Detective Ghost Empress

103 surrounded by thugs

” Damn she is really persistent, I mean I knew that she hated men and us especially but I didn’t think that her hatred would reach a point where she wants to kill us like this,” Yu Lingyun was hiding behind the wall of a small house as he looked at Liu Hui Ying who was still shouting threats even though she couldn’t see them.

Zhai Heng and Zhai Tianyu also peered out and watched as Liu Hui Ying kicked a stone and then cursed, ” Those fcking assholes, I will kill them once I get my hands on them, how dare they stress me so much? I will have them ruined in my hands!”

” I never asked this but why does the queen hate men so much?” Zhai Heng asked as he raised his head and looked at Zhai Tianyu who shook his head. He has never been interested in the queen and from what she said, she wasn’t even the same woman as the one he knew, so for him to find out the reason why she hated men...this was something hard to comprehend and it wasn’t like Liu Hui Ying was going to let him on the secret right?

” Imagine being on the top of the list of a serious men hater,” Yu Lingyun mumbled while he was crouching on the floor. ” I mean you will think with everything we do, we deserve a break but no here we are hiding from the woman who is chasing to kill us.” He paused and then twisted his head such that he was looking at Zhai Tianyu and asked, ” Isn’t this the perfect time for us to take care of her, the Liu family wouldn’t be able to blame us either.”

Yu Lingyun was right as long as they told the Liu Family that the Queen ran out of the palace they will be able to pin the blame on them and with a pinch of drama added like her meeting a secret lover at night or something like that would only help them even more.

” No,” Zhai Tianyu immediately rejected the notion, he did not know why he was even refusing such a good suggestion but for some reason, he didn’t want Liu Hui Ying to die. Maybe it was because she knew how to treat Ji Yu? ” The Queen knows of a method to treat Yu’er if she dies then it will be troublesome for Yu’er and me.”

Yu Lingyun exchanged a look with Zhai Heng before he shrugged and said, ” If you say so ...”

The two turned to look at Liu Hui Ying again but then immediately hid when they saw that Liu Hui Ying was looking in their direction.

” This is really great, I mean if someone was to find out that the Emperor, the head commander and the general were all hiding from a woman, then we might as jump down the cliff and end our lives because this is simply too much!” Yu Lingyun spat as he flattened himself against the wall of the small house.

.....

” You say that but you look the most terrified of the three of us,” stated Zhai Heng.

“What are you talking about? I am only pretending to make you two feel less bad.”

” You are shivering, brother Lingyun,” Zhai Tianyu pointed out and Yu Lingyun closed his eyes as he admitted, ” Fine that woman terrifies me,” he turned to look at Liu Hui Ying who was walking towards some uneven path and then continued, ” I don’t know ...this morning when she was fighting with Ji Yu, I felt that she had no murderous intent, she was calm in fact she was so calm as if she wasn’t waving a sword but something completely harmless as if she knew that she could do more harm than a sword.”

He paused as he looked at Liu Hui Ying’s back and then added with a solemn expression, ” And when she killed the maid it was like she didn’t even feel the slightest bit of remorse, you might not know this but a woman like her is the most terrifying. For them death is not the worst possible end ... it’s like she has seen the worse and couldn’t care less about dying. For her the lives of people around her are clearly non-existent, the more calm she is the more dangerous of a woman you can take her as and you know what something about her is really weird, I can’t tell but– I would rather go to war and face thousand of enemies than face this woman.”

” What are you saying?” Zhai Heng asked if he understood what Yu Lingyun was saying but wasn’t he making Liu Hui Ying more terrible than she was?

” You don’t understand, brother Heng,” replied Yu Lingyun as he looked at him. ” If I were to face an army and sacrifice myself, I will be treated as a hero even my opponents will respect me but with her ....” He turned his head and pointed at Liu Hui Ying. ” It will be like someone worthless dying in her eyes, I would rather not die such a meaningless death, you see?”

” That...”

” Oi, little eunuch where are you heading to?” Zhai Tianyu just opened his mouth to say something when he heard a thuggish voice of a man. He turned his head to look at Liu Hui Ying who was suddenly surrounded by a group of men who were looking down at her while leering at her.

If this was someone else then she would have cried but Liu Hui Ying on the other hand calmly looked at the men in front of her and then said, ” Get out of my way if you do not want to suffer.”

” She is built differently isn’t she?” Yu Lingyun muttered as he looked at Liu Hui Ying who was unaffected by the sudden threat in front of her. ” Like instead of shouting for help she is actually threatening the thugs right back.”

Maybe the thugs were stunned as well, they took a look at Liu Hui Ying before they turned to look at each other and burst out laughing.
