The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 822 - 406: Xiao Jinxing’s Five Years (First Update)
Yunxia Palace.
All palace attendants were dismissed.
Only Xiao Jinxing and Bai Mowan remained in the grand hall.
Bai Mowan gazed at Xiao Jinxing with deep affection.
Five years.
She waited for him for five years, it should be enough.
The guilt toward Ye Qichi should have ended long ago.
They should be together again.
Return to the beginning.
"Yes." After a moment of silence, Xiao Jinxing coldly uttered a single word.
One word was enough to make Bai Mowan crumble.
She anticipated so much.
She longed for him to reconcile with her.
Yet his coldness, even harshness, destroyed all her hopes.
Bai Mowan’s eyes turned red, tears filled her eyes.
Xiao Jinxing remained indifferent and silent.
Bai Mowan suddenly laughed.
Laughing, tears slid from her eyes.
She wouldn’t believe it.
That Xiao Jinxing had no feelings for her.
She wouldn’t believe that because of Ye Qichi, Xiao Jinxing no longer loved her.
She rose from the couch, holding his hand tightly.
Xiao Jinxing’s eyebrows seemed to furrow.
Before he could push her away.
Bai Mowan released him.
Xiao Jinxing looked at Bai Mowan with a somewhat surprised gaze.
Watching her cry with a smile.
Then she began to remove her clothes.
Tonight, Bai Mowan was dressed in white, light fabric underneath, and a layer of thin gauze on top.
After taking off the gauze, she revealed her slender, fragrant shoulders.
She prepared her attire specifically for Xiao Jinxing’s arrival tonight.
She wanted to end this nominal relationship and unite with Xiao Jinxing.
Even if her body was not pure anymore.
She didn’t think Xiao Jinxing would mind.
Xiao Jinxing would only feel sorry.
Sorry for all she had suffered.
She removed the gauze, then unfastened the thin layer of nightclothes underneath.
The moment the nightclothes fell.
Xiao Jinxing already turned around, back facing her.
Bai Mowan’s eyes turned red.
Even now, is he still rejecting?!
For five years, she respected him, knowing Ye Qichi’s death hit him hard, she never crossed the line, but now, she’s truly had enough, she doesn’t want this estranged life, she wants to be truly together with Xiao Jinxing.
Her bare arms wrapped around Xiao Jinxing’s body.
"Respect yourself." Xiao Jinxing’s icy words made Bai Mowan’s arms freeze in mid-air.
Xiao Jinxing stood right in front of her, within reach.
Yet she felt worlds apart.
No.
Xiao Jinxing was hers.
In a previous life, he should have been hers, it was because she met the wrong person that Xiao Jinxing died tragically, that she failed Xiao Jinxing’s deep love.
In this life, she wanted to make up for all the regrets with Xiao Jinxing, to love him with all her heart, she wouldn’t allow her deep affection to be buried, she wouldn’t believe what is lost is truly gone, since heaven gave her a second chance, those that should be hers, must be hers.
She clenched her teeth.
Even knowing Xiao Jinxing’s current rejection, she embraced him regardless.
But just as she touched his body.
Xiao Jinxing waved his hand.
Directly knocking Bai Mowan to the ground.
Without mercy.
Bai Mowan was utterly crushed.
She had gone to these lengths, put aside all dignity for Xiao Jinxing, yet he was so heartless!
"Xiao Jinxing, why?! Five years, isn’t it enough?! To what extent must you push yourself for Ye Qichi, to what extent must you push us." Bai Mowan cried out.
Finally unable to bear it, she lost control and exploded.
"Back then you wanted to enter the palace, I explained everything." Xiao Jinxing still had his back to Bai Mowan.
Unable to see her heartbroken despair, unable to see her unbearable grief.
"Ha." Bai Mowan laughed.
A cold, bitter laugh.
Yes.
After Xiao Jinxing ascended the throne, he didn’t plan to let her into the palace.
She waited for him for half a year, yet received no word from him.
She knew Xiao Jinxing couldn’t let go of Ye Qichi.
It was his inability to let go that made him so cold to her.
But she believed that as long as she actively sought Xiao Jinxing, he wouldn’t let her go.
So she stood before Xiao Jinxing, candidly telling him she wanted to enter the palace, wanted to be by his side.
Xiao Jinxing refused.
Without hesitation.
He said, "I don’t need anyone’s company!"
Bai Mowan endured painfully, humbly saying, "Xiao Jinxing, I was defiled, regardless of whether I judged wrongly, but indeed during Daxuan Kingdom’s attack on Beimu Country, I lost my purity."
Xiao Jinxing was silent.
She finally saw a trace of guilt in Xiao Jinxing’s eyes.
"Because I was defiled, I conceived, to prevent the birth of a scoundrel’s child, I chose miscarriage, but due to severe injuries and weakness on the battlefield, miscarriage almost cost me my life, barely saved, but I could never conceive again."
Xiao Jinxing remained silent, not giving her any promise.
Even though she suffered so much, he still wouldn’t let her stay by his side.
Until she said, "After enduring such a blow to my life, I once wanted to commit suicide, but because I still love you, I was willing to live and stay by your side. If you truly loathe my impure body, I won’t force it, and the only thing left for me is to leave this world. Perhaps it should have been me jumping from the city wall back then, not Ye Qichi. Then you wouldn’t be so pained, nor would I."
The moment she turned to leave.
Xiao Jinxing stopped her, "If entering the palace is your only choice besides death, then I will agree to let you enter, not because of your threat, but as a compensation, for sacrificing your purity for the battlefield leading to infertility. Further, there will be no other ties between us, so I no longer owe you anything. I also made it clear, after entering the palace, besides the position of Empress, any title is yours to choose, but I won’t favor you. If you can accept, enter the palace on your chosen day, if not, I’ll build a tomb for you."
Bai Mowan naturally chose to enter the palace. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
She always believed that Xiao Jinxing’s statement of not favoring her was just his mindset at the time, troubled by guilt because of Ye Qichi, thus spoke such cruel words.
Gradually forgetting over time, along with Xiao Jinxing ultimately being a man, he would have physical desires.
Even according to Daxuan Kingdom’s custom, every year new maidens were sent into the Imperial Palace, with her there, with the Bai Family Army’s support, no other maiden could receive the Emperor’s favor, when Xiao Jinxing desired, it would only be her.
She never imagined she would wait for him for five years.
Five years, Xiao Jinxing hadn’t stepped into the harem once.
Hadn’t favored her or anyone else.
She truly underestimated the impact Ye Qichi had on Xiao Jinxing.
And she had long endured enough of Ye Qichi’s influence on her!
