The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 908 - 492: An Luming Clarifies for Xiao Jinxing (Second Update)
In the main hall, Xiao Jinxing completed the punishment.
He said coldly, "Today’s events should serve as a warning to everyone. If it happens again, I will show no mercy!"
Everyone knelt on the ground, receiving the imperial decree.
Xiao Jinxing walked towards An Ning.
An Ning pursed her lips, seeing a long, slender hand placed in front of her.
It was clearly intended to help her up.
Yet it seemed to respect her.
Bai Mowan watched Xiao Jinxing’s gesture towards An Ning.
Tears streamed down her face, yet she held back, making no sound.
All the humiliation Xiao Jinxing gave her today, she was determined to return tenfold!
An Ning ultimately did not take Xiao Jinxing’s hand. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
She said, "It’s getting late, Your Majesty should rest early. Tomorrow there’s the morning court session."
Such an obvious rejection.
Xiao Jinxing lowered his gaze.
An Ning was still resisting him.
If Luming hadn’t returned to the palace today, these matters wouldn’t have occurred.
And Luming was injured because of it.
She wouldn’t forgive him just because he punished Bai Mowan.
To An Ning, all her discontent was brought by him.
Xiao Jinxing’s fingers twitched slightly as he withdrew his hand.
He turned to An Luming and said, "Today, I permit you to go back with your mother to Xiaoxiang Palace. Tomorrow morning, I will have someone bring you to the court session."
Saying this, Xiao Jinxing left first.
Once Xiao Jinxing left.
Everyone rose.
An Ning took An Luming’s hand and left Qiankun Hall without looking at Bai Mowan.
Even though Bai Mowan hated her to the extreme!
Ultimately, because of Xiao Jinxing, she was targeted by Bai Mowan.
Her originally carefree life was disrupted by Xiao Jinxing, and her future path would be filled with thorns, inevitably bloody!
An Ning took An Luming back to Xiaoxiang Palace.
Without telling An Youyou what happened when she left Xiaoxiang Palace, delaying for two hours to return, An Youyou was already asleep.
An Ning took out ointment to treat An Luming’s wounds.
Some marks on the face were left from Xiao Jinxing teaching An Luming martial arts, some were from fighting Xiao Yanqi today, luckily none were too serious; at least compared to Xiao Yanqi, they were insignificant.
An Ning carefully applied medicine to An Luming.
Unable to hide her heartache.
Bringing An Luming to the Imperial Palace for merely half a month resulted in so many injuries and today’s humiliation.
Even if eventually justice was served, it cast a shadow on An Luming’s young heart.
In An Luming’s world, he had never seen someone as bad as Xiao Yanqi.
She always wished for Luming and Youyou to live a free and simple life, instead of experiencing the most complex and cold-hearted human interactions in the Imperial Palace.
"Mother." An Luming sensed An Ning’s emotions.
Sensitive enough that even her careful disguise could be noticed by Luming.
"It doesn’t really hurt." An Luming reassured.
"Mm." An Ning responded.
The more considerate An Luming was to her, the more guilt she felt.
"In half a year, I will take you and your sister away," An Ning said resolutely.
"Okay." An Luming nodded quickly.
"After today, I will strive to prevent you from being wronged again," An Ning promised.
"I’m not wronged." An Luming said earnestly, "Today, my father and mother proved my innocence, I’m not only not wronged but feel happy! Although initially, when faced with Xiao Yanqi’s and Imperial Concubine’s strong arrogance, I didn’t know how to explain and felt angry. However, later you and father stood up for me, and they received their due punishment, which felt great. Also..."
An Luming suddenly hesitated.
An Ning looked at him, "What?"
An Luming’s face turned a bit red, he honestly said, "I felt my father was so majestic."
An Ning stared blankly at her son.
When An Luming said this, his big eyes clearly sparkled like stars, with admiration in his gaze.
She couldn’t help but say, "Luming, sometimes what we see on the surface is not necessarily the truth. More complex things are hidden in places we can’t see, requiring thought and speculation, and you’re still too young to understand. You’ll know when you grow up."
"Mother, do you hold a lot of dissatisfaction towards father?" An Luming asked.
An Ning pressed her lips.
She couldn’t hide much from An Luming.
At just four years old, so incredibly smart, primarily inheriting from Xiao Jinxing, or perhaps characters in novels are often glorified.
She confessed directly, "Yes, I am very dissatisfied with him, which is why I want to take you and Youyou away to stay away from him!"
"But father didn’t do anything wrong today, why does mother dislike him so much?" An Luming defended Xiao Jinxing.
An Ning frowned.
Xiao Jinxing truly was formidable.
In just half a month, he managed to win her son over.
She once worried An Luming might hurt Xiao Jinxing’s feelings, failing to feel the supposed father-son bond.
With Xiao Jinxing, she should never have doubted his abilities.
The male protagonist...is indeed almighty!
"Luming, I really don’t want to undermine Xiao Jinxing or make you biased against your father, but I truly don’t want you deceived by your father. I must admit, today Xiao Jinxing did many things that dissatisfied me. For instance, why did he use ways that might harm you to deal with Mo Kun and Bai Mowan? If Uncle Zhang had indeed helped you hit Xiao Yanqi, given today’s circumstances, you’d be carried back by me, not walking back. Furthermore, your father disregarded your physical wellbeing, having you fight Xiao Yanqi again, no matter if you could beat him, fighting ultimately results in injury, yet he resolutely chose this method to achieve his goals!" An Ning spoke increasingly with anger.
The more she thought, the angrier she became.
An Luming listened, stayed silent for a while, then explained, "Mother, that’s not true, father was confident enough to act that way. He wasn’t disregarding my health."
An Ning frowned.
An Luming and Xiao Jinxing were simply not on the same level.
He was sold out by Xiao Jinxing, yet still counting money on behalf of Xiao Jinxing.
"It’s true." An Luming saw An Ning’s skepticism and hurriedly said, "When we arrived at the palace, father instructed me that if anyone intentionally provoked me, I shouldn’t let Uncle Zhang intervene but resolve it myself, otherwise it would implicate Uncle Zhang. And father promised that if anything happened to me, he’d quickly come to save me, telling me not to be afraid. As for father having me fight Xiao Yanqi again, that was because father believed I could beat him. Ever since coming to the palace, father has been teaching me martial arts; though I got some bruises, my martial arts have improved significantly, Xiao Yanqi is simply not my opponent!"
