The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 1070 - 661: Just Wanted to See Her Once More (Fourth Update)

Chapter 1070: Chapter 661: Just Wanted to See Her Once More (Fourth Update)

Inside the temple.

Xiao Jinxing was taking a walk in the courtyard with little Wu.

"Did His Majesty stay in the temple because of Doctor Feng?" Little Wu couldn’t help but ask.

He still thought that the emperor staying here was an injustice.

He and Pang Nan were also staying at the County Magistrate’s Mansion, but they frequently came here because Feng Xiyun was staying at the temple.

Xiao Jinxing’s eyes slightly moved, looking at little Wu.

Little Wu said respectfully, "I have no objections. I just think that if His Majesty is here because of Doctor Feng, I can arrange for Doctor Feng to go to the County Magistrate’s Mansion. Now Doctor Feng only needs to coordinate with Ali, he doesn’t need to communicate with other doctors, so it wouldn’t matter where he stays."

Xiao Jinxing listened to little Wu’s words, his gaze turned to the distance.

In the distance, toward the plague area.

He spoke lightly, "What do you think of Feng Xiyun as a person?"

Little Wu was taken aback.

He totally didn’t expect the emperor would suddenly ask him to judge Feng Xiyun.

Is the emperor starting to like Feng Xiyun?!

So he wants to ask for everyone’s opinion?!

"Speak freely, I won’t blame you for saying something wrong." Xiao Jinxing said directly.

Little Wu pursed his lips.

Since the emperor had said so.

He spoke candidly, "Doctor Feng is beautiful and kind-hearted, a good person."

Xiao Jinxing raised an eyebrow.

Perhaps he didn’t expect little Wu to have such a high opinion of Feng Xiyun.

Little Wu continued, "Before, I didn’t really understand Doctor Feng, just occasionally heard people in the palace mention Doctor Feng. They all said Doctor Feng was nice, but sometimes rumors aren’t always true, so I hadn’t fully believed it. Until these past few days, accompanying Doctor Feng to Changmen, witnessing his concern and urgency for the people there, enduring hardship to rescue plague patients promptly, that’s when I truly believed Doctor Feng is indeed a very good person."

"Is that so?" Xiao Jinxing murmured.

"Just now, Doctor Feng’s demeanor also made me feel that his character is quite upright." Little Wu supplemented.

Xiao Jinxing raised his brows.

"Any woman would feel admiration for His Majesty. Doctor Feng likely feels the same. But Doctor Feng hasn’t let his fondness for His Majesty distract him from his duties, nor has he clung to His Majesty excessively; instead, he actively pursued what he should do, prioritizing saving lives above all. From this aspect, I firmly believe, Doctor Feng must be a good person."

"Perhaps." Xiao Jinxing’s tone was indifferent.

Little Wu wasn’t certain if the emperor acknowledged his opinion.

Having grown up following His Majesty, he still couldn’t fathom the emperor’s thoughts.

"But little Wu, there was one thing you said incorrectly." Xiao Jinxing suddenly spoke.

Little Wu was puzzled.

What did he say wrong?!

"I’m not someone every woman in the world would admire."

"Your Majesty..."

"An Ning doesn’t like me." Xiao Jinxing stated bluntly.

Little Wu was speechless.

So the emperor is still deeply bothered by the Empress?!

In little Wu’s view, the Empress doesn’t dislike His Majesty; perhaps she couldn’t tolerate the emperor execution of Gu Xingchuan despite her plea because she loved him.

If the Empress didn’t have any expectations or feelings toward the emperor, why would she resent him so intensely?!

Of course.

Little Wu was merely guessing.

If one considers the emperor’s treatment of the Empress over those years, it’s only reasonable she would not love him.

Who would love a man who consistently wanted them dead.

If the Empress bore even a slight grudge, she wouldn’t have allowed herself to fall for His Majesty.

"I didn’t stay in the temple for Feng Xiyun." Responding to little Wu’s earlier question.

Little Wu was startled again.

Then for whom did His Majesty stay?!

Don’t tell him it’s just a whim.

"Actually, I believe it’d be quite good if His Majesty developed affection for Doctor Feng." Little Wu suddenly said.

Xiao Jinxing’s eyes slightly moved.

"The Empress left His Majesty half a year ago; if she intended to return, she would have by now. Half a year of absence means she’s probably not coming back. His Majesty should really forget about the Empress." Little Wu said sincerely.

Also feeling the emperor’s obsession with the Empress is excessively deep.

Fearing one day His Majesty might pass away in sorrow over this.

"I never thought she would return."

That’s why, even uncertainty of her presence didn’t deter him from this distant journey, even just to see her from afar.

Only under such coincidental circumstances would she not think he was intentional, thus wouldn’t reject or despise him.

"Then why not give yourself and Doctor Feng a chance?" Little Wu encouraged, "They say the best way to forget someone is to fall for another."

"I won’t fall for anyone else." Xiao Jinxing said firmly.

Except her.

There will be no one else.

"How can His Majesty know without trying?"

"No trial needed." Xiao Jinxing affirmed.

"Didn’t His Majesty previously like Bai Mowan? Then His Majesty shifted affection to the Empress." Little Wu said impulsively, words slipping out.

Xiao Jinxing’s eyes narrowed.

Little Wu frightenedly dropped to his knees.

He regretted the instant he spoke.

How dare he imply His Majesty was fickle?!

Ten heads wouldn’t be enough to sever.

Luckily, Pang Nan approached swiftly, respectfully said, "Your Majesty, the rooms are prepared, His Majesty may retire."

Xiao Jinxing glanced at little Wu kneeling.

Little Wu trembled with fear.

Xiao Jinxing said nothing, and turned to leave.

Little Wu took a deep breath, almost scared to death.

"Lord Wu, did you upset the emperor?" Pang Nan asked quietly.

His Majesty’s expression had been atrocious.

Little Wu still felt uneasy, nodding, "Fortunately you arrived in time, otherwise I’d likely lose my head."

"..." That serious?!

Little Wu didn’t explain further, quickly followed His Majesty’s pace.

...

Inside the plague quarantine area.

An Ning had finished diagnosing all patients and was meticulously summarizing the cases and prescriptions.

"Doctor." A soldier approached her.

"Hmm?" An Ning didn’t lift her head, responding while continuing to write.

A bit impatient with the interruption.

"You should have dinner." The soldier said respectfully.

"Leave it there, I’ll eat later."

"However, orders are to ensure you dine first." The soldier said hesitantly.

An Ning showed annoyance.

Looking up at the soldier.

"I’m just following orders from above." The soldier said, slightly guilty under her gaze.

He knew the doctor worked hard, didn’t want interruptions.

But outside it was made clear, he must ensure she ate first.

He didn’t understand why?! Just executing orders mattered.
