The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day
Chapter 59 - 60: Return to Wan Courtyard

Chapter 59: Chapter 60: Return to Wan Courtyard

In the silence.

It seemed that everyone was waiting for Xiao Jinxing’s evaluation.

However, at that moment.

Xiao Jinxing said nothing, his expression seemingly unchanged.

He just continued eating on his own.

Nobody could tell whether the food was tasty or not.

Lu You couldn’t help feeling somewhat disappointed.

Shouldn’t the Prince compliment the Princess?!

Such delicious food, isn’t it surprising?!

Ye Qichi seemed to have expected Xiao Jinxing’s reaction, she calmly picked up her bowl and chopsticks and continued to eat quietly with him.

"Serve me another bowl of rice," Xiao Jinxing suddenly ordered.

Lu You was startled and hurriedly served another bowl.

Xiao Wu was a bit surprised.

The Prince usually does not go for a second bowl of rice.

Thinking that perhaps he was just a bit hungrier than usual, which was normal.

But when it came to the third Wan.

Xiao Wu was clearly stunned.

The Prince actually ate a third bowl of rice?! In all the years he had served the Prince, this had never happened.

Was the food really that good?!

It did smell tempting.

But it was just a dish of shredded potatoes with rice, what’s so special about that?

"Serve me another bowl," after finishing the third bowl, Xiao Jinxing instructed again.

Lu You was close to tears.

She said timidly, "Your Highness, all the rice has been eaten by you..."

Actually, there wasn’t much of the dish left either.

She hadn’t had her share yet.

Ye Qichi, seeing how Xiao Jinxing was eating, actually didn’t help herself to more dishes in the end.

Fearing that the damn Prince would make a fuss if there were no more dishes left.

Xiao Jinxing frowned.

"If Your Highness is still hungry, your servant can go cook for you right now," Lu You offered.

"No need," Ye Qichi refused directly.

Xiao Jinxing frowned.

Ye Qichi was getting bolder.

She even dared to make decisions for him.

"Binging is bad for your health, Your Highness should take care of your body," Ye Qichi said.

Xiao Jinxing’s lips tightened, "Serve me some soup."

Lu You quickly served Xiao Jinxing a bowl of chicken soup.

Xiao Jinxing drank satisfactorily and said, "Lu You’s cooking skills are not bad."

Convinced that Lu You was the one who had cooked the meal.

"To report to Your Highness, it was not your servant who cooked the meal." Lu You hurriedly explained.

Xiao Jinxing glanced at Lu You.

Lu You answered, "It was the Princess who made it. Your servant only helped with the chores."

Xiao Jinxing’s gaze shifted to Ye Qichi.

The surprise in his eyes was apparent.

When Ye Qichi’s chef had cooked for him before, he knew that the beef that day must have been made by someone else, but he never imagined it would be Ye Qichi.

Ye Qichi, a lady of high status, how could she cook?!

"No need to admire me that much!" Ye Qichi said with a smile at the corner of her mouth.

Obviously a bit smug.

Xiao Jinxing withdrew his gaze and also concealed his emotions.

For Ye Qichi’s increasingly unexpected presence, he had now become accustomed to it.

He spoke, "Considering that you specially prepared dinner for me, I shall forgive your rudeness towards me that day!"

Ye Qichi couldn’t help but smile.

This guy really knew how to find himself a way out.

Clearly, he just wanted her to go back and treat his leg.

Without any surprise, Xiao Jinxing should have regained some sense of feeling by now.

Having tasted the sweetness, he obviously didn’t want to give up halfway.

"However, Ye Qichi, I warn you, do not take this as a precedent!" Xiao Jinxing still did not forget to threaten.

Of course, Ye Qichi wouldn’t really go against Xiao Jinxing.

For her, making Xiao Jinxing recover and ascend to the throne would be the time when she could retire gloriously and exit the stage!

"Thank you, Prince, for your generosity; your concubine will heed your instruction."

