Detective Ghost Empress

121 what are you thinking ?

Oh, she was smart, Liu Hui Ying thought in her head. In fact, she didn’t want to help Zhai Chenguang without bullying the grand dowager empress for a good deal of her time but who would have thought that the grand dowager empress’s heart was this weak, she fainted with something so small? She wanted to have some more fun with her and now that she has fainted so easily, it will take some time for her to convince Zhai Chenguang to continue with her scare tactics.

Yes, if she wanted she could have helped the grand dowager empress and Zhai Chenguang but she wasn’t a kind woman. She was not her foolish sister who will help just anyone as long as they were in need of her help, she was petty and vengeful. Since the grand dowager empress treated her so casually why should she make her daughter’s case her priority?

Her priority was to get away from this place and as for the rest of things, they were her side chicks.

” Look,” after thinking for a long time Liu Hui Ying carefully started her plan of brainwashing Zhai Chenguang, she still wanted to have some fun with that old hag, but just once wasn’t enough. ” When you were alive, you might have gone sick a lot of times right?”

Zhai Chenguang nodded, she didn’t understand where Liu Hui Ying was going with it but she still answered, ” That’s right, I used to go to the imperial physicians when I got sick but what does that have to do with this?”

Liu Hui Ying rolled her eyes as she got up from the bathtub and then twisted her body such that she was facing the wall on the other side instead of Zhai Chenguang. It wasn’t that she was scared but Zhai Chenguang died because of an accident and her injuries weren’t light either coupled with the fact that she was also stabbed, she looked rather gruesome.
Looking at her for a rather long time made Liu Hui Ying heave her last night’s dinner.

” Then take it like this,” Liu Hui Ying picked up the towels that were placed on the side of the cabinet by the maids and then started wiping herself as she turned to look at Zhai Chenguang and continued, ” I am your doctor and you are my patient because I am the only one who can help you at the moment, so if you did you question the imperial physicians when they were treating you?”

” No,” Zhai Chenguang replied with a shake of her head.

.....

” That’s right,” Liu Hui Ying shrugged off her wet undergarments and then started dressing up, usually this was done by a maid but Liu Hui Ying didn’t like the idea of anyone touching her so, she took the responsibility of dressing herself up. ” You did not question them, so don’t question me as well, listen to what your doctor says and your doctor says that you keep doing what you did tonight, only then your disease will be treated, got it?”

As she spoke she walked straight to the bathroom door and slid it open but as soon as she slid it open, her gaze met with a rather solemn-looking Zhai Tianyu.

” EEP! You...” She jumped three steps back and covered her face with her hands at once. ” What ...What are you doing here? Why are you standing there like a creep? Don’t tell me...” her eyes widened as she looked at him with a stunned look on her face. ” You were–”

” You are wrong,” she didn’t even finish when Zhai Tianyu interrupted her furiously, he didn’t even have to listen to her to know what she was thinking in her head. ” I just came here and wanted to ask her what was going on when I heard you speak because the maids left the rooms when I came, I thought that you needed something and came to see but then I heard something and I lost the chance to get away from here.”

He noticed that Liu Hui Ying still had her hands over her mouth and sighed as he waved his hand and the scent of his perfume vanished with the gust of wind that blew in the room, even he stepped back and made sure to clean the scent left behind by him.

Seeing that Zhai Tianyu was walking away from her, Liu Hui Ying heaved a sigh of relief but when she saw Zhai Tianyu use his spiritual energy so smoothly she was impressed. ” You are really talented when it comes to martial arts,” she paused and then turned to look at him with a scrunched-up look. ” Should you not hide this from me?”


” How do you know I am hiding my skills from others?” Zhai Tianyu asked, he was sure that he hasn’t told anything to her about this and never made a show of it either.

Liu Hui Ying rolled her eyes and then scoffed with a mocking curl of her lips. ” Of course I know, I can see your spiritual energy... I can see a lot of things if I am paid.... I can even tell you, your future if you want, you just have to pay me a nice, hefty sum and nothing else.”

” Thanks but I will like to pass, I know that if I was to ask for your help, you will suck me dry of my money,” Zhai Tianyu didn’t spend much time with Liu Hui Ying but he had a very good idea about how big her appetite for money was, if he allows her, she might as well take the entire imperial treasury under her control. ” I am not here for that, I am here because I wanted to know what you mean by this, my queen?”

He lifted the copper plate that had letters written on them and solemnly looked at Liu Hui Ying, his voice accusatory. ” You could have killed my grandmother with your small vengeance, was it not possible for you to let go of such a small grievance? After all, I was the one who was behind everything, if you are upset then you can come at me.”
