The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 951 - 535: Revealing My Identity: In My World, Everyone Is Equal (Fifth Update)
An Ning listened to the housekeeper and directly walked towards the backyard of the medical center.
The housekeeper glanced over, just about to step forward to stop her.
"Together," Xie Ruotong said. "Don’t worry, leave it to us."
"Then I’ll leave it to General Xie." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Before the housekeeper’s words were finished, he saw two figures disappear before her eyes.
Xie Ruotong followed An Ning as they entered the backyard.
An Ning was naturally familiar with the place, having often come here after leaving Prince Chen’s Mansion.
Xie Ruotong noticed the anxiety in An Ning’s eyes...
She suddenly felt that An Ning might really not like the Emperor.
The two entered the inner room without hesitation or concern.
On the bed, Gu Xingchuan lay with his eyes closed, his face pale.
Hearing the footsteps, he said faintly, "I don’t want to eat or drink any medicine, everyone leave."
His voice was weak.
"So, you’re not eating or drinking, are you planning to become immortal?" An Ning walked directly to his bedside, looking at him.
Observing how the graceful gentleman had turned into such a despondent figure.
Gu Xingchuan never expected An Ning to appear, to suddenly show up by his bedside.
For a moment, he thought he was hallucinating.
He hurriedly tried to sit up from the bed.
Having not eaten or drunk much, he was utterly devoid of strength at that moment.
As soon as he tried to get up, he almost fell over.
An Ning quickly stepped forward to support him.
Gu Xingchuan’s heart trembled slightly.
Xie Ruotong, watching from the side, couldn’t help but press her lips together.
If the Emperor saw this...
Oh well.
In any case, the Empress never planned to spend her life with the Emperor.
Moreover, in Xie Ruotong’s heart, if possible, she hoped An Ning could be with Gu Xingchuan.
Gu Xingchuan’s love was purer, without any mixes of interest.
Gu Xingchuan was also simpler; he could forsake everything for An Ning, but the Emperor could not. The Emperor also had to consider civil and military officials, the people, and the world! He couldn’t abandon everything just for An Ning.
But what An Ning wanted was never power; she wanted a free and leisurely life.
Uninhibited and free-spirited.
So, if An Ning had to choose between the Emperor and Gu Xingchuan, Gu Xingchuan would be her best choice.
Xie Ruotong thought silently.
Then, she watched in silence as An Ning carefully helped Gu Xingchuan up, propping him comfortably against the headboard with a pillow.
"Why did you come?" Gu Xingchuan asked.
"To see if you’re dead yet," An Ning said bluntly.
"..." Gu Xingchuan smiled faintly and explained, "It’s not because of you, don’t overthink it."
"So who is it for?"
"For myself," Gu Xingchuan replied directly.
An Ning looked at him.
She knew Gu Xingchuan would never lie to her.
He never would.
"Sometimes, I find myself feeling quite useless, so I wanted to think quietly about what I’m truly living for, and ended up lying in bed for a few days." Gu Xingchuan murmured, with a faintly self-deprecating smile at the corner of his mouth.
"What kind of blow have you suffered that makes you feel so useless?" An Ning raised an eyebrow. "Being the Prime Minister, second only to one but above thousands, and yet you feel dissatisfied with your life? What about those common folks, shouldn’t they all just bang their heads against the wall and be done with it?"
Gu Xingchuan was amused by An Ning.
With her, no matter how grievous the matter, she could make him laugh and cry.
"Even being second only to one, I couldn’t protect you," Gu Xingchuan said softly.
An Ning’s heart trembled slightly.
"That day at the enthronement ceremony, watching the Bai Family push you so hard..." Gu Xingchuan suppressed his emotions, "I felt, so useless."
"Just for that?" An Ning seemed speechless, "I only got a little cut on my finger, and it’s completely healed now."
As she spoke, she showed her finger to Gu Xingchuan.
"What if the anomaly in your body was discovered by everyone? Would it still be as simple as one finger?" Gu Xingchuan retorted.
"I was quite sure it wouldn’t be discovered, and that’s why Bai Moyi did what he did to me," An Ning explained, "My body’s self-healing ability was passed to An Youyou after she was born, and my ability disappeared. Rather than saying Bai Moyi hurt me that day, it’s more like he deliberately did it as a slap to Bai Mowan’s face."
"Does the Emperor know?" Gu Xingchuan asked.
"He knows," An Ning replied, "so don’t think Xiao Jinxing doesn’t care about whether I live or die."
"But he still let you get hurt," Gu Xingchuan spiraled into a dead end.
"That’s why I don’t love him," An Ning said frankly.
Gu Xingchuan looked at An Ning.
"I originally didn’t want to tell you all this, to avoid giving you any hope. After all, I don’t love him, nor do I love you," An Ning said even more bluntly.
Gu Xingchuan pressed his lips together.
"But I always feel that not saying it is unfair to you," An Ning looked at Gu Xingchuan, "but before explaining a lot, you need to eat and take your medicine first. I’ll tell you my story slowly, I’ll tell you and Ruotong."
Xie Ruotong immediately said, "I can avoid any awkwardness."
"No need," An Ning said, "It’s only you two here whom I truly trust. Everyone else could betray me, but you two won’t."
Xie Ruotong felt a bit moved.
Gu Xingchuan also had some emotional ripples.
"Ruotong, please have someone bring food and medicine here, I’m afraid that if I get to an exciting part halfway, Gu Xingchuan might lose his breath and affect my enthusiasm." An Ning joked.
Xie Ruotong was also amused by An Ning.
Even Gu Xingchuan couldn’t help but smile.
Sometimes, An Ning’s blunt words really made people laugh and cry.
The oppressive, heavy, even sorrowful atmosphere could instantly become light-hearted.
Xie Ruotong had the servants bring in food and medicinal soup.
An Ning watched over Gu Xingchuan as he ate two big bowls of rice and drank a whole bowl of medicinal soup.
The servants were shocked.
Truly, there is always something to conquer something else.
After Gu Xingchuan finished eating.
It was just the three of them left in the room again.
An Ning didn’t keep them in suspense and said straightforwardly, "I’m not Ye Qichi, I’m actually An Ning."
It was clearly a shocking revelation.
Yet when it was said at that moment, it somehow didn’t seem surprising anymore, as if everything was suddenly clear.
"I come from another world; to be precise, my soul is from another world, and I borrowed Ye Qichi’s body. In that world, I had my family and friends, even someone I deeply loved, a person named Fu Xingyi. I don’t know why I suddenly ended up here; probably, I died in my world and then magically transferred into Ye Qichi’s body, using her body to live again in your world." An Ning didn’t care if Gu Xingchuan and Xie Ruotong could understand.
She continued, "My world is completely different from yours, there’s no male superiority, no so-called imperial supremacy, in my world everyone is equal!"
