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

Chapter 280 Request for Marriage

After hearing this, Ye Luwen was moved, but he still asked hesitantly: "What do you want from me?"

After all, there is no free lunch in the world. Xu Yingying definitely has her ulterior motives for doing this.

"Your Majesty, as a deal, I hope you can treat Li Siqi well and not let him stay in the cell anymore." Xu Yingying said hurriedly.

Ye Luwen thought about it and decided that this deal was a sure win for him. Li Siqi was in his hands anyway, so how he dealt with him depended entirely on his wishes.

Thinking of this, Ye Luwen let down his guard.

"Okay, don't worry about that. I will have someone release him and take good care of him. All you have to do is help me deal with those messy ghosts around me." Ye Luwen said impatiently.

These days he began to see some evil spirits with strange deaths floating around him, even in his dreams at night. He was already exhausted both physically and mentally, and his entire body could be described as being in a trance. If this continued, he would probably have developed schizophrenia and become a psychopath.

Xu Yingying's words were undoubtedly to save him from suffering, so Ye Luwen agreed without hesitation.

Xu Yingying nodded immediately when she saw this, and assured Ye Luwen very seriously: "Don't worry, my king, you will definitely sleep well tonight."

"Okay, okay, that's fine, you can go down!" Ye Luwen said a little tiredly.

At the same time, after Xu Yingying returned, she immediately gave an order, asking the group of wild ghosts not to harass Ye Luwen anymore.

The lonely ghosts also nodded in agreement very cooperatively. After all, they all followed Xu Yingying's lead now.

After a night, Ye Luwen had a rare good sleep.

When he woke up the next day, he felt refreshed, comfortable all over, and in a particularly good mood, so he decided to go to the garden to relax.

early morning.

It just so happened that Ye Luwen met Xu Yingying when he was relaxing in the garden.

Seeing this, Xu Yingying hurried over and saluted Ye Luwen, "I pay my respects to the king."

Ye Luwen was in a very good mood at this time, and quickly waved his hand and said, "Get up! My beloved concubine."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I wonder how the king spent last night?" Xu Yingying asked hurriedly.

She looked at Ye Luwen's cheerful smile and thought that he must have had a good time last night.

"Very good." Ye Luwen said lightly.

"That's fine." Xu Yingying nodded.

"My king, I wonder if there is anyone responsible for the auspicious sacrificial ceremony to pray for rain and protect the territory in a few days? Do you need my help?" Xu Yingying looked at Ye Luwen and asked.

Ye Luwen thought about it for a while, and since he was in a good mood, he waved his hand and said, "Not yet. Now I'll leave this matter to you, my beloved concubine!"

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Yingying bowed respectfully.

Under Xu Yingying's organization, the rain-praying and blessing sacrificial ceremony went smoothly. Many ministers in the court praised Xu Yingying. For a time, Xu Yingying became famous and became a household name.

The high priest, on the other hand, was ignored by Ye Luwen, and gradually fell out of favor in front of Ye Luwen, and his say became less and less.

This series of experiences made the high priest feel unbalanced.

He was very angry and called Taoyao.

"Master, you are looking for me!" Tao Yao looked at the high priest cautiously.

The high priest nodded and asked with a sullen face, "You have been with Xu Yingying for so long. Why has the king been so concerned about her recently? What kind of drug did she give to the king? Even the sacrifices and prayers for rain that I should have done in the past were given to her?"

Tao Yao's face changed slightly when she heard this, but she still said seriously: "Your Excellency, this is all the king's idea. I don't know what's wrong with the king recently, he is particularly concerned about Xu Yingying."

"The king basically agreed to all the requests made by Xu Yingying. There was no movement from Xu Yingying. She did what the king ordered her to do."

As soon as these words came out, the high priest immediately showed a puzzled expression, "Is that so? I don't think she can cause any trouble. How about this, you go and poison her. I'll see who will fight with me after she dies."

"Remember to do it covertly. It would be best if she died without anyone knowing." The high priest emphasized to Tao Yao.

Tao Yao heard this and replied respectfully, "Yes, sir."

The high priest waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, you can go down now!"

After Tao Yao retreated, the first thing he did was to go to Xu Yingying's palace to discuss countermeasures with Xu Yingying.

Tao Yao conveyed to Xu Yingying word for word what the high priest had just said to her.

Xu Yingying frowned when she heard this and said in dissatisfaction, "This high priest is really bored and has nothing to do. Why does he keep pestering me? He likes to poison others so much. I think he should just poison himself and let him suffer the consequences."

Xu Yingying said helplessly.

After saying that, Xu Yingying suddenly had an idea, and as if she had thought of a good idea, she said to Tao Yao: "Yes, let's just do this, slowly give the poison to the high priest, and let him also taste the feeling of being poisoned."

As soon as these words came out, Tao Yao immediately agreed, "Okay, okay! Then I'll do it this way."

After saying that, Tao Yao went back and secretly put the chronic poison into the high priest's daily tea, and then the high priest, who knew nothing about it, ate it.

Xu Yingying was also very cooperative. She pretended to be unwell during this period and basically did not go anywhere and stayed in her palace obediently.

Everyone in the entire palace knew that Xu Yingying had been ill recently.

The high priest was overjoyed when he heard this, and he thought his plan had succeeded.

As for Li Siqi, Ye Dina personally rescued Li Siqi and asked the imperial physician to treat him.

Under the personal care of the imperial physician and Ye Dina, Li Siqi's health gradually improved, his complexion became more rosy, and he successfully regained his previous handsome appearance.

Ye Dina was also attracted by Li Siqi's handsome appearance. After spending these days together, she was already completely bewitched by Li Siqi and lost her appetite for him.

After much thought, Ye Dina simply went to find Ye Luwen and asked him to grant her the marriage.

In the study room.

Ye Luwen looked at Ye Dina who was kneeling on the ground with loving eyes and said, "What's wrong? My dear daughter, what do you want to see me for?"

"Reporting to my father, I have taken a fancy to Li Siqi and I want to marry him." Ye Dina said without hesitation.

After hearing this, Ye Luwen was slightly stunned. Ye Dina's desire to marry Li Siqi was indeed beyond his expectations.
