The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day

"I'm not ruling it out. Apart from Xiao Jinsen, there are others who want to kill Wan'er," Xiao Jinxing said, "For instance, the person who attempted to assassinate Wan'er today might also be among the guards."

"So, you also think that the one who tried to kill Bai Mowan before was not Xiao Jinsen, but someone else, and moreover, this person must hold a significant status?" Ye Qichi asked.

Xiao Jinxing affirmed with a sound, saying, "I suspect it's…"

"The Crown Princess Consort?" Ye Qichi blurted out.

Xiao Jinxing's gaze tightened.

He hadn't expected Ye Qichi to have guessed it.

Bai Mowan was clearly surprised upon hearing this.

But after it was said.

Everything clicked into place instantly.

She couldn't help but look at Ye Qichi, feeling a tinge of disappointment in herself for the woman's intelligence.

Why.

Ye Qichi could think of it, yet she had not thought of it at all.

"If Xiao Jinsen's wish to have Wan'er gets known by Gao Jingyi, then Gao Jingyi will definitely stop such an event from happening. After all, if the Empress truly wants to gain the allegiance of the Bai Family's army, she must make Wan'er become the Crown Princess Consort, to show their sincerity. And this means Gao Jingyi's position as Crown Princess Consort would no longer be secure," Xiao Jinxing said coldly, "The only person who is desperately hoping for Wan'er's death, is Gao Jingyi."

Ye Qichi nodded.

That's what she thought as well.

Gao Jingyi must have realized early on that the Empress had intentions towards Bai Mowan and therefore plotted her death. Even if Bai Mowan did not break off her engagement with Xiao Jinsen, if she killed Bai Mowan, Bai Mowan would not be able to marry Xiao Jinsen, and the Bai Family's army would naturally not fall under Xiao Jinsen's command. In front of the Empress and the Crown Prince, it would be considered a significant achievement. But if Bai Mowan did not marry Xiao Jinsen, then killing Bai Mowan would also prevent her from marrying the Crown Prince.

An act that would serve both to protect herself and to earn great merit.

Thus, Gao Jingyi would take the risk.

"Is the Crown Prince dead?" Ye Qichi suddenly asked.

Xiao Jinxing did not reply to Ye Qichi.

It seemed that he did not want to let her know their plot.

Just like this hunting party, they used Bai Mowan as bait to kill the Crown Prince, but Xiao Jinxing did not tell her of the plan.

Forget it.

She was too lazy to care anymore.

After all, it wasn't much related to her.

The only thing she cared about was when Xiao Jinxing would take over the realm, then she could elegantly exit the scene.

"Let's go then," Ye Qichi changed the topic.

Xiao Jinxing was afraid of delaying further, in case others also found this place.

Leaving earlier was the only way to ensure real safety.

"Wan'er, come get on my back," Xiao Jinxing turned to Bai Mowan and crouched down.

"Brother Xiao…" Bai Mowan was still a bit shy.

"Come up," Xiao Jinxing insisted firmly.

In the end, Bai Mowan did not reject and lay on Xiao Jinxing's back.

Xiao Jinxing carried Bai Mowan and left a message, "Follow me."

Ye Qichi responded.

The three of them exited the cave together.

F*ck.

So cold.

Ye Qichi was trembling from the cold.

She hadn't dressed very warm for today's hunt.

But, at least she had worn a thin padded jacket.

In her excitement just now, the jacket had flown onto the fire, not only was it covered in ash, but it had also burned some holes and was no longer wearable.

Now she was left with nothing but a thin garment.

With the temperature well below zero degrees in the forest, it was simply life-threatening.

Ye Qichi hopped and skipped next to Xiao Jinxing, constantly attempting to generate body heat to keep herself warm.

She truly feared she might freeze to death.

Xiao Jinxing seemed to have noticed Ye Qichi's actions.

Watching her shiver vigorously.

In the end.

Still, he said nothing.

The three of them reached the steep place where they had fallen.

Ye Qichi had surveyed it after falling down and knew she couldn't perform Qinggong to fly back up. She simply couldn't do it.

Xiao Jinxing might be able to, but now with Bai Mowan on his back, it was tough.

Bai Mowan was currently badly injured, with poison still lingering in her body; it was impossible for her to use Qinggong.

So.

How were they going to get back up?!

"When I came down, I left a vine. However, the vine is limited in length and is located midway up the slope," Xiao Jinxing said.

That bastard Xiao Jinxing, as expected, was reliable in his actions.

At this midway point, she felt that with her abilities, she should be able to reach it.

"I will carry Wan'er up first. You support me with your body, making it easier for me to use Qinggong," Xiao Jinxing said to Ye Qichi.

"Oh," Ye Qichi did not refuse.

She crouched down.

Using Qinggong, Xiao Jinxing stepped directly on Ye Qichi's body, then leveraging her shoulder with effort, Xiao Jinxing flew up with Bai Mowan on his back.
