The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 833 - 417: What Right Does He Have Left? (Part 2)
An Youyou was completely bewildered.
She saw the handsome guy in front of her, moved to tears then excitedly laughing.
This person seems to have intermittent mental issues!
But An Youyou dared not speak out, just enduring Xiao Jinxing’s odd personality.
Furthermore, that entire day, Xiao Jinxing was in her sleeping quarters.
He clearly said she should go to class, yet he sent Song Yanqing away and stayed with her.
An Youyou often saw Xiao Jinxing staring at her face without blinking.
Is her face really that adorable?!
So much that people love it?
She always thought that her brother looked definitely more handsome.
Never mind.
If he likes it, let him look.
Anyway, it won’t take a piece of her flesh.
An Youyou comforted herself while enduring Xiao Jinxing’s odd behavior, and finally, it was night, and An Youyou fell asleep.
Asleep.
Yet, Xiao Jinxing still wasn’t willing to leave.
He remained in her sleeping quarters, not departing.
Still gazing at her cheeks.
For what reason exactly?
She didn’t resemble him, nor Ye Qichi.
Instead, she resembled Ye Qichi’s disguised appearance now?
Thinking carefully, Ye Qichi’s personality changed dramatically one night five years ago, precisely after he first shared the room with Ye Qichi, and afterward, Ye Qichi changed.
Could it be, Ye Qichi’s childbirth brought yet another transformation in her life?
This time, changing her appearance?!
Xiao Jinxing felt a headache.
Many things seemed to exceed the scope of his knowledge.
Maybe.
Only Ye Qichi himself understands all of this.
Xiao Jinxing’s eyes narrowed slightly.
His fingers seemed to tremble a bit.
Every time he thought of Ye Qichi, his body and mind would be uncontrollably excited.
Ye Qichi.
How much longer until you come to me?!
...
After watching An Youyou fall asleep, Xiao Jinxing reluctantly left Xiaoxiang Palace.
Stepping out of the hall, he paused briefly.
Seeing Song Yanqing still waiting outside the doors, somewhat surprised, "What’s up?"
"I have a matter I wish to clarify with Your Majesty." Song Yanqing said respectfully.
"Speak."
"The self-healing ability of Princess Youyou..." Song Yanqing looked at Xiao Jinxing, "Is it inherited from Empress Hejing?"
When Bai Mowan left, Song Yanqing didn’t depart and witnessed the interaction between the Emperor and the Princess, perceiving the Princess’s extraordinary healing ability.
But Song Yanqing didn’t voice out, clearly seeing the Emperor’s excitement.
Now, after the Emperor had calmed down, he wanted to confirm it.
Xiao Jinxing chuckled.
Having someone as smart as Song Yanqing leaving the Imperial Palace and leaving him was indeed a pity.
He straightforwardly said, "It’s as you think."
"But..." Song Yanqing seemed a bit unsettled, "I personally saw Empress Hejing’s remains, and also saw Prince Chu’s Jade Pendant on the remains, there’s no mistake..."
"Many things, I am unaware of too." Xiao Jinxing didn’t hide from Song Yanqing, "All will have to wait until she returns."
"Will the Empress return?" Song Yanqing asked.
He suspected long ago that the Empress didn’t like the palace life.
She yearned for freedom.
Otherwise, considering she’s alive, why not return to the palace?
Knowing the Emperor always awaited her.
"Her daughter is here." Xiao Jinxing said, his lips unconsciously curving into a delightful smile.
A joy that couldn’t be concealed.
Thinking of Ye Qichi giving him a pair of children.
Their biological, children.
The feeling of bloodline connection and profound emotional satisfaction made him at a loss for words to express it.
Simply felt, very happy.
Never felt such, a kind of happiness.
Unexpectedly, it descended from the heavens.
"You are wise, Your Majesty." Song Yanqing instantly understood.
"It’s late, go rest early." Xiao Jinxing waved.
"I’ll take my leave, Your Majesty."
"Wait." Xiao Jinxing suddenly remembered something, "Don’t inform Gu Xingchuan first."
Song Yanqing was puzzled.
"Just don’t mention it." Xiao Jinxing instructed.
"As you command, Your Majesty." Song Yanqing roughly guessed the Emperor was somewhat cautious of Gu Xingchuan.
After all, the Empress’s feelings for Gu Xingchuan were perhaps deeper than for the Emperor.
"Also don’t tell Xie Ruotong." Xiao Jinxing added thinking ahead, "If Xie Ruotong knows, Gu Xingchuan will find out."
"Understood." Song Yanqing knew about the relationship between Gu Xingchuan and Xie Ruotong.
Once, he thought Gu Xingchuan and Xie Ruotong might grow closer over time.
But in five years, it seems nothing ignited between them.
Gu Xingchuan couldn’t forget Ye Qichi.
Xie Ruotong couldn’t forget Lin Qianyu.
"Furthermore." Xiao Jinxing was in an exceptionally good mood today, so he indulged Song Yanqing with a few extra words, "My intention in granting Xie Ruotong the marriage was to match you two, previously I also let Gu Xingchuan persuade Xie Ruotong, but Xie Ruotong’s attitude is firm, Gu Xingchuan advised me not to intervene between you and her."
"Appreciate Your Majesty’s generosity. I know I’m unworthy of General Xie, please don’t make it difficult for General Xie." Song Yanqing pleaded.
"I naturally won’t force Xie Ruotong, I simply wish to remind you, outsiders can’t aid much in matters of the heart, it relies solely on you. If you still hold feelings for Xie Ruotong, take initiative, if you don’t say it, no one knows who you love, you don’t speak, and Xie Ruotong will never know you’re waiting for her." Xiao Jinxing advised, "These days I arranged for people to introduce Xie Ruotong to prospects, you’re among them, I hope you, show some courage."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Song Yanqing was truly grateful.
Xiao Jinxing didn’t say more, walking past Song Yanqing.
"I respectfully see Your Majesty off."
Song Yanqing bowed deeply to see the Emperor off, only standing after he left.
Then, his expression turned somber.
The Emperor urged him to be brave, but what right does he have to be brave?
He inflicted extreme hurt on her, inadvertently causing Lin Qianyu’s death, with such an ugly scar on his face, how could he be courageous?!
Song Yanqing left the palace.
Mysteriously arriving at General Xie’s Mansion.
Xie Ruotong would reside here upon returning to Xun City.
Alone, with a group of house servants.
He heard that the Duke repeatedly encouraged her to return to the Duke Mansion, but she consistently refused.
Song Yanqing knew Xie Ruotong simply didn’t wish to return, to avoid the poignant memories.
"Master." The Song Family’s driver couldn’t help calling him.
The spring night in Xun City was cold.
The master stood alone at the General Mansion’s doorstep, standing for at least two hours, neither entering nor departing.
The driver feared the master would catch a cold, given the master’s frail health, so he called out.
Song Yanqing snapped back to reality.
Returning to the carriage.
Even if he stood through the night, he lacked the courage to knock on her door.
