Chapter 131 The Cold-blooded Supervisor of the East Factory vs. the Vicious Aunt in the Deep Palace
"Is he really dead?"
"Definitely dead. There's no way anyone could survive after drinking that glass of wine."
Song Zhihui winked at the guard behind him, and the guard nodded slightly and walked towards Wei Xuanzhi.
Yingsi could only pretend to be scared and half lean on the ground.
The guard bent down and probed Wei Xuanzhi's nose with his fingertips, then quickly replied: "Your Excellency, he is dead."
Yingsi looked over with some surprise again. If he hadn't died, this performance would have been top-notch. She would really need to learn from him someday.
Song Zhihui still seemed a little worried and made a gesture of wiping his neck with his hand.
"Go to extremes."
The guard hesitated for a moment, then drew his knife from his waist, with the tip of the knife pointing downwards, pointing it directly at Wei Xuanzhi's back.
System: Warning! The male protagonist is at risk of death!
Yingsi: "?? Can't you see he's pretending?"
System: But if the male protagonist does not resist, he will still be at risk of death.
...Sometimes I really don’t know what else to say except being speechless.
"Wait, do I already have a favorable impression now?"
System: Yes, the current favorability is 1.
Now that we have a little bit... let's all perform together.
The guard had raised the knife high in his hand and was about to stab it downwards.
The people on the other side clenched their fists and watched this scene, as if they were imagining that the person holding the knife was themselves, and they all wanted to kill him with their own hands...
Yingsi swallowed his saliva, looked at the tip of the knife and pounced forward the moment it was about to stab down.
System: Favorability +30~
No one had time to react.
At this moment, a man suddenly ran in from outside, his face anxious and panicked, with blood still on his body.
"Master Song, there is an ambush at Lady Jin's place, and all our people have been captured!"
Then the man took another look at the mess at Wei Xuanzhi's place and said anxiously, "People from the East Factory are coming to our house now!"
"what?!"
In an instant, everyone began to get nervous.
At this moment, the guard's knife had already touched Yingsi's back, and it was only a hair's length away from piercing her skin and taking her life.
She gritted her teeth and pressed against Wei Xuanzhi's back, her face pressed against his waist because of nervousness. Her accelerated heartbeat and the hot air from her nose were all felt by his body. The next step was to wait for the pain to come.
However, in a flash, Wei Xuanzhi opened his eyes quickly, and the hand that was holding her exerted a little force, and the tip of the knife just managed to cut through the thin layer of fabric.
Yingsi slid off his body and fell into his arms the next moment, and his other hand broke the guard's hand with lightning speed, then pushed him away with a palm.
The guard fell to the ground and died instantly.
Everything happened in just a moment. When the silver knife fell to the ground, everyone in the hall suddenly realized that Wei Xuanzhi was not poisoned.
"Wei Xuanzhi! You are playing tricks on us!" Song Zhihui said angrily.
Wei Xuanzhi didn't look at him, but lowered his eyes to look at the person lying in his arms, with the corners of his lips raised.
Seeing Yingsi's panicked look turned into resentment after she found out he woke up, he was even in a good mood and hooked her chin with two fingers of his other hand.
His eyes were dangerous and bewitching, as if he was admiring something interesting.
Then, as if he remembered something, he picked up the empty wine glass in front of him and threw it casually in front of everyone's shocked gaze.
The wine glass shattered into pieces, and many holes appeared on the roof at that moment. Countless men in green flying fish suits jumped down. The house was surrounded inside and outside without knowing when. The originally spacious hall became crowded in an instant.
"kill."
A simple yet ruthless command came out from his thin lips.
As if the God of Hell had played a fatal chess trick on them, the officials were all so frightened that they stood there in a daze.
Upon receiving the order, the factory envoys immediately brandished their scimitars excitedly, stabbing everyone present several times without hesitation until their terrified faces twisted into a ball and then fell silently.
The screams and wails that came one after another instantly made the entire Song Mansion look like hell.
Yingsi couldn't help but lean forward to watch this movie-like scene.
System: The countdown to the Vision Card is in the last ten seconds.
Feeling lightly hit on the chest, Yingsi suddenly jumped up in shock and wanted to escape.
But Wei Xuanzhi had no intention of letting her go. He pulled her body back when she tried to escape, and then pinched her cheek with his fingers.
- Systems: 10
- Systems: 9
- Systems: 8
……
Like the countdown of life, every reminder from the system tugs at my heart.
