The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Madam Xiang still remembered that she had only mentioned the general term "Western Regions" to Aqi, and kept his father's identity a secret. So today he mentioned tombs and Yanqi. Could it be that someone told him something?

She was worried that Long Qi had sensed something, but was afraid that she had misunderstood, so she smiled and replied: "This country once came to pay tribute to the emperor together with other nations, and it also had many cultural exchanges with our Tang Dynasty. It's just that it's too far away from here. If you want to understand this country, you have to look for books in the collection."

Seeing that he looked normal, she continued, "I remember your uncle's library has books like this. If you need anything, just go to your uncle's library and look for it. But why are you suddenly interested in this?"

Long Qi said calmly, "After the Yanqi people came to the Tang Dynasty, they invented a unique technique of disguise. Aunt, have you heard of it?"

Madam Xiang's expression paused for a moment, then she looked up at Long Qi and asked in surprise, "You have actually come into contact with the Yanqi people?"

He nodded truthfully.

The Prime Minister's wife was even more surprised. She thought of Bahar. He must have had selfish motives in protecting Archie in secret for more than ten years. Perhaps he had told Archie everything.

Thinking of this, she was about to ask...

He said calmly, "Aunt, I have decided to go to Yanqi Village tomorrow to find out what is going on. Aunt, be careful, there may be people from Yanqi around you. They have mastered the art of disguise to perfection, and there is no guarantee that they will not use it to... cheat."

"How dare they?" She blurted out this sentence, and then thought of something, "Could it be that someone has already... cheated me?"

Then she glanced at the half-open door. The aunt and nephew had been talking at the door for a long time. Logically, Xi Ying should have come out after hearing it, but now there seemed to be no movement in the room. Combined with the situation at the door just now, the lady suddenly realized something and pushed open the door.

"She... is actually a Yanqi person pretending to be someone else to deceive me?"

There was no one inside the door.

Madam Xiang couldn't suppress her anger. "No wonder she doesn't have a mole between her eyebrows and her words are incoherent. Did the Yanqi people paint a face to tease me?"

Long Qi nodded. His aunt was always smart and understood everything immediately. She replied, "I originally caught the fake person, but he was rescued by a Yanqi man who was over 60 years old and had a good tongue."

"Could that man be Bahar?" the lady said angrily, as if she had realized something.

Long Qi nodded.

"So, he was the one who said he wanted to take you to...Yanqi Village?"

Madam had already guessed all the reasons. Now she was burning with anger. When she heard Long Qi's affirmative answer again, she almost vomited blood. Thinking of Li Xiying's safety, she asked, "Where is Xiying? Will she be in danger?"

"Li Xixuan is in the palace, so generally nothing will happen to him, but we have to confirm it. I will find out clearly before going to Yanqi Village." Long Qi said.

At this point, Madam Xiang realized that everything she had concealed had already been revealed by someone else. She sighed slightly, "So, Aqi, did you go to Yanqi Village because that Yanqi man told you... your life story?"

"So you're going to visit your birth mother?"

His expression changed slightly, but he remained noncommittal.

The wife realized that if she hadn't guessed it just now, Aqi would have always pretended not to know, and she felt guilty about it. "I never thought that a secret that I had kept for twenty years would need an outsider to tell my nephew."

"This old fellow really dares to make his own decision..."

She couldn't help shaking her head, and turned to tell him: "Twenty years ago, when Bahar handed you to me as an infant, I had never even seen your mother. At that time, I was still extremely saddened by the tragic news of my brother's death, and I was half-believing and half-doubting what Bahar said. But Bahar brought the gold and silver boxes that my brother left for you, and several carts of treasures sealed in mud jars, and finally arrived in the Tang Dynasty after going through countless hardships and dangers. At that time, I felt that he was a loyal minister beside my brother who had no greed, so I believed it deeply..."

Long Qi understood that this meant that everything she knew was what Bahar had told her, and she did not know the truth about his biological mother.

Madam Xiang said with red eyes, "Twenty years ago, Bahar entrusted you to me when you were still in your infancy. Naturally, I treated my brother's child as my own, and I also told Bahar not to show up again or say a word to you. But I never thought that he would break his promise. Maybe he had no selfish motives more than ten years ago, but this time he allowed the Yanqi people to pretend to be Xi Xi, and he told you this secret without telling me. This means... he had a purpose in leading you to Yanqi Village this time!"

Long Qi said, "Aunt, what you mean is that he used my biological mother as bait to lure me to Yanqi Village. His purpose is not simple?"

Madam Xiang wiped the tears from her face with a piece of silk, "After all, Bahar has secretly protected you for many years, so I'm sure he won't harm you, but you still have to be careful."

She looked at his features and found that the boy was tall, handsome, and looked more and more like the majestic brother. She was in a trance for a moment, "Now that things have come to this, you can go and find the answer, but just be careful."

Long Qi nodded and said, "My aunt is the same, to prevent the Yanqi people from cheating again."

Madam Xiang smiled and said, "Not anymore."

Madam Xiang did not move until Long Qi had left for a long time.

She had a splitting headache and was exhausted, so she was finally helped out of the room by her maid.

……

In Prince Xian’s Palace…

Li Xixiao secretly returned to the mansion and tried to conceal what happened that night, but the steward who opened the door was so excited when he saw her that he didn't notice how embarrassed she was, and quickly called the maid on duty to send her back to the courtyard.

The steward was old and was filled with emotion. After a while, he ran to the inner courtyard, saying that he wanted to personally talk to His Highness about the princess's return home.

She raised her eyes to look at the still gloomy sky and said, "Don't disturb Fourth Uncle..."

I couldn't hear what the manager said in the distance.

She had no choice but to go back to the yard first.

The maids in the courtyard were also very surprised when they saw her. Seeing that she was wearing loose and baggy men's clothes, they immediately found her favorite clothes and helped her change.

She looked listless, and felt a little tired after tossing and turning all day and night. She fell asleep on the bed before dawn.

She did not wake up until noon the next day. When she opened her eyes, she found a group of maids surrounding her bed. When they saw she woke up, they immediately started to busy around.

It was as if a paralytic had just woken up, and they all cared about him, feeding him water, supporting him, and wiping him...

"Okay." Li Xi frowned, and everyone tactfully kept silent and stopped their actions. She immediately asked the nearest maid, "Has Fourth Uncle been here?"

The maid said truthfully: "His Highness came as soon as possible, and when he found out you were still sleeping, he returned."

It seems that her sudden disappearance after leaving the mansion really frightened Fourth Uncle.

"Princess, you may not know that His Royal Highness Prince Xian was extremely worried and turned the whole market upside down but still couldn't find you." Another maid also said hesitantly.
