Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 382: Who did this —-1

Xiao Lin was shaking by the time she was done stripping off the dress of the maid whose body was slowly turning cold.

She was scared as she picked up the clothes of a dead person and started wearing them but in her mind, she kept telling herself that this was for her mistress and that she was doing this for no one else but her missy which was why she pursed her lips and even though she felt like gagging she tied the belt around her waist and then walked over to the group of maids with her head lowered and covered by her hair.

Since the maid whom Xiao Lin killed was someone who stayed silent and did not like to talk because of her reclusive personality, no one turned to look at Xiao Lin which made her sigh in relief as she continued to hold the pouch that contained such a lethal poisonous flower in her hand which was hidden inside her sleeves.

A part of her screamed at her to forget everything and just leave this matter alone but Xiao Lin knew that there was no way she could give it up halfway even if her hands get dyed with blood for the sake of her missy who had always protected her and gave her the best of everything she was going to try and give it her all.

Which was why she swallowed the lump in her throat and decided to go on with the plan that she came up with inside her head.

" All right everyone, the cart is now loaded please start pulling it!" Nanny Gong said to the maids who were standing behind her because they were always worried that something might go wrong with the bathing water and food, only the maids who were selected personally by Liu Dong Ming were allowed to touch things that were used to serve Liu Hui Ying.

Nanny Gong would bring these maids with her even when bringing the meals of the queen and trusted them quite a lot, more importantly, she never expected that a tiny woman like Xiao Lin whose stature was half her size would even dare to kill a maid without even an ounce of regret which was why she did not look at the group that was standing behind her properly and asked them to push and pull the cart.

The maids moved and Xiao Lin who was with them also walked towards the cart while she continued to lower her head as if she was never going to raise her head. Seeing her act like this Nanny Gong frowned and stopped her, " Little Mi, what are you doing?"

Xiao Lin's heart almost jumped out of her chest when she heard Nanny Gong speak to her, she was thinking that she was caught already but instead, she heard Nanny Gong speaking to her in concern, " Watch where you are going, you picked up the wrong uniform again, right? Your skirt is longer than your feet, you will trip like this, forget it just push the cart from behind and don't do much."

The maid named Little Mi was a little klutz, she was an orphan who only had a big sister to take care of, her big sister took rather good care of Little Mi but Little Mi did not want to rely on her sister which was why she went to work in the courtyard of the Empress, fortunately for her the maids there were friendly and took care of her just like her big sister and even Nanny Gong was used to taking care of her.

This was something that Xiao Lin did not know and neither she did know that she just took the only sibling of a woman who worked in the kitchen.

She was possessed with the idea of bringing happiness to her missy, that she did not think of anything else!

Xiao Lin nodded, slightly relieved that she was not caught and then walked towards the end of the cart where she started pushing the cart with everyone else.

Her pace was brisk as if she believed that the faster she could bring the cart to Liu Hui Ying's tent, the faster she will be able to bring Ji Yu her ultimate happiness.

With a definite goal in her head, Xiao Lin did not feel tired even when she was pushing such a heavy cart, seeing the small girl work so hard, the maids around her started to move faster as well thinking that if someone as small as Xiao Mi could work so hard then they can do the same as well.

What they did not know was that their little Mi was already gone and her corpse was turning stiffer by the minute.

Soon they all arrived in front of the tent of the Emperor, since Zhai Tianyu knew that his wife was going to take a bath he went to hunt with his brother and Yu Lingyun under the pretext that he was going on a ride.

The maids all started to move as they placed the water-filled vessels on the ground and then walked inside while carrying them. The tent was large with a bed and sitting couch as well along with a study table and at the far end was a wooden divider that hid a large bath basin that was cleaned by Xiao Ai and Qi Qiao.

" Hurry up," said Xiao Ai as she picked up the scented oils that were sitting inside a wooden box that she brought with her back to the group of maids.

She picked up this bottle and that as she examined them while the maids filled the bathing basin with hot water on the other hand, Xiao Lin who was looking at the group of maids standing and pouring in the water walked towards where the rose petals and everything else was sitting and took out the pouch from which she picked out two poisonous orchids and then started to pluck their petals and started to mix them with the roses.

She only stopped when the rose petals were completely mixed with the petals of the purplish-white orchid.
