Chapter 111 The Girl from the Western Regions
Wang Ma naturally did not dare to neglect the God of Wealth, and came up to greet him personally, her face full of flattery, "My lord, you are here. What are you here for..."
Li Siqi didn't want to waste time talking to Wang Ma, so he threw a purse over again, "I heard that you have a new courtesan here, it's her, let her come to see me."
Wang Ma hurriedly took the purse. The heavy feel made the wrinkles on Wang Ma's face deepen. "Yes, yes, Xiaohan is waiting in the room. I'll take you there right away."
As she spoke, Aunt Wang led the way, leading Li Siqi and Xu Yingying to the top floor, introducing them as they walked.
"This Xiaohan is a girl who just came to our Yihong Courtyard not long ago. Her last name is Zhang. She is a mixed-race girl and looks a bit like a girl from the Western Regions."
"But she has a hot temper and has been here for a short time. We haven't had time to discipline her. If she offends you, you can punish her. We in Yihong Courtyard have never tolerated disobedient girls."
When they arrived at the door of the private room, Li Siqi handed Wang Ma another purse, left a message "This is a reward for you," and pushed the door open and walked in.
Xu Yingying followed behind him, nodded slightly to Wang Ma, and walked in, closing the door and isolating Wang Ma from the outside. Wang Ma didn't care about Li Siqi's attitude towards her, her mind and eyes were full of the two purses.
Zhang Xiaohan was originally sitting in front of the dressing table with her back to the door. When she heard the noise, she slowly stood up. The moment she saw her face, Xu Yingying was a little dazed.
There was no other reason, it was just that the woman in front of them was so beautiful. She was a mixed-race of Central Plains and Western Regions, with a strong exotic charm. Her lightly made-up face smiled slightly when she saw them, and she was stunningly beautiful. No wonder she could stand out from the crowd of beauties in the Yihong Courtyard.
Zhang Xiaohan was very satisfied with the expression on Xu Yingying's face, but Li Siqi seemed to be accustomed to it. He had a blank expression on his face. He sat casually at the table and tapped the table lightly twice.
Xu Yingying suddenly came back to her senses and sat down next to Li Siqi with an embarrassed look on her face.
Zhang Xiaohan straightened his body casually and said, "The young master is here as expected." Then he poured a cup of tea for each of the two people in front of him.
Hearing this, Xu Yingying looked at Li Siqi in surprise, and the water that had just entered her mouth almost sprayed out.
"Your Highness, do you know this girl too?"
Li Siqi did not comment and said to Zhang Xiaohan, "Sit down."
"You should know why I came to see you today, right?"
"Please explain it to me, sir. Xiaohan is stupid and I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean."
"Then I'll be frank. I need you to help me find an antidote for the cold poison that is unique to the Western Regions." Li Siqi didn't want to beat around the bush with her.
Xu Yingying observed Zhang Xiaohan carefully. Zhang Xiaohan's face froze for a moment, then relaxed.
"Sir, if you are looking for an antidote for the cold poison, I think you have come to the wrong person. I am from the Western Regions, but I am just the daughter of a commoner family. I really cannot come into contact with something like the cold poison."
Zhang Xiaohan paused for a moment, then continued, "Young Master, if you know about the cold poison, you should also know that the cold poison is used by nobles in the Western Regions to make money and kill people. As for the antidote, it is also controlled by the nobles. How can a small ordinary girl like me get access to it?"
Li Siqi did not find it strange, nor did he get angry, when faced with Zhang Xiaohan's refusal.
But when Xu Yingying heard the word "cold poison", her eyes unconsciously looked at Li Siqi.
She knew that Li Siqi had the cold poison, but she thought that Li Siqi didn't care about it. Now it seems that he has been looking for the whereabouts of the antidote for the cold poison.
Thinking of this, Xu Yingying sighed. In fact, if the cold poison is placed in modern times, it is not considered a deadly poison.
However, in ancient times when nothing was developed, things like cold poison could shackle a person's life. The most vicious thing about this poison is that it is particularly torturous when it takes effect, so it is also loved by dignitaries.
Xu Yingying also wanted to detoxify Li Siqi, but with her current medical skills, she could only alleviate the symptoms but not eradicate them.
Recently, Li Siqi's cold poison attacks have become more frequent, and every time the poison attacks, Li Siqi is in great pain.
Xu Yingying knew that this had already entered the late stage. If the poison was not detoxified, the consequences would be disastrous. This was why Li Siqi accelerated his progress.
Li Siqi took a sip of tea and didn't buy Zhang Xiaohan's complaints. "Oh? It seems that Miss Zhang is not sincere in cooperating with me? As far as I know, your mother is a noble from the Western Regions, and your father is just a merchant from the Central Plains to the Western Regions."
"Your parents fell in love at first sight, but your mother's family did not agree with this marriage. They forced your father to death. Your mother risked her life to save you and loved you immensely. I think you should be able to get the antidote."
Seeing that Li Siqi had revealed his life story, Zhang Xiaohan could no longer pretend, and his face instantly darkened, "Young Master, are you investigating me?"
"Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated. I only have one life, so I have to know some details about my partners. Otherwise, if they stab me in the back in the future, it will be a loss, right? Don't you agree, Miss Zhang?"
Li Siqi is the ninth prince after all, and the aura around him is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Only then did Zhang Xiaohan realize that the man in front of her was not like those idiots she had met before. Li Siqi was very difficult to deal with.
Zhang Xiaohan forced a smile and said, "I didn't expect that you know me so well. If I didn't know that this is only the second time we have met, I would have thought that you have fallen in love with me." Zhang Xiaohan smiled coquettishly.
Xu Yingying just felt disgusted and inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart, but she still didn't say anything. She just wanted to see what Li Siqi would say.
"Miss, you are joking. Of course, I won't ask for your help for nothing. If there is anything I can help you with, just let me know." Li Siqi said distantly.
"Since you have said so, I will not refuse. I have something that I really need your help with. Judging from your demeanor, I think you are not a person from this small Jun County."
Zhang Xiaohan changed his tone and proposed his own conditions, "Of course, I came to the Central Plains this time not to stay in this small Jun County. I want to go to the capital, but the capital is not easy to enter. I need you to help me enter the capital."
"I think this small request of mine is not too much for you, young master." Zhang Xiaohan stared into Li Siqi's eyes.
Li Siqi chuckled, "Miss Zhang didn't even ask where I was from, and she asked me to help you get to the capital. What if I'm not from the capital? Then wouldn't Miss Zhang have made a mistake?"
