The Princess's Deadly Daily Life
Chapter 135: Cicada
King Liang called the guards and thought of asking the maid who was at the door to come in and serve him.
That's why Amber was brought in. She held Li Xi's cold hand, tears streaming down her face, and knelt beside King Liang, "Please, King Liang, let our princess go. She is weak and can't stand the torture!"
He turned a blind eye and asked her with lowered eyes: "What kind of poison did she get? How do you cure the poison normally? Go and find a way to cure it for your master. If you play tricks on me, I will make sure you die first!"
Amber was frightened by his cruel words. She didn't dare to move until he left the room and the door was closed heavily.
She turned to Li Ximing's bed, looked at her with tearful eyes, and wiped the blood from her lips.
Li Xiwei raised her eyelashes and realized that Amber was crying more and more. She had probably shed more tears in the past few months than in the previous ten years.
Suddenly Amber felt a faint curve on the princess' lips. Just as she was wondering, she saw her hand being held by the princess, and a pair of eyes as bright as lacquer looked at her.
"Princess...Princess?" Amber stared at the faint curve on Li Xiying's lips in a daze, feeling a little at a loss.
"Hush..." She suddenly became serious, put her slender index finger to her lips, smiled to reassure her, and then whispered: "Just now I played a trick and deceived him. Fortunately, I was seriously ill and it was easy to fool him. Only if I was in poor health or even in danger of my life, he couldn't force me to do anything. I bet he didn't want my life, so he obviously did what I thought just now. Isn't it worth celebrating? Why are you crying?"
After Amber was surprised, her eyes lit up. She knew that the princess would be able to protect herself! She wiped away her tears and smiled.
However, she looked down at the blood on the handkerchief and couldn't help but worry about who the princess was fooling, so she asked: "But... the princess clearly vomited blood!"
Li Xi's eyes were full of mockery, and she slightly opened her lips and whispered, "If I hadn't bitten the flesh in my mouth, how could there be blood?..."
Amber looked at the wound on her lip, covered her mouth, and burst into tears again, "Princess..."
Li Xixiao said calmly, "Now even my grandfather is being held hostage by him. The only thing I can do is to find a way to protect myself."
I can't even protect myself, so I can only become a burden to Grandpa.
She calmed down and said seriously, "So from now on, you just need to take care of my medicine every day, and find a chance to go out and talk to Fourth Uncle about this, and ask him to find a way to save me."
Amber nodded solemnly, "Princess, I will listen to you!"
She spent the rest of the days in bed. The Prince Liang's Mansion was heavily guarded and she had no way to escape. Amber had no way or opportunity to leave the mansion to inform Li Chen.
Every time King Liang went to see Li Xiying, she looked sickly, which made him lose interest in visiting her, but he was unwilling to let her go.
One day, a servant came to tell Amber about the preparations for moving the capital, and Amber then told Li Xiqie about it with great concern.
There were noises of people and horses outside. It seemed that the luggage and carriages were all ready.
It is said that there was one specially designed for the princess, but the funny thing is that King Liang put a bed in the carriage for her to lie on when going to Luoyang.
Soon, they carried Li Xiying into the car, and Amber followed closely to serve her.
The people of Chang'an were forced to tear down their doors and destroy their houses, drag cartloads of wood for houses and buildings, and harvest all the grain from the fields to move the capital. If they refused to do it, the soldiers would do it for them. As a result, the whole of Chang'an was in a state of panic and public resentment was boiling.
When they left, Amber heard people say that a huge fire had broken out in the Daming Palace. Especially after they left, the flames spread across the palace and even the houses of the common people were filled with smoke and fire, and the burning became more and more rampant.
The purpose is to prevent people from going back easily.
Li Xixiao lay in the carriage and lifted a corner of the curtain to look out. The common people along the way, carrying their old and young, all had unspeakable sorrow and grievances filling the surroundings.
Feeling the bumpy ride, her thoughts were in a mess. Unexpectedly, it was just as King Liang said. His wish started from cruelty to the people and was being realized step by step.
Now that things have come to this, there is no point in lamenting.
I just don’t know if Fourth Uncle is also on his way to Luoyang?
And how is Long Qi now? Has he found the remains of the prime minister's family?
The sun was about to rise, but before it reached Luoyang, there was a huge commotion outside.
She vaguely heard her grandfather's voice, but it was soon drowned out by the chaotic noise.
