Detective Ghost Empress

181 You can choose to believe me

Liu Fei Fei was not the only person who was angered by Liu Hui Ying, there was someone else who was very much annoyed by her but because of reasons known best to him, he could not say a word to Liu Hui Ying because that woman always did what she wanted and would not listen to anything that he has to say anyway.

” Your majesty ...did you...did you bath with your robe on?” eunuch Li was someone who was sent to the Emperor’s palace by the Dowager Empress, though he would often tell the Dowager Empress what Zhai Tianyu did and where he went, he was very apt with his work and knew how to do his job without irking Zhai Tianyu.

And more importantly, he was the one with whom Zhai Tianyu grew up which was why Zhai Tianyu was willing to withstand his presence because he knew that Eunuch Li only had limited guts to himself and did not have much courage to assassinate him, and his influence over the imperial palace there was a chance that if he was to send Eunuch Li away, he would get a eunuch who would assassinate him.

This was the very reason he was willing to leave Eunuch Li alone and the old man was also good at handling his temper and day-to-day chores, so the two of them went along in a silent and unspeakable manner.

But today for some reason that silence was broken as Eunuch Li watched Zhai Tianyu step out of the bathhouse with his robe on and water spilling around his feet as he walked out of the bathhouse, though he knew that the Emperor hated the fact when anyone touched him and did not like anyone seeing his naked body which was why he would bath alone despite the decorum telling him to have someone who will wash and clean him by his side.

This was something Eunuch Li was used to, what he was not used to was watching the Emperor dressed in a wet robe and in a messy appearance like this, usually, when he went to the bath he would at the very least take off his clothes, what happened to him all of a sudden? Was his habit of not showing his body other than a man to anyone else getting even more severe and he was starting to hide his bare body from his own very eyes as well?

“It’s nothing just bring a change of clothes and a wipe cloth as well,” there was no way Zhai Tianyu can tell Eunuch Li that he was being stalked by a very perverted ghost at the moment and even if he did, there was no way Eunuch Li would believe a thing that he was telling him.

Eunuch Li shot another glance at the Emperor who has gotten another weird habit of bathing with a robe on and decided that he was going to tell this to the Dowager Empress as soon as possible after all, she needed to know what her son was up to.

Once Eunuch Li was gone Zhai Tianyu once again turned to look at Jia Li who was haunting him for no reason at all, and asked in a wary and tired voice, ” How long are you going to go on with this thing? Are you not tired I mean this is truly too much. Don’t you feel ashamed at the thought of peeping at a man in the bath?”

.....

He will accept the fact that he might have overstepped a bit when he sent An Qian to guard the Queen but that was only because he did not want the Queen to be vanishing without him knowing anything and nothing more, why was it that he was being harassed like this? It was simply too much!

Jia Li on the other hand was completely unabashed as she shrugged calmly and then looked at Zhai Tianyu with a snicker. ” I am a ghost, what kind of ghost will feel abashed at the thought of peeping at a mortal man? It’s not like as if I am doing something unspeakable to you. And my actions of peeping at you are purely educational. You are the one who is making it perverse.”

” Yeah, right,” he heard her whistle when he went to take off his robe, there was no way this ghost was studying his body because of purely educational purposes. If he was to believe it then he was a complete fool.

” You can choose not to believe me but if you were to believe me then you will have a better sleep at night,” Jia Li told him and Zhai Tianyu was on the verge of accusing her that she was peeping at him because she liked it when the door of his bedroom was slid open and in came Zhai Heng who seemed to be in a hurry as he said, ” I heard from Yu Lingyun, Scholar Wei is back in the imperial city. I am going to send him an invite– what are you doing?” He suddenly paused when his gaze fell on the Emperor who was dressed in a wet robe with water pooling around his feet. ” What are you doing?”

” Nothing.”

.....

Liu Hui Ying wiped her lips as she threw the cloth in the bowl and stood up from the table, when she turned around she saw An Qian kneeling behind her, because she did not expect the woman to appear out of thin air, she was surprised causing her to yelp as she looked at the woman who was on the floor. With a little jump, she patted her chest and muttered angrily, ” Did I not tell you not to appear out of thin air and startle me? And why are you even here? I think I told you to stay away from me, did I not?”

An Qian did not show that she was feeling upset at Liu Hui Ying’s scolding instead she signed with her hands and the angry expression on Liu Hui Ying’s face changed into a different one as she muttered softly, ” Scholar Wei is back?”
