Detective Ghost Empress

142 Warning

“However, your majesty, how will you look into the case?” Zhai Heng asked after his grandmother signed the scroll after reading what was written on it, it was one thing that the queen had the powers to take care of the matter but her gender was another thing, she was a woman and no woman who was married to the Emperor was allowed to get out of the harem. ” You are the queen, for you to step out of the harem. It will cause a lot of fiasco for everyone, I am sure.”

The women of the harem were not allowed to leave the palace and if the Queen who was the ruler of the Harem, if she was to leave the harem then the people will surely talk, especially the Liu family and if they were to tell the powers of the Queen to others then the Liu family might use the powers of the Queen against the imperial family.

” You do not need to worry about that,” Liu Hui Ying picked up the scroll that was on the table and calmly replied, ” I have already taken the job, haven’t I? I will certainly do it with a finesse that you need not worry about anything. I will get on the work tomorrow morning, so when you hear that someone is looking for you no matter what the name, other than that you don’t need to think about anything else.”

After she finished speaking she looked at the three people in front of her while politely smiling at them as she added in a sweet voice, ” Now we are clear, aren’t we? I think that you all have very scarce time to spare me, given that neither of you had the time to call a...ah doctor for me after finding out that I was poisoned.”

Grand Dowager Empress understood that Liu Hui Ying was kicking them out and was slightly upset but seeing how she was the only one who could help her daughter’s soul, she did not speak much but she did softly remark, ” You do not seem to be a forgetful woman, dear queen.”

” Of course, I am not,” Liu Hui Ying stood up from her seat when she saw that the Grand Dowager Empress stood up from her seat and smiled at her but her smile did not reach her eyes. ” I am not someone who would forgive and forget, if someone wrongs me then they will have to suffer a hundred times fold, you are fortunate your majesty, that you are my family or else I would have refused you outright. It’s just that you are my close family which is why I accepted this case. Maybe to you poisoning someone to death is a small matter but you don’t need to think when you are not the one who suffered the pain of dying.”

Grand Dowager Empress: “....” What about the money that you snatched from me?

But there was nothing that the Grand Dowager Empress could say at the moment, the money was already gone and according to what was written on the scroll, she did not have to worry about Liu Hui Ying going back on her words, she has given her a copy that said that if the case was not solved she was free to take the money back.

” Very well, then we will be waiting for the results then,” Grand Dowager Empress did not want to spend another second in the presence of this woman who did not have the slightest bit of patience, a woman was supposed to be generous and kind. With a heart that was magnanimous and yet here, they were, dealing with a woman whose heart was as small as the tip of a needle.

.....

That incident of poisoning her has happened so many days ago but yet the woman was still harping on the matter not letting it go, her niece Ji Yu was so much better than her, she was the one who was asked to leave the room and yet she did it without saying a word of objection.

Unlike this woman who wants compensation for the smallest thing.

” I will be sure to deliver the results then,” Liu Hui Ying did not miss the contempt in the eyes of the Grand Dowager Empress. She however did not care about the Grand dowager empress’s hate or feelings towards her after all she was not someone who lived to please someone.

Grand Dowager Empress gave Liu Hui Ying a nod before she turned to walk out of the room, once she left the room, Zhai Heng too bowed in front of Liu Hui Ying and walked out of the room taking his leave and then the only one who was left behind was the Emperor who did not seem to have any intention of leaving.

” Do you mind?” Liu Hui Ying asked as she tipped her chin at the door as she looked at the man who was standing in front of her, she did not like staying in the same space as this man who was the cause of her current predicament, if he has been kinder than she wouldn’t be dealing with such an annoying old hag.

Just look at the way the woman was looking at her, she was the one who came asking for help but yet she dared to disdain her.

Zhai Tianyu glanced at the door before turning his head back to Liu Hui Ying as he blinked his eyes and then looked at her with a slightly calm expression on his face, he pretended as if he did not listen to what Liu Hui Ying just said, instead he looked at her and spoke in response, “I was going to leave but then I thought of something and then stopped.”

” And what might that be?” asked Liu Hui Ying as she looked at him with a frown.

” A warning,” he solemnly answered her. ” Do not trust anyone in the palace and let them know what you can do but in case they find out then you will be in a lot of trouble my queen, so make sure that you control your strengths.” Only then did he turn around and leave.
