Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 27

27 *beep*

” You two are here?” The Grand Dowager Empress raised her head and looked at Liu Hui Ying and even though she was being suppressed by a spirit, she still looked rather vigorous and active, her eyes sharply glanced at Liu Hui Ying who raised her brow as she noticed the evident dislike in those elderly eyes.

Awesome, just what she needed another enemy without doing anything at all.

” Grandmother, I hope I find you in great health?” Zhai Tianyu walked in front leaving Liu Hui Ying behind, of course for Liu Hui Ying who has been breathing short intakes of breath because of Zhai Tianyu’s proximity it was like liberation from year-long restraints, she looked at the Emperor leave and took a deep breath. Finally, she was free!

Because she was busy inhaling a long gulp of air, she didn’t even look at the Emperor who took a seat next to a rather delicate-looking woman very naturally. It was only when Nanny Gang gasped and silently moaned, ” What is she doing here?”

Did Liu Hui Ying raise her head and took a second look at the female who was sitting next to the Emperor with a soft smile playing on her lips? Liu Hui Ying wasn’t someone who would judge someone by their looks but after she looked at the woman sitting next to the Emperor and was reminded of the looks of the woman’s body she was currently occupying, she couldn’t help but reach an understanding.

Sure enough, the wise men were right, love was really blind.

Though the woman sitting next to the Emperor was beautiful she wasn’t an ethereal beauty like this woman who was left to die, compared to this woman’s look, the woman next to the Emperor was a bit lacking. But that wasn’t something that she has to care about, was it? It was totally fine if the emperor was to get cosy up to that woman in fact it would be even better if just kept getting cosy with that woman.

That way she would be able to look for a way back in peace and then get out of this place as soon as she can!

However, Liu Hui Ying soon realised that the emperor wasn’t the only one who has problems with his eyes, his grandmother was the same. Even though it was supposed to be her tea ceremony, the grand dowager empress didn’t even take another look at her, she kept yammering on and on about this and that with the woman who was sitting next to the emperor. She didn’t even allow her to sit down, did she think walking three kilometres with this baggage on her back was an easy task? This damned hag!

.....

” What do you say, if I punch that old hag in her face would I be executed?” She asked her ghosts, since her ghosts and she was in perfect coordination, Liu Hui Ying didn’t need to speak anything aloud for them to hear, she could always what she wanted to say in her head and with their link, the ghosts were able to hear her without any problem.

” I bet you will be,” replied Jia Li after thinking a little. ” I mean that man does look like he cares a lot about his grandmother.”

” I say you should try punching that old witch,” chimed Li Gong from the side as he looked at the sight in front of him with his hands crossed over his head, he carelessly shrugged and added, ” Maybe if you die, you will be able to return to our world.”

” And what if I really die and get stuck in this world?”

” Then we can say that we are tired? I mean being a ghost is not that bad and the pain of death is the only thing that’s scary.”

” I don’t think that she should do something as stupid as that,” snapped Jia Li in an angry voice as she looked at Li Gong disapprovingly. ” I saw in one of those historical dramas that the punishment of defying the royalty is to be cut in half, it said that after being cut in half, the executioners place your behind in front of your eyes since a person retains their consciousness for quite a while even after being cut like that..at least that was what they showed in the drama.”

” Cool, I kind of want to see that...hey Hui Ying try hitting that woman, I will back you up!” Li Gong exclaimed excitedly after all he was a gangster and every time he saw something that was gore and bloody, he would get thrilled at the sight of it, having never seen such an execution before he sort of forgot that Liu Hui Ying was his master. ” Even if you die, we all can look for a new master.”

” Li Gang,” said Liu Hui Ying in a stoic voice as she turned to look at a corner and said, ” Go and stand in the corner before I burn you to a crisp.”

” Yes, mam.” Seeing that Liu Hui Ying was serious, he did not dare to say anything anymore and obediently floated to stand in the corner.

” Ara!” Just as Li Gang floated to a side, the grand dowager Empress turned to look at Liu Hui Ying with a surprised expression as if she was just realising that Liu Hui Ying was standing in front of her. ” Forgive me, child, I was so engrossed in talking with my grand-niece that I completely forgot that you are also here,” she turned to look at the woman in front of her and lightly slapped the back of her hand and said somewhat admonishingly, ” Look at you, Yu’er... you always make me lose track of time, see I completely forgot about little Ting.”

” Grandmother doesn’t hit Yu’er, she is just trying to make you happy,” said The Emperor with an expression of heartache as he softly caressed the woman’s hand and added, ” And the Queen’s name is Ying, not Ting.”

” Aiya! Look at my memory!” Grand dowager Empress smacked her forehead as she turned to look at Liu Hui Ying with an apologetic expression but her eyes were full of proactiveness as she said, ” Forgive me, little Ying... I am getting old and can no longer remember things as easily as I used to.”

Knowing what the three of them were playing at, Liu Hui Ying simply smiled and said, ” No, it’s okay... your majesty, there is no need for you to apologise to me.”

You three just you wait, I am going to fck your *beep* up!
