The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Hearing this, Long Qi felt relieved to stay. He was about to pick up the pot to pour water, but the pot was completely cold.

Just at this time, the prime minister's wife also came in, followed by a few maids, who came with things in their hands.

When the lady came, she saw Long Qi trying to pour water, so she said in surprise: "Aqi, the water is cold, you can't pour it for her to drink!"

Hearing this, Long Qi put down the pot, bowed and called his aunt. His aunt looked at the wound on his forehead and was stunned, "Why did you remove the gauze?"

She immediately drove him out on the pretext of asking him to bandage his wounds, saying that wounds would easily leave scars if not properly treated, and that he was not needed here and that her aunt was enough.

He didn't understand what was going on, so he was driven out of the door in a daze. He stood outside in a daze, watching the door and windows close tightly.

Suddenly, someone raised his hand and put it on his shoulder, saying, "How come the princess's benefactor is still being turned away?"

Long Qi turned around and saw Erlang passing by and came to mock him. He just laughed it off and left with Erlang and walked somewhere else.

Cui Erlang added, "Mother treats her like a relative. Although she didn't know her identity earlier, she still promised you a marriage. This time you were injured and it was not easy to save her, but you can't let her leave so easily. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find someone who can make your heart flutter like this again."

Long Qi said unconcernedly, "Brother Erlang, you said it so lightly, but you don't know that feelings are as fleeting as taking something from a distance. She is a person, not an object. How can I tie her up or grab her just because I want to?"

Cui Erlang was surprised, and after thinking for a while, he said, "What you said is not without reason, but 'human beings are not plants or trees, how can they be heartless?' If she is not moved by this, then she must be made of plants and trees, isn't she?"

Erlang suddenly couldn't help laughing again, and he laughed twice before saying, "Qilang is handsome, considerate, and willing to protect him at the cost of her life. Why can't she be willing to do so, and have the heart to let you do the bare minimum?"

Long Qi didn't mind at all, and analyzed from her perspective: "Just imagine, the father died, the brother was in danger, the country was destroyed, the family was ruined, how could the love between the children be enough to be talked about."

A cool breeze blew gently. Erlang was silent for a while after hearing this, and then he persuaded her: "Even though it is so, how can an egg remain intact when the nest is overturned? The past dynasties have been changing and the old has been changing. I am not saying this to disrespect her status, but the last generation of the royal family has never had a good ending. If the Li Tang forces are completely destroyed by then, I am afraid that it will be too late to rescue her!"

"What does Erlang mean?" Although Long Qi asked with a frown on his face, he had already thought about this problem. It's just that he didn't help with the national hatred and family feud, so how could he have the right to stop it? He could only protect her silently, even if it meant dying first.

Cui Erlang smiled again, "I know you want to persuade her and don't want to see her disappointed, but the situation is different now. You know it's an abyss but don't stop; you know the building will collapse but try to save it... In fact, it's just like an ant trying to shake a tree, or an egg hitting a stone. Do you want to watch her fall into the endless abyss, or let the collapsed building bury her? Li Tang is already in decline, and she has made efforts, but if she persists, she will eventually lose her life... There is no point in talking too much, do you understand?"

After Cui Erlang finished speaking, he looked around and thought: After all, if I can persuade as many people as possible to be saved, then that is a good thing. Qilang is so affectionate, and if I let this continue, I am afraid that he may lose his life, which will make his mother sad, and she will have to bear the loss of her child again.

inside the house.

Li Xiying packed up everything and was urged to drink several mouthfuls of warm, blood-activating soup. The prime minister's wife also handed her the hot water bottle she had brought to warm her stomach.

A maid cleaned up the stains on the bed, and the prime minister's wife put a cushion and a pillow on the chair, so that Li Xixiao could sit without feeling cold, which made her feel much more comfortable.

Madam Xiang was relieved to see that her cheeks had finally regained some color. She reached out to stroke the hair by her ears but stopped in a hurry.

Li Xixiao saw that the prime minister's wife was embarrassed and nodded to thank her.

