The system stopped responding to her.
Xiao Tang didn't think that asking for three times was an excessive demand!
However, these words were extremely offensive to the system.
The system remained silent for a long time before saying in a low voice, "Host, there is no room for negotiation on this matter. If you can complete the betting task, then please seize this opportunity to double your winnings."
Xiao Tang clenched her hands at her sides, then strode away.
Yan Jiu and Ru Yi exchanged a glance, and Ru Yi was the first to click her tongue: "The Princess Consort can't wait any longer!"
He really is a hypocrite.
She clearly looks forward to being with the Regent!
Yan Jiu glanced at Ruyi silently, offering no comment.
...
Once inside the courtyard, Xiao Tang pinched the flesh of her thigh, and a wave of pain washed over her.
[I must stay alert! The villain's poison has flared up; I need to be extremely vigilant!]
She strode confidently into the bedchamber.
Yan Jiu followed behind, about to say something, but Xiao Tang had already slammed the door shut without hesitation.
The loud slam of the door shut was deafening.
Ruyi was also startled by the forceful slamming of the door.
Yan Jiu gently pinched the bridge of her nose, her face full of helplessness: "I forgot to remind the Princess Consort that the Prince is in the secret chamber!"
inside the house.
Xiao Tang's gaze swept across the room, but she didn't see the main villain.
The book seems to have mentioned that every time the main villain's poison flares up, he locks himself in a secret room in the royal palace.
Moreover, there are only two entrances to this secret room.
One is from this dormitory.
The other is another path outside the Prince's Palace.
This other path was designed specifically for the female lead.
The female lead would use this secret passage to enter the secret room and accompany the main villain each time.
Xiao Tang began searching the house for the mechanism leading to the secret room.
If the mechanism cannot be found, the female lead will get close to the main villain, and then she will be unable to suppress the villain's poison, and her points will be reset to zero!
This is an extremely urgent matter!
"System, where is the mechanism leading to the secret room?"
system:? ?
The system says it doesn't know the answer to this question either.
Xiao Tang knew that relying on this system was useless, so she opened the door and asked, "Yan Jiu, how do we get into the secret room?"
Inside the secret room.
At this moment, Xiao Rourou had successfully arrived at the secret room through the secret passage. There was only a wooden door separating them, but she could not hear the sounds inside.
She leaned close to the door and listened intently.
She could only marvel at how excellent the sound insulation of the wooden door was; no matter how she listened, she couldn't detect any difference.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Rourou softly asked, "The Regent?"
"Brother Jingling?"
There was no response.
Xiao Rourou knocked on the door again, as if on tentatively.
Just as she was about to give up, another set of footsteps suddenly came from behind.
"Oh my, what a coincidence!" It was Xiao Tang.
Xiao Rourou's face immediately turned somewhat pale, and she looked a little nervous.
She turned slightly to face Xiao Tang directly: "Sister... how did you get in? Hehe."
She smiled stiffly.
Because she knew that this secret room could not be known by other women. She had only discovered the existence of the secret room by accidentally following Yan Jiu once.
Moreover, the Regent would hide here when the poison took effect.
Xiao Tang smiled and said, "Of course I can come in. My husband and I should be together. What's wrong with me coming in to keep him company?"
She blinked slightly.
She brought her innocence and naivety to the extreme.
Xiao Rourou met Xiao Tang's eyes and immediately noticed the cold smile in her eyes.
In an instant, a chill ran up from the soles of my feet.
How could Xiao Tang, that idiot, possibly have such a look in her eyes?
That's absolutely impossible!
Xiao Rourou reassured herself, her smile remaining gentle and graceful. "Sister, you're being too hostile towards me. I'm just worried about the Regent's poisoning; after all, I've always been by his side when he has an attack."
