The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Chapter 45: I'm not going to let you down by assigning it to you.

Long Qi thought for a while and said, "When did I lock you up for an hour?"

Li Xi was displeased. "Shanluo has been imprisoned for me for so long. Who do you think this is a favor? If you can do it, do it. If you can't, forget it."

He turned around, and she thought he would just leave by himself and not care about her, so she raised her voice a little, "Don't leave by yourself, I'll call for help if you go downstairs!"

He walked closer and closer, until they were just inches away. He raised his waist and tapped his toes lightly, and he could feel the wind blowing in his ears and his clothes rustling.

After reaching the ground, Li Xixiao pushed him away and was about to leave when his voice sounded again, with a treacherous tone, "Should I believe you?"

She said: "Whether you believe it or not, we will never see each other again anyway."

"Do you have a twin sister?"

He could still vividly remember the pitiful woman lying on a mat at the gate of the prime minister's residence a few days ago, sobbing and begging him to take her in... If she didn't look exactly the same, how could he have suspected that she had some ulterior motive?

Who was responsible for what happened in the mansion these days?

There is someone else behind the person who poisoned the horse.

But no matter whether Yi fell into the lake accidentally or someone did it on purpose, she risked her life to go into the lake to fish it out; someone poisoned his aunt but did not kill her, and he first suspected her, but she seemed to want to find the murderer more than he did.

He had guessed that he had regarded all this as an act on her part to show that she was getting promoted.

But she never took the initiative to approach the prime minister.

Today’s game in the pavilion was also initiated by Cui Silang who offered gifts and invited us.

He always felt that she was too patient and was playing a big game!

All signs were pointing in one direction, but she said she would leave tomorrow, which instantly disrupted his guess.

But he seemed disappointed, but not quite disappointed.

If it is true as she said that she was dragged into this situation helplessly, and lied about her background and refused to reveal her parents' real address just to escape the marriage, then it is understandable.

If she acted, her performance was full of self-contradictions and mistakes.

A thought flashed through her mind in an instant - she had a twin sister.

"What do you mean?" A puzzled look appeared on her face.

"No intention, just asking."

Li Xiying was speechless and choked up, "No." She turned around and left.

"Where did you get that dagger?"

She clenched her palms and said coldly, "How dare you mention a dagger? That was a gift from my grandfather on my birthday. What? Do you suspect that it was stolen from your house?"

Thinking that the only dagger given by his grandfather was broken and lost, he was so angry that he went back to his room without even looking back.

Long Qi's black hair was already wet. He recalled that the patterns on the broken dagger that day were made by the royal family. In the past two years, many ministers had been rewarded according to their merits, otherwise they would not have been brought to the people.

I never thought about it that way before, but now I have some doubts. Is she the daughter of some minister?

The next day.

Li Xiqi came with nothing and left with nothing, without a penny. To pack himself up was to pack everything up. He got up early in the morning and took Shanluo to his lady's yard.

Walking through the rockery, corridor and flower path, the lake is full of reflections like a painting. The lady's bedroom is at the other end. You have to walk towards the main hall and pass by the gate.

An old man in official uniform walked to the gate, followed by a man.

The soldiers had received instructions from the prime minister in advance, so when they saw Minister Han, they skipped the trouble of reporting in and led the two men to where the minister was.

The old man has sharp and bright eyes, and although he is already sixty years old, he still has an upright figure.

When Han Qi saw Li Xi and Li Xi, he lowered his head and whispered something in his grandfather's ear.

The old man glanced at Shanluo behind Li Xiying, his eyes full of mystery. After a moment, he followed the soldier without saying a word.

Han Qi walked closer, scratched his head and explained, "That's my grandfather. He came to discuss government affairs with Prime Minister Cui."

He followed the topic, looked at Shan Luo again, and said in a deep voice: "I came here today because of something about you. It's a long story, can I have a word with you for a moment?"

"About me?" Shan Luo was a little surprised.

Looking at the handsome face in front of me, I couldn't help but feel nervous. She was alone now, what else could I say about her?

