The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Long Qi immediately felt Li Xiying's shaky body, shielded her from the wind, took off his coat and covered her with it, and said in a resounding tone: "Uncle has made a mistake, and it is natural for your nephew to stop him!"

"You've really grown too powerful!" the prime minister said with red eyes.

The lady looked disappointed, and slowly shook her head as she looked at the prime minister. "If a man has no backbone, he cannot stand firm! If you are just trying to protect yourself, then it is really disappointing. How can a mere Zhu Wen make you so scared? I think Aqi did the right thing!"

There will be strong winds in this weather, which seems to be a sign of rain.

"She can't stand the wind, take her away quickly!"

"lady……"

Long Qi picked up Li Xiying and left using Qinggong.

The prime minister saw Long Qi holding Li Xiying, who was dressed in red, and looked at the two departing figures. He felt powerless to change the situation, so he sighed and stopped talking.

"What's the point of him protecting her?"

"Now Zhu Wen is becoming more cunning and treacherous, and the power of the other princes is weakening. I am afraid that even if they are tied together, they will not be able to hinder him. If there is a proper reason before, my power may also be weakened! If I want to overthrow everything, I must have an opportunity to strangle him!"

Madam didn't understand, but she was just feeling overwhelmed. "I just know that I shouldn't let greed blind me and allow Zhu Wen to do such a violent and brutal thing!"

The prime minister did not blame his wife for being ignorant, and continued, "The one that Aqi took away was the thirteenth princess of the current emperor, named Tang Xing! If the princess was taken as a concubine by the King of Liang, then the princes and the ministers in the court headed by me would have a reason to punish him! Then we can jointly attack him, and sacrificing her for the entire Tang Dynasty would be a blessing!"

"If that's the case, what did you do in the first place? Now that things have come to this, sacrificing a woman would be a blessing?" asked the lady.

"How could I be a foolish and incompetent person..." He did it for the sake of the Tang Dynasty! When the eunuchs were in power, how did they gradually purge the emperor's side and eliminate the eunuch party... However, Zhu Wen was the most cooperative in suppressing the eunuchs' power. Who would have thought that he would become stronger and stronger and become the biggest threat!

Zhu Wen ordered his nephew to stay in Beijing this year, just to make preparations for the royal family step by step!

The prime minister felt extremely distressed when he thought of this.

A few months ago, Zhu Wen had his nephew pretend to be a new recruit and went to the prime minister's new recruit camp to play polo. Unfortunately, his nephew was unlucky and fell off the horse and died.

Zhu Wen's nephew died. His nephew died in the prime minister's new military camp!

Zhu Wen originally thought that he had lost a spy in Beijing, but his joy did not last long. He blamed the prime minister for the death of his beloved nephew. As a result, the two of them had an open feud. Even if Zhu Wen repeatedly tolerated him, there was nothing he could do.

This time, it is more of a disguised threat.

As for Zhu Wen, even the emperor had to stand on Zhu Wen's side, so now no one could go against his will...

All the reasons turned into silent lamentations. Although he was the prime minister, he was already at the end of his strength. If he didn't let things go, he would only wait for death.

His old eyes were red as he muttered, "Aqi used to eat my food and use my things, but now he has become a traitor. What's the difference between him and that thief Zhu?"

"When did he eat your food and use your things? When he was still in swaddling clothes, my clan brought enough wealth and property. Don't forget that he is a descendant of the Yanqi royal family! If it weren't for the wealth and property he brought, how could he have helped you overcome difficulties in the past twenty years? Don't put the cart before the horse." Madam Xiang said with red eyes.

The prime minister was speechless, and his usually docile wife now showed her claws.

Over the years, he was repeatedly dismissed from his position as prime minister, his mansion was sealed, and his family members, young and old, were homeless. It was indeed Long Qi's treasure that alleviated their difficulties.

"More than ten years ago, Zhier was lost. Do you think I really didn't blame you for your incompetence?" The lady cried, clutching her chest.

"Sir! No matter whether it is blessing or disaster, it is inevitable. If Zhu Wen has become so unscrupulous, why should he be afraid of the various vassal forces and the forces in the court? In the end, it will only give him a reason to rebel!"

"Madam..." The Prime Minister hesitated to speak.

This is all a ridiculous farce after all.

The prime minister ordered people to send the wedding procession away.

During this period, Dalang was also dealing with the prime minister in official circles, Erlang was out doing business, Sanlang was absent-minded and not at home all day, and Silang ignored the advice and left Chang'an to go to Luoyang to open a chess shop.

Only Dalang's wife, children and lady were left at home, so he naturally couldn't let anything unexpected happen in the mansion again!

As the sky gradually darkened, Li Xixiao suddenly developed a high fever in the guest house.

Long Qi tucked her trembling hands into the quilt, stood by her side, and poured warm water over her forehead to cool her down.

Her cheeks were burning and her lips were crimson. She felt a vague shadow in front of her, not knowing whether it was real or not. She pulled her hand out and grabbed a person's sleeve tightly, as if she had grabbed a vine in the abyss, until her consciousness gradually faded.

It was almost midnight when her temperature dropped after she broke out in a sticky sweat.

It was early morning when Li Xi opened her eyes.

The room was quiet. She only remembered that Long Qi took her away from the Prime Minister's residence yesterday in a fierce wind despite the Prime Minister's obstruction.

For some reason, she was still sweating all over and shivering in the quilt.

She looked around and drooped her eyelashes weakly. She thought he would send her back to Prince Xian's mansion, but unexpectedly he just put her in the upper room of the inn.

But coming to think of it, how should he explain to his fourth uncle what the Prime Minister's Mansion did yesterday?

After a while, someone opened the door. He was holding a food box, which contained the medicine that he had asked the shopkeeper to make. When he saw that she had woken up, he took out the bowl of medicine and said softly, "Take the medicine first."

There was still slight steam coming out of the bowl. It was the first time for him to take care of a patient like this.

He helped Li Xiying up and gently placed the medicine bowl against her lips.

Li Xi opened his eyes slightly and smelled the familiar smell of medicine, but did not take the medicine bowl to drink.

Fearing that she might misunderstand, Long Qi explained, "I wanted to send you back to the palace yesterday, but the road to the palace was a little long and I was afraid you wouldn't be able to stand, so I could only place you in the guest house closest to the prime minister's residence."

After hearing this, she didn't say anything, but took the cup and drank it all.

But——I still feel cold.

A hand was placed on her forehead, very warm.

It wasn’t hot, he paused for a moment and asked, “Are you cold?”

Li Xixiao nodded. Even after sleeping for so long, she still felt weak and drowsy, and as cold as if she were in an ice cellar.

There was a knock on the door at this time, Long Qi opened it, and someone entered the room carrying a huge bathtub. Several servants poured bucket after bucket of hot water into the tub, with the aroma of medicine wafting in the air. Soon the tub was full.

Soon the whole room was filled with the smell of medicine.

After one of them finished pouring the last bucket of hot soup, he said, "Sir, the medicinal soup you ordered has been poured into the bathtub."

After Long Qi asked them to leave, he said, "The last time King Xian sent someone to tell you that if you accidentally catch a cold, you should soak in hot water for half an hour and keep the water warm to drive away the cold."

Li Xiying looked at the two of them in the room and felt a little uncomfortable. She wanted to stand up but her legs were weak.

He was fine yesterday, but he became unrecognizable after the wind blew.
