The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

"Do you want to replace the mistress of the prime minister's mansion?" He turned to look into her eyes, as if trying to find a clue from them.

In the darkness, Li Xi's eyes became colder and colder. She looked around quickly. She had no way to escape being trapped in the corner by him, only half a foot away from him.

He didn't seem to want to hurt her, at least for now, he didn't have any absolute reason to hurt her.

But who in this world would dare to speculate about her like this, dare to be so bold as to trample her self-esteem into the mud and let it be crushed and rolled into a ball?

He just wanted to provoke her, lead her to reveal her true colors, and try to uncover her true face. He felt that she must be hiding a lot of secrets.

She subconsciously grabbed his collar, stood on tiptoe and laughed angrily. With a turn of her eyes and a sneer at the corner of her lips, she pushed his shoulder and turned his position when he dodged, making him lean against the wall.

She stroked his hair with her creamy hands, and said in a joking tone, "You are wrong. I am not very interested in the prime minister, but I am very interested in you!"

She had a graceful and lazy figure, and stared at him calmly along the tip of her nose as if she were looking at her prey.

"You are willing to stay with your aunt, even if you are living under someone else's roof. What kind of identity do you take for granted? Are you doing all this to consolidate your position or do you have a bigger conspiracy? You are very ambitious! Think about it, how can I have the chance to contact the prime minister? What's more, one is Lanzhi and Yushu, who has a bright future, and the other is old and frail, who else can I like if I don't like you?" As she spoke, she put her arms around his neck, the elongated ending of her voice seemed to cover up the sarcasm in her tone, and she leaned close to his shoulder, her eyes like pearls, her teeth like shells, which was dazzling.

His pupils shrank slightly, and just as he was about to push the woman away, he caught a glimpse of her pearly teeth exposed between her lips and the foot that was about to kick out.

He placed his large palm against her forehead and scoffed.

Her kick missed, but she didn't get angry so she just waved his hand away. She turned around and thought to herself that she was too weak. If he really wanted to kill her, she wouldn't even be able to get close to him.

"I don't care what tricks you play. Although I haven't caught you yet, if the mistress's life is in danger, you, who haven't become the prime minister's woman yet, will have to pack up and be buried with her at any time."

There was a strong threat in his words.

Li Xi smiled instead of being angry: "I'm waiting, you'd better investigate it clearly, what if it's not me?"

The suspicion in his eyes disappeared, "That would be better."

"What do you mean by 'it's best'?" Li Xiying sneered, "Who doesn't know how to threaten people? Do you know that it's easy to find excuses to accuse someone of something? If you believe that I did it, I have nothing to say. But if you just blindly imagine that I am the murderer and neglect to track down the real murderer, resulting in irreversible consequences, is that still the best?"

She eagerly awaited his words, trying to dispel his doubts with every word.

"This is none of your business."

She raised her eyebrows and stood up. She walked to his side and looked at him for a while before saying, "Oh, you said I shouldn't have cared this time. If I hadn't been involved, then you could have said that. But now that you've locked me up here and are confronting me as if it were your fault, then you've lost the right to say that! Did I accidentally expose your thoughts by saying a few words to the point?"

The corners of her lips curved, and she glanced at him, "I think your purpose is just to control me, not to solve the problem. Otherwise, you just need to check what the lady eats and all the suspicious people she contacts. After checking them one by one, I think it won't take long to find out. Why do you need to talk nonsense with me here?"

"Are you teaching me how to do things? You are so sharp-tongued." He said lightly, obviously unable to say anything in response after being refuted.

Seeing that he was indifferent and about to leave, she stopped him and said, "Let's make a bet. If the result has nothing to do with me, then for every few minutes you lock me up, I will hang you upside down on the beam for a few days. This punishment is called "confusing right and wrong". Do you dare?"

It turns out that the Prime Minister's wife was only poisoned, and it must not be a fatal poison, otherwise it would not be as simple as locking her up. She is a princess, and the worst that could happen is that her identity would be exposed, but if they just waste time on the investigation, the Prime Minister's wife's life would be in danger.

So she was sure that the lady was fine, and it should be easy for the Prime Minister's Office to investigate the person who poisoned her.

His expression remained indifferent. He knew that she was making innuendos and sarcasm at the moment, so he ignored her.

Li Xiying: "Why, you don't dare? Where is your confidence in questioning me just now?"

She continued to add fuel to the fire. "I've been locked up here, how can I have so little confidence in myself?" She dusted off the dust on her body, found a carpeted spot to dust herself off, and sat down gracefully. "I'm waiting here for you to find out the truth. I hope the result won't make me think you're a fool who is lying and shirking his responsibilities."

He glanced at her. Those eyes were clear, open and fearless. He would be in the wrong whether he answered or not.

On the other hand, she is also proving her innocence in disguise.

Li Xi stood still like a mountain, observing the changes in his expression.

"Whatever." After saying that, it opened the door and went out.

In any case, time will tell.

In an instant, the room was brightly lit, and as the door was closed, the whole room became as dark as night in an instant.

"Whatever? She is a princess of a country, she can't just let it go!"

Suddenly the door opened wide and Shanluo was pushed in. The next moment, there was a bang, blocking out all the light.

"My lady, are you okay?" Shan Luo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Xixiu was intact.

Li Xiying shook her head. Although she was worried about her own safety, her expression seemed to be more mixed with fear, but she was trying her best to hide this emotion.

"I'm sorry for getting you into trouble." Li Xiying patted her shoulder and said firmly, "But it's okay. We won't stay here for long. You don't have to be afraid."

Shan Luo said: "You didn't cause me any trouble. I asked to stay with you myself."

Li Xixiao understood in her heart, after all, she followed him just to get a roof over her head, but who knew that she was already homeless and now had given others a handle to use against her. She was in an awkward situation, so where else could she go if she didn't follow him and be locked up.

She was not in a hurry to comfort her. Shanluo had just arrived at the mansion and no one had explained her situation to her, so it was normal for her to think whatever she wanted.

There was a faint smell of hay in the air, and there was some sundries and hay piled in a corner, but even so, it was often cleaned so there was no dust.

She observed everything in the room and found a lattice window on the side with a gauze covering the center. The position where she was sitting was exactly in the middle of the room, and a faint light came in and caught her eye.

She walked straight to the window, and Shanluo followed her, watching her open the window and observe the movements around her.

It seemed that the man thought she was a woman and would not escape easily, so he did not keep a close watch on her. The window was wide open, but there was no one inside.

"Well, you wait here for me, I'll go and spy on you..."

Shan Luo nodded blankly, watching Li Xiying move a wooden saddle from the storage area, use it to easily climb up to the window, and jump down without hesitation by climbing the window edge.

The tail of the clothes brushed against the windowsill, bringing a breeze that made Shan Luo come back to her senses. She grabbed the corner of Li Xi's sleeve that was about to slip away and begged, "Let me go too."

Li Xiying whispered, "No, if I can't get out of this unscathed, you should just sever ties with me and leave. If you follow me, how can I get away and protect you?"

Shanluo hesitated and let go of her hand, watching her evasive figure leaving with a gloomy look.
