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

Chapter 121 Cooperation again

After some consideration, Li Siqi decided to take the risk. He planned to find someone to attract Li Siming's attention first, and then sneak into the Prince's Mansion and bring Xu Yingying out.

After making up his mind, Li Siqi was thinking about who would be the most appropriate person to seek help from.

After much thought, Li Siqi thought of his old friend, Cui Jiangyuan.

At that time, when the Dali Temple's Shaoqing Yan Qingyin was held, the two of them cooperated very well, but when he was transferred away from the capital, he did not tell Cui Jiangyuan about it.

Thinking of this, Li Siqi felt a little nervous, wondering if Cui Jiangyuan would blame him.

But there was no better way at the moment, so Li Siqi had to hope for a lucky break and go find Cui Jiangyuan.

When Cui Jiangyuan received the news, he was also shocked. He didn't expect that Li Siqi would come to see him.

When the two met, the atmosphere was a little awkward. They both had a lot to say, but didn't know how to say it.

Finally, it was Cui Jiangyuan who spoke first, "Your Highness the Ninth Prince, how are you? Are you back from Jun County?"

Cui Jiangyuan's attitude was not very good, but looking at Cui Jiangyuan like this, Li Siqi felt a little relieved. At least he was not distant from him.

"I didn't tell you because I was in a hurry. Before I came to you, I was worried that you would be angry about it."

Li Siqi relaxed a little and said half-jokingly.

"You're right to be worried. When I first found out that you were sent to Jun County by His Majesty, you didn't know how worried I was about you. Now it seems that my worries were in vain. You didn't even tell me when you came back."

Cui Jiangyuan was somewhat speechless.

"This return to the capital is also a secret operation. Even my father did not know about it. I came to you this time because I have something to ask for."

Li Siqi answered very seriously.

Hearing this, Cui Jiangyuan suppressed the urge to roll his eyes and said, "I knew that His Highness the Ninth Prince would not come to the palace for no reason. Tell me, what is the reason this time? Last time, you almost offended Yan Qingyin. Who are you going to offend this time?"

"Prince." Li Siqi took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

Cui Jiangyuan almost spit out the tea he had just taken in. "Ahem, ahem, who are you talking about? You want to attack the prince? Are you kidding me?"

Cui Jiangyuan looked at Li Siqi with fear and suspicion in his eyes. He wondered if Li Siqi had been possessed by someone else and had chosen to offend the prince at this time.

"My relationship with the Crown Prince is already hostile. I was extra careful when I returned to the capital secretly this time, but somehow the Crown Prince found out. Now he has taken my men away. I must get him out, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Li Siqi explained to Cui Jiangyuan earnestly.

"Who was taken away? Could it be the little county magistrate who had been following you before?" Cui Jiangyuan had a vague guess in his mind.

"Yes, it's him, so I want to rescue him. He also has some conflicts with the prince. I'm afraid that the longer the time goes, the worse it will be for him." Li Siqi's expression was also extremely solemn.

Cui Jiangyuan saw that Li Siqi thought so highly of a county magistrate, and joked: "I can't believe that our Ninth Prince would think so highly of a county magistrate. If I hadn't known that both of you were men, I would have thought that you were deeply in love with the county magistrate."

Li Siqi choked and the tips of his ears suddenly turned red.

Then he changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this for now. I need you to help me attract the prince's attention. I wonder if you are willing to do me this favor."

Cui Jiangyuan waved his hand, "Just consider it as something I owed you in my last life. I will not refuse your request. It's urgent and there's no time to pick a good day. I will go to the Prince's Mansion and hold the Prince back for you. The rest depends on you. You are in Jun County, but I am still in the capital. Please don't embarrass me."

"Of course. If the Crown Prince holds you responsible, you can just push the blame onto me. The Crown Prince and I cannot live in peace anyway. One conflict or multiple conflicts makes no difference to me."

Li Siqi said solemnly.

With Li Siqi's words, Cui Jiangyuan felt much more relieved.

Without further ado, Cui Jiangyuan immediately prepared his horse and rushed to the Eastern Palace.

In the Eastern Palace, Li Siming wanted to interrogate Xu Yingying, but before he could go, a servant came to report that Cui Jiangyuan wanted to see him for an important matter.

Li Siming thought that Xu Yingying was already in his house, so it didn't matter if she was a few moments late. He simply went to the front hall to see what Cui Jiangyuan wanted.

After Cui Jiangyuan saw Li Siming's figure, he made a gesture with his hand behind his back. Li Siqi received the signal and quickly and quietly slipped to the side wall of the East Palace.

He took out the flare from his sleeve and fired it into the sky. In the East Palace across the wall, Yi Tai saw Li Siqi's signal and appeared to Xu Yingying and said, "Sir, His Highness has sent a signal. I will take you out now. Sorry for the offense."

After saying that, Yitai embraced Xu Yingying, and with his light Kung Fu, he took Xu Yingying to climb walls and over eaves, and successfully climbed out of the East Palace. Fortunately, Li Siming thought that they were in the East Palace and Xu Yingying could not escape, so he was a little negligent in keeping a close eye on Xu Yingying, which gave Xu Yingying an opportunity.

At this time, Li Siqi was outside the East Palace to meet Yitai and Xu Yingying. Seeing the two come out safely, Li Siqi breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as Xu Yingying stood in front of him, Li Siqi quickly said, "Let's leave here quickly. Li Siming can't delay for long. We must leave the capital immediately."

Xu Yingying also understood the seriousness of the matter, and without saying a word, she followed Li Siqi out of the capital quickly.

After hurrying and hurrying, finally, a quarter of an hour later, Xu Yingying and Li Siqi were already standing in the team leaving the city.

As they got closer and closer to the city gate, Xu Yingying's heart was in her throat, and even Li Siqi kept looking back.

Fortunately, Cui Jiangyuan was still very helpful. In the front hall of the East Palace, he talked to Li Siming about this and that. There was no point and it was almost all nonsense.

At first, Li Siming listened to Cui Jiangyuan's speech patiently. But as time went on, he felt something was wrong and interrupted Cui Jiangyuan's nonsense. "Mr. Cui, what is the important matter that brought you here today?"

Hearing Li Siming's impatient tone, Cui Jiangyuan cursed Li Siqi in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Li Siming's words.

"Your Highness, I just came here to chat with you. As for the important matter, I have forgotten why I came to see Your Highness in the first place..." Before Cui Jiangyuan could finish his story, Li Siming stood up.

As he walked towards the backyard, he ordered the butler beside him, "Butler, send Master Cui out."
