Two people in a standoff.
Pang Nan beside them, didn’t even dare to breathe.
It was the first time he realized that Miss Ye was so tough, he had thought only military families had such imposing aura, and now she totally impressed him.
Of course, he was still somewhat terrified.
If the Prince really became furious... Miss Ye might really be beheaded.
The atmosphere was extremely tense.
"Do you want your Ye Family to be buried with you?" Xiao Jinxing’s voice was low, as if he was trying hard to control his emotions.
He could easily lose control because of Ye Qichi.
But he didn’t want to admit it.
"Every life matters. The lives of the Ye Family and the lives of the people in Yuzhou City matter the same. Life has no rank of nobility or inferiority, even if you threaten me with anyone’s life, I still hold my convictions!"
"Ye Qichi, you really don’t want to live anymore!" Xiao Jinxing gritted his teeth.
His patience for Ye Qichi was completely uncontrollable.
His face turned extremely upset, "How much blood do you think you have to shed?! Do you plan to die here?!"
"Aren’t you just waiting for me to die?" Ye Qichi sneered, "If I die, you and Bai Mowan would naturally be together! Since when has Prince Chen been so kind as to care about whether I live or die? Or is it because Prince Chen worries that Miss Bai would fall ill, and without me, there’d be no one to treat her..."
"Ye Qichi!" Xiao Jinxing roared in anger.
The roar was so loud.
It seemed to shake the ground by three feet.
Pang Nan involuntarily knelt on the ground.
He was utterly frightened.
"Just go be with your Miss Bai!" Ye Qichi didn’t care, she dropped a sentence, "My life and death are not your concern!"
Ye Qichi put down the dagger from her neck, turned around and left.
Xiao Jinxing just watched Ye Qichi’s leaving figure, fiercely staring at her back, his eyes becoming bloodshot in agitation.
He suddenly clutched at his chest.
It was the first time that anger made his chest hurt.
If this continues, one day he would be angered to death by Ye Qichi.
Pang Nan, kneeling on the ground, saw Ye Qichi leaving and noted that Prince Chen seemed to have no intention of stopping her, feeling conflicted.
"Follow her," Xiao Jinxing suddenly commanded.
Upon receiving the order, Pang Nan quickly replied, "Yes, I will immediately follow Miss Ye... Princess."
Pang Nan felt it was time to change his address.
Previously calling her Miss Ye, only because he wasn’t sure about Prince Chen’s identity.
He should address her with due respect.
"Miss Ye," Xiao Jinxing coldly uttered, "Princess is not her!"
Is Prince Chen throwing a tantrum?!
Pang Nan dared not say more and hurriedly got up to chase after Ye Qichi.
Ye Qichi walked out of Pang Mansion and waited a while.
She actually knew that Pang Nan would definitely come out.
No matter what this despicable man Xiao Jinxing does, Pang Nan would risk his life to meet her.
Pang Nan came out hurriedly, "Miss Ye."
Ye Qichi waited for him.
"It’s my duty," Pang Nan said with utmost respect.
Ye Qichi got into a carriage.
Pang Nan personally drove the carriage.
"Mr. Pang," Ye Qichi called him.
"I am here," Pang Nan replied.
"I need to ask Mr. Pang for a favor."
"Please, Miss Ye, just instruct me."
"Send someone you trust completely to Xun City," Ye Qichi said, "to find a man named Gu Xingchuan who has opened a medical practice in the streets of Xun City. The medicinal ingredients we need, we can get them from him."
"But Prince Chen made it very clear just now, right now in Daxuan Kingdom it’s impossible to find the herbs we need. I worry that Gu Xingchuan might have also received the news and dare not provide us with the medicines. If he does, it would be opposing Prince Chu, and across the entire Daxuan Kingdom, there are not many who dare to defy Prince Chu! I am even worried that he might denounce us!"
"I can’t guarantee others, but he definitely will not," Ye Qichi firmly asserted, "Mr. Pang, I’ll write a letter for you, let someone take the letter to Gu Xingchuan, and he will know what to do."
Pang Nan nodded, "Yes."
"Don’t tell Xiao Jinxing," Ye Qichi instructed.
Pang Nan was surprised.
"I don’t want to explain too much to him, it would waste time," Ye Qichi said with a tone somewhat filled with aversion, evidently annoyed by Xiao Jinxing, "Just directly send someone to find Gu Xingchuan. However, be very careful on the way, I am worried that Prince Chu might secretly plot something. If Prince Chu learns that I am seeking help from Gu Xingchuan, Gu Xingchuan could be in danger."
This is why, initially she did not directly contact Gu Xingchuan, as she didn’t want to involve him so soon.
