The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day
Chapter 58 - 59: The Scrounging Prince

Chapter 58: Chapter 59: The Scrounging Prince

Ye Qichi woke up with a start, and it was already night.

After waking up, she felt refreshed all over.

She looked around at her surroundings and then at the clothes she was wearing.

"Lu You." Ye Qichi called out.

Lu You was dozing off beside her.

She had been waiting for the Princess to wake up for too long.

Hearing her voice, she hurriedly responded, "Princess, your servant is here."

"How did I get here?!" It was clear she had noticed she was back in her former courtyard.

By now, Lu You had come forward, lifting the curtains around Ye Qichi, and said, "Does the Princess not remember anything?"

"Did something significant happen?!" Ye Qichi asked, frowning.

She had been drunk and experienced blackouts.

Then Lu You recounted the events of the afternoon in vivid detail to Ye Qichi.

The more Ye Qichi listened, the darker her expression became.

Her lips trembled slightly, "Did I really say that Xiao Jinxing sticks out his tongue and such?"

"Yes, yes." Lu You nodded vigorously like a pecking hen, "The Prince was about to explode with anger!"

Ye Qichi seemed to have a faint recollection of it.

Remembering it now, she shivered inside.

"The Prince said he never wants to see the Princess again." As soon as Lu You mentioned this, her eyes reddened again.

Just when their relationship with the Prince had been getting better, now it had collapsed again.

Couldn’t the Princess just treasure it properly?!

"That’s not a big deal." Ye Qichi was nonchalant, "Within three days, that dog of a Prince will surely summon me."

"Really?" Lu You was somewhat incredulous.

The way the Prince had looked earlier, he really seemed ready to kill the Princess.

"Rest assured." Ye Qichi stretched, "I’m hungry, make me something to eat."

"Has the Princess forgotten? The cook was driven away by the Prince."

"..." Ye Qichi paused for a moment, "We’ll make it ourselves."

"But there are no ingredients."

"It’s not like you can’t find the kitchen in Wan Courtyard."

"Does the Princess mean to steal?" Lu You’s eyes widened in shock.

"I’m the Prince’s wife, his things are my things, how can you call it stealing!" Ye Qichi declared as if it were her due right.

Lu You pursed her lips.

The Prince’s things were certainly not the Princess’s.

The Prince was such a miser!

Fortunately.

Lu You got some ingredients from the kitchen in Wan Courtyard, as the cooks didn’t make things difficult for her and gave her some.

Ye Qichi and Lu You had cooked their meals in their own kitchen for the past few days.

Not living under the same roof as Xiao Jinxing, Ye Qichi actually felt more at ease.

But the one thing that troubled her was, after three days passed, she still hadn’t received any news from Gu Xingchuan’s side.

It seemed Xiang Qin did not trust her.

"Princess." Lu You fanned Ye Qichi at her side, "Didn’t you say the Prince would summon you within three days? It’s been three days, and the Prince hasn’t even asked about you."

"..." Bringing up the very topic she’d rather avoid, Ye Qichi unconcernedly said, "If he doesn’t ask, he doesn’t ask. Isn’t the food I make delicious?"

"The food prepared by the Princess is the best I’ve ever had." Lu You quickly flattered, "Your servant is just worried about the relationship between the Princess and the Prince..."

"Stop talking about Xiao Jinxing, let’s go, time to cook!" Ye Qichi stood up.

Lu You truly didn’t understand how the Princess could live so carefreely and unrestrained.

Not being favored by the Prince, shouldn’t that be a huge issue?!

The Princess didn’t seem to care at all.

The two of them walked into the kitchen.

Lu You started the fire, Ye Qichi cut the vegetables.

Her skills were nothing short of exceptional.

Back when they had beef slices, Lu You was astonished. Being able to slice meat so thinly was simply awe-inspiring!

Now looking at those potato shreds, almost as fine as needles and incredibly even.

"Princess, you are truly amazing." Lu You couldn’t help but praise.

"If we ever leave the Prince’s mansion, we could even open a restaurant or something." Ye Qichi spoke offhandedly.

"Princess..." Lu You’s eyes reddened again.

For Lu You, the Princess leaving the mansion, leaving the Prince, was an unimaginably tragic affair.

Ye Qichi was utterly speechless.

"Maintain the heat." Ye Qichi changed the subject.

"Okay." Lu You wiped away her tears.

Ye Qichi threw the prepared shredded potatoes into the wok, stirring and frying them.

Soon, an enticing aroma filled the air.

Lu You started to drool.

It turns out the Princess can make a simple dish even tastier than meat.

The shredded potatoes were fried to perfection.

Ye Qichi glanced at the chicken soup simmering in the pot beside her.

When she lifted the lid, a rich aroma of chicken soup wafted out.

"It smells so good!" Lu You couldn’t help exclaiming.

"Get ready to serve the meal."

"Yes." Lu You quickly stepped out of the kitchen hearth.

Ye Qichi too went to wash her hands.

One bowl of chicken soup, one plate of shredded potatoes, plus two servings of rice.

It was so delicious that Lu You couldn’t stop eating, "Princess, it’s so tasty, really so tasty!"

"Still want to go over to the Prince?" Ye Qichi asked.

"Um..." Tough choice.

Ye Qichi smiled, "Go ahead, eat."

She didn’t make it difficult for Lu You.

The two of them continued to have their dinner like this.

As they were eating, they felt a chill in the surroundings.

Ye Qichi looked up and saw Xiao Jinxing sitting in a wheelchair, staring at them ominously from the doorway with a dark, cold face.

Damn, scaring someone in the middle of the night? Like some grim reaper!

Ye Qichi steadied her emotions, pretending not to see him.

She bowed her head and continued to eat.

"Ye Qichi!" Xiao Jinxing couldn’t stand Ye Qichi’s arrogant attitude.

He roared with anger.

Ye Qichi was not frightened.

Lu You, startled, flipped over from the stool and as she fell to the ground, she quickly knelt and said, "The servant pays respect to the Prince!"

Truly frightening enough to scare someone to death.

She almost had an out-of-body experience!

At that moment, she couldn’t help but admire the Princess.

The Princess said it wouldn’t take three days.

Indeed, the Prince actually arrived within three days.

"Has the Prince had his dinner?" Ye Qichi asked casually while eating shredded potatoes.

"Not yet!" Xiao Jinxing replied with an icy voice.

Not eaten then, what’s there to be fierce about.

Ye Qichi said, "Would you like to join us then?"

Xiao Jinxing was about to flatly refuse.

At that moment, he suddenly recalled the beef he had tasted in the courtyard that day.

He ordered majestically, "Serve me a meal!"

"Cough, cough!" Xiao Wu was suddenly choked.

With a look from Xiao Jinxing.

Xiao Wu covered his mouth, forcing himself to control his cough.

He was truly shocked by the Prince.

Wasn’t it agreed that after checking if the Princess was dead, he would return for dinner?!

The Prince’s change of face was too swift.

"Lu You, go serve the Prince his meal," Ye Qichi instructed.

Lu You quickly got up from the floor and went to the kitchen to serve Xiao Jinxing a bowl of rice.

Xiao Jinxing sat at the dining table to eat, and naturally, Lu You did not dare sit down and could only stand respectfully behind Ye Qichi.

Xiao Jinxing saw only two dishes on the table and didn’t move his chopsticks.

"The Prince isn’t eating?" Ye Qichi asked.

Xiao Jinxing glanced at Ye Qichi, but he still picked up the chopsticks and disdainfully took a little shredded potato, putting it into his mouth.

He chewed methodically, slowly, his facial expression showing subtle changes, and the speed of his chewing clearly quickening.
