Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 538: Nonsense (2)

Nanny Gong and Xiao Ai did not have any idea about Martial arts or spiritual energy thus when they heard Zhai Tianyu's explanation though they were surprised they did not doubt his nonsensical explanation.

Was their missy born with a great spiritual energy?

Though Nanny Gong and Xiao Ai were more or less convinced by what Zhai Tianyu said, Nanny Gong still hesitantly asked, "Your majesty, you..you are speaking the truth? There is nothing wrong with Her Majesty?"

"Of course not," Zhai Tianyu replied with a confident look on his face. He paused and then added, "Do you think that I, the Emperor would like to you? Her Majesty the Empress really is fine. There is nothing wrong with her. Your mistress is gifted and she only lost control of her spiritual strength.

Sometimes even General Yu loses his control and he starts resembling a monster… haven't you heard the rumours where he is called a demon by others?"

Yu Lingyun was indeed called the 'Demon of the Battlefield' but it was because he was so strong that he looked like the incarnation of a demon and not because he turned into one!

When Yu Lingyun saw how carelessly Zhai Tianyu had thrown him under the carriage, he was speechless. He wanted to ask his friend and superior what kind of grudge he had against him. Did Zhai Tianyu think that people were not terrified of him enough?

Sure enough, when he turned to look at Xiao Ai, she was looking at him with fear and nervousness. It made him feel like thousands of arrows had been aimed at his heart. He clearly did not and would not turn into a demon like Liu Hui Ying but for the sake of his beloved, Zhai Tianyu threw him in front to block the unfriendly fires.

And if that was not enough, Yu Lingyun then heard Zhai Tianyu say, "Isn't that right, my dear general Yu?"

Yu Lingyun wished he could end Zhai Tianyu and go ahead and join a rebellion. His friend for the sake of smoothing his own love life, was creating pits in Yu Lingyu's love life, he truly wanted to refuse but when he saw Zhai Tianyu widen his eyes and nod at him furtively.

Seeing that he had no other choice, Yu Lingyun could only purse his lips and nod. He was angry but at the same time he knew that this was his fate, thus he could only swallow his anger and then say stiffly, "That is right. I do turn into a similar entity to her Majesty.

The spiritual energy can do it to someone sometimes… and as her majesty never trained, she must have gotten even more impacted by the surge of spiritual energy."

Yu Lingyun could only swallow this hard pill.

Beside him, Zhai Heng looked at Yu Lingyun sympathetically. This time his friend really did suffer but what could they do? They could not tell about Liu Hui Ying's situation to Nanny Gong and Xiao Ai.

One was old and the other was too naive, what if they got terrified because of Liu Hui Ying's powers? He did not want to ostracize Liu Hui Ying who already had no one in this harem other than her loyal servants.

Zhai Tianyu heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that he was speaking nonsense but it was good as long as Nanny Gong and Xiao Ai were willing to listen to his nonsense and fortunately, maybe the two also wanted a lue to hold on to, they agreed with what Zhai Tianyu told them.

That was right. How was it possible for Liu Hui Ying to turn into a demon? She was a human! They were the ones who were too foolish and did not think carefully.

When Zhai Tianyu saw that Nanny Gong and Xiao Ai seemed to have calmed down, he smiled at them benevolently and said, "You can go to the guest room at the side courtyard. I will ask someone to bring Her Majesty there as well, as this room is now covered with blood it is not good for you three to stay here."

Nanny Gong and Xiao Ai nodded. They left the bed chambers while Zhai Tianyu asked a few mammies to bring Liu Hui Ying to the guest room. Nanny Gong and Xiao Ai were worried about Liu Hui Ying thus they did not leave her alone even for a second.

Before they knew it, the worry about Liu Hui Ying's well-being overpowered the terror they felt just now.

Once they were gone, the smile on Zhai Tianyu's lips fell and he said to Zhai Heng, "Look at the mark behind their backs. The assassins raised by the Ji family all have a similar mark."

Zhai Heng nodded as he undid the clothes of the assassins and then revealed the serpent marks on their backs. His expression turned sombre as Zhai Heng turned to look at Zhai Tianyu. They knew that the Grand Empress Dowager was going to make a move on Liu Hui Ying but they did not expect her to make a move so soon.

It was as if she was waiting for Liu Hui Ying to step out of the line and she could put her to eternal sleep.

"What now?" Zhai Heng questioned. As he threw the clothing of the dead assassins on the ground.

Zhai Tianyu sneered and then sheathed his sword before saying, "Since she likes to use someone else's shoulder to aim the arrow at someone else, we will do the same." His eyes flashed as he ordered, "Go and call the special guards have them know that I need them to clear up a small mess."

Though Zhai Tianyu did not want to go to war with the Ji family right away, he did not want to become a useless man who could not even stand up for his wife. Thus he decided to teach the Ji family a lesson.

Zhai Heng wanted to say something but when he thought of how Grand Empress Dowager was stepping over the line, it was time for her to learn a lesson as well.
