The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Shanluo was speechless and suddenly repented.

Although the princess' words were cold, she felt a little warmth. Even at this point, the princess was still trying to separate her from her grandfather, only scolding her for being confused, but not saying that she had a bad heart. She felt indescribable shame in her heart.

Seeing that she was still kneeling, Li Xiying helped her up by the crook of her arm. She looked at Shan Luo with a hint of hatred for her incompetence, "Don't be frightened by your adoptive father's fake tricks. I will take responsibility for any problems. Think more about what you do in the future. Don't let those who use you get complacent or let those who trust you get disappointed."

Seeing that the princess had no intention of blaming her, she was deeply moved. She sobbed and nodded continuously, keeping in mind what the princess said.

"Your father was sentenced to death, but now he has escaped, which is against Tang law. You should explain this to me, and I will send someone to investigate the situation before making a decision. No matter who released him from prison, the government will inevitably arrest him again."

Originally, this was a decision she made after weighing the pros and cons. Since she chose to confess afterwards, then forget it. It was just a meeting after all.

What happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion today has already reminded the Prime Minister. He is in a high position and should be able to react immediately. If anyone can threaten his wife's life, then he doesn't need to be the Prime Minister. It must be some kind of force, so he was caught off guard.

I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch the culprit.

Suddenly, Li Xiyi thought of the day when someone pretended to be a maid in the prime minister's mansion, but actually wore two human skin masks and took her to a decadent place under the pretext of the lady's invitation. If she hadn't been protected by the secret guards, what would have happened to her? Suddenly, a guess came to her mind.

For the time being, she classified that woman as the same group of people who rescued Shanluo's adoptive father from prison. The person behind the scenes was too mysterious, and she couldn't guess his intentions. She just felt confused.

It's so confusing!

Wearing a human skin mask that looks like her and tarnishing her reputation in the Prime Minister's Mansion, what's next?

Now that the enemy is in the dark, she has no idea what the other party's intentions are or what purpose they can achieve.

Suddenly she thought of something...

The other party was so careful and cautious in giving the prime minister's wife the drug, but the dosage was controlled appropriately so that she would not lose her life. If they were deliberately targeting her to get rid of her, there was a simpler way. They could have given her a lethal poison alone. After all, she ate whatever the mansion gave her before.

But the other party did not do so. The only explanation is that the other party did not want anyone's life.

Her life, the lady’s life, and the lives of everyone in the mansion!

You know, poisoning someone while avoiding everyone in the mansion and only poisoning the prime minister's wife is also a skill worth bragging about!

After all, every time the poisoning occurred, there was someone accompanying the prime minister's wife for dinner. They ate the same food, but only she was poisoned.

This time was the most severe case of Madam Xiang's illness. She suddenly fell to the ground without any symptoms. There was no sign at all. However, she was able to find a doctor in less than a quarter of an hour. The doctor immediately diagnosed such a rare poison and found the antidote right away, which shows that the other party did not want to make a big fuss.

Li Xixi thought about it over and over again until his headache was splitting. Never mind, just deal with it. No matter who she is, as long as no one is killed, just wait and see.

The sky has been gloomy today, and it seems that a heavy rain is about to happen.

In the Prime Minister's residence, the Prime Minister's wife drank the antidote and woke up in less than half an hour. The maids and servants beside her all breathed a sigh of relief.

The prime minister's wife looked at the people in the room, all sobbing and frowning, and asked in confusion, "What happened? Why are you all so sad?"

The old woman looked at the lady who was still confused, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said with tears and snot: "Madam, I hope you are well!"

The Prime Minister's wife looked at the Prime Minister.

"You should take a good rest and don't worry about anything else. We can talk about other things after you get well." The prime minister patted his wife's hand and said in a tactful way.

Madam Xiang looked around but could not see Li Xiying, so she asked the maid again, "When did Xiying leave?"

The old woman said, "She left a quarter of an hour ago."

