The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

She glanced at Long Qi and curled her lips. "My statement is just a guess and cannot be a conclusion. Since the doctors in Chang'an City cannot identify this poison, why don't you post a notice to offer a reward? Or those who are capable can come from outside Chang'an City. First, Madam, there is an antidote for this poison. Second, it can also broaden the horizons of the doctors in Chang'an. Such a rare poison can also be thoroughly investigated."

"You are indeed thoughtful, but the world has just regained some peace. Mobilizing the army will only arouse disgust among the people. However, an anonymous reward is also feasible." The prime minister narrowed his eyes and looked at her. "You look familiar... Oh, I remember that the horse suddenly went crazy and died suddenly the other day. You were there at that time."

The prime minister looked her up and down. Then the servant brought her some tea. He took a sip and moistened his throat. "You don't need to worry about that. The person has been found out."

The prime minister looked at his confidant beside him, and saw him lower his head and say something in his ear. He frowned, but said nothing more.

Li Xi raised her eyebrows, "Does this mean I can leave now?"

The prime minister glanced at Long Qi and then at her, and suddenly felt his wife on the bed pulling his sleeve. He turned to look at his wife's expression and understood, "There's no need to leave in a hurry. It won't be too late to leave after your wife recovers."

Li Xixiao didn't listen to him at all. Thinking of Shanluo who was still locked up in the small dark room, he said, "I have one more thing to say."

"You say." said the prime minister.

She said sadly, "Your husband has quite a misunderstanding of me. Hearing that my wife was poisoned, he wanted to imprison me early in the morning. Can you give me an explanation now?"

It’s time for a gentleman to take revenge!

"Aqi, is this true?" the prime minister asked.

The lady on the bed also heard it carefully and was quite surprised. Did she misunderstand?

Archie didn't like her?

"Yes." Long Qi answered, his eyes drifting towards Li Xiying, but she ignored his gaze.

The prime minister showed his tiredness, "A guest is a guest, not to mention a woman, so don't be disrespectful. Well, my lady needs to rest, you can go out now."

"Yes."

A few young men arrived later and saw that the grandfather had driven them out. Then they confirmed that their mother was fine and left in shame.

At this time, Long Qi followed closely behind Li Xiying, and when they reached a winding path not far away, she stopped abruptly.

The tall figure enveloped her entire body.

"If you have something to say, just say it. What do you want me to do?"

He looked at her retreating and snorted slightly, but couldn't help but follow her steps. "I sent someone to the manor you mentioned. I just got the news."

Li Xi's heart skipped a beat. Seeing that he didn't continue, she stopped and hid the guilty feeling on her face. She raised her eyebrows slightly and stared into his eyes. "What do you think you can find out?"

"What don't you want me to find out?" he continued to ask coldly.

"Since you have found out, why are you coming to ask me?" Li Xiying threw the question back again. It seemed that he also had only a vague understanding of the question. She would just accompany him in this pointless probing.

This question has been thrown around over and over again, but no one has solved it first.

He didn't continue to test, and after a long while he asked again: "Do you want to stay?"

She smiled, "What do you think?"

Wasn't he used to guessing other people's thoughts and intentions? She refused to answer, which made him angry.

Long Qi saw it as a provocation and also a sign of dissatisfaction.

"I know you are curious about my background, so you went to check, but I am just a passing stranger to you. Just treat me as an orphan girl from the world. Why should we get entangled with each other?" She said bluntly while looking at the lady's bedroom not far away.

The prime minister beside the couch had a look of distress on his face.

In fact, the prime minister should have suspected her and pointed the finger at her first, after all, the person most likely to poison the mansion was her, who had just arrived! But he didn't.

What does it mean that his wife was poisoned, but he was anxious but not in a hurry to find out who poisoned her?

She vaguely felt that the prime minister should already know who was behind the poisoning, including the incident with the poisoned horse?

So that's why he didn't doubt her?

Is he deliberately keeping silent? Who is behind this that makes him willing to keep silent and not expose it?

There is another possibility, he knows her identity!

Li Xixiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No matter whether the prime minister knew her identity or not, she would not stay any longer!

Putting aside the thoughts in his mind, he then said to Long Qi: "In fact, I have no grudges against you. Apart from the incident the day before yesterday, we probably won't have any intersection in our lives. I don't have the leisure to harm others. You don't need to waste time speculating and investigating me."

"As for what you said, I want to be promoted to a higher position." She sneered, "In this world, although women need to make a living, the situation in the court is different now. What's the use of being a prime minister? What's the use of being in a high position? It only takes a moment to fall into the abyss."

During my grandfather's reign, which lasted only a few decades, how many civil and military officials, including the prime minister, who was second only to the emperor, changed and how many died? There is no eternal glory and wealth in the world. Those who think that they can get everything done once and for all by clinging to the powerful are naive.

"I just want to be in control of my own life, not clinging to anyone, nor submitting to anyone, and at least be true to every decision I make," she said.

"What a worthy person! This lady is obviously a smart person."

The person who came was Cui Silang who came out just now. He was really surprised to hear Li Xiying say that she didn't want to be in the position.

He took brisk steps, and it seemed that his eyes were shining.

Li Xiying already recognized him. He was Silang who had had dinner with them yesterday.

Cui Silang crossed his arms towards Long Qi, "Qilang, have you finished your talk? Can I borrow this lady for a while?"

Long Qi was about to reply when Li Xiqi spoke first, "Sir, what do you mean? Just say it if you have something to say. I am not an object, let alone his. How can I borrow it?" Li Xiqi looked unhappy and corrected him in a serious tone.

"I am not good at talking, but does that lady know how to play chess?" Cui Silang went straight to the point. He seldom played chess with women, and even less with smart women, let alone a woman who was as beautiful as a fairy and also very smart.

"A little bit." Li Xiwei stared at him in confusion, not knowing what he was up to and why he suddenly changed the topic to something so irrelevant.

"I was also thinking that it doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it. I can teach you. A smart woman like Madam Xi will definitely learn it once taught. Since you know how to do it, that's great. Why don't we move to the pavilion and play a game of gamble?"

Just a game?

"No, there is a young lady who is still being locked up in a dark little room by her adopted husband. She is just a weak girl and has been locked up for more than an hour. I have to let her out." Li Xi said as he turned and left.

"Qilang, why do you like to imprison women so much? You don't know how to be gentle and considerate to women." Cui Silang said seriously as he watched Li Xiqi's departing back.

Soon Li Xiying arrived at the dark room where Shanluo was imprisoned. After being stunned for a while, he raised his hand to unbolt the door, and saw Shanluo's gaze moving from the window to the light at the door.

There was no one at the door, and it wasn't even locked. Li Xiying looked very upset. This... made her more angry than locking it heavily!

Is this what he meant when he said that if he didn't want her to come out, she wouldn't be able to come out? He wanted to test whether she would escape from the house. If she did, it would be just what he wanted, and he could say that she had fled because she was afraid of the crime?
