Chapter 147 Unconscious
"Your Majesty already knows about Your Highness's affairs?" Xu Yingying was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that Li Siqi's affairs had already reached the emperor's ears.
The emperor knew about it, so the prince must have also received the news, but I don’t know why he didn’t come to see him.
"Master Xu? Master Xu?" Su Shengyuan called out when he saw Xu Yingying was distracted.
Xu Yingying came back to her senses, "Excuse me, I will take Eunuch Su to see His Highness now."
After saying that, Xu Yingying took the lead and walked in front, followed closely by Su Shengyuan and the imperial physician.
The imperial physician's medical skills were superior to Xu Yingying's after all. He stepped forward to take Li Siqi's pulse, and his expression gradually became serious.
"How is it?" Su Shengyuan asked hurriedly. The imperial physician withdrew his hand, his tone full of solemnity.
"Eunuch Su, His Highness's condition cannot be delayed any longer. There are two kinds of poisons intertwined in His Highness' body. If he is not careful, he will die from the poison."
"As Lord Xu said, His Highness has been unconscious for a long time. Now, if we want to detoxify him, we must first nourish His Highness' body with precious herbs. Feng County is not as good as the capital, so I think Eunuch Su will need to ask His Majesty for instructions to make a decision."
Su Shengyuan was shocked. He did not expect Li Siqi's condition to be so serious. He did not dare to delay and immediately sent someone to write a letter to the emperor, asking how to solve the problem.
The emperor replied quickly, asking Su Shengyuan to take Li Siqi and Xu Yingying back to the capital. Xu Yingying was happy for Li Siqi. Neither Feng County nor Jun County could compare to the capital. Li Siqi could only get better treatment in the capital.
Su Shengyuan relayed the emperor's words to Xu Yingying, "Sir Xu, His Majesty orders you and the Ninth Prince to return to Beijing immediately to treat His Royal Highness's illness. Please go and pack your things first." Su Shengyuan was extremely polite to Xu Yingying.
Xu Yingying nodded, turned around and went to the inner room of Li Siqi's room, and began to pack the things that Li Siqi needed.
Half an hour later, Xu Yingying came out carrying a few packages. She placed the packages on the table next to Su Shengyuan and said, "Eunuch Su, these are His Highness's things. Please take these things and bring His Highness back to the capital safely."
"Sir Xu, aren't you going back to Beijing with us? Your Majesty..." Su Shengyuan frowned, not understanding what Xu Yingying was going to do.
Xu Yingying just shook her head. "I still have some things to deal with in Feng County. I may need to stay here for a while. I still need to trouble Eunuch Su to convey the message to His Majesty."
"But the poison in His Highness' body can no longer be delayed. Eunuch Su, please do not delay any further. His Highness' health is the most important thing."
Seeing Xu Yingying say this, Su Shengyuan could not say anything to persuade her, so he could only nod and agree. Two hours later, Li Siqi was settled in, and Su Shengyuan escorted Li Siqi on the road back to the capital.
Xu Yingying stood at the gate of the county magistrate's mansion, watching Li Siqi leave. Camellia beside him had a look of delight on her face, "Why, you can't bear to leave?"
Camellia's teasing voice entered Xu Yingying's ears.
Xu Yingying subconsciously looked towards Camellia, and saw that Camellia had the same expression as she had just now. She fought back without any hesitation, "You are still talking about me, aren't you the same? Look at your eyes, they are almost tearing, humans and ghosts are on different paths~"
Being teased like this, Camellia felt a little embarrassed and annoyed, "Tsk, stop talking about me, you should look at yourself first, you are so reluctant to let someone go right after they leave, why don't you just leave with them."
"I do want to, but Chen Xiaoyu's issue hasn't been resolved yet, so I can't leave." Thinking of this, Xu Yingying couldn't help but sigh that her life was miserable. What had happened? If she hadn't promised Chen Xiaoyu, she would have already set out on the journey back to Beijing.
Having said that, Xu Yingying still wanted to do her best to help Chen Xiaoyu fulfill her wish.
Xu Yingying turned around and wanted to go back, but unexpectedly, the door of the county magistrate's mansion was closed. Xu Yingying frowned, not understanding what Cheng Peng wanted to do.
She and Camellia looked at each other, then went forward and knocked on the door. The next second, Cheng Peng opened the door and appeared in front of Xu Yingying.
"County Magistrate Cheng, what are you doing?" Xu Yingying asked with some dissatisfaction.
Cheng Peng, however, didn't care. "Ah, Master Xu, you haven't left yet. I thought you left with His Highness. My mansion is not big. Now that His Highness has left, you..."
Xu Yingying naturally understood what Cheng Peng said, and her eyes turned cold. "County Magistrate Cheng is planning to..."
Before Xu Yingying finished speaking, she was interrupted by Cheng Peng. He signaled the people behind him to throw out the things. Xu Yingying looked carefully and saw that they were her things. "Mr. Xu, my temple is small, so I won't keep you here. Please do as you please."
After that, Cheng Peng closed the door and blocked Xu Yingying outside. Chahua, who had a bad temper, couldn't sit still any longer. "What does this guy mean? He bullies you by taking advantage of his power. He dares to bully you when Li Siqi is not around? I'll kill him!"
As Chahua said this, she wanted to rush in and teach Cheng Peng a lesson, but was stopped by Xu Yingying.
"Chahua, don't be impulsive. Let's find a place to stay first. I think this Cheng Peng is not simple." Xu Yingying was much calmer than Chahua, but she was still a little angry in her heart. "What's more, this is his territory. A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Li Siqi is not here, so we should keep a low profile."
After saying that, Xu Yingying picked up her things and planned to stay in an inn in the city. Fortunately, Cheng Peng did not kill Xu Yingying, so she successfully found an inn in the city to stay in.
Chen Xiaoyu's matter still needs to be considered carefully. After thinking for a while, Xu Yingying decided to start with Chen Xiaoyu's parents, thinking that there should be some clues.
After resting for a night in the inn, Xu Yingying went to find someone who was reselling houses in the city and rented a place not far from Chen Xiaoyu's parents' home.
Looking at the house key in her hand, Xu Yingying began to think about how to find Chen's parents. Her current outfit would definitely make her recognized by Chen's parents at a glance, and they would definitely be on high alert and would not reveal any information to her easily.
What's more, if Cheng Peng interferes, Xu Yingying will lose more than she gains. After much thought, Xu Yingying decides to transform herself and pretend to be a rough man to get close to Chen's father and mother.
Arriving at the courtyard where she rented, Xu Yingying packed up simply, brought the visiting gifts prepared for Chen's father and mother, and knocked on the door of Chen's house.
"Who is it?" Chen's father's voice came lazily from the house.
After saying that, the door was opened from the inside, and it was Chen's mother.
"I just arrived here and live next to you. I wanted to come over to say hello to my brother and sister-in-law, and to trouble you to take care of me in the future," Xu Yingying said as she handed over the things in her hand.