There was another strange noise on the roof, and Amber panicked and said she saw someone on the roof!
The next moment, the curtain was lifted and someone picked her up from the carriage. As the carriage was speeding, she was blinded by the wind and sand.
When she opened her eyes again, she looked up and saw Long Qi's sharp jaw and his resolute eyes.
This time it's not a dream.
She smelled a familiar scent on him, and somehow, even though the scene was chaotic, her heart inexplicably paused for a few breaths.
It suddenly occurred to me how strange it feels when you are trying to save yourself while someone else is trying their best to save you.
Only then did she see the situation outside clearly.
It seemed that a group of people came from the opposite side and hijacked the team where King Liang was with great force. In this team was Grandpa's carriage, so the voice of Grandpa that she just heard was real!
She turned to look at Long Qi, overjoyed.
She saw Amber also being rescued from the carriage.
King Liang was furious and the scene was chaotic, so he had to engage in a fight. He used his powerful skills to quickly reach Long Qi and shot a gun straight into Long Qi's face!
In a flash, Long Qi flashed by holding Li Xi's gaunt figure and placed her next to their team. With someone to protect her, he could fight with King Liang with peace of mind.
Only then did she realize that this small team was made up of soldiers from her fourth uncle's mansion, and that they were not under the central government's jurisdiction, so they could come to rescue people.
She also saw Fourth Uncle's secret guards, fighting side by side with Long Qi at the same time.
Who would have thought that there were also Yanqi people among them, including Shi Yu? Although they were firmly behind, they had more people and were more confident. This location and route was obviously not suitable for King Liang to defend in the valley, so there was an opportunity to take advantage of it.
But she couldn't figure out no matter how hard she tried, why the Yanqi people were involved in this operation.
She sat in the carriage and was speechless for a moment when she looked at her grandfather. Her grandfather's hair had turned gray. Tears were welling up in her eyes at first, but when she saw her grandfather smile, she couldn't help but shed tears.
The carriage sped away. Li Xiying was also sitting inside, looking at Grandpa. Her nose felt sore but she still endured and wiped away all the tears. Finally, she smiled at Grandpa.
If her grandfather could leave with her, she would give up the throne. As long as he was safe and healthy, she would be content.
"Qiang'er, are you okay?" the emperor asked softly. In a trance, the years were peaceful. If it weren't for the constant unrest outside, it would seem as if no unrest had ever happened.
Li Xiying shook her head dazedly, "I'm fine, Grandpa."
"You are the child who has always been the least worrying thing for me." The emperor smiled.
She knew that what her grandfather said about "relieving worry" always had a follow-up, but her grandfather did not say the word "but". She had clearly escaped from the Daming Palace to avoid getting married, but her grandfather still only said that she relieved him. She didn't quite understand.
"I know you are the most similar to me. Once you make a decision, even a hundred stubborn bulls can't pull you back. You are smart and don't suffer losses easily, so I trust your decision."
The emperor laughed happily after saying this.
His smile was full of ravines, which shocked her.
"Grandpa, why didn't you tell me earlier? You even asked the Queen to find me a son of the governor of a higher state." Li Xi wiped away her tears and grumbled. She couldn't stop the new tears from falling, so she just let them slide. "My daughter is very dissatisfied!"
"I know, Grandpa was wrong!"...
Li Xiying was shocked. How could her grandfather, who was always decisive and quick-witted, become like this?
"Do you know why Grandpa named you Xi Xi?"
"I don't know." She shook her head in surprise, not knowing why grandpa suddenly said this.
Fortunately, the carriage sped away, getting farther and farther away, and she gradually felt relieved.
The emperor's eyes flickered with light. "The cicada hides in the ground for a long time and chooses to break out of the ground in the summer of a certain year. This represents revival. It is as important as the hope placed on your title."
Li Xi's heart skipped a beat, unexpectedly. She had always thought it was just a casual acquisition, but she didn't expect it to have such a deep meaning.
Unexpectedly, just after he finished speaking, the emperor hurriedly opened the curtain and said to the Li Xian who were guarding one side of the carriage, "You take Meng'er away, I still have to go back. Things have come to this point. If I just leave like this, the situation will be out of control. Don't worry, I will handle it well!"
After hearing this, Li Xiying threw herself into the emperor's arms, just like when she was a child, pulling his sleeves, "Grandpa, can you please not leave..."
