Chapter 79: Chapter 67: Xiao Jinxing’s ’Kind Heart’ (6000 words)_3

"Grandson will surely keep that in mind," Xiao Jinxing’s weak voice strained to speak clearly.

"Ye Qichi doesn’t have to be killed for the time being," Wen Jingtang said, clearly not objecting to Xiao Jinxing’s consideration.

The objection was only to Xiao Jinxing’s rebellion against her.

Even if it was wrong, Wen Jingtang would not allow Xiao Jinxing to defy her in the slightest!

"But once I issue a command, Xiao Jinxing, you must immediately present Ye Qichi’s corpse before me!" Wen Jingtang’s words were firm and allowed no substitution.

"Grandson obeys!"

"Go back and tend to your wounds well," Wen Jingtang ordered, indifferent.

"Yes," Xiao Jinxing replied respectfully, "Grandson shall take his leave first."

Wen Jingtang waved her hand.

"Xiao Wu," Xiao Jinxing called out weakly.

Xiao Wu had been waiting outside the hall all along.

Hearing the Prince’s voice, he rushed in at once.

Seeing the state of the Prince at this moment, his heart trembled.

In fact, hearing the whipping sound earlier, Xiao Wu had guessed that the Prince was being punished by the Empress Dowager.

But he did not expect...

For it to be so harsh this time.

"Help me change my clothes," Xiao Jinxing ordered.

Xiao Wu suppressed his emotions.

In the Empress Dowager’s chamber, naturally, he dared not say anything.

Rushing forward, and seeing the Prince’s bloodied body, he still hesitated to act.

Changing clothes at this time was undoubtedly adding salt to the wounds.

"Your Highness..." Xiao Wu found it unbearable.

"Change my clothes," Xiao Jinxing insisted, his voice trembling with the strain.

"Yes," Xiao Wu complied, and reached out to help him dress.

As the clothes touched Xiao Jinxing’s body.

The muscles flinched instinctively.

Xiao Wu watched, his heart racing with fear.

After he was dressed, Xiao Wu carried Xiao Jinxing onto the wheelchair.

"Take the rosin ointment back for application!" Wen Jingtang was already half-reclining on the soft couch, continuing her feigned slumber, her eyes not even open as she spoke.

"Thank you, Great Imperial Grandmother," Xiao Jinxing expressed his gratitude.

Xiao Wu promptly stepped forward to take the ointment with both hands, then respectfully pushed the Prince away.

Leaving the chamber, Xiao Wu’s steps immediately quickened.

However, after only a few steps.

He came face-to-face with a man dressed in a purple, splendid attire.

The man stood before them.

Xiao Wu looked towards Xiao Jinxing.

Xiao Jinxing was naturally looking at the man in front of him, Xiao Jinsen.

"Second Imperial Brother," Xiao Jinxing took the initiative to salute.

"No need for such formality with your physical condition, Third Brother. Besides, we brothers need not be so bound by etiquette," Xiao Jinsen spoke.

"Yes."

"I heard that Third Brother’s wife was seriously injured today, why didn’t you go back to accompany your wife?" Xiao Jinsen seemed concerned.

But in reality, he was probing their relationship, his and Ye Qichi’s.

"Great Imperial Grandmother heard about Qi’er’s incident with the Empress Mother and was very worried, so she ordered me to come and inquire. Having just spoken with Great Imperial Grandmother, I am about to rush back posthaste," Xiao Jinxing explained.

"I see," Xiao Jinsen nodded, "Then I won’t delay Brother in returning to care for your wife."

"Thank you, Second Imperial Brother, for your consideration."

"However," Xiao Jinsen suddenly spoke again.

Xiao Jinxing’s throat moved slightly.

Extremely weak at this moment, he wondered how long he could keep up such pretense.

"Have your feelings for your wife improved?"

"As husband and wife bound by hair-tied matrimonial vows, we must treat each other with sincerity," Xiao Jinxing replied.

"What about Bai Mowan?" Xiao Jinsen deliberately asked.

"Wan’er is fond of Imperial Brother, and my feelings for Wan’er are only brotherly. I only hope that Imperial Brother treats Wan’er well, nothing more," Xiao Jinxing expressed.

"Wan’er is the one I cherish, and naturally, I will take care of her," Xiao Jinsen assured.

"In that case, I wish Imperial Brother and Wan’er a harmonious and lasting union," Xiao Jinxing offered his blessings.

"Brother also congratulates you on finally finding your beloved," Xiao Jinsen said, referring to Ye Qichi as the beloved.

"Thank you for Imperial Brother’s blessings."

"Brother won’t delay you from returning any longer," Xiao Jinsen said.

"Your servant begs to retire," Xiao Jinxing replied with respect.

Xiao Jinsen nodded slightly.

At that moment, he watched Xiao Jinxing’s personal guard hastening him away.

Clearly, somewhat urgently.

And just now, Xiao Jinxing’s expression also revealed his desire to leave sooner.

So.

Xiao Jinxing is serious about Ye Qichi?!

His feelings for Bai Mowan have faded?!

Xiao Jinsen’s eyes suddenly sharpened.

At that moment, the image of Ye Qichi flashed through his mind.

He heard that she had been beaten to a pulp...

He lowered his gaze.

What happened to Ye Qichi is of no concern to him!

...

When Xiao Jinxing returned to the Prince’s Mansion.

It was already afternoon.

After the jostling of the carriage, Xiao Jinxing’s condition had clearly worsened.

But when alighting from the carriage, Xiao Jinxing insisted on sitting in the wheelchair.