Her rapidly beating heart made her breathing quicker, so her lips unconsciously opened a little and her fingertips tightly grasped his sleeves.
Wei Xuanzhi just looked at her, his eyes seemed fixed on something, admiring her helplessness and panic without blinking.
System: 1. Countdown ends, the Vision Card is invalid.
Yingsi's breathing paused at this moment. All kinds of strange sounds flashed in her ears, which sounded more like mechanical humming. The sudden feeling of dizziness made her slowly close her eyes.
So the next moment, the unfamiliar face in front of Wei Xuanzhi slowly turned back to its original half-cold and half-charming face.
Right in front of him, there was a chaotic fight, with bright red blood flying everywhere, but in his eyes, it seemed that only the person in front of him was worthy of attention.
She slowly opened her eyes, and a hint of doubt flashed across Wei Xuanzhi's eyes, but it only lasted for a second.
Then she blinked lightly, and suddenly let go of the hand that was pinching her cheek.
"Why save me?"
Yingsi's eyelashes trembled. Is this guy's eyes blurry and he can't see clearly?
Or is it that even my eyes don’t work anymore after my penis was cut off?
Is this what's important?
Isn't it more terrifying and curious that a person turns into someone else in front of him?
Wasn't it to ask this question that he had held her back in the first place?
In order to confirm this point, Yingsi loosened her fingers that were grabbing his sleeves, raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
After making sure that he was not blind, he touched his forehead with the back of his hand.
"Sir, are you sick from drinking poisoned wine?"
Wei Xuanzhi blinked again, raised his hand to grab her wrist, and said with his thin lips: "You haven't answered my question yet."
Yingsi looked away and thought: It’s because you are the male lead.
But the next moment, she smiled, met his gaze sincerely and replied: "Do you like to hear me say I like you so much, sir?"
The fingertips holding her wrist trembled slightly, and even the look in his eyes became softer.
System: Favorability +10~
Yingsi: What? I thought he was so cool, so abstinent, and so different, but it turns out he can't stand the attack of sweet talk.
What a mistake. I should have used this trick from the beginning.
System: According to the algorithm’s prediction, if the host confesses his love at the beginning while the male protagonist’s personality remains unchanged, there is a 99% chance that he will be hacked to death on the spot, and there is a 1% chance that he will be tortured to death.
Lingering Thoughts: …
"You're talking nonsense again."
Her smile was too dazzling, Wei Xuanzhi looked away in panic, then let go of her and stood up.
There's no way to escape this time.
Yingsi curled her lips quietly, quickly grabbed the hem of his clothes, frowned and hissed.
As expected, he immediately lowered his eyes.
"What's wrong."
Yingsi shook her head and whispered deliberately, "I seem to have been stabbed when I was saving you just now..."
His eyes flickered for a moment, and he lifted her up with a little effort, then quickly carried her out.
Yingsi didn't react for a moment, thinking he was just saying hello, but who knew there would be such a big reaction.
He walked quickly, but still held her steadily.
Yingsi hooked her arm around his neck and looked back, frowning and saying, "What will happen to them if you leave?"
Wei Xuanzhi glanced at her calmly and said, "The East Factory has its own way of doing things."
Yingsi curled her lips in disapproval. What method? Isn't it just a random killing?
Not caring about her disdain, Wei Xuanzhi put her on the horse directly in front of the Song Mansion, then climbed on top and stood behind her.
"where to."
"Inn."
Without waiting for her to say the next word, he pulled the reins to urge the horse on.
Yingsi looked down at the hand on her waist and couldn't help feeling that life is unpredictable.
Who could have thought that the ruthless man who stabbed her in the face when they first met would now take the initiative to hug her waist.
Seeing him stop in front of the door of the inn where she was staying without hesitation, Yingsi realized that he had no intention of letting her go alone to find her relatives.
And when she found that the shopkeeper and the waiter were very respectful to him after entering the door, she couldn't help but sigh.
Who can outsmart him?
Send yourself into his den, and he will know exactly what you say, what you do, and where you are going.
Fortunately, for a moment she really thought that he was a man of his words.
Ignoring the shopkeeper's greeting, he carried her straight to the room where she lived.
The moment she stepped into the door, Yingsi couldn't help but grit her teeth and said, "Master Wei, didn't you even go back to the inn?"
Wei Xuanzhi paused, lowered his eyes, and said calmly: "This governor doesn't like the feeling of being out of control."
