Detective Ghost Empress

218 I wanted to sleep with you

Zhai Tianyu knew that the left prime minister was not a good man and that for him to stay silent was like a dormant volcano waiting to explode. He pursed his lips and was just going to ask his brother to go back when a woman walked past through the door of his study, no it would be right to say that she was not a woman because no woman would be able to walk past doors as she did, it was most certainly a ghost.

And that ghost belonged to none other than Liu Fei Fei.

” What in the …” he trailed off as his actions stopped and he stared at the woman who was now looking at him with a smile on her face. Her shy expression was very similar to the one she used to have when she was alive and he used to visit her in the past, only the difference was now the red was contrasted against complete black and grey smoke instead of her usually pale skin.

” What’s wrong?” Zhai Heng turned to look in the direction in which his brother was looking but he did not see anything. Was there something in the study room for his brother to be startled like this? Zhai Heng questioned himself before he turned to look at his brother and asked, ” What are you looking at your majesty?”

” You can see me, your majesty?”

Both Zhai Heng and Liu Fei Fei spoke at the same time causing Zhai Tianyu’s forehead to throb, he completely forgot that Liu Hui Ying hasn’t taken away his ability to see ghosts and now that he has seen Liu Fei Feo given how stubborn and clingy she was, there was a chance that she would not let him go. It looks like he caught himself in big trouble.

“It’s nothing,” Zhai Tianyu waved his hand as Liu Fei Fei walked towards him and then came to stand beside him with her hands clutched in her front as she gushed, ” Oh your majesty, you have no idea how much I wanted to visit your study when I was alive. I was lurking around the palace and came to see your study after all, I could not come here when I was alive that was why I came to see you but who would have thought that you will be able to see me, now I do not feel as lonely as I was feeling earlier.”

‘ Ah her chatter,—— how can I forget that she was a chatterbox when she was alive?’ Zhai Tianyu was already feeling a headache coming, he was of course sorry for Liu Fei Fei’s tragic death but he still felt that she was a bit too talkative, this was something that didn’t change even when she died. Even when she was alive, she had so much to say that he almost felt his ears bleed whenever he shared an hour or two with her, and the feeling of regret was even sharper than ever. He should have ignored her when he saw her walking through the door and made his way straight to Liu Hui Ying’s palace and should have asked her to tell him what was going on.

” You sure about that?” Zhai Heng asked as he looked at Zhai Tianyu with a concerned expression, his brotherly feelings getting the best of him as he raised his hand and then placed the back of his hand on top of Zhai Tianyu’s forehead. ” Forgive me your majesty but I need to see if you are really all right, you have been working too hard these days.”

.....

Zhai Heng noticed that Zhai Tianyu did not have any fever before he pulled his hand back and then said, ” You don’t seem to have a fever, your majesty. Why is it that you are looking so pale then?”

” I just feel like I have a lot of troubles with no end to them,” replied Zhai Tianyu, he tried to tune out the chatter of Liu Fei Fei but the latter was so enthusiastic to spend her time with him that he did not even stop for a second to take a breath. As soon as this thought came to his head Zhai Tianyu wished he could slap himself for his stupidity, how in the world was this woman supposed to breathe when she was not even alive? Was he losing his head as well?

” You don’t need to worry about prime minister Liu, he will not make any move unless he is sure that he will be able to get away from it.” Zhai Heng knew Liu Dong Ming really well. The two of them worked together many times and he has of course learned a lot about the man, not to the point where he would be able to see the base of the darkness that lurked inside the heart of that man.

” I know,” Zhai Tianyu nodded as he turned to look at Liu Fei Fei who was still smiling at him with her eyes glittering with stars in her eyes. How was he supposed to tell his brother that his worries did not concern that devil-like scheming man but a ghost who was haunting him for no reason at all?

What kind of sin did he even commit to suffer like this?

” Don’t think too much,” Zhai Heng thought that his brother was still worried about Liu Dong Ming. ” Just take a breather and go to sleep, you look really pale.”

With a ghost breathing down his neck? It would be impossible for him to sleep when someone was looking at him like Liu Fei Fei was looking at him like he was some sort of trophy that she won through sheer luck.

” Your majesty, you are going to sleep?” He heard her say with her hands clutching her cheeks as she gushed excitedly with eyes shining with light. ” I really, really wanted to see you sleep, your majesty! Should I lay your bed down? I am perfect at making a bed.” She paused and then stretched out her arms as she curled them around Zhai Tianyu’s neck after hesitating for a while. ” Or maybe I can be your body pillow?”

Zhai Tianyu the eternal bachelor: “…..” if I sleep with such a cold body pillow I will not even wake in the morning.
