The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Long Qi looked down at her and asked instead of answering: "Who was that just now? Could it be your fiancé?"

"You want to know so much. Since you saved me this time, I will remember your kindness. Don't worry, I will never appear in front of you again. Let me go, and we will never meet again."

Long Qi sneered and said, "Is the Prime Minister's Mansion a place where you can leave or stay as you wish?"

Li Xiying saw that he seemed to be addicted to investigation. She wanted him to leave but didn't want him to leave, but she was afraid that he had bad intentions if she wanted him to stay.

"When I want to stay, you want me to go, and when I want to go, you want me to stay? You are really weird." She pursed her lips and tiptoed closer with a sarcastic look, and said word by word: "Have you forgotten what kind of woman you said I was last time? I am this kind of woman. You'd better not change your opinion of me, otherwise you will be disappointed."

He looked calm, but there seemed to be a drum beating in his heart, making him look abnormal. "You can go wherever you want. I am just passing by."

In a flash, she was the only one standing on the roof.

She looked at Long Qi's departing figure, a crack seemed to appear on her face, and her red lips pulled into an arc of disappointment. She thought he would hold out for a few rounds, but he was such an incompetent spy.

She lay on the edge of the tile and looked down, but did not see her fourth uncle. Instead, she met Shan Luo's eyes as he looked up at her.

"Ma'am, how are you going to get down?"

Li Xiying also felt embarrassed. She asked this because she saw that guy carried him up and left her on the roof and ran away. She didn't know whether to thank him or blame him. "I don't know. How about you help me find a ladder?"

Shanluo nodded and planned to go find a household to borrow a ladder.

Li Xi stood up out of boredom, the wind blowing across her face slightly cool. Standing high, she could see far, trying to see the road to Luoyang in the distance. The roads outside Chang'an were rugged, winding, and complicated, but they were full of her vision for the future; the crisscrossing streets, the nearby courtyards, and the various courtyards and buildings in Chang'an looked half poor and half prosperous, half desolate and half extravagant.

Looking in the direction of Daming Palace from afar, the sky seemed to be filled with miasma; the bustling market was filled with cars and horses, while the desolate places were still unmaintained.

Grandpa must be very busy in the palace, and she knew she shouldn't cause him trouble, so she wanted to leave completely. Suddenly, a sense of guilt overwhelmed her, and she could only pray secretly that Grandpa would fulfill his wish and revive the national style.

"Madam, Madam..." Shanluo called out several times while lying on the ground.

She took great pains to borrow a ladder from nearby, which was said to be a long ladder used to climb up the roof to fix the leak.

The ladder made a slight sound when it was gently placed on the edge of the eaves, and Li Xiying realized belatedly that she was still on the roof. She rolled her eyes and looked down at Shanluo, who had already steadied the ladder with both hands, indicating that she could go down.

She nodded, and carefully moved down step by step holding the ladder. Only then did she deeply understand how important it was to learn Qinggong. Others could disappear with just a touch of their toes, but she could do nothing else except being the best in throwing pots.

At this moment, she vowed to find a martial arts master to learn, not to learn anything else, just to learn how to fly over eaves and walls, and float on water!

Finally reaching the ground, she sighed and slowly patted the dust off her hands. She turned around and realized something was wrong before she could say thank you. She slowly raised her head and suddenly saw a familiar face in her pupils. Not only was his aura oppressive, but even his eyes were full of majesty. She was startled and shouted in her heart that it was not good. There was no chance to escape.

Shanluo twisted her fingers aside, secretly looking at her with eyes full of guilt, as if to say that she also wanted to remind her but was not allowed.

Li Xuan gently grasped her wrist and sighed: "I knew you were nearby, why don't you come back with me."

She smiled and looked sincere, "My amiable Fourth Uncle, I am here. I just want to take a walk and will be back soon. Oh, by the way, I still have to return the ladder to my son!"

Li Xuan looked indifferent to your performance and said, "Where do you want to escape to now? Go back and tell me the truth. Where have you been these days? What have you experienced? How did you get in touch with the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Do you know how worried your brother is about you?..."

Then he ordered his men to carry the ladder away.

Li Xiying had a listless look on her face. She listened to the pile of questions asked by her fourth uncle but had no interest in answering them, so she had to be pulled away by him.

Not far away was a carriage with curtains on all sides, which seemed to have been waiting for a long time. A servant stood beside it, holding the reins.

Shan Luo stood there, not knowing what to do, but saw Li Xiying beckoning at her, asking her to follow him.

In the carriage sat the calm-looking Fourth Uncle and Li Xiying. Seeing that Shanluo was still not coming, she lifted the curtain and said to her, "Shanluo, come quickly!"

Shan Luo nodded hesitantly and followed, sitting next to Li Xiying.

The carriage drove slowly away. Li Xuan looked at Li Xixuan and could not wait to return home before asking, "Where have you been these days? So many things have happened, why didn't you go back? You sent a letter but there is not a single word. Do you know how worried everyone is about you?"

The queen and her brother waited for news day after day. Even Princess Pingyuan regretted helping her and was afraid that something might happen to her.

Li Xi was full of questions, "Hubei didn't tell Fourth Uncle?"

She was originally told to wait in the guest house, but Fourth Uncle's men were stationed there to investigate, so after so many days, she should have returned to the villa. Could it be that before it was in Amber's hands, Fourth Uncle was making random guesses?

"What amber?" Li Xuan asked.

She patiently explained, "I drew this picture for Amber. I wanted her to tell her and grandma not to worry about me. She can usually guess the meaning of my paintings every time I draw them. That's why I wanted to send the picture back to her so that she can tell you that I'm fine and safe."

"Very safe?" Li Xuan's eyes narrowed, his face full of doubt.

"Yes." Li Xiying said calmly.

Li Xuan spoke in a deep voice, colder than ever before, "Who sold you to the brothel? Who kidnapped you? How long do you want to keep this secret from Fourth Uncle?"

Li Xi was slightly stunned. What he said was not Shanluo's deeds. Fourth Uncle should change his subordinates. It was too unreliable to stop at the investigation of the truth. "Fourth Uncle, you must have heard the wrong thing!"

Li Xuan's brows relaxed. "So you haven't experienced this in the past few days?"

Seeing that she was intact and able to jump and dance, he was relieved. What could he do if he didn't believe her? She was already in front of him, and knowing that she was fine was the best explanation to his brother. As for that lecher, no matter which woman he kidnapped, he should be punished.

Li Xiying nodded and looked at Shanluo with his eyes downcast, looking absent-minded. She wondered if it was because he heard what they were saying.

"It's good that you don't have any experience. Don't run around anymore. Listen to your grandfather's instructions and be a good boy." Li Xuan's face gradually warmed up. "Then how did you get in touch with the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Li Xixiao said indifferently: "Not only did he establish a relationship with her, he has been living in the Prime Minister's residence for the past few days."

"What?" Hearing this, Li Xuan frowned, his heart tightening again, "You must tell me everything clearly."
