The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

He shook his head and looked at her, "Don't go, just do it directly, I can bear it."

Li Xi was a little confused, but then she realized, "Although it will hurt to wet the wound with salt water, it can at least clean the wound. If I just peel it off, it will probably be no less painful than using salt water."

"Just do it, just don't leave here." His lips opened and closed, his eyes became more and more hazy, which made Li Xiying confused.

She couldn't help but put her hand on his forehead and was shocked: "You're so hot!"

"Help me apply the medicine first." He seemed not to have heard her, grabbed a corner of her sleeve and silently pulled it together.

He repeatedly asked her not to leave his sight, could she disobey him? She could only nod, thinking of waiting until the medicine was applied before seeing how he was doing.

As the cloth was peeled off the wound little by little, it pulled the wound, and blood suddenly gushed out. She had no choice but to pour medicine powder to stop the bleeding while peeling it off.

Miraculously, the wound stopped bleeding.

After everything was in place, she helped cover him with coats and blankets. She was touched and asked in confusion, "How did you find out that I was in danger?"

He was silent for a while, then told her the whole story.

It happened that at noon today, his aunt asked him to go to Muyan Villa to deliver Dragon Boat Festival rice dumplings to Li Xiying on her behalf. He knew that sending food was just an excuse, and his aunt's real intention was to let him take a few more glances at his beloved.

On the way, they met villagers near Muyan Villa. They heard from them that Li Xiying had dismissed most of the maids and guards, but those maids and guards all died miserably not far from the villa.

He knew something was wrong, she must be in danger!

Just as he arrived, he discovered that there was a fire in the village and the fire was getting bigger and bigger. The village was empty except for a masked man who was sneaking around in the courtyards, as if searching for something.

He concluded that the masked man was an evil villain with bad intentions, and that he might have killed the dismissed maid guards. But then he saw the masked man sending people to put out the fire.

Obviously he guessed that the fire was set by Li Xiying, and the reason why the masked man couldn't find her was because of the fire, which allowed her to escape.

So he started a fight with the masked man.

At this time, Li Xi couldn't help but ask him: "What if you lose your life by doing this?"

His voice was hoarse. "Who let him find you fleeing with your maids and servants by the south wall? How could I watch you fall into danger?"

Li Xiying finally understood and couldn't help but feel annoyed: "After all this hard work, we were discovered so early?"

She was still secretly relieved because she had escaped control! In fact, she was relieved because Long Qi had covered for her.

She felt more and more guilty, "The wound on the shoulder was a penetrating wound. It was only half an inch away from the heart. You can see how dangerous it is."

Long Qi didn't take it seriously, and then smiled and said, "I fought with the masked man and defeated him without getting hurt, and then I secretly protected you behind you, one to prevent someone from following you, and two to prevent you from alerting the enemy."

"I didn't expect that when you were staying at the inn, another masked man appeared. That man could use hidden weapons, and I was not prepared... Fortunately, after I held him hostage, I found out who was behind this."

In order to help him calm down, Li Xiying poured him a glass of water, gently helped him up, and slowly fed the water into his mouth.

She wiped the water from his lips and breathed a sigh of relief. "Even if you don't tell me, I know who is behind this. It can't be anyone else but Zhu Wen who is so cruel and tyrannical, right?"

Long Qi nodded.

The masked man could easily expose Zhu Wen, which meant that he wanted her to know that he was the one who did all this, and that he treated human life as worthless, playing with people and killing many lives in front of her. Maybe he thought it was fun to do this, and he enjoyed watching her being pushed into a corner step by step?

"Are you planning to stay in the inn from now on?" Long Qi asked.

She shook her head and thought for a while, "I can't go back to the villa. I have to find a house."

It was early summer. In a remote house in Luoyang, Li Xi was in his bedroom looking at the land deeds on the table with a worried look on his face.

Ever since she moved out of the village and bought a house in Luoyang, she found that money was becoming increasingly insufficient. She carried almost all the land deeds with her. Last year, the harvest from the fields was poor, so she did not ask anyone to collect rent. Now she feels very tight.

In the past, because the farm was large, there were a lot of fruit trees and bamboos. Under the care of grandma, even the dead branches and leaves could be exchanged for money.

Now that I have left the village, I have discovered that many things not only require money to buy, but also have to be of good quality and expensive. In addition, the world is in chaos, even food and drink have become scarce, and merchants raise prices arbitrarily, so money is not enough.

Let alone a few land deeds, even if there were more, they would not be enough to support the family!

As she was leaning on the table, lost in thought, grandma had already brought her a small bowl of candied cherries as she had requested.

Seeing the princess's sad face, grandma didn't want to spoil her mood, but she had to say, "I was afraid that the princess would eat too much, so I only gave her this small cup. The weather has only just warmed up, so she should eat less of this cold food."

"Okay." Li Xixiao was distracted and only heard the last few words. She then responded to her grandma and took the silver spoon.

Looking at the bright red cherries in the cup, the cream poured on top is slowly melting.

She scooped a spoonful into her mouth, and the sweet taste after biting the cherry, along with the melt-in-the-mouth sugar yogurt, gradually blended in her mouth. This slight sweetness had an immediate effect of relieving fatigue.

While eating, she was thinking about how to survive in the future. She relied on her grandfather's protection for the past ten years. Now the times have changed and there are still several decades to come. If it is difficult to live a good life, how can she think about the future?

Grandma saw her difficulty and comforted her, "Princess, there is no need to worry too much. I have served you for more than ten years. To be honest, I have long treated you as my own child." After that, she took out a stack of wrinkled silver bills from her sleeve pocket and placed them carefully on the table with a loving look in her eyes.

"In the past ten years, the princess has not owed me a penny, and I don't need money at my age. Now that the princess is short of money, I believe these can come in handy."

Li Xiying was moved to tears when she saw what her grandma did. She was only worried about the future, not the present. It was just that her grandma knew her too well and could tell from her expression that she was in trouble. She also wanted to share her worries and difficulties.

Just when I was about to persuade grandma to put the money away, Amber, Daimao and others who were outside the bedroom came in, pushing and shoving each other, and took out all their belongings. Even Wu took out a few coins.

Amber smiled and said, "We have agreed that in the future, the princess will not have to pay us a monthly salary. We will be satisfied if she gives us a bite of meat and a bite of soup!"

Li Xiying was both amused and confused. Why did she feel so moved and amused at the same time?

She looked at their sincere faces and couldn't help but hold back her smile. She said helplessly, "No matter how poor you are, I can't use the hard-earned money you earned. It would be like you supporting me. If someone saw me eating Sushan and you guys who saved money and paid for it, wouldn't they laugh so hard that they fainted?"

Pearl said seriously: "Whoever wants to laugh can laugh!"

Agate responded, "Yes, yes, how we live is none of other people's business."

Li Xi looked at the money on the table and couldn't help asking, "Your money will run out someday, what will you do if it runs out?"

"Before it runs out, we can go out and find work, we can always earn some money." Amber answered quickly.

Li Xiyi stood up and solemnly handed their money back to them. Suddenly, a plan came to her mind. She said to them, "I suddenly have a solution in mind. You don't have to worry about me. Just act as usual and don't be too frugal with yourself in secret!"

Grandma obviously didn't believe it, thinking that the princess was comforting them, so she asked in confusion: "Princess, what solution do you have?"
