The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 853 - 437: Reuniting with An Youyou (Second Update)
An Ning’s face turned dark.
She was overthinking.
An Youyou, this carefree little brat, just needed food and fun to be completely content.
It was a pity that after An Youyou was taken by Xiao Jinxing, An Luming felt immensely guilty, and if not for her persuasion, An Luming would have followed her here to bring her sister back.
She naturally couldn’t allow that.
It wasn’t easy to take An Youyou away, how could she hand over free gifts to Xiao Jinxing?
"An Youyou!" An Ning called out to the little girl grabbing chicken wings with her chubby hands.
An Youyou paused.
Because she was facing away from An Ning, she thought she might be imagining things.
"An Youyou!"
Another familiar voice called out.
An Youyou quickly turned her head.
As she turned, she truly saw her mommy.
At that moment, her mommy was staring at her seriously, at the large chicken wing in her hand.
An Ning suddenly smiled.
Good.
Not only did she not lose weight, she probably gained a few pounds.
An Youyou was so startled that the chicken wing in her hand shook and fell to the ground.
The next moment, she quickly got up from the soft couch, her little short legs stepping forward, and hugged An Ning with her chubby oily hands.
"Mommy, you finally came, did you come to take me home?!" An Youyou excitedly shouted at her.
It was evident that she was genuinely happy.
An Ning was still a bit angry.
Thinking about her being taken by Xiao Jinxing, there was still some worry.
But unexpectedly, this girl was living better than she had imagined.
Now being hugged by her like this.
The anger seemed to dissipate by more than half.
"Mommy, I missed you so much, I thought of you every day, I missed you so much I couldn’t eat or drink." An Youyou clung tightly to An Ning’s leg, looking pitifully aggrieved.
The first few sentences, An Ning believed.
But the part about not being able to eat or drink, not so much.
An Ning squatted down and pushed An Youyou away.
An Youyou looked up at An Ning with teary big eyes, "Mommy."
"Are you doing well here?" An Ning asked.
"Not well." An Youyou shook her head quickly, "That bad big handsome guy insists on making me his daughter, making me a little princess. I only agreed to save my life. I’ve been waiting for you to take me home, I want to be with you and brother."
"Really?" An Ning raised an eyebrow.
She was probing to see if her daughter had been won over by Xiao Jinxing.
Not that she suspected An Youyou; she just didn’t trust Xiao Jinxing.
Xiao Jinxing was too scheming, and An Youyou was only four years old, no match for him.
"Really." An Youyou said seriously.
"Will you listen to me from now on?" An Ning’s expression was stern.
"Youyou will definitely be good and listen from now on, and won’t run off again." An Youyou looked genuinely remorseful.
She appeared so pitiful that it was hard to scold her even once.
"Go wash your hands and face, and stop eating chicken wings." An Ning instructed.
"..." An Youyou’s big eyes stared round at An Ning.
An Ning raised an eyebrow.
An Youyou knew she was reliant on others now, what if she disobeyed and her mommy just left her and walked away?!
Even though it was nice here.
The food was available, and the clothes too.
But being watched every day, learning this and that, was driving her crazy.
It wasn’t as fun as dissecting corpses.
"Okay." An Youyou reluctantly nodded.
Thinking to herself that mother and daughter reunions are supposed to be tearful and emotional.
Her mommy was unexpectedly indifferent.
If it weren’t for sharing the same face as her mommy, she’d doubt she was even her real daughter!
An Youyou had the palace attendants take the delicious chicken wings away and then had them wipe her face and little chubby hands.
After finishing everything.
An Youyou obediently walked back to An Ning’s side and asked, "Mommy, when are we leaving?"
An Ning also wanted to know.
When could she leave?
Yesterday when she arrived in Xun City, Xiao Jinxing naturally knew of her arrival.
Yet up until this moment today, Xiao Jinxing hadn’t shown up.
How was she supposed to negotiate with him?!
"Youyou, I have something to ask you." An Ning’s expression was serious.
"Okay."
"Did Xiao Jinxing find out that you can regenerate yourself?" An Ning asked.
She was clinging to a sliver of hope.
If he didn’t know, she could deceive Xiao Jinxing that An Youyou wasn’t his biological daughter.
After all, they didn’t look alike.
Even if Xiao Jinxing suspected, he had no proof.
"You mean the bad big handsome guy?"
"Yes."
"He found out." An Youyou said frankly, "He realized quite early on. Afterward, he was both crying and laughing at me, almost scaring me to death."
As she spoke, An Youyou gestured animatedly about the scene from that day.
An Ning took a deep breath, adjusting her emotions.
She knew An Youyou was a handful.
"Mommy, are you mad?" An Youyou asked.
"I’m not mad." An Ning said through gritted teeth.
Why get angry with a four-year-old.
Getting mad would lead nowhere good.
"How did you get hurt?" An Ning asked after holding back.
An Youyou animatedly recounted the day Bai Mowan came to her side to pick a fight and how she retaliated against Bai Mowan, telling An Ning every detail.
After finishing, she smiled triumphantly, "Mommy, wasn’t I great? I didn’t let anyone bully me."
"..." You sure know how to stir up trouble.
"Mommy..."
"Madam." At this time, a palace maid came forward respectfully, "Madam, Lord Song requests an audience."
"Lord Song? Song Yanqing?" An Ning asked.
"Yes." The Palace Attendant quickly replied, "Lord Song comes daily to tutor the little princess, but recently, Lord Song took two days off for personal matters. Today, he should be here to invite Princess Youyou to Princess Anqi’s side for lessons together."
An Ning nodded and replied, "Let him in."
"Yes."
Not long after.
Song Yanqing came in from outside the chamber.
Song Yanqing was even more slight than when she saw him five years ago at the border.
The crucial point was, she didn’t know what happened to his face, it was bruised and battered.
Almost unrecognizable.
And An Ning’s current appearance also didn’t make Song Yanqing recognize her.
He was internally speculating if this was really the Empress?!
How could she look so different?
But her expression and vibe were unmistakably familiar.
And if she wasn’t the Empress.
How could His Majesty treat an ordinary woman this way?
After confirming in his mind.
Song Yanqing knelt down and bowed, "Vassal greets the Empress."
As soon as he spoke.
The palace attendants on the hall were shocked.
What Empress...
Was the Emperor planning to crown a common woman as Empress?
Otherwise, why would Song the Scholar address her like that?
Song the Scholar was someone close to the Emperor, he understood the Emperor’s thoughts the best.
"You all leave for now." An Ning didn’t explain anything.
She knew the palace staff had tight lips.
They wouldn’t dare speak recklessly about anything they heard.
The palace attendants all saluted and left.
For a moment, only An Ning, An Youyou, and Song Yanqing were left in the main hall.
An Ning asked directly, "You know my identity?"