Yingsi laughed angrily, and she really laughed.
"So you're just spying on me?"
Wei Xuanzhi curled his lips and started walking again: "Everyone who entered the city with me has been scheduled to die tonight. Do you really think that letting you go is a good thing?"
Yingsi looked up in surprise. Was this an explanation? It was so strange that he actually opened his mouth to explain.
"What about Lady Jin? Is she still alive?"
Wei Xuanzhi put her on the bed and ordered gently, "Lie down."
Then he replied to her: "She is the bait, we won't let her die easily."
Yingsi turned over obediently, folded her hands under her head, tilted her head and continued to ask: "Then why did you go when you knew it was the Hongmen Feast?"
The shopkeeper just came in with medicine. He nodded slightly as a gesture. The shopkeeper glanced at Yingsi lying on the bed, then quickly put down the medicine and left.
Wei Xuanzhi sat on the edge of the bed and felt around her back with his palm. Before she could cry out in pain, he couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Where is the injury?"
Yingsi then remembered that she had to act pitiful, so she took out a hand and pointed at the place where her clothes were torn.
"here."
Wei Xuanzhi used his fingertips to pick up the torn fabric and took a look. There was indeed a red mark as long as a finger inside. If you didn't look closely, it would be difficult to find.
"Is this your wound?"
Yingsi looked away guiltily, and murmured on the back of her hand: "Are minor injuries not considered injuries? If it was a little later, there would be no need for adults to check my injuries, and they would have directly collected the body."
Understanding her little thoughts, Wei Xuanzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, withdrew his hand, slowly adjusted his wristband, and suddenly stood up.
"Got it. I owe you my life."
Yingsi sat up immediately, grabbed his shirt hem, and asked sincerely, "Aren't you curious?"
Only when she brought it up herself did Wei Xuanzhi turn around leisurely, put his hands behind his back and look at her intently.
"If the Governor asked, would you tell the truth?"
Yingsi answered without hesitation: "No."
Wei Xuan understood and looked away.
Yingsi asked again: "How did you find out that I was fake?"
This question is related to what she should pay attention to when using cards in the future.
Wei Xuanzhi didn't intend to hide it, so he walked up to her, held her wrist, and then took off her sleeves.
A healed scar the size of a fingernail is clearly visible on it.
"Although I can change my face, the marks on my body are still there."
Yingsi looked down at the scar, and something suddenly occurred to her mind, and she said in surprise:
"So when you saw this in Changqiu Palace that night, you were sure that I was the assassin."
Wei Xuanzhi did not comment, obviously agreeing.
"Then why don't you expose it?"
After pulling down her sleeves, he replied calmly: "The Queen will not order the poisoning of the Imperial Concubine, and besides..."
He paused, looking directly at her with his narrow eyes: "I am indeed a little curious, how could an ordinary woman who was pierced through the body be unharmed."
Yingsi raised an eyebrow: "Now that you've seen something even stranger, what are you going to do? Kill me, or stay away from me?"
Wei Xuanzhi blinked lightly, as if he was thinking about this question seriously, but he smiled the next moment, revealing a dark emotion in his eyes.
"Aunt Yingsi, didn't you say you liked me? Why are you thinking all this?"
Yingsi took a deep breath and exhaled slowly:
"No matter how much I like you, I still have to consider my own safety. What if you want to kill me? Wouldn't it be dangerous to stay with you? In that case, why don't I think of a way to stay away from you?"
As if he heard a joke, his eyes dimmed instantly, but a faint smile hung at the corner of his mouth.
"Weren't you the one who approached me on your own initiative..."
He moved closer and closer, staring at her like a beast locking onto a skinny prey that couldn't escape.
"When did I ever say that you can come and go freely around me?"
Yes, during the more than half a month she had been with him, although he would occasionally show a terrifying expression and would childishly and deliberately scare her, he had never killed her.
So much so that she almost forgot the fear she felt when she first started getting along with him.
He was the one who really wanted to kill her, so how could she start to let her guard down and actually naively believe that he was not that cruel.
But she never thought that he had never hit her because she had not done anything bad to him so far, and she was even trying to please him without any shame.
If she really did something that made him angry one day, would he kill her like he did last time?
So she lowered her eyes and pulled at his shirt to bring him closer until his breath was close to her cheek.
"If your Excellency says so... I would mistakenly think that you have fallen in love with me."
