Detective Ghost Empress

332 Those three —-” Your highness please calm down,” Xiao Lin wished she could help her missy but she knew that there was nothing that she could do to help her mistress which was why all she did was stay where she was while holding the sobbing Ji Yu in her arms.

“It’s all over,” She heard Ji Yu say as the latter choked on her sobs, her eyes still staring at the path in which the Emperor walked away. Xiao Lin wished she could help her mistress by taking hold of the Emperor and bringing him back. She too wanted to shake his majesty and ask what he thought of her missy, how can he leave her behind like this? And that too for someone who came into his life just a few months ago.

Was this justified? No, it was not at all justified, if the Queen was the one who was innocent then so was her missy. Her missy had everything that the Queen had, she was even there for his majesty when no one was ——all the time, day or night…her mistress never cared for anything or anyone not even herself but his majesty.

He was the only one for whom her missy was staying alive and now that man has turned his back on her missy and that too so ruthlessly, how can he do that? How did his heart allow him to do that?

“Everything will be fine, your highness,” Xiao Lin held Ji Yu in her arms as she wiped the tears of the latter. ” You will be fine, you are stronger than this your highness.”

But Ji Yu did not want to stay strong, she has been strong all her life and that too for the man who left her behind. What was she? What was she doing? Everything that once held meaning to Ji Yu was broken in just one day—— now she was regretful full thinking that she should not have asked Zhai Tianyu anything at least that way she could have lied to herself a bit more.

‘ How long would I lie to myself then?’ Ji Yu questioned in her head as she clenched her fingers so tightly that she dug her nails into the wooden platform of the bridge as she clenched them. The nails twisted and turned before they chipped away breaking under the pressure while some started to bleed because of the way they were forced to break.

” Your highness!” Xiao Lin snatched Ji Yu’s hands off the floor of the bridge and looked at the broken nails with heartache as those tender fingers that were only dirtied by ink and flower petals were now covered in blood. ” You should not harm yourself, your highness no matter what…no matter what the situation, you should never hurt yourself for you are much precious.”

” Am I?”Ji Yu asked with a mocking curl of her lips as she looked in the direction in which Zhai Tianyu left without seeing her face one last time. ” Because I don’t think so, if I was precious then I wouldn’t have lost the one person I could not lose, Xiao Lin.”

.....

” I couldn’t…yet I did …I lost him and that too so pa..pathetic…ally” Ji Yu’s eyes rolled back as she slumped against Xiao Lin startling the latter.

” Your highness! Your Highness!” Xiao Lin shook Ji YU awake but the latter did not reply causing Xiao Lin to be so scared that she almost started crying as well but for the sake of her mistress, she immediately dragged the latter to the side and then rushed to bring the palanquin bearers who were roaming on the other end of the garden. ” Just you wait for me, your highness. I will be back !!”

With that Xiao Lin turned around and rushed to the other end of the garden leaving Ji Yu who was slumped against the small pillar of the bridge that was embedded in the ground underneath the pond.

The sound of anklets with bells attached to them echoed in the surroundings as feet that were bare and were not wearing any shoes appeared on the bridge, the black robe with godown embroidery together with red spider lilies cleaned the bridge floor behind as it was dragged by the person who was wearing it.

The man with his face covered and only showing his eyes, one that had three running scars down lowered his head and looked at Ji Yu who was leaning on the pillar while breathing in and out.

” Look at that, so much potential and all wasted for what a man?” The man in the robe hummed as he touched the cheek of Ji Yu which was stained with tears. ” You could have become the empress and ruled this world but you just had to choose the most pathetic option out of the ones that were in front of you.”

His eyes dipped at the spot where the heart of a human was located and he smirked, ” Is it because of this stupid thing? That has the feelings called kindness and whatnot?”

” Hurry up,” Xiao Lin who was rushing towards Ji Yu with the palanquin bearers behind her appeared a bit closer than before and the man with the black robe looked at her with an interested glance as he turned to look at Ji Yu and said, ” But don’t worry, I will help you remove that small obstacle in the path of becoming the Empress because only then will our family become the greatest of all, dear sister.”
