on board.
Xiao Wu rowed.
Xiao Jinxing and An Ning sat at the back.
The March sun was just right on their bodies.
Not too cold or hot.
A gentle breeze brushed their faces, a moment of relaxation.
An Ning didn’t feel quite at ease.
She looked at the fragmented sunlight sparkling on the lake, wishing time would speed up, so she could finish the lake outing and return soon.
Xiao Jinxing’s sight was always on An Ning.
Observing her "unfamiliar" face.
"I heard you have a child," Xiao Jinxing suddenly said.
Remembering the little girl’s face.
It was just like hers.
Was her disguise because of the girl’s appearance?
An Ning looked back, "Yes."
Also knowing An Youyou had met them.
"Your biological child?" Xiao Jinxing raised an eyebrow.
"..." She also wished she had picked the child up, "Biological."
"What about your husband?" Xiao Jinxing asked.
"He’s dead," An Ning replied, speaking lightly.
Xiao Jinxing’s mouth twitched slightly.
"How did he die?" Xiao Jinxing calmed himself, continuing to ask.
"He was cursed by me," An Ning said bluntly.
Xiao Jinxing’s mouth twitched even more.
Xiao Wu at the front listened, suddenly choked, coughing aloud.
His heart admiring the Divine Doctor’s boldness.
So candid!
An Ning glanced at Xiao Wu, then turned back to Xiao Jinxing, saying, "A fortune-teller said my birth sign is too strong, and I curse my husband. Any man connected to me will have a short life!"
