Chapter 92: Chapter 70: Clearing Suspicions, Emotional Fluctuations_4

"Princess." Xiao Wu knelt before Ye Qichi again.

Ye Qichi frowned.

Don’t Xiao Wu’s knees ever hurt?

"I beg the Princess to stay." Xiao Wu pleaded, "The Prince has been seriously injured, and I, lacking medical skills, fear I may not be able to take good care of him. Please, Princess, stay personally to attend to the Prince."

"Your Prince is already fine."

"I implore you, Princess." Xiao Wu kowtowed with a bang.

Ye Qichi was at a loss for words.

She turned her head to look at Xiao Jinxing.

Xiao Jinxing indeed looked alarmingly feeble at the moment.

But this was only temporary; there was no danger to his life.

Xiao Jinxing felt Ye Qichi’s gaze and looked over.

Their eyes met.

Xiao Jinxing suddenly closed his eyes.

Void of emotion.

But, he did not refuse.

Ye Qichi was all too familiar with Xiao Jinxing’s personality.

The things he wants, he wouldn’t speak of; but those he doesn’t want, he’d decisively reject.

So this guy.

Now wants her to stay.

Ye Qichi hesitated for a moment.

Considering the suffering Xiao Jinxing had caused her and seeing the great retribution he’s now facing, she suddenly didn’t feel quite as angry anymore.

She relented, "Fine."

"Thank you, Princess." Xiao Wu kowtowed again.

Ye Qichi was speechless once more.

Looking at Xiao Wu’s somewhat reddened forehead, she wondered if it didn’t hurt at all?!

And because her gaze was drawn by Xiao Wu, she missed seeing the man with closed eyes appear to show some emotional fluctuation after hearing her agreement.

"It so happens that the bathwater is nice; I’ll take a bath." Ye Qichi spoke plainly.

"..." Xiao Wu, petrified.

It was quite touching initially.

But with that, the Princess wasn’t staying for the Prince.

It was for that tub of water!

The man who had just felt some emotional fluctuation, upon hearing Ye Qichi’s words, his expression darkened again.

Ye Qichi, unaware of others’ emotions, eagerly said to Lu You, "Help me to bathe."

Lu You really was... frustrated beyond words.

Just when the Prince was beginning to have favorable feelings.

The Princess had to ruin it again.

Trying to bring the Prince and Princess together, the task is indeed arduous!

Lu You attended to the Princess for her bath.

Xiao Wu was also wiping the Prince’s body.

They got along quite harmoniously.

After her bath, Ye Qichi felt somewhat sleepy again.

Though she had a good sleep the previous afternoon, her sleep was delayed again at night, and now she wanted to catch up on some shut-eye after cleaning up.

She yawned.

Xiao Wu quickly asked, "Does the Princess wish to rest now?"

"Mm." Ye Qichi nodded.

"Then I will take my leave."

"Mm." Ye Qichi replied again.

Very comfortably, she walked towards Xiao Jinxing’s bed.

Xiao Jinxing seemed to part his lips, but perhaps it was just an illusion.

And then, he felt Ye Qichi lying down beside him.

"I will be outside behind the screen if you need anything," Xiao Wu hurriedly said after leaving.

"Has Xiao Jinxing taken his medicine?"

"Replying to the Princess, the Prince has already taken it."

"Then that’s good," Ye Qichi said, "You go rest too. If there’s anything, I’ll have Lu You call you."

Xiao Wu didn’t respond.

"In case Xiao Jinxing gets a fever again, or becomes agitated, it’s most important to conserve your strength," Ye Qichi advised.

"Yes, I shall now take my leave." Xiao Wu didn’t even seek the Prince’s opinion.

It seemed like he had become absolutely obedient to the Princess now.

After Xiao Wu left.

Ye Qichi said to Lu You, "You rest on the couch over there as well."

"Yes, Princess." Lu You quickly agreed.

With everyone taken care of.

Ye Qichi turned over, her back to Xiao Jinxing, and fell asleep.

As soon as she closed her eyes, she fell into a deep sleep almost instantly.

Xiao Jinxing soon became aware of Ye Qichi’s even breathing.

He, however, couldn’t sleep at all now.

Whether it was the pain or the fact that he had slept well the night before, he just couldn’t feel any hint of sleepiness.

And he couldn’t get out of bed either.

He couldn’t help but turn his head.

Initially laying face down, his head was turned away from Ye Qichi.

Now as he turned, he found himself looking at her, sleeping beside him.

They were not far apart.

In his breaths lingered the scent of Ye Qichi’s post-bathing freshness.

Clean and crisp, with a hint of fragrance.

Xiao Jinxing’s throat moved slightly.

His eyes locked onto the exposed, fair and delicate neck of Ye Qichi.

Suddenly, the image of Ye Qichi feeding him medicine the previous night flashed in his mind.

His consciousness should have been unclear.

He shouldn’t remember last night’s events, yet now, it all came back with terrifying clarity.

He could even recall the touch of her feeding him the medicine.

Not just the lips.

But also...

Xiao Jinxing felt a slight stir in his chest.

He abruptly turned his head back.

His face flushed, ears reddened.

His heartbeat, in that moment, quickened.

Even just for a moment, facing Ye Qichi’s tender neck, he felt a surge of impulse.

He suppressed the desire within him.

Struggling to remain calm.

In the effort to cool down, an image of Bai Mowan unexpectedly emerged in his mind.

It was as if his heart was struck hard.

Accompanied by a strong sense of guilt.

All desires dissipated in that moment, like smoke in the air.

The one he yearns for.

Will only be Bai Mowan.

For Ye Qichi... it was nothing more than a physical impulse.

And this impulse, would not have any effect on him.
