The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 1030 - 621: Negotiations Again (Fourth Update)

Chapter 1030: Chapter 621: Negotiations Again (Fourth Update)

An Ning watched the interaction between Xiao Jinxing and Feng Xiyun.

She observed the worry in Xiao Jinxing’s expression.

Actually, she woke up when Xiao Jinxing got out of bed.

Covered in sweat, she felt significantly relieved.

However, because she sweated so much, her body was quite weak.

So she stayed lying in bed, motionless, and no one noticed her.

"Why is your body also somewhat hot?" Xiao Jinxing asked.

"Your servant is not feverish," Feng Xiyun hurriedly replied.

It seemed she didn’t want Xiao Jinxing to worry, yet she was actually hinting something to him.

Xiao Jinxing frowned.

He reached out and touched Feng Xiyun’s forehead.

Clearly hotter than a normal person’s temperature.

Feng Xiyun’s face noticeably flushed.

Her eyes lowered.

She seemed a little shy about Xiao Jinxing’s approach.

An Ning watched quietly.

She watched their intimacy with indifference.

Thinking deeply about it, Xiao Jinxing should have directly brought Feng Xiyun into the harem. After all, they warmed each other at the border, even if nothing substantial happened, they had some skin contact, and Xiao Jinxing, as a man, should take responsibility.

Is it because he’s afraid that if Feng Xiyun entered the harem, Xiao Jinxing wouldn’t favor the harem, causing her grievance, so he let her enter the Imperial Hospital?!

An Ning thought indifferently.

Then she heard Xiao Jinxing say coldly, "If you’re unwell, you should speak up sooner. Since the Empress’s condition has improved, you don’t have to attend to her constantly. You should rest and recover your health first."

"But the Empress still hasn’t fully recovered, I’m worried if the Empress’s condition relapses..."

"I will make arrangements," Xiao Jinxing’s tone brooked no argument.

"Yes, as Your Majesty commands." Feng Xiyun, feeling uneasy, could only submit.

Xiao Jinxing instructed Chamberlain Ping, "Arrange for someone to escort Imperial Physician Feng out of the palace."

"Your servant obeys," Chamberlain Ping said respectfully. "Imperial Physician Feng, this way please."

Feng Xiyun bowed to Xiao Jinxing, "Your servant takes leave."

Xiao Jinxing nodded slightly.

He watched Feng Xiyun’s departing figure.

As he turned back.

An Ning had already closed her eyes, pretending to still be asleep.

Xiao Jinxing looked at her sleeping form, rose, and left as well.

After he left, An Ning opened her eyes again.

She got up.

The Palace Attendant quickly approached, "Your Highness, have you thanked him?"

"Much better," An Ning replied. "Bring the paper and ink."

"What does Your Highness want to do?"

"Prepare the medicine according to my prescription," An Ning stated directly.

"Yes."

An Ning reluctantly wrote the prescription.

Feng Xiyun’s prescription obviously lacked an herb, which is why it took so long for her fever to subside, and even now, the fever reduction is temporary, and it will recur soon, unable to consolidate the improvement.

An Ning didn’t know if Feng Xiyun’s medical skills were limited or if there was something else...

Without fully understanding this person, she didn’t want to speculate about this woman now.

Once she finished writing the prescription.

The Palace Attendant quickly arranged for it to be decocted.

An Ning ate some plain porridge, intent on getting out of bed to move around when the Medicinal Food Room brought the decocted medicine, "Your Highness, Imperial Physician Feng instructed the decoction be brought to you."

"Leave it," An Ning instructed.

And didn’t directly refuse, it was also to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Thinking to have it discarded once the Palace Attendant left.

"Your Highness, the Emperor has ordered that the servant can’t leave until seeing Your Highness drink it," the Palace Attendant said tremblingly.

An Ning frowned.

Of course, she couldn’t drink two doses of medicine; it’s harmful to the body. Besides, her body was already weak and couldn’t withstand such a strain.

She stated directly, "Just say that I’ve recovered and don’t need to drink the medicine anymore, take it away."

The Palace Attendant naturally didn’t dare to say more.

Respectfully left.

Before long.

Xiao Jinxing arrived.

An Ning had anticipated he would come.

About to explain face to face, Xiao Jinxing directly commanded, "Give me the medicine."

An Ning looked at him.

Looked at his clearly cold face.

Xiao Jinxing took the medicine, "Drink it yourself, or should I feed you."

"Xiao Jinxing..."

"Drink the medicine first and talk later," Xiao Jinxing interrupted her directly.

"Aren’t you..." An Ning started.

"Drink the medicine!" Xiao Jinxing’s voice deepened noticeably.

An Ning stared coldly.

Is it that if she doesn’t drink Feng Xiyun’s medicine, Xiao Jinxing won’t even speak to her?!

She gritted her teeth.

Grabbed the bowl of medicine from Xiao Jinxing’s hand and gulped it down in large swallows.

Very bitter.

But it seemed not to matter.

Xiao Jinxing watched An Ning drink it all without hesitating.

His brows tightened again.

He had tasted the medicine before, when feeding her, he could taste how bitter it was; he knew how bitter it was.

Yet he didn’t expect her to drink it all at once without blinking.

He pursed his lips.

"Can I speak now?" An Ning asked him.

"What do you want to say?" Xiao Jinxing asked, instructing someone to take the bowl away.

"I didn’t want to keep disturbing Your Majesty, but since he’s come personally, I’ll speak plainly," An Ning began. "Yesterday I called Song Yanqing over, and Song Yanqing said, given the current situation, Gu Xingchuan is certain to die."

Xiao Jinxing eyed An Ning.

On and on, it’s always about Gu Xingchuan.

Everything is about Gu Xingchuan.

Being sick too.

Recovering too.

"But that day, Your Majesty made it clear that with Your Majesty’s status and power, saving Gu Xingchuan isn’t impossible. As long as Your Majesty intends to protect him, Gu Xingchuan can live," An Ning stated clearly.

After discussing with Song Yanqing yesterday, she realized that aside from using forceful methods, there was no way to save Gu Xingchuan, and with winter soon passing, Xiao Jinxing would soon execute Gu Xingchuan, she couldn’t delay any longer.

"Why would I protect him?" Xiao Jinxing asked An Ning. "For someone who betrayed me, why should I oppose the world for him?!"

"Exchange me for him," An Ning stated word by word.

Xiao Jinxing laughed coldly, his laugh was icy.

"As long as Your Majesty spares Gu Xingchuan, I’ll wholeheartedly stay in the palace with Your Majesty, stabilize governance, govern the realm."

"An Ning, do you really think I can’t do without you?" Xiao Jinxing asked her mockingly.

"I never thought Your Majesty couldn’t do without me. Before me, Your Majesty had Bai Mowan. After me, Your Majesty has Feng Xiyun. I’ve never been Your Majesty’s only one," An Ning said calmly, without much emotional fluctuation.

Xiao Jinxing’s gaze grew colder as he looked at her.

"But Your Majesty knows I have excellent medical skills, exceptional strategy, can help ease your burdens. Moreover, with the loss of an advisor like Gu Xingchuan, Your Majesty needs talent to replace. So, keeping me by Your Majesty’s side is more beneficial than harmful," An Ning looked at Xiao Jinxing, sincerely reiterating, "As long as Your Majesty spares Gu Xingchuan, I’m willing to serve Your Majesty for life, help stabilize political turmoil, assist Your Majesty to become a wise ruler."
