Detective Ghost Empress

Liu Hui Ying paused and then turned to look at Li Gang before saying, " Is this something you even need to ask? Knock him out cold!"

" Got it," Li Gang floated outside the room where he met with Zhai Tianyu who turned his head to look at the ghostly man and sighed before raising his hands in surrender. " I will follow wherever you want to take me, there is no need for you to become violent, all right?"

" Smart," Li Gang muttered as he nodded before motioning Zhai Tianyu to follow him to the backyard.

Concubine Chu who was sitting inside the room, did not have any idea that something like this took place right under her nose. Her eyes turned red as she raised her hand and said, " There is no need for her majesty to say anymore, I understand. What his majesty has done to you, your majesty… I understand it all —— I am in the same boat as you, after all, you don\'t have to feel so lonely by yourself.

I will invite you to my courtyard, please come and watch tonight\'s play with me."

" Ah, I am so thankful," Liu Hui Ying wiped her tears as she smiled at concubine Chu seemingly touched by her initiative of becoming friends with her.

Nanny Gong and Xiao Ai looked at  Liu Hui Ying and then turned their gaze to look at concubine Chu before feeling a bit apologetic toward the latter as the innocent and naive concubine Chu did not even know that she had been fooled.

….

Concubine Chu took her leave after she was done inviting  Liu Hui Ying to her courtyard for the night play. Once she was gone, Zhai Tianyu who was waiting for his turn strode inside the room which belonged to  Liu Hui Ying and demanded, " My queen, why did you say that I do not love you? How can you make me the bad guy?"

" Did I say something wrong?"  Liu Hui Ying asked with a subtle blink. " Did you not tell me that you were in love with concubine Ji and that you will never love me? And you were also the one who told me that you and I two poles at the other end of the land, we can never meet, your esteemed majesty."

Zhai Tianyu: "…."

For the first time in his life, Zhai Tianyu understood what it means to lift a stone and smash it on his own foot. He was indeed the one who told these words to Liu Hui Ying but it did not mean that he felt the same!

Though Zhai Tianyu wanted to take those words back, he did not know where to start.

" By the way, are you here to eavesdrop on me, your majesty?"  Liu Hui Ying questioned with a raise of her brow.

Only then did Zhai Tianyu snap out of his thoughts and said, " Of course not, why would I … I came here to thank you for your help last night because of you, I was able to do what my heart felt was right and did not even have to worry about the consequences as prime minister Ji couldn\'t trace it back to me."

Liu Hui Ying rolled her eyes as she stretched her hand in front of Zhai Tianyu which caused him to look at her with confusion.

" What?"

Liu Hui Ying was looking away from the man as his face did something to her but when she heard his questioning tone, she turned her head and looked at him with wide eyes and raised brows, " What do you mean by what? If you are here to thank me then should you not be giving me money? The service charge for my help? It is not free."

" You must be joking, my queen," Zhai Tianyu chuckled as he looked at Liu Hui Ying\'s hand. " I have no money, my pocket is controlled strictly by my grandmother because she does not wish me to have an extra sum of money that I might spend in a place where she does not know … I am broke ."

" Hah,"  Liu Hui Ying snorted as she turned her head and muttered, "It\'s just my luck… from a millionaire to an Empress of an Emperor who is broke."

Zhai Tianyu touched his nose awkwardly before saying, " Before I forget, I came to tell you that you will be in charge of the flower choosing ceremony."

" The what ceremony?"  Liu Hui Ying questioned with a frown as she looked at Zhai Tianyu who was sneaking out of the room with a cheeky look. His actions made  Liu Hui Ying pause and look at him with a weirdly suspicious expression, " What is the meaning of this?"

" The flower-choosing ceremony means that you will be in charge of choosing new concubines before the new year, your majesty., Now that I have explained it all, I think I will take my leave, okay bye~" Zhai Tianyu flew past the door leaving a stiff  Liu Hui Ying behind who was too shocked to say anything but then she snapped out of her daze and jumped on her feet before chasing after the man who just ran.

" You…if you have the guts to do it! Come here and look me in the eye, you bastard!"  Liu Hui Ying screamed at the man who was running out of the courtyard with small flames lit up in her eyes.

She breathed heavily once everything that Zhai Tianyu said slowly fell into place, frustration filled her heart as she kicked her feet and snapped, " Aish, that man is going to make me die because of high blood pressure. Not only did he not pay me, he even handed me the dirty task of acting as his pimp! Arghhh!"
