Detective Ghost Empress

281 Confession

” What you cannot do it?” Seeing that neither of them moved, Liu Hui Ying arched a brow and rolled her sleeves while covering her hands with handkerchiefs. ” Since you don’t want to do it, I will do it myself.”

” There is no need for you to do something like this, you…Lord Chi,” Zhai Heng stopped Liu Hui Ying from pouncing on Ji Meng and stripping him down. Letting the queen strip a man down? Even if her marriage with Zhai Tianyu cannot be counted as a normal one, Zhai Heng was sure that his brother will suffer from sleepless nights if he was to find out that his wife did something like this.

So even though Zhai Heng felt rather wronged and uncomfortable he turned to look at Ji Meng who was already taking several steps back, behind him was Yu Lingyun who did not want to get involved but his brother was doing it so how could he not join hands with him?

Ji Mo watched the scene in front of him, he felt like he was watching a dream, how was it possible for the vice commander and the general to do something like this? But in front of his eyes, they really stretched their hands and started tugging Ji Meng’s clothes.

” What are you——” it was only when the outer clothing that Ji Meng was wearing was removed did Ji Mo snapped out of his daze and rushed ahead to save Ji Meng but he was a step too late. The outer clothing that Ji Meng was wearing was removed and as soon as the outer robe was removed, a broken hairpin that was tied with the help of a red string around his neck came into view.

Zhai Heng’s sharp eyes immediately caught the broken hairpin and he stopped tugging at Ji Meng’s clothing as he turned to look at Liu Hui Ying who walked forward and then placed the other half of the broken hairpin that she found that night in front of the one that Ji Meng was wearing and asked as she raised her gaze and looked at him, ” Now what do you have to say, Lord Ji?”

Ji Meng stared at the broken hairpin that Liu Hui Ying was holding in her hands and stopped moving, everyone else thought that he was giving up his struggle but who would have thought that as soon as Yu Lingyun would ease his hold on him little Ji Mo, would push the latter away and run!

” Catch him!” Zhai Heng knew how important Ji Meng was in this case and immediately ordered the people of the crime investigation department to catch Ji Meng but everyone was from the Ji family and they knew the truth behind these deaths. They all knew that Ji Meng was the scapegoat prepared by the right prime minister who was supposed to take the Queen down and now that he was found out, they could not let him be caught!

Thus no one moved and caused Ji Meng to run out of the building, Zhai Heng looked at the people of the crime investigation department acting like they could not catch Ji Meng when they clearly could!

.....

He looked at the officials whom he has once trusted very much and closed his eyes as he started to think about everything over again, maybe he needed to reorganize everything that he knew and think carefully about whether the loyalty of the past can still be trusted in the present.

With that in his head, he chased after Ji Meng but he did not even reach the front entrance when he saw Ji Meng walking backwards with the tip of the sword being aimed at his throat.

” I was wondering what was going on with all the noise that you all were making, I am glad that I came to see,” Zhai Tianyu smilingly looked at Ji Meng who was staring at his sword and then turned to look at Ji Mo and the others who dropped to their knees when they saw him coming inside.

‘ Fck! The Emperor actually came! What were they going to do now?’ Ji Mo’s eyes went wide as he looked at his hands that were clenched on the floor while trying to think of a way to solve the crisis that was in front of him.

” Your majesty, you are here?” Ji Mo wanted to say something to Zhai Tianyu, and he knew that the latter will listen to him but before he could say anything Liu Hui Ying walked forward and kicked Ji Meng on the back of his legs such that he kneeled on the floor too.

” You made me run after you so much and now you dare to run again in front of me? Do you take me as dead or what?” She glared at the man who was now on his knees while smiling at the Emperor before she said, ” Thank you for catching him your majesty, I was worried that I will have to chase after him again.”

She was actually treating the Emperor like a guard!

After she finished thanking Zhai Tianyu, she turned to look at Ji Meng and said, ” Are you going to confess why you killed consort Liu, or should I confess it for you ?”

Ji Meng knew that he wouldn’t be able to get away this time and lowered his head as he replied, ” Because she killed Xiao Bai.”

Ji Meng was the son of a maid who once worked for the Ji family and after a very long fight, his mother and he were accepted by the Ji family. But before bringing him to the Ji family, his mother worked in another family and this family was none other than the family from which Liu Fei Fei was adopted, it was during this time that he fell for another maid’s daughter and even though he was accepted by the Ji family and later almost betrothed to Liu Fei Fei, he did not forget the maid whom he fell in love with.

He wanted to bring the maid as his concubine to his family but Liu Fei Fei found out about him being close to that maid and she killed the maid he loved by drowning her after tying that maid with stones!

As he spoke of his past, he bit his lips and hatefully glared at Liu Hui Ying, ” And so I killed her just like she killed Xiao Bai!”
