The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day Chapter 950 - 534: Meeting Gu Xingchuan (Fourth Update)
"I believe the Bai Family is most likely trying to win over the powerful." Song Yanqing said, "The Bai Family currently holds military power, and if they wanted to start a rebellion, they believe they have the capability. However, after the rebellion, they lack the power to stabilize their position. After all, the Bai Family has been loyal for generations, their sole intent has been to protect the country, and they’ve never had other ideas. To avoid suspicion, they have never ford friendships with the court officials! But now that they have a plan, they will certainly try to make up for their current lack of influence."
"Just as I thought." Xiao Jinxing agreed.
"Who do you think they will try to win over?" Song Yanqing asked.
"If it were you, which officials in the court would you try to win over first?" Xiao Jinxing countered.
"I have never considered that. My sole loyalty is to the emperor alone!" Song Yanqing quickly declared his stance.
Xiao Jinxing smiled slightly, "Song Yanqing, not being in office is truly your loss, and mine as well."
"So I’ve regretted it." Song Yanqing suddenly said.
Xiao Jinxing frowned.
"If I help the emperor take down the Bai Family this ti, I would like to request an official position." Song Yanqing requested.
"You haven’t achieved anything yet, and you’re already asking for rewards."
"I am too eager for success, please forgive , Your Majesty."
"It’s for Xie Ruotong, isn’t it?" Xiao Jinxing asked.
"Yes."
"Afterward, I will consider it."
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
"Continuing what we just said, if it were you, who would you choose to win over first?" Xiao Jinxing raised an eyebrow.
"I would first win over those who have ambition and aspirations, because these people are more easily corrupted by profit!" Song Yanqing spoke frankly and added, "However, I am not very clear about the concubine Bai’s strategies, so I do not know if her thoughts align with mine?"
"Bai Mowan’s capabilities are not low, otherwise I wouldn’t have been so lenient with her initially, thinking that she could contribute to the foundation of the Daxuan Kingdom." Xiao Jinxing spoke candidly, "So you can use the utmost thoughts you can conceive to speculate on Bai Mowan’s mind."
"Then it would be as I just said, winning over those with ambition." Song Yanqing confird.
Xiao Jinxing nodded.
"However, there are no shortage of ambitious people in the court, but that doesn’t an all of them have treasonous hearts." Song Yanqing mused, puzzled.
It’s for a mont not understanding how Bai Mowan will act, or how she will determine those on her list!
"Based on my understanding of Bai Mowan, she will use the simplest and most direct thod to investigate these people." Xiao Jinxing’s eyes were cold.
"Which people?"
"Among the harem, those ministers who have presented with show girls."
Song Yanqing was stunned for a few monts.
Suddenly understood.
His eyes also showed so surprise, "What the emperor says is very true. If Concubine Bai is smart enough, she will surely think of this."
This is called, being too clever for one’s own good!
"So I need you to settle these people for privately." Xiao Jinxing said directly, "Do not alarm anyone, but also make Bai Mowan think her plans are succeeding."
"I obey the command." Song Yanqing received the order.
Xiao Jinxing and Song Yanqing discussed specific strategies.
Continued until lunchti.
Grandpa Ping ca in several tis, cautiously asking if the emperor could dine?
The emperor always asked, "Has the empress returned?"
Grandpa Ping said no.
Then the emperor said to wait a bit.
This continued for more than half an hour.
Song Yanqing finally couldn’t hold back, he said, "The empress might have gone to see Master Gu."
After speaking.
Song Yanqing felt it wasn’t easy for him to survive.
Yet unexpectedly, the emperor did not get angry.
He rely responded blandly, "Let’s eat."
Song Yanqing took a deep breath.
No one knew when the emperor would truly win the empress’s heart!
The road is long, the task arduous.
...
Xun’an City.
An Ning and Xie Ruotong were strolling on the street.
They didn’t buy much.
After all, there are small trinkets in the common people, all of which could be found in the Imperial Palace, as long as she said the word.
"Let’s go to the Ancient dical Hall." An Ning suddenly said.
Xie Ruotong actually anticipated it long ago.
The empress wants to avoid the emperor to et Gu Xingchuan for sure.
She said directly, "We’ve been followed."
An Ning looked around.
"It should be the Hidden Guard arranged by the emperor to ensure the empress’s safety." Xie Ruotong explained.
This ti truly stood on the emperor’s side.
In terms of the empress’s life safety, the emperor would never be careless.
"It doesn’t matter, Xiao Jinxing won’t stop ." An Ning said directly.
Xie Ruotong didn’t say more.
The two got into the carriage, heading directly to the Ancient dical Hall.
On the carriage, Xie Ruotong couldn’t help but ask, "In fact, the emperor treats you well."
"I know." An Ning said straight.
If Xiao Jinxing wasn’t sincere in these days of interaction, then she’s just deceiving herself.
Although indeed can’t figure out why Xiao Jinxing would fall for her.
Is it because the guilt was too deep, and thus generated affection?!
Of course, none of these matter.
What matters is, she has no feelings for Xiao Jinxing.
These days, indulgence towards Xiao Jinxing, compromise on anything he does, is only because of the promise made during the deal with Xiao Jinxing, accepting all the good he treats her.
Never thought about genuinely having feelings for him.
Never thought about staying with him in the Imperial Palace.
In her life, the only person who could make her compromise was Fu Xingyi.
"Are you certain to leave?" Xie Ruotong asked again.
"Absolutely will leave." An Ning firmly.
Xie Ruotong nodded, silently nodding.
Even if reluctant, would choose to support.
The carriage arrived at the Ancient dical Hall.
Xie Ruotong got off first.
An Ning hesitated for a mont but still followed.
She didn’t want to give Gu Xingchuan any expectations, so many tis preferred to keep her distance from him.
This is different from the attitude towards Xiao Jinxing.
Doing anything to Xiao Jinxing, even if deceptive or insincere, she wouldn’t feel any guilt.
But with Gu Xingchuan, she can’t.
The only person she felt sorry for in this life was Gu Xingchuan.
"General Xie, are you here to see our young master?" The housekeeper of the Ancient dical Hall quickly greeted.
"Is he here?" Xie Ruotong asked.
"Yes, the young master’s health has been poor these few days, staying in the hall to rest." The housekeeper quickly said, "You ca just in ti, you can persuade our young master."
"What’s wrong?" Xie Ruotong asked with concern.
Last ti she ca to deliver a prescription for Gu Xingchuan, heard he was unwell, bedridden, originally thought it was hangover damage to health, after all that day drank too excessively, reportedly vomited a day and night, more exaggerated than Song Yanqing. Thought of delivering a prescription, had brewed dicine should have healed by now.
An Ning’s complexion slightly changed hearing the housekeeper say so.
"Barely eats or drinks. Last ti you ca with Master Song to deliver a prescription for our young master, we prepared and brewed the herbs but he wouldn’t take them, still bedridden. Originally wanted to call upon the master and madam to persuade the young master, but he refused." The housekeeper said helplessly.
