The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day

And then what?!

Ye Qichi seemed very indifferent as well.

"Later, when you were chased by the wolf pack, you were abandoned by the King of Chen. At that moment, my only thought was, if misfortune befell you, I would certainly risk my life to protect everything for the Minister Mansion! I have always felt extremely guilty about you, feeling that my existence was perhaps unfair to you. But now, I realize I've been thinking too much," Bai Mowan said sarcastically, "Everything you do is just a deliberate deception to make people let their guard down around you, so that silently, you achieve your own goals."

"What goals?" Ye Qichi's smile was still somewhat radiant.

Ye Qichi found Bai Mowan's serious speculation and even slander of her somewhat funny.

"To be with the King of Chen forever, without ever parting," Bai Mowan enunciated every word with finality, "Otherwise, when the Emperor gave you the reward, you could have rejected it on the spot!"

Ye Qichi laughed again.

She felt that even if she fell into the Yellow River, she wouldn't be able to clear her name.

Seeing the smile on Ye Qichi's face, Bai Mowan thought that she was admitting it, finally revealing her ambition.

She said coldly, "Ye Qichi, I will not feel any guilt towards you in the future. Everything you've done is just to get what you want. I don't need to feel grateful to you."

"Did I ask for your gratitude?" Ye Qichi looked at Bai Mowan, not wanting to talk more with her, but sometimes feeling that she couldn't just accept the indignity, "General Bai, what is your intention with your words today? Is it to expose my so-called goals, or to give yourself a just excuse, to decide that my lifesaving grace had ulterior motives, so that you don't need to carry any psychological burden or hesitation, to boldly take away the position of the King of Chen's Princess Consort from me!"

"I..." Bai Mowan blushed from what Ye Qichi had said.

She was about to retort.

Ye Qichi directly interrupted her, "So General Bai, do you know what such behavior of yours is called?"

Bai Mowan's face turned noticeably ugly.

"Playing the harlot while also playing the chaste."

"Ye Qichi!" Bai Mowan's face turned red from Ye Qichi's words.

Her eyes widened as she glared at Ye Qichi, obviously enraged.

"Honestly, regarding your identity..." the protagonist's identity, "I really didn't want to target you. After all, many things should revolve around you, and in the end, it should be your perfect conclusion. But sometimes, being too self-centered is really annoying! I'm here right now to refute your baseless accusations against me, one by one!"

Bai Mowan stared fiercely at Ye Qichi.

In the last life, Ye Qichi was remembered as meek and not smart.

In this life, Ye Qichi, with such a domineering presence, seemed to have her own zeal completely crushed by Ye Qichi's aura.

"Firstly, if I wanted the position of the King of Chen's Princess Consort, if I did not want to be separated from Xiao Jinxing, then why would I have saved you on the day of the hunting competition?! I could have just watched you being hunted down and then killed by the Crown Princess Consort. Why would I have saved your life?!"

"That's because..." Bai Mowan tried to speak.

Ye Qichi interrupted again, "You might say, that's because I did it deliberately for Xiao Jinxing to see, so as to gain his favor. But General Bai, don't you think that doing so is superfluous?! Everyone in Daxuan Kingdom knows that Xiao Jinxing likes you. As long as you're alive, even if Xiao Jinxing has a good opinion of me, he wouldn't like me. If I really liked him, the best way would be for you to die, to break his thoughts of you! How foolish would I have to be to save you and create trouble for myself?!"

Bai Mowan was rendered speechless by Ye Qichi's words.

Right.

She did indeed think that everything Ye Qichi did was to attract Xiao Jinxing's attention, making Xiao Jinxing see her in a different light.

Now, with Ye Qichi putting it bluntly, she had to admit that she was intentionally finding fault, forcibly attributing another explanation to Ye Qichi's actions.

"Second, you just said why didn't I reject the Emperor's reward." Ye Qichi continued forcefully, "General Bai, you're so sharp, I don't believe you can't see the Emperor's intentions! It's clear, the Emperor doesn't want you to be with Xiao Jinxing, he wants to appease the Duke and Imperial Concubine Shu, so after rewarding Xiao Jinxing, of course, he has to give a peace of mind to Xiao Jinsen. You think if it's the Emperor's ulterior motive, could I refuse it? If I refused, would I end up well?! General Bai, really, you shouldn't just consider yourself, you shouldn't be that kind of person!"
