The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Chapter 44 Who is peeking outside the door?

Li Xi said, "I wrote a letter home, asking them not to worry. I will go to the coach and horse shop tomorrow. I paid for the trip back to Luoyang a few days ago. I plan to hide my identity and live in seclusion for a few months before making any plans."

"But you are a woman, what if you meet a bad guy on the road?"

"How can I be so unlucky? If that's the case, I can just spend money to avoid the disaster. Although my family is not rich, we are not short of money to save our lives."

"So we will be separated tomorrow?" Shan Luo's eyes turned red when he said this. He didn't know how many separations he would have to go through in life, and he couldn't help feeling sad.

Li Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, took her hand and said, "If I am settled, I will visit you often. Maybe I can bring you with me. If you are willing, you can follow me."

"Uh-huh!"……

As it got darker, the two turned off the lights, covered themselves with quilts and prepared to go to bed.

At this time, the sound of a pipa was heard. Although the sound of the strings was melodious, the timbre was inexplicably strange.

Perhaps the person playing the music realized that it sounded unpleasant and stopped.

After a while it bounced up again.

After her ears were tortured for a few minutes, Li Xiying finally got out of bed, put on her shoes, and went out to follow the sound of the pipa.

Shanluo fell asleep heartlessly to the unpleasant string music.

It was raining outside, and the night wind was blowing coldly on my face.

The door was half open and the candle was brightly lit.

The beauty was kneeling, holding a pipa and plucking the strings with the plectrum, and waves of music were emitted wherever her fingertips passed.

On the couch was a man with a fair and gentle face, wearing a brocade-patterned inner garment. He closed his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and listened, occasionally tapping his knees.

He must have never heard the truly beautiful sound of a five-string pipa, which is why he is ruining people's ears without even realizing it.

Her grandmother had worked in the palace since she was young, and had served the late emperor for many years. She had witnessed the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and had many skills. She lived with her in the villa when she was old, and never missed the teachers who taught her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. When she was ten years old, she wanted to learn the pipa, but due to the war, the sound played by the pipa had a sense of sorrow and joy, so her grandmother came to teach her in person.

She said that there are many people who can play the pipa, but few who can tune it. Some people don't even know how to appreciate the sound of the pipa but pretend to appreciate it, or say that the sound of the pipa is just so-so.

Only those who have heard it know that it is not easy to play the pipa well, and it is even more difficult to play it beautifully! That is why Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing" can make people want to be intoxicated by it.

"Boom..."

The strings broke, making a harsh sound.

Before the song was over, the pipa's strings broke, and the two of them lost interest in the music instantly.

The man on the couch had a handsome face, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and he clapped his hands and got off the bed, "Xing'er's pipa music is really beautiful, you are not allowed to play it again next time."

The beauty blushed, "Why?"

The man took the woman's delicate hand and pressed the small cut made by the broken string to his lips. The blood stained the edge of his lips. "I feel bad."

Li Xi's hair stood on end immediately, he covered his ears and was about to leave.

"What are you peeking at?" Along with the rustling of footsteps, a clear voice suddenly floated into my ears from somewhere in the darkness.

When Li Xiying heard someone, she put down the hand by her ear and turned around, and suddenly bumped into the person's chest. The voice seemed not close, but suddenly it was very close, and she reacted immediately.

When she looked up and saw the face clearly, her eyes and eyebrows were full of displeasure, "How could you follow me quietly?"

I'm so bored that I'm anxious. How cunning does he have to be to always try to find something to hold against her?

The drizzle floated on his face, and a layer of mist covered his eyebrows and eyes. "I was just passing by, and saw you sneaking over to take a look."

Li Xiying glanced at him and said, "It seems that the sneaky people in the mansion have not escaped your eyes. Did you hear someone playing the pipa? Do you think it sounds good?"

He glanced at her without commenting.

Seeing that he didn't deny it, she asked again: "Can I still listen to such a weird and unpleasant tune with an intoxicated look on my face? I can't say anything when I hear an unpleasant tune in a melon field or a plum tree, but at least you can remind me not to disturb others' sweet dreams, right?"

"Then why don't you go in and remind them?" Long Qi said.

Listening to the laughter in the room, "What do you think?" She paused, "Besides, the pipa strings are broken, why bother with this."

"Sharp teeth and sharp mouths!"

She snorted and retorted, "I think you are really sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. It would be a pity if you didn't become a spy."

"Who's peeking outside the door?" At this time, a third voice came from the room.

The person inside the door seemed to hear the noise outside and wanted to come out to check.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, the man in the mansion and the girl teamed up to peek at the joy of a man's boudoir, tsk tsk...

With a creak, the door was pushed open instantly.

The man who came out looked around and saw no one. The woman behind him turned her eyes and saw that there was not even a ghost outside. She rushed forward, hugged his waist, and whispered twice: "My dear.

The man turned around and hugged her back, with the warm fragrance in his arms. The door was closed in an instant, and the candle was extinguished almost the next moment.

Li Xixiao looked at it with a curious look. The room was already dark. The man next to him said coldly: "It seems that you often do this kind of thing?"

"What do you mean often?" She turned her head and met his eyes.

The two of them stood on the slippery roof in the dark night, with raindrops falling from the sky.

Long Qi had used some Qinggong because he was in a hurry just now, and now he was still holding her waist. Li Xiying was afraid of falling, so she tightly grasped the clothes on his chest.

"Do you peek often?"

Li Xiying didn't care how he looked at her. The more she explained, the more he would look down on her, so she said, "So, you also peeked just now. Same here."

He felt her breath gushing out from her Adam's apple, with a faint hint of fragrance.

Long Qi's eyes were full of exploration. "I saw that you and Cui Silang got along well today."

His tone was ambiguous, and his breath was hot on my face.

They could clearly feel each other's breathing and heartbeat. She suddenly let go of his hand.

Looking down at the ground, it's really high, there are a lot of stones on the ground, and the road is rugged. If you fall down, your head will probably be smashed.

Li Xixiao thought he was looking for trouble and wanted to humiliate her, so she didn't fall for it. She smiled and said, "Let me go first, we can talk."

"Can't you go down by yourself?" he asked lightly, and then he let go of his arms as he felt them get cold.

She opened her eyes wide, "I'll go down by myself? You brought me up here, why can't you take me down with you?"

"You were quite skilled when you asked someone to steal the painting that day, but it was stolen in the blink of an eye, without even letting anyone see your face."

Li Xi was so angry that her liver hurt. She forced out the words through her teeth, "Didn't you find the flaw in your words?"

He looked out at his own residence and straightened his clothes.

She was afraid that he would jump and run away, so she continued, "Look how stingy you are. Okay, okay, I'll admit that I stole the painting, okay? I'll buy you some authentic paintings by famous people in a few days, okay?"

He turned and looked at her with a suspicious look on his face, as if he was very dissatisfied with her answer, "No need."

Seeing that he was unmoved, she continued, "You don't have to regard me as your enemy. I'm leaving tomorrow. The horse poisoning incident a few days ago has been completely exposed today. It has nothing to do with me. Cui Silang can testify for me."

As she spoke, she looked at him with suspicion, just as intriguing as the way he had looked at her.

"But yesterday you locked me in a dark room for a full hour, and you promised at the time that you would hang me upside down from the beam for as long as I was locked up. I wonder if a man like you would deny it?"
