Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 93

93 Beg me.

” You are rather smart, my queen,” said Zhai Tianyu, he did come to Liu Hui Ying’s courtyard after having determined that he will do anything she asked him to do as long as she treats Ji Yu. Even if it meant breaking his vow and giving his body to Liu Hui Ying but from the looks of it, he thought too much, the way Liu Hui Ying was looking at him was similar to how one would look at a cockroach that they couldn’t get rid of no matter how many times they stomped on it.

” I am indeed smart,” she was simply guessing, the matter with Ji Yu was already closed and she has proven herself innocent as well so there was no need for Zhai Tianyu to come looking for her regarding Ji Yu’s case but now that he was here, she already knew why he was here. ” You are here to ask me whether or not I can help Ji Yu, right?”

” That’s right,” Zhai Tianyu nodded sounding hopeful.

When Liu Hui Ying heard his hopeful voice, she sneered. How selfish and self-centred, he was the one who killed this woman because of whatever reason that he had and now that he needed her help, he came looking for her?

” I am sorry but I cannot help you,” Liu Hui Ying replied without even thinking about what will happen to Ji Yu if she didn’t help her, as far as she knew Ji Yu was a nobody to her. Sure, she might be kind to others but she and her —-they had nothing in common for her to go against the heavens.

” You are lying,” Zhai Tianyu was stunned at first but then he calmed down and then hurriedly said, ” You can even keep a pierced heart alive, how can you not treat a poisoned womb? You don’t have to worry about the rewards, I will give you whatever you want...whether it’s money or jewels... you can ask anything that you want–”

” Hahaha, you are funny, your esteemed majesty,” Liu Hui Ying suddenly started laughing causing Zhai Tianyu to frown as he looked at her. ” What are you laughing at?”

” I am laughing at you, your majesty ...who else? Ho, what a joke,” she wiped a tear from the corner of her eyes and then shook her head. ” What will be next? Are you going to declare me as your God and start praying in front of me?”

” What nonsense are you sprouting, my queen–”

.....

” I am not sprouting nonsense,” before Zhai Tianyu can finish speaking, Liu Hui Ying stopped laughing as she looked at him with a dead serious expression. ” You are the one who started to joke around first, you are here because no one in the imperial physicians could heal your sweetheart and now that you are pushed into a corner, you want me to heal her. How? Something that even your imperial physicians can’t do, you are asking me to do that ...which basically means that you are asking for a miracle to happen? Do you think that miracle can happen just because you give out money, jewels and lands, your majesty?”

She scoffed as she continued while looking at Zhai Tianyu mockingly. ” For a miracle even if you hand over your throne to me, it won’t be enough...because what you are asking for is something that only gods can do ...so if I am your God,” she dipped her eyes on the floor and smiled coldly, ” Bow before me. Your. Majesty.”

Zhai Tianyu could feel that Liu Hui Ying was mocking him, he could sense that she was looking down at him as well. But he was desperate, he was the one who was at fault if not for him, Ji Yu wouldn’t have been harmed like this.

” I know that you hate me, my queen,” he said finally after taking a deep breath. ” But don’t you think that it’s too unkind for you to watch an innocent life being harmed in front of you like this?”

Liu Hui Ying paused in her actions of eating her meal when she heard his word, she raised her head and then looked at Zhai Tianyu with eyes filled with laughter as laughter bubbled inside her throat, a side of her lips curling as she said, ” Oooh that’s rich coming from your majesty, I did think that men were hypocrites but I never pegged you as one. This tells me how wrong I can be in my judgement sometimes.”

Hypocrite?

” When have I ever–” and that was when it hit him, she was talking about Liu Hui Ying whom he killed on their wedding night. His fingers clenched and unclenched as he looked at Liu Hui Ying who was smiling at him, she must have sensed that he understood what she meant and pursed his lips. ” I just did what was good for everyone, the Liu family–”

” Has nothing to do with her,” Liu Hui Ying finished for him, when he looked at her in disbelief, she nodded her head. ” The woman was innocent but just because she was linked to the Liu family and not the Ji family you handed her a death sentence, pray to tell me why should I help Ji Yu, your majesty. After all, she might be innocent but she is from the Ji family, that is enough for me to turn a blind eye to all of her pain and more importantly... I am not obliged to help her anymore, you see.” She hummed as she lowered her head and took a bite of her meal and then added, ” She was destined to die today...”

She smiled upon seeing Zhai Tianyu’s eyes go wide as he looked at her in shock. ” I saved her life, so you should be happy with what I have given her instead of what I am not giving her.”

” You won’t change your decision even if I were to order you, my queen?” He asked with gritted teeth.

And Liu Hui Ying leaned forward as she licked her front teeth. ” And that’s where you are wrong, your majesty..when a man needs me to do something for him, he needs to be on his knees not looking me in the eyes.” She smiled when anger blazed in his eyes and delivered the final blow. ” If you want me to help her why don’t you go on your knees maybe I will think about it?”