After the prime minister left, his wife looked solemn and pressed him again, "Tell me honestly, what happened after I suddenly fainted?"

The old woman avoided his gaze and was caught by the mistress.

"If you don't tell me, someone will tell me. But you are still my confidant!"

The Prime Minister's words were very harsh. The old woman knew that hiding things would only make her more angry, so she told her everything.

Unexpectedly, the lady became even more angry, "You said that the maid pointed out that Xi Yu was the one who poisoned her. Where is that maid? I will interrogate her myself!"

The old woman hurriedly asked the maid to call for help, and then poured her another cup of hot water to calm her down. "Madam, I also felt it was strange, but the situation was urgent at the time, and the doctor said that the rhizome was the antidote, so we determined that she was the one who poisoned her."

Madam frowned, "How could she poison someone? How foolish! Didn't she know about this obvious frame-up?"

The old woman was stunned, wondering how the lady could trust someone who might be a threat to her life.

She hadn't even calmed down yet when the maid was called over.

As soon as the maid saw the lady, she knelt down and insisted that it was the virus brought by Li Xiwei.

"Madam, I saw it with my own eyes! The large amount of roots of the poisonous plants were found in her room. Think about it, you were fine before she came, but after she came, you always fell ill. The prime minister drove her away, which was too good for her. She should be beaten to death!"

Listening to the maid's words, Long Qi, who came to the door, sneered and said, "Since you saw it with your own eyes, why did Madam wait until something happened before coming out to identify it?"

The maid was silenced by the question.

"Sheltering the person who poisoned her is as guilty as the person who poisoned her. How should you punish her for not reporting it when you saw her poisoning her?"

The maid panicked and said anxiously, "Master Qi, you misunderstood! I...I didn't see her poisoning."

The old woman slapped him and said, "Damn it, you dare to scare the Madam? Didn't you just say that it was Madam Li who poisoned her?"

The maid's face was already red and swollen, but she still didn't change her words, "We found the roots of the poison plant in her room. Who else could have poisoned her except her?"

Cui Erlang stepped forward and analyzed, "Mother, I also find it a little strange. How could poison from a neighboring country end up in the Prime Minister's residence? Her identity also needs to be verified."

But he didn't understand why his grandfather let him go so easily. According to the previous government rules, it must not be that easy.

The lady was silent for a while. She also sent people to Luoyang to investigate her identity. The people who came back said that there was no family with a woman named Li who escaped from marriage. Xi Xi had left the Prime Minister's Mansion in the past few days, so the matter was delayed and there was no rush to investigate it in detail.

But even so, she still didn't believe that Xi Ying would do this.

Madam said to them politely, "You all know that she ignored her own safety to warn the horse that it was poisoned, and then jumped into the water to save your sister-in-law and her unborn child. Not to mention that she is a benefactor of the mansion, how can we turn a blind eye to her kindness? When I first met her, I concluded that she was from a good family, and her speech and behavior were even more unusual. But she didn't want to reveal her true identity and family background, so how can I say that she has bad intentions? I think she only stayed in the mansion out of helplessness, so how can I slander her for harming me?"

"Mother, I always feel that you like her so much for reasons other than these." Cui Erlang looked at his mother and said, "I have seen how you have been these past few days. Even though she was my sister-in-law's benefactor, she didn't have bad intentions. How could she make you so distracted after she left? It's really hard to understand."

A'niang's unreserved trust and joy for her were something she never had for Madam Chu, who had not yet married into the family, and her elder sister-in-law, who had already given birth to a child.

Seeing that all the children were present, the lady did not want to evade Erlang's question, so she did not hide it and spoke out what was in her heart: "Mother has always had a regret. Perhaps you have forgotten that thirteen years ago you had a younger sister named Cui Zhi."

When she said this, the lady was still in tears and heartbroken. It was the first time in thirteen years that she told her youngest daughter's name to the children. The tightness in her throat and the redness in her eyes were not as great as the pain in her heart.
