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

Chapter 150 He returned to Beijing?

"What did you say? They came back a long time ago and have been treated in the Imperial Hospital for some time?"

Li Siming's eyes were red as he stared at the young eunuch in front of him.

He noticed something was wrong yesterday, but when he came back he thought it was probably his eyes playing tricks on him. It was impossible for that young county magistrate to appear in the Imperial Hospital.

But when he thought of Li Siqi's many schemes, he felt that it was better to be cautious. After returning, he immediately sent people to investigate the whereabouts of the two people.

It would have been fine if I hadn't checked, but when I did, I found out that the two people had already returned.

Damn!

What do those people do for a living? They actually let Li Siqi come back again!

The more Li Siming thought about it, the angrier he became, and his expression became increasingly uglier.

The young eunuch who was answering the question was so frightened that he fell to his knees.

"Reply... Reply to His Royal Highness, I don't know the specific situation, but I heard from the people in the Imperial Hospital that Chief Steward Su personally sent the Ninth Prince and his group to the Imperial Hospital for treatment, and they specifically told us to keep it a secret. If I hadn't mentioned you, they wouldn't have said it at all."

Li Siming took a deep breath and his teeth chattered.

"How are they doing?"

"I heard from the Imperial Hospital that both of them were not in good health when they first came, but after a period of treatment, County Magistrate Xu has gotten much better. As for the Ninth Prince, he is still in a coma, but he should wake up soon."

"Oh, that's a nice thought. I'm going to cripple his legs so that he won't be able to stand up again in his lifetime!"

Li Siming's eyes were sinister, and the viciousness in his words made the little guard shiver uncontrollably.

"You mean..."

Li Siming glanced at him and said, "Don't you know a eunuch from the Imperial Hospital? Find an opportunity and ask him to add something to Li Siqi's medicine. He doesn't need to die immediately, but only need to be paralyzed from the waist down. Even if he wakes up, he will be a useless person for the rest of his life."

"Yes, little one, let's do it right now."

……

In the Imperial Hospital.

Yitai walked into Li Siqi's room carrying the boiled medicine. When he opened the door, he saw Xu Yingying sitting tiredly on the chair in front of Li Siqi, taking a nap with her eyes closed.

He tiptoed to close the door and just put the medicine away. When he was hesitating whether to call Xu Yingying, he saw Xu Yingying open her eyes.

"I am sorry to bother you. You just came back recently. You should go back and have a good rest. I will take care of the Ninth Prince."

Xu Yingying rubbed her eyes, forced herself to cheer up, stood up, took the bowl of medicine, and said to Yitai.

"I know the Ninth Prince's health best, so it would be better if I take care of him. He is always in a coma, which is very harmful to his body, so the sooner he wakes up, the better."

Yitai nodded and stopped talking.

Xu Yingying gently stirred the spoon in the medicine bowl and blew gently from her mouth, hoping to cool it down before feeding it to Li Siqi.

But as soon as she got close to the medicine bowl, she was stunned.

He sniffed it again in disbelief.

This tastes wrong!

"Yita, has anyone touched this bowl of medicine?"

Yitai's face immediately became nervous. "The medicine was prepared by the Imperial Hospital staff and sent to me. I don't know who took any action. Is there a problem?"

Xu Yingying nodded, "Someone mixed something else into the medicine. I don't know if they did it while the medicine was being boiled or put it in afterward."

Yitai clenched his fists upon hearing this, "These people deserve to die!"

He turned around and was about to walk out, apparently going to settle accounts with the people from the Imperial Hospital.

Xu Yingying hurriedly called him, "Wait a minute!"

Seeing Yitai stop, she said, "It's not easy to make a big deal about this matter now. The other party is in the open and we are in the dark."

"If we make a scene today, the other party will know that this plan has failed, and it will be even more difficult for us to deal with other plans. It is better to pretend to fall into the trap first, let the other party relax their vigilance, and discuss all matters after the Ninth Prince wakes up."

"But this medicine..."

"Go to the Imperial Hospital quietly to get another set of medicine. I will boil the medicine myself when you come back."

"it is good."

time flies.

In a flash, another three days passed.

When Xu Yingying was holding the medicine bowl to feed Li Siqi medicine, she saw Li Siqi suddenly frowned. The next moment, he tilted his head to avoid the medicine bowl and uttered a word clearly.

"bitter!"

Xu Yingying was extremely surprised, but at the same time she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Open your eyes if you are awake. Why are you pretending to be unconscious? Fortunately, this medicine is bitter, otherwise you would have continued to pretend."

Li Siqi's long shoes and hat trembled slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing I saw was Xu Yingying’s smiling face.

Li Siqi was in the imperial palace and had seen many beauties, but for some reason, when he saw Xu Yingying's unmade-up masculine face, his chest inexplicably felt excited.

His eyes swept across the medicine bowl in her hand, his lips trembled slightly, and he smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry for having troubled you during this period, it's all because of my broken body..."

Xu Yingying hurriedly put her finger on his lips to stop him from saying the next words.

"Don't talk nonsense. You woke up at the right time. Yitai and I have some things that we can't handle, and we are waiting for you."

As she spoke, Xu Yingying recounted what happened after Li Siqi fell into a coma.

"I and Yi Tai thought about it again and again. When my father-in-law first sent us to the Imperial Hospital, the hospital took very good care of us. Later, when we asked for medicine packages a second time, the hospital also gave them to us. I think the person who hurt you is not in the hospital, but..."

Li Siqi's eyes darkened.

He slowly said, "No need to guess, it must be Li Siming who did it."

"he?"

"He has always been at odds with me, and he is suspicious and fickle. I believe you became suspicious when you met him that time, and when you found out that I was recuperating in the Imperial Hospital, you asked someone to do this."

Xu Yingying frowned, then continued, "Fortunately I understand pharmacology, otherwise I would have really fallen for him."

"Yeah, luckily you're here."

Li Siqi looked at Xu Yingying's vivid face and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the following days, Li Siming didn't know why nothing he did went smoothly.

Not only was he often impeached in the court, but sometimes he would step on dog poop while walking on the street. His bad luck was truly extreme.

Every time he would frown and curse a few words, thinking that he was just unlucky, but what he didn't know was that the two people who played pranks behind his back were always laughing heartily in the Imperial Hospital.

As Xu Yingying laughed, she couldn't help but think of the drought demon she had met before, and her face gradually darkened again.

Li Siqi noticed something was wrong with her and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I just feel uncomfortable when I think of Hanba and the people who were harmed by it."

"That thing is indeed difficult to deal with." Li Siqi nodded in agreement.

"I have been thinking hard these days and I think there may be a way to deal with it. You..."

She was just about to ask Li Siqi to help him ask the emperor for help again.

But the man interrupted her and said, "Okay, I'll go with you again."

"Ah? But your body..."

"Don't worry, I won't die as long as you are here."
