The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 2 - : Retreat is the Best Option

The night at Prince Chen's Mansion.

The guard brought the Imperial Physician, hurrying to push open the door. As soon as he entered, he immediately turned back, also closing the door behind him, his actions fluid and swift.

But just after that brief moment, his breathing was somewhat heavy and his face a bit flushed.

The Imperial Physician was no longer a young man, and even he blushed at the scene he had glimpsed.

After a good while, he finally spoke up, "Wasn't it said that the Princess suffered from heart disease? What the Prince and the Princess..."

The Imperial Physician could not bring himself to finish.

Nor could the guard.

He certainly couldn't say that his Prince was... desecrating a corpse, could he?!

Having followed the Prince for so many years since he was a child, he didn't expect the Prince to possess such a perverse hobby?!

The guard and the Imperial Physician stood at the door, making big eyes at small eyes, neither daring to enter nor to leave.

Only from inside the room, noises continued all through the night.

...

The next day, early morning.

Ye Qichi definitely didn't wake up naturally.

Her body ached all over, as if she had been run over by wheels, only wishing to sleep herself to death.

It was just that in her sleep, she was suddenly choked by a vine around her neck, making it impossible for her to breathe. She struggled continually, but no matter how she struggled, it seemed she could not grasp anything, unabile to get rid of the vine on her neck.

Ye Qichi was scared and abruptly opened her eyes.

The moment she opened her eyes, she was even more terrified.

From a close distance, was a grim and cold-blooded face, with an expression that seemed to wish for her death.

The reason she felt suffocated was that he was choking her neck.

Damn it.

Xiao Jinxing, this maniac.

So early in the morning, he's already starting to kill someone.

Desperately trying to resist, Ye Qichi found her neck was being clutched so tightly that she couldn't push him away due to his immense strength.

Seeing that she was truly about to be killed by Xiao Jinxing, Ye Qichi suddenly lifted a foot.

The man who had been pressing on her up until a moment ago suddenly changed color drastically.

Ye Qichi struck right in the center.

The man nearly passed out from the pain.

But the pain made him loosen his grip, and the next second swiftly covered his injured part, his face twisted.

Ye Qichi quickly climbed out of bed, keeping a few steps away from this lunatic.

"Ye Qichi, you dare to launch a sneak attack on this Prince!" Xiao Jinxing roared at her, grinding his teeth.

If I don't sneak attack you, I'll be a corpse by now.

Ye Qichi wasn't in the mood for wasting words with Xiao Jinxing.

Right now, the best strategy was to escape.

Nobody knows what kind of murderous act this maniac will commit in the next second.

Ye Qichi immediately ran towards the door.

"You stop right there for this Prince!" Xiao Jinxing raged frantically.

His level of fury at that moment made Ye Qichi involuntarily hesitate in her steps.

Anyway, with Xiao Jinxing's disability, he couldn't chase her down from bed to kill her.

She looked back at Xiao Jinxing, "What does the Prince command?"

"Put on your clothes properly before you leave!" Xiao Jinxing ordered.

Only then did Ye Qichi realize that her body... to say she was stark naked wouldn't be true, but she was hardly covered.

The man last night who verbally refused her, his body was more honest than anyone's.

Ye Qichi clenched her teeth.

This maniac, even wanting to kill her, still cared about whether she was dressed or not?!

His thought process was indeed peculiar.

Ye Qichi ran back, picked up the clothes on the floor, and the overly complex garments, let alone put on, she even doubted how Xiao Jinxing managed to take them off last night.

"Aren't you putting them on yet?!" Xiao Jinxing seemed to have recovered from his bodily pain.

He gracefully sat up from the bed.

His jet-black hair slid across his face and fell on his exposed collarbone. The image somehow felt a little... seductively cheap.

Ye Qichi's eyes paused for a moment.

Since waking up last night, she had been living in a hurry, without the chance to have a clear look at Xiao Jinxing's face.

The book only mentioned that Xiao Jinxing had a face like powdered jade, lips like they were brushed with rouge, a charming gaze when he glanced around, and a graceful air about his brow. They say a single pear blossom could overshadow the flowering crabapples, and his natural elegance surpassed even that of the ancient heartthrob Pan An, something that must be experienced to be understood, beyond the power of words.

So it was true that words failed to capture his devastatingly good looks.

No matter how beautiful or splendid the phrase, none seemed to befit the man standing before her.

But Ye Qichi's momentary stupor wasn't just from being stunned by beauty.

She had never imagined that this man would look exactly like her first love.

She thought the face she saw when she opened her eyes last night was just an illusion.

"Ye Qichi!" Xiao Jinxing, with An Ning's straightforward gaze on him, his face darkened.

Ye Qichi returned to her senses.

She swallowed her tears silently.

Her mouth even curved into a light smile, as if to camouflage her emotions.

How could she have expected that the man could traverse through books even in death!

Where in the world could such good fortune be found?

She pressed her lips together lightly, regaining her composure.

That brief lapse into uncontrolled emotion now seemed like a mere illusion.

Xiao Jinxing couldn't help but frown slightly.

Since when had this woman managed to control her emotions so freely?

Normally, everything was written all over her face; she never knew how to mask her feelings.

"I can't put it on," said Ye Qichi. "Would you help me, then?"

"Are you rebelling?! What makes you think you can order this prince to dress you?" Xiao Jinxing exploded in anger, his expression suggesting that An Ning had insulted his dignity.

"Whoever undid it should redress it! Didn't your mother teach you to finish what you start?!" Ye Qichi, too, was inflamed by Xiao Jinxing's foul temper.

As soon as the words fell.

Ye Qichi noticed that something had changed in Xiao Jinxing's expression.

He was staring at her fiercely, his clenched fists revealing bulging veins, the joints turning pale.

This guy.

Was angry.

And not just a little angry.

Ye Qichi knew that staying under others' roofs, preserving one's life was the most important.

She quickly picked up her clothes and put them on haphazardly; they were in disarray but at least on, and after that, she ran out, rudely opening the door.

Outside, the sleepy guards and the Imperial Physician, upon hearing the door, instantly straightened their bodies.

The guard's eyes nearly popped out when he saw Ye Qichi.

Princess, princess, could it be... she resurrected from the dead?!

Didn't they... desecrate the corpse last night?!

"Princess, the Prince said you had a heart attack, may I diagnose you?" the Imperial Physician bowed.

Ye Qichi stopped in her tracks.

In the book, after Ye Qichi died, the Imperial Physician had examined her, and Xiao Jinxing had put on a show of being heartbroken. At the time she read the book, she didn't resonate with it—since Ye Qichi didn't have much of a storyline, she felt no emotional connection to him. At this moment, however, she suddenly felt that it was seriously unjust for Ye Qichi.

To think that in the original text, Ye Qichi loved Xiao Jinxing so much!

"You're the one with heart disease, your whole family has heart disease!" Ye Qichi, too annoyed to deal with it, dropped the line and strode off.

"..."

"Xiao Wu!" Inside, a cold voice suddenly called out.

The guard hurriedly responded, "Yes, Prince."

Then he quickly entered the room.

Inside, the room was a mess. If it weren't for the fact that the Princess had come out alive and well, Xiao Wu would have really believed that his prince had some peculiar tastes.

"Prince." Xiao Wu knelt down to pay homage.

"Send a bowl of birth control soup to Ye Qichi," Xiao Jinxing ordered.

"Yes." Xiao Wu took the order without daring to ask any further questions.

But his curiosity was piqued even more: What on earth happened after he left last night?!

How did the Prince and the Princess end up in the same bed?

And after this, were they supposed to still assassinate the Princess?!
