The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Long Qi reached out and helped her up.

She looked at the bony hand in front of her in confusion. Yesterday he had also stood in front of her in the same fierce and unprotected manner.

But she didn't understand, "Why did you disobey the prime minister for me?" After all, he was living under someone else's roof, how could he go back?

Long Qi smiled: "In your opinion, what should I do according to the situation at that time?"

Her gaze just barely touched Long Qi's deep eyes. There was a barely perceptible fatigue in his eyes, and a slightly dark circle under his eyelids... Perhaps he had not slept all night.

What happened yesterday was still fresh in her mind. She said softly, "No matter what, I should thank you."

He slightly turned his eyes away, then turned to her and said, "I should apologize to you on behalf of the Prime Minister. You can stay in the guest house for the time being, with the King Xian, and I will go to explain everything today."

Li Xiying hid the emotion in her eyes and smiled, "Actually, there is no need to explain anything. Even if it is my grandfather, there is no need to tell him everything in detail. Since it has already happened, it will only cause trouble if we talk about it."

The current situation is no longer as chaotic as that in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. She can no longer rely on her status to ask her grandfather to teach those who bullied her a lesson, so speaking out will only make more people angry.

Besides, Fourth Uncle also has someone he needs to take care of—Wei Yu.

When she recovered from her illness, she should go back to the village. Chang'an was not suitable for her to stay any longer. No matter what the queen arranged for her, Yu Lang from Shangzhou or Xia Lang from Xiazhou, she had thought it through. Choosing to play along in order to make her grandfather feel at ease about her marriage was just a self-deception.

She wants to live the life she wants!

She didn't know when his face suddenly appeared within reach, and a faint masculine scent permeated her body. She was stunned and realized that her body had lightened...

Long Qi hugged her around the waist, weighed her, and commented: "You have lost a lot of weight in the past few days."

Li Xiying realized that he seemed to have crossed the line again. She didn't think it was too unnatural before, but as it happened so many times, her heart unconsciously felt uneasy like a beating drum, so she pushed him away subconsciously.

This push wouldn't have been a big deal, but the terrible thing was that he staggered and almost fell into the bathtub.

Fortunately, he supported himself with one hand and held her with the other, and he stabilized her immediately.

But...his lips gently pressed against the side of her face.

The sounds of each other's heartbeats almost burst out of their bodies by the bathtub.

Li Xixiao's eyes widened slightly, her face soft and tender, her gaze unconsciously fixed on him, so she turned her head away, and she also realized that her heart was beating wildly.

If I think about it carefully, it must be because of the illness that I am prone to palpitations.

Long Qi picked her up and put her on the chair, looking down at her, "I'm just helping you save some energy, do you think I want to take a bath with you?"

She relaxed her brows and said without hesitation, "No, you think too much. Please just close the door when you leave."

Long Qi smiled, trying to hide his inner restlessness, and said nothing more, then closed the door and went out.

After a while, someone knocked on the door again. She finally closed the door with great difficulty. Fortunately, she had not taken off all her clothes, otherwise the door would not have been opened even if someone knocked again.

Unexpectedly, when the door opened, two young women appeared with new clothes in their hands.

They said pitifully that it was their husbands who spent the money, and if they were driven away they would lose an income.

They respectfully helped Li Xiying undress and put her into the water, then left, saying that they would come in every quarter of an hour to add hot water and would stand guard at the door waiting for instructions at any time.

The bathtub was filled with the aroma of medicine, and the hot steam felt so comfortable on my face.

I took a medicinal bath yesterday but caught a cold, so it was all in vain. I should make up for it today.

After taking the medicinal bath, it was noon.

She lay in bed without any appetite or desire to sleep.

Long Qi knocked on the door and came in, bringing food.

He opened the lunch box and took out a bowl of porridge. No one knew what was in it. It looked fragrant and sticky, but strangely enough, it didn't arouse her appetite at all.

