In the sleeping chambers.
Wu Xufan’s words naturally surprised Xiao Zhanping.
Indeed, it also left Xiao Jinxing somewhat shocked.
He thought that Ye Qichi would no longer treat him as before, after the incident with the wolves. Despite Ye Qichi appearing no different from usual, he could still feel her distance. He had never considered that Ye Qichi would take the initiative to save him.
The emotions in his heart... tumultuous as surging waves.
What kind of person is Ye Qichi, after all?
Why would she care for him to such an extent?
Bai Mowan felt quite displeased upon hearing Wu Xufan say this.
Having her own ulterior motives, she had not taken the initiative to tell Xiao Jinxing. Now that Wu Xufan had said it in front of the Emperor, letting everyone know that Xiao Jinxing survived due to Ye Qichi’s superb medical skills, Ye Qichi’s capabilities were likely to become known throughout the entire Daxuan Kingdom.
At this moment, she even wondered, how would Xiao Jinxing view her?!
Would he think she was manipulative, a petty person?
Bai Mowan, suppressing her inner emotions, did not dare to look at Xiao Jinxing proactively.
Fearing that Xiao Jinxing really saw her that way.
Actually, she herself did not understand why she had become .
Why the jealousy, why she couldn’t tolerate someone else’s excellence!
The sleeping chamber quiet for a moment.
Xiao Zhanping suddenly spoke, "I am greatly surprised."
When he said it, there was still some disbelief, disbelief in Ye Qichi’s level of medical skill!
"Xufan means to say that it’s Prince Chen’s life, once again saved by Princess Chen?" Xiao Zhanping confirmed.
"Yes," Wu Xufan quickly replied, "This minister is also impressed by Princess Chen’s exceptional medical skills."
"Princess Chen always brings me surprises," Xiao Zhanping unreservedly praised, "Xufan is right, Princess Chen deserves a reward, a generous reward indeed."
"Your Majesty is wise," Wu Xufan agreed.
Ye Qichi couldn’t help but glance at Wu Xufan at that moment.
This guy is quite loyal.
Much more so than Xiao Jinxing.
Xiao Jinxing is just the protagonist with a halo, otherwise, how could he have so many outstanding people persistently following him.
Wu Xufan felt Ye Qichi’s look and flashed a bright smile.
An expression that said, "Brother’s got your back."
Ye Qichi couldn’t help but smile back.
Xiao Jinxing witnessed the interaction between the two.
He knew that there was nothing between them.
Wu Xufan was in love with Xiao Hezhen, deeply so.
Ye Qichi could not possibly have feelings for Wu Xufan, it should be impossible...
And he should not feel uneasy because Ye Qichi showed favor to others.
Yet at that moment, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
"Before I came here, I had thought about bestowing some rare treasures, rouges, and luxurious silks and satins on Princess Chen," Xiao Zhanping spoke unhurriedly.
In her mind, Ye Qichi thought.
She was indeed short on money.
The damned Prince would definitely not give her the reward.
She didn’t want to ask Xiao Jinxing for money when she needed it; having her own money was certainly better.
Then she heard Xiao Zhanping suddenly say, "But now I feel that these things are too vulgar."
Ye Qichi was completely taken aback.
She was a vulgar person.
Hurry up and insult her with vulgar things!
"I think, what Princess Chen wants more might be..." Xiao Zhanping suddenly paused.
Everyone was watching the Emperor.
All were anticipating what exactly the Emperor would reward Ye Qichi with.
After making such a grand statement, the reward would definitely be extraordinary.
Xiao Zhanping continued, "I promise Princess Chen that in this life, Prince Chen shall not divorce Princess Chen!"
Ye Qichi was completely stiffened at that moment.
She couldn’t believe what she heard.
She was convinced she had heard wrong.
Not divorcing Xiao Jinxing, what kind of reward was that?!
Was Xiao Zhanping out of his mind?!
She was eager for a divorce, wishing it would come sooner.
Her suppressed anger nearly burst forth at that moment.
Of course, she was not the only one.
Xiao Jinxing was also shocked by Xiao Zhanping’s words.
He had not expected the Emperor to make such a promise to Ye Qichi suddenly.
Throughout the history of Daxuan Kingdom, there had been no Emperor who decreed so forcefully against a divorce; after all, whether to divorce or not should be a matter between two people and not something for the Emperor to interfere with...
Xiao Jinxing’s gaze flickered as he looked toward Xiao Zhanping, suddenly catching sight of Zhao Mengyu’s cold smirk from the corner of his eye, a smirk that carried a trace of triumph.
