The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 282 - 117 Xiao Jinsen’s Unusual Emotions Towards Ye Qichi_3

Chapter 282: Chapter 117 Xiao Jinsen’s Unusual Emotions Towards Ye Qichi_3

It is clear that Xiao Jinxing’s stratagems are transparent to them.

"Xiao Jinxing is definitely no simple character!" Xiao Jinsen concludes.

The words he speaks are through gritted teeth.

If only they had known.

When Xiao Jinxing was still disabled, they should have taken the opportunity to get rid of him.

At that time, the Emperor had no affection for Xiao Jinxing at all; his death would have been inconsequential.

Now, however, that opportunity has been missed.

"So what do we do now?" Zhao Mengyu asks Xiao Jinsen, "Just let Xiao Jinxing keep being no simple character?!"

"No, not exactly," Xiao Jinsen says coldly, "We can’t touch Xiao Jinxing now because he has won the Emperor’s favor; we mustn’t act rashly. But once Xiao Jinxing loses his power, we can easily kill him."

"How will he lose his power?"

"This trip to Yuzhou, the greatest credit doesn’t belong to Xiao Jinxing, but to Ye Qichi," Xiao Jinsen says.

When the name Ye Qichi is mentioned,

it seems as if his palm involuntarily moves for a moment,

as if her warmth lingers on.

"I’ve also heard about it," Zhao Mengyu says, somewhat sarcastically, "This woman, as incompetent as a straw bag, has repeatedly received undisguised praise from the Emperor."

"That’s why we need to sow discord between Ye Qichi and Xiao Jinxing," Xiao Jinsen says, "Once Xiao Jinxing loses Ye Qichi’s help, or even better, once there is internal conflict between the two, we could benefit from their dispute like the fisherman who profits from the quarrel of the snipe and the clam."

"What’s your plan?" Zhao Mengyu naturally trusts her son.

From a young age, she nurtured his strategic thinking; in secret, she found many skilled and talented people to aid his growth, so his depth and foresight throughout the years are, naturally, without question.

"Isn’t Xiao Jinxing fond of Bai Mowan?" Xiao Jinsen states frankly.

"No way!" Zhao Mengyu rejects outright, "Even if Ye Qichi has great ability, I will never agree to exchange Bai Mowan for Ye Qichi. No matter what Bai Mowan’s own capabilities are, the Bai Family holds heavy military power and cannot be compared to just a Ye Qichi or even a Minister Mansion. If you proceed with this plan, it would truly be a loss of both the wife and the troops!"

"Mother, rest assured, I would never willingly exchange Bai Mowan for Ye Qichi. Ye Qichi certainly doesn’t have such worth. My meaning is, Xiao Jinxing married Ye Qichi in part because of her resemblance to Bai Mowan. What if... we find a woman who resembles Bai Mowan even more than Ye Qichi and present her to Xiao Jinxing; do you think he might waver?"

Zhao Mengyu is taken aback.

"Bai Mowan’s cousin, Xie Ruiyao."

"The girl from the Xie Family." Zhao Mengyu has heard a bit about her.

"Yes," Xiao Jinsen says, "She’s a relative from General Bai’s side. When the Xie Family hosted a banquet, I attended once and saw Xie Ruiyao. She looked so much like Bai Mowan that I almost mistook her for Bai Mowan himself."

"But how do we get her to Xiao Jinxing’s side?" Zhao Mengyu asks. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"Is it hard to thrust a woman into Xiao Jinxing’s life?" Xiao Jinsen says with a cold laugh, "Right now, what I’m considering is, once she is given to Xiao Jinxing, how can this woman still be of use to us."

Zhao Mengyu nods, feeling relieved, for Xiao Jinsen’s plan is even more comprehensive than she had expected.

"Give me two months, Mother, and I will handle this matter thoroughly."

"If it could really be as you say, estranging Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi, and at the same time have Xie Ruiyao at our disposal to oversee Xiao Jinxing’s every move, then it would indeed be a most excellent turn of events."

"I shall certainly not fail to live up to Mother’s high expectations," Xiao Jinsen promises with a wicked smile.

The nature of Xiao Jinxing’s affection for Bai Mowan is known to all.

Such a man of sentiment.

To strike using feelings, there could be nothing better!

...

Prince Chen’s Mansion.

After being away for more than half a month, Ye Qichi has finally returned.

Previously, even after bathing, changing, and dressing in her ceremonial court garments, she did not return to Prince Chen’s Mansion, but went directly to the post station.

She didn’t notice it before; even after transmigrating into the book, she didn’t feel a sense of belonging. But now, returning to Prince Chen’s Mansion once again, there is indeed a feeling of truly coming home.

She steps down from the carriage.

And then, she sees Lu You whom she hasn’t seen in a long time, waiting there with her eyes red from crying.

The moment Lu You really sees her, she can’t control her tears from spilling.

This little girl.

Somehow makes one feel very warm.

"Your servant pays respects to the Prince, to the Princess," Lu You greets with a bow.

Of course, because Xiao Jinxing is also there, she doesn’t dare to behave improperly, doesn’t dare to be too affectionate with Ye Qichi.

Xiao Jinxing walks past without even a glance at Lu You, directly passing by her side.

Once Xiao Jinxing has left, Lu You truly can’t contain herself anymore, and she hurries to Ye Qichi’s side, "Princess, you’ve finally come back. I thought you had left and would never return, ptui ptui ptui ptui, the Princess is blessed and will surely be safe and sound."
