Detective Ghost Empress

182 Watch yourself

” My Queen, you are here?” Zhai Tianyu turned to look at Liu Hui Ying who has arrived to stand next to him, behind her were Li Gang and Grandma Lan Fen who seemed to be excited over the fact that they were finally getting a chance to get into action.

Liu Hui Ying hummed as she came to a stop in front of Zhai Tianyu who was looking at her in an aggrieved manner, she raised a brow at him when she noticed that he was looking at her like she might have done something wrong to him. ” Why are you looking at me like that?”

Her question only caused Zhai Tianyu to choke as he looked at her with a pointed look on his face. ” Do you really think that you have done nothing wrong? You sent a perverted ghost after me, and I could not even take a bath!” Never did he has ever suffered like this before, a woman was watching every single second of his day without giving him a chance to breathe, even when he was eating Jia Li looked at him and kept on commenting things like —

‘ What a great posture.’

‘Such a long tongue, no wonder you have so many women all charmed up.’

‘What a pretty mouth, I bet those women who kissed you were the luckiest.’

The comments became more and more vulgar with each word which was spoken by Jia Li, causing Zhai Tianyu to feel like he was being teased by a hooligan. While he was being teased by Jia Li, he came up with at least ten ways to improve the safety of women in his country and he swore that he was going to implement every law by this evening.

” Aww, did you feel bad?” Liu Hui Ying snickered as she looked at the man who was looking at her with a wronged expression on his face. Her voice seemed to be mocking him as she cooed at him before she turned to look at the carriage that was standing in front of the palace gates of the Emperor. ” Did you think how uncomfortable I felt when you sent a woman to guard me, your majesty?” She glanced at him sideways and sneered. ” I hate being watched, if you want to stop Jia Li from following you then call your guard back and then we will talk.”

She was not lying when she said that she hated being watched, the scars of the past were not that easy to forget. After being blamed for killing or hurting someone when she hasn’t done it, she hated being watched the most– Zhai Tianyu was lucky that he was the Emperor of this place or else she would have sent Li Gang and taught him a good lesson.

.....

Sending Jia Li was her being nice and giving him a chance to change his decision and nothing else.

” My queen, you seem to be misunderstanding something,” Zhai Tianyu sighed as he shook his head slowly. ” I did not send An Qian to keep an eye on you, I sent her because I want to make sure that you will not be harmed by anyone. As the Queen of this place, I believe that you will face a number of dangers in the future.”

” I believe that I am in most danger when it comes to you,” Liu Hui Ying scoffed as she looked at Zhai Tianyu with an impatient glint in her eyes. ” I was not asking you when I said that I hate being watched or kept track of my actions like a criminal, ask her back and I will leave her alone and if you don’t then you might not know what I might do, your majesty.”

She finished in a soft voice but the threat in her voice rang louder than the gong that was being beaten telling the passing of another hour.

Zhai Tianyu looked at Liu Hui Ying who was looking at him with a confident expression on her face but at the same time he could see the fear and discomfort hiding in the bottom of those dark pupils, she was not lying when she said that she was uncomfortable with the idea of being watched by someone.

He wanted to ask her why she hated something so simple as this but then he stopped himself, something told him that even if he was to ask her she will not tell him the truth. This was why he heaved a breath and then took a step back, “I will agree to what you are asking me to do, I will not send anyone to guard you but can you do a small thing for me in return?”

Liu Hui Ying frowned slightly at his question and he knew that what he was going to ask her was even weirder than this question but he still silently waited for her answer.

It took a while as the chilly winds of the evening fluttered her long hair while the setting sun lit up her side profile causing a sort of golden glow on her pale skin. ” What is it?” She asked with a slight tilt of her head, her eyes locked on his.

He swallowed feeling as awkward as any man could while saying these words to a woman whom he once wanted to see dead. ” My Queen, if you were to ever leave this place, can you at least let me know that? I ...I would like to say goodbye if that were to happen.”

His nerves went taut while he waited for her response, she did not answer him at once instead she waited for a long time before she burst out laughing. Her tinkling laugh echoed in the silent surrounding, this was his first time watching the Queen laugh and he has to admit that the Queen’s laugh was really nice– it was at least much better than the laugh of his Concubines who were too scared to even raise their voice while laughing.

Liu Hui Ying laughed for quite sometime before her laughter slowly died down and she looked at him with a shadow of her laughter in her eyes before she looked at him and said with a mocking smile, ” Watch yourself, your majesty. Or else I will start thinking that you fell in love with me or something, we don’t want your precious getting jealous now do we?”