Long Qi saw that she had a poor appetite, but she had to eat, so he scooped up a spoon and touched it to her lips.

She was depressed and shook her head slightly as she stepped back.

He advised: "If you don't eat, it will definitely affect your recovery, or - do you want me to take good care of you for a few more days?"

His voice was soft, but his words could not be heard carefully.

Li Xiying thought so, and even though he said so, his ears turned red.

She reluctantly reached out to take the bowl of porridge, thinking that if she didn't drink it, she would be labeled as a weak person who wanted to be taken care of.

When passing the bowl, Long Qi's hand was accidentally touched by her cold fingertips. He asked, "Your hands are so cold?"

Then he wanted to put his hand on her forehead, but she dodged it and almost spilled the porridge. She didn't know why she reacted so suddenly, she just looked at his gloomy eyes uncomfortably and smiled, "I'm fine."

Fortunately, he didn't say anything.

She scooped up half a spoonful of porridge and was lost in thought for a moment before she figured out why it felt so awkward.

It would be strange for a single man and a single woman to be at ease in the same room. If his future wife knew that he had taken such good care of a woman, she would be jealous.

When Li Xixiao raised her eyes to look at him, the corners of her lips were slightly raised. She still had the same rosy lips, white teeth and lively look as when they first met. She was still the same person, but her eyes no longer had the aloof look that she had when they first met.

If he wants to get married in the future, the woman will definitely not be bad.

She finally put the spoonful of porridge into her mouth. Her lips moved slightly and she swallowed a few mouthfuls with difficulty before she didn't want to eat anymore.

"I can't eat anymore." Li Xi said embarrassedly. She put the bowl with more than half of the porridge left in his hand, and said he didn't want to eat anything, he had no appetite!

Long Qi lowered his eyes and looked at the porridge in the bowl, which was still steaming. His eyes were gentle and he coaxed, "Have a few more sips?"

She shook her head, and while he was taking the bowl, she quickly wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and lay down to hide under the quilt, muffled and annoyed, "I really can't eat any more."

Long Qi was slightly startled, as if it was the first time he saw her acting like a spoiled child, and then he put the bowl back into the food box, "Forget it, eat more for dinner."

After a while he was kicked out, only for her to claim that she wanted to rest.

……

At this time, the Prince of Liang's mansion was still hung with white cloth, and soul-calling banners could be seen everywhere, but the Prince of Liang sat in the main seat and enjoyed the singing and dancing.

Several adopted sons sat in the guest seats, toasting each other.

After a while, someone came to report, and that person reported carefully and truthfully: "The prime minister said that there is no young lady named Li in his house!"

King Liang smiled while holding the wine cup, and threw the cup on his head, breaking it into two pieces. "It's useless. You can't even do such a trivial thing."

The reporter was trembling with fear, blood was flowing from his forehead, and he dared not say a word.

The adopted son echoed, "It seems that the prime minister is determined to go against my adopted father!"

A few months ago, the commander of their camp's new recruits was invited by the prime minister's new recruits camp to play polo. Unexpectedly, he fell off his horse and died during the game.

They suspected that the prime minister did it on purpose.

"Yeah, I think my foster father doesn't need to worry about anything. He is doing this just to undermine my foster father's power step by step. He doesn't care about my foster father's requests at all!"

"Yes, not only did he fail to help his adoptive father, but he was also obsessed with how to eliminate dissidents!"

King Liang sneered and said lazily, "If he is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. Help me write an impeachment document and summon everyone tonight to think about the crime. I will let the emperor draft an edict tonight."

next day

When Long Qi was buying medicine, he unknowingly came to the Prime Minister's residence. He thought that what he did yesterday was inappropriate. Although he did not regret it, he should apologize to the Prime Minister. After all, he seemed to have said something too harsh yesterday.

Before he arrived, he saw from afar that the main gate and side door of the Prime Minister's Mansion were sealed.

It’s only been a day and a night from yesterday to today, what happened?
