Chapter 206 Back to Beijing
"Okay!" Upon hearing the voice, Guo Shaoqi was afraid that Xu Yingying and the others would go back on their word, so he ran outside. However, he did not notice that there were many wronged souls following him at this time.
These innocent souls are all those who died in vain due to the human trafficking incidents he and Cangchun Pavilion were involved in over the years.
After running out of the basement, Guo Shaoqi relaxed a lot when he saw that Xu Yingying and the others didn't catch up with him.
As a result, he had only taken a few steps when he saw a scene that horrified him.
There stood a headless man in front of him.
Guo Shaoqi subconsciously wanted to step back, but he accidentally bumped into someone.
When Guo Shaoqi looked back, he was so scared that his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
I saw a few pale-faced people standing behind him.
The next second, Guo Shaoqi discovered that something even more terrifying had happened.
He was surrounded by a group of evil spirits, some of which had no arms, some had no legs, and some had no eyes...
If you asked Shao Qi how he knew these people were ghosts, it was because he found that these people had no feet.
In fact, the reason why Guo Shaoqi could see ghosts was because a group of evil ghosts in the basement had almost sucked away all the yang energy in his body, so his yang energy was very low and he could see ghosts.
Because the place where Guo Shaoqi died was relatively remote, no one from Cangchun Pavilion discovered it that night.
His body was not discovered until the next morning.
It immediately caused an uproar, and everyone was talking about Guo Shaoqi's death.
There were even rumors in the town that it was Crown Prince Li Siming who killed Guo Shaoqi, because during the daytime, people saw Guo Shaoqi and Li Siming eating and drinking tea together in a teahouse.
When Li Siqi heard this rumor, he was shocked.
He didn't expect that Guo Shaoqi would die just one day later.
The attack was ruthless, swift and vicious.
According to Li Siming's guess, it was most likely Li Siqi and Xu Yingying who did it, but unfortunately they were too clean and Li Siming couldn't find any evidence against them. He could only swallow the bitter fruit silently.
Of course, Li Siming would not choose to take the blame himself. In order to protect himself, he decisively chose to let his subordinates take the blame, and then he fled back to the capital as quickly as possible, fearing that he would be investigated again.
When Xu Yingying and Li Siqi received the news, they both laughed so hard that they couldn't stop.
Seeing that the murderer who killed Sun Yongan and his sister was caught, the two siblings also took the initiative to reincarnate.
at the same time.
In the imperial study in the capital.
"Alas." The emperor sighed and put down the memorial in his hand.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Su Shengyuan on the side bravely asked.
The emperor showed a thoughtful expression, and said helplessly: "What do you think Si Qi is doing now? Is he sleeping and resting? How is his health? I don't know if he is used to the food and accommodation there."
The emperor's eyes were filled with worry. The extremely majestic emperor during the day had now transformed into an ordinary father, and was particularly worried about his son who was wandering outside.
When Su Shengyuan saw the emperor like this, he couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, are you thinking about the Ninth Prince?"
"Let me say this. Since Your Majesty wants to, then summon him back and let His Majesty stay in the capital, by your side."
After these words were spoken, the emperor's face became hesitant again.
"But... if he returns to the capital again, how can I guarantee his personal safety?"
The emperor couldn't help but worry.
After hearing this, Su Shengyuan smiled, "I thought the emperor was worried about something, but it turned out to be this!"
"Your Majesty, think about it. His Highness is almost twenty years old this year. He is already an adult, not a child. He must have the ability to protect himself. So, Your Majesty, your worries are unnecessary."
"Besides, the Ninth Prince has always been in poor health. Is he ill? You sent him to such a far place. What if he gets sick and can't find the imperial physician?"
"Apart from this reason, you and His Highness the Ninth Prince have been apart for so long that the relationship between you and your father and son will inevitably become estranged. In my opinion, you might as well call the Ninth Prince back to the capital and put him in front of you. This way, it will help ease your longing pain."
Su Shengyuan said from the bottom of his heart that he had followed the emperor for so many years, and no one had ever understood what the emperor was thinking better than him.
Perhaps Su Shengyuan's words moved the emperor, or perhaps he was too worried about Li Siqi.
The emperor did not hesitate this time and made a prompt decision: "Okay, then you should draft an imperial decree to let Li Siqi come back! I haven't seen him for a long time."
"But tell the public that I saw that he admitted his mistakes with a good attitude, so I pardoned him and let him come back. Otherwise, some people will take the opportunity to attack her again."
The emperor said thoughtfully.
"Okay, okay, I'll do it right away." Su Shengyuan agreed quickly.
After saying that, Su Shengyuan went to the county overnight to bring Li Siqi back.
The moment Xu Yingying saw Su Shengyuan, she felt like she was dreaming.
"Eunuch Su, why are you here?" Xu Yingying asked curiously.
"Aren't we here to take you back?" Su Shengyuan said with a smile looking at Xu Yingying and Li Siqi.
She confirmed with Su Shengyuan in disbelief, "Eunuch Su, do you mean you are here to take us back to the capital?"
"What's wrong? Doesn't it seem like it? The Emperor missed the Ninth Prince, so he sent this old servant to take you both over. Lord Xu doesn't seem to want to go back?"
Su Shengyuan couldn't help but joked.
"No, no." Xu Yingying nodded quickly.
After saying that, she couldn't wait to pack her things.
Li Siqi on the side indeed had an exceptionally calm expression, and seemed unperturbed by fame or criticism, which made Su Shengyuan very satisfied.
Sure enough, their Highness has grown up and is no longer a child.
In this way, Li Siqi and Su Shengyuan returned to Shangjing overnight.
Before leaving, Li Siqi specifically entrusted the task of assisting Huang Shaohua in resolving the issue of refugees to Rao Qingji.
Rao Qingji felt very sorry about Xu Yingying's departure, but unfortunately he had no power to stop her. In the end, he could only choose to bid farewell to Xu Yingying reluctantly.
But truth will eventually come to light, and the emperor did not intend to hide the fact that Li Siqi had returned this time.
The next morning, the news that Li Siqi had returned to Shangjing spread throughout Shangjing.
This time Li Siqi was not afraid anymore. He planned to take the initiative with Xu Yingying to attack Li Siming. After all, being soft on the enemy would be equivalent to being cruel to oneself.
Xu Yingying also particularly agreed with this proposal, especially when they learned that Li Siming had been living a life of debauchery and caring nothing about state affairs during Li Siqi's absence, they felt that this was the best opportunity God had given them to bring down Li Siming.
