The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

It's getting dark...

He didn't know how, but he followed Bahar.

Down into the dark and damp cellar.

What I saw next was a skinny woman, locked in a cage-like cell, with unkempt hair and dirty face, and no trace of her original appearance could be seen.

Long Qi had no impression of her at all, but this image was subverted.

He never thought that he would meet his biological mother under such circumstances.

The woman raised her eyes and saw him. They looked at each other and there was a moment of horror in her eyes.

After seeing Bahar, she concealed her look of horror, closed her eyes and lay in the weeds, pretending not to see it.

Bahar had not come down to the cellar to see her for many years, but he understood her indifference, so he said to Long Qi: "She is your biological mother."

Long Qi got closer and closer, and in the dim environment, it was impossible to make out the complicated expression in his eyes.

Bahar said to the woman, "Do you know who he is?"

The woman didn't say anything. Her lips were so dry that her entire face looked like a cracked, waterless ridge in a field.

Seeing this, Bahar immediately frowned and called someone to give her water.

The woman was uncharacteristically quiet and knocked the water bowl away. "Why are you pretending to be so hypocritical? You've been threatening for so many years and still can't get the job done."

Bahar disagreed. He said angrily, "Twenty years ago, you spread poison, causing panic among the people of Yanqi. When the Khagas attacked the Uighurs, the whole country was exhausted. For so many years, you kept silent about the antidote. You made the remaining people unable to live a normal life due to poisoning, and there are only a few descendants. Now the descendants of the former king are standing in front of you in good health. Haven't you ever thought about reforming yourself, leaving here, and starting to live a normal life again for the rest of your life?"

The woman looked up to the sky and laughed. Because she laughed too crazily, she gradually lost her strength and finally swallowed the laughter in her throat.

"What are you laughing at?" Bahar asked.

"You are still stupid," the woman replied, "Do you think I will believe your lies just because you bring a random descendant with you?"

"You don't believe it?" Bahar was anxious. Suddenly, he saw the tears flashing in the corners of her eyes, and he understood, "It's not that you don't believe it, you are afraid that the late king's children will not forgive you."

"It doesn't matter. You can say whatever you want." After saying that, the woman fell into the haystack and fell asleep.

Long Qi frowned. Was this skinny woman in front of him really his mother?

There was bottomless resentment in her eyes.

He had an indescribable feeling of confusion.

"My dear, do you have anything to ask?" Bahar asked when he saw Longqi staring at his biological mother for a long time.

Unexpectedly, Long Qi had nothing to say and turned to leave.

A masked woman appeared in time to block his way, her tone filled with anger, "You're leaving just like that? She's your mother, shouldn't you try to get her to reveal the antidote to save these innocent people? If there's no antidote, you can't leave!"

It was Qiao Xian. Today, she was not wearing fake leather, which was unusual. She was just wearing a layer of black cloth.

She rushed to the woman again and said loudly, "Now that things have come to this, if you tell me the antidote, I will let you go and reunite with your son. Don't you want to enjoy the happiness of family life?"

The woman ignored it.

Qiao Xian stamped her feet and vomited again: "Have you been locked up here and become stupid? Don't you know how good it is outside? We gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. When he leaves, you won't have any chance at all!"

The woman looked at Long Qi, then at Bahar and Qiao Xian, and said in a cold voice, "That day, your late king bet on the welfare of the people and promised to keep his promise in his lifetime. He didn't do it, so you can't blame anyone. I just kept my promise!"

Although she had lost her strength, she was still crazy. "You should be thankful that he didn't gamble with your lives. Of course I must keep my promise to the end. I don't have the antidote. Even if you lock me up until I die, I still don't have it!"

Long Qi remained silent, but before he came out of the cellar, he noticed a group of Yanqi civilians gathered outside.

They took off the rough cloth on their faces, revealing the scars on their faces, and looked at each of them sincerely, "My dear, please save us!"

Qiao Xian chased after him and said with a frown, "Yes, she is your mother after all. If you say a word for us, the antidote will come!"

Bahar stopped Qiao Xian, "Xian, don't say too much."

Qiao Xian sneered unconvincedly: "If it weren't for her, how could we end up in this situation? If you can't get your mother to tell you the antidote, then I will imprison you too. They say that mother and child are connected by heart, but I still don't believe her..."

"Nonsense! Get out!" Bahar was shocked and stopped her from speaking again.

Long Qi said in a deep voice: "You regard her as a spy from the Tang Dynasty. She hasn't mentioned the antidote in twenty years. How can you be sure that she will tell me when I come?"

"You have always known about her problem, but you just avoided talking about it! You don't even understand what she wants to hear, and you still want to force her to tell you the antidote?"

Qiao Xian was stunned, and said nonchalantly: "What do you want to hear most? She just wants to hear that the late king betrayed her, and that it was all his own fault. Haha, I don't know how the late king betrayed her. I only know that she harmed the people of Yanqi, and she is full of evil intentions!"

"In that case, there is no need for me to say another word." Long Qi said.

"In your opinion, my lord, since she has a knot in her heart, she will tell you the antidote once the knot is resolved?" Bahar looked at Long Qi.

"If a person is determined to die, then she would not have lived until now! She has been locked in a cellar without seeing the sun for decades and has not sought death. Could it be that she likes this place?"

"What do you mean, sir?" Bahar thought about it but couldn't quite figure it out.

The woman was slightly surprised in the cage, and just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt a pain in her chest. Apparently the poisonous insect had attacked her, and she rolled over in pain.

Long Qi heard the noise and turned around, then immediately kicked open the prison door and helped the woman up.

She was skinny and leaned against him like a skeleton. "This is how you ask for the antidote!"

Bahar looked troubled. "Someone, come and give her the antidote!"

"We have no choice. Who wants to be the bad guy?"

After that, Bahar immediately shouted again: "Come quickly! Carry her out and prepare a clean room immediately!"

The Yanqi woman immediately did as she was told and called several men to bring a bamboo frame wrapped with a thick mattress. The two old women lifted the woman onto the frame effortlessly.

Long Qi followed with a complicated expression.

After so many years, this was the first time she came out of the cellar. The woman was blinded by the bright sunlight outside, and for a moment she couldn't open her eyes, tears kept flowing from her eyes.

She pursed her dry lips and closed her eyes, but she could vaguely feel a tall figure and a deep face in the sunlight.

Just like going back to 20 years ago, he swore to heaven - he would keep his promise!

The woman had lost consciousness, but all she heard was the weak word "Your Majesty".
