Chapter 349 Found her!
Wang Jingrui rode out on horseback with his guards. There was only one way out of Gucheng Villa, so they judged that Xu Yingying didn't go far at all.
Facts have proved that their judgment is indeed correct. Due to the rugged and steep mountain road and the patrolling guards, Xu Yingying got lost as soon as she left the villa.
Just like that, with the guards' careful search, Xu Yingying was found by Wang Jingrui soon.
By the bank of a turbulent river, Xu Yingying was leaning her head around looking for a path that would allow her to escape.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind her. Xu Yingying looked over and found Wang Jingrui.
Seeing this, Xu Yingying suddenly felt overwhelmed.
After Wang Jingrui saw Xu Yingying, his eyes never left Xu Yingying.
"Okay, it's been so long, you've made enough trouble, it's time to come back with me!" Wang Jingrui looked at Xu Yingying intently and said.
Xu Yingying couldn't sit still anymore after hearing this, and she loudly retorted, "Oh, what? I don't like you at all, I don't have any improper thoughts about you, and I don't want to be with you."
Wang Jingrui was deeply shocked by Xu Yingying's words. He said hurtly, "I didn't expect you to be so cruel. I don't care. You must come back with me today. You must be my person in life and my ghost in death."
Seeing that Wang Jingrui was so stubborn, Xu Yingying made up her mind and jumped into the turbulent river behind her without hesitation.
"Don't jump! You will die." Wang Jingrui stopped him subconsciously.
At the same time, Xu Yingying's voice came from a distance, "Bye!"
Wang Jingrui vaguely remembered that Xu Yingying could not swim. Facts once again proved that his worries were completely unnecessary, because ever since Xu Yingying was rescued by Wang Ruian's family, she had been quietly training her swimming ability and did not want a similar situation to happen again.
This one incident once again proved that it is good to learn one more skill.
Wang Jingrui became anxious as he watched Xu Yingying getting farther and farther away from him. He shouted at his men beside him, "What are you doing? Go chase her!"
The guards looked at each other with wide eyes, and then said in a very low voice, "Sir, we... can't swim!"
Wang Jingrui was overwhelmed after hearing this and said angrily, "How come you don't even know this? Then what is the point of keeping a bunch of useless people like you?"
The guards looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. They could only lower their heads in silence and wait for Wang Jingrui's reprimand.
As for Xu Yingying, after swimming for a while and making sure that there were no pursuers around and it was safe, she went ashore.
During the whole process, someone was following Huaer.
"Where should we go next?" Xu Yingying looked at Huaer with a confused look on her face.
"If you go north along this river, you can reach the county. Once you reach the county, it means you are not far from the capital." Hua'er reminded Xu Yingying very considerately.
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Xu Yingying looked at the flowers with gratitude, and then slowly walked north along the path by the river.
In this way, Xu Yingying successfully came to the county again.
As soon as she arrived at the county, Xu Yingying felt that all the scenes around her were so familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before. Thinking of this, Xu Yingying suddenly felt dizzy and very uncomfortable.
Huang Shaohua happened to appear at this time. When Huang Shaohua saw Xu Yingying, he was slightly stunned, and soon he became extremely excited and asked, "Emperor... why are you here?"
Xu Yingying was slightly stunned when she heard this, then looked at Huang Shaohua with a strange expression and asked, "You... know me?"
Huang Shaohua opened his mouth in surprise when he heard Xu Yingying's words, and cautiously asked, "You don't recognize me? Don't you remember what happened between us?"
Xu Yingying smiled bitterly, shook her head and answered truthfully, "I don't remember. I seemed to have fallen from a very high waterfall or cliff, and then I lost my memory, so I don't remember what happened specifically. One of the purposes of my coming here this time is to regain my own memories."
Huang Shaohua roughly understood what happened when he heard this, so he quickly said to Xu Yingying, "Oh, so that's how it is. It's okay, come back to my mansion with me first and sit down in my mansion. You and I are old acquaintances, and I will tell you your story later."
Xu Yingying nodded half-doubtfully when she heard this, "Okay."
In this way, Xu Yingying was temporarily settled in Huang Shaohua's mansion. Not only that, Huang Shaohua also wrote a letter to Li Siqi as soon as possible to convey the news, telling Li Siqi that Xu Yingying was here.
Inside the Yangxin Hall.
Eunuch Su carefully handed the envelope in his hand to Li Siqi and said, "Your Majesty, the county magistrate Huang Shaohua has important matters to report to your Majesty."
Li Siqi frowned slightly when he heard this, and said impatiently, "What's the matter? Just tell me if you have something to say."
Li Siqi has been annoyed enough these days because of Xu Yingying's disappearance. He doesn't want to approve these government affairs anymore. He just wants to find Xu Yingying quickly to solve his biggest problem.
"Yes...it's about the Queen." Eunuch Su probed cautiously.
As soon as these words came out, Li Siqi's eyes widened and he grabbed Eunuch Su's arm excitedly and said, "What's the news? Tell me quickly! Have you found Xu Yingying?"
Eunuch Su was a little scared when he saw this and said, "Your Majesty, County Magistrate Huang said that the Queen appeared in the county and seemed to have lost her memory. He has stabilized the Queen and arranged for her to live in his mansion."
After hearing this, Li Siqi became extremely excited.
Li Siqi couldn't wait to speak, "Okay, okay, quickly prepare the carriage for me, and then I will go to the county to see Xu Yingying."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Upon seeing this, Eunuch Su hurriedly stepped back to prepare the carriage.
After a while, a carriage was ready.
Just like that, Li Siqi dropped everything on hand and headed straight for the county, rushing to meet Xu Yingying without stopping.
After more than ten hours of travel, Li Siqi finally arrived at the county, exhausted.
After arriving at the county, Li Siqi went straight to Huang Shaohua's county magistrate's residence.
This was the scene Li Siqi saw as soon as he entered the backyard: Xu Yingying, dressed in white, was sitting at a table under a big tree in the courtyard drinking tea with Huang Shaohua.
Coincidentally, Xu Yingying also looked up at Li Siqi at this moment, but this time there was no admiration in Xu Yingying's eyes when she looked at Li Siqi, only confusion and doubt. Xu Yingying even couldn't help but redden her eyes and shed tears.
