Detective Ghost Empress

22 I will walk

Liu Hui Ying caught a glimpse of Nanny Gong’s almost going to faint expression and shrugged casually. Did they really expect her to put on a freaking smile and look at the man who was the cause of her predicament like he was literally her blinding sun and she was his oh-so-poor servant? If not for this man here pushing this woman to kill herself off, she would not be trapped in this body.

Oh, her promotion, her money and her million dollars house. She has worked so hard to achieve all of that just how many cases did she has to take before she was able to save that much money and climb up the ranks? Now because of one man, all her hard work has gone into drains...even if she was to return now who knows how much time might have been wasted already? If she was to go back now maybe she will find that annoying Mr Guo sitting in her position!

Damn it!

Today was supposed to be her most amazing day and it turned out to become a horrible nightmare! Now she was dressed in this freaking dress that was choking the life out of her and heading to her doom, why her? Why not someone else? She might be a little greedy and a bit too awkward with men but...but she was a good woman! What did she do to deserve this?

” My Queen, do you mean to say that you do not forgive me?” The man in front of her called her again and Liu Hui Ying almost snapped her teeth at him, what was up with him? Why was he calling her my queen, my queen at every turn?

Liu Hui Ying drew to her full height or at least tried to with the crown weighing down on her as she crossed her arms and said, ” Why not I pick up a sword and drive through your chest right now, esteemed majesty? Let’s see if you have the heart to forgive me then.”

” Your majesty!”

” Her highness, what are you saying?”

.....

This time both Nanny Gong and Qui Ai nearly fainted as they looked at Liu Hui Ying. What was the empress doing? She was talking about harming the body of the esteemed Emperor? Did she not know that doing something like that may get her killed?

They all turned to look at the Emperor who was staring at Liu Hui Ying waiting for him to blow up but instead...

“Hahaha, looks like my queen knows how to joke now,” the Emperor laughed jovially as he looked at Liu Hui Ying and nodded his head. ” That’s great, that’s great, a pair of husband and wife should have such jesting happening between the two of them, only that way will we get close to each other.”

” I would rather jump in front of a hungry tiger than get close to you,” Liu Hui Ying shot back with a disgusted expression on her face, getting close to a man? She would rather choke on cat vomit.

” Joking, Joking!” Seeing that everyone has stiffened again Nanny Gong immediately laughed out loud as she dragged Liu Hui Ying back and murmured, ” What are you doing your majesty? That is the esteemed emperor how can you be this rude to him?”

” Be glad that I am only being rude to him,” said Liu Hui Ying in a whispering voice. ” What I want is to kick him right in between his legs and end the misery of this country once and for all.”

Nanny Gong turned to look at Liu Hui Ying with a shocked expression before shaking her head while the latter simply nodded her head and said, ” You better not stop me or else...” she made a kicking motion and nanny Gong immediately let go of Liu Hui Ying.

” It seemed that my queen and her nanny have a lot of things to talk about,” the two women had been whispering but the Emperor with his Martial arts skills was able to hear everything, a part of him wanted to think that Liu Hui Ying was only pretending to be angry with him and this was all her plan. After all, he knew how treacherous the Liu family could be but as Liu Hui Ying turned to look at him, he noticed that there was indeed no infatuation she had in her eyes before instead she was now looking at him with disgust as if seeing him caused her eyes to hurt.

Was it because she was the daughter of the Liu family? They were indeed poisonous snakes who knew how to hide in the dark.

So maybe the empress was simply doing something similar to what her uncle and aunt were doing to him?

“It’s nothing, esteemed majesty,” nanny Gong bowed even lower as she answered his question. ” I am just telling her majesty what she can and cannot do, as a young miss and the only child she is a bit wilful please don’t mind us.”

Zhai Tianyu: “....” I heard everything but then again Nanny Gong was indeed speaking the truth, she tried to stop the Empress from hitting him.

” Ahem, let’s go shall we?” He motioned to the palanquin that was standing behind him and said, ” I believe that we are running late we do not want grand dowager empress to wait anymore–”

” Where is mine?” Before he could finish speaking Liu Hui Ying very arrogantly and conveniently interrupted him. But being the gentlemanly and soft to the fairer gender Emperor he was, he smiled at her and said, ” What do you mean, my queen?”

” My ride,” she pointed to the palanquin behind him and added, ” Where is mine?”

What did she mean by hers?

Zhai Tianyu wanted to know what game she was playing but he still calmed the annoyance in his heart and said, ” We are supposed to share a ride on the first day of our marriage, my queen.”

He saw her getting stunned by his words before she turned to look at her nanny who nodded her head and then....

” I will walk.”
