Chapter 564 The Villainous Female Supporting Character Who Impersonated the Tyrant's Savior 19
Meng Zixu's expression suddenly changed, his dark and deep eyes filled with ruthlessness and gloom.
Make him kneel?
How dare he!
The two guards disguised as servants outside the door could no longer contain their anger and gritted their teeth.
That damned scoundrel actually made his master kneel before him!
How could he be so arrogant!
The two wanted to rush in and kill Xia Xizhi, but without Meng Zixu's instructions, they dared not act rashly and could only curse inwardly.
......
"Is the Prime Minister really as arrogant as the rumors say?" Meng Zixu sneered, his whole body filled with a sinister aura, his tone dark and deliberate.
"I am the heir of the Marquis of Zhenyuan's mansion, a first-rank general. You expect me to kneel? Can the Prime Minister accept that?"
Xia Xizhi gave an arrogant chuckle and slowly uttered a few words.
"The lives of the Meng family are in my hands. Do you think I, young general, can afford to accept this?"
Meng Zixu's eyes suddenly darkened.
"Does the Prime Minister mean that if I kneel, you will spare the Meng family?"
Xia Xizhi: "As I said, one must have the proper attitude when asking for a favor."
Meng Zixu pressed his thin lips together, his long, sharp eyes fixed on Xia Xizhi, without saying a word.
A moment later, he slowly knelt in front of her.
His lowered eyelashes concealed the murderous intent in his eyes.
If he could truly spare the Meng family, what did it matter if he knelt? He was never one to be unable to lower himself.
But if he dares to lie to him, he will make him wish he were dead!
Xia Xizhi raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled a little.
"General Meng is truly flexible and adaptable."
As he spoke, he clicked his tongue twice and lifted his chin with one finger.
He said sarcastically.
"I never expected that General Meng, who has repeatedly distinguished himself on the battlefield and is the young man secretly admired by the young ladies of the capital, would kneel at my feet. Tell me, wouldn't those girls be greatly disappointed if they saw their beloved general kneeling at the feet of this treacherous minister?"
The two guards outside the door gritted their teeth and their eyes reddened upon hearing this.
The master has been wronged.
They will surely avenge their master for such humiliation in the future!
"Do you feel humiliated?"
Xia Xizhi pinched Meng Zixu's chin, forcing him to look up at her.
"Never," Meng Zixu replied, his tone devoid of any emotion.
Xia Xizhi smiled, a smile as gentle as a wind chime.
"General Meng is quite sensible; he's learned his lesson so quickly."
"Get up."
Meng Zixu stood up, and Xia Xizhi rose from his seat, approached, and placed his hand on the bandage wrapped around Meng Zixu's chest, gently poking it.
Meng Zixu's body stiffened abruptly, his eyes flashed, and he immediately stopped breathing.
Her hand traced his chest, down his abs, and then down to his V-line...
Meng Zixu's lower abdomen tensed instantly, and he looked down at those slender, fair hands, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
What will he do next...?
Xia Xizhi did nothing more than withdraw her hand.
"get out."
"It is impossible for me to release the Meng family. The evidence in the case is conclusive. Tomorrow, the case will be closed and the property confiscated. Everyone in the Meng family will lose their heads."
"you!"
Meng Zixu's expression changed drastically, and he gritted his teeth.
The veins on his arms were bulging, and he was about to snap Xia Xizhi's neck in the next second.
Xia Xizhi glanced at him and said lightly,
"Take men to break into the prison at midnight tomorrow. Someone will drug the Imperial Guards. You only have one night. Whether you succeed or not depends on your skills."
Meng Zixu's heart skipped a beat.
Does he mean to give him a chance to break out of prison?
"Is the Prime Minister playing a joke on me?"
Meng Zixu's dark eyes, hidden beneath his mask, stared intently into Xia Xizhi's eyes, trying to find a flaw in her gaze.
Although he asked this question, a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in his heart. He inexplicably felt that his Meng family might truly be saved, and that his mother, younger brother, and those innocent servants would not have to be beheaded...
