The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day

Chapter 142: Xiao Jinxing Critically Ill, Ye Qichi Confronts Bai Mowan_4



The situation of His Royal Highness, Prince Xiao Jinxing, truly depends on his own fate, they are powerless to help.

The Imperial Physicians took turns taking care of Xiao Jinxing.

Bai Mowan and Ye Qichi were also inseparable from his side.

The Imperial Physician said if he does not wake up within 12 hours, which is to say a whole day, Xiao Jinxing will never wake up again.

Just thinking about this possibility.

Bai Mowan's eyes reddened once more.

"General Bai," an Imperial Physician suddenly approached, "I see you've also sustained some injuries. Allow me to tend to your wounds?"

Bai Mowan was in no mood to take care of herself at this moment.

The Imperial Physician said, "General Bai, you must prioritize your health. If Prince Xiao wakes up and sees you in this state, he would be heartbroken."

Ye Qichi just listened to the Imperial Physician's words of comfort to Bai Mowan.

It seems that everyone in the Daxuan Kingdom knew that Xiao Jinxing was fond of Bai Mowan.

Only after hearing the Imperial Physician did Bai Mowan reluctantly agree.

"General Bai, please, have a seat over here." The Imperial Physician invited Bai Mowan to sit on a chair to one side.

Bai Mowan looked at Xiao Jinxing reluctantly but followed the Imperial Physician away.

Ye Qichi continued standing in front of Xiao Jinxing's bed till her legs went numb.

She wondered whether she should find an excuse to rest somewhere to the side.

But upon seeing Xiao Jinxing's lifeless appearance...

A doctor's instincts make it truly hard to restrain oneself.

She rose to her feet and, after Bai Mowan left, approached Xiao Jinxing's side to take his pulse.

She really didn't want to save Xiao Jinxing again.

Alright then.

Last time Xiao Jinxing abandoned her and their collaboration, and she admits she still resents that.

But the thought of him dying, leaving the world to Xiao Jinsen's rule, knowing that once Xiao Jinsen gains power, he would most likely kill her first thing, then make the Minister Mansion suffer along with her...

Damn it.

This lawless imperial society!

Although Ye Qichi felt uneasy, she resignedly continued to diagnose Xiao Jinxing.

She did not act at first because she saw that the Imperial Physicians were busy and orderly and did not want to disturb them.

Moreover, she was not particularly eager to treat him and was observing whether the Imperial Physicians could revive Xiao Jinxing.

After observing, she estimated that Xiao Jinxing would die at the hands of the Imperial Physicians.

She had no choice but to act.

After taking his pulse, Ye Qichi's expression became slightly more grave.

Xiao Jinxing's injuries were more serious than she had expected.

Xiao Jinxing was truly ready to die for his goals, reckless of his own life.

This man, so cruel to others, even more so to himself.

If he had successfully protected Xiao Zhanping from the assassination, Xiao Jinxing would have turned disaster into a blessing, so long as he remained alive; Xiao Zhanping's regard for him would change drastically.

But what if he himself perished in the process?!

Does Xiao Jinxing now regret his actions?

Does he regret saving the life of the woman who killed his mother, only to end up sacrificing his own life?

Moreover.

This guy didn't collapse earlier or later; he did it right when Xiao Zhanping was about to reward her.

She had already thought about how to ask for that reward.

It must be intentional.

Intentional, not wanting the Emperor to feel too much gratitude to her.

Ye Qichi took a deep breath.

She felt she shouldn't overthink.

Doctors need to be rational, or else... one displeasure, and who knows how many patients will die by her hand.

She let go of Xiao Jinxing's wrist, leaned down, and rested her head on his chest to listen closely to the condition of his heart.

Of course, there were also Imperial Physicians present.

The Imperial Physicians looked at Ye Qichi's actions with some surprise, but since she was Princess Xiao, they did not dare to say more.

Ye Qichi's eyebrows knitted tightly, focusing intently.

"Ye Qichi, what are you doing?!" Bai Mowan's voice suddenly emerged aside her ear, "Can't you see that Prince Xiao has suffered a serious injury to the chest? What are you doing pressing on his chest now?"

Her voice was filled with heavy reproach.

Ye Qichi moved away from Xiao Jinxing's chest and spoke indifferently, "I'm not pressing on him."

"Then why are you so close to him, what are you trying to do..."

"General Bai," Ye Qichi's mood was really not good at the moment, so was her tone.

Actually, she had already thought about diagnosing and treating Xiao Jinxing beforehand, but Bai Mowan had been clinging to Xiao Jinxing's hand non-stop, constantly calling out to him by his ear, as if trying to wake him up. At this moment, she truly felt Bai Mowan was being a bit noisy.

Honestly, when she was reading the novel, she didn't quite like the heroine's character, feeling that the author had written her a bit too self-centered, even self-righteous at times, causing trouble for the male protagonist and always being saved by him when in danger. Now having truly interacted with her, she indeed found that she wasn't the type she preferred.

She even thought that Xie Ruotong, who didn't appear much in the story, had more charisma than Bai Mowan.

"If I remember correctly, I am currently Princess Xiao." Ye Qichi enunciated every word.

It was a reminder.

Bai Mowan's complexion changed in an instant.

Even though she tried to maintain her composure, it was not difficult to see a flicker of embarrassment and shame in her eyes.

And in that moment, it seemed that she also felt intimidated by Ye Qichi.

Whether in her past life or this one, she had never felt such a sensation, even when Xie Ruiyao later received Xiao Jinsen's affection and exuded arrogance before her. To her, Xie Ruiyao was just blustering; she did not fear her, even looked down upon her.

Yet the current Ye Qichi gave her the illusion that this woman had an imposing aura!
