The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Although Long Qi was wrapped in gauze, he looked clean and elegant, and it did not affect his walking pace at all.

Then he pursed his lips and smiled, "I was only slightly injured, and my legs were not broken. What's more, I saw my wife by the window, looking up at the stars in a comfortable manner. I came here to join in the fun since I was bored in the house."

Li Xiying turned to look at the vast sky full of stars, his face as calm as water.

"Look at the sky. There is always one star that is particularly bright. With it, the other stars are dim in contrast..."

"Because it is the brightest, we can see it at a glance. It is also a guide to the direction. Even if they follow closely and want to be it, they are not it." Long Qi lowered his eyes and looked at her upturned profile, and suddenly he was lost in thought.

"Will it always be this bright?" Li Xi murmured with twinkling eyes, looking at the boundless sky. It seemed that there would be too many variables between the passing of time and the movement of stars.

Suddenly, Amber rushed to answer beside Li Xiying, "Although it will be covered by dark clouds when it is windy and rainy, it cannot be denied that it is the brightest one and can never be replaced, Princess!"

Li Xiying turned her head and smiled at Amber's starry eyes, as if she was anxious to imply something, and suddenly she was amused.

Amber looked at the princess and smiled, and she smiled too, but this smile was uglier than crying.

Long Qi looked at Li Xiying smiling as brightly as a child, and he also smiled.

"The people of Yanqi also helped in the carjacking to save me and my grandfather today. Is it because of you?" Li Xiqi looked up at him and said.

He came to his senses after being flustered, and replied: "I heard that King Liang wanted to move the capital, so I asked Bahar to help me. We met with King Xian in advance to discuss and plan today's events. It is easier to achieve twice the result with half the effort if we lie dormant at an important juncture and show up at the right time."

"Thank you, my dear." Li Xiying said with warmth in her heart. If it weren't for him, the people in Yanqi Village would have no reason to help her.

"You seem to have said this word to me many times?" Long Qi's face was warm and moist, as if some strange and luxuriant flowers and plants had grown in the soft place in his heart.

"Really?" She recalled that he had helped her a few times. "If you don't thank me, I will have nothing to give you."

Long Qi smiled, "No need to thank me, and no need for reward..."

Li Xiying was just joking, but he didn't expect him to take it seriously.

Suddenly, as he waved his sleeves, something fell out from his sleeves.

Seeing that one of his hands was wrapped in gauze, Li Xixiao picked it up and handed it to him, and also brushed off the grass stuck on it.

"You dropped a...hairpin?"

The patterns above do not look like those commonly seen in the Central Plains, but rather like those unique to the Western Regions.

The man had a hairpin on him, which would trigger anyone's imagination. Long Qi took the hairpin and touched Li Xi's clear eyes, which were not strange at all, but had a different meaning.

"This hairpin belonged to my biological mother." Even so, Long Qi couldn't help but explain.

"Your mother's?"

Li Xi was slightly surprised, thinking of what the prime minister's wife had said before, who his biological mother was, and how he was staying in the prime minister's residence...

So this hairpin belongs to his mother, why should he tell her?

He frowned slightly, as if he was worried. He said truthfully, "I just learned that my biological mother is still alive. She has lived in the cellar of the village for twenty years without any sunlight. She hides many secrets and is also related to the fate of many Yanqi people. I don't want to clarify who is right and who is wrong."

Hearing him say that, she suddenly remembered someone, so she said: "I have also seen a woman in the cellar. She was emaciated, just like a skeleton, but she looked dignified and self-assured. When she saw me, she was able to guess my identity at a glance, which shows that her identity must be extraordinary. I wonder if she is the one you mentioned..."

If his mother was the woman in the cellar, and the woman in the cellar's real identity was the concubine of Yanqi, then it would be proven that he was undoubtedly a descendant of King Yanqi.

Li Xiqi raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't expect that there was a poor prince next to him.

"You saw her in the cellar?" Long Qi recalled the night he rescued her in the cabin, but he didn't know that she had been to the cellar before that.

Li Xi recalled with a clear mind: "A month ago, I was tied up and put into a cellar by the Yanqi people. Later, they moved me to another place. I didn't stay with her for long, but I still remember it clearly. What happened later is what you saw when you rescued me from Shi Wei."