Li Xi said: "In this case, I will not participate. I will leave Chang'an after I have settled my affairs."

"Leave? Then Shanluo..."

Seeing Han Qi's strange expression, she gradually began to joke, "No, she stays."

Shan Luo nodded hurriedly, eyelashes drooping as she explained to Han Qi: "Don't worry, Mr. Han, I've found a job that can not only support myself, but also... I will slowly pay you back, even if I can't pay you back in this lifetime."

Han Qi looked at her helplessly explaining, her voice getting smaller and smaller, and suddenly he couldn't help but laugh and cry.

"Not only do I not ask you to pay it back, I even asked my grandfather to help you get the house back, but... to no avail."

Shan Luo pursed her lips and shook her head, comforting him: "I am already very satisfied, Mr. Han, you don't have to make it difficult to help me."

"It's not difficult."

……

At this time, Li Xiying had quietly left while they were chatting, and walked through the corridors and halls, and soon arrived at the bedroom of the prime minister's wife.

Madam Xiang looks much better today, and her maid is serving her porridge.

Seeing Li Xiying coming, the lady smiled and invited her in to eat porridge with her. "Yesterday, when you talked about cold things, I realized that the dishes I usually like are like this. Thanks to you for finding the crux. From now on, I need you to be by my side to supervise me. Look, I have been tossing and turning for a whole day and night, and I dare to drink some porridge today. You have had breakfast, why don't we eat together?"

The hem of her skirt rustled as she walked into the house, only to find that the man who had listened to the pipa music last night was drinking porridge with her wife, and standing next to him was a beautiful woman with cloud-like hair and mist-like bun, but she was obviously not the one from last night.

Li Xiyi bowed and said, "Thank you, Madam, for taking me in for so many days. Now that the matter of the past few days has been clarified, it is time for me to leave, so I came to say goodbye to you."

Several people looked at her together. Some who were drinking porridge stopped drinking, and some who were wiping their mouths asked the maid to take their handkerchiefs away.

Madam said politely, "Silang has told me the reason. It was Long Qi who wronged you. I will definitely scold him. You have nothing to worry about, so you can stay for a few more days. Besides, where can a girl go? If you stay at home, I will treat you as a daughter and let you wander around. This will not only protect the safety and reputation of your family, but also prevent your parents from forcing you to marry. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

The man sitting next to him was listening with great interest. When he suddenly heard the crux of the matter, he interrupted and said, "Why didn't the mother ask her son's opinion before adopting her daughter as her goddaughter?"

The lady glanced at him, not knowing whether to be surprised or amused. "You are so observant now. You are not at home all day. Do you know that something big happened at home? Even if someone kept talking to you, it would be hard for you to pay attention. Okay, okay, now let me ask you, is it okay to have another sister?"

The man shook his head, obviously dissatisfied with his wife's perfunctory question.

"Although I like to indulge in my own pleasures, I still know everything about my family." He stood up and walked to Li Xiying, walked around her, and immediately ignored the maid who had been standing by her side to serve her. "Mother, there is no need for a sister. What my son lacks is a wife."

His intimacy made Li Xiying feel disgusted, as if she was an object being priced by others.

"Sanlang, don't be rude." The lady scolded him lightly, and when he sat back down obediently, she continued, "You are so unruly every day. If you stop making jokes and change your temper, wouldn't it be nice to marry the daughter of the Tongzhou governor?"

Cui Sanlang lost interest and said angrily, "Forget it. I don't want to bring a tigress into the house."

The lady patiently advised: "The daughter of the governor of Tongzhou is both beautiful and talented. Would it be unfair to you if she were to marry you?"

"Wronged!"

Seeing him looking up in dissatisfaction, the lady was about to scold him again, but suddenly remembered something, "Hey, you little brat, you've gone off topic. Xi Xi, don't listen to his nonsense, just stay and keep me company, I feel like we are meant to be together. By the way, I'll ask the tailor to come and make new clothes for you later."
