The Princess's Deadly Daily Life
Chapter 48 You don’t smell like money.
"Whose daughter are you?" She squatted down and spoke gently.
Because she was hit twice and her jaw was bleeding, she was confused and unable to speak.
But she knew what the lady meant.
Afterwards, he was indeed "sent away" by a few ruffians called by the drunkard, and then thrown into the street by those men. Suddenly, his eyes went dark, and when he woke up, he was already in bed.
Li Xuan saw that she was in a daze, so he took off the gauze on her leg. Her delicate skin felt icy cold when it touched his palm. He was a doctor at this moment, and he was calm as long as she didn't feel any discomfort.
He said, "The injury is not serious, and the leg is not broken, but it is sprained quite badly. Anyway, I can't walk for the past two days. It's just some superficial injuries. I can walk after the injury is healed."
"Thank you."
"what?"
"I said thank you."
"I thought you would keep guessing about my intentions. But it's natural to be on guard against others. I don't blame you." He still stared at the medicine in her hand. When it was almost cold, she poured it all into her mouth like drinking sugar water, until she finished the last drop.
Even a strong man would frown after drinking such a bitter medicine, but she did it cleanly and neatly without any procrastination. It can be seen that people who have experienced life and death are different.
She returned the bowl to him, leaned against the bed and smiled coldly, "It's ridiculous. I tried every means to get close to King Liang and voluntarily offered my innocence, but I couldn't even touch his buttons. It's ridiculous that such a reckless, sexually lustful and brutal man actually flattered his wife and obeyed her orders. I am unable to accomplish what I want to accomplish. What can you change by saving me? Maybe one day I will fail to kill him and die miserably in the city." She calmly moved the corners of her mouth, weakly mocking herself.
Li Zhen was aroused and asked, "You want to kill him. Does he have a grudge against you?"
She looked unwilling, "Shouldn't the treacherous minister be killed? Grandpa was killed by the treacherous minister, and the saint buried him and conferred a title on him, allowing him to rest in peace. I am grateful for the care my family received. Now that my mother is gone, I have lost both my parents and have no place to live. Naturally, I should go through fire and water for the saint and help him solve his problems."
Li Xuan laughed, "You are a woman, and you want to assassinate him, an old man with rich military achievements. He has helped the saints solve their problems countless times, and he is not so powerless that he has to rely on women to sell themselves out to turn the tide. And you are so insignificant, do you know that it is just a fool's dream? He can reach his current position not by making a fool of himself."
She also smiled, but it was a bitter smile, "I have nothing to worry about anymore, I'm just going to die anyway."
"But if you tell everyone you meet, won't that expose yourself?"
She shook her head, her face was charming, and said, "You said that, but why don't you know that I have already guessed your identity?"
"Oh?" He sat at the table and poured himself a glass of cold water. "I'd like to hear more about it."
Her eyes darkened. "I suspected you were Zhu Wen's man at first, but it's impossible for his men to leave me on the street and then rescue me. I heard that King Liang is cruel and has no patience with women other than his wife. If you die, then die. There's no point in doing anything unnecessary."
"You seem to know Zhu Wen's background very well." Li Zhen took a sip of cold water, which gurgled down his throat and moistened his heart and lungs. He was somewhat curious about how this young lady would justify herself. "Then tell me, how do you know my identity?"
"Because you don't look like a doctor. I've never seen a doctor place a patient in the mansion. After thinking about it, I was sure of your identity. Although this is a guest room, it is very exquisite. There are valuable calligraphy and paintings on the wall, unique murals and spotless carpets on the floor, as well as exquisitely carved sandalwood high-legged tables and chairs and brocade satin bedding. You must be rich or noble. Among the few ministers of the court who are as young as you, it must be His Royal Highness Prince Xian. And isn't there only one His Royal Highness Prince Xian who likes medical skills and despises politics? Prince Xian?"
Li Zhen stood up and said, "What if you guessed wrong? There are also wealthy and prosperous merchants in Chang'an."
She pointed at the painting on the wall. He looked where her finger pointed and heard her say, "This painting is a scene from the palace called 'Riding and Archery'. Ordinary people can't easily own it."
"That's it?"
She didn't know what he wanted to prove, so she just said, "You don't smell like money."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Suddenly, the secret guard outside the door came to report. Li Zhen's face was solemn, but there was still a faint smile on the corner of his lips, and he walked out of the room.
The hidden guard presented the letter to Li Xuan, saying that he had taken it to the village and asked everyone about it, but no one, including the grandmother, said they knew what it meant.
Li Xuan took the letter and was about to leave when someone in the room called him, "Thank you for taking me in. If you need any help, please let me know."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xuan walked into the room, thought for a moment, and then handed the painting to her.
She looked at the scribbled picture, her eyelashes fluttering, her lips moving slightly: "Sun, fallen leaves, cicadas?"
Li Jian said, "This is a painting by my niece. It's not a cicada, but a caterpillar that looks like a cicada."
He then suddenly realized, "This girl is in Luoyang? Impossible!"
She was sold to a brothel and someone saved her. She was also robbed and someone saved her. So who was the one who protected her? This painting was obviously a random doodle she made to confuse people and not let him find it.
She is still in Chang'an!
The water in the tub was already lukewarm, and Li Xiying was still floating above the water with her shoulders and neck, leaning against the tub. The steaming water mist turned into a cool breeze blowing on the water, causing her to shiver.
He opened his eyes and found no one in the room.
Li Xixiao turned around and stood up, hearing the sound of rushing water.
Her black hair, as soft as algae, cascaded down to her waist. She stepped out of the bathtub, dried herself, and casually grabbed a set of ruqun (skirt) to put on.
Suddenly I felt a pair of eyes staring at me from behind, like a thorn in my back.
When she turned around, she saw that the window on the east wall was half open. She was so shocked that she wanted to beat her chest and kowtow, wondering why she didn't notice that the window was open before going into the water!
She quickly put on her ruqun, then walked to the window and saw a tall figure walking away in the distance.
The back figure looked familiar. When the person looked away from the side, the outline became clear. It turned out to be Sanlang who drank porridge with the prime minister's wife today?
Did he see it? The bathtub was placed in a position that blocked most of the view outside the window, so perhaps he didn't see it.
But Li Xiying still felt a slight chill in her heart and shivered for a moment.
"Madam, are you ready? The water is getting cold." The maid's reminder came from outside the door.
I soaked in the bath for a whole hour, at least half an hour. The water had become half cold and the last trace of heat had dissipated.
"It's ready, come in."
The maids and servants in the mansion worked together to deal with the buckets and dirty clothes in the room.
Li Xiying casually braided her hair into a bun as usual and fixed it. As soon as she stood up, she was blocked by a box brought by a maid.
"My dear, your hair lacks some decorations. Madam asked me to bring some jade and gold hairpins. Would you like to choose?"
