235 Let us investigate the case and dethrone the Empress

” What did you say?” Ji Yang thought that Liu Dong Ming has lost his mind, who in their right mind would even say that they have killed someone? They will definitely try to keep the matter as hushed up as possible but he was asking whether the Queen said that she killed Liu Fei Fei. Was he looking down on him or was he looking down on his niece?

Liu Dong Ming knew that Ji Yang was underestimating him and was even looking at him with contempt what this man forgot that he was someone who has always been a step ahead of him which was why he calmly looked at Ji Yang and said in a soft voice yet powerful voice, ” I said that whether or not the Empress agreed to kill my daughter? Because as you know already if the Liu family was behind a matter they will never hypocritically hide their presence and pretended to be innocent. If the rumours say that the Queen is behind it, surely she would have said something about it?”

His words were completely nonsensical but to Ji Yang, they were like a slap on his face, he was not a fool, he could see that Liu Dong Ming was actually condemning him and his family and was calling them hypocrites. His eyes flickered as he glared at Liu Dong Ming hatefully but he still did not say anything and just kept smiling but his hands were already clenched in fists on his sides as he looked at Liu Dong Ming.

The matter that happened three years ago was still fresh in the minds of Liu and the Ji family, it was just that the Ji family were proud of what happened back then while the Liu were full of anger and vengeance.

Seeing that there was no point in talking with Liu Dong Ming, Ji Yang turned to look at Zhai Tianyu who was watching the facade that was happening in front of him like he was nothing but an idiot, seeing him act like this Ji Yang was a bit upset. Clearly, he was giving Zhai Tianyu a good chance to take the Empress down but this man for some reason was not taking the bait that he was handed to him, slightly angry with Zhai Tianyu, Ji Yang once again opened his mouth and said, ” Your majesty what is your take on this? Don’t you think that we should get consort Liu’s death investigated ?”

It was all right, he already knew that Zhai Tianyu was not as smart as his father. There was no need for him to worry, this man was a puppet in the hands of his ministers anyway, as long as he hands him the bait, the man will take it.

Zhai Tianyu too knew that his grand-uncle was handing him bait and was waiting for him to take it, but this time he did not want to take it. He knew that this was the perfect time to take the Empress down but —— if he was to take her down then what will happen to the two of them?

He remembered the indifference and arrogance of the Queen from last night and suddenly felt a bit choked up, she was like this when he hasn’t even made a move against her for a very long time. If he was to remove her from the throne then the Queen might never even look him in the face for the rest of her life.

She might not care about the throne but that did not mean that she was going to forgive him and let him do what he wanted either. She will be nonchalant and careless about his matters along with his sincerity.

.....

Was he prepared to face a Queen like this? Zhai Tianyu questioned himself for the first time and realised that he was indeed not prepared to see a queen like that, in fact, he still felt a bit choked up remembering the calm and stoic look on the face of the queen from last night.

He swallowed and then nodded before saying, ” You are right, we should indeed let someone investigate the death of consort Liu.”

As soon as he said this the Ji family were more than happy but the Liu family member’s faces all turned into a grimace as they looked at the Emperor, even Liu Dong Ming clenched his fingers but at the same time his lips curled in a mocking sneer.

In the end, Blood does not lie.

” Then why don’t you allow me to investigate the death of consort Liu, your majesty?” Ji Mo who was Ji Yu’s elder brother stepped forward and looked at Zhai Tianyu. He was the head of the investigation department and shared his powers with Liu Hui Ying’s third uncle, though young, he was skilled and was just as wise as his father. ” I will make sure that the truth comes to light.”

As he spoke he heavily looked at Liu Dong Ming who was still looking at the people of the Ji family with a blank expression with no sign of agitation at all. It was as if what the Ji family members were saying had no connection to him, he was still as detached as ever, and seeing him like this Ji Mo was very much angered.

Pretend! Keep on pretending, we all know that you are more than affected by this! Ji Mo thought savagely in his head while he looked at the blank face of Liu Dong Ming, does this man thinks that he will be able to make a comeback now?

Not even in the million years would they be able to tackle this case, after all his father has taken quite a lot of measures to make sure that this time the Queen was dragged down from her throne.

As long as the case falls in his hands he will surely make sure that the Queen and her family lose everything! How dare they try to kill his brother!

Ji Mo was certain that he was going to make the Ji family suffer but then he heard the Emperor say, ” Actually, I have already asked someone to investigate this case.”
