The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

The weather these days is just like people’s mood right now, grey and gloomy with occasional rain.

But on this day, when Li Xi was eating porridge, a servant came in a hurry to report that he saw her stumbling while eating and dared not say anything.

She put down the bowl of porridge and motioned for him to speak directly.

The servant's voice trembled, his legs went limp and he sat on the ground, his face as pale as death.

"What's the matter?" Li Xixiao stood up, walked towards the servant, and reached out to help him up.

The young man just managed to calm down and pointed to the west and said, "I saw Coral's body!"

She confirmed the direction the servant pointed to: "Pond?"

The servant was fiddling with the matter frantically.

Li Xiying no longer cared about anything and ran away with her skirt lifted.

Amber and Hawksbill followed closely behind.

It has been drizzling for nearly a week, and it is spring time with sudden changes in temperature. She should have thought that a body would not float up so quickly after sinking into the water due to decay!

Before, she tacitly agreed with her grandma not to send anyone to salvage the fish, always thinking that no news was the best news, which was inevitably deceiving herself.

Shanhu has been fished out of the water. Apart from the clothes on her body that proved to be what she normally wore, her face was completely unrecognizable.

The smell of decay filled the air, and the body had not yet been covered with a white cloth. When she walked forward and saw the first sight, she couldn't help but feel her stomach churning.

Amber and Hawksbill followed beside him and couldn't help but hide aside to retch, and then burst into tears.

Even though grandma had witnessed many scenes like this when she was young, it was still shocking to see this scene unfold many years later in this mountain villa where there was no intrigue at all. After all, having watched her grow up, she couldn't help but tear up.

Seeing the pale face of the princess not far away, she immediately calmed down and had someone cover the body with a white cloth and carry it away. Then she walked to the princess and comforted her, "Princess, you should be at ease. Maybe... the child fell down accidentally. This girl lost her parents when she was young. She has been with the princess for more than ten years. The princess treated her very well. She is usually quiet and hardworking. Now that she has lost the fate of master and servant, she is bound to go to another world and feel grateful..."

Li Xi was absent-minded for a long while and didn't say anything. Then he turned around and said vaguely, "Make sure to bury him in a coral coffin."

"Yes." Grandma replied hesitantly.

Amber and Hawksbill followed behind. They were heartbroken over Coral's death and felt as if it were a nightmare, so they could only remain silent.

Suddenly, they saw the princess stop and look into the distance, her eyes unchanged, without blinking.

After a long while, Li Xiying looked at the mountain in the distance and said, "Do you feel... that someone is watching here?"

The two of them looked in that direction and saw dense and tall forests in the distant mountains. The forests were so lush and dense that even if there were people in the mountains, they would look very small in comparison.

So they all shook their heads in unison.

Even though he didn't notice anything unusual, when he heard the princess say that, he couldn't help but shudder and break out in a cold sweat.

At this time, the breeze came to blow on my face again.

Amber and Hawksbill Turtle approached Li Xiying from the left and right.

Daimao said hesitantly, "Princess, don't say that. We have strong guards in our villa. Who dares to break into the villa? They are courting death!"

Amber responded, "Yeah, yeah."

Li Xiyi immediately came back to his senses, thinking, even if he ordered the guards to patrol more, what would happen? They were just ordinary guards, and their martial arts skills were not very strong.

If you meet a strong opponent, I'm afraid it will be useless.

Then she returned to her bedroom and drafted a letter, addressing it to her fourth uncle.

Because I remember that my fourth uncle had a team of personal guards given by my grandfather, and those soldiers helped when the capital was moved. At least their martial arts were better than those guards in the manor.

After writing the letter and having it mailed, Li Xiqi felt as if all his strength had been drained away.

Shanhu's death was definitely not accidental, and the vague feeling of being watched was definitely not a figment of the imagination. If it was man-made, then that person could only be...

Li Xiying couldn't think about it anymore.

So this village is no longer safe!

……

Before I knew it, it was already past noon and the weather suddenly cleared up.

She stood under the eaves looking at the clear sky, only to see Agate's figure hurriedly appear in front of her. The moment he saw her, his lips trembled, and he closed his eyes and passed out without saying anything.

Amber Hawksbill carried her to a shady place and was about to give her water when Agate woke up.

She said tremblingly: "Liuli, Liuli she..."

Li Xiying squatted down and brought the water to her personally, handed it to her lips, and said gently: "Drink some water first, and then talk slowly."

Agate burst into tears and did not drink a single sip of water, fearing that she would be too late to speak. She sobbed and said, "Liuli fell into the well and drowned."

pat...

The water bowl fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

Her heart was pounding, and she stood up, looking around to feel the vague gazes from afar. The gazes from the opposite side were well hidden, but she could still feel them, as if they were provoking them, silently mocking them, and even more as if they were enjoying their panic.

At this time, grandma came over, hiding her panic, and told her the truth in a trembling voice: "When Liuli fell into the well, no one else around saw her. When she was found, she was already dead... half an hour later."

Li Xixiao felt as if all the strength had been drained from her body. She was exhausted and shouted angrily to the distance: "I know you are coming for me, why do you have to hurt innocent people!"

"Princess……"

Grandma was about to persuade her with tears in her eyes when suddenly a flying knife carrying a piece of paper came through the air, brushed past her face, and hit the door frame with a clang.

Blood immediately flowed from grandma's face. She saw the flying knife on the door and only then did she feel the pain.

"Protect the princess!" She ignored the pain and shouted to the guards outside the yard.

Amber Daimao and others stood in front of Li Xi, but she gently pushed them away and walked to the knife. She saw blood stains on the blade and took down the letter without hesitation - on it was the letter she had just written to her fourth uncle.

Written earlier, the letter should have reached the hands of Fourth Uncle, but the letter was sent back with a bloody knife, with blood stains of unknown origin on the knife.

Li Xi's heart stagnated, and he asked Daimao, "Has the messenger come back yet?"

Hawksbill shook his head, his expression becoming even uglier.

She suddenly realized that the other party did not want to give her the chance to ask for help, and only wanted to use cruel means to kill the people around her step by step in order to break down the defense line in her heart.

The guards held sharp blades in front of them to protect them, but even so, she did not feel safe. If the other party was coming for her life, then she would have been dead, and the guards protecting her at this time were just a few more living targets.

Realizing this, she came to Grandma, wiped the blood off her cheek with her handkerchief, and whispered, "Grandma has been with me for more than ten years. She treats these girls like her own grandchildren and has watched them grow up. You saw what happened today, and you must have guessed who is behind it. Rather than letting you die tragically in front of me, why not... go to the account office today to collect the money and leave together."

"Princess?" Grandma shook her head and burst into tears, "I dare not obey your orders!"

The maids beside him burst into tears after hearing this. Daimao wiped her tears and said in a daze: "The princess is in danger now, how can we just leave like that?"

Li Xiqi pursed her lips and forced a smile, saying, "Now is the time for you to leave. I have no other options. Since the evil thieves want to harm you, it would be a good thing for me to drive you away. At least it is better than staying in the village and waiting to be killed."

Just as grandma was about to say something else, the princess had already entered the bedroom and slowly closed the door.

Grandma took a deep breath, and immediately summoned all the maids and servants, told them the princess's intention, calculated the amount of money each person would need, and told them to take the money and leave to find another way to make a living.
