The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day

Yuan Wenkang would need the Crown Prince to come to take him away.

He never expected that the person who came to see him, turned out to be Wu Xufan.

But upon reflection.

Given the close relationship between the Crown Prince and Young Master, it was only natural for the Crown Prince to ask Young Master to rescue him.

Thus, he had not much suspicion.

Wu Xufan negotiated a bit, then took Yuan Wenkang away.

Yuan Wenkang had been severely tortured, with serious injuries and his body covered in blood and flesh so indistinguishable that even walking was staggering at the moment.

After leaving the Imperial Palace.

"Yuan Wenkang, do you know why I came to rescue you?" Wu Xufan asked him.

"By the Crown Prince's order."

"No." Wu Xufan spoke directly, "Of course, after the Crown Prince's vigil, he would come to take you away, but today's event was not his order."

"I don't understand why." Yuan Wenkang replied respectfully.

Wu Xufan sneered, "You really don't know?"

"I do not." Even if I could guess one or two reasons, some things must absolutely not be uttered.

Uttering them would be tantamount to tarnishing the Princess's name.

He would rather die than defile the Princess.

"It was Princess Hezhen." Wu Xufan said directly.

Yuan Wenkang immediately knelt down, "This humble one thanks Princess Hezhen for her life-saving grace, and thanks the Prince Consort for his life-saving grace."

Prince Consort?!

Wu Xufan looked at Yuan Wenkang.

Xiao Hezhen had never treated him as a Prince Consort.

"Yuan Wenkang, I am well aware of numerous things." Wu Xufan made his point clear.

Yuan Wenkang knelt there, saying nothing.

"I came to rescue you today, also because I don't want to see Princess Hezhen upset." Wu Xufan said.

It was indeed no lie to Yuan Wenkang.

Extremely furious.

Yet, he still didn't want to see Xiao Hezhen's heartache.

But just thinking of her tearful eyes, he softened his heart again.

By saving Yuan Wenkang, he felt somewhat disdainful of himself!

"Yuan Wenkang, many things are not unknown just because you think no one knows." Wu Xufan's eyes turned cold.

Yuan Wenkang could naturally feel Young Master's rage.

He thought to himself.

Perhaps.

The Young Master did not come to save him, but to truly resolve him.

If his existence indeed affected the relationship between the Princess and himself, then he would be willing to atone with his death.

"I deserve to die a thousand times."

"A thousand deaths?" Wu Xufan looked at Yuan Wenkang, "Do you think I will kill you?!"

Yuan Wenkang did not answer.

Silence implied consent.

Wu Xufan chuckled, "I won't kill you, Yuan Wenkang."

Yuan Wenkang looked up at Wu Xufan, somewhat surprised.

Wu Xufan said, "Naturally, I did think about killing you. After all, who could tolerate such a thing?!"

Yuan Wenkang remained silent.

"But then I thought, if I killed you, Princess Hezhen would be sad."

She would be very sad.

In fact.

It was not just once that he had thought of killing Yuan Wenkang.

Thinking that with Yuan Wenkang's death, Xiao Hezhen would have no more attachments.

But then he thought of her crying over Yuan Wenkang's death, and again, he gave up.

That's how it was.

Deeply in love to the bone, wishing to guard her in the palm of his hands, yet still having to pretend as if nothing was the matter.

Listening to Wu Xufan's words, Yuan Wenkang was somewhat surprised, too.

He had also seen Wu Xufan's interaction with Xiao Hezhen and coincidentally encountered it.

Wu Xufan was not nice to Xiao Hezhen; he would even deliberately bully her. He had no good feelings towards Wu Xufan, thinking him irresponsible and flippant, even though being with the Crown Prince gave him a deeper understanding, knowing him to be different from what he appeared, but he still did not think he would make a good husband.

However, Wu Xufan's actions today caught him by surprise.

Perhaps.

He had misunderstood.

The Princess had misunderstood, too.

"I came to save you partly because of Princess Hezhen." Wu Xufan enunciated each word with a serious tone, "The other part is to warn you, if you leave behind any clue that gets discovered, if you affect Princess Hezhen even slightly, allowing her to suffer any malice from the outside world, I will not be merciful to you."

"If that day truly comes, I will end myself!" Yuan Wenkang made a vow.

Wu Xufan took another look at Yuan Wenkang.

Hoping.

That Xiao Hezhen's love would not be let down in vain.

He then turned and left.

That was all that needed to be said.

Yet after leaving, he still felt somewhat ill at ease.

Damnit!

For Xiao Hezhen, he truly didn't feel like himself!

…

Upon returning to Marquis Wu's Mansion, Princess Hezhen commanded someone to inquire about Yuan Wenkang's condition in the palace.

Today, she happened to see Yuan Wenkang in such serious condition in the palace, and wondered if he would...

She knew her third brother, the Crown Prince, would surely go to save Yuan Wenkang, but the third brother was attending the Crown Prince's vigil, likely unable to be in two places at once, so she thought about leveraging some connections, at least to ensure Yuan Wenkang could suffer less these next few days.

Little did she know.

News from the palace came that Yuan Wenkang had already been taken out of the Imperial Palace.

They said it was the Young Master who took him.

Princess Hezhen could hardly believe it.

How could Wu Xufan be so kind-hearted?!

Or is it?!

Uncertainties began to stir in Princess Hezhen's mind.

Wu Xufan wouldn't be using this as an excuse to kill Yuan Wenkang because he knew about her feelings for Yuan Wenkang, would he?!

The moment she thought this.

Princess Hezhen could not remain calm.

She quickly came out of her room and ran to find Wu Xufan, almost losing her sanity in that moment.

"Princess, Princess, slow down..." The maid called out to her from behind.

Never has she seen the Princess in such a panic.

It was as if she faced a major crisis, causing her to lose composure.

Princess Hezhen truly had lost her composure.

When she saw Wu Xufan from a distance, drinking in the courtyard by the Lotus Pond, she rushed directly in front of Wu Xufan and overturned the wine and pastries in front of him!

The incident scared the maid behind her, who knelt down on the ground, at a loss for what to do.
