The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Although Li Xi was puzzled, she did not think too much about it and said, "Just wear my skirt and return the red dress to them later. Maybe they made a mistake."

Amber looked embarrassed. Normally, she would let them wash the princess' clothes, but today was different. "Just now, that maid took all the princess' clothes away, saying that there were insects in the house and they had to wash them all. I couldn't argue with them, so I let them take them."

There were only five or six items after all, so she didn't think too much about it.

"Those maids aren't the ones I usually come into contact with, and I don't know if they are from Madam's side."

Amber lifted the shoulder of the red dress and spread it out for the princess to take a closer look.

Li Xi glanced at it. Although it was a wedding dress, it looked a little plain. Since she had no other clothes, she had no choice but to wear it. She would not go out and no one would see what she was wearing.

While Amber was helping her get dressed, there was some noise outside and soon someone started making a noise in the corridor in the distance.

The breeze from the window blew through the branches, causing the leaves to rustle slightly, but she felt as if a storm was about to come.

Fourth uncle said that we should avoid wind in the next half month. If there was a commotion outside before, it would not have disturbed her, but now it has been more than a month, nothing should happen, so she looked in the direction of the sound.

Little did they know that in the distant corridor——

Long Qi stopped the servant who was about to report and asked him why he was in such a hurry.

The servant pointed out of the mansion out of breath, and the sound of gongs and drums could be faintly heard.

"My dear husband, there is a wedding procession outside the mansion for no apparent reason. They are blocking the entrance to the Prime Minister's residence and claiming they are here to take Miss Li back to the Liang Mansion!"

Long Qi frowned and went to the gate of the prime minister's residence, and the servant continued to report to the prime minister.

At the same time, Li Xixuan was planning how to say goodbye to his wife in a few days and how to go back to discuss returning to the villa with his fourth uncle, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

After Amber opened the door, a group of people rushed in, approaching and saying, "Madam Li, please follow us!"

Li Xixiao frowned slightly, not knowing what was going on. Amber stopped her and said, "Where are you taking us? My young lady is too weak to obey you."

Obviously, even Amber could see that the other party was not doing this for no reason and was afraid that it was a trick.

"How can you have the final say?" After saying that, several servants tried to grab Li Xi's wrist.

At the critical moment, someone shouted.

"stop!"

The person who came was Long Qi. He took only one step to force the servants to retreat, and said in displeasure: "Who told you to do this?"

Li Xi, who was standing in front of him, was wearing a red dress without any makeup, with a slightly red face, and a beautiful figure like a Chu waist and a ragged collar, which made him frown. She wanted to leave half a month ago, but her aunt had always kept her. Who would have thought that today the prime minister's people would come to arrest her and take her away.

Her face was only temporarily rosy from having just taken a bath. Normally she would have rested on the couch, but now she looked a little weak, so she naturally could not let them do whatever they wanted.

A deep, middle-aged male voice rang out from outside: "Me!"

Amber still protected Li Xiying, looking at the middle-aged man who answered the question outside with a vigilant look on her face.

"Uncle?" Long Qi was puzzled.

The prime minister's face was gloomy, and he looked at Li Xi's expression with a hint of speculation, and then said: "The King of Liang came to ask for someone. This woman is not from the palace. Why hide her?"

Long Qi's eyes were dark, not knowing why the prime minister was like this today. He just argued: "If the King of Liang wants someone, we should hand him over. Uncle, have you thought about the consequences of obeying him like this?"

The prime minister laughed. "How can you talk to me confidently without the protection of the prime minister's mansion? Aqi, you are a smart and wise child, but there are some things that you don't understand. Even if the late emperor is still alive, you have to pretend to be confused!"

Long Qi naturally felt that there was something else behind his words, and vaguely felt that he knew something, so he asked, "Uncle, do you know who she is?"

The prime minister raised his eyes without commenting, "You are a wise man, Aqi!"

Then he looked at Li Xiying, "This is not your hiding place, let's go!"

After that, the prime minister ordered his men to capture Li Xi.

Her face was glum, but she forced herself to stay awake. She understood the situation from their conversation. Now it was King Liang who was asking the prime minister for someone, and she had become the prime minister's tool to flatter him.

She raised her eyes slightly and said, "Don't bother me, Prime Minister. I wanted to leave a long time ago, but I didn't expect that staying for too many days would put me in an even more embarrassing situation!"

The prime minister smiled and said, "Young lady, I'm afraid this is a misunderstanding. If the King of Liang comes to ask for someone, even if it's the palace, you have to hand him over, even if you are... a princess!"

A look of surprise appeared on Li Xi's face. So the prime minister knew her identity?

Then there is an explanation for not pursuing the issue of her "poisoning" before.

"Take this young lady away quickly!"

At the prime minister's urging, the servants beside him were about to take action. Amber glared at them and slapped their arms desperately, "We will leave, you must not be rude!"

The scene was a bit chaotic. Amber was grabbed by the arm and fell to the side amid the pushing and shoving, and Li Xiying's hand was almost grabbed by someone as well.

It was because Long Qi protected her in time that when the servants were about to pounce on her again, he stretched out his legs to kick them down, grabbed Li Xiying's waist, leaped out of the open space in a few steps, and jumped onto the top of the wall.

The lady heard the noise from afar, and when she saw the servants clenching their fists and pulling their sleeves together, she also rushed out in a hurry, but she was startled when she saw the person on the wall, "Aqi? Come down quickly, what are you doing?"

When the prime minister saw his wife, his expression changed suddenly, and he said to the maidservants beside him: "What are you doing? Aren't you supposed to serve the lady well?"

Apparently the Madam also understood that the maid had just said inexplicably that the Prime Minister wanted to drink the soup made by the Madam herself, but in fact she was trying to get her away.

She looked at the prime minister in confusion, her face still warm, "My lord, what happened?"

Li Xiying had just been pushed around and felt dizzy. The sound of the wind whistled past her ears like sand and stones. Outside, she felt a tightness in her chest and her eyes were blurry. Suddenly, she felt as if all her strength had been lost and she became limp and helpless.

Long Qi was startled, and held her tightly in an upright position without moving. Suddenly, the wind blew and the sky darkened. He said solemnly to the prime minister: "Uncle, I respect you as an elder, and I respect you even more as an old minister who has assisted several generations of emperors. But I will not obey you at this time. Even if she is not a beautiful girl or an ordinary person, you have no right to touch her!"

The prime minister's face turned pale, and he pointed at him and said, "You..."

The lady did not hear the hidden meaning behind Aqi's "Qiongzhiyuye" words, and looked at the prime minister and called him "you" for a long time without being able to explain what he meant. Usually, this was a symptom of being too angry and having the qi and blood attacking the heart.

She questioned the servant beside her.

The servant replied tremblingly, "Yes, it was the King of Liang who sent a sedan chair to take Madam Li away."

The lady suddenly realized what was happening and said angrily, "You can't do this! Her uncle gave her to me, but now she is missing from my hands. How can I explain this to you?"

He had clearly agreed with the prime minister a month ago, but why did he betray him so easily in the blink of an eye?

The prime minister looked embarrassed and sighed, "Madam, there is no point in talking any more!" Then he turned to Long Qi and said, "Aqi, are you going to disobey your uncle for an outsider?"

The kindness of more than twenty years has long surpassed the apparent grace of raising a child. Long Qi lowered his eyes and remained silent.