Xia Xizhi did not answer his question.
Sometimes, people can appear more profound and mysterious by speaking less.
As Xia Xizhi turned to leave, she glanced at him and said,
"I prefer those who submit willingly, and I disdain coercion. General Meng, next time you need my help, this arrogant attitude won't do; you'll need to soften your stance a bit..."
After saying that, he pushed open the door and left.
Meng Zixu paused.
I watched Xia Xizhi's departing figure with deep emotion...
His thoughts were in disarray, and he didn't notice that Xia Xizhi had stolen the jade pendant from his waist.
The two bodyguards who were playing the role of servants at the door quickly entered the room after Xia Xi came downstairs.
"Master, you've been wronged!"
"Once we find an opportunity, I will definitely kill that scoundrel!" one of the guards said through gritted teeth.
Meng Zixu waved his hand, saying as he dressed,
"Go and call An Qing and Cheng Hu up here."
"Yes."
After the two men came up and heard Meng Zixu's description, Cheng Hu slammed his fist on the table.
"Master, don't believe that scoundrel! He's always been cunning; he's just waiting for you to walk right into his trap! He's utterly despicable! What he did today was to humiliate you! Anqing, am I right?"
An Qing pondered for a moment, then shook her head.
"It's true he humiliated his master, but his words might not be entirely untrue. Tomorrow, before midnight, we can arrange for someone to keep watch, and then probe him at midnight..."
"Does the master believe him or not?"
"Whether you believe it or not, you should give it a try."
Meng Zixu stood at the window, his gaze fixed on Xia Xizhi, who had already left Xiangfeng Restaurant and was walking down the street. His eyes were deep and unfathomable.
In the past, he definitely wouldn't have believed it.
But after getting up close to him, he actually started to believe what he said.
Moreover, he became even more suspicious that he was actually a woman...
Meng Zixu narrowed his eyes slightly.
We'll find out tonight whether it's a man or a woman.
He was given a colorless and odorless secret medicine from the Northern Witch Clan.
If the antidote is not taken beforehand, the medicine will gradually take effect when it comes into contact with water during bathing.
It causes mental confusion and increased libido, similar to a hallucinogenic aphrodisiac.
Then we'll know whether he's a man or a woman...
......
As Xia Xizhi emerged from Xiangfeng Restaurant, she glanced down at the jade pendant hidden in her sleeve, a slight smile playing on her lips before quickly concealing it.
A moment later, she used the jade pendant to threaten Gao Yu into signing and affixing his seal.
She really couldn't bring herself to threaten him with that chubby little boy. He was still so young; she didn't want to cause him any psychological trauma.
"You traitor! You dare to go out on the street!"
Xia Xizhi had only taken a few steps when an elderly woman selling vegetables hit him on the head with a clump of vegetable leaves...
Seeing this, the surrounding villagers swarmed forward, pointing their fingers at Xia Xizhi and cursing him.
"You treacherous dog! You ransacked General Meng's house! You're a truly vicious traitor! I think you're the one who's a traitor who colludes with the enemy and betrays the country!"
"That's right! You're the traitor, go to hell!"
"General Meng sacrificed his life for the country and the people. What are you? You're just a smooth talker!"
They cursed and threw rotten vegetable leaves at Xia Xizhi, instantly blocking the road.
Xia Xizhi sighed inwardly; in his excitement, he had become careless...
I forgot I should have taken the shortcut.
Just then, Zheng Baozhu, dressed in cherry pink, ran over, pushed through the crowd, and spread her arms to protect Xia Xizhi behind her.
"Sir, I'm rather fat, please hide behind me."
After saying that, he immediately turned around, put his hands on his hips, and started cursing.
"And what are you! Yes, you're nothing! You're just a bunch of idiots, &%￥@@!"
"Your Excellency, you are handling the case according to the law. With conclusive evidence, what's wrong with confiscating the property and sealing the residence?!"
