Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 36

36 Yin defying Yang

‘ Should I kill him?’ This was the first thought that came to Liu Hui Ying’s head the second she stepped out of the courtyard of the Grand Dowager Empress, she has gotten what she wanted and now all she needed was to take off this heavy burden that she was carrying on top of her head and just roll around her bed but ever since she stepped out of the archway that led to the stairs of hell, she has gotten a tail that she couldn’t rid of, and that tail was none other than —

” My Queen wait! Zhen has something that Zhen wants to talk about with you.” The Emperor strode towards her after stepping off his palanquin, Concubine Ji and the others too followed suit as they got off the palanquin and walked behind the Emperor.

‘ Son of a bitch!’ Liu Hui Ying sourly looked at the palanquin behind them her lips twitching in anger as she clenched her fists. Just one hit, she just wanted to hit this man for once!

” You can’t,” said Jia Li with a heavy sigh as she looked at Liu Hui Ying’s clenched fingers, she has been with Liu Hui Ying long enough to know that she wasn’t even joking when she said that she wanted to hit the Emperor. ” You do know that if you die right now, then this tight corset and everything else will become your dress code?” She motioned to herself and pointed to her penguin pyjamas and deadpanned, ” I am embarrassed every day and which brings us to the promise you made to me last month, you said that you will get me a Chanel dress!”

” Are you an idiot?” She turned her head and shouted at Jia Li who was complaining about her dress code all of a sudden but in her anger, she forgot to shout inside her head, instead, she shouted out loud at Qui Ai who was standing behind her.

The little girl’s eyes filled with tears as she blinked at Liu Hui Ying rapidly and asked with a sobbing voice, ” M..., your majesty, are ..are you okay why are you shouting at me like this, di...did I make a mistake ?”

” No, no, no, it’s not you...” Liu Hui Ying shot a glare at Jia Li who started whistling and looked away as if she couldn’t see Liu Hui Ying’s glare leaving the latter to coax Qui Ai. “It is not your fault, I ... I was just thinking something and lost control, don’t cry okay?”

Qui Ai nodded her head but she still had a sullen pout on her face causing Liu Hui Ying’s head to throb.

” My queen?” And of course, the Emperor has to open his mouth when she was in a sullen mood. Liu Hui Ying turned her head with a ferocious expression on her face that caused Yu Lingyun to step back and drag Zhai Heng with him as he muttered, ” Stay alert the Queen do a fantastic shoulder throw.”

.....

Zhai Heng: “.....”

He turned to look at Liu Hui Ying who was as frail as the small peach blossom, easily crushed and trodden before turning to look at his friend and the general of the army as he calmly and sternly advised him, ” Do not drink so much at night...and start working out a little, I see that you have gotten smaller than before.”

This time it was Yu Lingyun’s turn to become speechless, he was a six feet tall man with nothing but muscles and buff, yet he was being called small just because he was an inch shorter than Zhai Heng. Ptui! Fine! Just go and do your thing, he will enjoy the show when the Queen throws him over her shoulder if she was to get her hands on him.

Seeing Liu Hui Ying’s ferocity even Zhai Tianyu was a bit surprised as he took a step back instinctively causing everyone to look at him. It was only then did he realise what he just did now and cleared his throat uncomfortably, ” Ahem, my queen what Zhen was trying to ask was where did you learn your medical skills from?”

” And why do you care about that, your esteemed majesty?” asked Liu Hui Ying with a raised brow as she looked at him with a haughty smile on her face.

Why did those words ‘esteemed majesty’ sound like ‘ what are you looking at pig?’ to him?

Zhai Tianyu shook his head and then looked at Liu Hui Ying with a smile as he crossed his hands behind his back and said, ” Why else? Zhen just wants to know more about you queen.”

‘More like you want to see how strong I am before coming up with a perfect plan to get rid of me,’ Liu Hui Ying inwardly scoffed before she raised a finger and said, ” Did you ever try to know me before we got married your esteemed majesty?”

” No,” replied Zhai Tianyu as he clenched his eyes as his pupils contracted, he did try to find out more about Liu Hui Ying but that was only for investigation purposes and it was his men who did the investigation and he has never really paid any attention to Liu Hui Ying before.

” That’s right, you didn’t give any damn about me, so it’s better for you to keep it like that,” said Liu Hui Ying with her arms crossed as she looked at him with a slight tilt of her head. “Let’s get along as we did before, you do your thing and I will do my thing, all right? That way we will live a happy and long life because I don’t know about you ...but if I was to look at your face, my lifeline sure is going to get short.”

” How long are you going to talk to me like that?” Zhai Tianyu could not help but ask with an annoyed voice, originally he wanted to be nice and gentle to Liu Hui Ying but the latter was simply not showing any respect to him at all. ” Zhen is your husband and Emperor, a wife should be respectful and obedient to her husband, how dare yin defy her yang?”
