The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

The sun was shining brightly yesterday, but it is gloomy today, just like Prime Minister Cui who is now returning home exhausted from a journey.

Normally, his wife would greet him, and even though he had been dismissed from his post several times, he had never been so angry.

Madam Xiang asked worriedly, "What's wrong with my husband? He has been so depressed since he came back?"

When the prime minister saw his wife's concerned face, he could not help feeling bitter and said angrily, "That damn Zhu Wen, I'm afraid he's about to cross the river and destroy the bridge!"

She took the water that the lady had the maid pour for him and used it to calm him down.

The prime minister drank it in one gulp and smashed the cup.

The maid was so frightened that she trembled and dared not move.

Upon seeing this, the lady asked the maid to clean up the floor and told him to leave. She knew that the prime minister must have suffered a lot of humiliation in the court this time.

She didn't say much, but silently took off a layer of his outer robe for him, "My husband must feel a little hot after just coming back. I'll have someone cook some soup to reduce your heat."

The prime minister's outer robe was taken off, and the solemnity in his eyes returned a little. He held his wife's hand and sighed, "Madam, ah..."

After he finished sighing, his wife stood up and said slowly, "Although I have never heard my husband talk about the affairs of the court, there are rumors about Zhu Wen in the streets. I believe that my husband can do everything well, so I naturally don't want to believe the rumors. But... this is the first time that my husband has taken out his anger on the servants in the mansion because of other things..."

When the prime minister heard his wife's words, his eyes turned red. "Madam, I was foolish... If I hadn't promoted him, how could he have ended up like this if he had just relied on me! Now that his wife has died of illness, he has nowhere to vent his rage and violence. He should have planned to blame me long ago!"

The lady was not calm in her heart. She thought for a while and said, "I have heard that Zhang was beautiful and intelligent, and she was able to restrain Zhu Wen. Now that he is gone, he must be wild and difficult to discipline. My husband has suffered from his anger in the court, so don't provoke him again."

The prime minister shook his head and waved his sleeves, "I'm afraid it's too late." Then he seemed to remember something and took two steps, "By the way, is the young lady surnamed Li still in the mansion?"

The lady didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned her, so she nodded.

His eyes were like torches, his eyebrows were raised, and he asked, "Do you know where she comes from?"

"He's from Luoyang." Madam Xiang said ignorantly.

Looking at the lady's confused appearance, it seems that she is still in the dark about her identity.

The prime minister did not tell the secret any more to trouble her, and continued to speak in a pretentious manner: "I don't know where Zhu Wen got the news, but he said that he has taken a fancy to that 'young lady from Luoyang'..."

"Like her?" The lady was puzzled, wondering when Zhu Wen got to know Xi Ying.

The prime minister recalled: "Zhu Wen held a funeral banquet today and invited everyone to attend. During the banquet, Zhu Wen was drunk and did not mention a word about his wife's death. He only hinted that there was a beautiful girl hidden in the prime minister's mansion. He was very satisfied with her appearance and his words were full of desire..."

At that time, people around were flattering the prime minister and asked him to present the woman to him.

Zhu Wen also said: "I think the prime minister must know the identity of the woman surnamed Li?"

The prime minister in the seat frowned. Of course he knew who she was. How could he feel at ease with a woman who stayed with his wife? Naturally, he had sent people to find out her background. Even though her identity was beyond his imagination, she was not a messy person after all!

Therefore, he also knew that the maid in the mansion framed him that day. The person who framed others was easy to catch, but the instigator was difficult to catch. He had been investigating the people behind the scenes, so he pretended to turn a blind eye.

The lady frowned and shook her head after hearing this, saying, "No, if we push her out, wouldn't that harm her? You, I, and even the people of Chang'an all know who Zhu Wen is! She is the daughter of a good family, why should we let her wade into this muddy water?"

"Madam, people of good character know how to keep themselves safe. Think about it, if she really is from that kind of family, how could she let Zhu Wen get to know her so easily?" the prime minister said anxiously.

The wife of the prime minister couldn't help but be shocked. When did her husband become like this?

The prime minister only cared about his wife and children, and everything else was secondary. And if Zhu Wen succeeded one day, not to mention the princess, even the prince would not have a good ending.

He knew that it was difficult for his wife to understand, so the prime minister comforted her softly, "It may not be a disaster for her, madam, please don't worry about her!"

"You listened to me when I told you not to do this. Could it be that you had the same mood towards Zhier at the beginning? You just said that she was lost and that's it. Don't worry about her!" The lady was so angry that she just covered her face and cried.

The prime minister was annoyed and after a lot of persuasion failed, he had to agree temporarily.

The weather is getting hotter, and it's dry even at night.

Li Xiying had just finished taking the medicine. After nearly a month of rest, she felt much better, but she was still a little weak, which was unexpected for her. She thought she would be fully recovered in just half a month.

Amber gradually became familiar with the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the maids under her also kept calling her by her name. So today, when the princess finished drinking the medicine and broke out in a light sweat, she asked someone to help carry the bathtub into the bedroom as usual so that the princess could take a medicinal bath.

His Royal Highness Prince Xian repeatedly warned me not to be attacked by cold wind, and then asked someone to bring me a prescription for a medicinal bath three times a week. Therefore, I usually stayed in the room, and at most opened the door to let in the sunlight.

So much so that half a month ago...the Fourth Young Master seemed to have come to say goodbye, but her princess was taking a bath so she didn't get to say a word to him.

However, Silangjun didn't care. He just asked Amber to convey a message, saying that he wanted to follow like-minded people to leave Chang'an and go to Luoyang to open a chess shop.

Through the gap in the window, Amber could see that the man was wearing a gray robe as gloomy as the sky. After he finished speaking, he still lingered under the tree, but left after a while.

While she was thinking, there was a knock on the door. The maid who delivered the clothes this time was obviously not the one she usually met. Amber went outside to take the clothes and was slightly surprised when she saw the bright color of the clothes.

"Is this for my little lady?"

The maid outside answered yes and left.

Amber couldn't help but feel confused and wanted to ask more questions, so she just brought in the clothes obediently.

Li Xixiao soaked in the tub, relieving the fatigue from the attacks of venomous insects over the past half month.

I was bored and recalled the experience in Yanqi Village that day. The woman imprisoned in the cellar looked skinny and the food she ate was not even as good as pig food. And judging from her appearance, it was obvious that she was fed poisonous insects as a routine. After all, there was no resistance in her eyes, only endless ridicule.

Even so, she was not tortured to death. She knew clearly that the Yanqi people would torture her body day after day and year after year and consume her will, but she was still alive and well. What kind of belief supported her?

Suddenly she remembered a story told by Shi Yu, saying that the poison in the bodies of the common people in Yanqi was all caused by a concubine.

But Madam Xiang said that Longqi's biological mother was also in Yanqi Village.

After some reasoning and judgment, it was definitely that she was the concubine. They fed her the poisonous insects just to force her to reveal the antidote.

The day you don't speak out, you will suffer.

She admired the concubine's willpower and the fact that she would not compromise because of this.

The water temperature gradually became colder, and Amber reminded her to get up and get dressed. Only then did she see that the clothes on the plate were actually a bright red dress with a green collar.

Amber picked up the dress and looked at it, then pouted and said, "Princess, this dress is too eye-catching!" It looked like a wedding dress that she had hurriedly bought at a clothing store.

Who has nothing better to do than dress like a bride?
