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

Chapter 222 Being drugged

Just like that, after some discussion by the servants, it was confirmed that Xu Yingying and Li Siqi had an unusual relationship.

The news that the two of them had a homosexual relationship soon spread outside the palace.

At this time, Xu Yingying didn't know all this. She was busy trying to find a way to wake Li Siqi up.

Xu Yingying took out the silver needles that she had not used for a long time and inserted them into the acupuncture points on Li Siqi's back. She also shouted his name in Li Siqi's ear to try to arouse a little reason from him.

"Li Siqi, wake up and see who I am?"

With Xu Yingying's cooperation, Li Siqi's condition improved a little, but the effect of the medicine had not completely faded, and Li Siqi's face was flushed, which was hard to ignore.

Xu Yingying touched Li Siqi's forehead and found that his body temperature was frighteningly low.

Could this be... the cold poison?

As expected, what you fear will come true. Li Siqi began to tremble again, and kept muttering, "I'm cold, I'm so cold..."

"It's terrible. Li Yiping is not here. What should I do if he gets the cold poison now?" Xu Yingying said helplessly and anxiously.

After a few seconds of brief thought, Xu Yingying planned to prescribe some medicine for Li Siqi according to the list given by Li Yiping before, and let Li Siqi take it to temporarily relieve his discomfort. Later, when she had time, she would find a way to completely cure Li Siqi's cold poison.

"Someone is coming."

At Xu Yingying's command, the door of the room was quickly pushed open, and a man who looked like a servant appeared in front of Xu Yingying. He saluted Xu Yingying very respectfully and said, "I'm here, please give me your orders, sir."

Xu Yingying handed the prescription to the servant beside her and said, "Take this prescription to Tongren Hall and ask Doctor Li to prepare the medicine according to the prescription and boil it before sending it back. Remember to be quick, otherwise your prince will die."

Xu Yingying emphasized to the servant with a serious face.

"Yes, my lord."

The servant also realized the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly took the prescription from Xu Yingying's hand, then ran to the pharmacy neatly.

After a while, he brought the prepared medicine from the pharmacy.

Xu Yingying took the medicine bowl and carefully fed Li Siqi mouthful by mouthful with a spoon.

After a while, the medicine began to take effect, and Li Siqi's complexion slowly returned to normal, no longer as pale as before.

Seeing this, Xu Yingying immediately let go of her anxious heart.

After doing all this, Xu Yingying found that Zhong Lin was staring at the strange fragrance beside the table in a daze.

Xu Yingying turned to look at Zhong Lin beside her and asked curiously, "Know him? Do you know what this strange fragrance is?"

Zhong Lin nodded and shook her head. "It contains a special aphrodisiac from the Western Regions. The aphrodisiac from the Western Regions is much more potent than that from other places. I don't know what other ingredients are in it."

When Xu Yingying heard Zhong Lin's words, she fell into deep thought.

She knew that Li Siqi's cold poison was most likely related to the people from the Western Regions.

It seems like it's time to find an opportunity to investigate who is behind the scenes directing them. Otherwise, they are in the open while the other party is in the dark. If the other party attacks them again in the future, wouldn't they be hard to defend themselves against?

Xu Yingying sighed helplessly when she thought of this.

the next day.

In the early morning, Li Siqi slowly opened his eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Xu Yingying lying beside him.

Xu Yingying had her eyes closed, and it seemed that she had stayed by her side all night without rest.

Thinking of this, Li Siqi suddenly felt warm in his heart.

It feels so good to be cared about.

At the same time, he was very angry because he remembered that the people from the Western Regions had drugged him yesterday.

Li Siqi's breathing became heavier when he thought of this.

Xu Yingying, who was sleeping soundly on the side, was awakened by Li Siqi's noise.

She was very happy to see Li Siqi wake up, and asked Li Siqi quickly: "Are you awake? Are you feeling unwell?"

Li Siqi shook his head and smiled slightly, "I'm fine."

But he clenched his fists tightly under the quilt, only to find that all the internal strength he had just recovered yesterday had dissipated.

All the efforts of these days have come to naught.

When Li Siqi thought of this, he felt as if a stone was pressing on his heart, but he did not show it.

And Xu Yingying didn't know anything about this.

"Oh, by the way, the drug you were poisoned with this time is unique to the Western Regions. It seems that this incident is most likely related to the people in the Western Regions."

Xu Yingying seemed to have thought of something and quickly shared the news she got from Zhong Lin with Li Siqi.

Li Siqi nodded after listening.

He was not surprised at all, as this was within his expectations.

Li Siqi got up from the bed to deal with some business, but as soon as he arrived in the study, he saw Xu Ruohao.

Li Siqi was a little surprised. "You came back like this? Did you find out some news?"

Xu Ruohao smiled bitterly, shook his head helplessly and said, "No, Your Majesty, the group of men we sent to follow the people from the Western Regions were all killed quietly. We don't even know who the other party is."

Li Siqi was stunned after hearing this, and then he couldn't help but become irritated.

"Damn it." He punched the wall hard.

At this time, Xu Yingying had no idea what had happened to Li Siqi. She was heading to the palace to continue investigating the Queen's case.

When they were almost at the palace, Xu Yingying ran into an uninvited guest - Li Siming.

This time, Li Siming did not carry Xu Yingying on his back as he did before. Instead, he walked straight towards Xu Yingying as if they had first met.

"Hey, isn't this Lord Xu?"

"Master Xu is here to investigate the case again? You are really dedicated to your duties. How could my ninth brother have such a helper as you?"

Li Siming took another step closer to Xu Yingying and whispered, "How much benefit did my ninth brother give to Lord Xu to make you work so hard for him? How about this, I'll pay double, and you follow me?"

When Xu Yingying heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She said, why Li Siming behaved so strangely today, it turned out that he was waiting for her here.

Want to turn her against you?

no way!

She and Li Siqi are good brothers, friends purer than gold.

Xu Yingying ignored Li Siming and turned a deaf ear to his words, preparing to walk past him and leave.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, sir, you are really persistent. I don't understand what future you have with that sickly guy? Didn't he have a cold yesterday?"

Seeing that Xu Yingying was not interested in what he said, Li Siming shouted at her angrily.

When Xu Yingying heard this, she paused. She immediately realized that there were people from Li Siming in Li Siqi's house.
