Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 131



131 please turn into a eunuch for an hour

After speaking Zhai Heng bowed in front of Zhai Tianyu and then turned around to leave the study room. Zhai Tianyu watched his brother leave the study room and then sighed in frustration, his brother was really stubborn, because of what happened in the past, the wound that his brother received from the Liu family was still throbbing inside his chest.

Even if he could bring himself to trust the Queen because she was another person who had nothing to do with the Liu family and what was, even more, was that he knew that Liu Hui Ying did not have any other intention than robbing him until only his underpants were left.

” He can be really stubborn sometimes,” Yu Lingyun mumbled while looking at the shut door of the study room and then turned to look at Zhai Tianyu. ” But this is the one thing that is the most adorable thing about him, after all, he is so protective of his little brother.”

” Shut up!”

...

Liu Hui Ying was eating grapes while being fanned by Qui Ai, a frown on her face as she munched on the grapes like she was chewing someone’s flesh, when she heard the sound of the door of her hall being slid open and when it was opened, a woman dressed in the dress of a maid, that had a white blouse with a pale pink skirt that reached to her ankles hiding her feet until only the tip of her shoes could be seen was kneeling at the threshold of the door.

” What is it?” Qui Ai who too saw the woman who was kneeling on the threshold of the room asked in a confused voice, as far as they knew the Grand dowager Empress’s palace was no longer accepting any visitors and they have to return halfway through from the entrance of the grand dowager and this was the reason why Liu Hui Ying was still frowning.

She was worried that if the grand dowager empress was asking the Queen to come and look for her again, then her mistress might really snap at this moment.

While thinking like this Qui Ai sneaked a look at Liu Hui Ying and sure enough, the woman was looking at the maid with eyes narrowed as she munched on the grapes with even more ferociousness, while looking at the maid, like the second this maid spoke that the word ‘grand dowager empress’, her missy will pounce on her like a hungry lion.

.....

‘ Please don’t tell us that the grand dowager Empress is calling us, please, please!’ Qui Ai prayed in her head while looking at the maid.

” The commander of the special army, Lord Zhai is here to see her majesty, he is asking for a meeting with her, should I allow him in the courtyard?” The maid asked her head lowered, she too was feeling the pressure from the queen’s gaze and even if the queen hasn’t said a word till now she could see that she was waiting for her to take a tumble.

By the time she finished speaking, the maid was shivering.

Qui Ai who heard that it had nothing to do with the grand dowager empress sighed in relief, as she turned to look at her missy but then she saw that her missy’s expression has actually gotten worse she was startled even more.

‘ No! Why are you making that face now, my queen?’ Qui Ai asked in her head but then she remembered that her missy was allergic to men and Lord Zhai Heng no matter how she looked at him, was also a man.

“My queen?” Qui Ai who was already feeling regretful at the fact that Zhai Heng was a man and not a eunuch called her missy tentatively.

And when Liu Hui Ying raised her head and looked at her, Qui Ai felt a shiver dance down her spine as invisible tears started to trail down her face.

‘ Lord Zhai, can you become a eunuch for like half an hour?’ Qui Ai cried in her head.

...

Zhai Heng was waiting outside the courtyard of the Queen when he felt a chill crawl up his spine and he whipped his head to look around the surrounding. Right now, he felt something ...someone was eyeing him dangerously, though he did not feel the gaze of the person, he could indeed feel the chill on his spine.

” Lord Zhai?” Zhai Heng was startled when he heard a soft voice and then turned to look at the maid who was standing in front of him, it was only then did he realise that this woman was the one who went to ask for the Queen’s permission when he asked for permission to enter.

” Did the Queen allow me to enter the courtyard?” Zhai Heng asked as he looked at the little maid who was shivering for some reason, at first he thought that the Queen did not allow him to enter the courtyard but to his surprise, the maid bowed to him and stepped aside to walk inside the courtyard.

Zhai Heng was bewildered when he saw that he got permission to enter the courtyard, if he was allowed to enter the courtyard then why was this maid shivering like this?

However, when he entered the courtyard he realised why the maid was shivering.

” What do you mean by this?” He asked as he looked at Qui Ai who was holding a porcelain bottle with scented water in her hands, it would have been fine if the scent was a bit masculine but the scent was actually that of a peony, he has only smelled this scent on women and no one else.

Qui Ai was shivering like the maid who allowed him inside the courtyard as she lowered her head and then raised the porcelain bottle in her hand and looked at him with a pitiful expression as she squeaked in broken sentences, ” Th...The...The Q..Q...Queen have as..asked l..lord to s..spr..sprinkle this scent bef..before ent..entering her room.”
