204 Hot piece of news

Zhai Tianyu wanted to leave Liu Hui Ying behind, one part of him —- the part that was closest to his throat that was still throbbing wanted to turn his back on her and then walk away but he was a gentleman and he did not like the thought of leaving his wife behind and even if Liu Hui Ying was not his wife, he wouldn’t have left her behind because she was a woman.

He sighed and then crouched down before he stretched out his hands and then carefully picked up Liu Hui Ying from the ground, even though he brought her in his arms, he made sure that he did not touch her skin and was very careful while making sure that there was no skin to skin contact.

” I must have done some major sins in my past life that I am suffering under your hands like this,” Zhai Tianyu muttered as he looked at Liu Hui Ying who was now lying in his arms with a peaceful look on her face. He snorted seeing how she was sleeping calmly after she has almost killed him, it was her luck that he was a good man and he did not want to find trouble with her by killing her for touching him.

If there was another emperor instead of him to whom Liu Hui Ying did something like this, he would have already thrown her into prison and would have killed her as quickly as possible such that he would fulfil the goals that he wanted to succeed in but here he was bringing this wild woman back to her courtyard after her finding trouble with him.

With a subtle glance, he looked at Liu Hui Ying’s peaceful face and then said with a huff, ” You better treat me right my queen, I am giving up on the very thing that I married you for—— that is to bring your family down in one swift move.”

Zhai Tianyu then walked out of the small pavilion where he was drinking wine with Liu Hui Ying and then walked towards the path that led to the courtyard of the queen. While he was walking he paid attention to his surroundings, he wanted to make sure that no one would see him carrying Liu Hui Ying not because Liu Hui Ying was the one in his arms, he did but because he was worried that someone would see him carry a man in his arms.

But no matter how careful Zhai Tianyu was, he could not escape the prying eyes of the palace. The maids who were returning from the laundry room caught a glimpse of Zhai Tianyu carrying a man in his arms. When the maids saw that the emperor was carrying a man in his arms, their eyes widened and then gasped. One of them even dropped the wooden bucket that she was carrying in her hands on the floor.

” Did …did I see it correctly?” One of the maids asked her friend as she stared at the path on which Zhai Tianyu was walking just a moment ago. She could not believe her eyes, she has been working in the palace for years and had never seen the Emperor carrying any concubine or even concubine Ji Yu who was his childhood sweetheart.

.....

But now all of a sudden he was carrying a man in his heavenly-blessed arms? Was this really happening?

The maid who was asked also had her hand on her mouth as she looked in the front, even though Zhai Tianyu was already gone. The sight of him carrying a man in his arms was still fresh in the eyes of the maid who was looking at the road where the Emperor was walking just a minute ago.

” I …I saw his majesty carry a man in his arms as he left for somewhere, did you see the same thing?” The maid asked as she looked at the one who was behind her and then saw how her friend solemnly nodded. The two of them looked at each other and then smacked their mouths before their eyes widened in surprise and a gossipy glint started to flicker in their eyes.

Though gossiping about the members of the imperial family was a crime but they were not gossiping this time, were they? They just wanted to discuss what happened right?

….

Zhai Tianyu did not know that he has left a piece of hot news behind him while he was bringing Liu Hui Ying back to her courtyard. Qui Ai was no longer as surprised as she used to get when she saw the Emperor for the first time, she calmly cleaned the bed of the Queen and then allowed him to lay Liu Hui Ying down. While she was doing this, she acted all fussy towards Liu Hui Ying and did not even glance at Zhai Tianyu.

Seeing that he has been pushed to the side, Zhai Tianyu was simply speechless. First, it was the queen and now her maid was walking on the same path as her…he the Emperor of this imperial palace was standing right next to her and she was acting as if she could not see him, what a mess!

Qui Ai who was covering Liu Hui Ying with a quilt turned around and looked at Zhai Tianyu who was standing behind her, when she saw him standing behind him, she tilted her head and then asked with a naive voice, ” Your majesty, is there something that you want?” And if there is nothing then can you please get out?

Though she did not say what was going on in her head, Zhai Tianyu understood her meaning. He looked at Qui Ai with an exasperated look on his face, he looked at the maid who was throwing him out and couldn’t help but pursed his lips in annoyance.

This maid …she was truly following her master! She was kicking the Emperor of this palace out of the room that belonged to his queen! What kind of King was he?
