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

Chapter 353: Fear

But now Xu Yingying is back, but has lost all her memories. Li Siqi doesn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

Li Siqi remembered what the imperial physician had said. If one wanted to speed up the recovery of Xu Yingying's memory, one should use more past events to stimulate her, whether it was people or places, in short, it should be something Xu Yingying had experienced, especially those things that had caused a major impact on Xu Yingying in the past.

Li Siqi had thought about letting Su Mei continue to stay with Xu Yingying to provoke her, but he also discovered how afraid Xu Yingying was of Su Mei, so much so that even if she didn't remember anything, her body would still tremble involuntarily.

In this situation, Li Siqi was worried about leaving Su Mei next to Xu Yingying. He was afraid that Xu Yingying would be scared crazy by Su Mei before her memory recovered.

Looking around the Jingren Palace again, Li Siqi didn't know what his mood was like, but at least he knew one thing, after leaving Jingren Palace, there were not many good memories left for Xu Yingying. She was either assassinated or imprisoned by himself. The more Li Siqi thought about it, the more he felt that he was a worthless person at that time. Thinking of the end, he actually slapped himself in the face.

After much thought, Li Siqi decided to take Xu Yingying back to the Regent's Palace, which was his former prince's palace. At least there, they had not experienced all the mess in the palace. Perhaps it was more suitable for Xu Yingying now, Li Siqi thought.

In this way, Li Siqi sat by Xu Yingying's bed all night until dawn, when he fell asleep in his clothes on the soft couch beside her.

Xu Yingying slept very peacefully. It seemed that she had not slept so comfortably for a long time.

Sitting up from the bed, Xu Yingying turned her head and saw Li Siqi lying on the soft couch not far away. Xu Yingying noticed the faint dark circles under his eyes and felt a little distressed.

Xu Yingying got off the bed carefully, she was very careful, afraid of making any noise and waking up Li Siqi. But no matter how careful she was, the moment her feet touched the ground, Li Siqi suddenly opened his eyes and looked over. He noticed Xu Yingying's movements and suddenly became nervous. He didn't care about his current appearance and hurried to Xu Yingying's side.

"Yingying, what are you going to do?" Li Siqi asked nervously, afraid that Xu Yingying would leave him again.

Xu Yingying looked at Li Siqi's nervous expression and her heart softened. She had always been careless towards Li Siqi, and she seemed to believe what Li Siqi had said.

"Don't worry, I promised you that I won't leave." Xu Yingying said softly to comfort Li Siqi, who had almost no sense of security.

But Li Siqi hugged Xu Yingying tightly, with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to integrate her into his bones.

Xu Yingying was strangled by him and couldn't breathe. She patted his shoulder with difficulty and said, "Li Siqi, please be gentle. I can't breathe."

Li Siqi then woke up as if from a dream and quickly let go of his hand.

"Sorry, I..." Li Siqi didn't know how to explain, so he just pursed his lips and apologized in a low voice.

"It's okay, I just woke up and noticed that you looked a little strange. Were you dreaming just now?" Xu Yingying asked with concern, which made Li Siqi dazed for a while, and his eyes became wet unconsciously.

Xu Yingying looked at Li Siqi's slightly red eyes and felt distressed. "No, don't cry. Just tell me what's wrong. Why are you crying?"

Li Siqi still didn't say anything. He just listened to Xu Yingying's words, then he touched his eye sockets belatedly. Feeling the wetness on his fingers, Li Siqi was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that he would actually cry.

"I'm fine, I just had a nightmare. Yingying, I'm really afraid that you will disappear from my sight again. I was sorry for you before and failed to protect you, which is why you fell into the villain's trap. This time, I will definitely protect you well." Li Siqi seemed a little neurotic, and Xu Yingying actually heard a hint of paranoia in his words.

Xu Yingying kept comforting herself in her heart, thinking that maybe she was just overthinking. What if Li Siqi didn’t have such an idea?

Li Siqi asked Xu Yingying to wait for a while in Fengyi Palace, and then he dispatched a large number of manpower to once again cordon off Fengyi Palace inside and out.

“This time, if the Queen makes any more mishaps, I will kill all nine generations of your clan immediately!” Li Siqi’s eyes were full of cruelty. In his heart, Xu Yingying would always be the most important. If there were any more accidents this time, Li Siqi had no doubt that he would go completely crazy. By that time, it would probably be a disaster for the court.

The guards understood what Li Siqi meant. They knelt down and swore that they would definitely protect Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying stayed in Fengyi Palace accompanied by Lian Qiao. If you count it, Lian Qiao was the palace maid who lived the longest in Fengyi Palace.

Logically speaking, Lian Qiao was the personal maid who took care of Xu Yingying, and should have been the first person to be executed by Li Siqi, but for some reason, Li Siqi chose to let Lian Qiao go.

Perhaps, he thought, if Xu Yingying came back one day and found that everyone around her had been killed by him, he was afraid that Xu Yingying would be disappointed in him. This is why Li Siqi spared Lian Qiao's life.

Looking at Xu Yingying who appeared in front of him again, Lian Qiao was a little bit unbelievable. He even rubbed his eyes deliberately, fearing that everything in front of him was an illusion.

"Who is this little palace maid?" When Xu Yingying saw Lian Qiao for the first time, she felt that she was a little strange, so she asked Li Siqi. Xu Yingying's voice was not small, so Lian Qiao could hear it clearly. She just stood there in a daze, her hands and feet were cold, and she didn't know what was going on.

Li Siqi glanced at Lian Qiao, and then explained softly to Xu Yingying: "She was your servant before, and she is your personal maid. During my absence, she will take good care of you. Don't worry, I am just going to deal with some matters in the court. It won't take too long, and I will be back soon."

Xu Yingying nodded with relief, and then began to look at Lian Qiao who was kneeling in front of her unscrupulously. She felt that the other person looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere. But when she thought about it carefully, she could not grasp anything. This feeling made Xu Yingying very frustrated.

Since Lian Qiao was someone she was familiar with, Xu Yingying felt at ease to keep him by her side.