After he understood the whole story, he asked a question that he would not have asked otherwise: "Do you know why she was locked up in the cellar by the Yanqi people?"

Li Xiwei nodded slightly. She knew but didn't know if it was true. It was said that the Yanqi people had such ugly faces that they couldn't show their faces to others without changing their appearance. This was the masterpiece of this Yanqi concubine.

"She harmed the interests of the people of Yanqi, and that's why she was tortured day after day. Their purpose was to get one thing, which was the antidote to the ugliness on her face. She insisted on not telling them, and ended up like this today."

He had been without parents since he was a child. Although he did not show it on his face, he always felt like something was missing in his heart. Now that he had all the news about his mother, he found it ridiculous.

"Maybe the answer is not as simple as you think?" Li Xiying said lightly.

He laughed and then opened his heart, "When I was young and illiterate, I always thought that '契' meant 'abandoned'. Later, when I learned to read, even though I read a lot of books, I couldn't understand what the name meant. As time went by, I didn't care much about it."

She didn't expect Long Qi to say so much to her without any reservation. It seemed that Long Qi told her the deepest secret in his heart.

Amber, who was standing by, had already known what was going on and quietly moved aside and stopped listening.

She looked up, thought about it and said, "A name doesn't necessarily have to have any meaning. Take my name for example, I have always felt that it has no meaning. 'Xi', isn't it just a chirping insect under the warm light? Later, my grandfather told me that 'Xi' is a tenacious life that repeats itself over and over again. Then I suddenly realized that my previous understanding was wrong. I think since I have this name at the beginning of life, it is the best meaning. Why should I insist on what the meaning was at that time?"

Under the moonlight, Long Qi's silhouette was large and loomed over her. Hearing her words, he couldn't help but lower his eyelashes and silently raised the corners of his lips towards her.

Li Xiying pointed at the hairpin in his hand and said, "But these hairpins are of strange styles. They look like keys."

Long Qi looked at the hairpin in his hand. It was indeed somewhat similar, so he said, "She has come up from the cellar now. When she recovers from her illness... I have a lot to ask her, but now I have forgotten even a single word."

He vaguely felt that this hairpin was the key...

Li Xiying did not say anything, but just listened quietly. A man who is willing to reveal the secrets in his heart to others must trust the person in front of him very much, even if his purpose is to get a little comfort from him.

The prime minister's family was exterminated, and he grew up in the prime minister's mansion since he was a child. What should he do? Even a strong man needs someone to talk to, otherwise it would be so uncomfortable to be depressed in his heart, so he suddenly revealed so much. She just listened to him quietly, without saying much.

But he suddenly looked at her clearly and calmly, and she stared blankly at the sky, and then she realized that he was silent.

Suddenly, I realized that there was an inexplicable feeling between the two of us. It seemed that apart from the noisy chirping of insects, the only sound was the breathing of the two of us.

No wonder Amber wanted to avoid it, this scene was so frightening.

She grunted softly, breaking the silence, "My dear, last time you said you were going to the deserted mountains to look for the remains of the prime minister and his wife. Did you find them?"

She thought that after this matter was over, she should go to the Prime Minister's wife's grave and burn some incense, after all, she had been well taken care of by her in the past.

"My aunt is not dead." Long Qi said softly, "Except Dalang, all the other brothers are still alive."

Li Xixiao's eyes widened slightly, and she was speechless for a moment.

Even if a few fewer people died tragically, that would be good news. "So where did Madam Xiang go when the capital was moved this time?"

Long Qi said: "It's in the village."

She nodded, "Then I should go see her too."

The two talked for a long time, and Li Xixiao was already a little sleepy. Suddenly, she felt a warm feeling. Li Xixiao looked up and realized that it was Long Qi who came closer and put his outer robe on her.

She regained some clarity of mind and quickly took off her outer robe and returned it to him. "It's getting late. I should go to bed. You should also go to bed early."

After saying that, Li Xiying reminded Amber who was dozing off by the door, and immediately went into the house.

Long Qi watched the door of her room close and the lights go out. He lowered his head and glanced at the hairpin in his hand. Doubts grew in his heart, and he left the place soon.
