The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day

He rushed forward with utmost respect, "Princess Chen, please restrain your words. The Prince's heart is injured, and I fear that if Prince Chen becomes too enraged, something serious might easily happen."

Ye Qichi calmed down slightly upon the Imperial Physician's words.

She watched as Xiao Jinxing appeared on the verge of exploding.

She held back, swallowing the words that could have driven Xiao Jinxing to his death.

She now had the Death Exemption Token and the everlasting bond that prevented divorce, so she wasn't really afraid of Xiao Jinxing. But if Xiao Jinxing really died of anger because of her, then she would have made a terrible mistake.

She said, "Xiao Jinxing, you should be thankful that I have no feelings for you, so you don't have to truly take responsibility for me, and I don't need you to be responsible for me! Just treat your Miss Bai well; you and I should just have a purely cooperative relationship, not stepping outside our bounds!"

Xiao Jinxing watched Ye Qichi with a cold gaze.

Watching her leave after dropping a sentence.

"Ye Qichi…" Despite himself, Xiao Jinxing couldn't help but call out to her.

"Don't call me!" Ye Qichi was livid, "I'm freaking exhausted! Last night, all you knew was that your Miss Bai spent the night with you. I was dead tired from performing surgery to save your life. Early this morning, I had to deal with the Emperor, then Xiao Jinsen, after managing Xiao Jinsen, I had to deal with your Miss Bai. After dealing with Miss Bai, I have to deal with you now! Can't I just get a good night's sleep?! Can't you be less annoying? Damn it."

Ye Qichi threw out a curse.

She was indeed enraged.

Were ancient people really this troublesome?

Because of Ye Qichi's words, Xiao Jinxing ultimately remained silent.

He had planned that they would leave the Imperial Palace for Prince Chen's Mansion today.

After all, staying in the Imperial Palace was always inconvenient; he just wanted to leave sooner.

But after being berated by Ye Qichi and seeing the tiredness in her eyes, he chose silence.

Let's stay two more days then!

Waiting for the day when the Empress's power is completely eliminated!

…

The next day.

The Bai Family's army, led by Bai Wenwu, made a grand return, arresting the Yu clan for the crime of plotting rebellion; men and women, old and young, were all beheaded in public.

This was probably the only case in Daxuan history where an Empress's entire family was exterminated.

The Empress's influence was completely eradicated.

The court's power was then wholly concentrated in Xiao Zhanping's hands.

Having ascended the throne for over twenty years, this was the first time he was not restricted by any other power.

Xiao Zhanping was naturally overjoyed.

Three days later.

Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi left the Imperial Palace and returned to Prince Chen's Mansion.

Xiao Jinxing was severely injured, and the Emperor ordered him to recuperate at the mansion for three months.

During these three months, he was exempt from attending the morning court.

It seemed like a great favor was bestowed upon Xiao Jinxing, but it was actually a veiled attempt to weaken his power.

Xiao Zhanping had his reasons for doing this.

Now, with Xiao Jinsen being too prominent, it was evident that he might surpass Xiao Jinsen, and therefore Xiao Jinxing had to be sidelined for some time, to not stand out too much, so as not to affect the selection of the Crown Prince.

After all, with the Crown Prince's passing, a new Crown Prince must eventually be established!

Since Xiao Jinxing did not have to attend the morning court, he spent increasingly more time at the mansion.

For the first month due to severe injuries, he was unable to get out of bed.

After a month, his health improved considerably, and Xiao Jinxing was often seen walking around the mansion.

This meant he would often bump into Ye Qichi.

After Ye Qichi's outburst that day, their relationship became even more estranged.

It was as if even when they met, neither would greet the other.

Not even a glance would be exchanged.

Lu You would often look at the Prince and Princess like this, and couldn't help but sigh.

What was the Emperor thinking, to actually issue a royal decree forbidding the Prince and Princess from ever divorcing? Without divorce, how could her Princess be with Young Master Gu?!

She could imagine how heartbroken Young Master Gu would be after finding out that the Prince and Princess could never divorce.

Just expressed his feelings for the Princess, and at a turn, all his hopes were dashed.

Lu You couldn't help but sigh.

A deep sigh.

"Why are you sighing?!" Ye Qichi frowned.

This little girl has been quite preoccupied lately.

Lu You turned her head and glanced at the Prince who had just passed by. Seeing Xiao Jinxing being escorted away by Xiao Wu, she whispered, "Princess, I just feel sorry for Young Master Gu. He just confessed his feelings, and now you and the Prince can never divorce. I don't know how heartbroken Young Master Gu must be."

Ye Qichi thought Lu You was lamenting about something else.
