The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 928 - 512: The Wedding Xiao Jinxing Prepared (Second Update)
An Ning, with a calm expression, followed Xiao Jinxing into Fengqi Palace, walking through a long red corridor, observing the festive decorations all around, step by step, reaching the inner hall.
Inside the room, the most striking thing was that dreamlike, illusory large bed.
The canopy on the bed was made of red gauze, extremely beautiful.
The bed’s design differed from others in the palace, at least unlike the one in Xiaoxiang Palace where An Ning currently resided. The bed at Qingfeng Building looked identical, even the exaggerated designs were exactly the same.
An Ning lightly pressed her lips together.
Is Xiao Jinxing trying to cater to her aesthetic?
"Change clothes first," Xiao Jinxing whispered in An Ning’s ear.
An Ning turned her eyes towards Xiao Jinxing.
Xiao Jinxing’s face was like a peach blossom, with a slight smile in his eyes.
Completely different from the kingly figure just now in the grand hall.
Even though he was still dressed in the Dragon Robe, he didn’t seem as aggressive or domineering as before.
After Xiao Jinxing finished speaking.
He didn’t linger.
He first left the inner hall with some palace attendants.
The palace attendant next to An Ning respectfully stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, this servant will help you change clothes."
So.
Is the wedding night truly going to happen?
It’s not the first or second time with Xiao Jinxing.
But wasn’t it agreed, no forcing?
In fact, how much could Xiao Jinxing’s words be trusted?
On his turf, when did she ever have the ability to resist?
She nodded slightly.
The palace attendants carefully helped her remove the luxurious and cumbersome Empress Dress.
Then put on a set of red... wedding attire.
An Ning looked at her appearance in the mirror, looking at the Phoenix Crown and embroidered dress she wore.
What is Xiao Jinxing up to again?
"The Emperor arrives!"
A loud announcement came from the inner hall entrance.
An Ning stood up.
Turned to the entrance.
All the palace attendants knelt on the ground.
At the entrance, a young man in red appeared in front of her.
He was dressed in a red groom’s outfit with a silver crown, a jade pendant on his waist, his long hair lazily flowing. His fair cheeks, with perfectly sculpted features, were even more vibrant and dazzling against the red attire, strikingly beautiful at a glance. His gentle smile was like a spring breeze, soothing and heartfelt.
An Ning slightly lowered her eyes.
From the first time she saw Xiao Jinxing upon entering this book, when he was twenty, at the age of manhood, she never felt he had any youthful spirit.
She felt this person was cunning, with a mentality of at least seventy or eighty years old.
Having been in this book for 7 years now, Xiao Jinxing was twenty-seven, and for the first time, she saw a fresh, handsome, purely beautiful expression on his face.
Can people change?
Do they move with their heart?
An Ning looked at the pair of red boots stopping in front of her.
Then, those long, fair hands took her hand again, leading her step by step to the bed, then sitting on the edge of the bed.
In front of them were many palace attendants.
The table was already set with various wedding items.
So Xiao Jinxing was indeed giving her a wedding.
But really sitting on the bed, Xiao Jinxing didn’t order the palace attendants to execute the ceremony.
He said, "Today the Bai Family blocked your conferment ceremony, which I had anticipated."
So that’s why arrangements were made with Song Yanqing beforehand?
"You actually don’t need to explain to me," An Ning replied.
She could guess many things.
The ones she couldn’t, she didn’t want to ponder.
She would feel tired.
"Gu Xingchuan scolded me that day," Xiao Jinxing spoke in a calm tone, as if chatting about mundane matters, "He said, for me, just being alive is enough, as long as you’re alive. But for him, mutual trust is more important."
An Ning looked at Xiao Jinxing.
"So, I hope to gain your trust," Xiao Jinxing stated directly.
He wanted to tell her that he wanted her to know what he was doing, what his considerations were, hoping she could trust him again.
"You actually don’t need to mind what Gu Xingchuan says," An Ning said.
"Was he wrong?" Xiao Jinxing asked.
"Not wrong," An Ning shook her head, murmuring, "Just that trust depends on the person. Some people are worth trusting, if you can, trust. Some people aren’t worth it, no matter what they do or say, won’t trust."
"I belong to the latter," Xiao Jinxing didn’t question, but gave his own answer directly.
An Ning didn’t refute.
"But I don’t want to hide from you," Xiao Jinxing spoke again.
An Ning didn’t show much emotional fluctuation.
After all, Xiao Jinxing’s word was the deed.
He continued, "Today the Bai Family blocked your enthronement ceremony, I really didn’t intend to use your special body to spread rumors, because I didn’t know Bai Mowan was aware of your body’s self-healing ability."
"When I was kidnapped and taken to Muge City by Xiao Jinsen, I got injured, and at that time in prison, Bai Mowan saw," An Ning explained.
She didn’t know why she wanted to explain Xiao Jinxing’s doubts.
Perhaps she suddenly felt there was no need to be too tense with Xiao Jinxing.
After all, they were already sitting on the same bed.
If they couldn’t part peacefully, at least come together well first.
"Later I also guessed, it should have been in Muge City," Xiao Jinxing said lightly, "Was it very painful then?"
"I was fine," An Ning said nonchalantly, "Everyone knew the one you liked was Bai Mowan, so I was just a foil, they used Bai Mowan to get back at you."
That really was the most danger she had faced since entering the book, along with Bai Mowan, Bai Mowan suffered more harm.
And this only happened because she wasn’t by Xiao Jinxing’s side.
"And Xiao Jinsen helped me a lot," An Ning added.
Xiao Jinxing’s fingers visibly trembled slightly.
Everyone treated An Ning well, only he kept pushing her into the fire pit.
Again and again.
"Let’s stop talking, it’s all in the past," An Ning truly felt many things weren’t necessary to tell Xiao Jinxing.
For someone without expectations, there’s no need to entrust too much.
"Hmm," Xiao Jinxing nodded.
Heavily nodded.
There was no way to go back to the past to make amends.
For the future, he would treat sincerely and genuinely.
Xiao Jinxing got back to the topic, "Bai Moyi and Bai Mowan teamed up to stop the conferment ceremony. I wanted to take this opportunity to verify the Bai Family’s prestige and status in the court, and you’re so smart you should know, I can’t just move against the Bai Family casually. So today, I didn’t punish Bai Moyi severely, for I knew the Bai Family has achieved high merit!"
As if explaining to her why he showed leniency to Bai Moyi today.
An Ning hadn’t intended to participate in the political affairs, so she lost her patience.
How he would deal with the Bai Family was his and his close ministers’, like Song Yanqing’s, business.
She didn’t want to care.
She suddenly thought, "So you gave me the conferment ceremony today, just to prove the Bai Family’s status in the court, so you can accurately judge how to handle the Bai Family, ensuring the stability of your regime and minimizing your loss?"
