Chapter 324 Luck
Chapter 324 Luck
After leaving the prison, Li Siqi took Lu Ming straight to the suburbs. The closer they got to the suburbs, the more Lu Ming could feel the attraction of the jade pendant.
In the end, the man and the ghost stopped under an old willow tree in the center of the stronghold. The willow tree is yin in nature and is the most suitable place for ghosts to recuperate. This is why this group of evil cultivators wanted to build their stronghold here.
Li Siqi dug a hole under the willow tree and began to look for the jade pendant. Sure enough, not long after, Li Siqi saw a flawless piece of white jade with patterns carved on it. It felt cool and comfortable in his hand. The jade pendant was buried very close to the roots of the willow tree. It seemed that this group of evil cultivators were using the jade pendant to nourish the willow tree.
Lu Ming cried with joy as she looked at the jade pendant that she had lost and found. Li Siqi used some special methods so that when Lu Ming could touch the jade pendant, she stroked the object in her hand and choked up and said, "I seem to have been dead for a long time. I don't know why I died, but I remember this jade pendant very clearly. It was left to me by my mother and later became my burial object."
"But for some reason, this group of evil cultivators dug up my grave, took the jade pendant, and messed up my body. As a result, I have no way to reincarnate. Thank you for helping me find it. My wish has been fulfilled, and it is time for me to go."
Lu Ming said as he drew out a stream of white energy from his soul body. "This is the spiritual energy in my body. Please pass it on to Yingying for me and say thank you for me. This spiritual energy will bless her and the child. I hope they can live a peaceful life. I will always pray for them."
Lu Ming's figure gradually faded, and then disappeared in front of Li Siqi. This was the first time that Li Siqi had truly sent away a ghost, which shocked him. He didn't understand why Xu Yingying kept doing this kind of thing, but now Li Siqi understood Xu Yingying's choice.
When he returned to the mansion again, Xu Yingying was still sleeping soundly. It didn't take Li Siqi long to deal with the evil matter. As the sun was setting, Li Siqi simply woke up Xu Yingying. They had a simple dinner. He carefully avoided the wounds on Xu Yingying's body and hugged her while lying on the bed.
"Where is Lu Ming?" Xu Yingying then remembered to ask about Lu Ming.
Li Siqi briefly explained the matter to Xu Yingying, concealing what he had done to the evil path, and handed over the things that Lu Ming gave him to Xu Yingying, "This is the spiritual energy in Lu Ming's body. She said to give it to you."
Xu Yingying carefully took the spiritual energy, but her expression was a little complicated.
"Aqi, do you know what this thing means to ghosts?" Xu Yingying asked in a low voice.
"What?" Li Siqi was a little confused and didn't know what Xu Yingying was talking about.
"It's better to call this thing luck than spiritual energy. In other words, you can think of it as the luck a ghost had during his lifetime. But the luckier you were during your lifetime, the thinner the luck in your soul will be after you die. This luck will affect the ghost's reincarnation." Xu Yingying explained to Li Siqi what this spiritual energy was.
"The thing that Lu Ming gave me..." Li Siqi was also shocked. He didn't expect Lu Ming to give him such a precious thing.
"Lu Ming gave me the luck in her soul, and this luck seems to be very strong. I think she was an unfortunate girl in her lifetime. According to her current luck in her soul, she would become a very happy little girl in her next life, but now..." Xu Yingying's mood is very complicated now.
After a long while, Li Siqi finally said, "Take it. This is also a token of Lu Ming's appreciation. She should know the impact this thing will have on her. Since she did this, she must have her own considerations."
Xu Yingying nodded, thinking that Li Siqi was right, and the two fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next day, the two went to find Huang Shaohua early in the morning. The matter of going to Jun County had been resolved, and there was no need or reason for them to stay in Jun County. Besides, things in the capital were more important.
Huang Shaohua also knew that the overall situation was more important, so he did not try to persuade them to stay, but only told them to be careful.
On the way back to the capital, they did not stop for a moment. In just four hours, they returned to the capital again.
After entering the city gate, Xu Yingying looked outside through the window of the carriage. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the scene seemed to be thriving, much better than before.
After returning to the palace and resting for a night, Li Siqi went to court early the next day. After the morning court, Li Siqi looked at the pile of memorials in the imperial study and felt a headache. An idea emerged in his mind that he should have stayed in Jun County for two more days.
But no matter how much of a headache it was, he still had to review the memorials. The ministers could help handle government affairs, but he had to do these things himself.
Li Siqi stayed in the imperial study from morning till dusk. Looking at the half-finished memorial in front of him, he simply threw down the red pen in his hand.
"Why are there still so many?" Li Siqi muttered to himself in distress.
At this time, the door of the imperial study was pushed open. Li Siqi was already very annoyed, and now someone came in without saying hello. It seemed that he was fed up with living.
"Bold!..." Li Siqi raised his eyes and swept towards the door with sharp eyes, and met Xu Yingying's half-smile.
"The Regent is so majestic. I don't know how you can be so bold?" Xu Yingying's teasing voice came over.
The expression on Li Siqi's face changed instantly, "Yingying, you are finally here. Look at so many memorials. I want to burn them all with fire. I have only been out for a few days, and look, so many have accumulated. I even suspect that those ministers are deliberately making trouble for me." Li Siqi complained to Xu Yingying aggrievedly.
Xu Yingying looked at the pile of memorials on the ground in front of her and was amazed. "Come on, you are just thinking about it. You still have to correct it carefully. Look, I am here to bring you something."
As she spoke, Xu Yingying raised the food box in her hand, and Li Siqi quickly reached out to take it. As soon as he got close, he smelled the rich aroma inside, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"Open it and take a look?"
Li Siqi couldn't wait to open the lunch box and saw several plates of his favorite food inside. "I specifically asked before coming here, and the eunuch in the palace said that you didn't eat much for lunch, so I cooked some of your favorite food myself. Come and try it. You don't have to stay in the palace until a certain time tonight." Xu Yingying handed Li Siqi a pair of chopsticks.
"In the future, just let the servants do this kind of thing. You are pregnant now." As he said this, Li Siqi reached out and touched Xu Yingying's slightly bulging belly.
