Detective Ghost Empress

265 Down the wrong path

Liu Hui Ying was already in a foul mood after finding out that the old man Tao whom she thought she has beaten was now spreading rumours about her in the department causing her promotion to be stopped and what was more his daughter actually tried to kill her! This mother! She was hoping to hop off the hospital bed and karate chop that girl but instead, she woke up in this palace. Again!

But as if that wasn’t enough, as soon as she woke up she saw a very ugly face looking down at her as if he was mourning for her death already and to top it all, it belonged to a man! A man! How can she be not upset? She was so upset that she immediately flung her hand on instinct and ended up slapping the man who was hovering over her face.

” Darn, why are you crying like I am dead!” Liu Hui Ying sat up straight, if she was truly dead without suffering any unbearable pain and even returned to his body, then she would have been more than glad, she would have even thrown death candy to everyone but instead, she was up and about in this place! What was the point of crying like this? She should be the one who should be crying damn it!

Her promotion and that old man Tao’s pudgy old face that was begging to be hit, she lost everything!

She glared at Yu Lingyun who was sitting on the floor and asked, ” What were you doing—- ah, damn it!” She cursed again when her hand started to turn red and her skin started to itch like she has been washed with water that was full of itching powder.

Liu Hui Ying felt that she wanted to cry but had no tears to shed, she was attacked and sent to her real world where she was almost suffocated again and then she was sent back to this world where her allergies started to act up again, she was just a young woman in her early thirties! Can’t she catch a break? Like what was she? A punching bag for the Gods, that they were beating her left and right without pausing even for a little bit. They better hope she goes to hell because if there was a heaven and she was given a ticket to that place.

She was going to make it a highway to hell!

Just you wait! Her name will be written in golden inscriptions in heaven and even the lord of all Gods will shiver at her name!

” You should apply that ointment that I gave you, your majesty,” seeing that Liu Hui Ying’s allergy was flaring up, Zhai Heng kindly advised her but as soon as he said this advice two pairs of eyes turned to look at him.

.....

Zhai Tianyu who felt that there was something wrong with his brother frowned and looked at the latter, why was it that he felt that there was something wrong with his brother’s attitude? Though he trusted his brother so much that he did not think that there was anything wrong with him helping out his sister-in-law a little bit.

But Yu Lingyun who knew just how much Zhai Heng cared for the pearl ointment that he received from the outer province immediately smelled something fishy. He was a general and he often received many scars and injuries on his face and hands, there was a time when he was practising and ended up getting a scar on the back of his tricep which was why he asked Zhai Heng to give him the pearl ointment.

And then this man told him that, ‘It is for the woman who will win my heart.’

The woman who will his heart!

Everyone knew that the pearl ointment was so expensive that it could even buy half a mountain since it was concocted by the divine doctor and Zhai Heng saving it to hand it to his beloved was only right. Yu Lingyun did not find it weird either but now all of a sudden that pearl ointment fell into the hands of the Queen?

No, no maybe he was thinking too much. Yu Lingyun thought in his head. Maybe it was another ointment.

But then he turned to look at the Queen who rummaged around in her clothes that she was wearing last night and pulled out an extremely familiar wooden box.

Yu Lingyun: “…..” Fck!

His brother was going down the wrong path! This …This was not right! What was he going to tell his dear uncle in case these two brothers started fighting for the same woman?

Yu Lingyun was someone who could not sit still even though he knew that he should not be discussing anything, he could not watch his brother fall down the wrong path which was why he hurriedly clasped Zhai Heng’s wrist and said, ” You come with me, I need to pee !”

” Why do I need to come with you?” Zhai Heng was bewildered when he was pulled by Yu Lingyun, he did not understand why there was any need for him to follow Yu Lingyun to the restroom but the latter did not give him a chance to respond as he tugged him and said, ” Because I am scared!” Scared by you brother!

Zhai Heng knew that Yu Lingyun had been acting weird ever since he found out that there were supernatural beings walking around in the imperial palace thus, he calmly followed him.

Once the two of them were gone Nanny Gong and Qui Ai too left the room leaving Zhai Tianyu and Liu Hui Ying alone. Zhai Tianyu has been itching to see Liu Hui Ying wake up, he has been missing her liveliness and now that she was up and about, the ice that was covering his eyes melted away as he took a stool and then sat down next to Liu Hui Ying as he asked, ” How are you feeling my queen?”

His voice was full of love and concern but Liu Hui Ying, this straight woman who was allergic to men only cared about her promotion and old man Tao, thus she did not feel any love from Zhai Tianyu and replied sourly,

” Like sh*t.”

Zhai Tianyu: “....”
