Detective Ghost Empress

289 I was the happiest by your side

Zhai Heng would have definitely said that Zhai Tianyu was thinking too much if this happened before but now that he saw Ji Mo’s actions even if he did not agree with him, he has to admit that there was something that they all have overlooked because of how much trust they had in the Ji family.

Liu Hui Ying said that the maid whom Ji Meng loved was working in the Zhang family years ago meaning Ji Meng might have been eight or nine back then and yet the Ji family laid down such a well thought plan for the Liu family years ago…this patience …this dedication… it was something really fearsome.

He looked at Zhai Tianyu and opened his mouth to say something but then he closed his mouth and did not say anything. If the Ji family was this sly years ago and hid so well that no one was able to doubt them for all these years then just how many plans did they have in their minds and how many were already implemented and executed to the end?

What scared him, even more, was that he did not have any inkling about the Ji family’s actions all these years. It was as if he and Zhai Tianyu were fools who were being played around by the Ji family —— an investigation was indeed necessary.

Liu Hui Ying did not care about what was going on in the heads of the three men, she simply turned to look at Liu Fei Fei and somewhat apologetically said, ” Sorry, I could not give your murderer the death you wanted him to get.”

Liu Fei Fei told her that she wanted her murderer to die a horrible death but she couldn’t do it because of the sudden move of the Ji family.

” Its all right,” Liu Fei Fei did not think that it was a loss, she always thought that even though she was adopted by the Liu family, no one thought of her as one of them but Liu Hui Ying despite getting hurt looked for her murderer just like she promised and Liu Dong Ming, this father of hers who never came to see her when she was alive actually stood up for her!

Even if Liu Dong Ming did it to teach a lesson to the Ji family, she was very happy after all this was the first time she was being protected by her father even if Ji Meng did not satisfy her, she was happy that Liu Dong Ming was willing to stand up for her even if his intentions were not clear.

” I think I am ready to move on,” Liu Fei Fei told Liu Hui Ying, she wanted to move on to the next life and this time she hoped that she will get a loving father and mother who will give her the love that she always craved for.

.....

Liu Hui Ying looked at Liu Fei Fei who despite being immature all her life was now showing a ton of maturity and felt a bit awkward. She took out a talisman and wrote an array on it before she snapped her fingers and burned the talisman.

The yellow paper turned and twisted in the air before it became a glowing white flower.

” Take this with you,” Liu Hui Ying told Liu Fei Fei as she handed the flower to the young girl and said, ” This is a flower that is enriched with my blessings, just show the guardians of the underworld this flower and tell them what you want the most, they will hear your requests as long as you don’t go overboard.”

As a celestial master, Liu Hui Ying had the power to give a soul another chance at a happy life as long as they were willing to let go of their grudges. Liu Fei Fei unlike Zhai Tianyu’s aunt was much more pitiful and thus, she was willing to help her a little.

Liu Fei Fei took the flower that Liu Hui Ying handed to her, in fact, she never really accepted her death even though she saw her body lying on the ice block, she always pretended like she was alive and since she could talk with Liu Hui Ying and her ghosts she never felt lonely like she did when she was brought to the imperial palace but now that she has to leave them behind, Liu Fei Fei was very scared she looked at Liu Hui Ying and asked, ” Is it too lonely in the underworld ?”

After staying in the imperial palace and with the Liu family, what scared her the most was the loneliness, she did not want to be left alone in silence again.

” No,” Liu Hui Ying understood Liu Fei Fei a bit and she immediately shook her head as she replied to Liu Fei Fei. ” The underworld is not lonely neither it is cold, its more or less like a resting spot for souls who wants to move on to another journey, unless you did some severe crimes, you won’t be punished.”

Liu Fei Fei might be arrogant and she might have killed a few maids but none of them was innocent which was why she did not have much black qi around her. Even if she was supposed to be punished, with the flower that she gave her, Liu Fei Fei will be able to move on without any worry.

Liu Fei Fei heaved a breath before she nodded at Liu Hui Ying and said, ” I am ready to leave.” She turned to look at Zhai Tianyu and added, ” I don’t want much your majesty but when you bury me, please leave a significance behind such that everyone will know I was there and won’t forget me.”

Throughout her life, Liu Fei Fei was scared to before forgotten which was why she asked Zhai Tianyu to leave something behind on her grave——

” I promise you, consort,” Zhai Tianyu lowered his body and gave Liu Fei Fei a deep apology bow as he said, ” I will ask for your forgiveness if I did not bring you here in this imperial palace maybe you would still be alive.”

Liu Fei Fei smiled at Zhai Tianyu and even though her eyes were filled with tears she still nodded. ” Don’t apologize your majesty because I loved you with all my heart …staying beside you these days made me the happiest, so thank you for withstanding me till now.”
