The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 818 - 402: Bring Her Back to the Palace, Wait for Her to Come (Second Update)
The men in black were all subdued.
But many of Xiao Jinxing’s trusted aides were also dead or injured.
Even two of his top Hidden Guards had died.
It was imaginable how skilled the mere eight men in black were in martial arts.
Xiao Jinxing held An Youyou, clearly not very calm.
Only then did he realize.
It turned out that the house servants in An’ning Mansion were so vulnerable because she had deployed all the top fighters to protect her pair of children. He had even been convinced by those useless house servants that An Ning was not Ye Qichi, because given Ye Qichi’s intelligence, it was impossible that she wouldn’t have some experts around to protect herself since she wasn’t skilled in martial arts.
Xiao Jinxing held An Youyou tighter and tighter.
Yet the trusted aides who pursued the young boy had not returned.
Xiao Wu was confused.
Because he hadn’t seen what the young boy looked like, all his attention was on the Emperor; at such a dangerous moment, he naturally couldn’t let the Emperor get the slightest bit hurt.
And when he noticed the Emperor’s gaze and the Emperor ordered someone to chase the others, he looked over only to see a white horse and the back of a man, seeing nothing else.
At this moment, Gu Xingchuan had also alighted from the carriage.
He hadn’t seen the young boy either, just somewhat curious about what exactly the Emperor had seen, staring in that direction so intently.
When he saw the child in the Emperor’s arms at that moment, he was clearly taken aback.
He recognized at first glance that this child was definitely Ning Ning’s daughter.
He was also a bit curious about how she could be here?! 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Why would she be targeted for assassination?!
At that moment, An Youyou naturally also saw Gu Xingchuan getting off the carriage.
Her eyes widened.
Could it be that handsome guys are always surrounded by other handsome guys?!
The person in front of her was also so handsome, handsome yet gentle.
His eyes seemed to be filled with stars, shining brightly and beautifully.
Her infatuated little face suddenly frowned.
"It hurts," An Youyou couldn’t help but cry out.
The handsome guy was holding her too tightly.
She felt like she was going to suffocate.
Gu Xingchuan seemed to notice how tightly Xiao Jinxing was holding the little girl, and he reminded him, "Your Majesty."
Xiao Jinxing came back to his senses.
Returning to his senses, at that very moment, he concealed the moisture in his eyes.
He loosened his grip.
"I want him to hold me," An Youyou proactively pointed at Gu Xingchuan.
Xiao Jinxing’s eyes flickered.
"I like him," An Youyou said sweetly with a smile to Gu Xingchuan.
Such an adorable gesture softened Gu Xingchuan’s heart too.
He extended his hand, "Your Majesty, allow me to..."
"No need," Xiao Jinxing directly refused.
An Youyou, not getting her wish, wrinkled her little nose in displeasure.
Gu Xingchuan frowned.
Feeling that the Emperor’s possessiveness seemed a bit too strong.
Was he still hung up on Ning Ning?
Hadn’t he clearly let go?!
On the desolate country road.
Who knows how much time passed.
A trusted aide came riding on horseback.
Injured all over.
Upon arrival, he directly fell off the horse, then quickly knelt on the ground and said urgently, "Your Majesty, I was unable to bring them back, and even the other guards who went with your servant were completely wiped out, it is only by chance that your servant managed to save a life."
Xiao Jinxing’s face darkened slightly.
Xiao Wu was also unsettled, "You were completely wiped out! There was only one person, wasn’t there?!"
The dignified Imperial Guards, top experts, went to capture one person, only to be completely wiped out in the end.
Leaving one half-dead?!
"It wasn’t just one person, there were a total of five people," the guard replied quickly.
"But you were at least fifteen!" Xiao Wu was still in disbelief.
"It was my incompetence; I am willing to die for my failure," the guard knelt on the ground, awaiting death.
Xiao Wu clenched his fists, and couldn’t help but say, "Your Majesty, should I take some men and go see..."
"There’s no need!" Xiao Jinxing immediately refused.
Xiao Wu looked at the Emperor.
He thought the Emperor clearly wanted to capture that person. After that person left, the Emperor’s gaze remained fixed in that direction, not blinking even once, with a strong sense of... expectation in his eyes!
Xiao Wu even believed that if the Emperor were not holding this little girl, afraid of losing her, he would have chased after, disregarding the danger.
With this being the case, why suddenly say there’s no need?
To give up so quickly was uncharacteristic of the Emperor.
"Return to the palace!" Xiao Jinxing suddenly ordered.
Amidst the chaos, without investigating further, he directly announced a return to the palace.
Xiao Wu was taken aback.
Gu Xingchuan also found the Emperor a bit strange at the moment.
"Then, what about her?" Xiao Wu looked at the little girl, at her innocent, naive, and cute look.
"Take her back to the palace," Xiao Jinxing stated bluntly.
"What?!" Xiao Wu’s eyes widened.
Taking someone else’s child, that probably wouldn’t be good.
Gu Xingchuan also furrowed his brow.
The Emperor’s actions were becoming increasingly baffling.
"Where are you taking me?" An Youyou clearly heard their conversation and asked, a little puzzled.
"To where you should be," Xiao Jinxing replied.
"Where I should be is my home," An Youyou said loudly.
She was also becoming a bit panicked and afraid.
She only wanted to sneak out of the house away from the guards to play, never thought she would really encounter kidnappers.
"Waaah..." An Youyou suddenly started crying.
Tears and snot, looking incredibly pitiful.
Xiao Jinxing frowned, "Don’t cry."
"You’re kidnapping me, how can I not cry? Waaah, my mommy will be heartbroken if she can’t see me, and my brother... waaah wah..." The more An Youyou cried, the more she sobbed.
Xiao Jinxing pressed his lips together.
To cry at a moment’s notice, and cry so earth-shatteringly.
Whose character did she resemble?!
"You will see your mommy, and you will see your brother too," Xiao Jinxing’s voice became gentle, "They will come to find you."
"Do you want money?" An Youyou blinked her tearful eyes and asked him.
"No."
"Then what do you want?"
"I want..." Your mommy.
Xiao Jinxing didn’t provide further explanation.
He directly took An Youyou onto the carriage.
Seeing that she really was being kidnapped, An Youyou cried even more heartbreakingly.
The entire carriage was filled with An Youyou’s heart-wrenching cries.
Xiao Wu and Gu Xingchuan watched the direction of the carriage, then glanced at each other.
So.
The Emperor, unable to get the mother of the child, resorted to using the child as leverage?!
It must be said that this method naturally worked.
After all, who could abandon their child?
Just.
Too sinister.
Moreover, he just said he gave up yesterday, yet acting like this today, the Emperor’s change of heart was faster than flipping through a book!
Gu Xingchuan returned to the carriage.
Xiao Wu also mounted to drive the carriage away.
"Xiao Wu," Xiao Jinxing suddenly called him again.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Inform her when you return that her child is with me, and if she wants to see her, tell her to come to the Imperial Palace to find me."
"..." Why did he have to be the one to play the bad guy?!
"If she doesn’t come, you needn’t return to Xun City," Xiao Jinxing commanded coldly.
"..." Why is it always me who suffers?!
