Detective Ghost Empress

350 Like a loving husband and wife

” How many times, have I told you?” Nanny Gong pulled Liu Hui Ying off the face and started to massage her stiff limbs that were creaking and croaking because of lying on the cold floor all night. ” You are the queen of this imperial city! What will others think when they see you acting like such? What if the Emperor, his majesty comes in and sees you on the floor, what will he think, your majesty?”

” That the bed he gave me is not comfortable,” replied Liu Hui Ying as she glared at the witch who was dozing on the bed where she was supposed to sleep. All night! All night that witch continued to snore, she had to bring out two cotton balls from her pillow and then stuff them into her ears, only then was she able to get three hours of sleep.

” Your majesty! The bed you have is just fine!” Nanny Gong looked scandalised when she heard Liu Hui Ying’s words, the bed was given to her by the Emperor and he was the one who sent it to her courtyard before their marriage and yet the Queen was saying that the gift she received from the king was not comfortable?

” So why don’t he come and sleep in it? Isn’t it because he knows that it causes stiff back?” Liu Hui Ying could not tell them that the bed was now possessed by a ghost which was why she continued to insist as she said, ” He is fully aware that the bed is uncomfortable, which is why he stays in his courtyard and sleeps there and never comes here! I don’t know! Bring me another bed! One that is more comfortable than this one!”

Nanny Gong looked at the queen who was acting like a spoiled brat and felt her lips twitch. The reason the king never came to sleep in this courtyard was that he knew that he will be kicked down by the queen who was allergic to men for some reason.

” Your majesty, this bed cannot be removed——” Nanny Gong began but she was interrupted by Liu Hui Ying who said, ” Who is asking you to change the bed? I am asking you to bring a new one and stuff it in here, you can leave this one where it is.”

Take this bed away? Wouldn’t it mean that the witch will then possess the new bed that she brings into the new room?

” But his majesty——”

” He will not say a word!” Liu Hui Ying snapped as she looked at Nanny Gong who was standing behind her, she turned on her feet and then caught Nanny Gong by her arms and then said with a desperate voice, ” Nanny who am I?”

.....

” You are her majesty the queen,” replied Nanny Gong with a stunned look on her face, to which Liu Hui Ying raised her brows and nodded with a smile. ” That is right, I am the Queen! Which means my words are final. My order is your command and I want a new bed—— so bring me one, all right?”

Nanny Gong looked at the Queen who was looking at her with desperate eyes that said that she will die if she did not get this new bed and sighed before she nodded in agreement as she said, ” Fine, we will get you a new bed but——”

Liu Hui Ying already had her hands raised in the air to celebrate her new bed but then she stopped when she heard Nanny Gong say ‘but’, she narrowed her eyes with her smile dropping as she looked at Nanny Gong and asked, ” What do you mean by this but?”

” By this but I mean,” Nanny Gong smiled in a manner that told Liu Hui Ying trouble was coming and she immediately took a step back while looking at the woman.

” Why do I feel like you are planning something really evil, Nanny,” she remarked looking at the Elderly woman with suspicion in her eyes.

” Hoho, I am not planning anything evil,” said Nanny Gong as she looked at Liu Hui Ying while bringing her hand over her mouth to laugh lightly as her eyes crinkled slightly. She looked like the devil who has finally gotten a hold of his prey. ” I am simply asking you to do your job, as you already know today is the day of the hunt. I want you to wear your inner garments without any fuss and if you take off your bra this time before leaving like you did the last time, then it will be considered as what you consider a foul.”

She then paused and went ahead with her weird conditions which made Liu Hui Ying’s mouth drop, ” Next, I want you to act as a benevolent queen such that no one even the Imperial concubine Ji will not be able to outshine you. You will wear your crown and you will give a speech to everyone at the start and end of the hunt, in short, I want you to do our responsibilities as the Queen —-‘properly’ as long as you do them well and get praised by all for being a kind queen, I will bring you a new bed.”

” And what if I don’t?” asked Liu Hui Ying as she looked at the demon Nanny who was smiling at her as if she was enjoying her suffering and that too very much.

” Then I believe you will have to make do with this bed, your Majesty,” replied Nanny Gong and Liu Hui Ying was so speechless that she wished, she could go on a strike.

Did she offend the god of the elderly women or what? Why were all the old women making life difficult for her?

” Well?” Nanny Gong asked as she looked at Liu Hui Ying waiting for her to say something.

Liu Hui Ying who saw no other choice in front of her looked at Nanny Gong with a despair-filled face and sobbed with her eyes closed as she spread her arms wide and screamed, ” Come assault me as you want! Goodness, what kind of queen I am?”

As she screamed Nanny Gong who was used to her melodramatic tantrums was already pushing her inside the bathing room.
