Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 416: Tiger or the queen?

Zhai Tianyu was not one of those Emperors who would punish their ministers on the basis of his mood, in fact under his foolish cover, he was really calm and astute regarding many things but when he thought about how Ji Yang was the one who asked Xiao Lin to poison Liu Hui Ying and even killed the maid who belonged to his childhood friend, he could not leave this opportunity which was presented to him by Ji Yang, he immediately put on a long face and then rebuked his right prime minister,

" Prime Minister Ji, no matter how upset you are with me you cannot catch a mad tiger and then present it in front of me saying that you have caught it to honour my name! If the Liu family was to find out, they will make a joke out of this King!"

With that, he glanced at the tiger which was ramming his head on the metal bar with an unsightly expression and then turned around to leave, from his expression it looked like he was not at all happy with this 'thoughtful' present that Ji Yang brought for him.

When Ji Yang heard the words of Zhai Tianyu, his expression turned gloomy. He turned to look at the soldiers who were in charge of carrying the tiger, his gaze was very similar to that of a vicious serpent who was hiding in the dark and hidden corner waiting to take a swipe at his enemy.

The soldiers who were glared at by him lowered their heads and shivered, they did not know what to say to Prime Minister Ji, though they knew that the tiger's eyes which were wild and mad could not be shown to the Emperor, the tiger did not know that the person in front of him was the king of this land!

Under the effect of field cress, it was good enough that this tiger did not make a move and ripped the cage apart, and prime minister Ji was still hoping that this wild tiger will lay down docilely such that they will be able to tie a bow around his neck and drape a red silk cover over his body?

His majesty did not know what was the matter with the tiger but the prime minister did know what was wrong with the tiger, so why was he acting unreasonably like this?

The soldiers were angry while feeling wronged but they did not say anything and instead dragged the cage away such that prime minister Ji can coax the Emperor.

" Your majesty, it's not that this minister was trying to make a jab at you, I am your father-in-law as well as the nephew of the grand dowager Empress, in a way we are related to one another, how can I say something as rude as calling you mad or crazy, we, the Ji family know that his majesty is kind and benevolent, calling you mad is something that we can never do!"

Ji Yang was a man whose smile was gentle like a rain on hot summer, and when he coaxed someone he would lower his voice such that it sounded like it had been dripped with honey, unlike Liu Dong Ming who was a straight man with a cold voice and gloomy face, Ji Yang was naturally more popular in the imperial court.

But his abilities were lacking which caused him to always be suppressed by Liu Dong Ming.

Zhai Tianyu raised a brow, though he did not want to let the matter go, he still nodded his head and then said as if he understood what Ji Yang had said, " I understand, Prime Minister Ji but from the next time make sure to take a look at the eyes of the tiger before hunting it.

It will be too bad in case the ministers in the imperial court start spreading the rumour that you called me a crazy emperor, right ?"

When Ji Yang heard the words of Zhai Tianyu he almost coughed out blood. The next time? Was hunting a tiger that easy? Ji Yang wanted to scold Zhai Tianyu but he remembered that this man was no longer the small boy who could easily be suppressed by him.

In the past, Zhai Tianyu was alone and he was able to fool him but with Lou Dong Ming watching him from behind, Ji Yang was not confident that he will be able to tackle Zhai Tianyu with his current position and power.

" I understand, your majesty, the next time when I go on hunting, I will bring a tiger whose eyes are as beautiful as yours," with that he bowed allowing Zhai Tianyu to walk past him as he nodded and then moved to the side.

Once Zhai Tianyu left, Ji Yang who was bowing straightened up and spat on the ground.

" This boy, he is getting more and more annoying over time, he dares to say just about anything now!"

In fact, when Zhai Tianyu's father passed away, he wanted to usurp the throne but Dowager Empress interfered in the matter which was carefully planned by him. If not for that woman who stretched out her leg so far that she placed her son on the throne of the Emperor, the one who would be ruling the imperial city would have been the Ji family!

Ji Yang glared at Zhai Tianyu who was walking away for a few minutes before he turned on his heels and then walked away as well, he needed to prepare for tonight's show as well, there was no time to waste!

As he left, Zhai Tianyu who was a few steps ahead of him turned his head as he put a stop to his pace, his gaze fell on Ji Yang's back before falling onto the cage which was now standing a bit further away from him, his eyes flickered softly as he turned to look at Zhai Heng who was silently following him till now and said, " What do you think if prime minister Ji was to use that tiger against her majesty who will win?

The tiger or the Queen?"
