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

Chapter 387 Having a nightmare

But Xu Yingying was completely different from Li Siqi. She kept her eyes open, smelling the familiar scent of Li Siqi, but she couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

She raised her head, looked at Li Siqi's sleeping face, and sighed silently in her heart. She still felt a little reluctant.

Perhaps because she was thinking too much and was too tired, Xu Yingying fell asleep in a daze, but her sleep was a little uneasy.

She had a very long dream. In the dream, the Western Regions and the Great Zhou went to war. Li Siqi led the army in person. Xu Yingying was worried and followed him stubbornly. However, her fighting skills were not as good as Li Siqi's. At the front line, Li Siqi went to the battlefield in person, while Xu Yingying waited for Li Siqi to come back in the camp.

However, the first ones to arrive were assassins sent from the Western Regions. The camp was empty, and the secret guards guarding Xu Yingying were no match for them. Even though Xu Yingying fought hard, she was eventually kidnapped by the assassins from the Western Regions.

When she returned to the Western Regions again, Xu Yingying was filled with fear. The people in the Western Regions did not intend to let Xu Yingying go. They tried all kinds of torture on Xu Yingying and finally tied her up and sent her to the battlefield.

Xu Yingying thought that the people from the Western Regions wanted to use her to threaten Li Siqi, but she didn't expect that the group of people would actually kill her in front of Li Siqi. In her dream, the last thing Xu Yingying saw before she died was Li Siqi rushing towards her with bloodshot eyes, but it was too late.

Xu Yingying thought that she was dead and her soul could return to the modern era, but she was horrified to find that her soul seemed to be trapped beside Li Siqi and could never go back.

Perhaps the dream was too real. Xu Yingying screamed and sat up from the bed, her head covered in cold sweat. The pain of her heart being pierced seemed still vivid in her mind. Her thoughts were stuck in the dream just now, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

"Yingying, what's wrong?" Li Siqi was awakened by Xu Yingying's movements. When he opened his eyes, he saw Xu Yingying in shock and hugged her worriedly.

Xu Yingying seemed not to hear what Li Siqi said and was still immersed in her own world.

It was not until Li Siqi called Xu Yingying a few more times that Xu Yingying came back to her senses. She looked at Li Siqi with wet eyes, which made Li Siqi's heart tremble again and again.

"Yingying, what happened?" Li Siqi asked worriedly, the worry in his eyes almost overflowing.

"Li Siqi..." As soon as Xu Yingying opened her mouth, her voice was filled with tears. She hugged Li Siqi and began to cry silently.

Feeling the wetness on his shoulder, Li Siqi was at a loss, "Yingying, don't cry, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

Xu Yingying calmed herself down and told Li Siqi briefly about her dream, but she concealed her desire to go home.

Li Siqi hugged Xu Yingying tightly, and kept comforting her: "It's okay, it won't happen. The things in your dream won't happen. I won't let you have an accident again. I promise. Don't be afraid, okay?"

Li Siqi repeatedly assured Xu Yingying, and Xu Yingying gradually felt relieved. She was also tired, and soon she fell asleep in Li Siqi's arms.

Looking at Xu Yingying's sleeping face and her red eyes, Li Siqi felt more distressed and self-blame, blaming himself for treating Xu Yingying in that way before, causing Xu Yingying to feel so insecure now.

The next day, when Li Siqi woke up, Xu Yingying was still sleeping soundly. He got off the bed carefully. The servants who helped Li Siqi change his clothes were also extremely gentle, for fear of waking up Xu Yingying who was still sleeping.

After leaving the bedroom, Li Siqi summoned his eunuch in charge and ordered: "From now on, the number of guards in Jingren Palace will be doubled. In addition, half of my secret guards will be assigned to guard the queen. Be careful not to let the queen get hurt, otherwise, I will make them pay for it."

The eunuch in charge was also a little embarrassed and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the secret guards have always been there to protect your Majesty's safety. Let's give half to the Queen, right..."

"Why? When did you ever question my decision? Or do you think the queen is less important than me?"

Li Siqi's dangerous voice rang in the eunuch's ears. How could he dare to say another word? He immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to apologize.

When Xu Yingying woke up, she found that there were many more people in her palace. Xu Yingying couldn't help but frown. Thinking of what Li Siqi said last night, Xu Yingying could only smile helplessly. She also wanted to drive people away, but these people only obeyed Li Siqi when it came to their own safety.

Xu Yingying returned to the state she was in when Li Siqi had just ascended the throne. The difference was that this time Li Siqi did not choose to imprison Xu Yingying, but allowed Xu Yingying to walk freely, of course, on the premise that she had to be accompanied by guards.

Now, during the day, Xu Yingying no longer sees any other servants except for a few personal maids and familiar palace maids. The guards take shifts day and night to guard Jingren Palace inside and outside. Even Li Shen is surrounded by a lot of guards, for fear that something might happen to him.

As for the Chrysanthemum Fairy, she took advantage of the fact that Li Siqi had no time to pay attention to her, and reluctantly spent all her soul power to break free from the cage where Li Siqi had imprisoned her.

Standing outside the cage, the Chrysanthemum Fairy couldn't help but burst into tears. Those were all the skills she had practiced hard day and night, and she threw them away just to escape. When she thought about having to accumulate skills all over again, the Chrysanthemum Fairy couldn't help but make a note of Li Siqi in her heart.

She wanted to seek justice from Li Siqi, but if she was locked up again, she didn't have the energy to do it a second time. To be on the safe side, she kept this account in mind and began to think about who she should go to.

After much thought, Fairy Chrysanthemum realized that the only person she knew in this palace was Xu Yingying.

Having made up her mind, the Chrysanthemum Fairy floated to find Xu Yingying. At this time, Xu Yingying was in a daze in her room. When she saw the Chrysanthemum Fairy floating in through the door, her first reaction was excitement. But after looking closely and seeing who the other person was, Xu Yingying's face changed immediately.

"What are you doing here?" Xu Yingying's tone was very cold.

"Why is Sister Xu so angry with me? I don't think I have ever offended Sister Xu." The Chrysanthemum Fairy acted like a green tea lover.

Xu Yingying retched for a while, and said with disgust: "Shut up, don't talk to me like that, or I'll send you to the west on the spot. No one comes to the temple for no reason. So, what do you want from me?"

The Chrysanthemum Fairy said seriously: "I am here to cooperate with you."

"If you don't want to cooperate, you've found the wrong person. Just leave." Xu Yingying refused without thinking.

"Don't worry, my job is easy for you. I know you want to leave this world, and I can help you." The Chrysanthemum Fairy persuaded.
