Chapter 288 Flower Appreciation Banquet
However, Tao Yao's expression was very ugly, and Xu Yingying also had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Taoyao, how is it, have you found it?" Xu Yingying still asked.
Tao Yao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, his already pale face looking even uglier, "I found him, but Hu Weihua was already dead. When I arrived, I only saw his body, not even his soul."
When Xu Yingying heard this, her whole face was filled with shock. She didn't expect that Hu Weihua, whom she had always placed high hopes on, died so quietly.
"What?" Xu Yingying finally died, "Do you know who killed you?"
Tao Yao just shook her head silently, indicating that she didn't know.
For a moment, Xu Yingying fell into silence. Hu Weihua's death meant that Xu Yingying and Li Siqi had lost all hope. For a moment, Xu Yingying didn't know what to do.
This was clearly not what she expected. Her plan was disrupted. Xu Yingying knew that she had to go find Li Siqi, but Ye Dina would not allow Xu Yingying to get close to Li Siqi alone, so she had to find another way.
Suddenly, Xu Yingying caught sight of Tao Yao beside her, and a plan came to her mind. She waved at Tao Yao, and Tao Yao moved closer with some surprise.
The next day, Xu Yingying was called over by Ye Dina as usual and went to the room where Li Siqi was. Just at the moment the door was closed, Tao Yao appeared beside Xu Yingying, but Ye Dina naturally couldn't see it. Xu Yingying had already given Tao Yao a small packet of sleeping pills, which was enough to make Ye Dina sleep for a while.
Sure enough, after a while, before Ye Dina could ask Xu Yingying to do anything, she was drugged by Tao Yao and slowly fainted on the ground. Xu Yingying glanced at Ye Dina on the ground, then at Li Siqi, thought for a moment, and still struggled to help Ye Dina from the ground to the bed.
A trace of struggle flashed across Li Siqi's face, but because it was Xu Yingying who was doing this, he did not say anything.
"Huh, I didn't expect that she doesn't look that fat, but she's so heavy. I'm so tired." Xu Yingying sat on the edge of the bed, slowly calming her breathing.
Li Siqi poured a glass of water for Xu Yingying and handed it to her.
Xu Yingying didn't have time to thank him. She took the cup and put it to her mouth. However, when she touched Li Siqi's hand, she found that his hand was unusually cold.
After drinking the water, Xu Yingying didn't even bother to rest herself. She quickly pushed Li Siqi onto the stool next to her and put her hand on his wrist.
Feeling Li Siqi's pulse, Xu Yingying frowned even more tightly, "Has the cold poison in your body relapsed?"
Li Siqi nodded. "The cold poison is recurring more and more frequently now, but fortunately I can still bear it."
Xu Yingying took out the small bag she carried with her, took out the silver needles and gave Li Siqi acupuncture to relieve the pain caused by the cold poison.
"But is it because of the Li Li Juan in your body?" Xu Yingying kept asking while moving her hands.
Li Siqi didn't say anything, just nodded.
"Yingying, I'm sorry..." Li Siqi said in a muffled voice after a long time.
Xu Yingying was stunned, and her movements stopped. The next second, she reacted and continued her movements, "Why are you apologizing to me all of a sudden?"
Li Siqi pursed his lips and said, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to endure so much trouble from Ye Dina."
"It doesn't matter. The reason I came to Ye Dina is to get the antidote for the cold poison in her body. Otherwise, even Ye Luwen can't do anything to me. Don't worry, don't worry about me. I'm fine." Xu Yingying pretended to be relaxed and comforted Li Siqi, but only she knew how tired she was.
"By the way, I came to you today because of Hu Weihua's matter." Xu Yingying put away the needle, sat opposite Li Siqi, and said seriously.
"What happened to Hu Weihua?" Li Siqi pointed his fingers at the table and frowned slightly.
"Hu Weihua is dead, did you know?" Xu Yingying stared at Li Siqi and said in a low voice.
"What? Hu Weihua is dead?" Li Siqi was also extremely shocked. "When did it happen?"
"I sent the ghost I just captured to look for Hu Weihua. She came back and told me yesterday that now we can't even find his soul. The way to find Hu Weihua is completely blocked." Xu Yingying was also very distressed.
The two talked for a while, and seeing that it was almost time and Ye Dina was about to wake up, Xu Yingying stood up and left the room, leaving only Li Siqi and Ye Dina in the room.
The days that followed were just like the previous period, Xu Yingying and Li Siqi carefully planned something under Ye Dina's nose.
Ye Luwen was not idle either. The army of the Central Plains was very fast. Within just one month, the emperor sent troops to attack Wenwa. Ye Luwen was naturally unwilling to lag behind and sent his own army to fight the emperor.
For a while, the border was raging with war and the people were living in misery.
Ye Luwen was so busy with the things on the front line that he had no time to intervene in the affairs of Xu Yingying and Li Siqi. The two of them were just waiting for this time.
But even though the two countries are at war now, Ye Dina, who lives in the palace, has no intention of worrying about the war. She still lives a life of spending money lavishly every day. For example, now, when she is in a good mood, she simply gathers a group of noble ladies in the capital to hold a flower-viewing banquet.
Xu Yingying was happy to hear this; with so many people around, it would be easier for her to get information.
The flower-viewing banquet was held soon. As a maidservant beside Ye Dina, Xu Yingying naturally had to attend the banquet. Of course, she would be treated as a servant rather than an invited guest.
Ye Dina was busy talking to those noble ladies, which gave Xu Yingying a chance to wander among the crowd, quietly inquiring about the news of Han Du.
Hard work pays off, and Xu Yingying really found out about it. At that time, she was doing something not far from Ye Dina, and she heard a young lady from a wealthy family next to Ye Dina talking to Ye Dina about the cold poison.
Perhaps because Ye Dina had drunk a little bit of wine at that time, her thoughts were a little confused, and she blurted out where she had put the antidote for the cold poison, which was inside her most precious jewelry box.
Xu Yingying was overjoyed. After the banquet was over, Xu Yingying avoided the crowd and came to Li Siqi's room with the help of Tao Yao's cover.
Li Siqi had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Xu Yingying coming, he was delighted.
"How is it?" Li Siqi asked.
"We have obtained the exact information, but the most important thing is how we should deal with Ye Dina. The things are kept almost close to her body, and I am afraid it is not easy to access them." There was worry on Xu Yingying's face.
