Detective Ghost Empress

Bang, Bang, Bang. The sound echoed harshly and fast, each hit seems to be personal and Liu Hui Ying who was, on the other hand, being punished bit her lips as she let go of Qui Ai who was scratching her hands and shouted, “It’s me you idiots!” Her voice carried the pain she was feeling at the moment as she cursed the two women in her head, seriously they were hitting her with a broom? And that too so hard.

When her voice echoed in the room both Qui Ai and Nanny Gong paused and then looked left and right before they looked at each other. They seemed to have a very good idea of where the voice came but after what they have done, they were hoping that they were wrong as they turned to look at Liu Hui Ying who was standing in front of them.

” Where did the voice of her majesty come from?” Nanny Gong asked to Qui Ai who pointed to her left where the man was standing next to her and squeaked. ” I think from here.”

As soon as she said this Liu Hui Ying turned to look at Nanny Gong with a blank expression and said, ” You really know how to hit someone nanny, I am sure with your strength you might have broken my back.”

Nanny Gong’s legs turned into jelly as she dropped to her knees and knocked her head on the floor. ” I have committed a grave crime, your majesty. Please kill me!”

Following her Qui Ai too went to kneel next to her and knocked her head on the floor and then shouted loudly, ” I have committed a grave sin, please kill this servant, your majesty. I did not know that it was your majestic hands that I was biting please let this servant ask for forgiveness!”

Liu Hui Ying rolled her eyes as she looked at the two and then walked over to her bed where she sat down and then said, ” What do you mean by this? I thought that you were my loyal servants and yet you couldn’t see that it was me, how is this going to work? If this goes on maybe one day you two will beat me to death.”

” We don’t dare your majesty!” The two women on the floor cried together and they knocked their heads on the floor once again, they truly did not have any idea that the man who snuck inside the room was her majesty but if they did then they would have never done something like this!

.....

Nanny Gong was the one who was feeling the most regretful, she wanted to scold Liu Hui Ying for sneaking outside the house but instead, she was the one who had to ask for forgiveness, if she hadn’t hit Liu Hui Ying with her broom, she would have been able to scold her for sneaking out but now –sob, sob, she wouldn’t be able to scold her fiercely.

Liu Hui Ying knew that Nanny Gong wanted to scold her which was why she was acting stern with the two of them because she knew that if she was to forgive them easily, she will have to listen to the lectures of nanny Gong, something that she was not rather fond of.

” You may rise but let me tell you that I am severely disappointed in you two,” Liu Hui Ying made sure to use her acting skills to the best of her ability, if she wanted to avoid getting scolded then she would have to make sure that Nanny Gong would not be able to scold her at all because of the guilt she was feeling at the moment, and she wasn’t lying when she said her back was almost broken.

Nanny Gong.... She looked like a frail old woman but she had too much strength.

” Your majesty,” Qui Ai raised her head with a sobbing expression on her face, she pouted her lips and spoke in a whiny voice, ” But you look so much like a man that I couldn’t even see a hint of your true face, how can I see that it was you...if you told me that you were going out like this then nothing like this would have happened.”

Liu Hui Ying’s expression twisted as she looked at Nanny Gong whose body stiffened when she heard Qui Ai’s words. She raised her head and from her expression, Liu Hui Ying could see that Nanny Gong was going to scold her or at least she was preparing to throw a diatribe at her which was why Liu Hui Ying immediately glared at Qui Ai fiercely.

For the sake of avoiding getting scolded, she raised her chin arrogantly and then snapped at Qui Ai before Nanny Gong could snap at her. ” What are you talking about? I am the Queen, right? I can go anywhere, anytime...dressed as I want! Even if I was to step outside with my clothes torn up and dancing like a duck, no one should question me. How can you even question your queen? Huh?”

Qui Ai lowered her head while Nanny Gong who was preparing to say a few words to Liu Hui Ying immediately pursed her lips and then decided to stay silent. Even though she wanted to say something to Liu Hui Ying but seeing that Liu Hui Ying was in a bad mood, she thought that it was better for her to stay silent at the moment.

But...she narrowed her eyes at Liu Hui Ying who was trying her best to avoid her gaze. This matter was not over! She was definitely going to scold her missy sooner or later!
