The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 285 - 118: Xiang Qin’s Feelings_2

Lu You watched the Prince leave before she hurriedly approached and whispered in Ye Qichi’s ear, "Princess, is the Prince hoping for you to move in and live with him in his courtyard?"

"How could that be possible?" Ye Qichi didn’t feel so at all.

"Then why did the Prince take the child you picked up to his own courtyard?" Lu You retorted.

"..." Who knows if that damn Prince is having a guilty conscience.

"Princess..."

"Enough already." Ye Qichi decided to stop Lu You in her tracks.

Lu You’s incessant chatter was giving her a headache.

"I’ll take you to see the child I picked up."

"Your servant would rather see the Princess’s own flesh and blood."

"..." No use talking when we’re not on the same page.

Ye Qichi still went to fetch the baby from the arms of the nanny in Xiao Jinxing’s courtyard.

Having returned to Prince Chen’s Mansion, naturally, the baby was treated differently.

Dressed in gorgeous clothes, her little body clearly bathed and cleaned, her cheeks were tender and rosy. She must have been well-fed by now, so when Ye Qichi left holding the baby, the baby was soundly asleep with a content face.

Back in the courtyard.

Ye Qichi carefully placed the baby on her bed.

"Princess, will she sleep with you?" Lu You asked.

"Mm."

"Babies are restless sleepers at night, your servant is worried she will disturb the Princess’s rest," Lu You said. "Shall I go ask the Prince’s nanny to come over and take care of her?"

"No need, it’s just for one night," refused Ye Qichi.

If the damn Prince was willing to let her raise the baby in the mansion, surely a nanny would be needed for care, as she herself had no experience with children.

But for just one night, she didn’t want to bother.

And, she was quite eager to spend more time with the baby.

"Yes." Lu You said no more, having heard the conversation between the Prince and the Princess, she knew the child would be sent away tomorrow afternoon.

At this moment.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door from outside the room.

Immediately after, Xiang Qin’s voice came, "Xiang Qin requests an audience with the Princess."

Ye Qichi nodded.

Lu You hurried to open the door.

At the door, Xiang Qin greeted Lu You very politely, "Miss Lu You."

"Miss Xiang Qin," Lu You returned the greeting. "The Princess is inside, but the child is asleep."

The implication being that Xiang Qin should keep her voice down, not to wake up the sleeping child.

"Yes."

Xiang Qin walked into Ye Qichi’s room.

Following Lu You, she approached the bed behind the screen.

"Xiang Qin pays respect to the Princess," Xiang Qin curtsied.

Ye Qichi really disliked Xiang Qin’s excessive respect towards her.

But over the years at the Ten Extremes Sect, Xiang Qin had lived a life of walking on eggshells, which she probably got used to, being respectful and cautious to everyone.

"Is there something you want to talk to me about, Xiang Qin?"

"Yes, I have some words I’d like to share with the Princess in private."

"Lu You, you may leave first."

"Yes." Lu You left respectfully.

Seeing that the baby was sleeping well, Ye Qichi also got up and sat down with Xiang Qin on the soft couch on one side of the room.

"You may speak frankly," encouraged Ye Qichi.

"I am thinking of leaving Prince Chen’s Mansion tomorrow," Xiang Qin said with courage.

Ye Qichi frowned, "What’s the matter? Are you so eager to return to the Xie Residence?"

"No," Xiang Qin shook her head. "I will go back when my health has recovered, so I won’t worry my father and mother."

Her plan was.

To return only when she was fully healed.

If not.

She would never go back.

She would rather suffer the torment of longing for her family than make them suffer again.

"Then what is it?"

"My status is not good, as Miss Lu You said, my being here is ultimately against the norms."

"Now they call you Xiang Qin simply because Xie Ruotong hasn’t gone home yet. Once Xie Ruotong goes home, Xiang Qin will be as good as dead," Ye Qichi clarified.

Xiang Qin looked at Ye Qichi.

Ye Qichi smiled, "The eyes of the world aren’t that important; knowing how to live one’s own life is the real deal."

Xiang Qin was somewhat touched.

Having inadvertently overheard Lu You’s words today, she kept wondering if she should leave.

Of course, she held no resentment towards Lu You, even feeling that everything Lu You said was entirely correct.

She was a courtesan, and in the Daxuan Kingdom, courtesans were the lowest of the low, less than even servants. Her very existence would bring shame to those around her. She didn’t want to be a burden on Ye Qichi. To her, Ye Qichi was her lifesaver. No matter how much she said their relationship was one of cooperation, it was Ye Qichi who had allowed her to successfully escape from the Ten Extremes Sect, who had saved her life, and would even let her return home. She harbored immense gratitude in her heart and didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble for Ye Qichi because of herself.
