The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 876 - 460: Xiao Jinxing Drunk (Fifth Watch)
Gu Xingchuan chuckled lightly.
Even An Ning managed to make him laugh.
No matter how sorrowful his own emotions were.
As long as she laughed.
He could accompany her in laughter.
He said, "Do you think I’m that kind of person?"
"Who knows?! After all, you are now second only to the Emperor, and how many people in Daxuan Kingdom have such power as you?" An Ning said deliberately.
Gu Xingchuan smiled.
And said no more.
He understood An Ning’s thoughts too well.
He knew very well that she truly didn’t want to hear anything about Xiao Jinxing right now.
Or rather, she didn’t want anyone to persuade her to reconcile with Xiao Jinxing.
She entered the Imperial Palace only because An Youyou had been taken back by the Emperor, and she could only come to take her away herself.
And she didn’t immediately reunite with him, thinking about leaving soon, not wanting him to get hurt.
In summary.
This time she returned without intending to stay long with the Emperor, naturally not wanting to hear anyone speak well of him.
But is it really just because of annoyance?!
Or is she afraid that she might be swayed...
Gu Xingchuan would always respect all her choices.
...
After the wedding banquet.
Xiao Jinxing and his entourage left.
Many friends and relatives also departed.
Of course, some close family members remained to eat for a few days before leaving.
On the carriage.
Xiao Jinxing drank some wine, his face a bit flushed.
Perhaps he was a little drunk.
When An Ning returned from the back garden to the wedding banquet, she saw several empty wine jugs in front of Xiao Jinxing, and he accepted all the toasts from the ministers.
He was leaning on the carriage, eyes closed, eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Anqi looked at Xiao Jinxing nervously, her little face full of worry; she whispered, "Father is drunk, he always feels uncomfortable every time."
"Does Father often get drunk?" An Youyou asked.
"Not often, but there are one or two days every month." Anqi thought and replied.
"Doesn’t he know to take hangover medicine when drunk?"
"It seems it doesn’t work."
"That’s because their medical skills aren’t good. Mommy can make excellent hangover medicine, guaranteed to cure instantly; after taking it, he won’t feel uncomfortable at all."
"Really?" Anqi was astonished.
She gazed expectantly at An Ning, as if wanting to immediately give Father the medicine.
An Ning never thought of making hangover medicine for Xiao Jinxing.
If he wants to drink, that’s his business.
"Really." Before An Ning could answer, An Youyou replied quickly, "Last time, I accidentally drank half a jar of homemade wine at home, almost drank myself to death. My mommy gave me some medicine and I was fine."
"You drank wine?" Anqi was astonished again.
An Youyou was only four years old.
"Almost got my butt whipped." An Youyou recalled with lingering fear, "Anqi sister, don’t sneak wine. Mommy’s spanking really hurts."
An Ning rarely paid attention to An Youyou.
Last time An Youyou sneaked a drink at home, she just lightly patted her butt twice, mainly punishing An Youyou for drinking most of the wine that An Ning had been reluctant to drink.
After all, An Youyou has a self-healing ability, so even if she drank wine, it wouldn’t have much impact on her body.
"Mommy, remember to make hangover medicine for Father when we return," An Youyou reminded uneasily.
An Ning didn’t agree.
Anqi’s black eyes gleamed with great anticipation, looking eagerly at An Ning.
An Ning couldn’t really refuse, she responded lightly, "Alright."
And didn’t notice that the person leaning on the carriage seemed to slightly lift the corners of his mouth.
Then it fell down again, lonely.
An Ning could be good to everyone.
Except, not to him.
The carriage arrived at the Imperial Palace, directly lodging in Qiankun Hall.
Xiao Jinxing was helped off the carriage by the Imperial Guard.
Under Anqi’s pleading gaze, An Ning accompanied Xiao Jinxing into the palace hall, and after Xiao Jinxing lay down on the bed, An Ning asked Eunuch Ping to bring ink and brush, wrote the formula for the hangover medicine, and instructed him, "Brew it exactly as I’ve written, no deviation."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Ping bowed respectfully.
He repeatedly instructed the Imperial Physician to personally brew it.
Turning back, he saw Her Majesty getting ready to leave.
"Your Majesty." Eunuch Ping stepped forward, "The Emperor doesn’t like taking medicine, please feed the Emperor before departing."
"If he doesn’t drink, he doesn’t drink." An Ning was speechless.
Such a grown person still needs someone to coax him to drink alcohol?!
"Then this servant can only go to invite Princess Anqi. Previously, when the Emperor refused medicine, it was Princess Anqi who stayed alongside him, and only then did the Emperor take it." Eunuch Ping was somewhat helpless.
An Ning simply glared at Eunuch Ping.
This eunuch is as cunning as Xiao Jinxing.
Seeing no response from Her Majesty, Eunuch Ping turned to leave, intending to invite Princess Anqi.
"Enough." An Ning called out to Eunuch Ping, "I’ll leave in a while."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Eunuch Ping was immensely grateful and knelt down on the ground.
An Ning paid him no mind and went straight to the soft couch on the side, then waited for the Imperial Physician to finish brewing the medicine.
Once started, finish to the end!
She just had a benevolent heart as a healer.
...
General Mansion.
Xie Ruotong was drunk.
Directly helped from the joyous banquet back to her bed.
Song Yanqing had been in the bridal chamber all along.
Fully aware of his own weak body, going out would inevitably require socializing and a few drinks might turn the wedding banquet into a funeral.
Thus he stayed honestly in the room waiting for Xie Ruotong.
Now, she was returning totally drunk.
He hurriedly stepped forward.
"Master, the General is drunk." Gong Jingyi, the Female Guard beside Xie Ruotong, quickly said.
"Leave it to me." Song Yanqing replied.
As soon as the words fell.
Xie Ruotong pushed Song Yanqing away.
Clearly drunk, her steps were wobbly.
Yet she had enough strength to shove Song Yanqing directly against the nearby table.
With a "thump."
It hurt a bit.
Song Yanqing endured.
"Your room is next door." Xie Ruotong threw out a sentence.
And laid down on the wedding bed.
Song Yanqing couldn’t help but laugh.
Even this drunk, she still remembered to tell him not to sleep on her bed.
Gong Jingyi settled Xie Ruotong, then turned to Song Yanqing, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Song Yanqing smiled faintly, appearing unconcerned.
He left the bridal chamber.
Walking out the door, he didn’t really leave.
Instead, waiting for the servants to bring in water for Xie Ruotong.
Drunk as she was, it was necessary to help wipe her body a bit.
Seeing the servant carrying a bucket of hot water.
Song Yanqing said, "Let me do it."
"But, Master..."
Song Yanqing had already taken the bucket from the servant.
As he took it, he paused.
Unexpectedly, it was quite heavy.
Song Yanqing gritted his teeth and carried the hot water bucket inside.
By now, Gong Jingyi had removed Xie Ruotong’s red wedding dress.
Turning to prepare to wipe the General’s body with a hot towel, she saw the Master appear again, struggling immensely holding the bucket.
Gong Jingyi hurried over to help, easily taking the bucket over.
Song Yanqing was somewhat... embarrassed.
"Master..."
"I’ll do it, you can go." Song Yanqing lowered his voice.
By now, Xie Ruotong should be sound asleep.
