The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

The prime minister stared at Li Xiying coldly, then turned to look at Shanluo beside her, "You say!"

Shan Luo felt her hair run down her body when she was stared at. She wanted to shake her head, but when she thought of what her grandfather had told her, the embroidery workshop, and the dark place in the brothel, she bit her lips tightly and said, "It has nothing to do with my wife. It was... I who poisoned her."

Li Xi was somewhat surprised. Did she know what she was doing? It was clearly a trap set up by the other party, so why did she jump into it without hesitation?

"You poisoned her?" The prime minister raised his brows and looked at Li Xiying again, "You brought her to the mansion?"

She said nothing, but waited for him to say - since he was the person she brought here, he should be considered an accomplice.

The prime minister said, "Drive them out and never let them into the palace again!"

The prime minister calmed down and walked to his wife's bedside, holding her hand with concern, "Let's go."

The maid was indescribably surprised, "Master, they almost killed Madam, shouldn't they be beaten to death with sticks?"

The prime minister frowned, "I think you should be beaten to death! And all the people around the lady who didn't take good care of her should be beaten to death. If you don't want to die ugly, get out!"

Although the maid looked dissatisfied, she dared not say anything more and could only leave obediently.

Li Xi didn't know why he deliberately covered up for her. Did the prime minister already know her identity? Otherwise, it was really puzzling. In this case, she didn't bother to clarify herself, but said kindly: "I don't know why the herbs were in the corridor where I lived, and I don't want to defend it, but I still can't help but remind you; the person who gave you the drugs may be around you. The scary thing is that her purpose doesn't seem to be as simple as taking Madam's life, so you'd better take care of yourself."

Perhaps the prime minister had already found out Li Xiying's identity, but had been playing along with her and not exposing her, and he didn't even tell his wife. So when someone framed her this time, he let her go after saying something harsh without verifying the truth.

As soon as she left the house, Shan Luo couldn't help sobbing. Until she was far away from the prime minister's residence, in a deserted place, she could no longer bear the guilt in her heart and knelt down beside Li Xiying.

Li Xi's expression froze for a moment. The "kneeling" posture that she usually used in the manor, either in a fearful or flattering manner, had been completely abandoned.

Little did he know that this would not move her, and he stopped only to give her a chance to explain.

But after a long while, Shanluo still didn't speak, she just looked sobbing, so she didn't want to wait any longer, so she lifted her skirt and walked back home.

"Princess... I'm sorry, I have to do this." Shan Luo said timidly.

Li Xi stopped and turned to look at her, "You have to do this? That means someone is forcing you, right?"

She had long guessed that given Shan Luo's personality and situation, she would never fabricate this matter to frame her. If it was coercion, it must be because the other party knew her life experience and background very well, so she could take advantage of it.

So she was curious and felt strange.

Li Xi looked at her carefully, and couldn't figure out who would threaten her to do this, what was the benefit of doing this, and what was the purpose?

But what is certain is that Shan Luo gave up her job in the embroidery workshop and came to find her for this reason only. The idea of ​​wanting to meet the prime minister's wife was just an excuse taught to her by the other party.

Seeing her acting like a fish at the mercy of others, Li Xiying felt pity for her misfortune and hated her for not fighting back.

After all, her grandmother is deceased and she has no weaknesses, so logically she has no leverage to threaten others.

After all, this basin of dirty water might make it difficult for both of them to walk out of the Prime Minister's Mansion alive, and even if their identities were exposed, there would be the risk of being beaten to death.

Looking at the princess's prying eyes, which seemed to know everything, Shanluo knew that she should not hide anything at this point.

As the prime minister and several young men were present, she was trembling with fear in her heart, thinking that if the prime minister wanted to kill the princess in anger, it would be a huge disaster and she would definitely be punished by heaven.

But grandpa said that was a "princess".

The princess was of noble status, so she would be spared from death if her identity was revealed. Even if it was really done by the princess, they would not dare to act rashly.

