The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Chu Yiyi had a lot of thoughts in her mind and shook her head, "If you don't go to Luoyang for the time being, I won't go either. This way I'll have a companion by following you." She thought that she wasn't familiar with the place anyway, so it would be better to follow someone she was familiar with.

But after thinking about it, if Li Xiying had her own concerns and was not convenient to take her with her, she could not deliberately pester him, so she added: "Of course, I am willing to accept all arrangements. It's just a small suggestion."

She had thought about Chu Yiyi's suggestion, but it was really unnecessary. If she could reach Luoyang earlier, why should she stay in this village with such harsh conditions?

Even she, who is not very picky, has trouble sleeping at night. Chu Yiyi was once the prime minister's designated daughter-in-law, so her status is naturally not bad, so she should be even more uncomfortable.

"In fact, I will be going back to Luoyang soon. It doesn't matter if you go earlier or later. You can go to my Muyan Villa to get familiar with the environment. My place is surrounded by mountains and water and is quiet. It is very suitable for relaxing and clearing the mind." Li Xiying thought for a while, "You can go with my fourth uncle for the time being, and you can also inform grandma for me. I will go back in a few days!"

To dispel her concerns, Li Xizhen explained softly: "Grandma is here to look after the manor for me. She has watched me grow up and is a kind person. If she knew you were my friend, she would definitely not neglect you easily!"

Chu Yiyi threatened but then stopped. It was obvious that she was not worried about this. She was not afraid of being neglected at all. Since Li Xiying said so, she could only follow his advice.

Then he grabbed her wrist and said, "Take care of yourself!"

"Of course!" Li Xiying patted her hands and said in agreement, "You too, the most important thing is to protect yourself. I don't need to worry."

After hearing this, Chu Yiyi nodded obediently.

After Li Xiying explained the situation to Li Jian, Li Jian also agreed to the responsibility of escorting Chu Yiyi all the way.

After all, before the capital was moved, Chu Yiyi had been living in Prince Xian's mansion. Although they didn't interact much, she had a few words with Wei Yu. Two women in one carriage also provided him with a companion, and he could ride a horse.

Then Li Xiying smiled at Chu Yiyi and said, "Stay with me for a while, you can rest assured."

Chu Yiyi nodded.

Li Xuan gave Li Xiying several packets of medicine and told her, "You will need a few days to get better. Avoid shaking. When you take the medicine, all the meridians in your body will be opened, so avoid the wind. I will send someone to pick you up after you get better in a few days."

At this time, Long Qi also stepped forward and said, "I will escort her back."

Li Xuan looked at the handsome young man in front of him, glanced at him for a while, and said with a smile: "No need, if it weren't for your help a few days ago, I'm afraid we would have difficulty moving, and we have been in Yanqi Village for many days. Thank you very much, there is no need to trouble you for such a small matter. But, these few days, I still trouble you to take care of my niece."

He also knew about Long Qi's affairs. The Prime Minister's family was wiped out, but the Prime Minister's wife also escaped and is in Yanqi Village. He should need to take care of the Prime Minister's wife and should not have the time to take care of his niece's affairs.

But on the other hand, this man cares a lot about his niece, and he might have some improper thoughts about her. For this reason, he should take care of her.

But he was afraid that he would be unruly, so he told him directly that he did not need an escort.

……

A few days after Li Xun left, Bahar returned exhausted, holding in his arms the box he had retrieved from the tomb, which was carefully wrapped in three layers of cloth.

Long Qi knocked on Li Xiying's door and went to his biological mother's house with him.

Bahar opened the cloth on the box, but before he could wipe off the remaining dirt, he quickly found a clean cloth, wiped it, and placed it on the table.

After more than 20 years, the box is still well preserved without any sign of decay.

The box has intricate patterns. It is not only gilded and inlaid with jade, but is also decorated with numerous tortoise shells and rose-colored gemstones all around.

"Open it!" Bahar took a half step back and said solemnly to the Yanqi concubine.

She hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her withered hand, holding the hairpin in her hand for a long time before she was able to align it with the keyhole.

There was only a slight click and the lock opened.

