Detective Ghost Empress

"Why are you tagging along?" Liu Hui Ying questioned. She truly could not understand why this man was trying to get in between. Did he think that she was going there to have fun or something of the sort?

She was going to that village because she wanted to get rid of this ghost! Not because she wanted to have fun!

Liu Hui Ying stared at the man whose smile did not waver and she then heard him say cheekily, "I know that you are not going there to have fun, my queen. However, I have been locked up in the palace for so long—— so why don't we take advantage of this opportunity and have a little fun at the side?"

Zhai Tianyu only wanted to spend some time alone with Liu Hui Ying, something that he couldn't do while staying at the imperial palace. However, while he had thoughts of getting closer to Liu Hui Ying, the latter wanted to do nothing more than stay away from him.

She was already having trouble trying to get him out of her head, if she was to stay with him for weeks or days, wouldn't she just get even closer to him? Then how was she supposed to get him out of her head?!

Liu Hui Ying stared at Zhai Tianyu with a speechless look on her face. She wanted to say something more but the latter pulled a pouting expression and then she heard him say, "But I don't even remember when was the last time I stepped out of the palace. Can't I just follow you, my queen?"

Experience more on empire

Zhai Tianyu was good-looking to begin with and when he pulled a pouting expression like this, even Liu Hui Ying who pretended to be cold and stern in the presence of men felt her heart struck with an arrow. She turned her head to the side with an awkward expression, how was she supposed to refuse him when he looked like that?

"No, you cannot," though Liu Hui Ying found it hard to refuse him, she still hardened her heart and then said to Zhai Tianyu, "You are the Emperor, if you were to follow me to the village what would others say?"

At the same time, she patted her on the back for coming up with such a good excuse.

However, just as Liu Hui Ying was done praising herself, she heard Zhai Tianyu say, "Don't you have a way, my queen? I remember you appearing at the same place as two persons."

Zhai Tianyu countered Liu Hui Ying with his sly remark causing the latter to become even more speechless. She forgot that this man was not as easy to deal with, he really knew how to push her buttons.

"I don't want to take you with me," Liu Hui Ying stated much more clearly. "You are the Emperor, if something happens to you then I will not be able to face the consequences even if I had nine lives like a cat!"

"Is that so?" She expected Zhai Tianyu to be angry with her but instead, he simply made a face and then shrugged his shoulders. He did not say anything to her which made her heave a sigh of relief but then she heard him say, "If that is the case then I cannot allow you to leave. The rules of the imperial family strictly state that the wife cannot appear anywhere her husband is not present.

If we are going by the imperial positions, then this is what is going to happen."

Liu Hui Ying stared at the man in front of her with a red face, she could not understand why Zhai Tianyu was suddenly interested in following after her but if he did not give her permission then ——

'It doesn't matter, even if he doesn't give me permission, I can always sneak out of the palace,' thought Liu Hui Ying.

Maybe her thoughts were clearly written on her face because a second later she heard Zhai Tianyu say, "If you sneak out of the palace, then I will have to send guards after you. We can't leave the Empress of the country alone, now can we? If something happened to you then I will not be able to compensate the Liu family even if I have nine lives."

He threw the words that Liu Hui Ying said to him back at her causing Liu Hui Ying to become speechless once more. She looked at Zhai Tianyu and knew that he was not going to let her leave unless he was allowed to tag along with her. Though Liu Hui Ying rolled her eyes and called him names in her head, she knew that there was no way she was getting out of this situation.

"Fine, if you want to follow then do so!" Liu Hui Ying felt like she was wasting her time quibbling with him. With his stubbornness, he might not even hear half of the things that she said to him.

Zhai Tianyu smiled at her with a sly glint in his eyes. He knew that as long as he was to push Liu Hui Ying in a corner she would definitely agree to let him follow her.

"Then I will make the necessary preparations, my queen," Zhai Tianyu got on his feet and then smiled at Liu Hui Ying once more before turning around and leaving.

Liu Hui Ying watched him leave with a distorted expression. She smacked her on the table before saying, "What a hassle! He just doesn't know when to stop, does he?"

Liu Hui Ying remarked with an angry voice. She threw her back and groaned no longer feeling hungry. Now she had to spend weeks with this man…the one whom she wanted to avoid with every ounce of her being.

Jia Li looked at Liu Hui Ying who was groaning and then said to her, "You should stop trying to resist him. I don't think that he is willing to give up so easily."

"Shut up," Liu Hui Ying snapped. While sobbing at her misfortune, why did she have to meet with a man like Zhai Tianyu who was this sticky and clingy?