But even so, her heart was beating in her throat. What if the princess didn't want to reveal her title and the prime minister couldn't resist his anger? So in desperation, she framed the princess and took the blame herself.

But she didn't know that the two of them were considered to be in the same boat, and they would prosper together and suffer together.

"Why don't you tell me now that things have come to this?"

There was not a trace of anger in the princess' questioning. She could not help but feel guilty and said hesitantly, "Yes... my grandfather was released from prison. He came to the embroidery workshop yesterday and took me back."

Li Xiying paused for a moment and motioned for her to continue.

Shan Luo continued, "There is a man behind my grandfather who has great connections. He not only saved him from the death penalty and released him from prison, but also got the house back from the bad guys. My grandfather regarded him as his benefactor and was willing to agree to anything, so he found me and said that as long as I tried my best to get the princess to go to the prime minister's residence and then accuse the princess, it would be regarded as an act of repaying the favor. If I don't do it, he will take back the house... and, and, and..."

She was already sobbing and knew that no amount of explanation would clear her of guilt.

"What else? Am I going to sell you out again?" Li Xiying had a meaningful expression.

To avoid the death penalty and take back the house from the bad guys, he must be no small figure to be able to do these things.

Shanluo nodded timidly.

Leading her to the Prime Minister's residence, and then working together from inside and outside to gamble with the lady's life, these were all choices made by Shanluo after weighing the pros and cons.

Her choice kept Li Xiying in the dark from beginning to end, and she had to accept it passively.

After confirming this lame excuse, Li Xi said coldly, "Are you choosing to ignore other things because of your adoptive father's kindness, or are you really helpless? If you were really forced out of helplessness, do you remember that he has sold you once? If you were not lucky enough to redeem yourself, how could you still threaten him? If the indenture that Han Qi spent 500 gold to buy is useless, then what about the laws and regulations?"

Shan Luo's expression flickered, but she was ultimately unable to resist the princess's doubts. She said, "If that's the case, Shan Luo is no longer afraid. But that person also said that if the embroidery workshop is in trouble again, it will be because of me. The embroidery workshop has finally gotten through the difficulties. If it's because of me..."

"Again?" When Li Xiying caught this word, she couldn't help but guess that the incident at the embroidery workshop last time was not a coincidence. "So the other party did this more than once?"

Shanluo nodded.

How could the hand stretch so far? Li Xi was puzzled. With so many people involved, what kind of game was this?

It seems that the other party is indeed capable and it is inevitable that he will be able to control Shan Luo.

"In that case, this is considered a success? Will I look for you again in the future?"

Shan Luo looked up at her with a sincere expression: "Princess, things are definitely not that easy to predict. My grandfather's benefactor went to so much trouble to come just for you. He first bribed my grandfather and then tried to kill you through me. Even if I wasn't there, he would have thought of other ways. Maybe he wanted to give you a warning. Why don't you go back to Luoyang? I'm afraid it will be even more disadvantageous to you in the future!"

Li Xi sneered. Poisoning the prime minister's wife and framing her, was all this trouble just to give her a warning? I'm afraid it's not that simple.

She also thought seriously about Shanluo's words and sighed slightly, "If I could go back to Luoyang, I would have gone back long ago. Why would I stay in Chang'an and let others tease me? I have also been trying to get Grandpa's permission, but what can I do about it?"

Although Fourth Uncle said that she would not get married, Grandpa did not say so. After he was done with his busy schedule for a while, perhaps he would consider her lifelong affairs again.

So she was also thinking about how to deal with it.

Then she frowned, stared at her and said, "You call me Grandpa, Grandpa, but it's a bit too intimate. Your adoptive father sold you to a brothel and you have no relationship with him anymore, not to mention he is not your biological son. Your grandmother who saved your life was killed by him, but you are not angry, but you think about him and do things for him, calling him Grandpa? To be honest, if you had told me this earlier, maybe I would have a way to deal with it. Why did you let me be in such a passive situation?"
