Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 37

37 Stay in the pyjamas of husband

Liu Hui Ying blinked at the outburst of the Emperor, the servants were already on the ground and she could feel the shivering Qui Ai tug on her skirt but Liu Hui Ying simply snatched her skirt out of her grasp and scoffed, ” How dare Yin to defy Yang? I am going to defy you at every turn what are you going to do? Cut my head and hang it on the city wall? Do it! Maybe granting someone poisonous wine and forcing them to a blind corner is something that you can forget with ease and sleep peacefully at night but to me, it was the most horrifying thing to happen because of you... you have no idea what I have to lose! I am going to defy you, not only today but every day in the future what are you going to do huh? HUH?”

Silence descended upon everyone as they all looked at the Emperor with bated breath, this was the first time that a woman dared to say such words to his majesty, was she not afraid that she will lose the favour of the Emperor and be discarded? What was she doing by going against him?

Even Zhai Tianyu felt that Liu Hui Ying might have gone crazy after last night’s ordeal, she not only retorted to him, she even said that she was going to defy him at every turn possible, by saying those words where was she putting his face? How dare she!

” Zhen is your husband!” Zhai Tianyu roared as anger surged to his head, to hell with being kind and nice to this woman. She was simply his bane, a disaster born to ruin his perfect facade, with just a few words she made his heart stifled with anger. Why did he know that Liu Hui Ying had such a talent for angering someone? ” How dare you say that? Are you not afraid that you will become an abandoned woman, how can you even say such a thing to your husband, the lord of your life–”

” Then divorce me, divorce me now!” Liu Hui Ying interrupted Zhai Tianyu with a loud scream, lord of her life? Was this man high or something? He wasn’t even the dirt beneath her shoe, who told him that he was the lord of her life? ” I don’t care, I might as well live a peaceful life as an abandoned woman and then be married to you, lord of my life! No one is the lord of my life, I am the one who owns my life, I will decide whether I stay alive or die, who are you to make that decision for me? You didn’t give me birth and neither did you not raise me, what have you done to become my lord?”

” Zhen is your husband! Zhen married you!”

” Hah! Just because you married me?” sneered Liu Hui Ying as she flicked her hair strands that were falling on her forehead and pushed them back. ” If you think that I am going to give you leverage just because of that, then you are wrong as hell! I am not going to give it to you, your esteemed majesty. If you are a husband then stay in the pyjamas of being a husband, and don’t try to become my god, if you want to become my God then you might as well try to bring me hundred of mountains of gold and a few countries to rule before calling yourself, my lord!”

After that, she flicked her hair and then turned her back on Zhai Tianyu who has been retorted to the point where he became speechless.

Seeing that Liu Hui Ying was actually leaving, he raised his hand and chased after her, ” You... Don’t you dare to turn your back on Zhen!”

.....

He stretched his hand to get hold of Liu Hui Ying, whose eyes widened and she snatched her hand away and raised it high in the air, seeing that Liu Hui Ying has snatched her hand away, Zhai Tianyu went to hold her other hand but Liu Hui Ying snatched that hand away as well and raised it overhead, now both her hands were raised in the air as if she was standing in punishment.

” What are you doing?” asked Zhai Tianyu as he looked at Liu Hui Ying with a frown. ” Is this how an Empress of the country should behave?”

Liu Hui Ying did not reply to him at once, instead, she bunny-hopped three steps back and then heaved a deep breath before dropping her hand and looking at him with an annoyed expression. “That’s supposed to be my line! Did I not ask you to stay away from me like three feet away? Why are you even getting close to me and trying to hold my hand, I don’t want you to hold my hand.”

Zhai Tianyu felt like he was going to have ulcers by the time he finishes talking to Liu Hui Ying, he closed his eyes and then pointed at her with a trembling finger while his temple throbbed dangerously. ” I am asking you to stop! So stop who are you to turn your back on me?”

He was so furious that instead of addressing himself as ‘Zhen’, he ended up using ‘I’.

” Why? Am I your dog?” Liu Hui Ying shot back as she tipped her chin and raised her pupils slightly with an exaggerated raise of her brows. ” If you ask me to stop I will stop, if you tell me to roll on the ground, I will roll?”

” I am just trying to have a conversation with you, my queen...” Zhai Tianyu gritted out as he looked at Liu Hui Ying with a forced smile on his face. Why was it that no one ever told him that Liu Hui Ying’s tongue was covered with barbed wires? He said one thing and she will retaliate with a thousand more words, what kind of teaching did Second old master Liu has given to his daughter? Not only she had no respect for her husband, but her tongue was sharper than his sword
