The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Chapter 184 There is really no going back

Erlang scratched his head like a child being trained, "Mother is right."

Li Xiyu also stood on tiptoe and plucked a branch, saying, "The maids will pluck a few branches to put in vases to decorate the rooms, and the madam and her husband can pick some to play with if they like. But plum blossoms are not rare. They are common in this season, and most gardens have them planted. Madam, you are flattering me by saying this."

The lady smiled heartily and said, "Because Meihua has been discussing this for a long time, she didn't even notice that Aqi was still freezing. Erlang, go in and get your clothes from your bag."

Li Xichui then remembered and tried to stop him while taking off her cloak, saying, "No need. This cloak originally belonged to my husband. I'll just return it to him. Someone will bring mine over in a minute."

As she was speaking, Daimao came in holding a crimson crane cloak. Seeing that she had taken off her clothes, she trotted forward and spread the cloak over her shoulders.

Seeing this, Long Qi had no choice but to take back his own piece.

The lady was puzzled and asked, "It's been so long, and I don't know where Sanlang has gone?"

Long Qi thought of San Lang who was looking unhappy at the door: "He had just sent someone off and was sitting on the stone steps outside the village."

The lady finally understood. She had just heard about Chu Yiyi's departure. She was afraid that Sanlang was sad because of this. She couldn't help but sigh: "It's just fate."

After admiring the flowers for a while, everyone returned to their rooms. It was already noon.

Li Xizhen and the prime minister's wife were just returning to their room to set up a table to prepare lunch when they saw Cui Sanlang coming back, looking distraught.

There were two long square tables in the room. Li Xiqi and the prime minister's wife sat at one table, and Long Qi, Erlang and Sanlang knelt at the other table.

Then Zhenzhu led the maids in and served the food one by one, with hot wine on the side.

The prime minister's wife reminded him, "I am not good at drinking, so I will not drink today. You men should also drink less."

As he looked at Sanlang's expression, he knew that this reminder was in vain. Yiyi's reaction was a big blow to him.

Li Xiqi didn't take it seriously and said, "My dears, please enjoy yourself. There's no need to be restrained here."

Madam Xiang said, "We have bothered the princess for two days, and she has had a great time. After this meal, we should leave. There are many things waiting for Erlang to deal with over there, and we also need to look for Silang."

After hearing this, Li Xiqi could no longer be polite and just told them to come when they were free.

Sanlang drank cup after cup, feeling lost, and it seemed like he still hadn't had enough even after everyone finished their meal.

The prime minister's wife said to Li Xi, "No matter how long he stays, he won't be able to drink enough. Getting drunk is harmful to the body, and he will definitely feel uncomfortable when he is drunk on the road."

After hearing this, Li Xi asked Zhenzhu to remove the wine jar.

As soon as the wine was removed, Sanlang fell drunkenly on the table with a thud, mumbling: "Mother, I want to go back!"

The prime minister's wife quickly responded, "Okay, let's go now." Then she stood up and said to Erlang beside her, "Help Sanlang to the carriage. We'll arrive soon after a nap."

Erlang stepped forward and was about to support Sanlang's arm, but Sanlang pushed him away and said, "I want to go back! I want to go back!"

As he spoke, he became inexplicably angry, "Why can't you take me back? Is it so difficult for me to go back?"

Long Qi was relatively tall, so he stepped forward and grabbed him, saying, "Let's go back now, you're drunk!"

As Sanlang spoke, he burst into tears, "You all lied to me. There's no way back!"

The prime minister's wife responded in a daze, "Yes, the prime minister's mansion was sealed and confiscated, and the prime minister and Dalang and his wife died in Chang'an. Now they are in Luoyang and can never go back."

Long Qi and Erlang worked together to carry away the bespectacled and nonsense-talking Sanlang, and the prime minister's wife and Li Xilang followed closely behind.

The carriage had already stopped outside the manor, and the prime minister's wife turned around and said to her, "We are separated now and I don't know when we will meet again."

Li Xi said: "Otherwise, if Madam doesn't come, I will definitely visit Madam again when I go to Luoyang."

The lady looked at her bright eyes with tears in her eyes, secretly hoping that Zhi'er would be safe and sound now, then she mounted her horse and left.

There was a rumble of carriages and horses, and the lady could not help but lift the curtain to look behind, and she could not calm down for a long time.

