The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Bahar leaned forward and sighed, "Don't blame me, my dear. They are also forced to do so. In the blink of an eye, a few decades have passed. There are fewer and fewer Yanqi people here. Their greatest wish is to get rid of the strange poison in their bodies."

Then he said something to them, his tone serious and irresistible.

After hearing this, the Yanqi people in the cave hesitated for a while, then they got up from the ground one after another, sobbing and leaving.

Bahar looked towards Long Qi. In the candlelight, there seemed to be a slight ripple in his eyes, but strangely, he still remained silent.

Seeing that he was about to leave, she called out to him, "Wait a minute, my dear. It won't be too late to leave after you finish reading this."

Bahar held up the torch and looked up at the stone wall.

Under the light of the torches, a series of pictures that kept switching back and forth like a kaleidoscope of images appeared on the stone wall. It was obvious that they had been carved for some years and some yellow moss had grown on them.

He picked up a wooden stick beside him and explained while he was clearing the dirt.

Long Qi looked over of his own accord.

The first scene depicts a woman throwing poison into a well. The second scene shows people drinking the well water and getting the plague, with blood blisters and rashes on their faces and bodies.

In the third scene, the woman ran away with a big belly and was caught by soldiers in armor.

In the fourth scene, the soldiers led a group of people infected with the plague and tied up the woman and brought her to the cave.

In the fifth act, after the village was built, the woman gave birth to a child in a cage.

In the sixth scene, the soldier takes the child to the mansion of the noble official and carries away boxes of royal treasures.

Act 7…Act 8…

"The portrait ends here, but the story doesn't end here..." After Bahar finished removing the moss, he continued leisurely:

"The woman who poisoned the country was originally a Tang princess. After marrying the late king, she became the late king's favorite queen. Soon, the country became increasingly decadent. Many Yanqi people believed that she was a spy sent by the Tang Dynasty and the Uighurs, just to destroy Yanqi and occupy Yanqi's territory! Yanqi became a vassal state of the Uighurs. The Xiagas defeated the Uighurs and drove them to Yanqi. When the Uighurs broke into the territory, the queen had already poisoned the well, causing the late king to be killed without any preparation. Even if she had not participated in the defeat of Yanqi, she could not easily get rid of suspicion. If she retires after achieving her goal, I, as an old general of Yanqi, will be loyal to the country and hate evil as an enemy, so I will not agree!"

"So she was locked up in the cellar of this village, just to let her tell me the antidote one day... But for decades, she hasn't said a word about the antidote! Those Yanqi people who were murdered by her have been immersed in pain for decades. The poison is like a curse. As long as it can't be cured, they can't reproduce and live in peace, let alone let her go?"

A gentle breeze blew on Long Qi's face. He placed the hairpin in front of the flickering candle and said clearly, "So you want to tell me that the woman on the stone wall is the owner of this hairpin and my biological mother. And when I saw her, I should naturally stand on the side of the Yanqi people and punish her crimes, right?" Long Qi said concisely, "You went to so much trouble, but in fact, you can cover it in one sentence. I don't know if you overestimated my evil biological mother, or underestimated my ability to understand?"

Words are not enough, and all one-sided statements are just a reference. He has not accepted them, nor has he rejected them. Whether true or false, he is only here to seek the truth, not to take a stand and attack any party.

Naturally, only by standing outside of it can one see from multiple dimensions whether this absurd thing is really as he said. Otherwise, how can one know whether the other party is evading the important issues and giving people preconceived ideas?

Bahar paused for a moment, he had never thought that the descendant of the former king was no ordinary person. In this way, he became a clown. So he bowed his hands for a long time and said, "My lord is smart, I am over-worrying. I am also afraid that my lord does not understand the situation, and I am even more afraid that my lord is in the dark. So naturally, you can judge for yourself, how dare I say anything nonsense."

"only……"

Long Qi allowed him to continue.

"I know you are skeptical, but you have seen the misery of the Yanqi people. They are suffering from poisons and living in pain. How can they be willing to let their descendants continue to suffer? So you must help us! If I, Bahar, tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning!" Bahar knelt down as he said this.

Long Qi held him up with his hand and asked, "If you carefully find someone to pretend to be her child, it would be easier. Now that you have explained so much, I may not cooperate with you. Isn't it a waste of time?"

"My dear, you don't know that if I wanted to find her, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble!" Bahar raised his head with a sincere look, "First of all, she is not that easy to fool! Secondly, my dear, you are the descendant of the former king of Yanqi, so your appearance is naturally different from that of the people in the Central Plains, not to mention the bloodline of the former king. Who can replace you?"

Long Qi understood.

Bahar asked him to leave the cave and invited him back to the village.

On the way, Long Qi asked, "Since she is a spy of the Tang Dynasty in your opinion, why did you still bring her all the way to the Tang Dynasty to seek refuge?"

"I have no need to hide the truth from you, my lord. It's for revenge!" Bahar's old face showed resentment, and he exhaled a breath of turbid air that was hard to let go of. "When I first came to Tang, I wanted to seek refuge with a local vassal king to recuperate, but we were refugees and had a rare sore that no one could cure, so we dared not let the world know our true identity. We had to take a long-term view... Now, in the blink of an eye, dozens of years have passed. In my opinion, the Li Tang's luck will soon run out!"

"..." Long Qi stopped walking, and then he realized that the revenge he was talking about was revenge for the country. The hissing of insects in the wild was clear and deafening, and they seemed to be asking questions.

Bahar seemed to know everything and said, "In my opinion, a vassal king has evil intentions towards Li Tang, and has been eyeing them covetously recently, as if he is holding the emperor hostage to control the princes. Now the situation in the court is bad, and the emperor is cutting off his own flesh to feed the tiger, so I am just watching the fire from the other side of the river."

Bahar smiled and stopped there, remaining secretive about his plans.

Only now did Long Qi fully understand the reason.

What a good way to watch the fire from the other side of the river... The decline of a dynasty and the change of masters are constantly happening in the long river of history. It is all normal, let alone a vassal state. Although he has not entered the government, he has a good understanding of political affairs. If we talk about national hatred, Yanqi's enemies are more likely to be the royal family. It is common for the country to be bullied. I just don't know that someone would blame the decline of the royal family on a woman.

In his opinion, even if his biological mother had married Yanqi and had not poisoned him, Yanqi would still be in its current situation.

He didn't say what was in his mind, but just laughed it off. Since they have been so sure about this matter for decades, no one can easily change their minds. The decline of the royal family needs a reason.

The two were almost there when they heard a cry of surprise from afar:

"Don't come over here yet!"

"Ouch, ma'am, how could you throw a stone into my eyes?" - A woman's scream came from a wooden house not far away, interrupting the subsequent conversation between the two.
