The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 116 - 76 Unusual Behavior

In the resting palace.

Ye Qichi was lying in bed, having woken up from a nap and finding herself unable to fall asleep again.

She was thinking about how she could return earlier.

And also thinking about how she could prevent her unique physical constitution from being exposed.

If the Imperial Physician were to examine her tomorrow and see that she had almost fully recovered, it would probably scare him to death!

Her thoughts made her somewhat distracted.

She sensed some movement outside the door.

She hadn’t actually heard anything, but somehow knew that it was Xiao Jinxing returning.

Ye Qichi hurriedly closed her eyes, feigning death.

Not wanting to see Xiao Jinxing or speak with him, it was better out of sight, out of mind.

Lu You saw the Princess in such a state and felt very helpless.

Why couldn’t the Princess take advantage of her weakness to act more affectionately towards the Prince?!

Don’t all men like women who appear a bit more frail?!

"Lu You greets the Prince." Lu You quickly greeted.

Xiao Jinxing, sitting in a wheelchair, looked at Ye Qichi lying on the bed, her face pale, and asked indifferently, "Is she dead?"

"..." Lu You suddenly felt like the Princess’s aversion to the Prince was justified.

Xiao Wu almost choked on his own saliva at the side.

Just recently, when the Prince was in the Cold Palace, he wasn’t so indifferent when mentioning the Princess.

How did he become so unapproachable upon seeing the Princess?

"You must wish I was dead!" Ye Qichi said coldly, without opening her eyes.

She also knew that Xiao Jinxing would not fail to notice her feigning sleep.

After all, Lu You was still properly by her side, and the candlelight had not been dimmed.

Xiao Jinxing did not respond to Ye Qichi, but coldly commanded, "Xiao Wu, you may leave now."

"At once, sir."

Xiao Wu left.

After he left, Xiao Jinxing wheeled his chair closer to the bed.

Ye Qichi only opened her eyes when she felt an oppressive presence from Xiao Jinxing approaching.

Upon opening her eyes, she met Xiao Jinxing’s gaze.

The coldness and dread in his eyes... What had triggered him?!

At that moment, she felt Xiao Jinxing’s hand near her back.

"What are you doing?!" Ye Qichi exclaimed in fright.

She had a feeling that Xiao Jinxing, in his current state, might kill someone at any moment!

"Prince." Lu You, observing Xiao Jinxing’s actions, was also frightened. She quickly knelt on the ground, urgently speaking, "The Princess is severely injured, please, Prince, do not touch the Princess’s wound. The Imperial Physician said if it bleeds significantly, it could endanger her life..."

Xiao Jinxing had already begun, tearing away at Ye Qichi’s clothes.

Ye Qichi gritted her teeth.

She indeed dared not move.

Although her wound was healing, if it were to break open and she could not stop the bleeding, with the sparse medical facilities and techniques of ancient times, there would be no saving her.

"Prince!" Lu You exclaimed in fright.

However, Xiao Jinxing acted as if he heard nothing, tearing open Ye Qichi’s clothing and then began tearing off the neatly wrapped bandages.

"Prince..." Lu You was really about to intervene.

It was then Xiao Jinxing coldly declared in a menacing tone, "Say one more word, and I will cut off your tongue!"

"..." Lu You was thoroughly frightened.

Although the Prince was usually unapproachable, he was never this terrifying.

Threatening to cut off her tongue wasn’t just an intimidation!

Ye Qichi also felt that Xiao Jinxing seemed different tonight from usual.

She gave a look to Lu You, signaling her not to make any rash moves.

She also kept silent herself, not provoking Xiao Jinxing any further.

After all, she was very aware of just how ruthless Xiao Jinxing could be.

Quiet in the sleeping palace.

Xiao Jinxing tore open Ye Qichi’s bandages.

Below the bandages, the bloody wound had begun scabbing over, the recovery speed astonishingly quick.

Xiao Jinxing just watched coldly, continuously watching.

Lu You truly did not know what the Prince was planning to do; just threatened by the Prince, she dared not speak any further, now only managing to hold back tears that kept falling.

"Ye Qichi." Xiao Jinxing suddenly called her out.

His voice cold and devoid of any warmth.

Ye Qichi pursed her lips.

Feeling it was wise not to provoke this madman at this moment.

So she opted to wait and see how things unfolded.

"Since your life is so tenacious, do not die so easily," Xiao Jinxing articulated slowly.

Ye Qichi frowned.

What in the world was he saying?!

Was he possessed?!

Or was there some underlying meaning?

Just when she couldn’t make any sense of it, after Xiao Jinxing looked at her wound and dropped such a remark, he suddenly began to rewrap her wound.

Although she couldn’t see, she could feel that Xiao Jinxing’s hands were very gentle, extremely careful not to touch her wound as he rewrapped it, helping her put on her clothes.
