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

Chapter 131 Remembered

Xu Yingying stood in front of Zhang Xiaohan and said with a smile: "Girl, we meet again."

Zhang Xiaohan just sneered and let the guards take him to the room that had been prepared long ago.

However, before Xu Yingying and Li Siqi had the time to interrogate Zhang Xiaohan, Li Siqi's cold poison suddenly broke out.

Things have their priorities, so she could only put Zhang Xiaohan aside and take care of Li Siqi first.

However, Zhang Xiaohan seemed to have anticipated Li Siqi's attack of the poison. The guard who had detained Zhang Xiaohan came back to report, saying, "The girl said that the poison had entered His Highness' lungs, and he might not live long. The attacks of the poison are becoming more frequent now."

Hearing this, Xu Yingying's expression froze and she quickly walked towards Zhang Xiaohan.

"Zhang Xiaohan, did you do something to him?" Xu Yingying stared at Zhang Xiaohan, her tone full of certainty.

Zhang Xiaohan, however, looked nonchalant, "Whether it is true or not, why don't you just go and investigate it?"

Xu Yingying choked. She obviously realized that Zhang Xiaohan was just relying on the fact that she couldn't do anything to her, so she dared to be so arrogant.

Returning to Li Siqi's side, Xu Yingying grabbed his hand and wanted to feel his pulse.

Li Siqi's weak voice rang in Xu Yingying's ears, "Don't worry, it's not that the cold poison has worsened, it's just that other poisons were given, which caused the cold poison to break out early."

Xu Yingying also figured it out. She sighed deeply, "It's Zhang Xiaohan. I will find a way to expel the demon from her as soon as possible."

Li Siqi believed Xu Yingying, but the cold poison was too painful and his face turned very pale.

"Let me detoxify you first." Xu Yingying felt uncomfortable as she looked at Li Siqi, whose face was filled with pain.

Fortunately, the poison Zhang Xiaohan gave Li Siqi was not a fatal poison, and it was relatively easy to detoxify.

It didn't take long for the remaining poison to be cleared. After Li Siqi's condition improved, Xu Yingying breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her own yard.

It was already dark. Xu Yingying was tired after a long day, so she quickly washed up and went to bed.

The next morning, Xu Yingying was still asleep when she was awakened by Tuanna's voice.

"My lord, my lord...wake up, my lord." Tuanna floated beside Xu Yingying and kept shouting in her ear.

Xu Yingying was already very tired. After being woken up from her sweet dream, Xu Yingying's face was full of anxiety. She stared at Tuanna intently, as if she would scare her to death if she couldn't say anything.

Tuanna shrank back, but still said, "My Lord, I just had a dream. In the dream, I seemed to know why Zhang Xiaohan changed so much."

"Why do you say that?" Xu Yingying frowned, "She wasn't like this before?"

Tuanna nodded affirmatively. "Although she was pretty before, she was far from what she is now. But later, her appearance changed rapidly, and her temperament was also completely different from before."

"So what did you remember?" Xu Yingying thought for a moment and remembered what Tuanna said just now that she remembered something.

Tuanna then realized that she had strayed from the topic. "I used to be Zhang Xiaohan's personal maid, serving her since I was a child. She treated me very well, but later there was a turmoil in the family, and the old lady had no choice but to let me take Miss Zhang and flee alone, so we headed towards the Central Plains."

Tuanna paused and continued, "We didn't know the direction, and stumbled all the way to Jun County. After arriving in the city, the young lady didn't want to go to that place of entertainment at first. After all, the young lady is a lady from a wealthy family, how could she commit herself to a brothel?"

"But later, we went to a cave outside the city. After we came out of the cave, the young lady seemed to have changed into a different person. She suddenly became very cruel to me, and not only did she take the initiative to enter the Yihong Courtyard, but she even killed me directly in the end."

Thinking of this, Tuanna felt extremely sad, and Xu Yingying was also thoughtful. It seemed that the abnormality occurred in the cave.

"Tuana, do you remember where the cave is?"

"Of course I remember. After leaving the city, go south. The cave is in the southwest corner of Jun County. Do you want to go, sir?"

Xu Yingying nodded and began to wash and change clothes. Before going to the cave, Xu Yingying still planned to check on Li Siqi's current situation.

After Li Siqi was detoxified, the situation has improved a lot, but Xu Yingying is still a little worried.

"Your Highness, are you still feeling unwell?"

"It's okay, I can still bear it." Li Siqi didn't care much about it. "Are you going out?" He was a little surprised when he saw Xu Yingying's outfit.

Xu Yingying looked down at herself and said, "I just got the news that Zhang Xiaohan had been to the cave in the southwest before. I want to go and take a look. I think there must be something in the cave that caused Zhang Xiaohan to become what he is now."

Upon hearing this, Li Siqi sat up and said, "Are you sure? You haven't been cheated, have you?" Li Siqi felt something was not right. He was worried that if Xu Yingying went there, she might encounter something that would be difficult to deal with.

"Probably not. You know my ability. You can't lie to me." Xu Yingying shook her head. "Don't worry. Have a good rest in the mansion. I'll be back soon."

Li Siqi stood up on his own and said, "You don't know martial arts. If you encounter something difficult to deal with, I will go with you."

"But the poison in your body..." Xu Yingying frowned tightly. Xu Yingying still didn't want Li Siqi to follow her.

Indeed, as Li Siqi said, no one knows what will happen this time. The more this happens, the more Xu Yingying doesn't want Li Siqi to take risks with her in this state.

Li Siqi knew Xu Yingying's worries. "I've been suffering from the cold poison for so many years, but I'm still alive and well. Don't worry, nothing will happen. Besides, it shouldn't be far from Jun County. If there's something I can't solve, the people in the mansion can get there in time. What do you think?"

Seeing that Li Siqi was still insisting, Xu Yingying had to compromise, but still reminded him: "If you feel unwell, you must tell me in time so that I can deal with it. Don't force yourself to go there. If you get a cold attack there, you will die or lose a layer of skin. Don't take risks for yourself."

After saying that, the two of them went into battle lightly equipped, with only one secret guard accompanying them. This way, they would not be easily noticed.

The three of them moved very fast. After a while, Xu Yingying could already see the cave. Seeing this, she gestured to Anna, "Is it there?"
