The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

The rain had stopped outside, and the servant could not stop it even if he wanted to, not to mention facing Madam Chu's eager gaze. When he heard Li Xiying say it was not necessary, he quickly put away the umbrella.

When they arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, they went straight to the point.

The lady was lying in bed seriously ill. This was the second time Li Xiying saw her fall ill.

"Madam, are you okay?" Chu Yiyi knew some martial arts, so her steps were faster and lighter than those of ordinary people. She took the lead, sat down beside the lady's couch, and asked with concern.

The old woman next to her said with a worried look on her face, "Madam's condition is even worse than this morning. She was still quite energetic when Madam Chu came this morning, but now she has fallen into a coma. The doctor came and went, and she gave her acupuncture, but the fever still couldn't be reduced..."

She saw Li Xiying behind her and hurriedly said, "Madam, please talk to the Madam. When she heard that Silang had lost you yesterday, she fainted out of anxiety. She was reluctant to let you go."

After hearing these words, Chu Yiyi frowned and looked at Li Xiying, feeling full of doubts.

Li Xiying stepped forward and Chu Yiyi made way for her.

She held Madam's hand and asked doubtfully, "Madam, are you sick because of me? Or is it because you missed Zhi'er too much?"

Cui Sanlang glanced at Chu Yiyi and said, "Let's go out and let them talk properly."

Chu Yiyi went outside and asked Cui Sanlang, "Why does your mother like her so much? Is it because of something she did or some other factor?"

Cui Sanlang said, "I don't know either. If she did something, would it count if she jumped into the water to save my sister-in-law? And she's so pretty, it's hard not to like her, right? Maybe my mother likes her so much that she wants her to be her daughter-in-law. If her favorite daughter-in-law ran away, wouldn't she be so anxious that she fell ill?"

Chu Yiyi obviously didn't believe this reason, "What's the connection? Your reason is too far-fetched! She likes me, too, so why wouldn't she fall ill because of me?"

"You are jealous of this too? How would I know?" Cui Sanlang said.

"Do you like her? What's her identity, what's her name, and who are her parents?" she asked anxiously. So many things had happened during this period of time that she didn't know about. What ability did the woman in that room have to be able to control the hostess here?

"What's it got to do with you?" Cui Sanlang said as he walked towards his room.

"Just tell me!" She chased him until he entered the room and then gave up.

Cui Sanlang held the door and said with a smile, "Why don't you continue chasing? Don't you want to come in and ask a few more questions?"

Chu Yiyi was angry and embarrassed, she stamped her feet and said, "Humph, if you don't tell me, I'll ask someone else. You can tell me if you want!"

As for the Prime Minister's wife, no matter what Li Xiying said, she seemed to be unable to hear anything and did not react at all.

She then asked the old woman, "Still can't take the medicine?"

The old woman's eyes were red. "Yes, no matter how much medicine you give me, I will just get it out. There is nothing you can do about it."

"The only way is to wake her up and feed her medicine. Let the doctor give her acupuncture and then let her drink the medicine after she wakes up."

The old woman nodded, "I did the same thing this morning. Madam was still groggy when she woke up and refused to take medicine. Even the prime minister couldn't coax her into taking a single drop. Now you are here and I will ask the doctor to come back!"

The old woman left, leaving only two maids standing in the room.

Li Xiying suddenly found a painting on the table. It was spread out on the table and it could be seen that it was a portrait of a woman.

The portrait looked very familiar, and she suddenly remembered something. The woman in the portrait seemed to be somewhat similar to the one in her fourth uncle's family. No, they were exactly the same.

"Xi Xi, you're here?" came the lady's voice.

Li Xiying saw that his wife had woken up, so he put down the portrait and said, "It was Cui Sanlang who called me here and said that you were sick."

Madam slowly shook her head, "Don't blame you, it's my fault."

"I just want to ask, who is the person in this portrait? I seem to have seen her before." Li Xiying looked at the portrait in confusion.

The lady looked over and said, "Really? She is the daughter of the late Prime Minister Wei. She is now alone and helpless. The emperor is planning to marry her to my husband... cough cough..." She said too much and her throat tightened, so she coughed twice.

