The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Several young ladies had varying degrees of injuries on their bodies, and their bodies were almost soaked. After drying themselves and changing into clean clothes, they looked less miserable, but they still had some injuries on their bodies.

Because these were just some superficial injuries, a doctor took their pulses and confirmed that they were fine, then gave them external medicine. However, Li Xi was afraid that it was not good enough, so she sent someone to the medicine store to get the medicine prepared by her fourth uncle.

The people who applied the medicine were mostly maids in the mansion.

The palace was crowded with people and very busy.

Their injuries were relatively subtle, mostly on their backs, arms, thighs…

They seemed not to notice that a man had mixed in with the crowd nearby.

Until Amber shouted in surprise: "Who are you? Please get out!"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and gathered their clothes in panic.

The man was obviously also startled. He lowered his head to his chest, hunched over, and wanted to go out but didn't dare to move.

"Don't disturb me, don't disturb me!"

Even though he tried hard to pretend, he still didn't look like a servant in the mansion.

This man was thin and stood aside in a white robe, holding medicine in his hand. After accidentally meeting Li Xi's eyes, a look of shock flashed across his face, and then he lowered his head so that no one could see the expression on his face.

Li Xiying was busy just now, and now she felt very strange to see that there was only one man in the room.

I had already given the orders, but I didn't expect that there would be someone who would take advantage of the loophole. I wonder what he is trying to do.

Li Xi took a quick glance and saw the ochre cloth bag he was carrying. He asked coldly, "What are you carrying?"

He stuttered back, "Yes... it's moxibustion."

Li Xixiao sneered. Was he pretending to be a doctor to deceive people? "You know acupuncture?"

He nodded and shook his head, "My medical skills are not good... I..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Xiqiong asked the maid to search it out to see what it was.

When I placed it on the table, I discovered that it was actually a row of silver needles of different sizes and thicknesses.

Li Xixiao sneered and asked, "Since you are not good at medicine but you still carry needles, who are you going to give the needles to?"

When Fourth Uncle was doing medical consultations, he was still concerned about the difference between men and women. If he could let a woman do it, he would not get involved. He didn't expect such an unknown person to sneak in.

He waved his hands quickly, then crossed his arms, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "My lady, you misunderstood. Xu Ba is indeed here to help. He would never be rude."

When he looked up, there was a calm look in his eyes when he met her gaze again.

Li Xiying gazed at him for a moment, and when she saw the scar on his face, she remembered the man who wanted to become an apprentice to learn medicine at the gate of the palace a few days ago. Judging from his name and appearance and figure, it was indeed him.

She still remembered that she had strictly refused on behalf of her fourth uncle, but she didn't expect that when she turned around, the person had already entered the mansion.

This person clearly had a strong purpose, and she couldn't understand why Fourth Uncle wanted to accept such a disciple. He appeared out of nowhere, and she didn't know his origins or background. If he had bad intentions, wouldn't he be in trouble?

She didn't have time to chat with him. Although she was dissatisfied with such a person, after all, he was accepted by her fourth uncle, so she had no time to say anything.

She said patiently, "They have a lot of skin injuries, and applying medicine will inevitably expose their skin. And we are not short of manpower here, so you can go out."

He put away the silver needle, apologized, and left in disgrace.

Li Xun's medicine was very effective. After applying the medicine, the swelling and bruises on the woman who was more seriously injured disappeared within just one hour.

The several injured women were all in a gloomy mood and it took a long time to comfort them before people were sent to send them home one by one.

The only one who was hurt the most was the only one who remained motionless, neither speaking nor crying silently. The other women cried with joy when they heard that they could go home, but she felt disappointed and just sat there blankly.

Li Xiying could see that she was slightly different from the others. Judging from her clothes and demeanor, she must be from a wealthy or noble family.

When she was the only one left in the room, he asked her where her home was. She just shook her head slightly. Although her eyes were dim, she kept looking at Li Xiying.

Since she didn't want to say anything, Li Xiying didn't ask for the time being. After sending the servants out, he told her to have a good rest.

"I didn't expect..." She said in a daze, "It was you who saved me."

Li Xiying was slightly stunned. Judging from her state, it seemed that she said this because she knew him.

As she was thinking, she spoke frankly and very slowly: "We met at the embroidery workshop, and later went to the prime minister's residence together. I remember that the prime minister's wife liked you very much."

"Embroidery workshop? Prime Minister's residence?"

After she said this, Li Xiying suddenly remembered.

This lady's swelling subsided the slowest. Looking at the purple and blue face in front of her, she seemed to remember someone. That person was almost the same height as her, but his expression was different.

Could it be that she went to the embroidery workshop with Cui Sanlang last time and only met him once? She vaguely remembered learning from the prime minister's wife that she was engaged to Cui Sanlang and her name was Yiyi.

But why would such a man with so many followers be targeted by this evil villain?

She was in a bad mood, with swollen eyes, completely lacking the spirit she had in the embroidery workshop last time. She only lowered her brows and said angrily: "Since you saved us, why did you let those beasts go?"

Chu Yiyi looked at Li Xiying, and the disappointment in her eyes was obvious.

"I..." Li Xiying was suddenly speechless. She had no time to explain and listened to her continue.

"If it weren't for the fact that two fists are no match for four hands, I would have made them die!" After the grief, her eyes suddenly showed a hint of hope, "Madam Li, you saved me, and I have no way to repay you. But I would like to ask you to help capture them and leave the rest to me. Even if I have to sacrifice my own life, I will grind them to dust!"

After hearing this, Li Xiying suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Madam Chu, do you think we just let them go?"

Chu Yiyi was stunned, not knowing what she meant.

"Since I took the trouble to save you, I will not let them go easily and leave troubles behind." In order to let her understand, Li Xiqi patiently explained, "You can rest assured. I have a fourth uncle who has 'dug a trap' in front and is waiting for them. This trap is the way to get solid evidence. If I let them go, wouldn't that be nurturing troubles? Naturally, the solution is to eliminate evil and punish evil."

After hearing this, hope shone in her eyes. She bowed to Li Xiying and said, "Chu Yiyi didn't know the whole story. I didn't expect that this was the way for you to punish evildoers. Please don't blame me."

Li Xiying knew that she was grateful not only because he saved her, but also because of her gratitude after hearing that he intended to bring the evildoer to justice.

She said softly, "How can I help you now?

Chu Yiyi felt guilty, but still looked up and pleaded: "Thanks to the thieves, I am now covered in wounds. It would be unsightly if I go back like this." At this point, her expression darkened, "I have been living in a dormitory since I came to Chang'an. My parents naturally don't know my situation. In Chang'an, I only have one relative, my aunt in the embroidery workshop. In fact, there is no need to tell anyone else."

Li Xixuan called the servant and asked him to go to the embroidery workshop to report safety to her aunt and asked her not to reveal what had happened today.

After hearing this, the servant left.

"In that case, then you can recover from your injuries here..." Li Xiying comforted.

Just at this moment, someone came to report something. Because Amber had received Li Xiying's previous instructions, she nodded slightly in understanding, opened the door and let the person in.

The messenger was speaking outside, his voice so soft as a mosquito, that the people in the house could not hear a word.

But after just a few breaths, Amber came in with a jubilant look on her face and whispered something in her ear.

After hearing this, Li Xiying turned to Chu Yiyi and smiled, "Shall we go together?"

What the person who just reported said was obviously good news. Chu Yiyi did not ask any further questions. She understood what he meant and followed Li Xiqi to the front hall.
