The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 949 - 533: Going Out (Third Update)

An Ning frowned.

Why did it seem like there was something fishy in the eyes of this couple?

"It was I who came too early, disturbing the Empress’s rest," Song Yanqing suddenly spoke.

His words clearly held a hidden meaning.

"The Empress is unwell, please continue to rest for the sake of your health. My wife and I will come again in the afternoon," Song Yanqing added.

An Ning realized.

So Song Yanqing and Xie Ruotong thought her back pain was from doing something with Xiao Jinxing last night?!

She was speechless.

After officially becoming Xiao Jinxing’s Empress, their relationship was as innocent as a green onion. Sleeping on the same bed, they each minded their own space. If they really did anything, she might not feel this stiff.

"Song Yanqing, your thoughts are becoming less pure," An Ning explained, "Xiao Jinxing and I did nothing. The backache is from yesterday afternoon when Xiao Jinxing forced me to practice calligraphy."

"..." Song Yanqing was taken aback.

So the Emperor’s hobby is...

Song Yanqing’s face turned slightly red, not daring to think deeply.

"Rise," An Ning sat on the chair and called them.

Song Yanqing and Xie Ruotong stood from the floor.

"Sit."

The two of them each took a seat.

The servant poured them tea.

An Ning ordered the Palace Attendant to bring her medical kit to apply medicine to Song Yanqing.

Xie Ruotong quietly waited beside.

At this moment, because the Empress was applying medicine, she couldn’t help but glance at Song Yanqing’s face.

It was becoming less noticeable.

Will the scar on his face really completely disappear?!

An Ning applied the medicine and said, "The wound has basically healed; now it’s about restoration. For restoration, you don’t need to come to me every day. I prepared some ointment and solution and wrote a prescription. You just need to apply it morning and night according to my method."

"Thank you, Empress."

"Don’t be lazy. Not a single day can be missed. Restoration is more important than the previous healing, as it determines whether your facial skin can become completely uniform," An Ning said, then turned to Xie Ruotong, "Make sure to supervise."

Xie Ruotong withdrew her gaze and murmured, "But it’s his face."

"Yes, but you look at it the most."

"..." Xie Ruotong suddenly had no words.

An Ning gave the prepared items to Song Yanqing, then turned to Xie Ruotong and said, "Let’s take a walk in the garden."

"Alright," Xie Ruotong agreed immediately.

An Ning then led Xie Ruotong away.

As they left, she said to Song Yanqing, "If you’re bored, you can look for Xiao Jinxing; he’s reviewing memorials in the back courtyard."

"Yes," Song Yanqing replied respectfully.

Originally, the Emperor had sent word in advance, asking him to come to the Minister Mansion to meet with the Emperor alone, as there was something important to discuss.

It should be about the Bai Family!

...

In the back garden of the Minister Mansion.

An Ning asked the group of followers to withdraw.

Only An Ning and Xie Ruotong remained in the courtyard.

From afar, they heard some laughter.

An Ning explained, "That’s An Youyou. She’s quite lively."

"Her personality is like the Empress’s," Xie Ruotong commented frankly.

So even if An Youyou was annoying, she could only endure it.

She couldn’t possibly scold herself.

"Did the Empress summon me today for something?" Xie Ruotong asked sensitively.

"Sort of," An Ning admitted, "And it’s rare for me to leave the Imperial Palace, so I wanted to get together with you. Even though there’s no one really restricting me in the palace, it still feels like tiptoeing around."

"Yes, I understand," Xie Ruotong quickly responded.

Long ago, the Empress had mentioned she wanted to leave and roam around the world.

She would not while away her time in a luxurious cage.

"With me, there’s no need to be so formal; just refer to me as you and I, otherwise I’ll feel more stifled," An Ning said candidly.

"Alright," Xie Ruotong agreed immediately.

Her feelings towards the Empress were mostly emotional.

Deference and inferiority were just forms.

"I want to go out for a walk," An Ning suddenly said.

"Do you want me to take you out?" Xie Ruotong asked.

"I heard the Minister Mansion is tightly guarded inside and out, so not even a fly can escape," An Ning said somewhat helplessly.

"Yes," Xie Ruotong nodded.

She noticed this upon arrival, and it was only natural.

After all, the Emperor, Empress, and princes’ outings were naturally the highest configuration of the Daxuan Kingdom.

"How do you suggest I take you out? Disguise or break through forcefully?" Xie Ruotong asked.

"You’re overthinking," An Ning couldn’t help but laugh, "Who asked you to take risks for me?! Aren’t you afraid Xiao Jinxing will execute you?!"

"Not afraid. For you, I’ll do anything!" Xie Ruotong was resolute.

An Ning was moved.

She smiled, "So I can’t bear to see you die either."

"Then..."

"Of course, we’ll ask Xiao Jinxing for permission to go out," An Ning said, "With you accompanying me, he’ll be more at ease."

Xie Ruotong suddenly understood.

"Let’s go, we’ll see Xiao Jinxing first," An Ning decisively said.

"Yes."

An Ning led Xie Ruotong into the courtyard.

Song Yanqing was already with Xiao Jinxing, and they were discussing matters.

When they saw An Ning and Xie Ruotong appear.

As Xie Ruotong was preparing to bow.

"No need for formalities," Xiao Jinxing stated directly, "If the Empress has something to say, just say it."

An Ning frowned.

Suddenly, she felt he was a bit impatient with her. Clearly wanting to send her off early.

Which was fine.

An Ning didn’t mind and spoke openly, "I haven’t left the palace for quite some time now; I wish to go for a walk, I mean a stroll outside on the streets."

"Alright, I’ll arrange for that..."

"I want to go with Xie Ruotong," An Ning said.

Xiao Jinxing hesitated a bit.

"With Xie Ruotong by my side, her martial arts are exceptional, I won’t encounter any danger," An Ning said, "And if you’re worried I’ll take the opportunity to escape, Youyou and Luming are both in the Minister Mansion, I won’t take them with me."

Xiao Jinxing looked at An Ning, seeing the determination in her eyes.

Slowly, he said, "Come back early."

An Ning was slightly surprised.

She hadn’t expected Xiao Jinxing to agree so quickly.

The next moment, she hastily curtsied, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Then happily, she pulled Xie Ruotong away.

Her mood, indescribably joyous.

Xiao Jinxing watched An Ning’s retreating figure, a smile pulling at his mouth.

The feeling of liking someone is perhaps that... when she is happy, he can also, feel the same way.

Song Yanqing retracted his gaze from Xie Ruotong’s figure and turned to see the Emperor’s smile...

Xiao Jinxing naturally noticed Song Yanqing’s look. His expression turned serious, "Continue what we were discussing."

Song Yanqing promptly replied, "As the Emperor said earlier, the Bai Family didn’t succeed at the enthronement ceremony; they will certainly have other actions."

"So what do you think their first step would be?" Xiao Jinxing’s eyes narrowed.

His whole demeanor became instantly chilling!

Without the Empress, the Emperor seemed like a completely different person.
