The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Chapter 96: Yanqi Kingdom?

General Bahar said, "Last time, I promised you that I would take you to the village and explain everything about your mother, but there have been so many things going on these days that I finally found some time..."

Long Qi didn't want to hear his extra words, so he asked directly, "Since she is your daughter, then she pretended to be someone else and sneaked into the Prime Minister's Mansion to harm my aunt. Was it in collusion with you?"

The wrinkles on the old general's face became even deeper. He just realized all this. Then he looked at her and sighed, "I am a bad parent! But..."

Qiao Xian frowned, her rugged and turbid face full of confusion, and said, "What's wrong? I didn't kill anyone, but Grandpa actually listened to his instigation!"

"Don't talk!" Bahar was so angry that his head hurt. He then whispered, "Do you know who you are harming? She is the sister of our former king, a princess who married far away from Yanqi! You... are so confused!"

Qiao Xian sneered and said, "What princess? I have been in the Tang Dynasty since I was born. My grandfather still respects the former King of Yanqi. It's fine. He has lost his country, let alone a princess."

"You..." The old general was furious.

Long Qi had no intention of watching them play the good and bad guys here, but since he admitted it, it was undoubtedly her who did it, so he called for help.

"No, no, no!" General Bahar blushed and said to him with a guilty face, "It is my fault for not educating my daughter properly. I will teach her a lesson when I return. But the...the prime minister's wife is fine too. Why don't you just spare our little girl this time?"

Long Qi concealed the hesitation in his eyes and remained unmoved.

Bahar's eyes turned red. "My dear, do you still remember the story I told you last time?"

Without waiting for Long Qi to answer, he continued to talk to himself, "Last time, it was said that some people in Yanqi were poisoned by the Tang princess. My dear, you also have the blood of the Yanqi royal family. Who would have known that those poor people are now infected with sores and ugly, and have been unable to cure the poison for decades, living in sorrow all their lives? And my daughter Qiao Xian is one of them. Since she was poisoned, she has been trying her best to find a way to cure the poison for so many years. She even... even found a quack doctor to replace her skin, but it was useless except for leaving a long scar on her face."

Long Qi interrupted coldly, "What does it have to do with me? And what does it have to do with what she did?"

"Of course it's relevant!"

After he finished speaking, he turned to Qiao Xian and said helplessly, "Ah Xian, take off the mask."

Qiao Xian frowned slightly and said reluctantly: "Grandpa, why did you confide so much to him? He is so ignorant, how can he understand us!"

"I told you to take off the mask!" Bahar shouted again.

Qiao Xian had never seen her grandfather like this before. She thought that since things had come to this point, it didn't matter what she saw, so she dipped her finger in the medicine and suddenly took off the mask.

Long Qi couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and was shocked for a moment. He didn't expect that the face under her mask was really different. Just as he said...

Even though the old general spoke sincerely, Long Qi thought that it was because of her that his aunt had been bedridden for several months. After all, she still hadn't revealed the real reason why she was doing evil. How could he let her go so easily?

"You are avoiding the important issues and putting the cart before the horse! It seems that you are trying to gain sympathy by playing the victim, and you are not going to tell the truth?"...

The old general's face froze. He had played the emotional card wrongly. Long Qi did not show any sympathy at all. He even looked more impatient.

He hesitated, "This is indeed not a reason to harm people, so please allow me to give a small punishment and a big warning. Fortunately, nothing serious has happened... If you want to report this to the government, you should think it over carefully. After all, no one has died in this matter, so even if you go to the government, it won't do anything. On the contrary, the secret of the Yanqi people will be known to everyone, and then we Yanqi people may be wiped out. What kind of situation will that be? Your mother who is still alive in the village is still waiting to see the light of day again!"

Long Qi paused. Mother?

The old general paused, looked at him and said, "Perhaps you don't believe me now. If you are willing to follow me to the village, you will know the truth. I will tell the princess... that is, the prime minister's wife, how to punish Qiao Xian. I will never beg for mercy, but please don't let this secret be known to everyone."

After saying this, he had accomplished his goal, but the old man still looked guilty. "Tomorrow at noon, if you are willing to go to the village with me, wait for me at the gate of the mansion at dawn. Not only about the story of Yanqi, but also about your biological mother."

Long Qiyuan remained silent.

Since he was a child, his aunt told him that his parents were both dead and his only blood relative was his aunt, nothing more.

Now that the secret about his mother was right before his eyes, he could not suppress his desire to find out.

While I was distracted, the old general had already left with Qiao Xian through the window, and left a message at the end, "I will take my daughter away to discipline her. You must come back tomorrow at 5 a.m."

Long Qi chased after them, but the two had already disappeared.

At the moment she was opening the door of the wing room to go out, the prime minister's wife happened to walk to the door. She saw several servants waiting at the door. She didn't know what was going on and was about to knock on the door when it was opened.

But he saw Archie opening the door and coming out, wondering, "Archie, why are you...?"

When Long Qi saw his aunt, he asked the servants to leave and greeted her, "Aunt."

Madam Xiang remembered her intention and said with a smile, "I came to talk to Xi Xuan about the marriage proposal. Three letters and six engagements are necessary, but I don't even know the address of my in-laws, so I came to ask for clarification. But I don't know why there is such a scene at the door?"

Long Qi remained silent for a long time.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, the lady smiled, thinking that he was shy: "Since there is nothing, I will go in to find Xi Xuan." As she said that, she was about to go into the wing room.

Just as she was about to push the door open, she heard him ask in a deep voice, "Aunt, do you know where my parents are buried?"

The lady was slightly startled, and then looked puzzled, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

Over the years, he never asked about his parents' graves, nor did he inquire about his parents. He thought the child had already accepted the fact that his parents were no longer around.

Then she smiled and said, "That's right. You're about to get married, so it's only natural for you to want to go and worship your parents. But speaking of which, I remember that you asked this question when you were six years old. I remember I told you that your parents are buried not in Chang'an, nor in the Central Plains, but in a wild place in the Western Regions. I don't know exactly where it is, and I can't take you there because it's thousands of miles away."

Long Qi said: "I remember."

Madam Xiang also smiled, "You said at that time: 'When a person dies, it is like a light going out. The grave is just a place for the living to express their grief for the dead. I have never seen my parents since I was a child, but I can feel the same way as long as I miss them in my heart.'"

Long Qi's expression slightly changed, "Aunt remembers it all."

Madam Xiang sighed sadly, "Aqi, you have been more sensible than your peers since you were a child. Your aunt loves you as if you were her own child. Now that you are about to start a family, I am also filled with emotion! ..."

Long Qi felt extremely sarcastic when he heard the word "start a family". If his aunt was still in the dark about this matter, he might be even more hurt. So he asked casually, "Does my aunt know about Yanqi Kingdom?"

"Yanqi Kingdom?" The Prime Minister's wife's expression flickered and she was slightly surprised.
