Detective Ghost Empress

“If everything goes all right then Scholar Wei should be back in two days,” Yu Lingyun who knew where Scholar Wei was because of his exchange with the soldiers who went with Scholar Wei to protect him.

” Then I think there is no need for you to worry,” Liu Hui Ying remarked as she arched her back and then walked out of the tearoom. ” I will see you three when Scholar Wei returns, see you.” As she spoke she pushed the door of the tearoom and then walked out after closing the door behind her, as soon as she stepped out, her calm expression turned serious as she turned her head and looked at Master Ren with a disgusted look on her face. ” That man is a scholar, what a tragedy.”

After that, she walked away from the tearoom while Jia Li and the others followed after her.

” What should we take this as?” Zhai Heng who heard what Liu Hui Ying said after stepping out of the tearoom asked his brother. ” From the looks of it, Master Ren is definitely involved in the matter but if he is involved in this matter then why is the Queen asking about Scholar Wei, did she not say that a man and woman were involved?”

“Maybe she wants to talk with scholar Wei about Master Ren?” Yu Lingyun suggested with a blank look on his face. ” After all Master Ren is his disciple, she might want to show his true face in front of Scholar Wei.”

“No, the Queen seemed to know something but she is not willing to tell us,” Zhai Tianyu too kicked his legs such that he was standing straight on the floor, his expression stormy as he looked down at the table where the teacups were sitting. ” For the next two days, I suggest we should be prepared for the worst.”

...

” I never expected that something this disgusting will happen,” Jia Li gagged for the third time but because she was a ghost she couldn’t throw up anything that was in her stomach.

.....

Li Gang too looked a bit disturbed. ” When Hui Ying said that those people were sick in the head, I thought that they were sick like that but never like this.”

” Poor Chenguang,” Grandma Lan Fen sighed with a sad note in her voice, she was rather fond of Zhai Chenguang given that the girl would bring her all sorts of gossip but now that she was closer to finding out what happened to her, she shook her head. ” Hui Ying makes sure that you don’t push that poor girl too much, she might not be able to take it.”

Liu Hui Ying had her eyes closed as she took a small power nap with her head left on the carriage’s wall, she was expecting to sleep a little but the chatter of her ghosts stopped her from doing so.

She heaved a sigh and with her eyes still closed asked, ” What do you want me to do? Tell her a sweet lie and then wrap it up? You know that is something that we cannot do, as detectives and a training celestial master, if we hide it from her then we might as well quit working as one because this will be negligence of our duty.”

” But she won’t be able to withstand the pain–”

” Her life was a lie and so was her death,” Liu Hui Ying opened her eyes. ” I found it weird when she said that she did not see who killed her but I am sure she knows who killed her but the shock was too much at the time of her death that she decided to leave that memory behind. She was weak then and refused to accept it causing her to stay in this world for so long, if she doesn’t accept it again, then she might as well stay where she is now.”

When Jia Li and the others heard this, they all turned silent. Even if they wanted to save Zhai Chenguang, hiding the truth from her was not the way.

...

Soon the carriage in which Liu Hui Ying was travelling arrived at the imperial palace and just like how she did in the morning, she snuck inside her courtyard. It was a good thing that when she arrived in the courtyard no one was there and she was able to sneak inside her bedroom through the window, however as she sneaked inside the room and walked over to the bathroom where she wanted to take a bath, the door of the bathroom was pulled open and Qui Ai who was looking haggard appeared in front of her.

When the door to the bathroom opened, for two seconds neither Qui Ai nor Liu Hui Ying said anything. Instead, they simply stared at each other and then —

” AHHH, A PERVERT SNEAKED INSIDE HER MAJESTY–GASP”

Qui Ai who was screaming immediately turned silent when Liu Hui Ying covered her mouth and then stopped her from shouting anymore. But she was still a step too late because Nanny Gong who was waiting for Liu Hui Ying to return heard Qui Ai’s scream and immediately picked up the broom on the side of the room where she was standing and then ran inside the room where Qui Ai was.

As soon as she barged inside the room, she saw a man covering Qui Ai’s mouth and stopping her from shouting and she immediately raised the broom in her hand and let out a fierce roar, ” You bastard how dare you to attack someone in the honourable bedroom of the Queen? Shameless brat! This old lady will teach you a lesson today!”
