The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Chapter 83 One More Thing

"I would like to resist." She pointed at his slender finger bones. Her waist was held by his hand. The rubble was steep and she could not stay upright if she moved.

It would have been fine in the past when there was no one else around, but now there are maids and soldiers in the whole courtyard doing this in front of everyone, and I’m afraid that it will get to my master’s ears and cause trouble.

He seemed to be aware of this problem, and he was calm and composed: "Your Highness, why don't you ask them to leave?"

She opened her red lips and insisted, "Wouldn't it be easier to let me go first?"

As soon as she finished her words, she leaned over and accidentally fell on his hard chest, with the sound of plops ringing in her ears.

Her eyes darkened. How could it look like she was throwing herself into his arms? Then she lowered her eyes and said to the people below, "No need to catch him. He said he is the young master from the Prime Minister's Mansion who came to return something. Everyone, leave."

"The princess was coerced? Why did she touch me when I was returning the things?" The soldier obviously didn't believe it, and the maid also agreed.

Li Xixiao opened her eyes and looked at the people below, and said angrily, "What if you don't believe me? Do you want to see me thrown off the roof by him?"

The maids and soldiers were all speechless, not knowing whether to listen or not, when Li Xiying added: "As long as you retreat, he will naturally let me go."

After listening to him for a long time, they had no choice but to give up and left with the long ladder and bow and arrow. The maid was waiting anxiously below, begging him again and again, but it was useless and she had to move away from him wisely...

Li Xi turned around and laughed dryly: "Excuse me, sir, can you let me go now?"

"Do you think I am the kind of person who would throw you down?" Although he said so, he still readily let the man go.

The feeling of weightlessness was fleeting. After reaching the ground, Li Xiying kept a distance from him and thought carefully about his words.

Although he had never hurt her in substance, the insults he had said in the Prime Minister's Mansion were still fresh in her mind. Even so, she was unwilling to talk nonsense with him now, so she said impatiently: "What happened in the past is in the past. Today, just pretend that you have never been here. From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other. Please leave quickly, my dear, and don't wait for my fourth uncle to catch him in the act."

Although his eyes dimmed after hearing this, he remained calm and said, "Actually, I came here for another matter."

Li Xixiao frowned slightly and sighed, "You might as well finish your speech quickly and stop talking nonsense."

Obviously, the soldier would not wait outside without informing Li Zhen. Once Li Zhen was asked to meet him, even if she wanted to let him go, Li Zhen would not agree.

"Regarding the incident of someone poisoning and framing the Prime Minister's Mansion, not only do I know the reason, my aunt is also certain that the murderer is someone else."

"..." Li Xiying was silent for a while.

Long Qi was also silent for a while.

He was a little puzzled by her reaction, but then he returned to normal and said, "The Prime Minister also said that he would investigate it thoroughly and clear your name."

"So?" She couldn't help but laugh. "You are from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I am a princess of a country. Whether you find out the truth or not has no effect on me. In fact, there is no need to tell me specifically. Besides, do you know why your aunt trusts me?"

Long Qi subconsciously thought about it and immediately understood what she meant, so he said, "You want to say that she is good to you just to make up for her guilt towards Zhi'er?"

Li Xiying was a little surprised, "So you knew?"

"I saw that you would go out of your way to visit her, worry about her health, and play the pipa for her, so you would care about how she feels about you? It turns out that I was overthinking."

"Since you have seen it all, I don't think I need to hide it from you. Yesterday I went to see the Prime Minister's wife, and she brought a young lady with her. Do you remember her?"

"I have some impression." But what does she have to do with this matter?

Li Xizhen continued, "If I say that she is the daughter of the prime minister's wife, and that she followed her future husband to Puzhou after leaving the mansion yesterday, would you believe me?"

Although Long Qi was stunned, it was only for a moment, "How did you know she was?"

"You can believe it. The prime minister had been looking for someone in his residence for more than ten years but found nothing. But a minister found out the reason after following the clues. I think it might be fate, or maybe there are other reasons. I don't know."

"did you mean……"

"I have already said this. Since she has chosen to give up being the daughter of the Prime Minister and leave, it is better to respect her wishes. What do you think, Long Langjun?"

"Then why tell me?"

"I'm afraid you'll climb over my wall again next time because of your wife." Suddenly she thought of something, raised the dagger in her hand, and smiled, "But, thank you for returning the dagger to me... From now on, we owe each other nothing~"

An unstable emotion flashed in his eyes, as if he was a little disappointed that she was eager to distance herself from him and hand over the truth. He then lowered his eyes to look at her, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

The commotion outside was getting closer, so he quickly went up to the room and left.

Li Xi was really envious of his clean and efficient skills. Now that he had left, if he dared to step on the roof of her courtyard and tease the soldiers outside the courtyard again, she would definitely not let him go so easily.

"Where is the thief?"

From far outside the yard, I could hear my fourth uncle's voice and the sound of chaotic footsteps.

"Fourth Uncle." Li Xi turned around in shock and looked at the huge group of people at the gate of the courtyard. He quickly thought about how to explain, "What's wrong?"

"Where's that lecher?" He frowned and looked around, finding nothing. "Are you hurt?"

"He's gone, I'm fine." Li Xiying put away the dagger and spoke obediently in front of his fourth uncle.

Li Xuan obviously didn't believe it. He asked the maids beside him and they all said they had left. So he asked, "I heard from the soldiers that they were from the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

She nodded. She was angry at the time, but after thinking about it, she realized that it was just causing trouble for herself.

"Then why don't you go through the main entrance, but climb over the eaves and walls and come in secretly?"

His questions were really tricky and his eyes were really vicious, so she didn't know how to phrase them. It was as if she had caught an indescribable tryst and the male protagonist had run away.

She pouted and said, "Uh... I want to know why too. Next time he comes, tell the soldiers to teach him a lesson immediately and don't let him run away."

The implication is - if the soldiers were useful, they could have executed the man on the spot!

Li Xuan exhaled and said, "It shows that he is quite skilled. You should have used the medicine that your fourth uncle gave you in an emergency to knock him out. How can you run away?"

She nodded and asked how to use it.

Li Xuan called a few servants over, and without saying a word, he signaled her with his eyes to try a few things.

The servants stood in a row, not knowing what was going on. They only saw Li Xiying take out the medicine bottle. The bottle was empty and full of dust. It was too late for them to cover their noses. They fell asleep one after another.

Li Xixiao looked at the servants snoring on the ground, and didn't expect it to be so useful!
