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

Chapter 234 Testing

According to what everyone said, the Imperial Concubine should be a person who did many evil things, but Xu Yingying had never found any ghost around the Imperial Concubine according to the several times she met her.

This made Xu Yingying feel very puzzled.

Xu Yingying thought about it and decided to go to the palace again the next day to inquire about the news.

Early the next morning, Xu Yingying got on a carriage and headed for the palace.

Xu Yingying first pretended to inspect the late queen's bedroom, and then broke into the imperial concubine's residence when no one was paying attention.

This time, Xu Yingying entered the imperial concubine's bedroom only after careful observation.

There really weren't many people in Chuxiu Palace this time, because the emperor had once again lost interest in the imperial concubine, so there were not as many people guarding her as before.

The entire Chuxiu Palace looked particularly desolate. No one knew what the Imperial Concubine was thinking. She just stared out the window with a dull look.

Seeing this, Xu Yingying held her breath and carefully sneaked into the imperial concubine's room.

Xu Yingying gave Yu Xiao a look, indicating Yu Xiao to go forward and inquire about the Imperial Concubine.

Yu Xiao excitedly floated towards the Imperial Concubine. Just when she thought the time for her revenge had come, she ended up staying two or three meters away from the Imperial Concubine and could not get close to her.

There seemed to be a barrier around the Imperial Concubine that blocked Yu Xiao from getting close, but Xu Yingying had never noticed this before.

After thinking about it, Xu Yingying guessed that it was most likely the amulet given to her by Fang Haoyuan.

Since it can stop ghosts, it should not be able to stop people, right?

When Xu Yingying thought of this, she wanted to go forward and test it out.

As a result, just as she was about to step out, she heard footsteps outside the door.

Xu Yingying immediately hid herself behind the cabinet, fearing that she would be discovered by the people who came.

Li Siming strode into the imperial concubine's bedroom. As soon as he came in, he took out a pill and gave it to the imperial concubine.

"Mom, you should take medicine."

After the imperial concubine took the red pill in Li Siming's hand, her eyes became much clearer after a while, as if she had regained her sanity.

"Son, you're here." The imperial concubine's face immediately put on a kind one when she saw Li Siming.

"Yes, mother."

"Has anything happened in the court recently that was unfavorable to you?" the imperial concubine asked Li Siming.

Li Siming frowned and said, "My dear mother, I have always been unhappy with Cui Jiangke, but I didn't expect that my father recently appointed him as a general to guard the border. What will happen if he can achieve some results?"

Li Siming said this very dissatisfiedly, and his words showed his dissatisfaction with Cui Jiangke.

"What's the big deal? It's a long journey to guard the border, and there's no guarantee that he won't get into any accidents. Besides, even if he can get to the border safely, the swords on the battlefield are merciless, so who knows how long he can survive?"

The Imperial Concubine took a sip of the tea on the table and then spoke to Li Siming indifferently.

After hearing this, Li Siming suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment, "My mother is really smart."

The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Xu Yingying in the corner seemed to have heard a shocking piece of news.

Xu Yingying climbed out of the open window when the two were not paying attention, then left the palace and went straight to her own residence.

After returning home, Xu Yingying found that Li Siqi had not woken up and was still sleeping.

With nowhere to spread the news, Xu Yingying had to take the risk and go to Baihua Tower, hoping to find Cui Jiangyuan.

Inside Baihua Tower.

Xu Yingying looked around, but she didn't see Cui Jiangyuan.

Time was running out and there was no time to waste, so Xu Yingying had to find the madam of Baihualou.

"Auntie, I'm Yang Huiwen's good friend. I have something to ask her. Can you let me in to take a look?"

As Xu Yingying spoke, she stuffed a few ingots of silver into the madam's hands.

The madam smiled from ear to ear as she touched the heavy silver in her hand, and she agreed to Xu Yingying's request immediately.

"Okay, okay! No problem. Miss Yang has nothing to do today so she is resting in her room."

After saying that, he asked the maid to take Xu Yingying to Yang Huiwen's room.

Yang Huiwen was a little surprised to see Xu Yingying, and subconsciously asked, "Why are you here?"

Xu Yingying reluctantly told Yang Huiwen the whole story, and also told Yang Huiwen to pass the news to Cui Jiangyuan.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Yang Huiwen nodded and said solemnly that she would definitely do it.

Seeing this, Xu Yingying left with satisfaction. After all, there was an unconscious Li Siqi in her mansion waiting for her to take care of him.

Xu Yingying and Xu Ruohao secretly asked someone to take Li Siming back to the palace at night. After all, it was not a good idea for Li Siming to live in Xu Yingying's house all the time, and it would not look good if he went out.

At night, Baihua Tower.

Cui Jiangyuan, who came to the flower banquet, was called into the room alone by Yang Huiwen. Yang Huiwen conveyed to Cui Jiangyuan word for word what Xu Yingying had said to her today.

After hearing this, Cui Jiangyuan became extremely angry and slammed the table fiercely.

"Damn it, I didn't expect them to be so despicable and shameless. They are still the crown prince and imperial concubine of our dynasty. They are really lacking in morals and have evil intentions. It is worrying."

Cui Jiangyuan couldn't help but curse.

After saying this, he ordered his trusted men to deliver the news that the Imperial Concubine and the Crown Prince were colluding with people from the Western Regions to frame Cui Jiangke to his brother as quickly as possible.

Cui Jiangyuan delivered the message promptly, so Cui Jiangke was extremely cautious on his way to the Western Regions and avoided assassinations by Li Siming and people from the Western Regions several times in a row.

After this series of operations, Li Siming also realized that something was wrong.

He estimated that it was most likely Xu Yingying and Li Siqi who were behind this.

However, Li Siming had not seen Li Siqi attend the morning court in the past few days. He suspected that Li Siqi was suffering from a cold again.

In order to find out the truth, Li Siming planned to go to Li Siqi's palace the next day to see what Li Siqi was doing.

Early the next morning.

As soon as Xu Yingying got up, Xu Ruohao knocked on her door with an anxious look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Xu Yingying opened the door and asked curiously.

"Sir Xu, it's bad. I don't know what's wrong with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but he has to come to pay a visit to my prince. He's already sitting in the hall, and he won't leave no matter what we say." Xu Ruohao said helplessly.

After hearing this, Xu Yingying frowned.

Could it be that Li Siming knew something? Otherwise, why would he come at this time by chance?

Xu Yingying felt a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart.

But she still pretended to be calm and comforted Xu Ruohao: "Okay, I got it, I'll go get dressed and come right away."

After Xu Yingying finished speaking, she went back to her room, packed up a little, and went to the hall to meet Li Siming.

Xu Yingying also wanted to know what Li Siming was up to today.
