Chapter 130 The Cold-blooded Supervisor of the East Factory vs. the Vicious Aunt in the Deep Palace
The curve of his profile was smooth and natural. Even if he didn't look over, one could imagine how attractive he was just by looking at that half of his face.
Obviously, he stands out among the officials who are fat or have a shabby appearance.
Hearing the words of the official opposite him, Wei Xuanzhi blinked slowly, and then glanced sideways as if casually.
Perhaps it was because he never took people who posed no threat to him seriously. He half-lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes hid the tiny light in his eyes. When his body was motionless, he looked like a flawless work of art.
Yingsi held the tray respectfully, bowed slightly, and then walked slowly towards Wei Xuanzhi with her eyes lowered.
He was the only one in the entire Zhongtang East Factory. Seeing her getting closer and closer to Wei Xuanzhi, the people around her became more and more expectant.
When she was only one step away from him, Yingsi hesitated for a moment, and the person opposite her became visibly nervous.
Wei Xuanzhi didn't seem to notice anything and still sat upright with one hand hanging on his leg.
When I got closer, I could already smell the faint aroma of alcohol on him. It seemed that he had already had a drink.
"Sir, please drink." She bent down slightly, supported her wrist and let the wine jug tilt slowly.
The moment the wine entered the glass, time seemed to stand still. At the huge banquet, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of wine flowing out of the pot in Yingsi's hand.
The cup was seven-tenths full, and Yingsi's hand stopped.
Wei Xuanzhi watched all this quietly, his face calm.
Seeing Yingsi step back, Song Zhihui took the lead in raising his glass.
"I'd like to toast to you, sir. You're tired from the journey." After saying that, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
In order to show his sincerity, he even turned the wine glass upside down to indicate that he had finished drinking it.
What I mean is, it's your turn next.
Wei Xuanzhi raised the corners of his eyebrows slightly and glanced at the wine glass in front of him.
Everyone in the room was staring at his every move, and beads of sweat were already appearing on the forehead of the official who was unable to handle the pressure.
Wei Xuanzhi was slow to act, and Song Zhihui became anxious. He turned his gaze to Yingsi and frowned, "Don't you have eyes? My Lord is tired, why don't you serve me a drink?"
Yingsi lowered her head slightly and replied "yes", then took a step forward and knelt at Wei Xuanzhi's feet.
A few green fingers gently lifted the wine glass, and the slightly wide cuffs gradually slid down and piled up in the middle of her forearm. She didn't notice it, and then slowly handed it to his mouth.
"My Lord, please drink this cup."
Wei Xuanzhi's gaze moved slightly downwards to her wrist.
She lowered her eyes and couldn't see Wei Xuanzhi's expression, but she could guess that he must have noticed something. Yingsi suddenly became curious about what he would do, would he just get close to her face and open his mouth, or would he politely refuse.
Before the bet was chosen, the next moment, the wine glass was taken away. Yingsi raised her eyes quietly, just in time to see him slightly tilting his head back, and the bulge in his throat sliding up and down.
She didn't expect that he actually drank it.
Although the pot of poisoned wine had been replaced by her on the way here, Wei Xuanzhi didn't know it.
The look in his eyes just now clearly showed that he had seen through everything, but he still chose to drink it. If he was not seeking death, then what confidence did he have?
Her surprise was in stark contrast to the joy on the other side.
The moment he saw Wei Xuanzhi drink it, the sweat on the other side dried up, his tightly pursed lips loosened, and his stiff smile faded.
"Hahahaha, your Excellency has a good alcohol tolerance."
"Yes, it's rare for the Lord to show his respect today, we should treat him well..."
Wei Xuanzhi slowly put down the wine glass, and his slender eyes swept across her face unfathomably.
"What's your name?" Because he had just drunk some wine, his voice had a hint of the mellow aroma of wine.
Not only Yingsi, but other officials who were observing his reaction were all stunned.
Yingsi withdrew her surprise and quickly lowered her head, "Your servant, Jiaojiao..."
"Jiao, Jiao..." He repeated her name, deliberately prolonging the sound, and then a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his lips: "Yes, it looks familiar..."
Yingsi immediately raised her eyes with a hint of contempt: This bastard, he doesn't even have a dick but he's trying to learn how to pick up girls!
As if he understood what was in her eyes, Wei Xuanzhi lowered his pupils, and a slight upward arc appeared at the corners of his eyes.
The next moment, his face suddenly turned pale, his chest felt like it was burning with pain, and then a mouthful of bright red blood spurted out from his throat.
Yingsi opened her eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief as he covered his chest with his hands, looking extremely painful.
How is it possible?! She clearly changed the bottle of wine, how could she still be poisoned?
By then, everyone on the opposite side had stood up and looked at him nervously, not daring to step forward or ask for help.
For a moment, she was confused and at a loss, kneeling beside his legs, and could only subconsciously pat his back to wipe the blood.
"Sir? Sir! Wei Xuanzhi! What's wrong with you?"
She wiped his face with her handkerchief roughly. Wei Xuanzhi seemed to feel impatient, so he raised his hand, grabbed her hand and pressed it on his leg.
Ying thought about pulling back, but he had no intention of letting go.
When I looked again, Wei Xuanzhi's eyes were red, and the blood from his mouth was flowing down from the corners of his mouth, gradually sliding down to his jaw, and finally sinking into his clothes.
Suddenly, he raised his eyes and looked at the officials opposite him with different expressions, and his voice became low.
"You have poisoned me, aren't you afraid of death..."
Song Zhihui glanced guiltily at his teammates who didn't even dare to fart, waved his sleeves, and seemed to have made up his mind.
"We don't want to be enemies with you, sir, but the case you are investigating now is a case that wants our lives. When it comes to life and death, people always have to make some choices."
After these words were spoken, the officials next to him dared to speak.
"That's right. If you accept our money and do good things for everyone, it will be good for everyone. But you want to be an honest official, so you must be prepared to be an honest official."
"Governor, when everyone else is confused, you are the only one who is clear-headed. That's your fault."
.........
Different from the previous silence, as if they had determined that Wei Xuanzhi was doomed to die, everyone in the room began to righteously point out his faults, which led to the current situation.
At this time, Yingsi had not waited for the system to broadcast the warning that the male protagonist's life was threatened, and was feeling confused.
Seeing that the time on the Vision Card on the panel was only five minutes left, Yingsi anxiously slapped the back of Wei Xuanzhi's hand and whispered anxiously in his ear:
"If you want to die, don't drag me along! I don't have time!"
A barely perceptible curve appeared at the corner of Wei Xuanzhi's lips, and he gripped her with even greater force.
The opponent's verbal battle seemed to have no effect on him anymore, and he fell vertically onto the low table in front of him.
But he just held Yingsi's hand and never let go.
At a certain moment, Yingsi suddenly woke up and wondered if this guy was...
She lowered her eyes and looked at Wei Xuanzhi's profile with his eyes closed, and a thousand horses were galloping through her heart.
Finally, he fell down, and the noisy sounds stopped immediately. The whole hall suddenly became as quiet as death.
