Chapter 313 Rushing to the County
Xu Yingying touched her belly. Although she had been feeling dizzy and troubled by these wandering ghosts these days, if she could really help these ghosts to reincarnate, it would be a good deed for herself and the baby in her belly.
After thinking it over, Xu Yingying agreed to Lu Ming's request. She said, "Okay, I'll help you, but what exactly do you want me to find for you?"
Li Siqi seemed to be very tired, and Xu Yingying's voice did not wake him up.
Lu Ming said without hesitation: "It was a jade pendant that my mother left for me. It is very important to me, but I forgot why I lost it before."
Xu Yingying frowned. This kind of matter involving ghosts that knew nothing was the most difficult to deal with.
"Do you remember where you last saw this jade pendant?" Xu Yingying asked.
Lu Ming hesitated and thought for a while before saying, "If I remember correctly, it should be in the county."
Hearing this, Xu Yingying fell silent, not knowing what to say. She seemed to have an inexplicable fate with the county. She didn't expect that after so many twists and turns, she would end up going to that place.
Seeing Xu Yingying silent, Lu Ming felt a little unsure, "Sir? Sir? What's wrong with you?"
Xu Yingying came back to her senses. "It's okay. I understand. Leave this matter to me. I will do it as soon as possible. Also, don't come to me at night again. Not only you, but also the other ghosts around you. Although I can see you, you can't go too far."
Lu Ming nodded hurriedly, and as if he was afraid that Xu Yingying would go back on her word, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xu Yingying felt helpless. Although she also wanted to stay at home for a few days of peace and take good care of her pregnancy, unfortunately, things did not go as she wished and troubles came one after another.
The next day, when the sun was already high in the sky, Li Siqi finally woke up. After all, he lacked too much sleep. After waking up thoroughly this time, Li Siqi's health improved a lot.
Seeing that Li Siqi had woken up, Xu Yingying brought him a cup of tea and asked him to drink it.
"You finally woke up. If you had continued to sleep, I would have asked someone to call the imperial physician." Xu Yingying teased with a smile.
Li Siqi seemed a little embarrassed, "Nothing happened to you last night, right?" he asked nervously.
Xu Yingying nodded and then shook her head.
"What exactly happened?" Li Siqi became anxious upon seeing this.
Xu Yingying quickly spoke to comfort him, "Don't worry, it's not a big deal, I just need to leave the house."
"Leaving the house? Where to?" Li Siqi was even more confused.
Xu Yingying sighed deeply and said, "I'm going to the county." Then, she described in detail to Li Siqi what happened last night.
Hearing this, the dissatisfaction and annoyance on Li Siqi's face became more obvious. "I shouldn't have slept so deeply last night. I didn't even know that such a big thing had happened. It's best if nothing happened to you. If something really happened, I'm afraid I would regret it to death."
"Don't worry, don't you know my ability? Although I have a baby in my belly now, I can still handle those things. Besides, I promised Lu Ming to help her find the jade pendant. If the task is completed successfully, it will be considered as accumulating blessings for the baby, right?"
Li Siqi nodded, but seemed to suddenly think of something, and said: "But if you go to the county, I will go with you." His expression was very serious.
Xu Yingying was somewhat helpless. "But you are not a prince now. You are now the regent and you have to attend the morning court every morning. Although the ministers in the court can handle some things now, what if something big happens and you are not in the capital?"
Xu Yingying secretly hoped that Li Siqi could accompany her. After all, she was pregnant now, and some things were still difficult to do. If any accident happened and affected the baby, Xu Yingying felt that she would feel guilty to death.
But family and national affairs are more important, and Xu Yingying doesn't want to affect Li Siqi's affairs because of herself.
Li Siqi shook his head. "It's okay. I will arrange everything before I leave. Besides, the county is not far from the capital. If there is something they can't solve, it will only take me three hours to get back to the capital from the county. Don't worry, there won't be any mistakes."
Li Siqi had said so much, Xu Yingying could not persuade him any further, "Then let's pack up today and leave early tomorrow morning. The county...should we notify Huang Shaohua?"
A sly look flashed across Li Siqi's face. "No need. We will go there quietly and catch them off guard. We can also take this opportunity to see how the county is governed now."
At this moment, Huang Shaohua, who was in the county lady's mansion, suddenly felt a chill on his back and sneezed.
The next morning, Xu Yingying and Li Siqi prepared their things, took a few servants with them, and left the capital in a very low-key manner, heading towards the county.
At this time, there were green trees outside and the scenery was pretty good. The group was not in a hurry to travel, but instead slowed down a little to carefully appreciate the scenery along the way.
After walking and stopping many times, the group did not see the county gate until the afternoon.
Seeing this, Xu Yingying's face lit up with joy, "Great, we're finally there." As she spoke, she looked in the direction around her. There was no one there, but Xu Yingying could see that Lu Ming was standing there.
That's right, Lu Ming also came with Xu Yingying. Although Xu Yingying said that she was a little afraid of the county, the jade pendant was more important after all, so she followed Xu Yingying reluctantly.
However, Lu Ming felt anxious when she saw that Xu Yingying and her group were moving so slowly. She was afraid of Li Siqi who was always by Xu Yingying's side, so she took advantage of Li Siqi's absence to come to Xu Yingying and urged her in a low voice.
However, Xu Yingying ignored Lu Ming's urging. Seeing this, Lu Ming could do nothing but sulk.
The carriage slowly drove into the county. Xu Yingying looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar streets around her and suddenly felt as if she was in another world. After leaving the county with Li Siqi, she had been unable to get away. She was first in the capital, then went to Wenwa, and then returned to the capital, and then until now. After going around in circles, Xu Yingying found that she actually had a sense of belonging to this small place, the county.
In fact, the county has changed a lot, but the faces of the people passing by the carriage were filled with happy smiles. Xu Yingying and Li Siqi looked at each other and saw relief in each other's eyes.
