The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 894 - 478: Hatred (Third Update)

An Ning dragged An Luming through the Imperial Palace, heading towards Xiaoxiang Palace.

There was a smoldering fury in her heart.

She couldn’t let Xiao Jinxing extend his claws toward children.

It’s simply deranged.

"Mother." An Luming furrowed his tiny brows, unable to resist calling out to her.

"Hmm?"

"It hurts a bit." An Luming moved his little wrist.

An Ning then realized she had held on too tightly due to her anger.

She quickly relaxed her grip a bit.

An Luming looked at her, "Mother, are you upset because I am practicing martial arts and studying with Father?"

"What does he say to you usually?" An Ning didn’t answer directly but asked back.

"Not much." An Luming thought for a moment and added, "Except for some key points needed for martial arts and lessons, he rarely speaks to me otherwise."

"Really?" An Ning was skeptical.

He hasn’t been brainwashing An Luming?!

"Really." An Luming said, "The first night I went to his place, he even helped me bathe and scrub my back, but never did it again after that."

So Xiao Jinxing really did nothing?!

Didn’t do anything, and An Luming spoke up for him!

"Mother, do you hate Father because you think he’s ugly?" An Luming asked again.

"What?" An Ning was completely dumbfounded.

When had she ever said Xiao Jinxing was ugly?

She wasn’t blind.

Just as An Ning was about to explain.

"Mommy!" From a distance, An Youyou came running with her little legs.

Following behind were the eunuch and palace maids, unable to keep up.

Anqi, out of breath, was also trying and failing to keep pace with An Youyou.

Only Zhang Wenhe was able to stay within arm’s reach behind An Youyou, ready to catch her if she fell.

"I told you not to run around the Imperial Palace." An Ning couldn’t help but chastise.

The Imperial Harem was almost turned upside down by An Youyou’s antics.

However, as An Youyou was Xiao Jinxing’s favorite, no one dared say a word, and the harem’s concubines would automatically avoid her, turning her into a little tyrant of the harem.

"I miss brother too." An Youyou’s face was flushed, "Father is so bad, hogging brother all to himself."

Saying this, she gave An Luming a bear hug.

An Luming showed some disdain.

After running, An Youyou was sweaty, and An Luming was a bit of a clean freak.

But fearing he’d upset his little sister, he endured, his little face twisted.

Anqi finally caught up, properly paid respects to An Ning, and then turned to look at the scene between An Luming and An Youyou.

Seeing An Luming’s disdainful look...

Anqi couldn’t help but smile.

With the addition of a younger brother and sister in the palace, it has become so lively.

An Luming naturally also saw Anqi at that moment.

Seeing Anqi’s slightly flushed cheeks from chasing An Youyou, she was smiling brightly...

Anqi sensed An Luming’s gaze and looked back at him.

Although An Luming had been in the palace for over half a month, she hadn’t really seen him often nor spoken to him much. She very much wanted to get close to him, just like she was with Youyou, like family. Seeing An Luming look at her, she hurriedly showed a friendly smile.

Only for An Luming to turn his head away at that instant.

Anqi felt a bit awkward.

This younger brother seemed to not like her much.

But Anqi didn’t get angry. As long as it was the Empress’s child, she would be very kind to him.

He didn’t like her now because they hadn’t spent much time together; he would eventually.

"Mother." Anqi set aside her thoughts and respectfully said, "The tutor is waiting for you in Xiaoxiang Palace."

"Alright, let’s go." An Ning led everyone away.

The group, grand and lively, left amidst laughter and chatter.

In the distance.

A little boy looked unhappily in their direction, at the boy who looked exactly like his father, "Is he the new Prince?!"

"Yes, Your Highness." The eunuch by his side promptly replied.

Xiao Yanqi’s little face was full of displeasure.

He had heard that since An Luming came to the palace, he had been by the Emperor’s side day and night, and the Emperor valued him greatly. If this continued, he wouldn’t be able to become Emperor in the future!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

Xiao Yanqi even clenched his fists.

Before, when his mother mentioned An Ning and talked about An Youyou, he didn’t think much of it.

They were just women; what capabilities could they have?

But now, suddenly there’s an An Luming, wanting to steal everything that belongs to him, he wouldn’t let it rest.

"Your Highness." A eunuch hurried over, "The Imperial Concubine asks you to go to Yunxia Palace."

Xiao Yanqi, still angry, followed the eunuch.

Upon entering Yunxia Palace.

"Kneel before me!" Bai Mowan suddenly shouted, raging.

Xiao Yanqi was so frightened that he quickly knelt.

He was usually arrogant and domineering in the harem, but the only person he feared was his mother.

"Where have you been when you were supposed to be studying?!" Bai Mowan was seething with anger.

Seeing An Luming quietly by Xiao Jinxing’s side studying made her furious. After leaving Xiao Jinxing, she wanted to check on Xiao Yanqi’s study progress, only to hear from the Imperial Tutor that Xiao Yanqi hadn’t attended class for two days.

Upon hearing this, she almost fainted from rage.

Already losing ground before Ye Qichi, Xiao Yanqi being so unambitious made it worse!

"Mother, I was just a bit tired, so I was walking around the harem. I’ll return to class immediately."

"Enough!" Bai Mowan wasn’t listening to Xiao Yanqi’s excuses, "At this rate, you’ll be cast out of the palace sooner or later."

Xiao Yanqi didn’t dare talk back.

"Xiao Yanqi, you’ve really let me down! Do you know today when I went to see your father, I saw how well-behaved and attentive An Luming was, studying by your father’s side!? You were born in the palace and enjoyed the best since you were little, yet now you can’t even measure up to a mere commoner’s child. What use do I have for you?!"

"Mother, I am only..." Xiao Yanqi tried to explain.

"Go study!" Bai Mowan wouldn’t listen to a word. Looking at Xiao Yanqi’s lack of achievement left her emotionless, "If I catch you slacking off again, I’ll be sure to teach you a lesson!"

Xiao Yanqi didn’t dare stand up to Bai Mowan.

He kowtowed and retreated.

After leaving, his little face was filled with hostility.

It’s all An Luming’s fault!

If it weren’t for him, his mother wouldn’t have scolded him!

He would make sure An Luming suffered!
