The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Li Xiying drank the second cup, and when she raised the cup again, her tears became unruly and fell one by one. She was dazed and tried to raise her eyes again. With red eyes, she raised the cup to his nose and said with a squinting look: "The... the third cup! Cheers to you, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, for helping me divert the attention... diverting the attention, you..."

At this point, she was completely confused and had no idea what was going on. She felt dizzy and could not tell east, west, south, or north. The scenery in front of her was strange and ever-changing...

When the maids around saw that the princess' cheeks were flushed and she was hunched over the table without moving, they knew that she was drunk and hurried forward to support her.

Seeing this, Long Qi wanted to help the maids, but when they came forward, he looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late, nodded and said goodbye.

A maid called a servant boy to escort him out of the village, and gradually he disappeared.

Li Xi was carried to a maid's back. Halfway through the journey, she suddenly struggled to get off, calling out, "Grandpa, Mom..."

Several maids were exhausted from the torture, and were also infected by Li Xiwei and thought of their parents, and burst into tears.

"Princess, let's go back to the room. The ground is cold. Don't get frostbitten!"

Jade and Pearl lifted her up and carried her on Coral's back, surrounding her and protecting her.

At this time, someone from Enamel came to report: "Princess! Someone outside said that your uncle is here!"

Grandma was slightly startled when she heard this. Seeing the princess' unconscious appearance, she panicked and said, "Send the princess to her room, and quickly invite the uncle to the hall!"

As soon as the news reached him, Li Zhen had already entered the hall. On the way, he saw Li Xiying being carried by several maids along the corridor, slowly moving away from the place.

Grandma came out to greet him, "I didn't know His Highness was coming today. The princess has already gone to rest."

Li Xuan said, "It's no problem."

Then he took out the medicine bottle from his sleeve and said, "Give it to the princess. It can help sober you up."

When grandma realized that the emperor's uncle had already seen through it, she lowered her back even lower, but still reached out to take it and ordered Daimao to deliver it.

People had already entered the inner hall, and they couldn't stop the emperor's uncle outside. Once they entered the hall, the leftovers on the table had not yet been cleared away. Several little maids saw the signal and hurriedly squatted aside to clear the table.

"Don't be in a hurry, take your time." A gentle female voice sounded beside the emperor's uncle.

When grandma looked over, she saw that beautiful woman looking at her tenderly, and her manners were also very noble.

"A'er returned to the village a few months ago. Why didn't she write to tell me?" Li Qian sat in the hall, his tone unclear.

Grandma was a little flustered, but she calmed down and didn't know what he was trying to test, so she could only answer honestly: "I was confused... I forgot to remind the princess, otherwise the princess would have written a letter to inform Your Highness."

"Grandma, don't hide the secret for the princess. We all know what happened. Just tell me why she made such a decision. I am her close friend, and the man next to me is her uncle. Why can't we discuss it together? Why did she have to take the risk alone? Honestly, if anything happens, what will we do?" As Wei Yu spoke, her eyes turned red and she couldn't hold back her tears.

The day before yesterday, I learned that Li Xiying was rescued by Long Qi and escaped danger. My heart sank, and I waited for her to return to the village and rushed over immediately.

"So, Fourth Uncle, Aunt, you all know about this?"

Li Xiying's voice came from outside the hall, and she walked in slowly, "Fourth Uncle's hangover medicine is really effective, but remember to write down the prescription for Daimao, so that I won't be afraid of getting drunk in the future!"

Wei Yu stepped forward, held her hand, and said with tears in her eyes: "You are still thinking about how to drink? But you are so heartless. We are so worried about your safety, but you don't tell us anything!"

"I'm fine, right?" Li Xiying smiled and thought of something, "But I wonder if my aunt and my fourth uncle's wedding will go on as usual?"

Wei Yu's cheeks flushed instantly, remembering that she had just called herself aunt, and no one corrected her, so she stopped talking and looked at Li Zhen.

Li Zhen said: "The country is in turmoil and in mourning, how can you think about this?"

Li Xi's eyes were dim, and she couldn't control her sadness when she thought of her grandfather.

Wei Yu wanted to comfort her, but didn't know how to start.

"How did you know I went to the palace?" Li Xiying asked.

Wei Yu hurriedly said, "I knew it on the first day! And you still think it's perfect. I'm almost scared sick by you!"

"Tell me!" Li Xiying couldn't help but wonder, her previous appearance, face, and even name and accent were all different, so how come everyone could easily see through her?

"Think about why your fourth uncle would hide such a big thing as the national mourning from you?" Wei Yu said with a serious face, "He originally planted someone among the applicants, fearing that you would go rashly. As a result, he actually saw the fake name 'Li Qing' on the list!"

Li Xi was very surprised. "Is there something wrong with this name?"

Wei Yu said, "The registered places of residence of the applicants are not made up. Only yours is not clearly stated. What Muyan Village? Doesn't it make people suspicious?"

"I see!" Li Xiying suddenly realized, "What if I reported the real place names? Can't I just go and explore them one by one?"

"You've let the first step slip, so the subsequent inspection will be much easier!"

"How do you check it?" Li Xiqi wondered.

"Do you remember the eunuch who took you to play music for His Majesty? He was your fourth uncle's informant. The eunuch transcribed the music you played, so your fourth uncle knew that you were playing the music to celebrate the late emperor's birthday. This further verified your identity!"

“It’s so roundabout, it’s hard for Fourth Uncle to see through everything!” Li Xiying couldn’t help but feel dejected, but the eunuch had already…

"Originally, your fourth uncle wanted to find a way to get you out of the palace, but he knew that you were not willing to give up and would not achieve your goal. Later, when he was at a loss, guess who came to find you?" Wei Yu kept the suspense and smiled.

Without even a second thought, Li Xiqi raised her eyes and replied, "Dragon Contract?"

Li Xuan then sighed, "Long Qi came to me that day and wanted to know how to enter the palace. I mocked him for being difficult to enter and even more difficult to leave. But he said that since you are in the palace, even though he can climb walls and fly over rooftops, it is difficult to avoid the strict patrols of the palace guards. He is afraid of alerting the enemy. With his skills, he can only tie with Zhu Wen. So he is not going to die, but only to keep you safe."

"Then Fourth Uncle helped him enter the palace?" Li Xiqi frowned.

Li Xuan shook his head. "Although I have spies in the palace, I don't have the ability to plant someone in the palace at any time. I just asked him to go to your brothers to seek a solution."

"Brother?"

It turned out that she had an elder brother who gave him court robes and an identity book. Zhu Wen did not have much dealings with the prince, so he had a pretext for entering the palace - to replace her brother.

After entering the palace, he could not enter the harem, but people came up with a plan. He changed into the clothes of a eunuch and came to Li Yu's bedroom, hiding on the rubble, walking between the Music Hall and the Pepper Hall to guard day and night.

At that time, she learned that Li Xiqi was going to leave the palace, and she managed to leave the palace to protect her behind. Until that day Zhu Wen saw through her plan, Long Qi risked his life to save her, and used the sleeping pills given by Li Xun to take her out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After hearing this, Li Xi was silent for a long time.
