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

Chapter 242 An Uneasy Wedding

After all, when Su Shengyuan gets out, he will definitely understand the whole story. Instead of lying to him, it is better to tell him the truth directly.

Just at this moment, Xu Yingying came and broke the originally depressed atmosphere.

As soon as Xu Yingying saw Su Shengyuan, she discovered that there were many wronged souls around Su Shengyuan, and these wronged souls were constantly sucking his yang energy.

Xu Yingying hurriedly drove these gangsters away in the name of "praying for good luck and sweeping away the dirty air".

After doing all this, Xu Yingying specially invited a doctor to treat the condition quickly.

After acupuncture, Su Shengyuan's condition immediately improved a lot, and even Su Shengyuan himself felt that he was much more comfortable than before.

Li Siqi immediately realized that something was wrong and wanted to discuss the matter with Xu Yingying.

"Brother Xu, Li Siming has not made any moves during this period. I suspect he is planning a bigger conspiracy."

Li Siqi frowned slightly, and the confusion in his eyes became even more intense.

After listening to this, Xu Yingying lowered her head and thought for a moment, "What do you think he wants to do? Does he want to attack us again?"

Xu Yingying felt nervous and subconsciously began to think of countermeasures.

Li Siming is a sinister and cunning person, and he is in the dark. If you are not careful, you may fall into the opponent's hidden trick.

"In fact, I have a hunch that he is likely to usurp the throne."

Li Siqi took a deep breath, glanced at Xu Yingying, and then expressed all his doubts.

"The court seems to be too quiet on the surface during this period, but I have a feeling that things are going to be turbulent underneath."

Thinking of this, Li Siqi suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Then what should we do? We have to find a way to check and balance Li Siming." Xu Yingying looked at Li Siqi with some concern.

"There is no better way at the moment. Li Siming's maternal family controls the military power. It may not be easy to completely seize power from him."

Li Siqi and Xu Yingying discussed for a long time but could not come up with an effective solution, so they could only take one step at a time and see how it goes.

"Xu Yingying, our wedding date is coming soon. Just focus on preparing for the wedding. As for the other matters, leave them to me." Li Siqi looked at Xu Yingying lovingly.

"Xu Yingying suddenly felt a little shy, then nodded in a panic, "Okay."

In fact, the closer it gets to the wedding date, the more uneasy Li Siqi and Xu Yingying feel. After all, this is the best time for Li Siming to take action.

Considering Xu Yingying's safety, Li Siqi increased the number of guards in Fuzhong and even sent secret guards to protect Xu Yingying at night.

However, the entire palace was calm for several days. The quieter Li Siming was, the more uneasy Li Siqi and Xu Yingying felt.

On the wedding day, Xu Yingying put on a gorgeous wedding dress and wore the imperial wedding crown. With a delicate makeup on her face, she was carried into the mansion by Li Siqi in an eight-man sedan chair.

Today is Li Siqi's wedding. Court officials and dignitaries have come to congratulate him one after another. It seems that everyone is about to trample down the threshold of the palace.

But the more lively the moment, the more tense Li Siqi's nerves became. Even his subordinates carefully protected Li Siqi and Xu Yingying behind them.

"Ninth Prince, congratulations."

At this moment, a familiar figure came into Li Siqi's sight.

"Today is the wedding day for you and the princess, and I specially sent you a gift to express my gratitude."

"Thank you Mr. Cui."

A butler beside Li Siqi immediately took the gift from Cui Jiangyuan.

"Please go inside."

Although Li Siqi had a smile on his face, he was still too nervous to relax.

"Ninth brother."

Just when Li Siqi was about to enter the mansion with his guests, Li Siming came over with his men.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

Following the announcement, everyone knelt down.

"Your Highness, may you live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

"Royal brother." Li Siqi put on a good show and saluted towards Li Siming.

"Today is the day of the Ninth Emperor's wedding, and I would like to send you my special blessing."

As Li Siming waved his hand, a guard behind him came up with a valuable square box.

"This is a wedding gift I specially prepared for you, Ninth Prince. Why don't you open it and take a look?"

Li Siming looked at Li Siqi with a smile on his face, but actually there was a hint of viciousness in his eyes.

"Cock!"

Li Siqi had a sinister premonition in his heart, "Thank you for your concern, my brother."

Li Siqi was extremely alert and never stepped forward to take the box.

"Ninth brother, this is the wedding gift that I carefully selected. How can you treat a guest like this?"

Li Siming quickly saw through Li Siqi's thoughts, so he stepped forward to force him.

The conflict between Li Siqi and Li Siming had already reached a fever pitch, and those present were all important officials of the court, so they naturally knew it well.

After all, this is a turbulent time in the political situation, and no one dares to take sides rashly, for fear of bringing about fatal disaster.

"How dare I? Since it is my brother's good intention, I will accept it with a smile."

As soon as Li Siqi finished speaking, he took the initiative to step forward and wanted to open the square box, but was stopped by the butler beside him.

"Ninth Prince, let me come."

The butler secretly gave Li Siqi a wink, and Li Siqi quickly understood the meaning.

How could Li Siming send a wedding gift out of kindness? There was a high probability that the box contained poison.

"Wait a minute, this is the wedding gift I prepared for my ninth brother. What qualifications do you, a servant, have to step forward?"

Li Siming stopped the butler and asked, "Ninth Prince, are you dissatisfied with my careful preparations?"

"No."

Li Siqi shook his head subconsciously and took a step forward to take the square box.

In fact, Li Siqi also took into consideration that today was his wedding day with Xu Yingying after all, and it was in front of so many important officials of the court. Even if Li Siming wanted to harm him, he would not dare to act rashly.

Li Siqi took the box and opened the lid. The scene before him aroused his inner anger.

"This is?"

Li Siqi looked at Li Siming and met his smug smirk.

"Is my royal brother satisfied with the gift I sent you? I have put a lot of thought into preparing this gift."

Li Siming proudly took out the contents of the box and showed them to everyone.

Many civil officials present vomited on the spot, and even the military generals, who had experienced bloody scenes before, could not bear to watch.

It turned out that the so-called gift given by Li Siming was actually the limbs and heads of the secret guards around Li Siqi.

Li Siqi closed his eyes slightly upon seeing this, presumably, the secret guards stationed in the Prince's Mansion had already been killed by Li Siqi.

"Your Highness, you must not do this. Today is the Ninth Prince's wedding day. Please consider the royal family's reputation and think twice before you act."

The Imperial Censor was the first to step forward to stop Li Siming's actions.

"You are joking, my Lord Censor. I am only sending a gift. What does this have to do with the reputation of the royal family?"

Li Siming paused and continued, "Isn't this great gift what the Ninth Prince has in mind?"