Xiao Jinxing gave Ye Qichi a sideward glance, "Clean up your things yourself and return to Wan Courtyard. Xiao Wu, push me back!"

"Yes."

Xiao Wu pushed Xiao Jinxing away.

Only after the two people had completely disappeared from her sight, Lu You couldn’t help but cheer, "Princess, the Prince has finally forgiven you, and you are finally sharing a room with him again."

"..." Is it really something to be this happy about?!

"Princess, your servant will pack your belongings right away, and accompany you over immediately."

"Mhm." Ye Qichi replied indifferently.

Lu You, full of excitement, got everything ready, and still couldn’t help but sigh as she accompanied Ye Qichi to leave.

"What’s wrong?" Ye Qichi asked.

"I didn’t get enough to eat." Lu You said, feeling aggrieved.

She hadn’t expected at all that the Prince would finish all the food.

She was pondering over keeping some; her chicken soup soaked rice was also fragrant.

"That’s all the ambition you have." Ye Qichi laughed, "I’ll have Xiao Wu bring you an extra meal tonight."

"It’s still not as tasty as what the Princess makes."

"That’s true." Ye Qichi was not one to be modest.

Lu You really wasn’t used to the Princess’s personality initially, always feeling that a woman should be reserved and gentle, or else she would be laughed at.

But now, she genuinely liked the Princess’s refreshing nature. It was as if she radiated an aura that irresistibly attracted people.

The two left the courtyard.

Behind them, a figure watched their departing silhouettes.

Nanny Liu stared at them fiercely.

It had not been easy to drive Ye Qichi out of Wan Courtyard, yet she had returned.

She must send this news back to the Empress quickly.

To warn the Empress, to be wary of the crafty woman Ye Qichi!

...

Ye Qichi, leading Lu You, entered Wan Courtyard and went straight into Xiao Jinxing’s bedroom.

Xiao Wu was attending to Xiao Jinxing as he got into bed.

"Princess." Xiao Wu was respectful.

"Mhm."

"This servant will take his leave now."

After Xiao Wu left, Ye Qichi walked to the bedside.

Xiao Jinxing did not look at Ye Qichi, still holding his dignity very high.

"No acupuncture tonight, only massage." Ye Qichi stated outright.

Xiao Jinxing was somewhat puzzled, but did not ask further.

Deep down... he had come to accept Ye Qichi’s medical skills.

"Your concubine will help you remove your pants." Ye Qichi said.

Xiao Jinxing did not respond.

A silence usually meant consent.

After Ye Qichi removed Xiao Jinxing’s pants, she took out a bottle of Essential Oil from her bosom.

This was taken from the Yicui Pavilion.

This kind of item, in ancient times, would generally only be found in brothels. If one were to buy it themselves... not only would it be difficult to purchase, but it could also affect one’s reputation.

Ye Qichi never liked to do things that were inefficient.

It was best to ask Xiang Qin for it.

"What is this?!" Xiao Jinxing felt a coolness on his leg.

"It will make you feel dizzy with pleasure soon."

"Ye Qichi!" Xiao Jinxing became angry again.

Ye Qichi was speechless, "What are you thinking about! Do you really think I harbor such improper thoughts towards you! When I say dizzy with pleasure, I meant the massage will be very comfortable, aiding the blood circulation in your legs to help with the recovery! What are you filling your head with!"

"..." Xiao Jinxing’s face turned green with anger.

"By the way, do you feel any sensation now?" Ye Qichi asked.

"Yes." Xiao Jinxing’s tone was not pleasant.

He was probably still suppressing his anger.

"Do you feel pain at this level of sensation?" Ye Qichi asked.

Contrary to Xiao Jinxing’s mood, Ye Qichi had already adjusted her mindset to her professional domain.

"A little." Xiao Jinxing answered.

"In half a month, we can try to get you on your feet." Ye Qichi said.

Xiao Jinxing clearly showed a slight emotional fluctuation.

Disabled for ten years.

He had never really thought that there would come a day when he could stand up again!
