Detective Ghost Empress

316 Please bring me away

” Let me go,” Liu Hui Ying tried to take her hand away from the man who was holding her but the man did not let go instead he grabbed her wrist even tighter while he stared down at her. His gaze was so intense that even if Liu Hui Ying felt her sister wake up inside her, she felt a bit calm given that Zhai Tianyu was holding her without an ounce of fear or trepidation.

He did not look worried that she would attack him or maybe even kill him, instead he stared at her with those calm eyes of his. Liu Hui Ying watched as the man held her hands and then said without a hint of disgust in his voice when he saw her appearance that looked like a demon, ” Are you sure you want to chase after something that is not even present in this place?”

His question caused Liu Hui Ying to scrunch up her brows as she looked at him, she did not understand what he was trying to say. Those blue roses were sitting right there in front of the tomb, how can that man be not here? He must be present here to see the fury that he brought forth that was the kind of man he was.

” My foolish queen, it seems like you have your moments as well where you act foolishly,” Zhai Tianyu smiled at her as he stretched out his hand and then covered her face, his hand that was big enough to hide her palm-size face stayed an inch away from her skin as he continued, ” Maybe it’s true that man left these blue roses in front of the tomb as a form of enjoyment because he wished to make fun of you or someone else but if you were to think about it, doesn’t it look like that the man is scared of you?”

” What?” Liu Hui Ying asked, because she was so surprised by his question, she ended up scrunching up her nose and the eyes that were turning black slowed down making her look like a cat that was curious instead of a wolf that was rushing to hunt.

Zhai Tianyu smiled at the little cat and then turned to look at the crowd, even though many of them were looking at the scandalous sight of blue roses that were deemed as poisonous and something that no one would ever bring into the graveyard much less place it in front of the tomb when they knew the literal meaning of these blue roses was unattainable. It was basically claiming that the person who died would not be able to attain peace even when they were dead.

What was more the roses were placed in the bouquets of thirteen roses, when twelve roses meant peace, the thirteenth rose meant disharmony. If one was to clearly see this alignment one would be able to see that the person who left these roses in front of Liu Fei Fei’s tomb was not only cursing Liu Fei Fei but they were also cursing the Liu family’s peace to be disrupted.

It was no surprise that the people were casting scandalous looks at the tomb but even then some were able to glance at him and Liu Hui Ying. If anyone saw Liu Hui Ying’s face when she looked like this, Zhai Tianyu was sure that they will think of her as a demon or maybe the soul of Liu Fei Fei who could not rest because of this disruption in her ceremony and try to kill her, which was why he immediately covered Liu Hui Ying’s face.

” I am just saying, you were attacked on the night when you went to look for the murder case clue, if you were not lucky you would have died back then and now this …does this not look like that the man is trying to instigate you into doing something that will end your life?” Zhai Tianyu very calmly explained.

.....

The appearance of the blue roses was too coincidental, how can they appear out of nowhere and that too on the day when Liu Hui Ying was going to come? Zhai Tianyu came on the day when Liu Fei Fei was buried in this tomb and her funeral was held but back then no such thing was present in the grave that was built for Liu Fei Fei.

It was as if the person behind knew that Liu Hui Ying was not coming which was why they did not make a move. If all they wanted was to disrupt the ceremony they could have done it on the day of the funeral which was more important than the respect paying ceremony.

Liu Hui Ying did not say anything instead she just lowered her head and clenched her hands on her side now that she thought about it what Zhai Tianyu said, did seem to be correct. The ghost from the pond next to Consort Su’s pond told her that the man who attacked her was a man with a scar like three fingernails being dragged down his eye.

If the man did not want her gone why would he attack her? The reason was simple, he did it because he did not want her here and hindered any plans that he had in his head. Was this why he came looking for her sister? Was he afraid that his sister will become an obstruction in his path in the future? Maybe the one who was supposed to come to this world was her sister.

Liu Hui Ying has never said it but her sister was indeed much better in the skills of celestial mastery than her.

‘Maybe this was the reason why he came to our world, he wanted to nip the bud before it bloomed and now he wants to do the same,’. Thought Liu Hui Ying in her head before she raised her head and looked at Zhai Tiany who was looking at her with eyes that were lined with concern. ” Please bring me away.”
