Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 517: Not alone anymore

On the other hand, Liu Hui Ying had no idea that the one enemy she was trying to guard against from the very beginning seemed to have started to move against her. But even if she did know there was nothing Liu Hui Ying could have done as the Grand Dowager Empress was a woman who knew no gratitude or anything of the sort.

Even if she did not know that it was Liu Hui Ying who helped her daughter to move on to the underworld, Liu Hui Ying did help her with her health concerns yet that old woman had forgotten that little thing Liu Hui Ying did with ease.

" Ah my arms are about to fall off!" Liu Hui Ying hissed as she rushed inside the cold palace while clutching the front of her pants that she was wearing. As she looked down, Liu Hui Ying found out that her allergy seemed to have flared up even more causing her legs to be covered with pus-filled boils as well.

She cursed that man in her head. Sure enough, that man was the vilest of the men she had ever seen in her life. If not her allergy would not have flared up to this point and not this badly.

' Was he a murderer or ra*ist?' Liu Hui Ying hoped that the man was neither of the two things because then she would feel guilty over the fact that she had allowed that man to escape when she could have caught him and apprehended him. ' I hope that man was not a big shot criminal. Fck, it hurts!'

She grimaced as she took out the ointment and started to apply it to her boils. Some of the boils broke causing Liu Hui Ying to roll her eyes in pain several times as she hated pain. The one thing that she was afraid of was getting hurt as Liu Hui Ying had been shot in the back or front many times and even now she was not used to getting hurt.

Liu Hui Ying cleaned the mess on her leg where the pus was trickling down before turning to blow out a breath as her tender skin felt even more pain because of getting inflamed due to her allergy.

However, Liu Hui Ying never cried from start to finish because she knew that no one was going to help her. She had been alone ever since her sister died…with her gone no one would ever help her in tending her wounds ——

"YOUR MAJESTY!"

" YOUR MAJESTY!"

No sooner did she finish thinking, Xiao Ai and Nanny Gong rushed inside the cold palace. Xiao Ai was holding the crown on her head with her hands while rushing towards Liu Hui Ying behind her was Nanny Gong who was holding her skirt in her hands.

The two women rushed forward and then hugged Liu Hui Ying in their arms.

" Your majesty, where did you go? I was so scared!" Xiao Ai cried while hugging Liu Hui Ying, the mask on her face had long melted off. " I thought that I was going to die Your Majesty! Never ask me to sit on the throne! It's so scary! You are really powerful Your Majesty!"

" Your majesty, what happened to you? Why are there so many boils on your skin?" Nanny Gong fussed as she took the clean fabric from Liu Hui Ying's hands and blew air on the boils that had burst and were now dripping with blood. " What kind of tragedy did you suffer, your majesty? Why did you not tell me? Look at this… so much blood. Oh heavens!"

As she fussed with Liu Hui Ying, Nanny Gong wiped the blood.

Liu Hui Ying who hadn't been doted on like this for a long time was stunned before she shook her head and laughed out loud.

She hugged Xiao Ai who was leaning on her left side and said, "What's wrong? Every maid here wants to be the Empress and I gave you the chance to sit on the throne without any bloodshed, you don't like it?"

Xiao Ai shook her head as she said, " I don't want to be the Empress, Your Majesty! Everyone looked at me like they were waiting for me to make a mistake. It was just too scary! I don't know how you even stay calm with so many people staring at you and waiting for you to slip up."

Xiao Ai had felt the gazes filled with envy as well as malice targeted at her. In the past she used to think that the reason her mistress acted so rude to some people was because she changed but after she climbed up the throne, Xiao Ai realized that if her mistress was not as strong as she made herself, then she would be eaten by those people who were waiting for her to die.

Liu Hui Ying's eyes dimmed when she heard Xiao Ai's response. She used her arm which she had placed on Xiao Ai's arm and then hugged her before saying, "It's all right. What are you afraid of? Do you think that your missy will slip up? Never."

She smiled at Xiao Ai who knew that Liu Hui Ying was smiling at her like that because she wanted her to calm down but the truth was that her missy must be scared at times like these right?

" Your majesty," Xiao Ai looked at Liu Hui Ying with a sincere look on her face. She blinked her doe-like eyes and clutched Liu Hui Ying's hands in hers before saying, " Your majesty, you can rely on us a bit more. I and Nanny Gong might not be as strong and capable as you but we will stay in front of you like shields."

" Thats right, Your Majesty," Nanny Gong also raised her head and gently reached out her clean hand before touching Liu Hui Ying's cheek. " I watched you grow, your majesty. For you I am willing to give up my life as long as you are safe, nothing else matters."
