After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 309: Death of Ye Dina

Ye Dina really did as she said and did not stay in the Great Zhou. Li Siqi listened to the secret guards he sent to keep an eye on Ye Dina and said that after Ye Dina returned to Liuyun Pavilion, the envoys from the Western Regions were packing their bags. After two envoys, the group from the Western Regions left the capital.

They moved very quickly, as if they were avoiding something. According to etiquette, Li Siqi should have led people to see them off, but by the time Li Siqi received the news, the people from the Western Region had already left the city.

Xu Yingying also got the news, but her face looked a little bad. She thought of the night before when she and Li Siqi hosted a banquet for Ling Jiayao.

At the banquet, Li Siqi and Ling Jiayao drank a lot, and their expressions were a little unclear. However, before Ling Jiayao left, when he saw Xu Yingying, he still bowed deeply to her.

"Jiayao thanks the queen for giving me back my freedom." Ling Jiayao's words seemed to have a hidden meaning.

It’s just that Xu Yingying had also drunk some sake at that time, and her mind was a little confused, so she didn’t notice anything was wrong.

It was not until Xu Yingying woke up the next day that she realized belatedly that Ling Jiayao seemed to be about to do something, otherwise he would not have emphasized his freedom.

Freedom means that Ling Jiayao will not be anyone's subordinate. If he commits any crime, it will not implicate others. The more Xu Yingying thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She quickly asked someone to prepare a carriage. She was going to go to the palace to look for Li Siqi.

After listening to Xu Yingying's analysis, Li Siqi's face was not very good, but their group had already left the capital a long time ago, and they should be some distance away from the capital now.

After much thought, Li Siqi decided to send someone to take a look, but before the man was sent out, a guard broke in.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, something terrible has happened!" The guard also looked anxious.

Xu Yingying and Li Siqi looked at each other and both saw a bad premonition in each other's eyes.

"What exactly happened?" Li Siqi asked sternly.

"Your Highness, the people escorting the envoys from the Western Regions have sent news that Princess Wenwa was stabbed to death. The murderer, the murderer..." the guard stammered.

"What murderer? Just tell me quickly." Xu Yingying was also extremely anxious. She felt annoyed when she saw the guard hesitating.

"The murderer Ling Jiayao has confessed his crime and committed suicide," the guard said helplessly.

"What did you say?!" Xu Yingying blurted out subconsciously.

She really didn't expect that Ling Jiayao would actually sacrifice himself in order to assassinate Ye Dina, but after thinking about it, it seemed very normal. Ling Jiayao killed the princess of the Wen Wa tribe. How could the Wen Wa people let him leave the Western Regions alive?

Thinking of this, Xu Yingying couldn't help but sigh that Ling Jiayao was a man of iron.

Xu Yingying couldn't help but feel deep admiration for him. In return, Xu Yingying decided to perform a ritual to help Ling Jiayao to be reborn into a good family in his next life and live a safe and happy life.

At the same time, after Ye Bhutan witnessed Yedina's death with her own eyes, her wish was fulfilled, all the resentment in her dissipated, and she turned to the underworld to be reincarnated.

Of course, some people are still brooding over Ye Dina’s death.

on the main hall.

The envoys from the Western Regions who had left long ago returned to the Great Zhou and were determined to seek an explanation for Ye Dina's death.

"Lord Regent, you are the one who granted us this marriage. Now our prince consort has assassinated our Wen Wa princess. You must give us an explanation, right?"

The envoy said confidently.

He believed that it was Li Siqi's failure to discipline his subordinates that led to Ye Dina being stabbed to death by Ling Jiayao.

In short, Ye Dina’s death is inevitably related to Da Zhou.

Although the envoy did feel a little sad about Ye Dina's death, his main concern now was how to link Ye Dina's death to the Great Zhou and gain greater benefits from it.

Unfortunately, his wishful thinking was going to fail. Li Siqi looked at the Western Region envoy expressionlessly and said, "Your Excellency the envoy is wrong. I am deeply saddened by what happened in your country, but this marriage was requested by Princess Ye Dina herself. I did not force you!"

"Besides, I did not expect that Mr. Ling, who looked so gentle, would actually assassinate Princess Ye Dina. If I had known that Ling Jiayao would do such a thing, I would not have given him to Princess Ye Dina. And, this marriage was requested by Princess Ye Dina herself. I did not intend to marry Ling Jiayao to Princess Ye Dina at the beginning."

"Princess Ye Dina was angry with me because of this. At Princess Ye Dina's strong request, I finally gave Ling Jiayao to her as her consort. Who could have expected this result? All the ministers can prove this for me!"

After saying this, Li Siqi looked at the people in the audience.

As soon as this was said, the ministers in the audience echoed: "That's right, it was clearly them who asked the regent to grant the marriage between Ye Dina and Ling Jiayao. Now that Ling Jiayao and Ye Dina are in trouble, they are coming back to bite us. How can this be justified!"

"In my opinion, it must be Princess Ye Dina who forced Master Ling Jiayao to do something on the way. Otherwise, how could the always well-behaved Master Ling Jiayao do such a rebellious thing?"

"That's right. They've been taken away from us to the capital, but now they're looking for us again after something happened. I think they want to blackmail us!"

"That's right. I've never seen such a shameless person. Maybe the incident between Master Ling Jiayao and Ye Dina was staged by them and they framed us. They have other intentions!"

……

Many ministers denounced the envoys from the Western Regions.

The Western Region envoy saw that something was wrong and immediately bowed to Li Siqi and said, "I am sorry for being so abrupt. Perhaps there is some misunderstanding here."

Seeing this, Li Siqi pretended to be sad and said, "I am also very sad to hear the news of Princess Ye Dina's passing. In my opinion, you should quickly transport Princess Ye Dina's body back and bury her properly! As for Ling Jiayao's body, leave it here for me to deal with!"

When the envoys from the Western Regions heard this, they felt furious. They came all the way to the Great Zhou, but not only did they not get anything, they also lost a princess, and they had to swallow their anger.

"As you command, thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty the Regent."

After saying this, the envoy fled back to the Western Regions in disgrace, using the excuse that Ye Dina's body could not be kept for too long due to the hot weather.

Without Ye Dina's harassment, Li Siqi and Xu Yingying's lives became much easier and happier.

Li Siqi even improved his work efficiency a lot. He could spare two or three hours every night to chat and take a walk with Xu Yingying.

During this period, without Ye Dina being an eyesore, Xu Yingying's health improved a lot under the careful care of the imperial physician, and basically she no longer had any major problems.
