Detective Ghost Empress

291 Thank you, My Queen.

————

Liu Hui Ying felt her lips twitch when she heard the two ghosts siding with the man, what did he even do for the two of them? Was he giving them his Yang energy when she was not looking, or why else were these two standing up for Zhai Tianyu?

The man was sturdy and had a strong heart after all a frail heart man would not be so resolute when killing someone as he did with the original owner, she was sure that he was not depressed to the point where he wanted to kill himself so why should she go ahead and coax him?

But with the two ghosts glaring at her like she was a scumbag who left her husband and children behind to have fun, she could only sigh and walk back to stand next to the Emperor and said somewhat robotically, ” You should not be worried about something like this nor should you be aggrieved over something like this, after all, its not your fault that you trusted people who were not deserving of the trust that you have put in them.”

As she spoke she turned to look at Jia Li and Li Gang who were shaking their heads asking her to put more emotions in her words such that it made her look like she was more or less emphatic towards the Emperor.

Liu Hui Ying turned to look at Zhai Tianyu and then cleared her throat as she opened her lips to speak again, ” Would you like an invisible talisman? You seem like you have a lot on your mind, you can use it and vanish such that no one will disturb you. When you are upset, you should spend some time alone with yourself.”

When Zhai Tianyu did not speak, Liu Hui Ying hesitated and then rummaged in her pockets before taking out a mooncake that Nanny Gong gave her to eat after taking her medicine and stretched out her hand with the mooncake before speaking with her gaze turned to look somewhere else, ” You can take this … I heard that eating sweet when you are upset helps as well.”

Jia Li smacked her head while Li Gang stared at Liu Hui Ying and then said, ” This woman will die a virgin, I am telling you.” With such a handsome man in front of her, she was actually handing him a cake instead of hugging him.

Even if she was allergic to man, Zhai Tianyu’s face was enough to overlook that small matter!

.....

Zhai Tianyu who was listening to Liu Hui Ying laughed out loud when he heard that she was offering a mooncake to him. He turned to look at Liu Hui Ying who was frowning at him and then took the mooncake from her and then said, ” Thank you, My queen…. You are truly considerate.”

Even though Liu Hui Ying was someone who did not have any experience in coaxing others, Zhai Tianyu was happy with her attempt alone. At least she tried to coax him, this was enough.

He looked at the mooncake in his hands and smiled softly. Should he consider himself a bit closer to the Queen now? He raised his head and looked at Liu Hui Ying whose expression was full of relief and then shook his head. There was no way possible for Liu Hui Ying to consider him a close friend to her.

….

” I still can’t understand …how can they do something like this?” Yu Lingyun was still fuming, with his arms crossed behind his head and a frown on his face he turned to look at Zhai Heng and said, ” We have never found trouble with the Ji family, why did they have to do something like this?”

The Ji family might not be as strong as the Liu family—— after all, the Liu family was very complex and large. From merchants to general and from General to scholars, the Liu family had their hands stretched all over the place under the presence and guidance of Liu Dong Ming.

It was rumoured that no child born in the Liu family was allowed to be useless. No matter who they were, whether legitimate or illegitimate children, they will have to stand on their feet by the age of twenty. Or else they vanished into thin air without leaving a trace behind.

Zhai Heng did not reply, in fact, he did not have any comments regarding this matter. After all, he has considered the Ji family as their closest aide back then his brother told him that he was going to act as a fool in front of both the families because they couldn’t trust everyone —- Zhai Heng then thought that Zhai Tianyu was thinking too much but now that he saw that the Ji family was indeed involved in a lot of messy things, he realised that his brother was not in the wrong.

Yu Lingyun did not receive any response but he did not deter instead he turned to look at Liu Hui Ying and asked, ” What about you, your majesty? How do you feel about this matter?”

Liu Hui Ying blinked her eyes and calmly replied, ” I don’t know what you are trying to say…after all, I only trust the dead. So, I have no idea how it feels to be betrayed by the living.”

Those who were alive had many hidden thoughts but the ones who were dead were different, they were either good or evil. There was no grey area when it came to ghosts thus, she has never been betrayed before because she never trusted a human from the very beginning.

Her response was so cold that Yu Lingyun felt a chill rise in his heart, she was right. Her majesty was indeed not someone who would be willing to trust a human—— he pursed his lips and then asked, ” Your majesty but how come you doubted Ji Meng? How did you find out that he was the one who killed the three women?”

Even now he could not understand how Liu Hui Ying was able to put every piece of the puzzle in place.
