The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Chapter 142 If There Is an Afterlife

Is she going to die?

Bahar was shocked. The sticky black blood with a fishy smell filled his nostrils. He wiped the blood off his face with a cloth in surprise.

He then quickly invited a medical practitioner from the village to look at the cause of her illness.

He was spitting out blood just now, but now it turned into sticky, dark black blood.

If her life is really coming to an end, but she hasn't even told you about the antidote, then everyone in Yanqi Village will have no hope of detoxification.

Long Qi just happened to hold her up while she lay on the table. There were a few traces of blood on the paper, which swung to the corner of the table.

When Li Xiying saw someone coming, she squatted down and picked up the paper to prevent it from being stepped on.

"She is dying. There is nothing I can do!" The doctor shook his head and sighed, "She has been hanging on for so many years. Now that she has taken her last breath, she won't have much time left."

"That black blood is the cause of organ failure. There is no cure."

Bahar thought of something and took out a bottle of medicine from his sleeve.

This was a pill given to him by the late king decades ago. It was a secret pill made by the royal family of Yanqi. It could prolong the time of a dying person's last breath and alleviate the pain brought by death.

He had originally intended to keep it for himself so that he could make arrangements for Qiao Xian's final arrangements when he was dying, but now he thought he should put it to the greatest use.

Long Qi watched Bahar pour the pills out of his palm, not understanding what they were.

Bahar explained as he poured the pill, "This is a gift from the late king. There is only one pill left. It can relieve her pain. Let her eat it."

Li Xiying took it from Bahar. The pill was purple-black in color and gave off a strong bitter smell. Compared with the poisonous insect, the bitterness of this pill was not worth mentioning at all.

It is better to eat it than not to eat it. Afraid that he would regret it, he immediately fed the pill into Concubine Yanqi's mouth and asked Long Qi to pour water for her to swallow.

Things have come to this, if I can't save her life, it would be good to relieve her pain.

But in an instant, her frown relaxed, and after waking up, her eyes gradually became clear.

She raised her eyelids and looked at Long Qi. Although her heart was already in turmoil, she appeared calm on the surface, probably due to the effect of the drug.

Upon closer inspection, Long Qi had deep eyebrows, a high nose, deep eyes and dark pupils, and looked very much like the late king.

In a trance, decades passed by like yesterday, as if all she had been filled with was hatred. Because of hatred and unwillingness, she had given up a lot and almost lost everything...

In the end, it was her fault!

She had never participated in the child's growth and had no right for him to call her mother. She had no right.

Seeing them in a state of confusion, she laughed at herself and said, "I was quite stupid. I didn't expect that he would lie to me just to achieve another goal."

Although they had no idea what the 'another purpose' she was talking about was, when they heard the word "actually", Long Qi and Li Xiying seemed to vaguely feel that things must have taken a big turn.

Concubine Yanqi said slowly, "Back then, when he was surrounded by new women and his temperament changed drastically, forcing me to return to Tang, I was pregnant. He... swore to heaven and earth with disgust on his face that he despised old people like me and even hated having offspring with me. He would not hand over the future royal family to the offspring I gave birth to... He said all kinds of unpleasant things..."

"So, I did my best to 'keep' our vows and not let it go to waste!"

That day, the late king sat with her on the meadow, watching the people coming and going. She leaned on his shoulder and listened to the late king's oath: I will never let you down in this life, and if I have any second thoughts, heaven and earth will punish you.

Everything seemed like yesterday. She still remembered what she had said to the late king: "I have come a long way, even at the cost of breaking up with my grandfather, and am here to marry you as a princess. If you deceive me and fail to fulfill your vows, I will... I will make you and your people break out in sores!"

The former king smiled and agreed.

Thinking back, she sneered, "Looking back now, he didn't even dare to look me in the eye that day when he said those words that violated his oath. There were obvious signs, but I believed them."

So what she thought was the truth was all false!

Everyone was surprised, except Bahar: "The late king has always been a trustworthy person. I saw you slandering the late king, and I explained it to you again and again, but you didn't believe it. What's the point of regretting it now?"

In fact, Bahar was also hiding his inner panic.

For decades, he had always believed that she was a spy of the Tang Dynasty, but he never expected that it was really caused by her grudges with the previous king.

But that's all, but she put so many Yanqi people in such a situation, and put herself in such a situation, which shows how persistent she is in keeping the oath with the previous king.

Concubine Yanqi finally showed some emotion. "Why are they all expedient measures? Why did he let me leave Yanqi early so that I would not become a victim in the royal family dispute? Why did he lie to me?"

"In order to protect me and my child, he broke his oath and drove me away from Yanqi... In fact, he wanted to save my life and our child, so it was a helpless move. I was deceived by him. Why did he lie to me like this!"

Li Xiqi couldn't help but feel sympathetic. How could such emotions exist in the world... She couldn't help but take a look at the letter. The words on it were crooked and looked like the Central Plains characters that King Yanqi had specially learned. Although they were ugly, she could still understand the general idea.

The letter said that Yanqi was about to fall, and the royal family was in turmoil and could not protect themselves. She was a Tang princess, so returning to Tang was the best option. But he was afraid that she would not want to leave, so he came up with this idea. If he drove her away, he could at least save her life and the child's life.

He would rather bear the blame for being unfaithful than let her get hurt.

There was also a portrait of a woman copied on the paper. It was a noble girl with a broad forehead and a full chin. If it was her, she would be completely different from her current self...

After reading it, Bahar's mouth trembled and he said something in Yanqi dialect, but it was probably words praising the former king.

The letter said that by the time she saw these words, the facts had already happened. He was afraid that she would always live in resentment, so he chose to carve the whole cause and effect in the box himself, hoping that one day she would feel relieved after reading it.

Li Xiqi was also deeply shocked. It turned out that King Yanqi's love had not changed and it had always been a misunderstanding.

Suddenly, Concubine Yanqi calmed down, "It turns out that this is all my fault. I shouldn't have poisoned the innocent people of Yanqi to fulfill our oath out of spite... I wrote down the antidote for the poison, you go find it."

Bahar cried and laughed, and nodded to write down everything.

It turns out that it’s all due to obsession.

"I only have one wish..." she said weakly with her eyes half closed.

"What's your wish?" Long Qi asked, holding her skinny hand.

"Bury me with him..." She fell silent after saying this, with a relieved smile on her lips.

Bahar was silent for a long time.

Bahar wiped his tears and said, "I promise you, it was all a misunderstanding. You are the late king's favorite woman, so I will naturally bury you together."

Watching Concubine Yanqi's life disappear bit by bit, Li Xiying looked at the box with a complicated expression.

But she seemed to have missed a small print...

King Yanqi said: I was afraid that the box was too small to hold the memories of this life, so I planned to carve the inner wall of the box with the words I wanted to say, but unfortunately I didn’t have time...

"If there is an afterlife, I will still only marry Azhi."
