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

Chapter 235 Flirting with Xu Yingying

"Oh, Lord Xu is also in my ninth brother's house!" When Li Siming saw Xu Yingying, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes and he quickly stood up and said.

Xu Yingying didn't have time to pay attention to Li Siming's poor acting skills, and went straight to the point: "As the prince's soon-to-be-married fiancée, it is normal for me to come to the palace to take a look. But I don't know what wind can blow you, Your Highness, here today."

Xu Yingying's tone revealed unkindness, but Li Siming did not get angry. Instead, he looked at Xu Yingying with a smile.

"Where is my ninth brother? Why didn't I see my ninth brother today?" Li Siming looked around and asked.

"The prince is feeling a little unwell and is resting. He hasn't gotten up yet." Xu Yingying lied.

Li Siming's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this, "Ninth brother... could it be... that the cold poison has taken effect?"

"No! You're overthinking it." Xu Yingying immediately denied it.

Although Xu Yingying denied it again and again, there was a hint of ill intent in Li Siming's eyes when he looked at Xu Yingying, as if he already knew that Li Siming was actually sick.

"Mr. Xu, you are truly a rare and extraordinary woman. When she was an official, she solved many strange cases, and when she was a fiancée, she was devoted and devoted."

Li Siming's tone suddenly changed, and then he slowly moved closer to Xu Yingying, and even wanted to reach out to touch Xu Yingying's hair.

Xu Yingying was immediately displeased by Li Siming's behavior. She took a step back in disgust and warned, "Your Highness, please respect yourself. This is your ninth brother's territory. As his brother, it doesn't seem right for you to touch someone else's fiancée on someone else's territory!"

Li Siming smiled and said, "I was the one who asked the Queen Mother to marry you, but my ninth brother was unethical and snatched you away from me."

"Otherwise, you might have been mine by now. You know how sick Ninth Brother is. He won't live long. You're just asking for trouble if you follow him. Otherwise, if you follow me, you will have endless wealth and glory in the future."

"Come, let this prince take good care of you." Li Siming said as he stretched out his claws towards Xu Yingying again.

This time Xu Yingying did not give in and did not intend to control him.

Xu Yingying did not hesitate to use the grappling technique that she had practiced for a long time but had never had the chance to use on Li Siming.

Li Siming's hand was grabbed by Xu Yingying and pressed against his back in a strange posture.

Li Siming, who had not worked for many years, suddenly heard a "crack" sound from his arm, which seemed to be the sound of a broken bone.

"Ahhh-"

"It hurts, it hurts, please let me go."

"How dare you! I am the crown prince, of noble status. How dare you, the unmarried fiancée of the Ninth Prince, treat me like this? Believe it or not, I will tell my father about your attack on me today, and I will give you a serious lecture at the court tomorrow morning."

Li Siming's facial features were twisted in pain, but he still couldn't forget to curse at Xu Yingying.

After hearing this, Xu Yingying snorted coldly, "Okay! Then go tell the emperor! I'll also report to the emperor about you molesting me in the prince's mansion. It's not certain who the emperor will punish then."

"you you you you!"

Li Siming pointed at Xu Yingying's face for a long time, but in the end he couldn't explain it.

At this time, Li Siming was like a dumb person eating coptis root, unable to express his pain.

Seeing that he could not gain any benefit, Li Siming left in anger.

Although he failed to take advantage of Xu Yingying, his trip today was not completely in vain. He at least confirmed that Li Siming was really sick.

Li Siming felt that Li Siqi was also sick, and the only person who could threaten his throne was now busy with his own affairs.

This is a great opportunity for him to take action!

Li Siming ordered his men to work with the Western Regions people lurking in the capital to create some "little trouble" for the people who came to the capital.

With the cooperation of these two forces, the capital city was in chaos in just a few days, especially the forces under Li Siqi, which were the main targets of Li Siming's attacks!

Li Siqi has been in a coma and has not woken up. Xu Yingying is alone and weak. In order to consolidate her power, Xu Yingying takes the initiative to cooperate with Cui Jiangyuan.

The situation on Cui Jiangyuan's side was not much better. His brother Cui Jiangke was missing, and his backbone Li Siming's cold poison had not been cured. He was very exhausted during this period.

early morning.

"Your Majesty, people from the Western Regions carried out a massacre in the vegetable market east of our dynasty last night, injuring many civilians." The chief soldier in charge of patrolling complained to the emperor.

"Damn it! This is outrageous!"

"Who is responsible for guarding the city gate? How do they do their work? How did they let these people from the Western Regions sneak in?" The emperor shouted angrily in great dissatisfaction.

"Your Majesty, the captain guarding the city gate is Li Zeyu." Su Shengyuan on the side said cautiously to the emperor.

"I don't care who he is, he let the people from the Western Regions sneak in because he didn't check their identities. He will be fined for one year. If this happens again, he will not be the city gate captain. What use is there for me to have him?"

The emperor said with great dissatisfaction.

Next, the emperor punished several officials related to the matter to calm his anger before adjourning the morning court.

In the imperial study room.

The emperor rubbed his temples with a headache, and couldn't help but ask Su Shengyuan beside him: "Is the ninth prince still not awake?"

Su Shengyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince has not yet shown any signs of waking up."

The emperor sighed helplessly upon hearing this, and said to himself with some regret: "My son is good in every way except his health. Otherwise..."

The emperor didn't say the rest of his words after all, but everyone present understood what he meant.

"Eunuch Su, go to the palace and tell the Ninth Prince to come to the palace to see me when he wakes up." The emperor instructed Su Shengyuan who was standing aside.

"I obey your command. I will do it right away."

Over the next few days, Li Siqi remained in a coma, with no signs of waking up.

During this period, the people from the Western Regions were not idle either. They staged riots in the capital many times. Their tracks were hidden and their actions were cautious. For a time, no officers or soldiers could catch them, and they escaped several times.

The emperor, who was originally in good health, was overwhelmed by these things and looked quite haggard for a while.

The situation on Xu Yingying's side is not much better. Recently, more and more ghosts have been haunting her.
