The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Inside the room, Li Xiying took out a small jar of wine that he had brewed a few years ago from the cabinet, opened the lid and started drinking.

As the wine went down her throat, she felt a spicy taste that was very enjoyable, and soon her mind began to drift away.

After a while, he was still drunk and collapsed on the small table.

The dream was all white and empty. She walked aimlessly. She didn't know how long she had been walking. It seemed like she would never finish walking. Finally, she woke up while walking.

When I woke up, it was already night.

She stood up, pressed her dizzy forehead, and called out, "Amber."

No one showed up...

She forgot that she was the one who announced the dismissal during the day.

Suddenly, a relieved smile appeared on her lips. Fortunately, they listened to her, otherwise how could she bear to see their smiling faces turning into cold and shapeless corpses on the ground?

Thinking of this, she walked to the door, pushed it open, and looked outside. The round moon in the sky was illuminating the empty courtyard.

At this time of day in the past, the maids would still be chatting and laughing, admiring the moon, joking around, or gathering together to have a midnight snack and listen to the doorman tell them some new and interesting stories from outside.

But now, no one lights lamps or candles, and the whole village is dark, like a lifeless no-man's land.

She turned around and took out a candle from inside the house. The pale, flickering candlelight was only enough to illuminate the area just below her feet.

Suddenly a hurricane arose, and the gravel road under her feet became increasingly difficult to walk on. She felt as if a pair of eyes were watching her in the dark, emitting light as grabbing as that of wild beasts.

She laughed twice, telling the other party to stop being mysterious and just come out!

The wind stopped and the candles were lit, the moonlight became more and more dazzling. She could not help but turn around and look up - all kinds of corpses were hanging under the eaves of the whole village.

Grandma, amber, tortoise shell, agate, Ah Wu, pearl...

A crazy figure appeared from under the corpse, laughing crazily.

She was stunned for a long while, as if a blunt knife was stabbing her heart. She clearly... clearly let them leave!

She looked at the evil thief in front of her whose face was obscured by the night mist, drew out the dagger from her body, and walked towards him step by step with her eyes as red as blood.

Halfway through her walk, she paused.

Li Yu's face flushed as he struggled with his hands and feet, but was strangled by the evil thief. His feet left the ground, his whole body wilted, and he looked like he was dying.

Instead, she calmed down, thought for a moment, and suddenly laughed.

It’s all a dream!

It's all fake!

Li Xixiao woke up suddenly, sat up with her heart pounding, and then she realized that she was really in a dream.

Amber came over from outside, brought a glass of water, and gently stroked her back. "Princess, you had a nightmare. Drink some water to calm down."

Daimao sighed twice and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Like Amber, no matter how hard she tried to hide it, she still couldn't change the fact that her whole body and mind were shrouded in gray, so she didn't tell her about the dream.

When Li Xixiao stretched out her hand, the beads on her wrist suddenly broke, and some of them fell off the couch and rolled everywhere.

Amber was also stunned. Afraid that the princess would think too much, she picked up the cinnabar on the ground and said, "It seems that the quality of this bead necklace is poor. It broke after only two days of wearing it!"

Li Xiying then drank some water to quench her thirst, then looked at them and asked, "Why don't you take the money and leave?"

The two of them seemed a little uneasy and didn't say anything. They just lowered their heads and were silent for a long while.

When she was about to speak again, they choked up and told the truth: "Yesterday, those maids and servants who received the money and left the village were all shot to death by arrows flying from the dark before they could walk a few feet."

"The scary thing is that some villagers passing by couldn't escape the disaster because they didn't have time to react." As they said these words, their faces became more and more horrified.

"Those bodies also disappeared out of thin air not long after. I guess... I guess someone dealt with them in time, and didn't alert the authorities at all."

Li Xiying seemed to be able to imagine how horrifying the bloody scene was at that time.

She couldn't stop her lips from trembling as she asked, "How many people are still alive?"

Grandma came in from outside the door, brought a small booklet, handed it to her, and sighed, "Including the guards, there were originally more than 30 people in the manor. More than 20 people left yesterday, all died tragically outside the manor... and there are only six people left in the manor, including me."

Li Xi looked at the names that were crossed out. They were all living lives. She thought that dismissing them would save them from disaster, but she didn't expect...

Amber looked at the booklet and immediately thought of Xu Ba, but she didn't see his name on it. She then asked, "Grandma, why isn't Doctor Xu's name on it?"

Li Xiqi also read the whole thing quickly and found that there was no one there, so he asked where the man had gone.

Grandma then remembered and said, "He hasn't been in the village these days."

"Because I often suffer from unbearable pain in my legs when they are cold, I asked Xu Ba for a prescription a few days ago. Xu Ba said that my legs need continuous acupuncture treatment and taking herbs to have a chance of recovery. But one of the herbs is out of stock in the Luoyang pharmacy. He said...someone saw that herb near Yanqi Village and left."

Li Xixuan sighed softly, fortunately he escaped the disaster.

She looked at the elderly grandma in front of her, the maids with sad faces, and Awu standing outside the door, and she felt more and more uncomfortable.

If Wu doesn't leave because he has nowhere to go, then what about them?

Amber, tortoise and agate, although they have no parents or relatives, they are not without places to go. With their talents and looks, they can definitely go to other mansions to make a living. Even if they don't work as maids, at least they can find other ways out.

They saw through Li Xi's thoughts. Manju stepped forward and said, "We are not the cowardly ones. We are willing to go forward and backward with the princess. If you want us to leave, we don't know where to go! So the princess doesn't need to be too sad or blame herself. The hateful one is the evil villain hiding in the dark!"

Although Daimao was scared, he nodded and opened his mouth. However, due to the stimulation of the past few days, he was in a daze and didn't say anything.

Amber's eyes were filled with tears as she replied, "If it weren't for the princess, I would have been a wandering ghost. So wherever the princess is, I will be there. If there is any danger, I will be the first to protect the princess."

Li Xizhen suddenly looked at her with a solemn expression and said helplessly, "Why are you so stupid? Is your life not a life?"

But after saying this, she felt that she had said something redundant. If they had not risked their lives to stay, they would have become wild souls outside the village...

At this time, a voice came from outside the door.

It turned out that Zhenzhu had brought food from outside. She asked Manju and others to go to the kitchen to get the dishes. Then she smiled at Li Xi and said, "No matter what, as long as we are alive, eating is the most important thing! I made the princess' favorite food. Why don't you eat first and then think about how to fight against the evil villain outside?"

Pearl has always been an optimistic person. Her smile is just right and makes people feel like they are in a spring breeze. In that moment of trance, it seems as if nothing had happened.

The food and dishes were placed on the table, and the aroma was everywhere.