With so many precious treasures piled outside, it stands to reason that such a small box should have been made with great care, but who would have thought that after opening it, it was actually empty.

There was nothing in there, not even a strand of hair.

Bahar was so stunned that he almost dropped his jaw. After half a month of hard journey, all he got was an empty box?

Concubine Yanqi's eyes showed a hint of sarcasm and a hint of "as expected". She pointed and said tremblingly: "Look, what's so good about this? There's nothing at all."

As she said this, she threw away the hairpin with a smile, and suddenly pus and blood oozed out of the corners of her mouth.

Bahar was shocked. Before he could figure out what was going on with the box, Concubine Yanqi vomited so much blood, which made him feel a little scared for no apparent reason.

"what happened?"

Long Qi stared at Bahar, then turned to support Concubine Yanqi, while Li Xiying took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood off her chin.

Li Xixuan felt the pain in Concubine Yanqi's eyes. It did not come from the body, but went straight to the depths of the soul.

Her eyes became sad and dazed, as if an obsession was gradually dissipating.

Li Xiying understood that perhaps she had some fantasies in her mind before opening the box.

I couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for her.

Perhaps she felt that the person she had placed in the most important position in her heart, the person she had gone through all difficulties to marry, had never even given him her true heart.

If she was the only one who took that ridiculous oath seriously from the beginning to the end, and she was the only one who steadfastly adhered to her obsession...

So there was no such thing as a change of heart, only deception. She knew what this meant, and her blood rushed up and she coughed up black blood again.

Bahar was dumbfounded to see that all his efforts day and night for more than ten days were in vain.

Suddenly the room was silent. Although the doors and windows were closed, the sounds of children playing and birds chirping and insects buzzing a mile away could be heard clearly.

Looking at the empty box, Long Qi broke his silence and took a candle to look closely.

After a closer look, he realized that he couldn't jump to a conclusion. There seemed to be a clue inside. When Li Xiying walked closer and took a look, he confirmed this fact.

"There are words carved into the box." Long Qi paused, "It looks like there are also human figures carved into it?"

There was only a dark surface inside the box. Without careful observation, it was difficult to see the concave and convex surfaces on it. When the candlelight flickered, the words and statues could be vaguely seen.

Concubine Yanqi's expression changed slightly. After wiping the blood, she looked at it and saw a few lines of small words.

Even she couldn't tell what it was, but the familiar feeling prompted her to look again, and her brows gradually wrinkled like ripples on the water that could not calm down.

Bahar also leaned over to take a look, his eyes scorching as he pulled his white beard and pondered for a moment: "Obviously this is engraved in reverse. We can make a copy of it and we will definitely be able to see the real words!"

"How to make a rubbing?" Li Xiqi was puzzled. He couldn't just talk about it without practicing.

"I'll come as soon as I go."

Thinking of this, Bahar did not dare to waste time, and he hurried away to prepare the materials needed for rubbing.

Bring some things you need when you are away.

There are charcoal pencils made of willow sticks, a piece of gauze, paper, and water...

He slightly wet the paper and pasted it on the inner surface of the box, then covered it with gauze and gently tapped and pressed the gauze with something. After all this operation, he peeled off the gauze and lightly painted the entire picture with a charcoal pencil, thus leaving the words.

Long Qi took the paper with the calligraphy and painting on it, glanced at Bahar, and handed it to Concubine Yanqi.

She pondered for a moment, then took the paper. Her expression changed slightly, and she no longer glanced at it casually. As her gaze moved, her finger bones trembled, and suddenly her eyes widened slightly, her nose turned red, and tears fell one after another, soaking the paper.

"What's written on it?" Seeing her so excited, Long Qi didn't know what was engraved on the box.

But looking at the back of the paper, it seems to be a portrait of a woman. There is a hairpin with delicate patterns on her bun, which looks very similar to the one she threw on the ground.

He went to pick up the hairpin, and heard her mumbling:

"He... why did he..."

Suddenly, the black blood in her mouth slowly flowed down, as calmly as the decades that passed slowly. She could no longer hold it in and sprayed Bahar in the face. Then she closed her eyes and fainted in an instant.
