Detective Ghost Empress

26 Golden goose

” The Grand dowager Empress really likes to eat sweet things, her favourite colours are black, navy blue and purple,” Zhai Tianyu was indeed thrown off by what Liu Hui Ying said but soon he picked himself up and started to go on and on about what the Grand dowager Empress liked and what she didn’t like a good husband.

Liu Hui Ying on the other hand hummed accordingly but inwardly she was cursing the emperor. She has sent her ghost servants to see around the palace earlier and they have risen to the task amazingly, after all, if they were going to stay in this place then it was better to know the enemy base properly and from the information that her ghost employees have collected– the Grand dowager Empress hated everything that was sweet and she almost killed one of her maids when she bought a bolt of black cloud silk.

Apparently, the grand dowager Empress lost her daughter a few years ago and she started hating the colour black and white from then on.

So, this bastard was actually telling her a lie! If she didn’t know better she would have lost her life without even knowing what she did wrong! Schemers every one of them was a black-hearted schemer! She has to get out of here or else–

Liu Hui Ying turned to look at the Emperor and her left eye started to twitch looking at that innocent smile, if she didn’t use to deal with psycho killers and murderers on daily basis she wouldn’t have known what was going on inside this man’s head.

” What are you looking at my queen?” as if just sensing her gaze, the emperor turned to look at Liu Hui Ying who in turn smiled and said, ” Just wondering how can your smile be this innocent.” When you are planning to murder me so blatantly asshole.

Zhai Tianyu’s lips curled even more as he looked at her and said with a happy smile, ” Really? Even my royal grandmother says that I was born with a distinct innocence, apparently, she is very fond of telling everyone that I was born with an angel-like smile– why are you looking like that my queen?”

” Nothing...” said Liu Hui Ying as she pressed a hand over her mouth and stopped her gagging reflex, honestly she never thought that one day she would be so disgusted by someone’s nonsense that she would want to vomit everything out. She glanced at the Emperor who was looking at her with a politely bewildered glance and she couldn’t help but scrunch up her face — really, just how in the world anyone can say such bullshit without cringing even once?

Thankfully, the two of them reached the doors of the grand dowager empress’s palace and Zhai Tianyu’s nonsense stopped seeing that he has stopped speaking, Liu Hui Ying heaved a sigh of relief, and finally, he stopped yammering in her ears.

.....

” My Queen?”

Just as she was relishing the peace, she heard the same annoying voice drifting over to her ear and she twisted her head with such a fervent angry glare that even Yu Lingyun who was standing behind Zhai Tianyu took a step back.

” What?” She snapped with such annoyance in her voice that Zhai Tianyu forgot to speak, he could see that Liu Hui Ying was really angry this time and in case he said anything that was foolish, it will be her hand and his cheek.

“Nothing,” he wasn’t scared of her not at all, it was just that a good man never tried to test the waters with an angry woman.

Seeing that he was not going to say anything Liu Hui Ying turned to look in the front nursing her forehead, she was really getting a bad feeling about this.

” The Esteemed Emperor and the Empress are here!” The guard standing in front of the doors announced their arrival and opened the door, as soon as the doors were opened Liu Hui Ying could see two women sitting in the hall that was well furnished with every rare antique the Emperor could have found, a wonderful and convenient brazier burnt in the middle of the hall because the grand dowager Empress palace was always could since it was at such a height.

But Liu Hui Ying did not even glance at the rare antiques or the many comforts, her gaze didn’t even stray to the young woman sitting next to the Grand dowager Empress, instead, all her attention was focused on the pale woman with many injuries and a dagger sticking out of her throat.

She haphazardly greeted the Grand Dowager Empress after following the Emperor and returned her attention to the woman, though her skin was pale with many rotting wounds and dirt sticking to her face, Liu Hui Ying could see the resemblance between her and the grand dowager empress.

” That’s...” Jia Li began but Liu Hui Ying cut her off with a snicker in her head. ” Oh, I am going to make this old hag suffer so much just you wait.”

Just as they were looking at the ghost woman, the woman who was standing behind the grand dowager empress with her hands on her shoulder also looked up and gazed straight at Liu Hui Ying and her three ghosts. Liu Hui Ying saw the ghost’s eyes widen but she did not move away from the grand dowager empress, Liu Hui Ying knew why she didn’t do that.

Ghosts who have lingering attachments to this world would either fade away or they would turn into malicious spirits only to be exorcised by the ghost exorcisers. If they didn’t want that to happen then they had no choice but to clutch onto someone who would become their anchor holding them down without letting them become an evil spirit.

The ghost woman seems to be dead for a long time and from the looks of it she was carrying a lot of resentment as well, if not for sticking close to her mother, she would have really lost consciousness by now.

Liu Hui Ying’s lips curled slightly as a wave of glee shot through her. Oooh, her first golden goose was here!
