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

Chapter 332 Paranoia

Li Siqi's eyes swept across the two people beside him, and the vague murderous intent around him made Xu Yingying feel a little uncomfortable.

"Your servants will take their leave." The two of them responded quickly and retreated. In the huge imperial garden, only Xu Yingying and Li Siqi were left.

At this time, Li Siqi no longer suppressed the longing in his heart. He took two steps at a time, stepped forward and hugged Xu Yingying in his arms.

"Yingying, I miss you so much." Li Siqi buried his head in Xu Yingying's neck and said aggrievedly.

Xu Yingying didn't buy Li Siqi's trick. She reached out and pushed Li Siqi's head, but it didn't move at all, so she simply gave up.

"Your Majesty is very busy with affairs. It is my blessing that he has remembered to see me now." Xu Yingying spoke in a sarcastic tone, and her words made Li Siqi feel even more guilty.

"Yingying, it's all my fault. It's all my fault. Don't be angry." Li Siqi apologized aggrievedly. Seeing Li Siqi, Xu Yingying's anger was much less. Seeing him like this, how could Xu Yingying be angry with him anymore?

"Okay, stop joking. Tell me, what have you been doing during this period of time?" Xu Yingying was still very curious about what Li Siqi had been doing without telling her.

"It's nothing, just dealing with a few disobedient bugs. It's not worth Yingying's trouble." Li Siqi's face changed for a moment, and he obviously didn't want to say more to Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying's expression changed instantly, and her face darkened, "Li Siqi, you still won't tell me anything?"

Hearing Xu Yingying's tone change, Li Siqi froze for a moment, and a trace of entanglement flashed across his face, but he still said: "Yingying, those are just traitors, why are you angry because of them?"

Xu Yingying stared at Li Siqi for a long while, and then she spoke: "Your Majesty is right, I was overthinking it."

Seeing Xu Yingying give in, Li Siqi breathed a sigh of relief without making a sound.

"Look, all the flowers in the Imperial Garden are in bloom. Shall we go and take a look?" Li Siqi looked at Xu Yingying hopefully.

After obtaining Xu Yingying's consent, Li Siqi enthusiastically took Xu Yingying to the center of the Imperial Garden.

There were not many masters in the huge harem, and the rest were large numbers of palace maids, eunuchs and guards. However, the Imperial Garden was well maintained by those eunuchs and palace maids. It was spring time, and the scenery of the Imperial Garden was at its best.

Xu Yingying forced herself to ignore the unpleasantness that had just occurred between her and Li Siqi, and began to concentrate on appreciating the beautiful scenery in the Imperial Garden.

She looked around and thought of Li Shen, who was still in Fengyi Palace and had rarely left the palace. She turned to look at Li Siqi and said, "I didn't expect this imperial garden to be so beautiful. When the weather is better, I'll take Shen out for a walk, okay?"

Xu Yingying's words were also meant to test Li Siqi. She wanted to know, since Li Siqi's problem had been resolved, he couldn't keep imprisoning herself and the child forever.

But Li Siqi's face darkened. He did not directly answer Xu Yingying's question. Instead, he said, "Shen'er is still young and needs to be taken care of. When Shen'er is older, I will come with you and bring Shen'er back, okay?"

Xu Yingying was silent, her heart sank to the bottom. She knew what Li Siqi was talking about. In fact, Li Siqi's words were very clear. Her leaving Fengyi Palace this time was just a chance given to her by Li Siqi. After today, she was afraid that she would have to stay in that square palace for an unknown period of time.

According to Xu Yingying's temper, she should have quarreled with Li Siqi, but somehow, Xu Yingying suppressed her temper, changed the subject, and did not choose to argue with Li Siqi about this matter.

But Xu Yingying knew very well that Li Siqi was indeed different from before, and she needed to find an opportunity to figure out what had happened since Li Siqi ascended the throne.

The two continued walking in the Imperial Garden, but it was obvious that both of them had a lot on their minds. If their old friends saw the way they were getting along now, they would certainly be shocked. No one has ever seen the two of them look harmonious but not harmonious at heart.

The two walked side by side in silence. From time to time, Li Siqi mentioned that he was feeling particularly happy right now, but Xu Yingying didn't understand what Li Siqi was talking about at all. She didn't want to ask, but just listened silently, and from time to time she echoed Li Siqi's thoughts.

In this way, the two of them actually achieved a strange peace.

Finally, the chief eunuch came in and whispered something in Li Siqi's ear. Li Siqi's face changed for a moment, and then he waved his hand, signaling the eunuch to go down first, and he looked at Xu Yingying.

"Yingying, I'm sorry for having troubled you during this period of time, but I still have some things to deal with. Someone, come, send the Queen back to the palace." Just as Li Siqi finished speaking, several guards came over from nowhere and saluted the two of them.

After saying that, Li Siqi turned and left, without giving Xu Yingying a chance to speak, leaving her standing there alone. After a long time, Xu Yingying still did not move, just stood there in a daze.

The guard leader who was kneeling on the ground could no longer bear it and said cautiously, "Queen, please."

Xu Yingying then withdrew her gaze and glanced at the commander of the guards lightly. Just one glance and the other's back was covered in cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, I am only following the orders of the Emperor. I hope Your Majesty will not make it difficult for me."

"I know. Let's go." Xu Yingying said in a cold voice, and then she took the lead and walked towards Fengyi Palace.

The guards looked at each other, then quickly got up from the ground and chased after them. Xu Yingying gave a sarcastic smile to the group of guards behind her.

She knew in her heart that Li Siqi's words were to ask someone to send her back to the palace. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to keep an eye on her and prevent her from running around. It was like a close surveillance.

As Xu Yingying had expected, after she stepped into Fengyi Palace, the palace gate was closed again. When she wanted to go out, she was stopped by the guards outside the door.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has ordered that you should have a good rest in the palace. This..." The guard looked at Xu Yingying with embarrassment.

Xu Yingying sneered, said nothing, closed the door and returned to the hall.

"Your Majesty..." Huaer came to Xu Yingying with a bowl of tonic in her hand, "Your Majesty, this is the bird's nest that the emperor sent. He said it was a new tribute this year. Your Majesty, please try it."

"Just leave it there. I have no appetite right now." Xu Yingying pointed casually.

"What are you worried about, Madam?" Hua'er put down the bird's nest as she was told and asked considerately.
