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

Chapter 379 Soft Heart

She returned to the palace safely. Returning to this familiar place again, Xu Yingying was filled with emotion.

I originally thought that I would never come back after leaving this time, but unexpectedly, after a trip, I returned to the capital.

"You are not in any trouble, are you? Is there anything you need my help with?"

"Don't worry, I've already dealt with everything that needs to be dealt with, you just need to stay here."

Li Siqi answered confidently.

Xu Yingying nodded without saying much. She planned to have a good rest. They basically did not stop in the second half of the journey. Apart from the daily supplies, they traveled day and night and finally returned to the capital in the shortest time.

When he woke up, many people came to visit him, all of them were ministers in the court.

They all knew what Xu Yingying meant to Li Siqi. The fact that Li Siqi could leave the affairs of the court and go there in person was enough to prove everything.

"Greetings to the empress."

"You are too polite. I am just a common woman and I don't deserve to be called that."

Xu Yingying was not surprised by this and handled it very easily without any pressure.

Li Siqi breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this scene. Several waves of ministers came to visit him one after another, and Xu Yingying entertained them one by one.

If he came to visit at this time, he was either here to admit his mistake or he was a powerful official on Li Siqi's side. It was neither reasonable nor moral to refuse him. She didn't want to make things difficult for Li Siqi.

The news of Xu Yingying's return to the capital soon reached the ears of the head, who immediately arranged for people to sneak into the palace that night and try to kidnap Xu Yingying using the old method.

"Remember this, you guys, you can only succeed on this trip, and you can't fail. Otherwise, don't come back to see me."

"Yes."

Several assassins sneaked into the palace easily.

They did everything very secretly, not knowing that their whereabouts were under Li Siqi's watch from the very beginning.

"I knew these people wouldn't behave themselves. Kill them all without leaving a single one alive."

Xu Yingying is Li Siqi's Achilles' heel, and he will never allow anyone to hurt Xu Yingying.

The assassins were not given a chance to react; a wave of arrows killed them in the palace.

The noise outside soon caught Xu Yingying's attention. She roughly guessed what had happened and did not go out to investigate.

After being away from the capital for such a long time, Li Shen could already speak simply. At this moment, he tightly grasped Xu Yingying's sleeve and kept calling her mother. Seeing his soft and cute look, Xu Yingying felt a little soft-hearted.

"Mom, give me a hug."

"good!"

Xu Yingying hugged him in her arms, he leaned on Xu Yingying's chest, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Even when he was asleep, his little hands were tightly grasping Xu Yingying's sleeves, as if he was afraid that if he opened his eyes, Xu Yingying would disappear from his sight again.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yingying's idea of ​​leaving this world finally wavered a little. It turned out that she also had attachment to this place.

After Xu Yingying regained her memory, she couldn't bear to be cruel to Li Shen. After all, he was her own flesh and blood, and the family affection engraved in their blood could not be severed.

Helplessly, Xu Yingying had to continue to accompany Li Shen in Jingren Palace. Li Shen had grown up a little now, could walk, and speak some simple words. Correspondingly, children of this age became more clingy and needed their parents' company more and more.

Li Shen was previously raised by a wet nurse, and he was a well-behaved child. All he did every day was eat and sleep, and occasionally exercise. He never cried or made a fuss, and was extremely well-behaved, saving his wet nurse a lot of worry.

But now I don’t know what’s going on, maybe it’s because his biological mother is around, Li Shen will cry at the slightest provocation, especially when Xu Yingying has some unavoidable things to deal with and leaves Li Shen’s side, even if the nanny holds him and coaxes him, it still doesn’t work.

It was not until Xu Yingying took Li Shen from the nanny's hands and held him in her arms that, strangely enough, even if Xu Yingying did nothing, Li Shen would immediately stop crying and nestle obediently in Xu Yingying's arms.

It might be a coincidence once or twice, but after it happened so many times, Xu Yingying knew that Li Shen must have done it on purpose. Xu Yingying also wanted to cure Li Shen of this habit, but every time she hid in the dark and saw Li Shen crying out of breath, her heart couldn't help but soften.

Every time she saw Li Shen giggling in her arms, Xu Yingying would just smile helplessly and reach out to pinch his chubby little face. "You little brat, you really know how to torture people. You cry like this when I leave you for a while. When you grow up and think of how you look now, I'm afraid you'll be so ashamed that you'll crawl into the ground."

Li Shen naturally didn't understand what Xu Yingying was saying, but the wet nurse beside him smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this. The Crown Prince is just still young and inevitably misses his mother. With his mother by his side, the Crown Prince will always feel more at ease."

"Crown Prince?" Xu Yingying frowned. If she remembered correctly, Li Siqi had never said that he wanted to make Li Shen the crown prince, and Xu Yingying had no intention of letting Li Shen take the throne.

"Your Majesty, you don't know, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was chosen during the time when Your Majesty had an accident. At that time, the former dynasty was in an uproar over this matter." The wet nurse briefly explained to Xu Yingying, but Xu Yingying frowned even more tightly, but she still said nothing.

During this period, apart from handling state affairs, Li Siqi spent the rest of his time in Jingren Palace, which made Xu Yingying a little uncomfortable with it. It was not Xu Yingying's fault, because the things Li Siqi had done before had left a very deep impression on Xu Yingying.

In front of Li Siqi, Xu Yingying did not reveal the slightest flaw, but after spending time with her day and night, Li Siqi still discovered that Xu Yingying was different from before.

Now Xu Yingying is not as distant to Li Shenyuan as last time, and Li Siqi has carefully observed Xu Yingying's eyes. There is clearly kindness in her eyes when she looks at Li Shen. Although it is hidden very deeply, it is still noticed.

Li Siqi's intuition told him that Xu Yingying's memory had probably been restored. The Chrysanthemum Fairy had told him about this before, and he had gone to test it himself or asked others to test it, but Xu Yingying did not reveal any flaws. Therefore, Li Siqi just thought that the Chrysanthemum Fairy was framing him.

But now, Li Siqi once again remembered what the Chrysanthemum Fairy said when he was in Sanqing Temple, and Li Siqi couldn't help but frowned.

But no matter what, Li Siqi found the Chrysanthemum Fairy again.

The Chrysanthemum Fairy also followed the two of them to the capital. For ghosts, the capital has a fatal temptation. The capital has abundant spiritual energy and is a good place for ghosts to practice.
