The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 882 - 466: Xiao Jinxing Appears (First Update)
Bai Mowan glared fiercely at An Ning.
In this moment, she was truly pushed to the extreme by An Ning.
She slapped herself hard four times without pause, "slap, slap, slap, slap."
Her face instantly turned red.
Even more exaggerated than the flush on An Ning’s face.
It seems she didn’t hold back at all.
She must be furious at herself for being driven to this point by An Ning, taking it out on herself.
Everyone in the hall was so frightened by Bai Mowan that they didn’t dare to breathe.
For so many years, when had the Imperial Concubine not held herself high and mighty, beyond reproach in the harem? Today, she was so humiliated by a concubine from the common folk that she ended up slapping herself!
Others bowed their heads, wishing they could disappear into the ground.
Afraid of becoming collateral damage.
"Is this enough?" Bai Mowan asked An Ning after hitting herself a few times.
An Ning smiled.
She said, "It’s enough."
An eye for an eye; she had no interest in taking advantage of others.
She tossed out that line and turned to leave.
"Ye Qichi!" Bai Mowan roared, "Aren’t you supposed to cure me?!"
"When did I ever say that?" An Ning looked at Bai Mowan and asked back.
"You did say, if I obtain your forgiveness, you will cure me! And you just answered me that it’s enough." Bai Mowan was shaking with anger, her voice full of clenched teeth.
"I only meant that for the two slaps you gave me today, I can forgive you. I never said that after forgiving you, I would help you heal. Bai Mowan, aren’t you being too presumptuous!"
"Ye Qichi!" Bai Mowan suppressed her body’s trembling, "Do you really want to force me to kill you?!"
"If I helped you heal, would you refrain from killing me then? No, you would still do it." An Ning looked at her coldly, exposing all her malicious intentions, "You are not treating me this way to thank me for saving your life in the past; you just want to gain the benefits you desire. Once you’ve gotten what you want, you’d find some way to avoid Xiao Jinxing’s scrutiny to kill me. If I were to grant your wish now, wouldn’t I be suffering a double loss?!"
"You..."
"You don’t need to deny it." An Ning looked at Bai Mowan’s anger with indifference, "What you did today made me truly see your true colors. I once overestimated you—had it not been for my favor, Bai Mowan, you would have been dead a dozen times over!"
"Have you said enough?!"
"Of course not." An Ning looked at her, "Since we’ve already torn each other’s faces, let’s put everything on the table! Originally, I didn’t care for the so-called Empress position, but seeing how much you want it, I’ll give it a try!"
"Do you think you can?!" Bai Mowan was full of hostility and threats, "Do you believe I can’t kill you now?!"
"You wouldn’t dare." An Ning laughed, "Otherwise, why would I come here?!"
"Don’t push me!"
"Whether I push you or not, the result is the same. But even so, even though you hate me to death now and might kill me eventually, it’s not going to be now. To kill me, you must avoid Xiao Jinxing’s sight, not brazenly attack me under his nose. You wouldn’t dare; you wouldn’t dare risk the entire Bai Family for my life!" An Ning laid out all of Bai Mowan’s hidden thoughts.
Bai Mowan appeared utterly sinister and terrifying.
Her once delicate features now twisted with rage.
Ye Qichi could truly exploit her every weakness, making her feel utterly powerless before Ye Qichi.
"Bai Mowan, the two gravest mistakes you made today: One, slapping me twice—now even if I repay you, I’ve seen through your character, your motives, and my forgiveness is beyond retrieval. Even if you want to make amends, it’s futile..."
"So by making me slap myself, it’s just for your amusement?!" Bai Mowan was furious.
"No, it’s just the lesson you deserve from me as the true Master of the Harem."
"You!" Bai Mowan stuttered in anger.
If Ye Qichi really were still alive.
Ye Qichi would rightfully be the Empress of Daxuan Kingdom!
"The other mistake was not being prepared enough to kill me when you had the chance today." An Ning was indifferent to Bai Mowan’s current breakdown and said with a cold smile, "When I was unguarded, you should have avoided Xiao Jinxing’s surveillance and killed me to prevent future trouble, instead of merely stirring up the hornet’s nest with such a foolish act! Bai Mowan, having lived a rebirth, have you really not improved at all? Without Xiao Jinxing, you’re truly worthless!"
Bai Mowan was laid bare by Ye Qichi’s mockery.
And she couldn’t refute a single word of it.
Either she should have appeased Ye Qichi, using her to achieve her goals.
Or she should have eliminated Ye Qichi to prevent future trouble.
Instead, today she did the most foolish thing.
The threat Ye Qichi gave her, that slap would make her regret it for her entire life!
She had to admit, right now she truly regretted it desperately!
But in front of Ye Qichi, she wouldn’t show weakness.
She wouldn’t let Ye Qichi ride over her; she made a ruthless vow, "Ye Qichi, do you really think I can’t beat you? Today, I might not kill you, but I’ll ensure you won’t have a grave to lie dead in!" Bai Mowan vowed fiercely!
"If you don’t kill me today, you’ll never be able to kill me!" An Ning tossed out that statement.
No more words.
To Bai Mowan, sometimes pride and dignity might be more important than her life.
Forcing Bai Mowan to loathe her own foolishness was enough to unravel her mind.
She turned to leave again.
So recklessly and unrestrainedly, she walked out of Yunxia Palace under Bai Mowan’s gaze.
Bai Mowan could only watch her figure, the person she desperately wanted to kill, leave so brazenly, yet she couldn’t do anything about it.
"The Emperor is here!"
A tightly drawn, suffocatingly oppressive atmosphere.
Suddenly filled with a loud heralding voice.
An Ning’s heart tightened.
She never intended for her grievances with Bai Mowan to involve Xiao Jinxing.
She didn’t believe Xiao Jinxing would treat this matter fairly.
Too many interactions not worth trusting.
Bai Mowan’s heart panicked when she heard the announcement.
She hadn’t expected Xiao Jinxing to come.
All those words she said to An Ning earlier were entirely to deceive her.
Xiao Jinxing never set foot in the harem, so naturally, there shouldn’t be any surveillance there.
How could he learn so quickly that An Ning was with her?
And she didn’t know who Xiao Jinxing was here for now?!
An Ning and Bai Mowan each harbored their own thoughts.
Then they saw Xiao Jinxing stride in from outside the hall confidently.
Not a hint of the haze from earlier drunkenness, his eyes carried a commanding sharpness entitled to rule the world!
