“So you probably told them the situation, and they knew what to do. They didn’t get this thousand taels for nothing.
Xixi, later on, disguise yourself a little and pretend to be a man and sneak out through the back door. Remember to go and come back quickly!
When you come back, continue to wait in the ancestral hall. Let's not alert the enemy for now!"
Zhao said this quickly and in a low voice, then she covered her lips with her handkerchief and started coughing violently again.
The bright red blood on the white handkerchief is shocking!
"Mom! Have you taken your medicine?"
“Those medicines are useless, and who knows if Lin has people add anything to them.
Mom hasn't taken medicine for a while. Okay, Xixi, Mom's affairs are not important. Now you should just do as I say.
Hurry up! Go quickly! "
Zhao waved her hand and lay down.
There was blood at the corner of her mouth, and her face was terribly pale. The bright red blood made her face look as white as a piece of paper.
Ying Xixi felt uneasy, fearing that by the time she returned, the Zhao family would be gone.
She did not leave immediately, but went to the outer room and spoke hurriedly to the system in her heart.
"System, quickly check the mall to see if there are any items that can restore Zhao's health!"
[Okay, host, don't worry, let this system find it.]
[Found it! The Vitality Pill is perfect for Zhao. It can regenerate failing organs. It only costs 200 points to obtain.]
"Okay, I'll buy it! Hurry up!"
Ying Xixi urged, and then a pill appeared in her palm.
She took the pills and returned to the inner room, poured a glass of water and came to Zhao's bed.
It was similar to what Ying Xixi guessed. If she waited until she came back, Zhao might really be gone.
Zhao had just said so much to her, and she was coughing and vomiting blood.
Now Zhao is almost in a coma.
Ying Xixi quickly stuffed the pill into Zhao's mouth, gave her two sips of water, watched her swallow the pill smoothly, and then left to deal with her own affairs.
The effects of the props in the system mall are beyond imagination, Zhao will definitely be fine!
Ying Xixi disguised herself as a servant and successfully left the Ying Mansion. As Zhao had said, she found the land of gentleness.
As the name suggests, the Land of Gentleness is a brothel.
The woman standing at the door soliciting customers was dressed coolly and greeted them by waving a handkerchief.
Ying Xixi looked down at her clothes.
I wonder if she will be recognized if she dresses like a man.
Now that we're here, we have no choice but to go in.
Ying Xixi went in headfirst, but the scent of all kinds of rouge and powder made her cover her face and sneeze violently.
"Oh, my lord, you're so annoying! Why do you sneeze as soon as you come in? Do you dislike me?"
A beautiful woman saw this and hit Ying Xixi twice in a coquettish manner.
Ying Xixi rubbed her nose, not forgetting to deliberately lower her voice, "No, no, it's not that I dislike you. Where's your madam? I need to see her for something."
"You look young, but you're into brothels?"
Ying Xixi smiled awkwardly, "Yes, this young master likes older people."
The beautiful woman snorted and walked away swayingly, without paying any attention to Xixi.
Ying Xixi stood there scratching her head, so where is the madam?
"I heard that the young master is looking for me?"
A voice came from behind her, and Ying Xixi turned her head to see the madam who was obviously dressed differently from other young women.
She took out the jade pendant that Zhao had given her from her bosom and waved it in front of the madam.
"I wonder if you are the one I'm looking for?"
Ying Xixi saw it clearly. After the madam saw her jade pendant, her eyes changed from indifferent to alert.
"It's me, it's not me, sir, come with me."
After the madam finished speaking, she took Ying Xixi upstairs and into a room.
The room was empty. The madam asked Ying Xixi to wait inside for a while and then left.
As Ying Xixi sat down, she saw a man wearing a black brocade robe and a ghost mask walk in.
The man is tall and has a strong aura.
Even though he deliberately restrained his aura, Ying Xixi still felt this aura that was more like that emitted by a superior.
"What do you want?"
The man sat down in front of Ying Xixi and spoke.
The man had a deep voice and sounded quite pleasant.
However, Ying Xixi felt that the man's voice was as fake as her own.
"I want to ask you a favor."
Ying Xixi did not reveal her identity, but claimed that she was the maid of Prime Minister Ying's legitimate daughter and told the general story.
"My young lady was very sad about this matter. When she heard that you could help, she asked me to come over. This is a small token of my gratitude to you."
Ying Xixi took out the one thousand taels of silver note, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of the man.
The man tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, as if he was thinking.
Ying Xixi glanced at the man's fingers. The joints were long and slender, and there were some calluses on the sides of his fingers.
Obviously a martial artist.
Now she no longer doubted whether Zhao had any hidden identity. She felt that this gentle place was more like an organization that collected intelligence and specialized in killing people.
The jade pendant is a token of trust. As long as you have it, you can meet people from the organization through the madam.
"Okay, let your young lady wait for news."
The man said, tapping his fingertips on the table again, "Please do as you please, sir."
Ying Xixi knew that this meant she was being asked to leave, so she stood up and said, "Please excuse me, sir."
After saying that, he left.
After Ying Xixi left, two men dressed as servants came out from the secret door of the house and stood respectfully in front of the man, "Master."
"You heard what I just said, right? Go investigate."
The man's voice returned to normal, still deep but a little hoarse.
"yes."
Ying Xixi slipped back to Ying Mansion and went to see Zhao first.
Zhao hadn't woken up yet, but she looked much better than before she left.
It shouldn't take long for Zhao's body to return to normal.
After making sure that Zhao was fine, Ying Xixi slipped back into the ancestral hall.
The man guarding the door of the ancestral hall was dozing off with his arms folded. Ying Xixi went into the hall in the dark and lit a candle.
The light from the candles made the ancestral hall a little brighter, but it also gave off a somewhat eerie atmosphere.
In particular, Ying Xixi discovered that one of the spirit tablets had fallen over and was lying on the table.
She remembered that there was no wind when she climbed out the window, and the window was closed, so there was no wind blowing in. How could the spirit tablet fall over?
Ying Xixi rubbed the goose bumps on her arms and tried to lift the spirit tablet with trembling hands.
But she tried several times but she just didn't have the courage and she pulled her hand back.
[Host, won't you lift up the spirit tablet? ]
The system suddenly spoke, scaring Ying Xixi, who was already on edge, so much that she almost screamed.
"System, what are you doing! Don't you know that making a sudden sound can scare people to death?!"
