Chapter 138 She is a woman
By the time Li Siqi arrived, it was already dawn. Li Siqi entered the cave cautiously, but this time it was not as creepy and cold as last time.
When he walked all the way to the end, Li Siqi saw a blurry yet very familiar figure lying on the ground.
Could it be Xu Yingying?
When Li Siqi thought of this, his alarm bells suddenly rang and his steps became faster.
After walking a few steps, Li Siqi became more certain that the person on the ground was Xu Yingying.
He walked over nervously and called Xu Yingying in a low voice, but Xu Yingying did not respond and seemed to have fainted.
Li Siqi carefully helped Xu Yingying up, only to find that Xu Yingying's face was extremely pale.
But her cheeks were abnormally flushed and her lips were bloodless, but Li Siqi could clearly feel the person in his arms trembling slightly and the exposed skin was burning hot.
Xu Yingying had a fever, and Li Siqi couldn't help but feel scared. According to Xu Yingying's current condition, if he came a little later, the consequences would be disastrous.
There was no time to delay any longer. Li Siqi picked up Xu Yingying without hesitation and carried her horizontally back to the mansion as quickly as possible.
Camellia followed him and she discovered that something was wrong with Xu Yingying in the middle of the night.
But she couldn't touch Xu Yingying, so she could only watch, unable to even call for help. Looking at Li Siqi running with Xu Yingying in his arms, Camellia was a little more satisfied with Li Siqi.
As soon as he returned home, Li Siqi ordered Yi Tai to find a doctor, and then hurriedly sent Xu Yingying back to her room.
After a while, the doctor arrived. He knelt beside and took Xu Yingying's pulse under Li Siqi's gaze.
But after a while, the doctor's expression became very intriguing, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Li Siqi noticed the doctor's expression and thought that Xu Yingying had an accident. He became nervous and asked in a low voice: "Doctor, is the condition not good?"
The doctor shook his head and said nothing. He just took the patient's pulse again to confirm his guess.
After a long time, the doctor frowned tightly and withdrew his hand.
"How?" Li Siqi asked.
The doctor said truthfully: "The young man lying on the bed just has a common fever. It should be caused by being frightened and overthinking. It's just..."
The doctor hesitated, not knowing what to say next.
"Just what?" Li Siqi's eyes narrowed.
"However, based on my analysis of his pulse, this young man's pulse does not seem like that of a man, but more like that of a girl. I think this young man may be a woman dressed as a man."
As the doctor spoke, he also looked at Li Siqi's expression. He couldn't guess what Li Siqi was thinking. Along the way, he looked at the decoration inside the mansion and knew that Li Siqi was definitely not from an ordinary family. He thought he had a background.
After hearing what the doctor said, Li Siqi was shocked. He still had some doubts about whether Xu Yingying was a boy or a girl. After all, although Xu Yingying had always been dressed as a man, he always felt that Xu Yingying looked a little weird.
What's more, the name Xu Yingying sounds a bit feminine, which makes Xu Yingying look even more out of place. Moreover, he had seen Xu Yingying wearing women's clothing before. At that time, Li Siqi just felt that Xu Yingying should be a girl.
At this moment, the doctor's remarks further confirmed Li Siqi's guess.
But Xu Yingying must have her own difficulties in dressing up as a man, otherwise which woman would always be willing to be a man? In order to avoid disturbing Xu Yingying's plan, Li Siqi asked Yi Tai to get some silver.
Yitai was very fast and in a moment, a box full of gold and silver appeared in Li Siqi's hand.
Li Siqi remained calm, opened the box, gestured to the doctor, and said, "You know how valuable these things are. These will be your consultation fee."
"But at the same time, I hope you can keep this secret. No matter whether he is a man or a woman, I hope you can keep your mouth shut and not mention this to anyone. How about that?"
There was a warning and threat in Li Siqi's tone. The doctor was stunned when he saw the things in the box. He never thought that the man in front of him was so rich that he could give these things away as soon as he asked.
Seeing the doctor in a daze, Li Siqi was very dissatisfied, "What's wrong?"
The doctor finally reacted and quickly knelt on the ground, "Yes, yes, I understand. I will definitely not tell anyone about this matter. Please rest assured, sir."
The doctor remained silent. Li Siqi was very satisfied and handed the box to the doctor. Then Yitai took the doctor out.
Li Siqi returned to the bedside and looked at Xu Yingying who was still in a coma. He fell into deep thought, his eyes unconsciously becoming deep.
If his previous attraction to Xu Yingying was accompanied by entanglement and self-contempt, now this sense of self-blame is much less. After all, Xu Yingying is now a woman, so he naturally won't have any preference for Long Yang. This also made Li Siqi breathe a sigh of relief.
After Yi Tai came back, he asked Li Siqi, "Master, do you want me to find a maid to help Master Xu... change his clothes?"
Through the conversation between Li Siqi and the doctor, Yitai made a rough guess about Xu Yingying's identity, but he didn't dare to guess what Li Siqi was thinking, so he could only call Xu Yingying according to the previous title.
Li Siqi shook his head. "No need. The maids in the mansion are all newly recruited. Brother Xu... Yingying's identity needs to be kept secret. We don't know what these maids are thinking. To be on the safe side, let me do it."
"Master, this..."
Yitai was a little hesitant. Li Siqi was a prince after all, and he had probably never done such a thing as serving others without taking off his clothes. Yitai was worried that Xu Yingying's illness would become more serious in Li Siqi's hands.
"Hmm? Do you have any objection?" Li Siqi glanced at Yitai, who quickly lowered his head and said that he didn't dare.
Li Siqi let Yitai leave with satisfaction, and then kept staring at Xu Yingying intently.
In the following days, Li Siqi took very good care of Xu Yingying, doing everything by himself, even wiping Xu Yingying's body. After Li Siqi asked everyone to go out, he would wipe Xu Yingying gently with a handkerchief by himself.
Fortunately, Xu Yingying recovered quickly under Li Siqi's careful care.
Unfortunately, Li Siqi was wiping Xu Yingying's body. Xu Yingying's eyelashes trembled, and then she slowly opened her eyes. At this time, Li Siqi had not noticed that Xu Yingying had woken up.
Xu Yingying, who had been in a coma for several days, opened her eyes for the first time. She didn't know what day it was and was a little confused.
