The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 194 - 95: Trip to Chongqing (16) Xiao Jinsen’s Cunning, Danger Approaches_3

Chapter 194: Chapter 95: Trip to Chongqing (16) Xiao Jinsen’s Cunning, Danger Approaches_3

Such a sight surely indicates that something major has happened.

"It’s bad news; Chen Hezhi has suddenly sent people to burn down the epidemic quarantine zone!" Xiao Wu reported, "The Princess is still inside!"

Xiao Jinxing’s expression changed drastically in that moment.

The first thing he thought of was certainly not that Ye Qichi was still inside.

What he was considering was why Chen Hezhi would suddenly make such a move?!

For so long, he hadn’t utterly wiped out the plague victims, obviously waiting for Xiao Jinsen to handle it, but now with Xiao Jinsen not yet in Yuzhou City, Chen Hezhi suddenly took this action... Undoubtedly, it must be Xiao Jinsen’s order.

But why would Xiao Jinxing eradicate everyone before his merits have been established? What on earth is his purpose?!

Seeing the Prince remaining silent, Xiao Wu became anxious.

Unable to help himself, he asked, "Prince, should I go rescue the Princess from the quarantine zone right now? What if the Princess gets burned to death?!"

As he spoke.

Xiao Wu was so impatient that he didn’t wait for Xiao Jinxing’s approval before turning to leave.

"Wait." Xiao Jinxing suddenly called out to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu dared not leave.

"First, go find Pang Nan and tell him to rush to the quarantine zone immediately and delay Chen Hezhi’s actions, by any means necessary, until the Bai Family’s troops arrive!" Xiao Jinxing said urgently and swiftly.

In that brief moment, he had already understood Xiao Jinsen’s intentions.

Xiao Jinsen wanted to frame him with the crime of mass murdering the populace.

Clearly, Xiao Jinsen had discovered his plan, and knowing it was too late for many things as they were already decided, he attempted to sabotage his plan by all means.

Ultimately, he would rather destroy him completely without gaining any benefits for himself!

Within the Emperor’s family, there’s never been such things as kinship, only power!

Xiao Jinxing didn’t show much emotional turbulence as he spoke sternly to Xiao Wu, "After you’ve informed Pang Nan, ride with all haste to join the Bai Family’s army; lead a detachment of the Bai Family elite into attacking the city. At all costs, we must get a part of the troops into Yuzhou City in the shortest time. We must stop Chen Hezhi’s brutality; there can be no failure!"

"But the Princess..." Xiao Wu’s mind was still occupied by Ye Qichi!

"You don’t need to worry about Ye Qichi!" Xiao Jinxing said coldly, "Just do what I have commanded."

Xiao Wu was clearly reluctant.

Xiao Jinxing stared coldly at Xiao Wu.

Biting his teeth, Xiao Wu finally compromised, "As you command!"

Then he turned and walked away.

He wanted to insist that the Prince must save the Princess, but he swallowed his words.

Whether the Prince wanted to save the Princess depended on whether saving her would affect the Prince’s plan.

If it did... the Prince would not sacrifice his ambitions for the Princess!

Xiao Wu could only hope that the Princess could protect herself!

...

Inside the temple.

Ye Qichi had slept for quite a long time.

Upon opening her eyes, she saw Xiao Xi guarding by her side.

Except for the first night when Xiao Xi stayed with her mother, for the past two days, she had been by Ye Qichi’s side.

Helping Ye Qichi with all sorts of tasks.

Originally, Ye Qichi wanted to send her to the uncontaminated quarantine zone in the rear courtyard, but Xiao Xi outright refused.

She said that since her sister could cure the plague, she was not afraid of infection.

Because her sister had saved her mother, she wanted to stay by her sister’s side and help her with her work.

Ye Qichi indeed needed an assistant, and after thinking it over, she let Xiao Xi stay.

Fortunately, Xiao Xi truly helped her a lot.

While treating with blood, it was Xiao Xi who shielded her from the eyes of others, and Xiao Xi who helped feed the blood mixture to the others.

The girl was diligent and sensible—Ye Qichi genuinely liked her from the bottom of her heart.

"Sister, you’re awake," Xiao Xi said with a beaming smile.

"How long did I sleep?" Ye Qichi asked.

"I’m not sure," Xiao Xi confessed her lack of concept of time, "but you must’ve slept for a long while. When you fell asleep, it wasn’t even dark yet, and now it has been dark for a long, long time."

"Is that so?" Ye Qichi rubbed her body.

Having slept against the wall, she woke up with her whole body aching.

"Sister, have some food." Xiao Xi quickly presented a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun in front of her.

Ye Qichi looked down and saw.

With one look, she knew that the porridge and bun amounted to the portions of at least five people inside.

"Why so much?" Ye Qichi inquired.

"They said you’ve worked hard and wanted you to eat more."

"If I eat this, what will you do?"

"We’ll make do with less," Xiao Xi hurriedly insisted, "Sister, don’t be polite, please eat quickly. You’ll have the energy to treat everyone after eating. Didn’t you say that if all goes well, the medicine would arrive today or tomorrow? Once the medicine arrives, you’ll be busy again. When busy, there will be no time to rest, so how can you manage without replenishing your strength?"
