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

Chapter 301 Knowing the truth

Ye Dina was invited into the palace.

Considering that she was feeling a little unwell, Xu Yingying did not go out to greet Ye Dina, but let her into her bedroom.

As soon as Ye Dina entered the room, she saw Xu Yingying lying on the bed with a pale face and very weak.

"Oh, Princess Regent, are you okay? If I hadn't insisted on asking you to perform your talent, you wouldn't have ended up like this. After I went back, I felt uneasy and had to write you a letter of apology in person to make myself at ease."

Ye Dina said to Xu Yingying with a guilty look on her face.

But Xu Yingying saw through her evil plan at a glance. She said she felt extremely guilty, but in fact, she didn't see that Ye Dina felt any guilt at all.

Thinking of this, Xu Yingying felt a surge of anger in her stomach.

But she couldn't get angry, so she could only pretend to be very generous and said, "Your Highness, don't feel guilty. This has nothing to do with you. It's just that my fate with this child is too shallow."

Xu Yingying said against her will that she actually blamed herself more for being stubborn than blaming Ye Dina.

She is sadder than anyone else that her child is gone, but her responsibility is also greater than anyone else.

"It's good that you can think this way. You are still young and you will have children in the future. Now you mainly need to take care of your body. I brought you a lot of supplements. These supplements are all unique to the Western Regions."

After saying that, Ye Dina clapped her hands and signaled her men to hand the things to Xu Yingying's maid.

Wan'er walked forward obediently and took the things.

"Since I see that you are fine, I am relieved. I will not disturb your rest."

Ye Dina glanced around. She originally thought that Xu Yingying would go crazy when she saw her, but when she saw Xu Yingying's half-dead appearance, she instantly lost interest in making things difficult for her, so she wanted to turn around and leave.

"Okay, Princess, please take care. Wan'er, you go and see her off." Xu Yingying ordered.

"As you command, Princess."

Just like that, Wan'er personally sent Ye Dina out as the princess.

"Whoosh-"

Xu Yingying, who was about to lie down, suddenly felt a strange movement. She looked up and saw a female ghost appear in front of her.

A female ghost wearing blue clothes, who was dressed like someone from the Western Regions.

"You can see me, right?" the female ghost put her head in front of Xu Yingying and said.

"Yes, but I'm in a bad mood today. If you want me to help you solve a wrongful case, wait until I feel better!"

Xu Yingying said with a tired look on her face.

Unexpectedly, the female ghost did not retreat but directly said: "You are not in good health because your child died not long ago, right? What if I knew who killed your child?"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Yingying's eyes widened immediately. She asked the other party in disbelief, "What do you mean by that? Do you mean that the death of my child was not an accident? Was it carefully planned by someone?"

The ghost nodded when she heard this. "Yes, your child was killed by Ye Dina. Ye Dina first deliberately angered you and lured you into a trap. Then, after she knew that you were going to perform sword dancing, she deliberately scattered the beads in her hand on the ground without anyone noticing."

"You know what happened next. You accidentally stepped on it, then fell down and the child was gone." The female ghost said lightly.

When Xu Yingying heard this, she felt like she was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze for a long time, unable to calm down.

"My child...my child...was actually...killed by someone."

Xu Yingying couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Woooooooo..."

After a long time, Xu Yingying calmed down. She turned to look at the female ghost and said, "Thank you for telling me the truth. What do you want me to do for you? Find out who killed you?"

There was not a single good spot on the female ghost's body. One could tell at a glance that she must have suffered a lot of abuse during her lifetime and did not die a natural death.

Unexpectedly, the female ghost shook her head and said, "I don't need you to help me find my murderer, because I already know who the murderer is. It's Ye Dina."

"We have a common enemy, so I came to you. I hope you can kill Ye Dina to avenge me. I was Ye Bhutan, the maid who helped Ye Dina wash and dress. When I was combing her hair, I accidentally used a little too much force and the comb shaved off her hair. She ordered people to beat me to death."

Ye Bhutan seemed particularly calm when talking about his own death.

Hearing this, Xu Yingying also felt that the other person was a pitiful person.

"Okay, I promise you." Xu Yingying agreed without hesitation.

Today, Li Siqi was not idle either. Thanks to Li Siqi's efforts, the Western Regions and the Great Zhou temporarily signed a ceasefire agreement, and the two countries were preparing for a friendly alliance.

Everything has basically been arranged, and it is time for Ye Dina and the envoys to leave.

The envoys and the Wen Wa army had already left, but Ye Dina stayed in Da Zhou and refused to leave. Not only that, she also harassed Li Siqi with all kinds of matters related to the two countries.

Inside the palace.

Li Siqi was discussing state affairs with his ministers in a side hall. At this critical moment, Li Siqi's confidant Xu Ruohao walked in with a bad look on his face, and whispered in Li Siqi's ear: "Sir, Princess Wenwa is looking for you outside, saying that she has something important to discuss with you."

Li Siqi felt overwhelmed when he heard this. He refused without hesitation: "Tell her that I am busy dealing with important matters in the court and have no time to see her."

Li Siqi said with an impatient look on his face. He was annoyed when he heard Ye Dina's name, let alone seeing her. However, Ye Dina didn't seem to feel Li Siqi's naked disgust at all. Instead, she pestered Li Siqi like a wronged ghost.

As he was in a bad mood, Li Siqi briefly discussed with a few ministers and then asked everyone to leave.

After thinking about it, Li Siqi felt that this was not a good idea. He was in the palace, and Ye Dina was also in the palace. Wouldn't that mean she would be looking for opportunities to harass him every day?

Thinking of this, Li Siqi felt that he could not stay in the palace like this any longer, so he waved his hand and instructed Xu Ruohao beside him: "Xu Ruohao, pack up my things and move them to the palace. From today on, I will handle government affairs in the palace."

Xu Ruohao was slightly stunned when he heard Li Siqi's words, but he quickly realized that Li Siqi was trying to snatch Ye Dina.

"Yes, my lord."

Xu Ruohao was very efficient. Within an hour, all of Li Siqi's belongings in the palace had been moved to the palace by Xu Ruohao.

This scene happened to be seen by Ye Dina who came to look for Li Siqi. Ye Dina was shocked to see that the bedroom where Li Siqi used to handle government affairs had been emptied.
