The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day

For a full seven days.

And today, her body truly began to come back to life.

"I want to get out of bed, help me change and wash up," Ye Qichi said.

After she finished speaking, Lu You was shocked, "Princess, your body is so weak, how can you get out of bed? What if your wound reopens and bleeds after you get out of bed? I'm clumsy, what if I hurt your body again?"

After the Imperial Physician left, one night, due to a fever, she convulsed, causing the wound that had just been cleaned to burst and bleed again. It was Lu You who reapplied the medicine to stop the bleeding. In fact, she also wanted Gu Xingchuan to do it—treating patients does not discriminate between genders. However, Lu You cried as if her life depended on it, insisting that it couldn't be done, noting if someone discovered it, the Princess would be subjected to a punishment of being drowned in a pig cage, an utterly heart-wrenching thought.

Gu Xingchuan was also a person who adhered to etiquette. Although he was anxious about her injury, he would not lose his sense of propriety. Hence, he instructed Lu You from beyond the screen on how to clean the wound and stop the bleeding. Lu You wept while cleaning, and her hands trembled after she finished, probably enough to become a shadow over her, ever fearful of such an incident happening again.

"Don't worry, I'm feeling much better," Ye Qichi comforted, "I feel so energetic now, I think I could actually kill a bull."

"..." The Princess really never makes things easy.

Nevertheless, Lu You obediently fetched wash water and began to assist Ye Qichi in washing up.

While helping Ye Qichi wash up, Lu You couldn't help but express her surprise, "Princess, the wounds on your face, they have almost healed completely."

She was almost scared to death when she first saw the wounds on the Princess's face on day one.

The sight was so gruesome that she thought the Princess's beauty was ruined forever.

Considering that the Prince had never been fond of the Princess to begin with, if the Princess were to become ugly, she feared that her future would be even more bleak.

But now, looking at how quickly the wounds were healing, the facial injuries had left almost no trace at all.

She couldn't shake the feeling that in a few days, the Princess would regain her original beauty.

At this thought, Lu You also felt somewhat more at ease.

The idea that as long as her beauty remained, there might still be hope for the Princess to gain the Prince's favor...

In this moment, she felt a vague unease.

Was it because she thought of the severe injuries the Prince had allowed the Princess to suffer, and yet did not wish for them to reconcile!

While helping Ye Qichi wash and dress, Lu You asked, "Princess, did the Prince return last night?"

It was only after Lu You mentioned it that Ye Qichi remembered Xiao Jinxing had come over last night.

It was true that she didn't care, so she really had forgotten.

"Seems like it."

"In a daze, it felt like the Prince had come, and then I tried to struggle out of bed to greet him, but I just couldn't get up, as if I were pinned down by a ghost," Lu You said with some frustration.

"Was it a male ghost?" Ye Qichi teased.

Lu You didn't catch on at first, but when she finally understood the meaning of the Princess's words, her face flushed red, "Princess, you're so naughty, I'm still a virgin."

"So you're thinking about men."

"I am not," the servant denied.

"Lu You, do you want to get married?" Ye Qichi suddenly asked seriously.

Although Lu You was still young,

in ancient times people started getting married at 15, and at Lu You's age, it was natural to have such thoughts.

"I don't, I'll just stay by the Princess's side and serve you," Lu You promptly responded, "In life, I am the Princess's person; in death, I'll be the Princess's ghost."

Ye Qichi couldn't help but laugh.

Such cheesy words, yet Lu You said them so naturally, as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

But it had to be said,

she quite liked this little wench, Lu You.

"Princess, you always lead me astray. I was just talking about the Prince coming back last night," Lu You complained a bit.

The Princess always effortlessly made her forget what she was talking about just a moment ago.

"What's there to talk about."

"The Prince still cares about you, right?" Lu You asked tentatively.

If he didn't care, he wouldn't visit the Princess late at night instead of resting.

Ye Qichi laughed sarcastically, "Do you know the word 'incidentally'?"

"Incidentally?"

"Today the Crown Prince is to be buried, and Xiao Jinxing came back to change clothes and bathe before going to the funeral. Since it was possibly only two hours, after his bathing and changing, he couldn't go back to sleep. If he did, he would oversleep, so he came to glance at me incidentally to kill some time. What else did you think?" After awakening, Ye Qichi felt her mind was more active too.
