Kill the sadistic male protagonist and become the emperor

Chapter 120 Drink more hot water

The onlookers all lamented: "If I had known that I could have Madam Si bandage my wounds myself, I would have preferred it to be me who got stabbed."

His friend pushed him and said, "Wake up! Only a woman could get close to Lady Si."

The man complained, "Can't you even bear the thought? I really don't know what it feels like to be held by a soft hand like Lady Si. I can't bear it anymore. I can't bear it even just thinking about it."

As he said this, he impatiently hugged the woman beside him and went into the house.

Ren Baozhi was now only concerned with verifying whether Si Jiangchou and the man in black were the same person, so she completely ignored what the people around her said and did and just followed Si Jiangchou into the room.

She carefully felt the warmth of his palm against hers.

Your hands shouldn't be this cold at this time of year.

However, if the person in front of me had a poisonous insect in his body, everything would be explainable.

It was not until Si Jiangchou led her into the room and the sound of the door closing that Ren Baozhi was pulled out of her thoughts.

Ren Baozhi said casually, "Madam Si's hands are quite cold."

Si Jiangchou smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Madam Yingxi. Chou'er has been weak since childhood, so naturally I'm more afraid of the cold than ordinary people."

Ren Baozhi said perfunctorily: "Drink more hot water."

"Thank you for your concern, Madam Yingxi," Si Jiangchou led her to sit on the couch and took out a medicine box from the cabinet. "Chou'er will apply medicine to Madam Yingxi."

Ren Baozhi watched her movements and said, "Madam Si, please don't worry about this minor injury. Madam Si's guards are quite interesting. They can outnumber me and still let me escape unscathed. Their injuries are like tickling, not painful at all."

"I just said that everyone who comes is a guest. We never really hurt our guests," Si Jiangchou said, as if he hadn't heard what Ren Baozhi said before, and continued to open the medicine box. "I just don't know why Madam Yingxi is so anxious. You bringing people with you so blatantly is really embarrassing for us. We didn't say we wouldn't give them to you, did we?"

Ren Baozhi let Si Jiangchou unbutton her shirt and asked, "Can you give me the person?"

Si Jiangchou's gaze fell on the wound on Ren Baozhi's shoulder. "There are priorities. Chou'er will treat Madam Yingxi's wound first. We can discuss returning her later."

Ren Baozhi followed Si Jiangchou's gaze and looked at her left shoulder.

"Madam Si, do you think my blood is sweet?" She paused deliberately.

Si Jiangchou covered his lips and chuckled softly, then looked up at her with a puzzled expression: "Human blood always tastes fishy. I wonder what Madam Yingxiong means by this?"

Ren Baozhi raised her eyebrows slightly: "Madam Si, from what you said, you must have seen a lot of human blood."

"It's rather strange that Madam Yingxiong is being so vague today," Si Jiangchou said with a half-smile, "For prostitutes like us, there are always customers who play with us, and all we see is the blood on our own bodies."

"Isn't Madam Si still under the age of marriage?"

"It's because Chou'er doesn't have to entertain guests that she has time to treat her sisters' wounds."

The door was opened, and two servants walked into the room, each carrying a basin of water, and then quietly retreated.

Si Jiangchou first washed her hands in one of the basins, then took out a clean white handkerchief, dipped it in clear water from the other basin, and wiped the skin around Ren Baozhi's wound. "This water is all boiled."

Ren Baozhi watched Si Jiangchou treating her wound without saying a word.

Si Jiangchou picked up a small pot and gently poured water on the wound of Ren Baozhi: "The wound is quite deep."

Perhaps because she was so focused on cleaning, the distance between them became closer and closer. Such a close distance caused the fear hidden deep in Ren Baozhi's heart to suddenly surge out.

It was the fear of being treated as a prey and being played with in someone's hands.

She stood up suddenly and pushed away Si Jiangchou's hand that was about to apply medicine on her.

Si Jiangchou looked frightened, "Madam Yingxi, what are you doing?"

Ren Baozhi also felt that she was too frightened. She didn't expect that what happened that night would leave such a deep mark in her heart. The fear was hidden so deep that she didn't even realize it.

She said calmly, "I won't bother Madam Si with such trivial matters."

Si Jiangchou didn't insist this time. He put down the medicine bottle in his hand and smiled as usual: "Okay, let the other ladies handle it for you."

She called out, "Mother."

Wei Yanyi pushed the door open and walked in: "Madam Yingxi, please follow me."

Ren Baozhi didn't look at Wei Yanyi, but stared straight at Si Jiangchou: "Madam Si is really a place full of hidden talents. Not only are the guards highly skilled in martial arts, but even the ladies are proficient in medicine."

"The doctors in the capital are not willing to treat prostitutes like us. We women are doctors through long-term illnesses," Si Jiangchou said without looking up, busy packing her medicine box. "If we get sick, how will we make a living?"

She finally packed up the medicine box and looked at Ren Baozhi: "Madam Yingxi, is that right?"

Ren Baozhi just curled the corner of his lips, and it was unclear whether he believed it or not.

Seeing Ren Baozhi turning around to leave, Si Jiangchou suddenly asked softly, "My dear Yingxi, will you come on the day Chou'er comes of age?"

Ren Baozhi had already stepped out of the threshold with her right foot. When she heard these words, she paused for a moment, but did not give an answer. She just stepped out with her left foot and followed Wei Yanyi out of the threshold.

Less than half an incense stick of time passed before the door was pushed open again. The person who came was Wei Yanyi, who was leading Ren Baozhi out.

She put away the smile that had always been on her face and respectfully presented a porcelain bottle with both hands: "Madam, the blood is obtained."

Si Jiangchou took the porcelain bottle. Although the bottle was cold, she felt warm. "You and Miaoting did a good job today."

Wei Yanyi said modestly, "I don't deserve it. I will do my best to complete what my lady has ordered."

"Well," Si Jiangchou thought of the two injured guards, "even though they only used 50% of their strength..."

Wei Yanyi knelt down and said, "I will find someone to fill the vacancies of the guards. From now on, I will make them train twice as hard and will never let my lady down."

"Get up," Si Jiangchou said, "There are countless eyes watching us from inside and outside the courtyard. Don't let anyone notice anything."

Wei Yanyi stood up: "As you wish."

Si Jiangchou walked slowly to the end of the bed. Hanging on the wall was the painting of Qujiang Solitary Snow that he had painted today.

She opened the painting and pressed a hidden mechanism behind it, and the floor at the end of the bed slowly opened to the side.

A dark secret passage suddenly appeared before my eyes.
