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

Chapter 236 Entering the Palace to Meet the Saint

She had limited energy, and since Li Siqi hadn't woken up yet, she didn't have the energy to care about these trivial matters.

Seeing these wild ghosts, Xu Yingying had to wave her hand and let Zhong Lin and Chahua drive them away.

That day, Xu Yingying continued to give acupuncture to Li Siqi as usual.

But she didn't expect that after these injections, Li Siqi actually woke up.

"What's wrong with me?" Li Siqi, who had just woken up, looked a little weak, his face pale without a trace of blood.

"You finally woke up, that's great."

"Do you know that you almost scared me to death? You have been suffering from the cold poison and have been in a coma for half a month."

Xu Yingying said excitedly.

Li Siqi was also a little surprised after hearing this. He didn't expect that he had been unconscious for so long.

"I feel that the matter of my cold poison cannot be delayed any longer. My subordinates previously told me some gossip that there is an antidote for my cold poison in the Western Regions. I want to take the risk and go to the Western Regions to have a look." Li Siqi couldn't help but say as he looked at Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying was stunned at first, and then her whole face was full of hesitation, "Are you... sure? But can your body... withstand it?"

Xu Yingying expressed her inner worries.

Unexpectedly, Li Siqi smiled helplessly after hearing this, "What can I do? Going to the Western Regions to find an antidote might give me a glimmer of hope, but if I don't go looking for it, then my situation is very passive and I can only wait to die."

After listening to this, Xu Yingying nodded immediately and said with gritted teeth: "I think what you said makes sense. I support you."

After that, Xu Yingying seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, by the way, the emperor also asked you to go to the palace to see him after you wake up."

As Xu Yingying spoke, she packed her things and prepared to enter the palace with Li Siqi.

Li Siqi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

The carriage was ready in a short while.

Xu Yingying and Li Siqi got on the carriage and slowly headed towards the palace.

At first the carriage was running smoothly, but not long after it went, Xu Yingying noticed that the carriage suddenly accelerated and there was a burst of noise outside the carriage.

Li Siqi and Xu Yingying looked at each other.

"What's wrong?" Xu Yingying asked quickly.

Xu Ruohao's voice came from outside, "Reporting to the prince, Lord Xu, someone outside is trying to hijack our carriage."

When Xu Yingying heard this, she immediately became nervous.

Li Siqi is seriously ill now, and her health is not good either. What if the robbers rush into the car?

Then Xu Ruohao said, "My Lord, don't worry, Miss Xu. I will find a way to get you two out right away."

Xu Ruohao took out his sword and immediately rushed into the crowd and entangled with the assassin.

Seeing this, the driver waved the whip in his hand desperately to whip the horse.

The horse ran forward with all its strength, and soon shook off the pursuers behind it.

Xu Yingying stared out the car window in shock, "I never thought there would be such chaos under the emperor's feet. This is simply too crazy."

"It's okay, it's okay. Aren't we just fine now?" Li Siqi soothed softly.

Xu Yingying calmed down a lot after hearing what Li Siqi said.

The coachman outside heard this and gave a bitter smile. In fact, this kind of thing had happened many times, but Li Siqi's men protected Youjia, and many times the assassins were dealt with by the guards before they could reach Li Siqi and Xu Yingying.

Inside the carriage.

Li Siqi's health had not been good to begin with, and coupled with the bumpy ride the carriage had just taken, he spat out a mouthful of blood without any warning.

"puff--"

Xu Yingying suddenly panicked, "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?" After saying that, she took her handkerchief and hurriedly wiped the blood from the corner of Li Siqi's mouth.

Li Siqi waved his hands, looked at Xu Yingying with a pale face, then gave a weak smile and comforted Xu Yingying, "It's okay."

Xu Yingying looked at Li Siqi, whose face was pale but he still insisted on giving her a reassuring smile, and she felt distressed all of a sudden.

But this meeting was requested by the emperor and she couldn't refuse. She was helpless and her eyes were filled with heartache for Li Siqi.

Xu Yingying helped Li Siqi to the door of the imperial study.

Just as Xu Yingying was about to step in with Li Siqi, a pair of hands reached out in front of Xu Yingying.

"Sir Xu, the emperor has specifically instructed that he wants to talk to the Ninth Prince alone and does not want to be disturbed by outsiders. You and I should wait outside the door!" Su Shengyuan looked at Xu Yingying and said respectfully.

Seeing this, Xu Yingying didn't know what to say, so she could only nod and say, "Okay."

She glanced at Li Siming with some concern.

Li Siming patted her shoulder and smiled at her to comfort her.

Xu Yingying nodded and said very obediently, "Then I'll wait for you here."

"Okay." After saying that, Li Siqi strode into the imperial study.

"The Ninth Prince and Lord Xu have a really good relationship." Su Shengyuan on the side couldn't help but sigh.

Xu Yingying smiled and said nothing.

No one knew what the emperor and Li Siqi talked about, but they talked for a long time.

During this period, Xu Yingying paced back and forth outside the door anxiously. She always felt vaguely uneasy, but she couldn't tell why.

Just as Xu Yingying was looking around, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a figure leaving in a hurry - Li Siming.

Xu Yingying instinctively felt that Li Siming would never do anything good, so she pretended to have a stomachache and said to Su Shengyuan, "Eunuch Su, my stomach seems to be a little uncomfortable. I'll go out for a while and be back soon."

Su Shengyuan nodded quickly and said, "Okay, Master Xu, go slowly."

After walking around, Xu Yingying quietly followed Li Siming, ready to see what he was up to.

After a while, Li Siming, who was walking in front, showed his intelligence for once.

He immediately noticed Xu Yingying following behind him.

This time Li Siming learned his lesson. He deliberately walked to a corner and waited for Xu Yingying to catch up.

Xu Yingying, who was unprepared, bumped into Li Siming unexpectedly.

"Oh, isn't this Lord Xu? I wonder why Lord Xu is following me?" Li Siming said preemptively.

Xu Yingying's eyes flashed with panic the moment she saw Li Siming, but she quickly returned to normal and replied calmly, "Your Highness, you are overthinking. What can I do by following you? It was just a coincidence that we met when we passed by here."

After saying that, Xu Yingying prepared to leave.

But the next second, a voice behind her called her.

"Xu Yingying, you are here! It took me so long to find you." Li Siqi came over in a hurry.

Li Siming looked up and saw Li Siming beside him. He immediately became extremely alert and subconsciously blocked Xu Yingying behind him.
