Detective Ghost Empress

When she did not turn to look at him, she heard the man say, ” I can do better than this.”

” Sure, your esteemed Majesty.” She was not going to coddle his fragile male ego that was on the verge of snapping at the moment because right now she did not have the patience. She came here to see some dashing action—— the Emperor riding the horse that was handed to him and then hunting a deer from the forest.

This was …this was a stain on the name of the hunt!

Give her back her entire morning! And take away the pain that was reverberating in her neck because of carrying this crown that was heavier than the sins of that Ji guy on her head!

She suffered so much because of this? Liu Hui Ying’s eyes flickered around as she looked at the crowd, her eyes searching for the woman who told her that she needed to look her best for the valiant show of bravery by the Emperor. If this was the show that the old woman was talking about then Liu Hui Ying was sure that she would have looked just fine —— no excellent if she was to drape a rucksack on her body!

However, no matter how much she looked for Nanny Gong she could not find her which annoyed Liu Hui Ying greatly. What the latter did not know was that at the moment, Nanny Gong was hiding behind the backs of the people who were standing in front of her. She was not the one who was at fault here either, when she was roaming around in the streets, she had often heard the brave tales of the Emperor about how he could hunt even bears with one arrow. Who would have thought that all those tales were nothing but lie?

She was just as disappointed as the Queen!

” Your majesty,” Liu Hui Ying heard Ji Yang call her, she turned to look at the man and was not surprised when she saw him smile at her as if he and she were long-time best friends. ” Please come forward and say a few words, to give your blessings.”

.....

Liu Hui Ying nodded as she strode in front of the stage and then looked at the crowd that was staring at her. She opened her mouth while the crowd waited for her in anticipation with their eyes focused on the Empress but then they heard the Empress say in a solemn voice,

” I give my blessings to this land with the hope that no one will sleep in cold and with an empty stomach. The end.”

After she was done speaking she turned around to walk back and stand next to Zhai Tianyu who covered his face slightly with the bangs of his hair.

” You could have said a few more words, my queen,” said Zhai Tianyu to which Liu Hui Ying smiled and said, ” Perform a bit better the next time, your majesty and we will see.”

Zhai Tianyu wanted to tell her that he was just pretending to be useless and was not really useless but then he heard Liu Hui Ying say about the next time and paused, not saying the words that were up in his throat. He turned to look at Liu Hui Ying who was standing beside him, her eyes staring in the front as her hair which was tied loosely in a bun flickered behind her with the wind. The tassels of her crown moved back and front as the wind fluttered past them.

It seemed like the Queen, herself did not know that she was now talking about the future with him without even thinking about going back to her world.

A smile etched on his lips as he turned to look at the front but what he did not notice was that his soft smile was caught by Ji Yu who was sitting beside the Grand Dowager Empress and unfortunately for her, her grandaunt also caught the smile that was fluttering on the lips of the Emperor.

” Ouch,” Ji Yu winced when she felt someone pinch her arm, she turned to look at her grandaunt who was glaring at her and heard the old woman say, ” Useless thing! I even arranged everything this morning to make sure that you will be able to get the Emperor on your side and create a rift between the Emperor and the Empress but look at you, why does it seem like the Emperor is now even more obsessed with the Empress? What did you do?”

” I did not do anything, your majesty,” Ji Yu felt aggrieved as she rubbed her reddened skin which had been pinched by her grandaunt and then said with a soft voice, ” His majesty is just smitten with the Queen what am I supposed to do? He does not even listen to me——”

” Hah, you should be ashamed of saying such things,” The Grand Dowager Empress glared at Ji Yu this time she turned her face to look at Ji Yu such that the latter will be able to bear the full burn of her glare. ” You were with his majesty for years! Ever since he was a child and now you are saying that a woman who only came into the life of his majesty just a few days ago can snatch your position? Are you really that worthless, Ji Yu? If so then I guess bringing your cousin is not a stupid decision on part of your father!”
