Detective Ghost Empress

Liu Hui Ying smiled upon hearing Zhai Tianyu's words, but her smile did not reach her eyes startling Zhai Tianyu so much that he took a step back. Why was it that the queen was staring at him like she wanted to cook him with a slow-boiling frog and then feed him to her underworld friends?

Zhai Tianyu did not know what Xiao Lin did but the latter did, seeing that the ship that she boarded was sinking, she gulped and flew out leaving Zhai Tianyu alone in the tent with the devil queen who was staring at his majesty like she was going to gobble him whole.

" Do you know what that maid did?" Liu Hui Ying asked with her lips still curled into a smile. She did not lose her temper nor did she sarcastically reply to Zhai Tianyu which scared him so much that he gulped and then asked with a small stutter, " Sh...She wronged you in any w..way, my queen?"

" Oh no," said Liu Hui Ying with a benevolent smile which caused Zhai Tianyu's spine to be covered with nothing but cold sweat as he took another step behind when Liu Hui Ying took a step closer to him as she continued to speak with her arms crossed in front of her, "It's just that she thought that I was being the obstacle in the path of her missy which was why she came to remove this obstacle by poisoning me." She said the last words with a cold bite which caused Zhai Tianyu's eyes to widen as he turned to look at Xiao Lin all set to scold her but when he turned to look behind him, he was surprised to see that Xiao Lin was gone!

That maid had abandoned him! Alone with this ferocious lioness after poking her in the eye!

'Xiao Lin!' Zhai Tianyu roared in his head as he turned to look at Liu Hui Ying  who was standing in front of him and smiled at her in a fawning manner before he said in a sweet voice, " My Queen, I never thought that——"

" That the cute little maid of your precious Ji Yu will hurt me? Of course, I know that," said Liu Hui Ying interrupting Zhai Tianyu as she walked back to the bed and then picked up the pillow that was lying casually on the bed before throwing it to Zhai Tianyu who caught it in surprise. At first, he did not understand what was happening but then he heard Liu Hui Ying  say,

" Since you think that I am the villain and your precious Ji Yu is the only one who is in the right, you can get lost now, your majesty."

" Oooh," hissed Witch Mao when she heard Liu Hui Ying kicking Zhai Tianyu out of his own tent, she watched the show in front of her with an excited expression.

Zhai Tinayu looked at the pillow that was thrown at him and then turned to look at Liu Hui Ying before opening his mouth and then tried to explain to Liu Hui Ying, " My Queen, I had no idea that——"

" Why did you not have any idea? Isn't it because you thought that there is no way anyone related to that concubine of yours can not be wrong, right? Since that is the case then what about me almost dying? I am still waiting for the compensation regarding the first job that I took for your grandmother and before seeing the courtyard, I am being pushed to die. Why? Did I take your virginity?

Did I force you? Did I tie you up and ride you till night to dawn?  Why is it that I am the one who is being seen as the obstacle?"

Under Liu Hui Ying's questioning, there was nothing that Zhai Tianyu could say, he looked at the queen with a slight blush on his cheeks after listening to her words, he raised his hand with a pleading gesture and said, " My Queen listen to me——"

" Read my lips," Liu Hui Ying narrowed her eyes as she mouthed, " Get lost."

" My queen!"

" I said GET LOST!" Her roar echoed in the entire hunting ground causing many to jump.

The Dowager Empress who was enjoying the massage lifted the slice of cucumber that was sitting on her eyes and then turned to look at Liu Dong Ming and asked, " That voice sounded like Liu Hui Ying, right? Is she annoyed by something?"

"Other than his majesty, I cannot think of anything else your majesty," Liu Dong Ming replied as he sliced the apples into bunny shape and then placed them on the plate before walking to the portrait of the young woman and then placing it in front of her. " These days only his majesty can cause her majesty to lose her temper."

The Dowager Empress scoffed when she heard his words before she placed the slice of cucumber back in her eyes as she spoke, " That boy has the dirty blood of that bastard, I am sure that he is nothing good either. If there is anything good in him that will be from my blood," she paused and then asked, " Is that maid dead?"

" She is," replied Liu Dong Ming as he turned to look at his cousin and then asked, " Are we going to leave the matter alone for the time being?"

"For the time being, yes," The Dowager Empress replied as she handed her hand to the maid whose eyes were glassy and her ears were chopped off. " That girl, Ji Yu can be of use at the moment…you know what to do, Dong Ming. I don't care if you have to use honey or a scheming trap to get that girl on our side.

Nothing better than getting a stab from the one whom they looked on down the most," her voice lowered as she turned her head and then added,  " They have snatched more than one life of our daughters, Dong Ming, do not let them snatch Hui Ying's as well… we had to give up a lot to bring your daughter's soul back. If she dies this time, you will not see her for another thousand of years.

Even if she is in the body of little Rui's daughter's body ... she is here. After going back and forth so many times in different dimensions are you not tired? Or do you want to let your beloved down again?"

" She is not my daughter," replied Liu Dong Ming correcting the Dowager Empress as his fingers clenched tightly. " She is little Rui's daughter... as for me----"

" Yes, Yes...you can go act stubborn all you want, but  I wonder who was the one who lost his mind when the shell that we raised did not accept Hui Ying's soul?"
