The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day

"Since it has come to this," Ye Qichi said, "then I also have no expectations for you anymore."

"There is no need."

"Xiao Jinxing, my giving up on you is a choice you made yourself."

"Yes."

"Don't hate me," Ye Qichi articulated each word clearly.

"Without love, where does hate come from?!" Xiao Jinxing spoke bluntly.

"Very well." Ye Qichi made up her mind, she turned back, and said to the Empress, "Empress, I need to confirm one more thing."

"Speak," Yu Qingyuan at this moment, naturally felt Ye Qichi's compromise.

Basically, she thought she had been saved.

"Will you truly not kill me?"

"The words spoken by this palace are as heavy as nine tripods. And I understand you, as a woman, who hasn't been foolish for love?! If it were not for being deceived in love by Xiao Zhanping in the past, would I have lived to become what I am now. I empathize with you, naturally, I will not hold past grudges."

"This concubine thanks the Empress in advance," Ye Qichi spoke, "But I might have to disappoint the Empress."

Yu Qingyuan's expression changed instantly.

It was clear that Xiao Jinxing had already spoken to this extent.

Yet Ye Qichi, was still persisting in her delusion?!

Is this woman truly clever, or has she taken stupidity too far?

"This concubine is not holding onto any hope of saving His Majesty and the Chen King; the Empress was quite right, just now the Chen King also made it clear, it is truly not worth it to use my life to save them, but being close to a ruler is like being close to a tiger, this concubine, having offended the Empress, dare not remain at the Empress's side, the Empress just said she would not hold a grudge, this concubine naturally believes the Empress's sincerity now, but as time passes, the Empress will still harbor discontent towards this concubine, for someone who has threatened the Empress's life, the Empress certainly cannot really keep this concubine by her side without any scruples."

Yu Qingyuan's eyes were cold.

Although at that moment she hated Ye Qichi to the bone, Ye Qichi's foresight also commanded her admiration.

Yes.

Ye Qichi was absolutely right.

Now, in order to stay alive, she would surely agree to everything Ye Qichi said.

But once everything stabilizes, when she holds supreme power, when Ye Qichi no longer has any utility, there might come a day when she remembers being threatened by Ye Qichi like this, it's possible she indeed might kill Ye Qichi.

"Therefore, to ensure my absolute safety, I must leave the Imperial Palace now," Ye Qichi said, emphasizing every single word clearly.

"How do you wish to leave?!" Yu Qingyuan asked fiercely.

"At the palace gate, prepare a fine steed for this concubine, and the Empress will escort this concubine to the gate."

"Ye Qichi, don't push your luck!" Yu Qingyuan exclaimed angrily.

"This is the only way this concubine can think of to ensure my safety, if the Empress does not agree, then this concubine is willing to perish together with the Empress, His Majesty, and the Chen King!"

Yu Qingyuan was shaking with anger.

Ye Qichi's cleverness truly left her feeling helpless.

The feeling of being led by the nose by Ye Qichi, she truly wished she could kill Ye Qichi to vent her anger!

"I will count to three, and then I will take action," Ye Qichi did not give Yu Qingyuan much time to consider, she began to say, "One, two..."

"Fine!" Yu Qingyuan agreed.

For her, having lost her son, the only thing she wanted to do now was to thrust the Yu Family onto the stage of history, to have the Xiao Family's empire utterly destroyed, to make Xiao Zhanping regret for the rest of his life, she absolutely couldn't let a mere Ye Qichi ruin all her plans.

"But I have one condition!" Yu Qingyuan said fiercely, "Let me kill Xiao Zhanping first!"

Ye Qichi's eyes tightened.

"Killing her does not conflict with your departure," Yu Qingyuan tempted.

Xiao Zhanping at this moment was driven into a tight corner, looking extremely pathetic.

Hearing Yu Qingyuan's words, he too wished he could tear her to pieces.

If he did not die this time, he would definitely make Yu Qingyuan live a life worse than death!

"No!" Ye Qichi suddenly refused.

Yu Qingyuan's face turned even uglier!

"Killing His Majesty takes time, and this concubine does not wish to delay," Ye Qichi said, "The grudge between the Empress and His Majesty is your business, this concubine now only wishes to preserve her life."

"Ye Qichi, you really are..."

"The initiative is in this concubine's hands, so please do not provoke this concubine further," she said, and at that moment, the hidden weapon on the Empress's neck pressed in a fraction deeper.

Yu Qingyuan trembled with rage.

But at that moment, she had no choice but to be threatened by Ye Qichi!

"This palace will see you out!" Yu Qingyuan reluctantly agreed, containing her fury.
