The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 126 - 78 Practice_3

Now that I think about it, who else could it be if not her.

She deliberately staged a play, causing His Majesty to have lingering fears and not daring to let Prince Chu go to Yuzhou City, fearing that Prince Chu would encounter mishaps. Thus, His Majesty would assign someone else, and in reality, only Xiao Jinxing would be sent.

As for why she would be killed, it was merely to divert suspicion away from Xiao Jinxing, fearing that someone would suspect him. After all, it was because of this matter that Xiao Jinsen couldn’t go to Yuzhou!

As long as she was hurt, this assassination incident would lead to mutual suspicion between the Empress and the Imperial Concubine, and both parties might firmly claim that the other party was responsible. The Empress Dowager, this old witch, would then truly enjoy the fruits of their strife.

Wen Jingtang was never simple.

Even cunning to a deadly extent.

"Did the Prince ask you to go with him?" Gu Xingchuan realized, then questioned.

"After all, my medical skills are exceptional," Ye Qichi laughed, quite smugly.

"But the plague is different from other diseases, it’s highly contagious, once infected, even high medical skills are helpless," Gu Xingchuan was clearly agitated.

"We’ll see when we get there," Ye Qichi laughed.

A face of nonchalance.

"I hope you will consider it carefully," Gu Xingchuan emphasized each word.

"There’s nothing to consider," Ye Qichi stated bluntly, "Xiao Jinxing said I have no choice."

Gu Xingchuan’s expression clearly grew uglier.

Ordinarily a graceful gentleman, almost celestial, now also showed a bit of anger.

He said, "I will think of a way."

Ye Qichi was surprised, "You can’t possibly stop Xiao Jinxing."

No matter what.

Xiao Jinxing is a Prince, no matter how little favored, but imperial authority is inviolable.

The Gu Family, despite its wealth, cannot compete with imperial power.

Provoking the imperial authority carelessly would lead to the extermination and confiscation of wealth.

"My father has some connections with Marquis Wu’s Mansion, the Young Master of Marquis Wu’s Mansion has a good relationship with the Prince, relying on Marquis Wu’s Mansion might help you," Gu Xingchuan said.

Ye Qichi smiled, "Do you know why your father is in a good relationship with Marquis Wu’s Mansion?"

Gu Xingchuan was surprised.

So Ye Qichi knew something.

"Actually, it’s not only the Young Master who has a good relationship with Xiao Jinxing, Marquis Wu’s Mansion has an even better relationship with Xiao Jinxing."

"You mean..." Gu Xingchuan suddenly understood.

Ye Qichi nodded, "Xiao Jinxing is trying to win you over."

"If that’s the case, I can persuade the Prince even more," Gu Xingchuan said.

"So you plan to sell yourself to the Prince and then keep me safe?" Ye Qichi asked.

"I’ve already promised you, to ally with the Prince."

Ye Qichi was still somewhat touched.

Her treatment of Gu Xingchuan’s epilepsy was actually still out of her own considerations, yet Gu Xingchuan was so wholeheartedly open with her.

She said, "It was also my own willingness."

Gu Xingchuan was amazed.

"In front of life, everyone is equal," Ye Qichi said, "Even though I know you won’t agree with this view, in your eyes, people should be ranked, the imperial family, ministers, commoners, servants... but to me, all lives are the same. If I can lend my strength to save some lives, I think it’s worth it."

Gu Xingchuan looked at Ye Qichi.

This was the first time he heard someone say that in front of life, everyone is equal.

Although he abandoned the arbitrary treatment of servants, deep down he still felt that a master is a master, and when sacrifices are required, servants should naturally shield in front.

But here was Ye Qichi, a lady from an official’s family, married into the Imperial Palace’s nobility, expressing such shocking and even admirable words.

His heartbeat noticeably quickened.

Suppressing himself in endurance.

"No matter how much I say, you probably won’t understand," Ye Qichi knew very well that in the minds of ancient people, such views were simply madness, accustomed to supremacy, how could they possibly be touched by the rights of the lowly, she continued, "Regardless, I appreciate your willingness to make such a great sacrifice for me. However, I must go to Yuzhou. But before I go, there are some things I need your help with."

Gu Xingchuan also knew that he couldn’t persuade Ye Qichi.

He nodded, readily agreeing, "Alright."

"Did you give the antidote to Xiang Qin?" Ye Qichi asked.

"I did."

"This trip to Yuzhou, I don’t know how long it will take, so you need to prepare some more antidote for Xiang Qin, I’ll give you the prescription and the method of preparing it," Ye Qichi said. frёeωebɳovel.com

"You’re giving it to me?" Gu Xingchuan asked her.

"If not you, then who?"