The prime minister's wife also shook her head and lowered her head, her eyes dim, "Before, I was a sinner and stupid, and I treated the princess as my youngest child. Now, as the wife of a sinner, I have no face to face the princess."

"Why do you say that?" Li Xi thought, he was fine last time in the mountain stronghold, why is he so worried now? But everyone is saying, 'Prime Minister Cui trusted Zhu Wen and let the wolf into the house, he deserves to die!'

Perhaps it was because of Zhu Wen's behavior this time that the prime minister's wife felt guilty for the deceased prime minister?

Then he said disapprovingly, "He is him, you are you. As the saying goes, one's family members should not be guilty of any crime. I have never thought that you are guilty. The lady was kind to me and treated me like a relative before, which was understandable. You should do what you should do, and don't feel indebted."

Mrs. Xiang's eyes were filled with tears, but she could only smile happily.

Li Xi looked out the half-open window, but the scenery was not familiar, so she asked the question in her heart: "Madam, is this still Luoyang?"

Madam Xiang wiped away her tears quietly and said, "Since the princess rescued me from the mountain stronghold, I have been lingering on in a corner. Fortunately, Aqi found my son Erlang. When Erlang was doing business, he heard the news of the relocation of the capital in Chang'an and the turmoil, so he came back and settled in Luoyang. When he heard about me, he brought me here. I later learned that the princess was deeply trapped in the palace. I was afraid that Zhu Wen would do something bad to you, so he ordered Aqi to protect you. What did Aqi say? He had been alone for a long time and found some way to sneak into the palace and risked his life to protect you. If Zhu Wen hadn't discovered the princess's identity yesterday, he would never force you to give up all your efforts. He was really helpless at that time."

Li Xixuan understood what the prime minister's wife meant. On the one hand, it meant that this was Erlang's mansion in Luoyang. On the other hand, she used this incident to bring up the following topic, hinting at the danger of yesterday.

What she meant was that she was afraid that Li Xiqi would wrongly blame Long Qi for ruining her plans, so she took this opportunity to explain for him.

She couldn't help but wave her hands and smiled, "The situation was critical at the time. He saved me from danger and was injured because of me. If I blame him, wouldn't that be turning the tables? I can only blame myself for underestimating that Zhu thief and overestimating myself..."

Li Xiying was very clear about the situation at that time. Her identity was exposed and her brother was captured. She was ready to fight for her life at the critical moment at night.

But she knew how a weak woman could defeat a man who had spent more than half of his life fighting on the battlefield.

Fortunately, Long Qi suddenly arrived and was able to take her out of the Prime Minister's Mansion safely. This was really the best strategy. Otherwise, she would have been doomed. How could she have the right to blame him?

After hearing this, the prime minister's wife felt relieved and said with a sigh, "You have no help inside and no support outside. It is rare for you to achieve such a situation by yourself without involving others. However, Zhu Wen has countless attendants and counselors around him, and there are many people in the palace. You are like a sheep in a tiger's den. It is a blessing to be able to escape unscathed!"

“But now that you’ve come back this time, are you going to go again...?” the lady asked cautiously.

Li Xi was silent for a while, then he closed his eyes slightly and said with relief: "Of course we shouldn't make the same mistake again. We still have to think long-term."

Madam Xiang was so happy when she heard this that she smiled and said, "I thought so too. Let's take a rest for now. If there is anything that needs to be done in the future, let a man like Aqi find a solution."

Li Xiying shook her head. The two of them had nothing to do with each other, but they had an intersection under the circumstances of yin and yang. They shouldn't have been involved too much. Besides, she had already hurt him many times. How could she teach him to think of a solution?

Just as she was about to speak, the maid beside her had already tidied up the bed sheets and quilts, replaced them with new ones, and gathered the old ones and said to the prime minister's wife, "Madam, everything is settled."

The lady told her to leave, and the maid nodded, opened the door and left. As she was opening the door, a servant came in hurriedly and reported:

"Madam, the Second Young Master asked me to come and report that the Third Young Master is back!"
