The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

"No...I didn't." The middle-aged man was still defending himself.

But no one would listen to his excuses anymore. Several yamen runners tied his hands and pushed the man away.

"Who are you to the murderer?" The bailiff asked Li Xiying after ordering his men to dispose of the old lady's body and inspecting the scene.

She was concerned about how they would deal with the body, so she asked: "Where will you send the old man's body? Will it be buried properly?"

He didn't know why he got annoyed, and asked impatiently, "Are you telling me how to do my job?"

Li Xiying tried hard to control her temper. She just wanted to go to the scene without saying anything about the great "official authority".

"Digging the soil and digging the pit requires the brothers' efforts. If you are willing to pay, it is not impossible." The bad man surveyed the house and found that the house was a bit shabby. He was wondering why this woman had been following him. He glanced at the thing in her hand with his peripheral vision and couldn't help but feel a little curious.

She clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

Just as she was about to speak, he sneered, "Forget it, stop being an eyesore. For the sake of this house, I will order my men to bury you in a good place."

"House?" Li Xiying didn't understand what it meant.

"This is none of your business. Who are you? Do you have any relationship with this family? If not, just leave quickly and don't get in the way!" His tone was not good. Thinking that she would leave quickly, he focused his gaze from the wall to the roof.

There was a leak in the roof of the main room and some of the wood had fallen off.

"I... am a resident of Anyifang. I am good friends with the granddaughter of that old lady. I wanted to visit her, but she said she had been sold by that beast. If you can find out which brothel the woman named 'Shan Luo' was sold to, I will thank you." This was the first time Li Xiqi lied. He learned the name Shan Luo from the beast. If he hadn't been restricted by his identity, why would he need to lower himself to ask for help from a bad guy?

He never looked at Li Xiying directly from beginning to end, but glanced at the furnishings in the room with a look of disgust on his face. No one knew what he was thinking.

Some people are both good and evil. They can be righteous, but they can also bully the people and plunder their wealth. This kind of thing is common in ancient books.

When he heard that she was from Anyifang, his disdain grew, "We are all poor people, what can you give us to thank us?" He was willing to move his eyes away from the house and looked her up and down, with a hint of amazement in his eyes.

He had seen all kinds of women in all his years as a police officer, but he had never seen a woman so stunning that he could not take his eyes off her.

Li Xiying didn't say anything more. She was once a princess, admired by everyone, but now her status is so different from that. Who would pay attention to her?

"Investigate... It's not that I can't investigate, but, what benefit are you going to give me?" This woman is so beautiful that no one can compare to her. She even has an air of nobility. It is the first time in my life that I have seen a woman with such temperament in the suburbs. It is no exaggeration to say that she makes him more distracted than this house.

Was he blind just now? All he could see was this shabby house, and there were only two people in the house...

Li Xiying felt that his eyes were getting weirder and weirder. She felt offended, but couldn't get angry, so she followed up the conversation and said, "What benefit do you want? As long as it's not too much."

The bad man walked closer and was even more shocked. The little face was flawless, and her skin was white and clear, as if she was not of this world.

He swallowed his saliva and his voice changed. "Since the woman is in the brothel, why are you asking about her? Do you want to redeem her?"

Li Xizhen didn't want to explain so much to him, and it was reasonable for her not to help. She said coldly: "Never mind, I just have a question, how are you going to deal with the murderer who killed her mother?"

This time he answered patiently: "Of course I will hand it over to the government. According to Tang law, he cannot escape the death penalty."

That's good. If this beast is given a light sentence, it would be unfair to the life that just passed away!

At first, the Bad Man asked her to leave but she refused. Now, when she wanted to leave, the Bad Man stopped her and said, "Which family in Anyifang are you from? I want to go to your house to propose marriage."

Li Xiying didn't say anything, her cold and distant look was her answer.

The bad guy was not annoyed. Although he had lived for more than thirty years and already had a wife and children, and had several absolutely beautiful mistresses in brothels, it was not easy to get such a beauty who was born in a poor family!

He watched Li Xiying's back as she left, but did not try to take her away by force. He would go to Anyifang and ask around to find out which family she lived in. Then he would ask a few brothers for help and spend some money to take her away "openly".

After Li Xixiao came out, she found that the rain had stopped. The ground was wet, and the rain water on the soles of her shoes surged from the sides and soaked the delicate embroidered uppers. Her feet were suddenly cold to the bone.

Even though the clouds have cleared and the fog has dissipated, even though the sun is shining on my face, I don't feel warm.

From rescuing three little girls from human traffickers to witnessing an old man go from near death to death in just a moment, what happened in the past two days seemed to tell her that this world is dangerous and evil, and not as safe as the village.

But there is no complete safety in the world. It's just that Grandpa holds up everything, covers up the dark side, and provides a safe and comfortable area for myself. If I continue to accept it with peace of mind, it would be tantamount to ignoring Grandpa's difficulties and embarrassment. She has the title of princess, but in fact she is just a useless burden!

He calmed himself down again, looked at the bustling crowd, the endless coming and going of carriages and horses, opened the handkerchief in his palm, and a piece of black jade suddenly appeared before his eyes, translucent as fat, and judging from the craftsmanship, it was probably a hundred years old.

I walked towards the East Market unknowingly, thinking that brothels are generally shops and should be located in the so-called downtown area.

At a corner behind her, a pair of eyes kept...following her.

There are many court affairs in the Daming Palace. The emperor is busy with official duties and exhausted. In addition, Tang Xing escaped from the palace last night, so he has never felt relieved.

Inside the Purple Palace, a man in a scarlet and yellow dragon robe and a man in a black robe were sitting opposite each other. A palace servant beside them was kneeling on the ground with his head bent, brewing tea. The two men could be seen talking solemnly at the table.

"Brother, are you saying that Xi Xuan left the Daming Palace?" Li Xuan couldn't believe it.

"She has been free and easy since she was young, and she is also a person who respects her inner heart. I asked her to get married, but she refused. Now she is alone with a maid, and I don't know where she has gone." Li Ye lifted his sleeves, and the waiter served the freshly brewed tea on the table. He drank a sip while it was hot and exhaled hot air, not knowing whether he was sighing for Tang Xing or because the tea was too hot.

"Brother, why don't you send the imperial guards to find her? This girl has been willful in the farm and has only returned to the palace once in several years. How can she understand your brother's painstaking efforts? When you find her back, have a good talk with her." Although Li Xuan's tone was urgent, he did not really blame Tang Xing. It sounded like he was trying to comfort the emperor.

Speaking of this niece, she is the luckiest among the nieces. Now that she has escaped from the palace, the emperor's uncle is inexplicably worried rather than angry.

The emperor said helplessly: "No, if we alert the enemy and alert King Liang, it will be disadvantageous to Xi Xuan."

"So what does brother mean?" Li Zhen obviously knew what to do, but he just didn't know if it would work.

"You go find her in person and make sure to bring Xi Xi back safely! I won't force her to choose a prince consort. As long as the person is safe, that's all that matters." The emperor raised the teacup in front of him again, took a sip and tasted a little salty. Before the sweetness returned, he drank the rest of the tea in one gulp, as if swallowing all his helplessness into his stomach along with the tea.
