The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Li Xiying concealed the pain in her eyes and calmed down. "Of course I will go back to the manor first. Grandma and the others are waiting for me to go back. The sooner I go, the sooner I can see them."

"I'll pack up and go with you." Long Qi said. He was worried about her going alone.

"No need. You need to stay and take care of your aunt. Besides, your biological mother just passed away. You have a lot of things to do. I don't need to trouble you with my affairs." Li Xiying said and was about to turn around and leave.

Suddenly she thought of something, stopped, turned back and looked at him, "But I still need to trouble you to tell me what happened to my grandfather after he arrived in Luoyang."

After asking him to tell me, I will naturally ask fewer questions after returning to Luoyang, and at least I will have a better idea of ​​the situation.

"Okay." Long Qi told her everything he knew without reservation in a clear and gentle tone.

After the emperor arrived at the Luoyang Palace in the Eastern Capital, he lived in the Jiao Palace. Zhu Wen's adopted son monitored the emperor day and night, and killed and replaced all the eunuchs around him. When the emperor learned about it, he was furious and threatened to meet Zhu Wen, but one night - he was killed by Zhu Wen's adopted son.

Li Xi was stunned to hear all this, secretly digging her nails into her palms, her eyes dim, and she tried to be calm: "I know."

"I'll leave tomorrow. Thank you for your care all the time." She looked at the gloomy sky. "I won't need you to see me off to Luoyang tomorrow. I'm well now. Chu Yiyi has been waiting for me as a guest in Luoyang for a long time. I have no reason to stay any longer."

After feeling the stinging pain of her palm, she felt calmer than ever before. That night she would carefully plan what to do after going to Luoyang.

"Are you really okay?" Long Qi felt that she was so calm as if nothing had happened. He couldn't help but worry that she was holding everything in her heart and was unable to let it go.

"Princess, I have packed my luggage. Are we really leaving tomorrow?" Amber asked with a heavy heart.

After Long Qi left, Amber had already packed her luggage into a small bag as instructed. She had been looking forward to it for a long time and was eager to return to the farm immediately.

Li Xiwei nodded, and suddenly she thought of something. She also happened to see Bahar in the distance. He was collecting medicinal herbs with the women and children.

There is heavy dew at night, and they only need to eat it for a few more days to completely clear the toxins from their bodies, so the efficacy of the herbs is very important and there cannot be any mistakes, so they pay great attention to the storage of the herbs.

Seeing that the herbs were almost collected, she walked over and said to Bahar, "Thank you for taking care of me for so long and providing me with a place to stay. I will be back tomorrow. But can I trouble you with one more thing?"

Bahar turned around blankly and said with a hearty smile: "You are my husband's friend, so you are naturally my friend, so don't be polite. Besides, if it weren't for you to enlighten Concubine Yanqi, she wouldn't easily tell you the antidote. If you need any help, just tell me, Bahar, and I will do my best to help!"

She nodded: "Could you please tell me the route to Luoyang, or give me a map? I will set off tomorrow, and I am afraid I will take the wrong road."

"Of course!" He readily agreed, but suddenly had some doubts, "It's just that it's not safe for a young lady like you to go on the road, so you need Mr. Long to give you a ride."

"My husband needs to bury his mother, take care of the prime minister's wife, and find time to visit his cousin in the prime minister's mansion, so naturally I won't bother him." As for Bahar's concern, she only felt that the world had changed. In just a few months, they went from enemies to friends. It was so much like acting out a script.

Then she changed the subject and said, "Now I see that no one is using human skin masks anymore, so it should be almost healed, right?"

Bahar looked forward to a better life. "Yes, everyone will gradually restore their appearance and no longer need disguises. Everything will be back to normal. They and their children will be no different from normal people."

Suddenly he realized that the person in front of him was the princess. If she was willing to talk to him about this, it must be more than just one thing. "Young lady, do you have anything else I can help you with?"

She smiled and said, "That's right, could you teach me how to disguise myself?"

Bahar was quite puzzled. He stared at her face and was very confused. "Young lady, you have a beautiful face, why do you want to learn this?" Then he explained, "This art of disguise is to cover up ugliness. If you want to cover up beauty, it will be easier to wear a veil. In fact, this art of disguise is not as easy as it seems on the surface. It takes time to learn it."

"The veil can be removed, but the disguise technique is not easy to detect." Li Xiying thought for a moment, and it seemed that he was thinking of an excuse because he didn't want to help her. "If you don't want to, then forget it. Sorry for bothering me."

"Wait." He thought for a while and then said, "But I have a way."

She looked back, her eyes as bright as stars.

"In fact, there are not many people in Yanqi Village who know how to disguise themselves. Usually, they make custom-made masks based on the person's appearance, and one person only needs to make two masks." He stroked his beard and looked at her. "Forget about learning. It's hard to learn without three to five years. But I can make two masks for you and give you a few bottles of aged fish maw."

Li Xi's eyes were bright and clear. He bowed and said, "Thank you very much."

Bahar did not ask her any more questions about her purpose. After all, she must have a great need in Luoyang and that's why she asked him for help. For the sake of her husband, he should not be stingy. He immediately asked someone to call his daughter Qiao Xian.

Qiao Xian heard his father calling him from a distance, but he came immediately since there was nothing wrong.

Their business in Chang'an suffered devastating damage, so she had nothing to do recently and wanted to see if her grandfather wanted to talk to her about anything.

Unexpectedly, when he walked over slowly, he saw Li Xiying was there too.

Qiao Xian couldn't help but narrow her eyes and looked at her, "Grandpa, what do you want to see your daughter for?"

"You come and draw a portrait of her and make two masks for her." Bahar then turned to introduce Li Xiying, "She is my daughter. Although she is not talented, she is good at the art of disguise."

"So, your name is Qiao Xian? Now we officially know each other." Li Xi smiled wryly, without any other intention.

The atmosphere was a little tense, and Qiao Xian stared at her, not knowing what she was thinking.

Bahar broke the silence with a word, "Ahem..."

"Why are you changing your appearance?" Qiao Xian came back to her senses and sneered, "Maybe you think changing your appearance is interesting and you want to try it out?"

"That fish glue is not comfortable to put on your face. I wonder what kind of makeup you can change with your face?"

Qiao Xian thought about it for a moment and realized something was wrong. Maybe she wanted to use it for something. If a person wants to change her appearance, it shows what purpose she wants to achieve.

She seemed to have figured something out, and suddenly she laughed innocently. The other party saved her life today, so this was his purpose. "What do you want to change?"

"The less like me, the better." Li Xiying didn't understand why she was smirking, so she just spoke softly.

"Oh?"

Qiao Xian suddenly became very willing and, contrary to her usual enthusiasm, she took out paper and ink and began to paint seriously.

Seeing that his daughter was eager to help and not cause any trouble, Bahar felt relieved to leave Li Xiying to her and left.

"Tell me, do you want to avenge the emperor after you changed your appearance?" Qiao Xian was drawing on the paper. Unable to suppress his curiosity, he turned and stared into her eyes that were as clear as water and asked, "Are you afraid that your original appearance will not be conducive to your actions?"
