Detective Ghost Empress

101 What are you doing?

” You two are leaving me alone?” Yu Lingyun suddenly said as he raised his head from the document that he was reading and then narrowed his eyes at Zhai Heng and Zhai Tianyu as he said, ” What’s this the brothers are aligning together against me?”

” Are you serious?” Zhai Heng asked as he looked at Yu Lingyun who was teasing them and said, ” We are only going to the restroom and we will be back by the time you are done with this document, what kind of nonsense are you saying?”

Zhai Tianyu looked at Yu Lingyun and shook his head. ” Brother Yu, it seems that I am not giving you enough work, your mind is diverting over things of no importance.”

“No, you are giving me enough work... I am so busy that the documents that I need to do are piled up to my neck, all right? There is no need for you to trouble yourself by giving me more work.” As he said this Yu Lingyun turned his attention back to the document and then added, ” What are you two looking at me for you are disturbing my work! Go, shoo.”

Zhai Tianyu rolled his eyes while Zhai Heng simply smacked Yu Lingyun on the back of his head as the two of them walked out of the room. Zhai Heng pushed open the sliding door and then allowed Zhai Tianyu to walk in front of him.

” You don’t need to observe such formality when we are alone big brother,” said Zhai Tianyu feeling a bit awkward when he saw that Zhai Heng was still opening the door for him. Strictly speaking as the elder brother he should have been chosen as the crown prince but for some reason unknown instead of choosing Zhai Heng as the crown prince, their father chose Zhai Tianyu as the crown prince.

” Formality cannot be forgotten no matter where we are,” replied Zhai Heng stiffly Zhai Tianyu knew that his brother wouldn’t listen to him, so he walked out of the room and then allowed him to close the door.

Zhai Heng fell a step behind Zhai Tianyu as he closed the sliding door shut and then started to walk towards the restroom. The two have been coming over to this brothel for so long that they knew the layout of the brothel much better than any other customer of this place.

” Will this be okay?” Zhai Heng asked as he looked at Zhai Tianyu who was walking beside him. ” Discussing military tactics and the plans to take the Chu family down when Ji Yu is like that? Will she be all right?”

.....

” She will be fine, in fact, she was the one who sent me here,” Zhai Tianyu replied with his fingers clenched in his sleeves. ” If the information that the Emperor went to the brothel even though concubine Ji was injured was to spread around then I am sure that many concubines who are eyeing Ji Yu will think twice before attacking her. Ji Yu was the one who came up with the idea, as long as I pretend that I don’t care about her as much as everyone thinks I do, not only will she be able to keep herself safe for the time being even the Chu family will relax giving me a chance to take them down.”

Zhai Tianyu wanted to rush down to the Chu family and take every single person down with his sword but the Zhai Tianyu who sits on the throne didn’t even know how to use a simple dagger much less a sword and which was why even if he wanted he could not unsheathe his sword for the Chu family if he were to unsheathe it then it would be for the Liu family who was completely stained with corruption.

” You don’t have to worry about the Chu family for the time being,” stated Zhai Heng as he thought about the situation and then sharply added, ” We have collected enough evidence to punish the father of concubine Chu–”

” That is the thing, elder brother,” Zhai Tianyu paused in front of the restroom door as he placed his hand on the small latch of the wooden door and said, ” I want to bury the entire Chu family down together with Yu’er’s dream of becoming a mother.”

....

The two brothers stepped inside the restroom and were preparing to relieve themselves with everything prepared and notched to aim when the door of the restroom was kicked open and then came in a figure that the two of them didn’t recognise.

Zhai Tianyu took a simple glance at the man who was staggering inside the restroom and shook his head when he saw that it was just a small eunuch. Who would have thought that a eunuch in training would dare to come to this place?

He turned his attention back to the job that he was doing when he felt someone stand next to him. Next to him and not leaving a stall? Was this man that drunk?

” Ah dang why do you have that annoying thing?”

But before he could ask the man to kindly take the stall next to the one he was standing in front of, he heard a rather familiar voice and stiffened. There was no way right? There was no way, she could be here...

He looked at the person beside him who was glaring at his little brother and was rolling her sleeves. ” Damn why am I seeing such a disgusting thing? I will rip it out and then you will feel better.”

As she spoke she went for his little brother looking very serious as if she was really going to snap his thing in half.

” What..what are you doing here queen?” Zhai Tianyu asked in shock as he cleaned himself and then tucked his thing back in his pants, his cheeks flushed red in embarrassment. Not even Ji Yu saw him like this and yet ...the Queen whom he didn’t even consider as his wife ....

” Who?” Liu Hui Ying raised her head and looked at him, her eyes were glossy and her lips seemed to be swollen. Was she kissed by someone?

Strictly speaking, it should not even affect him in the slightest but as he looked at Liu Hui Ying who was stumbling around with those swollen lips, his stomach started to ache.

That was right, it was his stomach and definitely not his heart.
