The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day

Chapter 1427: Chapter 813: Xiao Luming Takes the Initiative

After Xiao Luming’s triumphant return.

Xie Ruotong led the troops south of Hebei, extending the border to the stronghold occupied by the Tatars, once again expanding the territory of the Daxuan Kingdom.

Naturally, Song Yanqing accompanied Xie Ruotong.

Ever since Xie Qianyun was no longer in life-threatening danger, Song Yanqing’s attention shifted from Xie Qianyun, following closely behind Xie Ruotong every day.

Xie Qianyun had to admit, a daughter truly belongs to her father.

Meanwhile, the orders from Xiao Jinxing instructed Xiao Luming that after his victory he should not delay and return to court immediately.

Of course, Xiao Luming could not defy his father, the Supreme Emperor, and was set to depart tomorrow.

As for Xie Qianyun and Wu Huahao, due to their severe injuries, they needed to recuperate at the Oasis for a period of time and would not depart.

An Ning naturally would not leave either.

And with An Ning’s staying, Xiao Jinxing would certainly come.

This was why Xiao Luming had to return immediately.

It was a cycle.

The moment Xie Qianyun heard that Xiao Luming was leaving, she actually felt quite excited.

In the past two days, she hadn’t seen Xiao Luming; ever since that day when she scared him, he hadn’t visited her tent.

Naturally, she hadn’t gone out either.

And she didn’t want to run into Xiao Luming outside.

Today, hearing that Xiao Luming was leaving, she couldn’t help but want to stroll outside in her wheelchair.

Thinking that once Xiao Luming left, she wouldn’t have to keep herself confined to her tent all day.

She went straight to find Wu Huahao.

For the past two days, Xie Qianyun hadn’t visited Wu Huahao, leaving him somewhat unhappy.

Thinking that since Xie Qianyun was having fun with the Emperor, she had forgotten him.

Now seeing Xie Qianyun come, he wanted to feign anger but couldn’t help but laugh.

"I thought once the Emperor returned, you’d forget me." Wu Huahao was slightly sour.

"Am I that kind of person? Besides, whether the Emperor returns or not doesn’t affect me."

"How could it not affect you? You haven’t come to find me for two days."

"I didn’t want the Emperor to see how ugly I look right now. You don’t know, the first day he returned and saw me, he got so scared he ran right out of my tent. He hasn’t visited me these past two days. I’m afraid if I move around, I’ll run into the Emperor." Xie Qianyun explained.

"Does the Emperor dislike your face that much?"

"Absolutely not!" Xie Qianyun nodded.

Speaking of which, she was still somewhat angry.

The young Emperor was truly too heartless.

Even if he couldn’t accept her appearance, he could at least send Wu Shen to inquire about her.

This made her really awkward.

"You suffered these injuries for him..."

"Forget it, since we’re subjects and he’s the monarch, giving my life for him is only right, let alone suffering some injuries." Xie Qianyun was carefree, "Besides, he’s leaving tomorrow, so I no longer have to avoid him."

"Oh." Wu Huahao nodded.

"How’s your leg? Is it improving a bit? Has the Empress Dowager seen it? Can you stand?" Xie Qianyun asked many questions in one breath.

"The Empress Dowager came a few times, didn’t say I’d definitely be able to stand, but she said she’d do her best." Wu Huahao said, "She also told me not to have too high hopes, my leg injury is different from the Supreme Emperor’s back then. The Supreme Emperor was poisoned and his muscles and bones weren’t damaged, while mine were broken live, so keeping the legs without amputation is lucky, hoping to stand again is not easy. She also said even if I do stand again, mounting a horse for battle would be unlikely. In short, she wants me prepared for the worst."

Listening, Xie Qianyun felt somewhat distressed.

Such a fine young man Wu Huahao was, how could he spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair?

"It’s okay, I’ve come to terms with it now. Being alive is already a blessing in disguise." Wu Huahao comforted Xie Qianyun, "Moreover, even though the Empress Dowager told me to prepare for the worst, she didn’t say I definitely couldn’t stand or fight again. I believe as long as I don’t give up, I will succeed someday."

"Man conquers nature." Xie Qianyun encouraged, touched by Wu Huahao’s resilience, "I’ll definitely help you recover too."

"Hmm." Wu Huahao nodded.

As he nodded, he seemed to think of something.

He said, "If one day I stand, would you marry me?"

Xie Qianyun looked at Wu Huahao.

Wu Huahao’s face turned red, meeting Xie Qianyun’s gaze with visible embarrassment, but his eyes showed no hesitation, and he promised firmly, word by word, "The Emperor may disdain you, but I will never disdain you my whole life."
