The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 20 - : Strategizing (3) Counter-planning

What a way to die.

Suddenly, Xiao Jinxing's voice came from inside the house, "Xiao Wu!"

"Present, Prince." Xiao Wu bowed his head low, wishing he could bury it in the ground.

"Who has come?"

"It's the Princess." Xiao Wu replied.

No sooner had he spoken,

Ye Qichi directly walked in.

At this moment, Xiao Jinxing had already bathed and changed, his hair let down, wearing only a white inner layer. His expression turned sour at the sight of Ye Qichi.

"Just a few words." Ye Qichi was straightforward.

She knew this man disliked her, and she didn't want to make a fool of herself, especially since there was still much to do tonight!

"First, do not eat anything that anyone brings you later. I won't explain in detail, but it's nothing good, either trickery or theft."

Xiao Jinxing's eyes grew tense, slightly surprised by An Ning's warning, yet his face remained indifferent and cold.

"Second, I need to borrow your Xiao Wu tonight." Ye Qichi was concise.

At this moment, Xiao Wu had just walked into the room.

Upon hearing the Princess's words, he almost choked on his own saliva.

Xiao Jinxing shot him a look.

Xiao Wu immediately knelt down on the ground.

This Princess is going to get herself killed; don't drag the innocent into this!

"Why should I lend you Xiao Wu for a night?" Xiao Jinxing asked, his tone refusing.

"Interested in winning over my father?" Ye Qichi cut to the chase.

Xiao Jinxing furrowed his brow.

His scrutiny of Ye Qichi sharpened, marking an increased guard.

"But first, I need to win over my father. Lend me Xiao Wu tonight, and in the future, I'll ensure my father's loyalty to you," An Ning said clearly.

Xiao Jinxing just coldly watched the woman before him.

It wasn't the first time he found her change startling, almost believing that the person before him was no longer the same Ye Qichi.

Ye Qichi knew this man was deeply skeptical, born into the Emperor's family, none were simple-hearted.

She let him size her up, waiting for him to decide.

Thus, for quite a while.

Xiao Jinxing said, "Should he go with you now?"

Asking if he should take Xiao Wu away right now.

Ye Qichi's lips curled into a smile.

Xiao Jinxing, this man, really held his ground, making a deal with her without knowing everything.

Isn't he afraid that she would send away a top expert like Xiao Wu and then plot to kill him?!

You must know his archenemy, the Prince of Chu, is currently winning over the Minister of Rites! Isn't he worried she's a spy sent by the Prince of Chu?!

"Two hours later, have him come find me in my courtyard," Ye Qichi didn't beat around the bush.

"Mm," Xiao Jinxing responded with a hum, agreeing.

Ye Qichi, having achieved her objective, turned to leave.

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

Ye Qichi turned around.

"Who made you wear that?!" Xiao Jinxing asked sharply.

Xiao Wu knelt on the ground, burying his head even deeper.

He saw nothing, didn't see the Princess dressed in alluring splendor.

Ye Qichi looked down at her own clothes.

Nothing was exposed, though it was a mesh dress, only the arms and calves were transparent, the rest were lined, these ancients really, unreasonable.

"You don't like it?" Ye Qichi suddenly grinned mischievously, on purpose.

Xiao Jinxing's face grew even darker.

"Thinking, since I've come in the middle of the night, might as well try seducing you..."

"Ye Qichi!" Xiao Jinxing raised his voice loudly.

Lu You at the side jumped in fright.

At that moment, he suddenly knelt on the ground, his body trembling.

Oh my goodness, can the Princess act normal for once!

"If you don't like it, just say so. Why do you have to yell?" Ye Qichi rolled her eyes and said to the terrified Lu You beside her, "Let's go."

Then she strutted off.

After she left, it seemed as if the room was still filled with blazing anger.

Xiao Wu kneeled on the ground, not daring to stand up.

Until, outside the room, a voice suddenly rang out, "May I ask if the Prince has gone to sleep? I have brought some health soup for the Prince."

Xiao Jinxing gave Xiao Wu a look.

Xiao Wu hurriedly got up and walked to the door, "Who brought it over?"

"It's from the concubine's daughter. The lady heard that the Prince drank alcohol tonight and was afraid that the Prince wouldn't sleep well, so she specifically sent a servant to bring the health soup to sober up and aid the Prince's sleep."

"Give it to me." Xiao Wu took it.

"The servant will wait at the door. After the Prince has finished, the servant will take the dishes back to the kitchen, not disturbing the Prince's rest." The maid spoke respectfully.

Xiao Wu nodded slightly.

He carried the health soup into the room and closed the door.

Xiao Wu placed the soup bowl on the table, took out a brocade pouch from inside his clothes, then pulled out a silver needle.

Observing the reaction on the silver needle, Xiao Wu walked to Xiao Jinxing and reported, "It should be Mihyang."

Xiao Jinxing's eyes narrowed.

At that moment, he remembered what Ye Qichi had said.

This woman, has she really become smarter?!

"Prince, what should we do now?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Since Ye Qichi wants to turn her own stratagem against her, let's just play along."

He really wanted to see, what Ye Qichi was up to!

Xiao Jinxing instructed, "Throw out the soup, and give the bowl back to the maid to return it."

"Yes."

Xiao Wu followed Xiao Jinxing's order and handed the empty bowl to the maid.

After the maid took it, she went straight to Ye Zhilan's courtyard to report, "Miss, the Prince has already drunk it."

"Are you sure?" Ye Zhilan couldn't believe it.

She had put a lot of effort into making Ye Qichi drink the soup, but due to the propriety between men and women, she couldn't go directly to Prince's courtyard and had to send a servant instead. Now that it went so smoothly, it really surprised her.

"The servant is sure." The maid quickly affirmed.

"Alright, you may leave."

"Yes."

Ye Zhilan smirked sinisterly.

After tonight, tomorrow will completely turn over a new leaf—it will be her world!

...

Xiao Wu arrived at Ye Qichi's courtyard two hours later.

"Did someone send supper for your Prince?" Ye Qichi asked.

"The concubine's daughter had the servant send soup."

Ye Qichi sneered.

Just as she had expected.

Ye Zhilan, precisely Zhou Ruotang is truly bold.

While wanting to ruin her reputation, she also wished to push Ye Zhilan into Xiao Jinxing's bed. Once something happens, even if Xiao Jinxing doesn't wed Ye Zhilan, he has to... It really is a "good deed" that kills two birds with one stone!

Ye Qichi's eyes shifted, then she asked, "Did he drink it?"

"The Prince did not."

It seems Xiao Jinxing isn't so foolish.

It's not just because she reminded him, even without a reminder he wouldn't be unguarded.

"Xiao Wu, it all depends on you tonight," Ye Qichi suddenly said solemnly.

Xiao Wu was puzzled, but somehow felt that a significant event was about to occur tonight.

Ye Qichi sneered coldly.

What does "self-destruction" mean? Tomorrow, Zhou Ruotang and her daughter will profoundly understand!
