Chapter 354: Learning Mystic Arts
It was just a matter of lack of manpower, and Xu Yingying thought it would be better to recruit them as her own subordinates to do things for her. At least this would fulfill the master-servant relationship between Lian Qiao and her.
With Lian Qiao by her side, Xu Yingying did not feel nervous and uneasy as she had expected. Instead, she felt very comfortable because Lian Qiao knew all her preferences and took great care of her.
Li Siqi did as he said before. In just two hours, Li Siqi appeared in Fengyi Palace again.
"Li Siqi? You're back so soon? Is the morning court so short?" Xu Yingying was a little puzzled. Although she had lost her memory, she was not a fool after all and still knew some basic common sense.
Li Siqi just rubbed her head. "There aren't many things to do in the morning court recently. Besides, I am going to the morning court today just to arrange things for the next period of time. Since I am going to take you out of the palace, I naturally have to give some explanations to those old stubborn people, right?"
Xu Yingying agreed with what Li Siqi said, and turned her head away from thinking about it, "Then when do we set off?"
Li Siqi smiled but said nothing. Instead, he said to Lian Qiao, "Lian Qiao, go pack the bags for the Queen."
"Are we leaving now?!" Xu Yingying was extremely surprised. She had long wanted to avoid staying in this deep palace. Now that her dream was about to come true, how could Xu Yingying not be excited?
Li Siqi, accompanied by Xu Yingying and several other guards and followers, marched out of the palace in a mighty procession and returned to the Regent's Palace which had been idle for a long time.
Looking at the plaque above the gate of the mansion, Li Siqi felt as if he was in another world. On the other hand, Xu Yingying was just staring at the plaque blankly, as if she was thinking about something. Suddenly, Xu Yingying covered her head. She felt like her head was about to explode. She seemed to remember something just now, but when she tried to recall it, she felt her brain nerves were as painful as if they were pricked by needles.
Seeing Xu Yingying like this, Li Siqi hurriedly picked her up and carried her sideways, walking quickly into the mansion. Li Siqi originally wanted to take Xu Yingying to stroll around the mansion slowly and familiarize her with everything in the mansion again, but the accident happened too suddenly.
Li Siqi walked with big strides while asking someone to call the imperial physician. This time Li Siqi moved back to the Regent's Palace, so naturally he brought a lot of people out of the palace, including several imperial physicians headed by Wang Li.
The imperial physician had been in the middle of the team, and it took only half an incense stick of time for him to arrive in front of Li Siqi. "Your humble servants greet the emperor and the queen."
"Doctor Wang, please get up quickly. We need to act quickly in this emergency. There is no need to go through these superficial formalities. Come and take a look at the Queen. What happened? When she was at the gate of the mansion, the Queen looked like she had a headache, and now she is unconscious."
Li Siqi's tone was extremely anxious, and he spoke even more hurriedly.
Wang Li's face was also very serious. He began to carefully feel Xu Yingying's pulse. After a long time, Wang Li finally relaxed his frown and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The Queen is fine."
"Then why do I have so many headaches?" This is what bothers Li Siqi the most.
"I think that the Queen's headache is mostly caused by amnesia. Perhaps the Regent Palace has evoked the sealed memories deep in the Queen's mind, which caused the Queen's abnormal headache. As long as you pay more attention in the future, this situation will improve significantly."
Wang Li spoke very logically, but Li Siqi frowned and sent the man away. He then sat beside Xu Yingying's bed and carefully tidied her hair that was wet with sweat.
"Yingying, I will definitely help you regain your memory!" Li Siqi vowed to the unconscious Xu Yingying.
In the days that followed, the two lived together in the Regent's Palace. For this purpose, Li Siqi even specially sent people to travel back and forth between the palace and the imperial palace every day to deliver and receive daily memorials.
In addition, Li Siqi also dispatched more people to surround the palace openly and secretly, making it so tight that not even a fly could fly in.
But Li Siqi's move was so big, how could it be possible that no one in the capital knew about it?
The assassins who had been hiding in the capital and trying to kill Li Siqi were very excited after hearing that Li Siqi had moved out of the palace with Xu Yingying.
Just because it's hard to get into the palace doesn't mean it's hard to get out of the palace. The assassins knew they couldn't sneak into the palace to assassinate Li Siqi, so they might as well do something about the palace and try to sneak into it to assassinate Li Siqi.
But these people actually thought too simply of Li Siqi. Little did they know that the guards in the palace were even more severe than those in the imperial palace. Naturally, those assassins who came to kill her were all executed secretly by Li Siqi, and did not disturb Xu Yingying at all.
In the past few days, Xu Yingying's spirits have improved, but Li Siqi is still afraid that the same thing will happen again, so he detained Xu Yingying in bed for a long time before letting her leave the yard.
Seeing that Xu Yingying was somewhat bored in the mansion, Li Siqi simply began to teach Xu Yingying to familiarize herself with and learn to handle various affairs in the mansion. Even when Li Siqi realized that Xu Yingying knew nothing about his most proficient mysterious arts and was unfamiliar with their techniques, the idea of teaching Xu Yingying to learn mysterious arts popped into his mind.
With the idea that the mysterious technique might be able to stimulate Xu Yingying, Li Siqi began to rummage through the drawers and cabinets in the palace, looking for the books that Xu Yingying had previously put there. However, it had been a long time, and Li Siqi had forgotten where Xu Yingying had put that thing.
But his mind was still imprinted with what Xu Yingying had taught him, and Li Siqi made up his mind to teach Xu Yingying the mysterious arts himself.
Perhaps Xu Yingying is really talented. When Li Siqi mentioned some ghost-exorcism techniques to her, Xu Yingying didn't even need Li Siqi to repeat them. She almost always succeeded at once. This made Li Siqi sigh that it is really true that comparing yourself with others will make you feel depressed.
Xu Yingying was very interested in this kind of thing, so after Li Siqi taught her some exorcism spells, Xu Yingying tried to study it on her own, but it was not that easy. Xu Yingying found a book on exorcism from somewhere, and when she opened it, she saw her own handwriting inside.
Xu Yingying was stunned at first, then she realized that this should be what she had recorded before she lost her memory.
The more Xu Yingying looked at it, the more interesting it seemed to her. She never imagined that she was like this before.
