The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Li Xixiao almost vomited all his bile when he realized that the food this woman had been eating was worse than that of pigs and dogs?

The woman finally came to her senses and said, "I have eaten these things for decades and have long been accustomed to them. They used to be hard for me to swallow, but now that I am giving them to you, I have forgotten this..."

She looked apologetic, with a hint of self-mockery in her sunken eye sockets, and then said, "But I don't have anything else to eat."

Li Xi was horrified, but also felt a little pity for her. She shook her head and declined, "No need."

After all this, her mouth tasted bitter and she couldn't eat anything.

I didn’t expect that this woman had been imprisoned for decades and suffered inhuman torture but was still alive!

She said, “This is the first time in all these years that someone has been locked up to keep me company.”

"So you were captured when you were young, and then locked up here for decades without going out?" It seems that although this place has been built like a cage for decades, she has always been the only one locked up.

She couldn't help but feel an inexplicable feeling of fear in her heart.

The woman carefully packed up the food and said, "You don't think I'm locked up here because I can't get out, do you?"

She smiled, "Even if they didn't lock the door, I wouldn't go out. I did it on purpose. But what about you? If you are locked up, will your grandfather be able to find any clues to find you? If he knew, he would probably turn this place upside down." She laughed again, "Kidnapping the princess is a capital crime punishable by the death of all nine generations of the clan. Do they really think you are the same as me?..."

Perhaps because she hadn't spoken for a long time, the woman spoke in a mysterious voice, sometimes smiling and sometimes expressionless.

Li Xi asked her: "How do you know my identity?"

The woman raised her eyes to look at her and said slowly, "Your manners and conversation can reveal something. Otherwise, how can I conclude that you were born in the palace? Nothing can be hidden from my eyes."

Li Xizhen admired her observation skills and couldn't help wondering: "Since I grew up in the palace, why can't I be a maid or a concubine?"

The woman shook her head. "A maid has her own rules, and a princess has her own manners. Naturally, there is a huge gap between the two. The imperial concubine is no exception."

"You also came out of the palace?" Li Xiying couldn't help but ask curiously, how could someone who came out of the palace end up in such a state?

She didn't comment, hid the food, and then turned around: "They always cut off my food. Although this is not a good thing, it is better than nothing."

"You haven't answered my question yet." Li Xiying asked.

The woman was not impatient, she just looked at her deeply, "Didn't you also not answer my question?"

Li Xizhen then remembered the question she had just asked: "Which princess is it? How was she imprisoned?"

"I am the Thirteenth Princess. How I was imprisoned is a long story. To make a long story short, I sent those Yanqi people who committed crimes to prison, allowing those who escaped to take revenge. As a result, I was sleeping soundly in the mansion the night before, and on the way here the next day."

"The people of Yanqi are all like this. When they do something wrong, they don't have the courage to bear the consequences, and they are masters at confusing right and wrong..."

Li Xiwei didn't know if they were talking about the same thing.

"Which emperor is in power today?"

When asked this question, Li Xiyi answered without hesitation: "My grandfather succeeded to the throne in the first year of Wende. He is the seventh son of the late emperor..."

She was distracted, and then she counted on her fingers, then smiled, "He ascended the throne in the first year of Wende... I guess the throne has changed several times. Do you know anything about the vassal kings?"

"Vagrant king? Who are you talking about?" Li Xiying looked at her eyes and there seemed to be a glimmer of light in them from this moment on.

"Of course it's the one who is most favored by the emperor..." After asking, she realized that the world is ever-changing and unpredictable, and the rise and fall are unpredictable. The person she asked about might have already lost the title of "the most favored".

"The most powerful prince I know of now is Zhu Wen, who was just named King of Liang this year." Li Xiqi said truthfully.

The woman was surprised and stopped talking.

"You haven't told me who you are yet?" After saying so much, she still hasn't revealed her identity.

The woman said nothing more.

Suddenly, the cellar became a little brighter. Someone came and brought a food box.

The woman obviously knew that someone would come down at this time, so she deliberately stopped talking?

But according to the time, now is not meal time.

There were a few gray-haired old ladies who skillfully took out a bowl of something from the food box and sat aside. It could be seen that there was soup in it.

The people around the old woman opened the door very familiarly, pulled out the woman who had been locked inside, and interrogated her as usual.

"Greetings!"

Several old ladies were not much older than her, but much fatter than her. Their faces had wrinkles and the unique ulcers of the Yanqi people. One of them said, "I advise the princess to tell us the antidote quickly, so that we don't have to suffer so much. If you tell us, we can give you your freedom!"

The reason why Li Xiying could understand what they were saying was because they were speaking the Central Plains dialect, but with a slight accent.

Others echoed: "Yes, maybe we can reunite with our families after we get out. Why suffer for ourselves year after year?"

The woman's arms were tied and she was forced to kneel on the ground. She looked up and laughed it off. "It's really ridiculous. I don't have any relatives in the world to care about. You are all old bones. If you don't feel tired doing this every day, then just do it."

Those people were a little surprised to hear these words. They hadn't said a word most of the time for such a long time, but today they said so much. However, they were just being stubborn!

As usual, the old women squeezed her chin fiercely and held her shoulders and arms to prevent her from struggling.

The squirming creature in the soup was close to her mouth. The old woman said angrily again: "No matter how you want to die, you can't use us as your scapegoat!"

The kneeling woman laughed and said, "If I wanted to die, I would have died long ago. I just want to live well and watch how his people are suffering because of him! Haha, your late king was willing to take you as his oath that day, so there is no reason to say anything today. The suffering, pain, resentment and hatred are all caused by him. Instead of interrogating me here, why not dig out his bones and boil them, so that I can taste the soup made by this unfaithful man, and that can be considered revenge for you."

"You are such a crazy woman! If you still refuse to reform, don't blame us. If you die in our hands one day, you can't blame us either. It's all your own fault." As they said this, several people held her down at the same time and forced the medicine down her throat.

"Gulp gurgle..." The medicine made a sound of water as it went down their throats, and they held it in for fear of wasting it until they had swallowed all of it in their mouths.

But I didn't hold the soup bowl firmly and it fell to the ground, but there were only a few drops left.

The bowl rolled all the way to Li Xi's feet. The edge of the bowl had several cracks. She could clearly see the finger-sized bugs in the bowl. They were still alive. After they fell to the ground, they crawled around and scattered.

"I didn't expect that after decades, you are still so stubborn. If you had said it earlier, you wouldn't have to suffer this." One of them looked at the woman slumped on the ground, his tone was sympathetic but seemed insincere.

"You still feel sorry for her? If it weren't for her strange poison technique, we wouldn't be in this state. She has done so much harm to us, so what is this suffering?"

The woman was lifted up and thrown back into the room. The poisonous insect had poisoned her, but she did not feel any pain for a while. Her eyes were just dazed, but she did not even utter a word to beg for mercy.

"Yes, but your son came to the village today. He will probably come to see you soon. I hope you won't be so stubborn then!"

After the old woman finished speaking, the woman who was locked in stared at them with bloodshot eyes and grabbed the door, "What did you say?"

They stared at each other for a while and said coldly, "We said your son is coming back to see you, so you better take care of yourself!"

Then the old ladies turned their eyes to Li Xiying.
