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

Chapter 219 Is She the Queen?

"Not only her, but also my good brother. I never thought that the Seventh Prince would be involved with such evil ways. Let's get rid of them all together." Li Siming had long regarded Li Siqi as a thorn in his side. Now that this kind of thing happened, he even wanted to kill Li Siqi.

Xu Yingying knew nothing about the Imperial Concubine and her son's conspiracy to kill her and Li Siqi. At this time, she was interrogating the female ghost she saw that day in the palace, the one who poisoned Camellia.

When interrogated for the second time, the female ghost did not hide anything and answered whatever Xu Yingying asked.

"Do you still remember who the person was that day?"

"Remember, remember, the one who gave the things to me that day was an aunt in charge of the Imperial Concubine."

"Okay, in that case, then take me there to look for it." Xu Yingying wanted the female ghost to lead the way, but she was a little embarrassed. Seeing this, Camellia directly took out her posture of the queen. Besides, she had been a ghost longer than this palace maid. Under her pressure, the female ghost had to take Xu Yingying to find the aunt in charge.

Fortunately, the female ghost still remembered the way, and she brought Xu Yingying and Camellia to a house on the outskirts of the city, stumbling along the way. However, what surprised Xu Yingying was that there was only an empty house and nothing else. The surroundings were even deserted, and the yard was full of weeds. It was obvious that this place had been abandoned for many years.

Xu Yingying did not give up. She looked around and saw a few scattered families around. She hurried forward to ask.

"Auntie, do you know what happened to that family over there? Why is the house abandoned?" Xu Yingying asked an old lady who was working in the fields.

The old lady looked in the direction of Xu Yingying's finger. When she saw the house, she sighed and said, "That family you mentioned must have died a long time ago!"

"Dead? How did you die?"

The old lady shook her head and said, "I don't know why they died, but the whole family was wiped out a few years ago. Not even a baby was left. It's pitiful."

After the old lady finished speaking, she turned and left, leaving Xu Yingying standing there, deep in thought.

"The whole family was wiped out... Could it be the Imperial Concubine's doing, killing people to silence them?" Xu Yingying thought as she walked towards the house. However, the closer she got to the house, the more she realized that something was wrong. There was resentment around the house, which meant that there were other ghosts around.

Just as Xu Yingying had this thought, suddenly, a shadow jumped out from the side and started fighting with the female ghost.

Xu Yingying was startled and had no time to stop it. When she looked over again, the two ghosts were already wrestling with each other. But looking at the figure that had just appeared, it seemed that she was dressed as a nanny in the palace.

Xu Yingying already had a guess about the identity of this female ghost.

Camellia was floating nearby, watching the fun. It was quite strange for her to see ghosts fighting in front of her.

"Camellia, stop watching the fun and separate them. I have something to ask you." Xu Yingying looked helplessly at Camellia, who was about to crack some melon seeds.

Camellia floated over with a lingering look on her face, shocking the two of them with her own imposing aura.

While bargaining for Camellia, the aunt in charge knelt on the ground, "Empress...?"

Her already pale face now looked even uglier.

"Are you still fighting?" Xu Yingying came forward with a smile.

The two ghosts looked at Camellia beside them and shook their heads tremblingly, "No, no more fighting. Please spare us. It was all the Imperial Concubine's orders. Don't blame us."

"Since you all said that it was the Imperial Concubine who ordered you to do it, then tell me what she asked you to do." Xu Yingying clapped her hands and looked at the two ghosts in front of her.

"This..." The aunt in charge was obviously still a little hesitant, but Xu Yingying's words gave her peace of mind.

"Don't forget, you are a ghost now. The Imperial Concubine can't control you, but I'm not sure about that. I can see you. What's more, you have also seen your Queen. If you don't tell the truth and she gets angry, I can't save you." Xu Yingying had an innocent look on her face, but her words were full of threats.

Camellia also cooperated and released the resentment around her body. She was originally a person who died suddenly, and she had the most resentment. People like the Aunt in Charge were nothing compared to her.

At this moment, the head aunt also became afraid. If she was crushed to ashes, she would really have no chance to reincarnate. A man of insight is a hero. She quickly expressed her loyalty, "Tell me, tell me everything, as long as the lord and the queen can spare my life."

"Hey, sir, you have to be careful with the Imperial Concubine! She is a ruthless person." The aunt in charge looked at Xu Yingying and said hesitantly.

Xu Yingying's expression tensed up and she asked, "Why do you say that?"

But the head aunt refused to say more, "Anyway, you can't go wrong if you are more careful in everything."

Xu Yingying nodded, "Thank you, Auntie. I'll take note of it. I'm sorry for what happened just now. Please leave."

When the aunt in charge heard this, she ran away without looking back.

After seeing this, Xu Yingying showed a helpless expression. Is she that scary?

The morning passed quickly and it was almost time for lunch. Xu Yingying looked at the palace maids coming in and out and the delicious dishes in their hands, full of anticipation.

The palace is the palace, and she is just a small official. However, she can receive such treatment. It is really worth the trip!

"Sir, let me serve you the meal." The maid walked forward respectfully, picked up the serving chopsticks and served food to Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying looked at her wide and large sleeves and was about to say that she didn't need them, but the words of the aunt in charge suddenly flashed through her mind. Her eyes moved and she swallowed back the words she was about to say.

Xu Yingying then said, "This dish looks good, and you served me well, so I'll give you a reward for the first bite."

The maid didn't expect Xu Yingying to say that. The smile on her face froze instantly. "My lord, you are joking. This is a reward from the emperor. How dare I eat it?"

"You also said that this dish was given to me as a reward. If that's the case, why don't you dare to eat it when I give it to you?"

Xu Yingying glanced at the maid with a half-smile, and said slowly: "Could it be that this dish is poisonous?"

thump!

The chopsticks in the maid's hand fell onto the table, her knees went weak, and she immediately knelt down.

"My Lord, be careful with your words! This is a gift from the Emperor. If you say this, aren't you doubting the Emperor?"

The maid pretended to be calm, but her lips kept trembling, showing that she was feeling guilty.
