The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day
Chapter 53 - 54: Prince Dog’s Patience and Submission

Chapter 53: Chapter 54: Prince Dog’s Patience and Submission

In the kitchen.

Ye Qichi was carefully brewing medicine.

The ratio of medicine to water must not deviate in the slightest.

"Princess, why do you always antagonize the Prince?" Lu You, always by Ye Qichi’s side, couldn’t help but sigh as she watched her brewing medicine at this moment.

Clearly so good to the Prince, why can’t you get along well with him?

"I’m not angry at him," Ye Qichi said indifferently, "It’s his own pettiness, who else is to blame?!"

"Princess, can’t you indulge the Prince a bit?" Lu You was really anxious.

It was with great difficulty that the Prince agreed to share a room with the Princess, but at this rate, she might be driven away again soon.

Following the Princess, every day is filled with fear and trepidation.

"We’re all living as humans for the first time, why should I indulge him?!" Ye Qichi retorted as if it were only natural.

"But he is the Prince."

"Enough, enough," Ye Qichi also knew she couldn’t convince Lu You, and ordered, "Go fetch me a fan, it’s terribly hot."

Brewing medicine at noon was indeed not a wise choice.

I’m almost suffering from heatstroke!

Lu You dared not say more and went out to find a fan.

Just as she walked to the courtyard, she saw the Prince relaxing under the shade of a tree.

"Greetings to the Prince," Lu You hurriedly approached.

"Where are you going?" Xiao Jinxing asked.

"Reply to the Prince. Your servant is fetching a fan for the Princess, who is brewing medicine in the kitchen and might suffer from heatstroke."

Xiao Jinxing did not ask any more questions.

Knowing how to read the room, Lu You hastily bowed, "Your servant will take her leave first."

Then she respectfully left.

Xiao Jinxing sat in his wheelchair, with a servant fanning him on the side.

"Go check the kitchen," Xiao Jinxing suddenly said.

"At this hour, the kitchen is stuffy and hot, if the Prince goes..." Xiao Wu spoke halfway, noticing the Prince’s stern expression, hurriedly and respectfully said, "Yes, as you command."

Then he pushed Xiao Jinxing straight to the kitchen.

Before getting close to the kitchen, they could already feel the stuffy heat emanating from inside.

Xiao Wu saw that the Prince had no intention of stopping, so he braced himself and pushed him in.

Upon entering.

The heat inside intensified.

Ye Qichi was busy all by herself, seemingly drenched in sweat, wiping the sweat off her forehead with her hand, not noticing someone was behind her, focused entirely on her medicine. After all, she was not used to this type of stove and feared she hadn’t mastered the fire control.

For herbal medicine, fire control is a skill.

"Prince..." Xiao Wu was about to speak.

Xiao Jinxing gestured to stop him.

He motioned for Xiao Wu to leave.

Xiao Wu quietly pushed Xiao Jinxing out of the kitchen, heading back to the cool shaded area of the courtyard.

"Prince, I feel that the Princess actually cares deeply for you," Xiao Wu initiated, truly touched by the Princess.

Xiao Jinxing remained silent.

Xiao Wu couldn’t help adding, "Previously, when she took the arrow for you, she was genuinely risking her life to save you."

Xiao Jinxing still did not speak.

Yet unexpectedly, he did not stop Xiao Wu.

Seeing that the Prince was not silencing him, Xiao Wu grew bolder, "I even think that the Princess deliberately antagonizes you to catch your attention. After all, when the Princess previously tried to please you, you barely looked at her, but now that she opposes you, it has piqued your interest in the Princess..."

"Enough!" Xiao Jinxing interrupted Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu dared not say more.

But he thought it was a pity if the Princess’s deep affection for the Prince went unanswered.

"I will have no feelings for Ye Qichi," Xiao Jinxing said emphatically.

Besides Wan’er, he would have feelings for no other woman.

No matter how sincerely Ye Qichi tries, at most... he could only fulfill her requests.

Nothing more, period.

Xiao Wu naturally did not dare to object.

He actually followed the Prince from the Imperial Palace to the Prince’s Mansion, so he was very clear about the Prince’s feelings for Miss Bai, but he always felt that Miss Bai only sympathized with the Prince. To put it bluntly, her kindness towards the Prince was merely pity, a bit of charity given out of kindness, nowhere near the genuine love the Princess now has for the Prince.

But when it comes to matters of the heart, Xiao Wu actually doesn’t understand much either.

Since the Prince has set his heart on Miss Bai, the Princess could only suffer!

...

Ye Qichi spent a whole two hours boiling the medicinal soup.

She almost died in the kitchen.

It was so hot she nearly kicked the bucket.

She carried the medicinal soup out and presented it to Xiao Jinxing.

That guy was leisurely enjoying the shade under the tree, looking completely comfortable.

Compared to her current disheveled state... Ye Qichi told herself, take a step back, and the sea and sky are wide, endure for a moment and the wind and waves will calm.

Xiao Jinxing looked at the medicinal soup Ye Qichi brought over.

Looking at her, her hair drenched in sweat and her face slightly dirty from the firewood, she looked quite comical.

"Prince, take the medicine." Ye Qichi spoke up.

Xiao Jinxing glanced at it, then gave a look to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu felt that sometimes the Prince really deserved a beating!

But he dared not disobey the Prince’s orders.

Xiao Wu pulled out a silver needle from his clothing.

Ye Qichi rolled her eyes.

If it weren’t for knowing Xiao Jinxing’s personality, if it weren’t for understanding his past experiences when he was a child, she really wanted to dump the bowl directly on Xiao Jinxing’s head.

She just watched as Xiao Wu tested the silver needle.

Confirmed it was not poisoned.

Xiao Jinxing then took the bowl and drank it.

The medicine was very bitter.

Xiao Jinxing’s eyebrows furrowed tightly.

After he finished, he said to Ye Qichi, "Didn’t you boil it with rock sugar?!"

"Are you a child? Need sugar with medicine!" Ye Qichi said grumpily.

All the effort to make the medicine for him, and he complained it was bitter.

"Give it to me!" Ye Qichi snatched the medicine bowl and turned to leave.

Xiao Jinxing watched Ye Qichi’s angry back, his lips pursed tightly.

"Prince, I think the reason why the Princess is angry might be because the Prince doesn’t trust the Princess," Xiao Wu spoke up.

Meaning that his act of testing for poison was wrong.

Xiao Jinxing shot him a look.

Xiao Wu dared not speak further.

"Back to the room!" Xiao Jinxing was clearly also quite angry.

Guessing he still felt somewhat guilty towards the Princess.

But after all, the Prince is the Prince.

Wrong, and still the Prince.

And the Prince is never wrong!

Never admits to being wrong!

Xiao Wu pushed Xiao Jinxing into the sleeping chamber.

From behind the screen in the sleeping chamber, the voices of Ye Qichi and Lu You could be heard, "Lu You, do you want to join in washing?"

"This servant dares not," Lu You quickly replied, "Princess, you should stop swimming and come up now, if the Prince finds out you used his bath without his permission, the Prince is going to be furious again."

"Dog Prince!" Ye Qichi couldn’t help but curse.

Outside the screen, Xiao Jinxing’s face turned green.

Xiao Wu felt the Prince was about to explode with rage!

Bracing for that moment, the Prince suddenly signaled him to leave!

So... this time the Prince decided to bite the bullet and bear it!

Would rather be angry himself than disturb the Princess bathing?

So that the Princess can cool off properly?!
