Detective Ghost Empress

He came to a ruthless pause as he looked at Ji Yu who dropped her head and shivered, her lips trembling as she kept her gaze on the floor not even daring to look up at her father who was glaring at her as if he wished to eat her alive.

" This is what Liu Dong Ming was waiting for and he was given the chance! Who was the stupid one? Who was the stupid one who placed a bomb in the tent of the Queen?" Ji Yang roared at his son who shook his head repeatedly and then said with an innocent expression on his face, " I did not do it, father, it\'s not my fault that there are so many enemies of the Liu family!

Most probably one of the officials did that, and it\'s just that they were foolish enough to not see the time and place."

Ji Mo snorted and then turned to look at his sister who was now as useful as a barren land and commented with a light sneer playing on his lips, " If sister had gotten pregnant then nothing like this would have happened, we wouldn\'t have to worry the queen getting pregnant at all.

We just had to take care of that child who was going to be born from the womb of the Queen but now with Yu\'er being like this, I am afraid that the child will be treated as if it was already the crown prince."

Just like that the topic of the matter was turned around and pushed Ji Yu back into the crux of the storm. Ji Yu dipped her head even lower when she saw her father turning around to glare with rage filling his face as he strode in front of her and then——

A crisp slap echoed in the tent as Ji Yu fell on the floor with her hand cupping her cheek. She did not dare to raise her head and continued to stay on the floor while her father raged at her from above, " Do you know why you were the one who was chosen to be the playmate of his majesty, Yu\'er? It\'s because you were the smartest one. After all, you knew what to do and when at the correct time!

I raised you with this thought in my head that no matter what you will rise as the queen of this city but how did you fail huh? How can a girl from the Liu family beat you up to this point!"

" Why was it that when Liu Dong Ming suggested that the queen stays with his majesty, his majesty, the Emperor did not look at you! Why did he not refuse? He always did so in the past for your sake? How come he did not do it this time? What is going on with you two?"

Ji Yu stayed silent since she did not have any answer regarding the questions that her father was asking her, she kept her head lowered and sobbed silently.

Ji Yang whose temper was running high, shook his head like a bull and shouted at Ji Yu, " Cry, Cry, Cry! That is all you know! Your grandaunt gave you such an amazing opportunity! The childhood sweetheart of the emperor and yet .,..you still lost? How?"

" All right that is enough," Grand Dowager Empress glanced at the crying Ji Yu and sighed in annoyance, in the past she thought that this soft temper of Ji Yu was going to be the one thing that will help them get the throne of the Empress and at the same time the Emperor.

But who would have thought that Liu Hui Ying, that woman who did not even have the slightest bit of decency and delicacy inside her body will be the one who will steal the attention of his majesty? The Grand Dowager Empress was really annoyed that a woman like Liu Hui Ying was the one who stole the attention of her grandson but there was nothing that she could do now.

With a sigh, she turned to look at Ji Yu before turning to her nephew and said in all sincerity, " This is no time for us to quibble, its true that with his majesty around her, Liu Hui Ying is rather safe but at the same time this is the perfect opportunity for us to move."

" How so, Aunt?" Ji Yang asked with a befuddled expression on his face while the Grand Dowager Empress smiled at him and then softly said,  " If something happens to the queen when she is with the Emperor, who do you think the Liu family will blame?"

Ji Mo and Ji Yang looked at each other before they turned to look at the Grand Dowager Empress and replied in a slightly confused voice," Wouldn\'t the person be the Emperor?"

" That is correct, as long as something happens to the queen when she is with the king, I am afraid with the past incidents they will blame his majesty when that happens we just need to stay next to the king and make him believe that we are indeed the better one among the Liu family and the rest of the families, I am certain this way his majesty will rely on us even more!" The Grand Dowager Empress already came up with a plan when Liu Dong Ming came with his own, though the man was smart there was no way he will be able to stay a step ahead from her!
