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

Chapter 263 Spiritualism

"I think given the Imperial Concubine's personality, she will definitely do something. We just need to send someone to keep an eye on her and see what she is up to, and then stop her at the critical moment."

Xu Yingying spoke thoughtfully.

Li Siqi nodded in agreement after hearing this, "Okay, let's do as you say!"

In the following days, the imperial concubine behaved exceptionally well-behaved, as if nothing had happened.

But Xu Yingying and Li Siqi both understood deeply that based on their understanding of the Imperial Concubine, this was just the calm before the storm.

Sure enough, after the imperial concubine had been well-behaved for a while, she could no longer hold herself back.

At night, the secret guards that Li Siqi sent to secretly watch the imperial concubine appeared in front of Xu Yingying and Li Siqi.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine's personal maid Pei'er sneaked out and seemed to want to go to Jingren Palace. I wonder what she is going to do."

The secret guard said to Li Siqi respectfully.

Xu Yingying felt something was wrong when she heard this, and blurted out subconsciously: "She's not trying to destroy the evidence of the Queen's death, is she?"

After hearing this, Li Siqi looked at each other and he also felt that this was most likely the reason.

"No, we have to stop her!"

After saying that, Li Siqi and Xu Yingying quickly rushed to Jingren Palace.

When Xu Yingying and others arrived, Pei'er had already entered the bedroom of Jingren Palace and turned the palace upside down.

As Pearl turned the pages, she murmured in confusion, "Oh, that's strange? Where can they put the queen's feet?"

This scene was caught by Xu Yingying and Li Siqi.

Xu Yingying rushed forward without hesitation and grabbed Pei'er, "What are you looking for? Pei'er."

Pei'er, who was concentrating on looking for something at this time, was suddenly frightened. She turned around and looked up and saw Xu Yingying, and she was suddenly extremely panicked.

"Greetings... Lord Xu... His Highness the Ninth Prince... Reporting to His Highness... This servant, this servant, is not looking for anything."

Pei'er stammered, her eyes full of guilt, and she didn't dare to look directly into Xu Yingying's eyes.

"Oh? Really? Are you looking for the late queen's feet? Do you want to destroy the evidence?"

It was obvious that Pei'er didn't want to admit it, so Xu Yingying directly grabbed Pei'er's hand and questioned her.

Of course, Pei'er was not a pushover either. Seeing that Xu Yingying insisted that she was here to destroy the evidence, she simply turned the tables on Xu Yingying.

"Master Xu, you are really joking. How dare I touch the things of the late queen? It's just that the imperial concubine lost something this morning, so I was sent to look for it."

"Lord Xu and the Ninth Prince, it's so late, it would be fine if you didn't rest, but why are you still here?" Pei'er replied to Xu Yingying very calmly.

Xu Yingying got angry when she heard this. "What do you mean? Are you doubting me?"

Xu Yingying rushed forward and immediately grabbed Pei'er's arm and said, "Why didn't I see how eloquent you are before? Since you don't admit it, then I will let His Majesty the Ninth Prince lock you up in the Shenxing Division and let you experience all 72 punishments there. Then we'll see if you're still so arrogant and stubborn."

Pei'er's face changed immediately when she heard that. She tried to pull her hand out of Xu Yingying's, but Xu Yingying held it too tightly and she couldn't pull it out no matter how many times she tried.

"Why should I follow you, Lord Xu, to the Shenxing Division? I haven't done anything wrong. If I am suspicious, then Lord Xu and His Highness the Ninth Prince are also suspicious for appearing here late at night."

Pei'er's words successfully angered Xu Yingying again, and the two of them successfully became entangled with each other.

During the scuffle, Xu Yingying became annoyed when she saw Pei'er was not giving in, so she pushed Pei'er out.

Pei'er lost her balance and hit the corner of the table in the room with a bang.

The next second, blood began to flow from Pearl's head, and Pearl fell over with her eyes rolled over.

Both Xu Yingying and Li Siqi were shocked by the sudden change at the scene.

Xu Yingying was extremely flustered. She carefully moved closer to Pei'er and used her hand to feel Pei'er's breath. The result immediately made her face change color.

"Dead, dead, she's dead, I didn't mean to do it." Xu Yingying suddenly became at a loss.

At the same time, Pei'er's soul came out of her body. She glanced at her own corpse indifferently and went to the underworld without hesitation to prepare for reincarnation.

"I know, I know you are innocent. I will prove it for you. I saw everything just now." Li Siqi tried desperately to comfort Xu Yingying.

But Xu Yingying shook her head helplessly. She knew the Imperial Concubine too well. She would definitely not miss such a good opportunity to deal with her. Moreover, Xu Yingying had no way to defend herself now. She had no evidence at all, let alone prove her innocence.

Facts have also proved that Xu Yingying's worries are not unfounded.

After a while, the Imperial Concubine appeared out of nowhere. When she entered Jingren Palace and saw Pei'er's body on the ground, her eyes widened in shock and she covered her mouth in surprise.

"You, you, you all, Master Xu, even if my maid is wrong, you can just tell me and let me deal with it, and you don't have to kill her!"

"By doing this, do you take me seriously? Do you take the emperor seriously?" The imperial concubine questioned Xu Yingying without hesitation.

At this time, Li Siqi, who was standing by, saw that something was wrong and quickly stood up to defend Xu Yingying and said, "The Imperial Concubine is wrong. I can testify for Lord Xu and prove that she is innocent."

"Pei'er didn't sleep in the middle of the night and sneaked here. Lord Xu and this prince found her. Then, when Pei'er and Lord Xu were tug-of-war, she lost her balance and accidentally knocked her head on the table."

Li Siqi spoke without hesitation.

The emperor also arrived at this time. On the way here, he had already heard Su Shengyuan's general account of the whole story.

"See your Majesty, long live your Majesty."

"See you, my father. Long live my father. Long live my father."

"Get up!" The emperor said, rubbing his temple and feeling a little headache.

"Yes, Father."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

As soon as the three of them stood up, the imperial concubine began to cry and complain to the emperor about Xu Yingying.

"Your Majesty, please help me. I only have this one maidservant who has been serving me since I came to the palace. She died in such an unclear and unclear way. What should I do?"

The Imperial Concubine cried to the Emperor.

The emperor felt overwhelmed when he saw this.

He turned to look at Xu Yingying and asked, "Master Xu, based on what you said, do you have any evidence to prove that you are innocent?"