……

After seeing them off, Li Xixuan remembered Shanluo because the lady mentioned her.

Not knowing whether she had returned to Puzhou with Han Qi, he went into the house and asked someone to bring out paper and pen, preparing to write a letter to her, telling her about his recent situation, as well as the news that the prime minister's wife and several Cui Langjun survived the massacre, and then asked her about her recent situation in the letter.

After finishing writing and sealing the letter, he gave it to the servant to send it. The daughter-in-law of Sima Puzhou would receive it personally, so there was no need to worry about any mistakes.

After doing all this, she went straight to Qiao Xian.

Qiao Xian had been suffering from a fever since she came out of the well and had to lie in bed unable to get up. Her maidservant wiped her forehead and palms from time to time to cool her down.

"Have you taken the medicine?" Li Xiying asked her maid.

The maid said, "Someone brought it to me just now. I drank it, but it didn't work!"

Li Xixiao looked at Qiao Xian, who had half-closed eyes and was dazed and didn't say a word. It seemed that she was seriously ill.

After looking for a while, he went out to take a look at Xu Ba.

On the way, Daimao pouted and muttered, "Finally this person has quieted down. The princess is really good-tempered. I should have kicked out such a troublemaker like her a long time ago!"

Li Xixiao said to Daimao, "After you cure her, you want to keep her, but she doesn't want to stay. I promised her, so I should do my best. As for the grudge between her and Xu Ba, it has nothing to do with us. Besides, the one who tied the bell should be the one to untie it. Just do your part and don't worry about anything else."

Daimao nodded repeatedly, naturally obeying the princess.

It was a cold and chilly place outside, with chilly winds blowing from time to time. After walking for a long time, I suddenly felt that even the breeze began to prick my skin and bones.

As he was walking, before reaching Xu Ba, he saw a figure lingering in front of the gate of the courtyard where Qiao Xian was.

Xu Ba was seen standing hesitantly under the stone gate, but his condition was the opposite of Qiao Xian's. He was still light and strong, and his movements were agile, as if nothing had happened to him.

When Xu Ba saw Li Xixiao, he hurriedly lowered his head and bowed.

"What are you doing here?" Li Xiqi saw that he looked hesitant and guessed that he might want to find out about Qiao Xian.

As expected, Xu Ba bowed his hands and lowered his eyebrows. He had no choice but to go along with it and explain his purpose: "I just got here, but I don't know how Madam Qiao is doing?"

Li Xi raised her eyes and saw that the concern between his eyebrows was not fake, so she said truthfully: "She is having a fever now. Although she has taken medicine, the fever has not subsided. Fourth Uncle originally did not ask him to check her pulse, not to mention that his hand bone injury has not healed yet, so I was thinking of asking someone to find a doctor. But fortunately, you don't have a fever, and you are here, so I don't have to ask people to go out to find a doctor. Otherwise... you go and check her pulse?"

Daimao, who was standing by, looked at the princess in surprise, and couldn't understand for a moment. After the two farces in the past, how could the princess still let the two of them stay together?

Xu Ba lowered his head and said hesitantly, "This... She regards me as her enemy. If I go again, I'm afraid I will make her even more unhappy."

He just wanted to know how Qiao Xian was doing, but when he got to the gate, he didn't dare to go in rashly for fear of upsetting her. Otherwise, he would have gone to see her in person.

"In that case, what are you asking for here?" Li Xiying smiled, "So it is because doctors are caring parents, how can they just stand by and watch someone die without helping?"

Daimao was dazed when he heard this. He suddenly remembered Qiao Xian's dying appearance. He immediately agreed with the princess's arrangement and teased her secretly, "Doctor Xu, you can go without worry. She looks unconscious. How can she cause any trouble? At most, you can just cover your face with a cloth. If she wants to hit you again, will you just run away?"

Although Xu Ba found it strange and absurd, he had to realize that it made sense as the princess was around, so he followed her advice.

Daimao covered her lips and laughed. The more reasonable Xu Ba became, the more unreasonable Qiao Xian seemed!

Then, the master and servant personally took him into the courtyard, and soon arrived at Qiao Xian's room.

The room was warm and filled with the aroma of medicine.

Qiao Xian had just taken the medicine, but she still didn't feel better. She felt cold, weak and dazed.
