Detective Ghost Empress

201 You are drunk

” You don’t seem to be proud of being born as the emperor,” Liu Hui Ying commented as she noticed the derision that Zhai Tianyu had for his title as the Emperor of this imperial city.

” I am not,” Zhai Tianyu honestly told her with a calm expression on his face as if he was not saying something outrageous, for the Emperor to say that he was not proud of his title was a crime but he was fortunate that he said something like this in front of Liu Hui Ying who did not care about anything that he said nor did she has any intentions of using his words against him.

This was the only reason why Zhai Tianyu could say something like this in front of her after all if he had told this to Zhai Heng and Yu Lingyun then they would have definitely asked him to watch his words and even Ji Yu would have tried to have him change his mind, telling him that he should be proud of the fact that he was born with the powers of changing the fate of this country.

He waited for Liu Hui Ying to say something similar to them because from what he has seen she seemed to be in love with the idea of making money, most probably she would love the idea of being at the top of the power.

” Hmm, I would have hated to be the Emperor as well,” Liu Hui Ying to his surprise said something completely different than what she has expected her to which was why he looked at her in surprise. She might have noticed his surprise because she turned to look at him with a questioning expression as she said, ” What?”

” I thought you would love to be the Emperor because you like money,” he told her and no sooner did he say that Liu Hui Ying who had her head lying on the table laughed out loud. She pushed herself off the table and she laughed at his words before taking a breath as she stretched her hand and picked up the jar that was in front of her. ” I do love the idea of making money but more than making money I adore my freedom. I do not like the idea of being bound to a chair that has more respect than I do.”

She took a sip of her wine and trembled in delight and surprise as the wine’s fruity and savoury taste exploded in her mouth. ” You might think that I would accept anything that is thrown at me just because I was handed the money but more than money, I care about my life and the freedom that I enjoy. I won’t take any case that will put my life in danger and nor will I give up my freedom for the sake of money. I like the life that I lived, why do you think that I want to go back to my world? I am tired of the ties and bounds of this world.”

Zhai Tianyu’s fingers gripped the cup that he was holding in them a bit more tightly than he would have usually when he heard her say that she still wanted to go back to her world.

” I see,” he nodded before he looked at Liu Hui Ying, he wanted to tell her that he could give her all the freedom that she wanted and she wouldn’t have to leave but there was no point in doing so because he knew that he could not give her the freedom that she wanted in fact even he did not have the freedom to do anything that he wanted from waking up to sleeping in his bed he has to take proper care of everything that he did in his entire day because everyone in the palace was watchful of what he did or what he was doing.

.....

The two of them stopped speaking Liu Hui Ying continued to drink the wine like she was drinking water while Zhai Tianyu took proper care of how much alcohol was going down his throat. He wanted to tell Liu Hui Ying to take a look at her own intake as well but when he turned to look at her, he realised that she already had a flush of red on her cheeks and her eyes were slightly dazed.

Zhai Tianyu looked at her with a slightly helpless expression on his face as he said, ” If you keep drinking like this I am worried that you will pass out my Queen .”

” You don’t need to worry,” Liu Hui Ying slurred with a smile on her face. ” I am a very heavy drinker something as small as this wouldn’t be able to get me drunk.”

” You are slurring my queen,” he told her patiently as he set the cup in front of him as he looked at the woman who was slowly on the verge of passing out. If he knew that she was this bad when it came to alcohol, he would not have asked her to drink with him, it was all because she was too wild that he thought that she would be fine with alcohol and that she will know how much alcohol she could take inside her body.

But he expected way too much from this woman who did not have any sense of danger.

” My queen, I think you are too drunk.” He tried to take the jar away from Liu Hui Ying but the latter hugged it and then glared at him as she twisted on her side, ” Why? You bad man do you think I cannot drink because I am a woman?”

Zhai Tianyu was feeling helpless, he has never seen a woman who drank wine like water and that too when she could not hold it, he looked at Liu Hui who was hugging the wine jar and then said in slight exasperation, ” I am telling you to stop is because I know that you are too drunk and not because you are a woman, you are slurring and you can’t even sit straight.”

” I am not drunk!”

” You are drunk my queen!”

” I am not.”

” You are.”

” I am not drunk!”

” MY QUEEN.”