"What?" Such a beautiful woman was to be the prime minister's wife, or concubine, not to mention the prime minister was so much older than her! What was Grandpa thinking? Seeing her lose her father, he bullied her like this?

She coughed and said weakly, "I feel weak. The position of the mistress of this family will have to be replaced sooner or later. There are too many affairs at home. I have been in charge of it alone for so many years. It's time to take a break and ask the younger generation to help."

Li Xi choked up. Even if that was the case, you shouldn't joke about someone's life. At this age, she's more than qualified to be her daughter-in-law.

But this is someone else's family affair and she can't interfere.

"I came here because I left without coming to say goodbye in person. I was impolite, but my fourth uncle found me and said that my marriage can be postponed, so I can no longer stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion and bother him." Li Xi said.

"It's nothing, I understand your feelings. I have been too abrupt these days. I think you are like Zhi'er and I wanted to keep you longer. I just dreamed of Zhi'er last night. She had a very hard life. She was stranded in a poor family. She didn't have enough food to eat, warm clothes to wear, and couldn't sleep well every day. I was heartbroken. It's also because I didn't fully recover last time and my body is not strong enough. It's okay. If you want to leave, I can't force you to stay. I just hope you can come to see me more often." The lady looked like she couldn't even lift her eyelids, and she seemed to be forcing herself to speak.

I didn't expect the lady to have such a guess. Isn't this Shanluo's experience? Thinking of Shanluo, she hypothesized: "If you find your biological daughter at this time, what will you do?"

The lady shook her head slightly, as if she no longer believed that such a thing would happen. "It's impossible to find her. It's been more than ten years. I have accepted my fate. If she comes to recognize me, I will definitely hang up lights and set off fireworks for ten days and ten nights to celebrate her return home. I will make it up to her and not let her suffer any grievances."

"But it's been more than ten years. She's already at the age to get married. Maybe it's cruel to send her off in person shortly after we met." Li Xiying said. Perhaps what she said was also Shanluo's other concern.

"No, I will find a live-in son-in-law. If I really find her, will I be unable to support her husband?" The lady laughed heartily when she said this, "It's like finding something that has no solution."

At this time, the old woman brought the doctor. Seeing the peace and joy in the house, her anxiety was also swept away by half. Two maids followed behind and brought medicine.

The doctor saw that the lady seemed to be in much better spirits, so he hurried forward to feel her pulse. "Well, that's it. You should keep a good mood, so that you can recover quickly. The fever is also subsiding. Finish the medicine, work less, and you will be better in a few days."

The old woman smiled and said, "You are really capable. You can make Madam happy, which is better than taking any medicine."

The maid brought the medicine, and the old woman, the maid and the doctor all looked at her, as if asking her to feed them the medicine.

With so many looks, she had no choice but to take the medicine bowl, sit beside the couch, and say softly, "Madam, drink the medicine first."

Madam Xiang looked up at her, and was helped to sit up by the old woman. There was mist in her eyes, as if she was enjoying the happiness of family life, and she looked at her kindly.

With every spoonful of food Li Xiying fed, she felt that she was receiving wave after wave of maternal love for Shanluo. She felt that this look originally belonged to Shanluo, but Shanluo could not feel it, and she could not bear this love and was in great torment.

After Madam Xiang drank the medicine with great difficulty, she lay down, holding Li Xiying's hand and said, "Will you come to see me in the future? Can you stay with me longer?"

"Of course, Madam likes me so much, I am very grateful." She saw a pipa by the wall and became interested. "This five-string pipa should be quite old."

She smiled and said politely, "Yes, I let Sanlang play with it a few days ago, and he broke a string. The musician who repaired it said it was a waste of natural resources, saying that the string was made of the finest material and was unique in the world. Now that I have a new string, it has lost its value."

"It won't be a pity as long as it's repaired." Li Xiying said.

"Do you know pipa?" The lady's eyes lit up. "Can you play it?"

"Of course I can. I am not good at embroidery, and I can't say I am proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I know the basics."

Madam Xiang hurriedly ordered someone to take down the pipa and handed it to Li Xiying. "It seems that your parents intend to cultivate you to be a talented woman. If my daughter were here, I would definitely teach her these things, which would not only cultivate her body and mind, but also increase her talent. I haven't listened to the sound of pipa for a long time. You might as well play it for a while."
