The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 832 - 416: Confirming the Biological Daughter (First Update)
Bai Mowan’s face turned pale with anger.
She glared fiercely at Xiao Jinxing, enduring the fear of his authority and not daring to speak further.
She knew very well that with Xiao Jinxing’s temperament, if she resisted further, she would surely face the punishment he mentioned.
She couldn’t pinpoint when it began, but Xiao Jinxing no longer had the tolerance he once had for her.
And she didn’t know when it started either, that she no longer dared to provoke him recklessly.
But as a dignified Imperial Concubine, how could she really lose face like this?
To her, without an Empress, she was the mistress of the six palaces.
Even though the Emperor never set foot in the harem and showed no favor to any concubines, the harem was still under her control. She had her status and dignity. If now she was punished by Xiao Jinxing, how could she continue to stand in the harem in the future?
She couldn’t help but glare at An Youyou, watching her lie innocently in Xiao Jinxing’s arms, appearing so harmless.
Bai Mowan gritted her teeth in secrecy, ultimately choosing to endure.
After all, there’s always a next time!
She couldn’t believe she couldn’t defeat a little brat!
Today, it was just that she underestimated her opponent!
"Withdraw," Xiao Jinxing ordered Bai Mowan, seeing her silent and unwilling to waste more words on her, directly dismissing her.
Bai Mowan endured all the grievances she faced today, bowed, "This concubine takes her leave."
She turned to leave.
"Without my permission, the Imperial Concubine should not set foot in Xiaoxiang Palace again," Xiao Jinxing commanded.
Bai Mowan looked at Xiao Jinxing incredulously.
He actually placed her under house arrest.
"The Princess has just arrived at the Imperial Palace and knows nothing. If she unintentionally offends the Imperial Concubine again and causes today’s misunderstanding, it would be bad for both parties. And I am busy with affairs in the front court and have no energy to handle the harem’s matters. The best choice is for the Imperial Concubine not to come to the Princess’s residence again," Xiao Jinxing said coldly.
There was simply no room for refusal.
Bai Mowan suppressed her inner rage, keeping her pride as someone who once commanded armies. She spoke bluntly, "Since the Emperor feels that this concubine should not come, I shall never set foot in Xiaoxiang Palace again! But I must make one thing clear in advance; no matter what happens at Xiaoxiang Palace in the future, I will not go against what the Emperor said today. I hope the Emperor will not regret it or take it out on me!"
"What I say is as good as gold," Xiao Jinxing replied coldly. "But I must also make it clear: if anything happens to the Princess, I will investigate it to the end, without leniency!"
Bai Mowan could hear the warning in Xiao Jinxing’s words.
Warning her not to have any ill thoughts toward An Youyou!
"This concubine takes her leave!" Bai Mowan gave no further response and turned to leave.
Although she now had some fear of Xiao Jinxing, it was impossible for her to be overly deferential like ordinary concubines.
She had her pride since she was a child.
She had always been adored by all.
If it weren’t for Ye Qichi’s appearance, no one in the Daxuan Kingdom could compare to Bai Mowan!
Not only did she have captivating beauty, but she could also lead troops into battle, play the qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and aid in ruling the country.
It would be Xiao Jinxing’s greatest loss to lose her!
Bai Mowan left.
Qing Yan was dragged away to be beaten with rods.
Xiao Jinxing carefully placed An Youyou on the soft couch beside him and instructed the Palace Attendant, "Bring me the ointment for burns."
"Yes," the Palace Attendant quickly answered.
Xiao Jinxing picked up An Youyou’s small chubby hand.
Holding it up, his eyes suddenly paused.
Clearly, it had been red with a burn just now; how could it now be completely healed and look no different from her plump, fair skin?
"Where’s the burn on your hand?" Xiao Jinxing asked.
An Youyou looked at her hand, surprised at how quickly it had healed.
She knew that the old witch would accuse her of deliberately retaliating, so when she knocked over the teacup, she also let herself get a little burned. Although it hurt at the time, her body had a self-healing ability since she was young, making any injury heal quickly.
Minor injuries were really just a moment’s work.
"I was really burned just now, I didn’t lie to you," An Youyou hurriedly explained, fearing he would blame her for burning the old witch.
"I know, I saw it very clearly," Xiao Jinxing’s face remained serious.
God knows how tense he felt at this moment.
"I am asking you, why did the burn on your hand heal so fast?" Xiao Jinxing’s voice trembled as he spoke each word deliberately.
"My mommy told me not to tell anyone," An Youyou was hesitant.
Mommy said that no one else could know about this except her and her brother.
"Then I’ll ask, and you just answer yes or no," Xiao Jinxing suppressed his emotions and said patiently, "That way, you won’t be going against your mother’s words."
An Youyou hesitated for a moment, then obediently nodded.
"Do you have a self-healing ability? That is, no matter what kind of injury, you heal quickly without needing ointment?"
"Yes," An Youyou nodded.
Right now, she even thought the handsome man in front of her was so smart.
Receiving An Youyou’s affirmative answer, Xiao Jinxing’s heart trembled.
So.
An Youyou was Ye Qichi’s biological daughter, not adopted.
He only thought An Youyou didn’t resemble Ye Qichi or himself and therefore subjectively decided she wasn’t their biological daughter. Ye Qichi changed her appearance to make her look like An Youyou’s birth mother so he wouldn’t recognize her. He still couldn’t understand how Ye Qichi managed to change her face, but with Ye Qichi’s extraordinary medical skills, anything was possible, and there was no need to overthink it.
The sudden disappearance of Ye Qichi’s self-healing ability... Could it be because she gave birth to An Youyou, and then it was passed on to her, causing her own ability to vanish?
Thinking of this.
Xiao Jinxing truly understood everything.
Ye Qichi really gave birth to a pair of twins for him and paid a huge price for it.
Xiao Jinxing’s eyes reddened with emotion.
Looking at his biological daughter before him.
He had once regarded her as an adopted daughter.
His heart felt more apologetic toward her, even though he didn’t mistreat An Youyou, he still felt she had been wronged.
He couldn’t even recognize his own flesh and blood at first sight.
"What’s wrong with you?" An Youyou looked at Xiao Jinxing with wide eyes, bewildered by his demeanor.
Did she say something wrong?!
Why was the handsome man crying?
Xiao Jinxing suddenly pulled An Youyou tightly into his embrace.
An Youyou was taken aback.
What was happening?!
Why did the handsome man suddenly seem out of control?
"I’m sorry," Xiao Jinxing said in a low voice to An Youyou.
"..." An Youyou was even more bewildered, cautiously saying, "Um, my hand doesn’t hurt anymore."
Thinking he was apologizing for that, making her feel a bit guilty.
"In the future, father will never lose you again." Never again will he lose, our family.
