Detective Ghost Empress

...

" Achoo!" Liu Hui Ying sneezed as she covered her nose with a handkerchief and turned to look at Jia Li and asked, " So they sent Master Qin to a village in exile?"

"That\'s right," Jia Li nodded as she munched on the peanuts which were placed on the table. It was with a lot of haggling that Liu Hui Ying was able to get this plate of peanuts as a snack which was why she did not hesitate to smack Jia Li on the back of her hand when those grabby paws tried to get another handful of peanuts.

The female ghost rolled her eyes and then whined, "Stingy. But anyway, as I said, His Majesty sent official Qin to a Barren land which is miles away from the imperial city. I don\'t think that Ji Yang will be able to catch him now that official Qin is living in such a faraway place."

" It would be nice if he really escapes," said Liu Hui Ying as she turned to look at Jia Li who was munching on the peanuts and asked, " Did you ask commander Zhai where they were sending official Qin?"

" I did not ask but I did hear when they were discussing from what I heard they said it was the southern land," Jia Li answered which caused Liu Hui Ying to frown her brows, seeing her frowning Jia Li paused and asked, " Why, what\'s the matter?"

"It\'s nothing when we were digging out the grave of Official Qin\'s wife—— I noticed a small bouquet which you cannot find in the north.

I asked around those flowers came from the south," Liu Hui Ying remarked as she remembered a bunch of small flowers which looked ugly and stuck out like a sore thumb when placed in between those beautiful flowers which withered up slowly along with the one that slept inside the coffin.

" You mean to say…"

" His Majesty sent Official Qin where he always wanted to go…the home of his beloved."

…..

An old man limped past the streets of the barren land from where most of the villages were gone only leaving a few refugees who had nowhere to go. Because the old man was dressed in a pair of washed-out clothes, the refugees did not pay any attention to him which allowed the man to arrive at his destination without any trouble.

With his webbed and cloudy eyes, the old man looked at the abandoned small courtyard which was covered with weeds and spider webs.

Though the house was covered in moss and looked ugly and unsuitable for living, the light in the man\'s eyes never dimmed in fact it got even more brighter—— this house belonged to his master who took him as a disciple and this was the place where he met his beloved for the first time.

" My dear, I am back," Master Qin\'s eyes clouded with tears as he limped inside the small house. This was the house which he and his wife have left behind with dreams in their eyes, they believed that wherever they were going they will be happy and successful.

Only now that Master Qin was back did he realise that there was no place like home. Those castles and big houses they were all filled with corruption and the scent of blood, for him this small house was his only home—— too bad he realised it after he lost everything.

As he approached the door, Master Qin pushed the door open and then walked inside the house.

Maybe it was the first glance of the house which brought him back to the past which he always wanted to return to, but his spine which was bent straightened up a little more, his eyes which were filled with child-like excitement took in everything that was still left within the house from the swing which was sitting in the background to the small chicken coop which was rusting.

He was back, he was finally back!

" My dear! I am back!"

No sooner did he say those words than a gust of warm wind flew past him as if hugging him and saying —— welcome back.

Behind him stood a woman dressed in a pure white robe while holding the white lily which was given to her by the kind-hearted Empress. If she had walked down the path where she was supposed to go, the woman would have been on the road of reincarnation by now but …

She looked at the silly man who was still hung up on her and sighed before keeping the flower aside and walking inside the house. She had waited for reincarnation all these years, she could wait a few more.

…..

On the other hand, Liu Hui Ying had no idea what was going on with official Qin currently she was sitting in her courtyard with the fifth concubine, Concubine Chu sitting in front of her.

Unlike the other concubines, concubine Chu was much shyer and introverted, thus when she was called by Liu Hui Ying, she couldn\'t help but tremble from head to foot as she sat in front of Liu Hui Ying with her head lowered and her entire body on vibrating mode.

" Are you okay?" Liu Hui Ying asked but it would have been better if she did not ask because the woman yelped and fell to her knees and shouted, " I am sorry, I am sorry! I apologize, I should not have touched the taboo and made those actors perform a bl drama! I promise I will not do it ever again!"
