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

Chapter 229 Ambiguity

After thinking for a moment, Camellia suddenly remembered.

Isn't this the clothes of her former maid?

After hearing what Camellia said, Xu Yingying fell into deep thought and immediately realized that this headless female ghost was also the key to tripping up the imperial concubine and finding out the cause of Camellia's death.

"I need you to give me some time to investigate your case. You have no idea about it at the moment, so it's difficult to investigate." Xu Yingying said helplessly to the headless female ghost.

The headless ghost subconsciously wanted to fight for it again, but when she turned her head to look at Camellia, she immediately shrank her neck and nodded, saying, "Okay, you decide!"

Hearing the words of the headless female ghost, Camellia immediately felt relieved.

In the following days, except for some necessary things that required her to go out, Xu Yingying stayed in her room to recuperate.

During this period, Li Siqi also visited Xu Yingying several times, but was interrupted by Camellia every time.

Every time Camellia sees Li Siqi, she will play a trick on him. However, since Camellia is a ghost, Li Siqi can't see it, so Li Siqi himself doesn't know that some "accidents" are caused by Camellia and are not real accidents.

Seeing that Camellia was getting more and more aggressive in washing Li Siqi, Xu Yingying thought that Camellia didn't like Li Siqi and was afraid that Camellia would hurt Li Siqi, so she called Camellia today to discuss the matter and give her some advice.

"Master, you are looking for me!" Camellia stared at Xu Yingying with her big eyes and asked innocently.

"Don't you like Li Siqi?" Xu Yingying asked straight to the point as soon as she saw Camellia.

After hearing this, Camellia's face looked extremely surprised. "Ah? Why do you think so?"

"Isn't it? Otherwise, why does it feel like you are always bullying her?" Xu Yingying couldn't help but ask back.

"Hehehe, I was just playing with him. As the saying goes, 'beating is love, scolding is affection.' I like him so much that I can't wait to like him. My way of recognizing others may be a little special, so don't mind it."

Camellia raised an eyebrow at Xu Yingying and said in a nonchalant manner.

Seeing Camellia's playful look, Xu Yingying didn't know what to say and just let the matter go.

Xu Yingying rested and recuperated for a while until she recovered.

When Xu Yingying was almost recovered, she couldn't wait to find Li Siqi, and Camellia followed her.

At this time, Li Siqi was in the study with a sad look on his face.

He was wondering why Li Siming had used some means to gain the favor of his father during this period. He was about to overthrow him, but then this happened.

"What's wrong? Are you worried about something?" Xu Yingying couldn't help but ask Li Siqi as she looked at him.

"It's okay." Li Siqi immediately showed his white teeth when he saw Xu Yingying.

"Okay! I feel like I'm almost recovered. I want to go into the palace to investigate for clues about the female corpse." Xu Yingying stated the purpose of her visit.

Li Siqi nodded. "That's great. I also need to go to the palace to do something. Why don't I go with you?"

On the carriage.

Li Siqi seemed a little absent-minded, staring out the window, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xu Yingying secretly watched Li Siqi.

All of this was seen by Camellia. She quietly slipped behind Xu Yingying and pushed her hard when she wasn't paying attention.

Suddenly, Xu Yingying fell into Li Siqi's arms due to inertia.

Xu Yingying looked at Li Siqi's angular face so close to her, and her heart started beating rapidly.

Li Siqi was also a little overwhelmed by this sudden scene, but he still subconsciously hugged Xu Yingying in his arms, fearing that Xu Yingying would get bumped again.

The two of them just kept hugging each other.

I don't know how much time passed until I heard the servant's voice outside the carriage, "Sir, we have arrived at the palace."

Xu Yingying reacted after hearing the voice, and quickly jumped out of Li Siqi's arms, whispering, "Thank you."

After saying this, she fled from the carriage.

Camellia watched the two's actions from the side with an auntie's smile on her face.

Xu Yingying returned to the room where she first saw the headless female ghost's body.

But this time she found that the originally tidy room was in a mess, and it was obvious that someone had rummaged through it.

As for who it is, that's easier to guess. No one would have the time to come here unless the murderer was afraid of being caught.

After all, this is the crime scene. How unlucky!

After Xu Yingying carefully checked the room, she finally found a pendant on the ground in the corner of the room.

The pendant is a lotus carved from pure gold. The craftsmanship is very exquisite and you can tell at first glance that it is not something that ordinary people can own.

Xu Yingying silently picked up the golden lotus pendant, stuffed it into her bag, and then left the palace.

night.

When Xu Yingying saw Li Siqi returning, she couldn't help but tell him about this matter, and handed the golden lotus to Li Siqi.

After carefully examining the golden lotus, Li Siqi said thoughtfully, "This lotus is very delicately carved. It doesn't look like something that ordinary people can own. It is most likely owned by someone of royal status."

"There is only one noble person in the palace who likes lotus... the Imperial Concubine!"

At the same time, all the clues they currently have point to the Imperial Concubine.

After hearing what Li Siqi said, Xu Yingying fell into deep thought.

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Li Siqi looked at Xu Yingying, who was frowning, and couldn't help but comfort her: "It's okay, the truth of the case will be revealed in due time, so let's not be so anxious."

Xu Yingying nodded.

The next second, Xu Yingying looked at Li Siqi's face which suddenly turned red.

Because she remembered how she threw herself into Li Siqi's arms in the carriage today.

Li Siqi also noticed the unusual atmosphere, so he made up an excuse to leave.

"Well, I still have a mission to complete, so I'll leave first."

Xu Yingying nodded, "Okay."

After watching Li Siqi leaving, Xu Yingying suddenly felt relieved, but at the same time she felt a little disappointed.

night.

In the room, Li Siqi actually took off his shirt in front of Xu Yingying.

When Xu Yingying saw Li Siqi's eight-pack abs, she became shy and her face felt hot as if it was on fire.

Li Siqi walked up to Xu Yingying, lifted her chin and said, "Baby, why are you shy? Come and spend this spring morning with me."

Then Li Siqi kissed Xu Yingying on the mouth.

……

"Sir, get up." Camellia's voice sounded in Xu Yingying's ears.

Xu Yingying sat up immediately.

It turned out to be a dream!

Xu Yingying was a little disappointed.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Camellia asked curiously.

"No, nothing happened." Xu Yingying felt shy when she thought about the dream she had yesterday.

After Xu Yingying simply washed up and went out, she saw Li Siqi, who was waiting for her at the dining table to eat together.

When Xu Yingying saw Li Siqi's face that brought disaster to the country and the people, she immediately remembered what happened last night.

"Well, I, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." After saying this, Xu Yingying left without giving Li Siqi a chance to stay.
