Detective Ghost Empress

165 An Emperor who became bent over a night

” You cannot dance like a duck with torn clothes, your majesty.” Qui Ai said with a sad expression on her face, she was not in the wrong but she was still scolded by her missy.

Seeing that Qui Ai was getting upset because of getting scolded Liu Hui Ying decided that it was time for her to change the topic. She drew in a breath and then asked with a suggestive smile, ” I look really handsome don’t I ?”

Qui Ai still looked rather upset but when she heard Liu Hui Ying ask this question she raised her head with a shy and angry expression on her face and said, ” You look just as handsome as the Emperor, your majesty.”

” I do, don’t I ?” Liu Hui Ying smirked as she pushed her bangs to the side and winked at Qui Ai whose entire face turned red as she snorted and complained, ” You are such a flirt, your majesty.”

” And a rather naughty brat as well,” Nanny Gong who was waiting for her chance chimed in as she looked at Liu Hui Ying who was teasing Qui Ai. ” You snuck from the courtyard and went to who knows where your majesty...if his majesty finds out then you will be in a lot of trouble.”

” I was with his majesty, if he scolds me then I will simply tell him off for wasting my time as well,” Liu Hui Ying did not think much given that she has never been interested in a relationship between a man and woman but Nanny Gong who has seen a lot of things in her life was stunned, she looked at the clothes that Liu Hui Ying was wearing and then remembered about how there were rumours of the Emperor being interested in the same gender but because he was the ruler of the country he had to hide his skeletons in the wardrobe.

Does this mean, his majesty was calling her majesty dressed up like this because he wanted to do that with her?

” Goodness,” Nanny Gong covered her mouth as she moaned and shook her head, her actions caused both Liu Hui Ying and Qui Ai to frown as they looked at Nanny Gong who was acting like she seemed to have caught hold of some sort of secret.

The two of them looked at each other but they both saw the helplessness and confusion in their eyes so they once again turned to look at the Nanny Gong who was now looking at Liu Hui Ying with a pair of shiny eyes. ” Your majesty, I knew you would be able to win the favour of his majesty.”

.....

” What–” Liu Hui Ying was feeling confused with what Nanny Gong said but before she could say much less ask something from Nanny Gong, the latter jumped on her feet and then clasped hold of her hands and exclaimed in pure delight, ” Who cares that you are getting the admiration of the Emperor because of dressing like a man, as long as you can get an heir of the throne in your belly, I am sure no one will say a thing.”

Liu Hui Ying did not understand what Nanny Gang was saying but when she said those things Liu Hui Ying understood what she was trying to say and when she realised the implications and her face twisted in shock and disgust, was Nanny Gong for real?

What does she need to do to get Nanny Gong to stop mentioning the bedroom matters in front of her, there was no way she was going to let that man get her pregnant!

” That’s not–” Liu Hui Ying began but when she saw Nanny Gong’s eyes that were shining with little stars, she did not have the courage to say the truth and the truth was something she did not want to say what she did this morning after all if she was to tell Nanny Gong that she was performing autopsy this morning, the old woman might die of fright.

So she decided that instead of going through all the fuss and screams, she decided to go along with Nanny Gong and it wasn’t like her reputation was going to be ruined. It was the Emperor, so why should she pick up unnecessary trouble?

” That’s right,” she agreed with Nanny Gong as she nodded with her face twisted into an awkward expression. “It’s just as you said.”

Nanny Gong’s eyes filled with even more stars and she straightened up with her hands excitedly clapping as she said, ” You have worked really hard your majesty... I will go to the kitchen to prepare something nutritious for you! Who knows maybe you might already be carrying the child of his majesty!”

As she excitedly spoke, she did not even listen to what Liu Hui Ying was saying and then rushed outside the room leaving Liu Hui Ying to cover her face with a tired look on her face.

” This has to be the worse thing happening to me,” in the modern world she would have at least said whatever she wanted and cursed how she liked but now she was hiding the fact that she was looking into a case.

With a sigh, she dropped her hands that were covering her face but when she dropped her hands, she was surprised to see that Qui Ai was looking at her with a frown as she asked, ” Is ...Is his majesty really like that ?”

” Of course do you think I would lie to you?” Liu Hui Ying said with an innocent look on her face.

” Look at that,” Li Gang pointed at Liu Hui Ying with his entire palm and said, ” She is lying to pure little Ai with such a serious face, like can she go any faker than that?”

Jia Li turned to look at Li Gang, she was studying the drawing that Liu Hui Ying had made but when she heard the man say those words, she abandoned her task and said, ” If you feel so sorry for her why don’t you go and tell her?”

” You should be happy that she is only lying to your little Ai,” Grandma Lan Fen opened one of her eyes while meditating and said, ” Think of the poor emperor, despite being perfectly straight he has been reduced to a bent one. I suppose sooner or later that poor child have to give a proof of being straight and potency.”
