Poisonous Goddess: I'm just lazing around in the mortal realm.

"I didn't expect you to come looking for me." Thirteen walked expressionlessly to the bamboo woven square table next to the bamboo chair and poured a cup of tea for Yi Sisi.

Since she moved into this courtyard, she has found that sleeping in the courtyard is the most pleasant thing for her.

I specially went to the market and bought a square table, which fits perfectly here. When no one is around to disturb me, I can enjoy some snacks and tea, which is quite pleasant.

Yi Sisi bit her lip, as if the bitter emotions in her heart could no longer be suppressed, and she knelt down on the ground with a thud, saying, "Please help me, sir!"

Upon hearing this, Thirteen was taken aback and turned around to see Yi Sisi kneeling on the ground, holding a cup of tea. He quickly went forward to help her up.

"Why are you kneeling before me? That day I was impolite to you, and I drugged you first." She originally thought that Yi Sisi came to see her because of the incident where she had tampered with Zuixianlou and drugged someone first.

"It's not because of that. I came here because I need your help, sir." Yi Sisi knelt on the ground with a firm attitude, refusing Thirteen's kindness, not caring at all that the pebbles on the ground had already worn her knees raw.

"Beg me? I'm just a traveling doctor. You don't need to kneel if you want to see a doctor." Seeing that Yi Sisi had no intention of getting up, Thirteen had no choice but to squat down. Only then did he see that Yi Sisi, who was not wearing any makeup, had already cried her face.

"I beg you, sir... to help me prepare a colorless and odorless poison. I want to avenge my family." Yi Sisi choked up, feeling that she could not say anything. She could only kowtow to Thirteen.

"Get up first, or I won't agree to your request." Thirteen, relying on his manhood, still forcibly helped her up. If he let her kneel down like that, he would lose at least ten years of his lifespan.

After helping Yi Sisi onto the bamboo chair, Thirteen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "It's just about getting medicine from me, there's no need to kneel like this. But you have to tell me the reason, otherwise I can't help you."

Thirteen poured her another cup of tea and handed it to her. Yi Sisi looked down at the teacup in her hand. The bitterness she wanted to swallow suddenly burst forth again, and tears fell into the teacup.

"I was originally the daughter of the prefect of Jiangnan. My father was unjustly imprisoned, and our family fell into ruin. I originally wanted to go to the capital to petition for my father's exoneration, but unexpectedly, I was harmed by villains and sold into the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. I was prepared to accept my fate." Yi Sisi lowered her head and sobbed, but after calming down, she continued...

"At Zuixianlou, I overheard that Vice Minister Xu of the court had colluded with a governor of Jiangnan to frame my father. I have recently heard that you are the miracle doctor who cured the Third Prince, so I have taken the liberty of visiting you to ask for your help. I want to poison Vice Minister Xu."

Thirteen narrowed his eyes, making it impossible to discern the emotions in them, but his voice remained cold.

What benefit would I get from helping you?

It wasn't that she was unwilling to help; she had seen too many stories of fathers being wrongfully imprisoned and women being framed and forced into prostitution. Ultimately, she didn't want to get too involved in the complexities of Nanyang; she just wanted to find the Demon Lord as soon as possible.

Yi Sisi raised her watery eyes, tears still clinging to the corners, looking pitiful and heartbreaking. She hurriedly pulled out a large bag of silver jewelry from her bosom, all the money she had received while enduring hardship at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

"I can give you all my money. I only need one set." Although the murderous intent in Yi Sisi's eyes flashed by, Thirteen easily caught it. Thirteen examined the bag that Yi Sisi handed over.

Yi Sisi is now the most famous courtesan at Zuixianlou, and the rewards she receives are already countless. However, Thirteen suddenly smiled and pointed towards the courtyard gate...

"Did you see that box? It was a gift from the Third Prince, and I haven't even opened it. Money can't buy what you want, I'm sorry."

Thirteen wanted to get up and leave; she really didn't want to get involved in mortal affairs.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Yi Sisi grabbed her arm tightly.

"I have another piece of news! I wonder if I can exchange it with you, sir." Yi Sisi grasped at this as if it were her last straw. She had overheard this news while serving those adults. She wasn't sure if the news was accurate, but she had no way out now and could only exchange this ambiguous news for poison.

Thirteen's eyes flickered, and after a moment he looked down thoughtfully at Yi Sisi.

It seems she underestimated this woman; she had indeed been hiding something.

She turned and sat back down, raising an eyebrow at her. "What news is worth switching my medication?"

Yi Sisi wiped away the tears that were still wet on her face with her hand and said in a low voice, "I served the young master of the Duke of Anguo's mansion some time ago."

"Duke Anguo?" Thirteen frowned slightly, feeling as if he had heard the name somewhere before.

"Yes, An Jingwei, the young master of the Duke of Anguo's mansion, got drunk in my room that day and accidentally let slip that his father had asked him to steal some blueprints and keys from the Zhou family. He even mocked the Zhou family for being useless, saying they hadn't discovered the theft after two months."

As Yi Sisi spoke, she secretly observed Thirteen's expression, but Thirteen's calm demeanor surprised her.

As for Thirteen, she didn't have much time to care about the key. She was only slightly stunned when she heard that it was about the Zhou family.

"Which Zhou family? Lord Zhou Yong, the Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices?" Among the families with the surname Zhou that she could recognize, the only one was the Zhou Jinghuai family.

"It should be." Yi Sisi nodded. She couldn't quite tell whether Thirteen's tone meant he would grant her request or not.

Thirteen got up and paced around the courtyard for a few moments.

If this news is true, then something was stolen from Zhou Jinghuai's side. The young master of the Duke of Anguo's mansion personally went to steal it, so it shouldn't be something as superficial as gold and silver jewelry. It must be something important.

Thinking of this, Thirteen turned to meet Yi Sisi's gaze, making no attempt to hide the scrutiny and pressure in her eyes.

"Come to me in five days to collect the poison. That day is the Emperor's birthday, and I believe you will have an easier time succeeding then."

"Thank you, sir!" Yi Sisi concealed the fierceness in her eyes and quickly stood up to express her gratitude.

Thirteen glanced at her thoughtfully, then turned and went into the house.

"Remember to close the door behind you."

At this moment, she didn't care whether the news was true or false. She just remembered the Emperor's Birthday Festival. If she guessed correctly, the Taoist priest would most likely appear on that day.

She raised her right hand, and the compass pendant she wore appeared in her mind.

She stroked the compass pendant in her hand, her eyes filled with an inscrutable expression, her emotions unreadable.

If she were to actually see the Taoist priest disguised as the Demon Lord on the Emperor's birthday, she would do everything in her power to save his life.

No matter the cost, it is a mission she must complete.
