The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Chapter 173 Are You Still Afraid of Me?

Long Qi saw Li Xiying and saw that she also had a smile on her lips. He continued, "I promised to compensate them at that time, but they didn't need the money for the coffin. They just blamed me for disturbing the peace of the deceased and asked me to pay with my life. I took out all the valuables in my body, enough to buy a few high-quality coffins, but the shop owner's wife and children refused to agree and kept pestering me outside..."

Erlang said with emotion, "I have devoted myself to business. Although I am almost 28 years old, I have not married, let alone children. I am sure you don't believe it. Fortunately, the coffin was opened to see, otherwise I would have died without any evidence."

After saying this, everyone burst into laughter.

"What happened next?" Madam Xiang urged him to continue.

Erlang continued, "I happened to be going there to pay my respects to the deceased. I had been friends with the store owner for many years and we had the same name, so I naturally went there when I heard the news of his death. That's why I saw Qilang being held a dagger by the deceased's wife and children and forced to pay for his life. I was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to stop them. After much persuasion, they stopped the farce for my sake."

"I see. We should toast Qilang. If it weren't for his perseverance, we wouldn't have found our second brother so easily!" Erlang and Sanlang raised their glasses and drank in a toast to Long Qi.

Madam Xiang sighed and said to her sons, "Fate is really a trick of us. Now your father has passed away and the family is in decline. Fortunately, Erlang has made a fortune in business. Now you have to find your brother. The burden is heavy and you can't live as usual. You don't have to take care of me in the future. You should reduce the household expenses if necessary."

Erlang said with a smile, "Mother, you are worrying too much. In the past, my father disliked my business and wanted to cut off all ties with me. I was afraid of affecting my father's reputation, so I hid my identity. In fact, the business I have created will not cause mother to cut back on food and clothing. Mother can ask Sanlang, he knows a thing or two!"

After hearing this, Sanlang immediately confirmed for Erlang, "Mother, what Second Brother said is true. Two years ago, I went with him to travel and see the world. That month, I saw how big Second Brother's foundation is. Mother, you can't underestimate it. If we talk about the family business that Brother has created, it's not an exaggeration to say that he is rich enough to rival a country!"

Madam Xiang was half-believing and half-doubting, and asked him to stop talking nonsense. She turned to look at Long Qi, who also said that it was true. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that I am the only mother who doesn't know my son's ability."

As he said this, he started laughing at the table.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Xixuan was the only one who didn't drink. The prime minister's wife was also not good at drinking. Because she was happy today and drank a few more cups, she had to be supported by the maid to go back to her room to rest. Seeing this, Li Xixuan also wanted to go back to her room.

Sanlang was already drunk, but he didn't forget what he wanted to ask her, so he stood up and bowed, "My lady, please go slowly. I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Li Xiying stopped.

Madam Xiang held her head and said slowly as she was about to go back to her room, "You guys talk while I go back to my room to lie down. Xi Chen, the maids and servants here can be ordered around. If you need anything, just tell them."

Li Xi agreed, and his wife was helped away.

Sanlang's alcoholic breath sprayed directly on her face. She felt a little uncomfortable and took a half step back. She frowned and resisted the urge to cover her nose with a handkerchief, so she asked, "What's the matter, Sanlang?"

"I...I..." Sanlang thought for a moment, then suddenly became confused, squinting his eyes and pointing his fingers randomly, "What was I going to say? I said..."

Suddenly, a dim light appeared, and a figure emerged in his mind, crying, laughing, and angry... He also suddenly smiled foolishly, and then became extremely sad, like a lost soul, and was about to fall on her with tears and snot.

Although Sanlang had lost a lot of weight, he was still quite tall, and this move would definitely knock Li Xi down.

Li Xixiao saw that he couldn't speak a complete sentence, so she knew that he was extremely drunk. She was about to leave, but the other party came towards her headfirst.

Suddenly, Long Qi came over and stretched out his arm to block his falling body. With a thud, Sanlang fell on Erlang.

Erlang was just a false alarm, and managed to hold up the drunk Sanlang. He was a little drunk, but it had mostly dissipated. As a businessman for many years, he could drink more than Sanlang. He immediately said to Long Qi, "This guy is drunk. I almost got drunk too. I'll take him back to his room first."

Li Xixiao was still in shock. Looking at their departing backs, she couldn't help but sigh, "You should go with them. I'll sit for a while."

When I got excited just now, the pain and discomfort in my body became worse, and I sat down again, holding my stomach.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable in your stomach?" Long Qi was relieved to see her like this. "Wait a minute, I'll go get a doctor!"

"No need!" The voice was almost squeezed out from between lips and teeth, "I just..."

The old woman who was clearing the dishes on the table could not help but said, "I think she is having her period. Hurry up and help her into the house to lie down. Apply something warm to her lower abdomen and she will feel better."

Long Qi's face flushed. Even though he had never seen it, he had heard of what Guishui was. Seeing her pale face, his heart ached. Seeing that there was only one old woman left, he immediately asked her, "Can you ask a few maids to help her in?"

The old woman looked up at the two of them and laughed, "It's the second watch now, how can there be a maid to order around? I saw everything just now, what's the point of keeping a distance between men and women at this time? If you carry her into the room, isn't it easier than having me, an old woman, do you?"

The maids who had been ordered around just now had already helped the lady back to her room, so there was indeed no one else here.

Long Qi thought it made sense, so he grabbed her by the waist and legs and hugged her according to her posture.

Li Xixiao was suddenly stunned and panicked for a moment, "You actually listened to her? Actually, there is no need to bother, we can leave in a while."

"Are you still afraid of me?"

When he blurted out these words, Li Xiying had already been taken outside. The wind blew on her face, and her hair blew against his chin. His jaw was as if carved by an axe, and his strong breath and the elegant masculine scent on his body made her cheeks suddenly feel hot even though she had not drunk any alcohol.

The moonlight was so bright that even the light falling on my body was clear and transparent.

"I……"

We were silent all the way back to the room.

He lit a lamp for her, and the light of the candle instantly reflected the outline of her face before his eyes, like a glimpse of a beautiful woman.

Lying in the bed, she took a long time to recover. Seeing him leave, she came back with a hot water bottle, and the bed immediately became much warmer. Seeing that he had not left yet, Li Xiying thanked him and said, "Thank you, my dear. I feel much better."

"It seems that it has never broken out before. Could it be that there is still some poison left?" Long Qi asked doubtfully.

She had lived in the Prime Minister's residence for several months before. Although she was not cheerful and lively every day, she had never seen her in such pain and discomfort. One could only guess that these were symptoms caused by the last poisoning.

Li Xi didn't expect that he knew it so clearly, and nodded: "It must be because of the poison. Since then, I have always felt uncomfortable."

But during the two days when she was in pain in the palace, Zhang Zhusi was there. She took leave for her and took care of her when she was free, so it wasn't that hard to bear.

Thinking of Zhang Zhusi, she felt a little guilty. That day, in order to successfully take her brother out of the palace, she gave Zhang Zhusi a sleeping pill... However, she thought they would never meet again in the future.
