Detective Ghost Empress

251 Another murder

“It’s happening, it’s happening,” Jia Li who was hiding behind a thick tree and peeping on Liu Hui Ying and Zhai Heng who were being served by Nanny Gong and Qui Ai excitedly whispered to Li Gang and Grandma Lan Fen. ” I thought that this guy was just like an idiot straight guy like the Emperor who does not even understand his own feelings but look at him go, he is much smarter than the Emperor! I am shocked by this development! Is this going to be the so-called enemies-to-lovers troupe?”

She was so excited that stars seemed to be shining brightly in her eyes as she looked at the two people who were sitting in the pavilion.

” And I am shocked by your lack of loyalty,” Li Gang stated while staring at Jia Li who was watching the scene in front of her with extreme excitement. ” You do understand that what you are doing is called cheating? You saw the poor man naked and now you are stabbing that man in the back, I did not know that you were such a scum.”

” First of all, I did not see anything worth seeing, of course, if I saw that man’s saber light than I would have felt guilty a little bit but since nothing happened between us and I only saw a little bit of skin, then I don’t feel guilty at all!”

” You do know that you sound like those hateful playboys?”

” Ohh, look at that the young man is blushing!” While Li Gang and Jia Li were busy squabbling Zhai Heng who was sitting in the pavilion turned red all of a sudden causing Jia Li’s face to sullen as she kicked Li Gang in the shin as she glared at him and said, ” Look at that you made me miss such an important development in their relationship. You idiot!”

” I am an idiot?” Li Gang was speechless when he heard Jia Li call him an idiot, this has to be a joke right? There was no way he was the one who was acting like an idiot here!

Jia Li did not respond to him instead she focused all her attention on Zhai Heng and Liu Hui Ying who was sitting in the pavilion, she has to see why the man was blushing, was Liu Hui Ying finally willing to understand the feelings of the other gender? Was her baby sister kind of boss finally growing up? If so then she was going to dump the Emperor in a heartbeat and start supporting Zhai Heng.

Though he was a bit rough, women liked buff men more!

.....

If only Jia Li knew that Zhai Heng was blushing because he caught a glimpse of Liu Hui Ying’s arm when he was just sitting alone in the pavilion with Liu Hui Ying on a dark night, she would have been disappointed greatly.

” This is really good, why is it that the chief has never cooked something like this before?” Liu Hui Ying who did not know that her life has suddenly become love drama in the eyes of her ghosts was eating the juicy yet not-so-greasy venison that was served in front of her.

Even though she was not a fan of Ji Yu, she has to admit that the cooking skills of that woman were really good.

“The Ji family owns a hunting ground which is why they can hunt a deer or two every now and then,” Zhai Heng cleared his throat and replied, he tried his very best not to look at Liu Hui Ying’s jade-like arms that were on display. Why did the queen have to roll her sleeves up like this? He questioned as he looked away, his face burning with embarrassment.

But even though he looked away, his eyes would once in a while stray right back and he would catch glimpse of the fair porcelain skin and his face would start burning even more.” They send the game to Ji Yu once in a while,” he finished speaking after a lot of difficulties.

” Does the Liu family not own a hunting ground?” Liu Hui Ying muttered as she looked at the juicy venison and clicked her tongue, maybe that uncle of this woman thought that hunting was a boorish sport and did not make a hunting ground.

What a waste of money! They should have owned a hunting ground with all the money they earned from their corrupt activities!

” That——” Zhai Heng began speaking but he was interrupted by a shrill scream that came from the south causing him to jump up in alert as he took his sword out of the sheathe and then said to Liu Hui Ying. ” You stay here your majesty, do not chase after me!” After speaking he rushed in the direction from where the scream came just now.

But there was no way Liu Hui Ying would not chase after Zhai Heng, she finished taking the last bite of the venison that was in front of her and then rushed right after him. Tonight they were out on an investigation and someone screaming like this was nothing but a sign of ill intentions!

Liu Hui Ying rushed after Zhai Heng and so did the three ghosts, Nanny Gong and Qui Ai wanted to chase after her as well but Liu Hui Ying stopped them and asked the two women to stay behind and protect her venison. Even though she was going to investigate something there was no way she was going to leave the precious venison behind alone!

Nanny Gong who was asked to stay back, on the other hand, did not know that Liu Hui Ying was asking her to stay behind because she wanted her to guard the venison, instead, her heart was brimming with maternal love thinking that Liu Hui Ying was worried about her and Qui Ai!

Maybe she should stop being hard on her missy.

Oh, what was a lovely misunderstanding!

Liu Hui Ying who chased after Zhai Heng did not know that she left such an impact on Nanny Gong, she just continued to run after Zhai Heng and only stopped when the latter stopped coming to a halt in front of a delicate yet very expensive-looking courtyard where another woman whose clothes were dripping wet was lying next to the small lake that was at the right half of the courtyard.

Her eyes were wide with horror and even though she was not breathing, she was telling her story quite clearly to everyone in the vicinity.
