Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 543 Whats the point of paying respect now (2) ?

Nanny Gong's eyes widened while Xiao Ai narrowed her eyes. She hid behind Nanny Gong as she muttered, "Whats the point coming in the day? Everyone will still think that her majesty is not favoured and this is just a compensation visit."

Though her voice was really soft, both Nanny Gong and Zhai Tianyu heard her voice. Nanny Gong heard her because she stood right in front of Xiao Ai while Zhai Tianyu heard her because of his sharp senses. His eyebrows raised slightly as he looked at Xiao Ai who was hiding behind Nanny Gong.

He really couldn't understand what he had done to make Xiao Ai so dissatisfied with him but then he remembered what Yu Lingyun had told him this morning.

'This little girl really knows how to hold a grudge,' Zhai Tianyu was speechless. He wasn't even the one who stopped her from entering his palace, why was she getting angry at him?

And it wasn't that he did not want to visit Liu Hui Ying at night, he was itching to come and see her in the night but Zhai Tianyu knew that she wouldn't appreciate it.

"Yo…Your majesty," Nanny Gong bowed in front of Zhai Tianyu, she silently hoped that Zhai Tianyu did not hear a word that came out of Xiao Ai's mouth or else Xiao Ai was done for!

Zhai Tianyu smiled at Nanny Gong as he granted her permission to raise her head. He did not even mention Xiao Ai's disobedience. After falling for Liu Hui Ying, he seemed to have realized that his bottom line was getting refreshed again and again.

He actually did not punish a servant who acted imprudent in front of him.

In the past, he would have given such an imprudent and disobedient servant a good lesson. However, he knew that if he dared to touch Xiao Ai not only would he end up causing trouble for himself but he would also push Liu Hui Ying away from him. He did not want to do that, so even if he was slightly annoyed with what Xiao Ai said, he could only act as if he was unaware of everything.

"How is my queen doing?" He asked Nanny Gong.

"Ah well…her majesty is doing really well, she is currently having her breakfast," Nanny Gong replied with a stammer. She bit her tongue and peeked at Zhai Tianyu, worried that he would be upset that she had stuttered in front of him. But Zhai Tianyu did not say anything, instead, his eyes were filled with an amused glint.

He had heard of the rumours from the servants and Eunuch Li, apparently, Liu Hui Ying could eat three to four tables of food alone but as much as he knew about her, Zhai Tianyu knew that there was no way Liu Hui Ying would be able to eat so much food.

It could only mean one thing and that was —— the ghosts ate the meal.

This was something that he wanted to watch very much.

"I see then I will go and see her," Zhai Tianyu said to Nanny Gong, the latter wanted to tell Zhai Tianyu that Liu Hui Ying did not appreciate it when someone interrupted her meal but Zhai Tianyu raised his hand and then stopped Nanny Gong.

"I am her husband, I should be allowed to enter her bedchambers as I wish right?" Zhai Tianyu questioned causing Nanny Gong to look at him in bewilderment. She could not stop him since he had said it like this, she could only watch him walk inside the bed chambers of her majesty with a blank look in her eyes.

Nanny Gong then turned to look at Xiao Ai and questioned lightly, "Isn't his majesty way too confident?"

"It's just overconfidence at this point," Xiao Ai rolled her eyes as she remarked but this time around Nanny Gong did not retort her, instead she nodded and agreed. "Right, you are, Little Ai."

Inside the room, Liu Hui Ying was eating her chicken porridge when she heard the sound of footsteps and raised her head in horror, the ghosts who were eating next to her were also shocked.

They did not know whether to put the bowls and chopsticks down or continue eating because the shoes came to a stop in front of them.

They all paused and looked at Zhai Tianyu who saw Liu Hui Ying surrounded with flying utensils of course with his Emperor aura he could see Liu Hui Ying's ghosts. He thus knew that the utensils were not flying in the air.

Liu Hui Ying on the other hand was speechless. She looked at the man who had not arrived last night on time but now popped out of nowhere.

She glared at Zhai Tianyu and questioned, "Does His Majesty like to give heart attacks to all his wives or is it just me?'

Zhai Tianyu could sense the biting force in Liu Hui Ying's voice. He knew that the little girl Xiao Ai had told everything to Liu Hui Ying, however, he did not feel angry instead he felt amused and happy.

If Liu Hui Ying was getting angry at the thought of him spending his night with another woman doesn't that mean that she had feelings for him?

Zhai Tianyu was so desperate that he was willing to take even this as a start.

He walked inside the chambers of Liu Hui Ying and then sat down in front of her. He said, "I am not giving you a heart attack, I was worried about you my queen which is why I came here without eating."

"Are you sure that you are worried and not bored?" Liu Hui Ying snorted as she rolled her eyes. "You did not seem quite worried last night when I was attacked. Rely on men…my foot if I had relied on you I would be six feet under."

"My queen…are you jealous?" Instead of responding to her quibbling Zhai Tianyu questioned causing Liu Hui Ying to pause.
