The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

"Madam, there is a carriage in front blocking our way. Originally, the lane could accommodate two carriages, but you see there is a big crooked tree next to it, blocking the main road. I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass." The coachman pointed at the carriage and the big tree in front.

Li Xiying looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a carriage that was tilted, as if it was in trouble. A maid and a servant were pushing the carriage with all their might, but a coachman sitting in the front of the carriage could not move the horse at all no matter how hard he whipped it.

And there happened to be a crooked tree blocking the road.

The three people in the carriage over there had silk cloth wrapped around their faces, covering their faces tightly. I don't know if they were afraid of the cold, but they looked difficult to approach. After all, there was a carriage coming from the opposite direction, and they didn't even know how to ask for help.

"Let's go over and help them, otherwise it will be difficult to pass through this narrow road." In order to end the stalemate, Li Xiying planned to go over and lend a hand.

Li Xiying and the coachman got off the carriage and walked closer, only to see that one of the wheels on the left rear side of the other carriage was stuck in a mud pit. The pit was neither too big nor too small, just enough to trap the entire wheel. It was calculated so well that it seemed like it was man-made, but there were no residents around and the hunter's trap could not be set on the road. It would be terrible if there were bandits nearby.

"It looks like the carriage has been stuck in the pit for a short time. The pit is so deep that it will be hard to get it out just by pushing it. It would be better to find a crowbar to push the wheel out." Li Xiying said.

The maid's eyes lit up, as if something had suddenly dawned on them, but then they remembered that there was no crowbar in the car.

A young woman's impatient voice came from the car: "What are you mumbling about? Why don't you push it faster?"

"Miss, it's almost done. We have someone to help us and we can leave soon." After the maid responded to the young lady, she looked around for a crowbar.

After a while, the maid and servant found a thick branch, put one end against the bottom of the wheel, and pressed the middle against a large stone that had been placed in advance on the edge of the mud pit. The servant and the coachman pressed down hard on one end, and the horse used the force to pull the cart out with a neigh.

"The wheel is coming out!" the maid exclaimed.

Their wheels were up, but the mud pit was still there. It was no use leaving it empty, so they said to the driver, "We have to fill this pit. The road is narrow and we will definitely sink if we pass here."

The driver nodded and tried to persuade them to fill the hole together, but they refused because they were in a hurry. The driver had no choice but to go back to the car to find a container and dig soil nearby to fill it.

The owner of the carriage who had escaped from the trap not only did not help, he did not even get off the carriage to thank them. He and his maids and servants got on the carriage and left in a hurry.

Li Xi was puzzled. Who wouldn't hurry? At least saying thank you wouldn't cost them anything. The groom had done his part for them.

The windows of their carriage were blank without any carvings, and the curtains moved in the wind. The moment they were lifted by the wind, Li Xixiao happened to see them, and he could see the young woman in the carriage clearly.

The woman seemed to have noticed something. She turned around and met Li Xi's gaze. Her pupils suddenly widened and she hurriedly closed the curtains.

Li Xi's eyes were filled with astonishment, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

Several girls also came down to help. Seeing Li Xi's dazed look, they couldn't help but care about her, "Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Li Xiying came back to her senses and said, "It's okay."

I'm just amazed that there is such a strange-looking woman in the world.

If you can't get off the car to express your gratitude because of your appearance, I can understand that.

The face just now appeared in my mind again. The cheeks were twisted and cystic, the eyelids and even the eye sockets were irregular, the skin was dark and covered with uneven bumps, just like... jagged rocks. There was also a long scar on the face, as if it was cut by someone.

This……

Li Xi shook her head. It was impossible for a normal person to look like this naturally. Maybe it was deformed in the womb, or maybe she was abused later. Thinking of this, she felt that the woman was really pitiful. She was afraid that even doctors would not be able to treat her.

"Madam, the pit has been filled, let's go." The coachman's voice came from beside her and brought Li Xixi back to her senses from her shock.

The wheels rumbled. In another carriage, a woman belatedly covered her face with a piece of silk and tied it at the back of her head. Her pupils gradually shrank, and she unconsciously tugged at the hem of her red skirt, as if she wanted to crush it. She then asked in a cold voice, "Where did that woman go just now?"

"I guess he is going to Chang'an City." The maid guessed.

The woman opened her red lips slightly: "Look back."

Li Xiying has already arrived in the city.

The city of Chang'an is more desolate than what I had seen when I was a child, but the places where the powerful and wealthy lived or where merchants lived were still bustling, while the markets where ordinary people lived were inevitably depressed.

When we arrived at Anyifang, the sky was cloudy. The sky, which had been clear just a moment ago, was now completely clear and covered with dark clouds, as if it was going to rain at any moment.

A woman in a straw hat and a cloth skirt was asking around for her daughter's whereabouts near the gate. Her eyes were confused, but when she saw the little girl in the carriage, her world seemed to become clear in an instant, and her face was filled with surprise.

"Girl!"

"Where have you been, silly children? And you two, do you know how worried your mother is?" the woman cried, but could not bear to scold them any further.

"But it's good to be back, it's good to be back..."

"Auntie..."

The coachman asked Li Xiying if she wanted to follow the carriage back to the inn, but she refused. Since they had already arrived in the city, there was no need to rush back to the inn.

Judging from the reaction this morning, maybe Grandpa has already assigned someone to look for her. The guesthouse is not safe.

If Amber had returned to the guest house with the letter, she wouldn't have worried.

Looking at the mother and daughter hugging each other, the coachman left in a hurry without staying for long.

Li Xiying watched the children find their families, then turned and left.

Originally, the only valuable gold hairpin on her body was that one. In order to reduce the burden, she did not wear any other jewelry. Now she was penniless and would probably starve.

After Li Xiying left, several girls hugged their mother and cried for a while. After a long time, they seemed to remember something and said to the woman: "Mother, there is a sister who saved us. She bravely fought against the criminals and personally sent us back!"

There was nothing in the direction the girl was pointing.

"Hey, where's that sister?"

As expected, the gloomy sky meant it must be raining. The drizzle fell on her body, making her feel cool. A gust of wind blew by, suddenly turning from light to heavy. Li Xi had no choice but to hide under the eaves to avoid the rain.

The rain was coming fast. The roof had a large eaves, shielding the house from the oncoming rain. Li Xi found a stone under the eaves and sat down.

She stretched out her slender arms, watching the rain dripping from her slender fingertips through her thin palms, as if she had the illusion of returning to the villa.

I still remember that a few years ago, when I followed my grandfather on a secret tour, I was still a little girl under 12 years old at that time. I took the opportunity to travel around and was very interested. By chance, I saw a villa with a beautiful environment surrounded by mountains and water. For a moment, I was willful and unwilling to go back. After much persuasion, my grandfather agreed to buy the villa and make it my own.

From then on, I had a private property.

Thinking of how my grandfather used to be so proud of himself in the court, and how he has now become skinny and haggard, I can't help but feel a little guilty.

Her grandfather had always been very obedient and doting on her, but now he wanted to arrange a prince consort for her despite her objection. She didn't believe that he had no unspeakable secrets.

Suddenly there was a creaking sound beside me and the door opened.
