First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Su Jixiang felt that this night was particularly long.

She let out a sigh of relief only when she knew the sky was turning pale.

Because of his weak constitution, Wei Ling fell asleep before dawn.

He was now poisoned and was relying on the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill to stay alive. Of course, he didn't have much energy, and it was already amazing that he could last most of the night.

Guihua knocked on the door and walked in in the morning. Seeing Wei Ling still asleep, she said to Su Jixiang, "Madam, the city is still a little uneasy right now. Maybe we have to wait here a little longer today."

"No problem." Su Jixiang walked around Wei Ling, got out of bed, and tidied himself up a little. "How is Doctor Zhou doing? I'll go check it out."

"But it would be dangerous to go out now." Guihua frowned and said, "The prince will not let Madam take risks herself."

"It's okay. You can disguise yourself, right? Help me put on some makeup and I'll go in a different look." Su Jixiang was really worried about Wei Ling and wanted to know how Zhou Ziqi was doing, so he wanted to go and see for himself. "If Doctor Zhou has prepared the medicine, we'll bring it back directly."

No one knows about this place except the secret guards. Moreover, not all the secret guards know about it. Only people Wei Ling trusts know about this place. So if he can disguise himself and get out of here, there will be no big problem.

Zhou Ziqi is a doctor, so it is not surprising for someone to visit him.

Su Jixiang thought that Zhou Ziqi probably had little time to rest and eat because he was helping Wei Ling prepare the antidote, so she simply used the kitchen of this house to make something.

In order to hide from the public, this house has always been occupied by people, and the people living there are also secret guards of the Wei family, so there are all kinds of things in the kitchen.

Su Jixiang made some pancakes with what she had in the kitchen. She also fried some egg sauce with eggs and bean paste. Egg sauce is easy to make. Just crack the eggs, add some bean paste and a proper amount of water, stir well, heat the pan, pour a little oil, add chopped green onions to make the oil fragrant, pour the mixture of egg liquid and bean paste directly into the pan, stir constantly, don't burn the bottom of the pan, wait for the water inside to dry up, and a fragrant egg sauce is ready. This egg sauce is very nutritious and delicious whether it is served with pancakes or directly with porridge.

Su Jixiang put the cooked porridge into a jar, put the egg sauce in a bowl, wrapped the pancakes he had made earlier with dry lotus leaves, and found a basket to put the pancakes in.

She also left a portion in the pot so that if Wei Ling woke up later, he could eat some directly.

Guihua took out her disguise tools and applied a layer of base paint on Su Jixiang's face. After applying it for a while, without smiling for half an incense stick of time, Su Jixiang changed from a beautiful girl to a woman with a sallow complexion and a sickly look.

Guihua found a set of half-new clothes for Su Jixiang to wear, then painted her hands yellow and drew some white hair in her hair.

"Amazing." Su Jixiang looked at herself in the mirror. She had changed so much that even she hardly recognized herself.

"I will go with the lady." Guihua had already disguised herself. She painted herself to look a little older than Su Jixiang, so she looked like an old woman.

Two people walked out through the back door.

This alley was originally quiet, and now it was early in the morning, so there were even fewer people walking around.

After the two people walked out, they were no different from other early risers.

There are people watching Wei Ling, so Su Jixianghe is relieved.

Zhou Ziqi lived not far away, and Wei Ling had his own considerations when he made such an arrangement. It can be said that Wei Ling always thinks three steps ahead before doing anything.

There were also secret guards arranged by Wei Ling to protect Zhou Ziqi's residence.

After all, everyone knows the relationship between Zhou Ziqi and Wei Ling. If anything happens to Wei Ling, he will definitely ask Zhou Ziqi to treat him. Now they are using Wei Ling's poisoning as an excuse to lure the snake out of its hole, so Zhou Ziqi's safety is also very important.

Fortunately, so far, no rebels have come to Zhou Ziqi to cause trouble.

But it's better to be prepared.

When Su Jixiang and Guihua were walking on the road, they felt that Mangcheng today looked very different from usual.

There are fewer pedestrians on the road, and although it seems very calm at the moment, there are many more soldiers patrolling the streets.

The shops along the street were still open, but because the number of patrolling soldiers increased and a group of people passed by from time to time, the bustling atmosphere of the city seemed much weaker, and instead added a bit of tension.

Mangcheng is also a border city, so the common people in the city have experienced wars and know that if the army patrols like this, something might happen in the city, so they try not to go out if possible.

The street, which should be very busy in the early morning, now seems very deserted.

However, because Su Jixiang and Guihua disguised themselves very skillfully, and the two of them supported each other and carried a basket, there really was nothing wrong with them.

However, a team of patrolling soldiers stopped to ask Su Jixiang and Guihua when they saw them, "What do you do?"

"Replying to this military officer," Guihua said in an authentic Mangcheng accent, "A relative in this family is seriously ill, and I came out to take a look."

"What's in the basket?" asked the soldier on horseback.

"Oh, I brought some food for my relatives." Guihua quickly brought the basket over, uncovered the cloth covering the basket, and showed it to the officers and soldiers. "It's just some homely white porridge, pancakes, and a bowl of sauce."

After looking at it, the soldier nodded and said, "Go quickly. Don't go out again after you go back. There have been things happening in the city these days." The two women, with such food, didn't look like spies at all. What's more, the women spoke the authentic Mangcheng dialect.

They actually didn't know what was going on in the army. They just received orders to patrol the streets and question everyone they met to prevent spies.

Xie Yingfeng did not want to exaggerate the matter and only told others that it was a secret investigation. Only the leaders of these soldiers knew what they were investigating.

"Yes, yes, thank you for your reminder, General!" Guihua quickly covered the basket and stepped on it, then smiled and nodded to the officer, "Then General, we are leaving now."

"We can't leave this place," said the soldier.

"I know, I know. We know that the city is under martial law. We won't leave the neighborhood. Our relatives' home is not far ahead." Guihua said.

Xie Yingfeng has already issued a curfew, which means people in one area cannot go to another area. Mangcheng is divided and managed according to the districts, and if anyone runs around, they will be arrested directly.

Fortunately, Wei Ling had taken all this into consideration at the beginning, so the properties he acquired were all centered around the same neighborhood.
