Chapter 80: Chapter 67 Xiao Jinxing’s "Good Intentions" (6000 words)_4

Xiao Wu dared not defy, so he allowed Xiao Jinxing to have a seat in the wheelchair and pushed him into the Prince’s Mansion.

"Where is Ye Qichi?" asked Xiao Jinxing casually.

"I do not know," answered Xiao Wu, who at the moment had no intention of concerning himself with the Princess. Although aware of the Princess’s grievances, they all paled in comparison to the Prince’s injuries.

"Xiao Wu!" Xiao Jinxing’s voice slightly deepened.

Though weak, his voice was still impactful.

Xiao Wu had no choice but to call the mansion steward and ask, "Where is the Princess?"

"To report to the Prince, to report to Mister Wu, after the Princess and Miss Lu You returned to the mansion, they went straight back to the Princess’s courtyard," replied the steward.

Xiao Wu had yet to speak.

When he heard the Prince say, "Go to Ye Qichi’s place."

Xiao Wu was somewhat speechless, feeling as if he were at death’s door but still needing to care for others.

When the Princess was once made to take the blame, he did not see the Prince being so kindhearted.

Xiao Wu pushed Xiao Jinxing towards Ye Qichi’s courtyard.

There were originally very few servants in the courtyard.

Now busy with their own matters, no one came over to attend to them.

Xiao Wu loudly announced towards the courtyard, "The Prince has arrived!"

From within the courtyard, a door opened and out came Lu You.

Lu You stepped forward and greeted, "Paying respects to the Prince."

"Where is the Princess?" Xiao Wu inquired.

Knowing the Prince’s body was frail and wanting to conserve his strength whenever possible.

"The Princess has sustained severe injuries and has just had her medication applied; she’s now resting in bed. This servant begs the Prince not to disturb the Princess’s rest. The Princess has just endured excruciating pain and finally fell asleep," Lu You explained.

Xiao Wu also felt that it seemed somewhat cruel to awaken the Princess at this moment.

Thus, he turned his head to look at the Prince at that instant.

Wondering if the Prince could really be so heartlessly cruel!

"Xiao Wu." Xiao Jinxing spoke.

"Yes," Xiao Wu replied respectfully.

"Give the rosin ointment to Lu You," Xiao Jinxing ordered.

Xiao Wu was shocked.

The ointment was a precious and rare medicament exclusively used in the Imperial Palace, accessible only to the Emperor, the Empress, and the Empress Dowager. This ointment was highly effective for wound recovery, and after being punished by the Empress Dowager, the Prince was always bestowed with a box, which was the very reason for his swift recuperation each time.

"Xiao Wu!" Xiao Jinxing, seeing Xiao Wu had yet to present it, his expression darkening slightly.

Xiao Wu handed it over reluctantly.

Lu You received it, somewhat puzzled.

"Clean the wound with clear water and apply it to Ye Qichi three times a day—morning, noon, and night," Xiao Jinxing instructed.

Only then did Lu You realize the Prince meant for her to apply the ointment to the Princess.

But the Princess’s body... was it necessary to use it?!

Of course, Lu You would say nothing; she promptly agreed, "Yes, as commanded by the Prince."

"Xiao Wu, let’s go back," commanded Xiao Jinxing.

Xiao Wu could only look longingly at the box of ointment as he pushed the Prince away.

He could only hope.

That such actions by the Prince might touch the Princess’s heart a little.

Often times, truly, the Prince was powerless to do otherwise.

After the Prince had left.

Only then did Lu You take the ointment and return to the room.

Inside the room, Ye Qichi was bathing in a wooden tub.

After hearing Xiao Wu’s announcement, she had let Lu You go out to deal with the matter.

She was enjoying her bath and was in no mood to cater to Xiao Jinxing.

Besides, she always felt Xiao Jinxing wouldn’t feel guilty.

At most, he might visit her out of humanitarian concern to see if she was dead or not.

She couldn’t be bothered to spar with him.

"Princess." Lu You returned to Ye Qichi’s side.

At this moment, looking at the faint bruising marks behind the Princess, she still felt shocked.

Clearly the Princess’s clothes were stained with blood. She thought the Princess’s body was horribly mutilated and unbearable to look upon, but after taking off the clothes and cleaning up, it really wasn’t serious at all.

Were her eyes deceiving her, or... had she not been as badly injured as she thought?!

"Did Xiao Jinxing leave?" Ye Qichi was soaking in the wooden tub bath, enjoying herself.

"The Prince sent you some rosin ointment." Lu You handed it to Ye Qichi.

Ye Qichi frowned and took the ointment.

Lu You said, "I didn’t even dare to tell the Prince, Princess, you actually don’t need it anymore."

Ye Qichi ignored Lu You and opened the ointment.

The moment she opened it.

Her eyes visibly tightened.

"By the way, Princess, how did you recover so quickly? I find it too incredible to believe." Lu You finally voiced her doubts.

Ye Qichi took a bit of the ointment with her hand, feeling its texture with her fingers, while she chatted with Lu You, "Are you scared yet?!"

"Not scared." Lu You denied promptly, "Even if you are not human, Princess, I won’t be scared."

"..." You are the one who is not human.

Ye Qichi was somewhat speechless.

She said, "Do you know about the theory of human evolution?!"

"What?" Lu You was completely puzzled.

"Forget it, you won’t understand even if I explain it to you." Ye Qichi decided to give up.

To give up explaining to her about human evolutionary development over tens of thousands of years, where to adapt to survival, many physical evolutions and mutations occur. Of course, most of the evolutions are subtle changes, for instance, strength will increase, running will become faster, jumping will be higher, vision will improve, and the sense of smell will become more sensitive, etc., since human genetics are limited. Therefore, an abnormal body like hers was a rarity even in the apocalypse.

Lu You wrinkled her little nose, feeling somewhat miffed at being looked down upon by the Princess.

"Is this from Xiao Jinxing?" At this point, Ye Qichi had almost confirmed the components of the ointment.

"Yes. The Prince personally brought it." Lu You quickly replied, "I feel the Prince’s regard for you... might not be as cold-blooded as it seems. Perhaps just now in the Imperial Palace, when the Prince allowed you to return first, he went to fetch this ointment for you. Such ointment must be very precious."

Ye Qichi laughed.

Indeed, it was quite valuable.

And this was the only box of it.

After all, not everyone would have ointment laced with poison.

Xiao Jinxing, that scoundrel, really had all sorts of schemes to try and kill her.

"Throw it away." Ye Qichi suddenly spoke up.

Lu You’s eyes widened in shock.

She knew the Princess always had a strong personality, but to throw away the Prince’s kind gesture so directly...

Even if she wouldn’t use it, it would still be good to keep.

After all, it was valuable!

"If the Princess doesn’t want it, may I have it?" Lu You really couldn’t bear to discard such a precious ointment.

"Only if you wish to die."

"The Princess is really wasting heavenly gifts." Lu You muttered, feeling heartbroken at the thought of throwing away such expensive medicine.

"I’m not trying to scare you. I’m telling you there’s poison in the ointment."

"What?!" Lu You was startled.

The Prince wouldn’t... he wouldn’t go that far, right?!

"It won’t be fatal, but it will definitely make your wound rot even worse."

"How would you know if you’ve never used it?" Lu You was skeptical.

"Do you want to try it?"

Of course, Lu You didn’t dare to try.

Ye Qichi said, "Bring me a Dagger."

She decided to thoroughly convince Lu You!
