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

Chapter 207: Female Ghost Possession

In the study, his subordinates were reporting to Li Siqi and Xu Yingying about Li Siming's actions during the time they were away.

Xu Yingying's eyes flickered when she heard this, and then a smile appeared on her face. "I think Your Highness is happy to see the Crown Prince in this state. If the Crown Prince continues like this, he will surely lose the support of the people. At that time, it will be Your Highness's best opportunity, isn't it?"

Li Siqi looked at Xu Yingying, and the two of them understood each other tacitly. Xu Yingying knew Li Siqi's purpose from the beginning. The reason why Xu Yingying cooperated with Li Siqi was naturally because she was unhappy with Li Siming.

After Li Siqi left Xu Yingying's courtyard, he returned to his study. The prince had almost recovered now, which meant that the imperial concubine would be unable to sit still and start making trouble again.

This tough battle has just begun.

Soon it was time for lunch, but Li Siqi sent someone over, saying that he wanted to take Xu Yingying to Baihua Tower for lunch.

Baihua Tower is Cui Jiangyuan's property. According to Li Siqi, Cui Jiangyuan brought a new gadget from the Western Regions and has now installed it in Baihua Tower. Li Siqi then decided to take Xu Yingying with him to see what Cui Jiangyuan had got.

Baihua Tower is located in the most prosperous location in the capital. It was dinner time and the streets were crowded with people. Even Li Siqi's carriage was stuck in the street. After a long time, the two finally arrived at the door of Baihua Tower.

Baihua Tower is usually crowded, and now it is even more crowded. If Cui Jiangyuan hadn't had someone bring Li Siqi and Xu Yingying in through the back door, the two of them would not have been able to even get through the main door of Baihua Tower.

Cui Jiangyuan prepared a private room for Li Siqi early in the morning. The room was very big, and from the window one could see the newfangled gadget from the Western Regions that Li Siqi mentioned.

After just one glance, Xu Yingying didn't know what to say. These people didn't know about that thing, but she, who came from the modern era, knew it very well. It was a ball tied to the beam of the house, and it looked like the light ball in a KTV.

It is colorful and shining. Unlike a light bulb, electricity had not yet been invented, so this thing cannot be as noisy as a light bulb.

Li Siqi saw Xu Yingying staring at that thing and thought she was interested in it.

"What do you think of this thing?" Li Siqi asked Xu Yingying curiously.

Xu Yingying came back to her senses and straightened her face. "This thing is rare. I have never seen it before. But it is a good thing to put in the Baihua Building. It is a good thing to set off the atmosphere. It's just that it is daytime now, so the magic of this thing is not particularly obvious. I think it will be really interesting if we wait until it gets dark."

Xu Yingying was accustomed to this thing, but others might not be. After a while, Xu Yingying heard a commotion in the hall outside. Xu Yingying looked over curiously, but unexpectedly, the hall downstairs was already very noisy.

No one knew when the lantern ball started to rotate, and its unique structure cast different lights and shadows on the ground. However, the people in the capital had never seen such a thing before, and they mistakenly thought that the lights and shadows on the ground were ghosts, and everyone tried to avoid it.

Xu Yingying sneered and was about to retract her thoughts when suddenly, she seemed to catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye.

Xu Yingying looked over and found something familiar inside the light ball, a female ghost. The light ball should have been clear and bright, but now it was full of resentment and black mist, but no one except Xu Yingying could see it.

Xu Yingying was just about to contact Cui Jiangyuan to take the things down, but the next second, the sound of stringed instruments began to be heard from below. She leaned over to look and saw it was Yang Huiwen.

Yes, as the top performer in Baihualou, she really needs to perform for the guests in such occasions.

However, it was also the first time that Yang Huiwen had seen a light ball. She was a little overwhelmed for a moment as she stood on the stage and kept staring at the light ball.

In Xu Yingying's eyes, the resentment around the light ball that Yang Huiwen had been staring at began to flow towards Yang Huiwen. Xu Yingying thought to herself that something was wrong and wanted to stop it, but Li Siqi grabbed her arm and shook his head at her.

Li Siqi had been observing Xu Yingying's expression. When he saw Xu Yingying's expression suddenly change, he knew that there must be something strange about the light ball.

Xu Yingying had no other choice but to secretly pray to Yang Huiwen not to be bewitched by the female ghost.

But things did not go as planned, and resentment enveloped Yang Huiwen, who was standing on the stage in a daze.

The ghost girl's voice lingered in Yang Huiwen's ears. Yang Huiwen gradually tightened the guqin in her hand. Xu Yingying saw that the resentment was controlling Yang Huiwen's arms, and bewitched Yang Huiwen to use the guqin in her hand to knock down the lamp ball.

The lamp ball fell to the ground and was smashed into pieces, and the female ghost trapped inside the lamp ball was released.

Xu Yingying's face turned gloomy in an instant. She didn't care about anything else at this moment. The box was on the second floor, so Xu Yingying jumped directly out of the window.

When the female ghost saw Xu Yingying's figure, her face turned ugly for a moment, and then she wanted to turn around and run away.

But Xu Yingying didn't give the female ghost any chance at all and directly stuck a talisman on her body.

The female ghost couldn't move and could only look at Xu Yingying with resentment on her face.

Xu Yingying turned a blind eye to the female ghost's resentment, but Yang Huiwen suddenly became crazy when she saw Xu Yingying come out.

She rushed towards Xu Yingying like crazy, shouting, "Let her go! Let her go!"

The others didn't know what happened to Yang Huiwen, so they could only watch as Yang Huiwen suddenly went crazy. They were all whispering, but no one rushed up to stop her.

But Yang Huiwen was still stopped by someone. It was Li Siqi's men. When Li Siqi saw Xu Yingying jumping down, his heart skipped a beat. He was relieved when he saw Xu Yingying land safely. But he also quickly rushed downstairs and finally stopped Yang Huiwen before she pounced on Xu Yingying.

But Yang Huiwen, who was stopped, kept screaming, as if she could not hear anything.

Cui Jiangyuan also rushed over at this time, and saw that his Baihua Tower was in chaos. Even Cui Jiangyuan, who had a good temper, looked very gloomy at this moment.

Xu Yingying didn't care about Cui Jiangyuan's mood at the moment. When she saw someone coming over, she ordered without turning her head: "Cui Jiangyuan, take Yang Huiwen away."

As she spoke, Xu Yingying took out another piece of talisman paper. The talisman paper spontaneously ignited between her fingers without fire and soon turned into ashes.

The paper ash dissolved in the water and was forced into the ghost's mouth by Xu Yingying. The moment the paper ash water entered her mouth, the ghost let out a shrill scream, but fortunately no one else in Baihua Tower could hear it.
