The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 1050 - 641: Sadness Flows Upstream (Fourth Update)

Chapter 1050: Chapter 641: Sadness Flows Upstream (Fourth Update)

An Ning reached out.

Her fingers touched Gu Xingchuan’s cold cheek.

Gu Xingchuan lowered his eyes.

Unprepared, a tear fell onto An Ning’s finger.

It seemed there was still warmth.

"I’m sorry," An Ning apologized.

I’m sorry.

This is her only regret towards him in this lifetime.

The letters she passed did not save his name; instead, they left him utterly battered, disgraced.

Gu Xingchuan shook his head.

Silently shook his head...

At that moment, he felt a cool pair of lips pressed against his cheek.

Gu Xingchuan pressed his lips together.

His whole body was tense.

Heartache unbearable.

An Ning should not kiss him.

The etiquette should not...

His eyes shifted slightly.

Seeing afar, at the end of the prison, a black and yellow figure, standing tall, looking down upon the earth.

He could stand at the highest place, possess the greatest power.

But he cannot have her.

Xiao Jinxing looked on silently, at An Ning’s sadness, An Ning’s despair, her hopelessness towards Gu Xingchuan...

She can love anyone.

She will not love him.

He turned and left.

Leaving indifferently.

He actually shouldn’t have come.

It’s just that there’s always some expectation.

He walked out of the Heavenly Prison.

After tomorrow, everything will settle into dust.

In the cell.

An Ning’s lips left Gu Xingchuan’s cheek.

As they parted.

Both, tears streaming down their faces.

An Ning said, "In the future, I will take good care of myself."

"Okay."

"You..." The words on An Ning’s lips hesitated, then stopped.

What to say.

Rest in peace?!

It always feels that every word is so cruel.

The two silently looked at each other.

Silently, without words.

The next morning.

Footsteps sounded outside.

An Ning’s body moved slightly.

She stayed with Gu Xingchuan for a whole night.

Time, so fast.

So soon, it’s time to part.

"My lady," Xiao Wu respectfully said, "Lord Gu should be on his way."

A single "should be on his way."

Broke her completely, yet she forced herself to be strong.

She feared Gu Xingchuan would leave feeling upset.

She just silently watched Gu Xingchuan.

Watched as someone unlocked his chains.

In the Heavenly Prison for over ten months, for the first time, the heavy chains were removed.

She watched as he was helped to stand.

Weak to the point he could no longer walk.

"Xingchuan," An Ning called him.

"An Ning." Gu Xingchuan turned, looked back at An Ning who was deeply watching him from behind, he said, "Goodbye."

Goodbye.

Never again!

Gu Xingchuan was taken away.

An Ning remained in the Heavenly Prison.

Just because Gu Xingchuan said, don’t let her see him after his head falls.

She must preserve Gu Xingchuan’s initial pride, his final dignity.

An Ning’s vision blurred.

Tears rolled one by one down her cheeks.

Only at the true moment of departure did she realize that all the mental preparation was in vain.

The true sadness at this moment could truly utterly destroy a person’s sanity...

"My lady," the Palace Attendant looked at the Empress’s appearance, couldn’t help calling her.

Just felt her sadness was too great.

So sad, it seemed, she had departed from this world.

An Ning’s eyes moved slightly.

A movement.

The tears flowed even more freely.

Seemingly unable to stop.

She took her steps, leaving.

Left this gloomy and damp Heavenly Prison. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Suddenly felt, this place was so empty.

Empty to the point of suffocation.

An Ning walked out, step by step.

Indeed, there was no sun outside.

No sunlight Gu Xingchuan wished to see.

The gloomy sky, covered in dark clouds.

In the season of Qingming, the heartbroken wander far away...

"My lady... my lady!"

The Palace Attendants were all in panic.

An Ning fell heavily.

For the first time, overwhelmed by grief, to the point where she truly couldn’t support herself any longer.

Gu Xingchuan...

Such a pure, transcendent man...

Is no more...

Death truly is the most cruel thing in the world.

And she goes through it again and again.

Experiencing the departure of the most important people in her life, over and over...

...

After Gu Xingchuan died.

An Ning slept for three days and nights.

Constantly murmuring, constantly disoriented, constantly crying...

The Imperial Physicians in the palace were all at a loss.

Xiao Jinxing just watched An Ning, watching her grief-stricken, fragile state.

Aren’t you, very capable of taking care of yourself?!

Aren’t you, able to live well alone?!

Gu Xingchuan’s death, made you this sad?

Sad to the point of choosing such a way to escape reality.

"Your Majesty," Feng Xiyun respectfully approached, speaking sincerely, "The Empress’s condition is caused by a broken heart, not physical ailment. I prepare medicine for the Empress daily, as long as she takes it, her body won’t be in serious trouble. The Empress will recover once she wakes from her grief, and she won’t be harmed. However, Your Majesty’s constant presence affects your health; please return to rest. I swear to take good care of the Empress, please rest assured."

With Feng Xiyun’s words.

The other Imperial Physicians also knelt on the ground, "Please, Your Majesty, prioritize your health, we are determined to care for the Empress, please retire to rest."

The room was full of people, except for the Imperial Physicians.

The other guards and Palace Attendants also knelt on the ground.

Eunuch Ping also looked anxious, "Your Majesty, the Empress has slept for three days, you’ve accompanied for three days. If the Empress wakes and you collapse, what would we do then? I humbly request Your Majesty to close your eyes for a while, then return to the Empress’s side. Your constant watch won’t necessarily wake the Empress. If she truly awakens, I will certainly notify Your Majesty immediately."

Xiao Jinxing tightened his lips.

But his eyes always stayed on An Ning’s pale cheek.

An Ning.

Is this your punishment to me?!

Because I killed Gu Xingchuan, you use this way to retaliate against me!

"Your Majesty," Feng Xiyun gathered courage to speak again, "The Empress’s persistent sleep is due to a heartache that originated because..."

Feng Xiyun hesitated.

Xiao Jinxing turned his gaze towards her, signaling her to speak.

Feng Xiyun gritted her teeth, spoke at the risk of her life, "The Empress’s heartache is because Your Majesty ordered the execution of Gu Xingchuan. The Empress probably doesn’t want to see Your Majesty right now. I think, if Your Majesty sincerely sympathizes with the Empress and doesn’t want her to suffer, please leave her side, perhaps... she might wake up sooner."

Xiao Jinxing felt a slight pain in his chest.

Is it true?!

Because he was always there, An Ning didn’t want to wake up.

Because she didn’t want to see him, she let herself fall into such a deep sleep.

Used this way to reject him.

"Your Majesty, please listen to Physician Feng. Regardless of whether the Empress truly thinks this way, given her persistent sleep, Your Majesty’s presence also doesn’t help, it’s better to try what Physician Feng suggests, perhaps it might wake the Empress up?" Eunuch Ping quickly said.

Also eagerly wished to urge the Emperor to leave as soon as possible.

If this continues, the Empress will be fine, but the Emperor might truly pass away!

Xiao Jinxing’s Adam’s apple bobbed.

An Ning.

If this is truly your wish.

Then I shall, comply with you!
