The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Li Xiying tilted her eyes slightly.

Madam Xiang looked at her and continued, "It was because of her that the Yanqi people have been covered in sores for decades, and there is no cure until now. The strange thing is that although it is an epidemic, they can eat and sleep, and only their appearance is affected. Let me talk about twenty years ago. At that time, I learned that the Yanqi royal regime had changed. In the chaotic situation, my brother died suddenly, and the Yanqi people migrated to Tang. At that time, a Yanqi general brought my late brother's pregnant concubine, and the child born by that concubine was Aqi... General Yanqi told me that the Yanqi people got the epidemic because of that concubine! Although these news were all narrated by General Yanqi, I have sent people to verify it many times over the years, and there are no major mistakes or omissions."

When Li Xi heard this, he remembered that the historians also talked about the origin of the sores among the Yanqi people. He also heard the story of that concubine. However, he did not expect that Long Qi was also related to this story.

Madam Xiang said, "Do you know how Aqi met you in the Yanqi village last night? It was the Yanqi general, Bahar, who called Aqi there to meet his biological mother! Aqi had only just learned about all these secrets, but he informed me before leaving! But I never thought that, perhaps by fate, he would save you there!"

"So that's how it is." After understanding everything, Li Xi was still a little confused. "Since Madam Xiang and Long Qi are both from the Yanqi royal family, why did they dare to lie to you?"

Madam Xiang said helplessly: "Perhaps they have lived in the wild mountains for a long time, and the royal family is in decline, so they dare to do this! But, I don't understand why they dare to use this lame disguise to deceive me."

Before the prime minister's wife spoke, Li Xi could vaguely feel that she might have been involved with the Yanqi people in her early years, but she didn't expect that the prime minister's wife would tell her everything she knew. The story had been kept secret for many years, but at this moment she understood it thoroughly, and she was so unreserved, which showed her true feelings.

Li Xiying understood that those secrets were nothing more than knowing them, and they were all in the past. All she could do was to focus on the present, so she asked, "Madam, did you suffer any loss?"

Madam Xiang smiled, "I didn't suffer any loss, but it's not pleasant to be deceived." She sighed, "That day, a Yanqi woman pretended to be you and married Aqi. I didn't notice anything unusual about her. I thought you two were a good match, and I was planning to discuss the three letters and six ceremonies with my in-laws... Fortunately, everything was just talk. Aqi exposed her true colors before she could do anything."

Seeing that she showed no change of expression, Madam Xiang continued.

Speaking of this, the lady looked at Li Xi's thinner figure, and her eyes became red again, "I should have seen through it earlier."

"After she escapes this time, she won't come back again." Li Xiying comforted.

Therefore, it was indeed the Yanqi woman who wanted to use the art of disguise to steal the identity of a Central Plains woman and marry Long Qi, so she was tied up and taken to the Yanqi village and locked in the cellar.

In this way, the Yanqi woman would have the identity of a princess, a fairly good identity, and she could live a different life from then on.

She was arranged to be taken back to Yanqi Village by Shi Yu, and helped Shi Yu solve the major issue in his life. At the same time, Mrs. Qiao gained a good reputation among the bachelors in Yanqi Village for helping them solve their problems.

If it had not been revealed, it would have been a perfect practice.

The strange thing is, how did Long Qi see through everything and find her in Yanqi Village?

He is so smart!

However, no matter what, Long Qi saved her from danger, this is beyond doubt, and if he had any grudges with the Yanqi people, that is another matter.

"Madam, our adopted husband is here." The maid came over to report.

Madam Xiang looked at Li Xi and saw that there was nothing wrong with him, so she said, "Let him in."

The maid opened the door at her instruction.

However, Long Qi brought a doctor who was nearly 70 years old and followed closely behind him.

"Auntie." He glanced sideways and saw that Li Xiying had woken up. The solemnity on his face eased a little, and then he said to the prime minister's wife, "Xiying has been poisoned. I have invited a doctor to take a look at her."

"Poisoned?" The lady was shocked and turned to look at her pale face. "The Yanqi people actually poisoned her?"

She thought that this weak appearance was due to being hungry for a few days, but she didn't expect...

Long Qi said in a deep voice: "Last night, she took a full half an hour to recover after she fell ill, and then fainted. If she was poisoned, we have to find out what the poison is, so my nephew called this old doctor from the capital to take a look."

After hearing this, the prime minister's wife quickly made way and let the doctor take a look.

Li Xixiao waved her hands and said, "Thank you, Madam and Sir. I am fine for now. Just send me back. My fourth uncle knows medicine and he will definitely help me detoxify."

The prime minister's wife shook her head, stepped forward and held her cold hand, "I know you are afraid that your uncle is worried about your safety at this time, but you have barely saved your life and entered the prime minister's residence again, so it is natural that you need to hire a doctor and ask for medicine."

Madam Xiang tucked her in, "You don't know, before you woke up, I told Aqi to find a doctor and report to your uncle's house that you are safe. You are here with me, so you don't have to worry about anything. I thought I would feel more at ease if you recovered here before going back, but now you are poisoned, so you can't move around. Besides, the doctor is here, why don't you let him take a look? It will also make me feel at ease?"

Li Xiqi thought what he heard made sense. The doctor was already here, and it would be inappropriate to refuse further, so he had no choice but to follow suit and let the doctor take his pulse.

After the old doctor took the patient's pulse and then looked and smelled the patient, he sighed and shook his head, then frowned and said, "This disease seems to be poisonous but not poisonous, and seems to be a witchcraft but not a witchcraft. Even though I have been a doctor for sixty years, I dare not say what the poison is, let alone prescribe medicine to treat it carelessly."

"What do you mean by it's like poison but not poison, like a Gu but not a Gu?" Long Qi asked with a frown.

The doctor replied, "That's it..." He thought for a moment and asked Li Xiying, "Have you seen what the poison you took was?"

That scene suddenly emerged in her mind, and she recalled carefully: "It was a decoction made from poisonous insects. The insects looked like worms born from decay, and they were alive. I could smell the strong fishy smell in the decoction. I can't tell what kind of insect it is, but maybe I can draw it."

"Poisonous insects?" The old doctor stroked his white beard and understood. "Young lady, if you put it that way, then it's correct. There's no need to draw it. It's a poisonous insect that is prevalent in the Western Regions and parasitizes the human body. The so-called parasite is called Gu. If it's mild, the whole body will ache. If it's severe, the insect will control your movements. Fortunately, the Gu you ate won't kill you, nor will it control your thoughts and movements. But if there's no antidote, using other methods to force the insects out will only deplete your vitality, which is not worth the loss."

"So, do you have an antidote for this poison?" asked Madam Xiang.

The doctor shook his head and said solemnly: "If we have to damage the root of the disease to get rid of it, it is better to coexist with it."

“Coexist with Gu?” Long Qi frowned.

Madam Xiang said, "Even if this poisonous insect won't kill people, it's not a good thing. If it's as easy as you say, why would she be so weak?" Madam Xiang was still worried. "Since the doctor knows that this poison is a poisonous insect, why don't you think of a compromise to get rid of it?"

"lady……"

At this time, a maid reported to the lady that a man claiming to be Li Xi's uncle had arrived.

Li Xiying was slightly stunned.

After hearing this, the prime minister's wife had to relax her brows and go in person to welcome him.

At this time, only Long Qi and Li Xiying were left in the room, staring at each other.
