The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 5 - Drinking the Birth Control Soup

An'ning Medical Family, from birth soaked in the world of medicine, could tell what was in a tonic just by the smell. Was it not for Mi Xiang's mental confusion last night, she could have identified the composition of Mi Xiang in a second.

Ye Qichi took it over and drank it.

As long as it wasn't poison, she wouldn't pick a fight over it.

Besides.

She would never bear children for Xiao Jinxing anyway.

Thinking it over, if he didn't send it, she'd have found a way to make the birth control soup herself.

It's better to go along with Xiao Jinxing, letting this damned man stop pursuing her relentlessly, giving her a chance to breathe.

Seeing Ye Qichi drink without hesitation, Xiao Wu lightly breathed a sigh of relief. He bowed respectfully, "This servant will not disturb the Princess's rest anymore, this servant shall take his leave!"

Ye Qichi nodded.

Xiao Wu quickly retreated with his people.

Lu You, seeing Xiao Wu's retreating figure, could not contain her excitement any longer, "Princess, the Prince sent you gifts, and also a tonic for your health, does the Prince really..."

"Go wash up and sleep." Ye Qichi patted Lu You's shoulder.

Lu You looked at the Princess, who was overly calm.

What's wrong with the Princess?

Could it be that after being with the Prince, she has been completely transformed?!

Could marriage hold such benefits?!

...

Wan Courtyard.

Xiao Jinxing sat in a wheelchair, Xiao Wu returned to report, "The Princess drank the birth control soup."

"She didn't kick up a fuss?"

"No." Xiao Wu answered respectfully, "The Princess probably doesn't know it was birth control soup in the bowl."

"Hmm." Xiao Jinxing acknowledged, seemingly taking it for granted that Ye Qichi wouldn't realize there was something amiss with the soup.

"However..."

Xiao Jinxing's eyebrows tightened.

"Prince, it's been said that the Princess burned nanny Liu's hand." Xiao Wu reported.

"Is that so?" Xiao Jinxing was somewhat surprised, but showed no extreme emotional reaction.

"This servant is worried that the Princess might face retaliation from nanny Liu..."

A look was all it took.

Xiao Wu closed his mouth.

He thought that the relationship between the Prince and Princess would be different after last night.

It seems he was overthinking it.

Fearing that even if the Princess hadn't been assassinated by the Prince last night, her days ahead wouldn't be easy.

...

At another elegant courtyard.

A room in a lady's boudoir that is refined and elegant.

A pleasant voice asked, "Has there been any news from Prince Chen's Mansion?"

"Replying to the young lady, someone was sent early in the morning to inquire, but no news has been relayed back."

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

The lady's eyebrows creased slightly.

Could she have remembered wrong?! It was around this time years ago that news of the death of Prince Chen's wife came.

"Should we send someone to ask again?" the maid asked.

"No need, let's wait a little longer."

"Yes."

...

Ye Qichi slept until the evening.

Treated so wildly by Xiao Jinxing last night, her body was inevitably exhausted; if not for her robust constitution, she thought an ordinary woman couldn't have endured it.

She moved her body.

"Princess, are you awake?" Lu You had been standing by all the while.

"Awake now." Ye Qichi got up.

Lu You was already coming over to support her.

"Is there any food? I'm starving." Ye Qichi pat her stomach.

She hadn't eaten anything all day.

"The servant had already prepared, you can dine as soon as you change your clothes."

"Mm." Ye Qichi was touched.

She used to have people around taking care of her, but... forget it, it's better not mentioned.

She got out of bed with the assistance of Lu You.

The sight of the simple dishes on the elegant wooden table instantly made her lose her appetite.

"Is this all?" Ye Qichi asked.

"That's how we always eat." Lu You replied as it was normal.

"Who arranged my meals?" Without thinking, Ye Qichi knew she had been slighted again.

"Nanny Liu."

Ye Qichi sneered.

It was that old woman again.

Her expression darkened, "Call Nanny Liu to me!"

"But Nanny Liu has hurt her hand, it might not be good to have her come now. Nanny Liu is always highly respected by the Prince, if she makes a scene now, the Prince will definitely blame the Princess," said Lu You with some concern.

Ye Qichi felt that Lu You had considered it correctly.

Xiao Jinxing might just be seizing an opportunity to catch her.

Blaming Nanny Liu's burned hand today as negligence deserving of punishment could be why Nanny Liu dared not make a fuss. Forcing Nanny Liu to come with injuries now would be making a mountain out of a molehill!

Seeing the Princess's expression, Lu You thought she was compromising and was planning to serve her meals when she heard her saying, "Let's go check on her!"

"..."

Lu You followed Ye Qichi to Nanny Liu's courtyard with trepidation.

The small courtyard was even nicer than where she lived, Ye Qichi held her breath.

She strode in.

At that moment, Nanny Liu was preparing to dine.

Critically, there were three maids attending to her.

Seeing Ye Qichi suddenly appear shocked her.

Not to mention that a master normally wouldn't visit a servant's room, Ye Qichi absolutely wouldn't dare step into her courtyard on her own initiative.

Nanny Liu was somewhat frightened seeing Ye Qichi at that moment.

Still apprehensive about getting burned, but of course, afterward, she thought more about how to take revenge.

"Why did the Princess come to my humble abode, this broken place might damage your high status," Nanny Liu humbly said.

"Broken?" Ye Qichi looked around, "It's better than where I live. It seems the Prince treats you quite well."

"The Prince is very kind to the servant, after all, I was personally given to the Prince by the Empress," hinting to Ye Qichi to recognize her status.

She is the Empress's person, not someone a disfavored Princess could afford to offend.

"No wonder Nanny Liu even has three maids to serve her, while I just have one," Ye Qichi said casually, "Next time I see the Empress, I must really tell her about how well the Prince treats Nanny Liu."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Liu's face changed instantly.

No matter how favored she was, a servant couldn't possibly need people to serve her.

With a glance, she hurriedly dismissed the three maids by her side.

"The Princess is exaggerating, today I got scalded by boiling water, I'm not convenient to dine, these three young girls saw me, an old woman pitiful, just came to help me."

"Since they are not specially serving Nanny, then I don't need to have any concerns. After these three young girls feed you dinner, let them come to my room to serve me," Ye Qichi bluntly said.

Nanny Liu suffered a loss without being able to retaliate.

It's only natural for the Princess to be served by servants, especially, idling servants.

"Also. I heard my meals were arranged by Nanny Liu. Do you think I like vegetarian?" Ye Qichi looked at the rich dishes in front of Nanny Liu and sneered.

"The servant doesn't know what Princess is talking about. The servant arranged the best meals for the Princess," Nanny Liu certainly wouldn't admit it was her doing.

"Then it must be the servants taking advantage for themselves."

"The servant will definitely investigate thoroughly and explain to the Princess," Nanny Liu hastily said.

Internally, she was somewhat ironic. She thought Ye Qichi had changed, but it turned out she was still so gullible.

"I'll leave it to you then," Ye Qichi nodded, glanced again at Nanny Liu's meal, and commanded, "I'm hungry. Lu You, Nanny Liu's meal suits my taste, take it back for me to eat."
