Zi Liao smiled, satisfying Ji Xingzhi's doubts. "At first, I really didn't know you were a woman disguised as a man, but after getting to know you for a long time, I naturally discovered something was wrong. After all, women are women. There are still many things that are very different from men, such as your hands, your neck, your body shape, and even your face..."
Ji Xingzhi closed her eyes slightly. At this point, she admitted defeat.
Zi Liao looked at Ji Xingzhi's reaction with great satisfaction, and a sense of accomplishment arose in his heart.
Zi Liao had just untied Ji Xingzhi's belt when he heard a commotion outside and faintly heard words like "fire" and "help".
Zi Liao frowned slightly, covered Ji Xingzhi with a quilt, then straightened his clothes, turned around and walked out of the room.
"Master." The busy people outside saw Zi Liao coming out and bowed to him.
Zi Liao nodded slightly and asked, "What's going on?"
Someone replied: "Someone is causing trouble and setting fire in the yard."
"What? Take me to see." Zi Liao's face darkened slightly. He glanced into the room and thought that Ji Xingzhi didn't have the strength to escape, so he just closed the door and left in a hurry.
At this time, Ji Xingzhi knew that Zi Liao had left, but she could not muster any strength. She tried her best but only managed to drop the quilt from her body to the ground.
Just then, the door was gently pushed open, and someone walked quickly towards Ji Xingzhi.
"Girl!" A familiar voice came into his ears. Ji Xingzhi looked up and saw that it was Su Ju.
"Su Ju? How did you get in?" Ji Xingzhi remembered that one needed a token to enter Qiongxiang Tower. There were so many people guarding the door, how did a woman like Su Ju get in?
Su Ju stepped forward to help Ji Xingzhi put on her clothes and fasten her belt, then reached out to help Ji Xingzhi stand up: "Manager Ai gave me the manager's seal earlier. I saw that the seal was somewhat similar to the seal Zi Liao showed to the guards, so I tried it with the seal, and I didn't expect them to really let me in.
When the girl and Zi Liao left, I noticed that the shoes Zi Liao was wearing were exactly the same as the boss's. I guessed that Zi Liao was the boss, so I followed the girl secretly. I found that the girl and the boss had entered this room and didn't come out for a long time. I was worried that something had happened to the girl, so I set a fire. Now the place has become a mess.
After hearing this, Ji Xingzhi secretly gave Su Ju a thumbs up and said weakly, "This fire is well set."
Su Ju originally wanted to help Ji Xingzhi run, but Ji Xingzhi's body was so weak that Su Ju simply didn't have enough strength to carry Ji Xingzhi.
"Girl, don't you have any strength at all?" Su Ju asked.
Ji Xingzhi didn't even have the strength to shake her head. Her head became even more dizzy, and her consciousness gradually blurred. She said in a daze, "The... perfume powder... on you... is poisonous."
She still had a little strength left, but when she smelled the perfume on Su Ju's body, Ji Xingzhi could no longer hold on even if her consciousness was strong.
"Go find the Regent..."
Ji Xingzhi fainted before she could finish her words.
Although Ji Xingzhi did not finish her words, her intention was already very clear. When Su Ju heard Ji Xingzhi asking her to go to the Regent for help, she thought, she was just a brothel girl with a low status. How could she possibly meet such a high and mighty figure as the Regent?
Looking at the unconscious Ji Xingzhi, Su Ju fumbled around on Ji Xingzhi's body. Finally, she took out a jade seal from Ji Xingzhi. Without looking at the seal carefully, she hurriedly put it into her chest and left the room.
