Detective Ghost Empress

184 New identity and meeting Scholar Wei

Liu Hui Ying raised her head and looked at the man who has walked inside the room, Scholar Wei was just like she imagined him to look like, with his face that was extremely good looking the man looked exceptional with his sharp eyes and lips that were red and full like blossoming roses. With one glance she was able to understand why Zhai Chenguang fell for him, she turned to look at the woman in question.

Just as she expected Zhai Chenguang was looking at Scholar with eyes that were shining with love and affection. Seeing her like this Liu Hui Ying simply shook her head, she knew that a woman would go blind when it came to love but she never expected Zhai Chenguang to go completely blind to the point where she would miss everything that this person has done to her.

” Uncle Wei,” Scholar Wei took a seat as Yu Lingyun pulled him down. He looked at the man sitting next to him and then smiled at him with a pair of glittering eyes. ” Where were you? We were missing you!”

Scholar Wei looked a bit uncomfortable with Yu Lingyun hugging him, he cleared his throat and shrugged off Yu Lingyun’s arm and then looked at Zhai Tianyu with a polite expression on his face before he asked, ” Your majesty, is there something you want this one to do for you? If so there was no need for you to trouble yourself, even if you sent a simple message to me with a eunuch, I would have done the job.”

He was a man who did not speak much, other than the Grand Dowager Empress, Scholar Wei hardly ever talked with anyone, this was what everyone was used to but now that Zhai Tianyu knew that Scholar Wei was involved with the killing of his aunt, he realised that the reason this man has never talked with them might be because he did not want to slip up. It had nothing to do with his introverted nature, this was more to do with his own selfishness because he feared getting caught.

His gaze turned to look at Zhai Chenguang who was standing in the dark corner of the room where Liu Hui Ying was standing and noticed the love-stricken gaze that she had on her face and felt heavier by the second that was passing, his aunt even after dying loved this man. If she was to find out that this man was really involved in her death, what will she do? Will she even be able to rest in peace? He thought in his head.

“It’s nothing,” said Zhai Tianyu as he turned to look at the server who poured a generous amount of wine into their cups. He waited until the server was done pouring the wine into his cup, once it was filled to the brim, Zhai Tianyu picked up the cup and then took a sip of the mellow wine. “Zhen just called you for having wine and to spend a little time with Zhen, it has been such a long time since aunt left us but Zhen misses her every day as if she died just yesterday which is why Zhen called you, uncle Wei. Do you blame Zhen for this?”

Zhai Tianyu looked at the man in front of him, he kept looking at the man’s face worried that he would miss any change in the expression of the man but to his surprise, the man did not show any change in his expression except looking a bit sad as he lowered his head and then sighed, ” You are right your majesty. It has been such a long time already but I still miss her as if she left me just a few days ago .”

He raised his head and even had a few tears glittering in his eyes as he looked at Zhai Tianyu and wiped his tears. ” I still can’t believe that is no longer with me.”

.....

Zhai Tianyu looked at Scholar Wei who was looking at him with tears in his eyes. This man was either a very good actor or he really was not involved in this case, but there was no need for him to think over this matter so much.

The expert was already here, there was no need for him to use his head.

” I understand your pain, uncle Wei,” Zhai Tianyu muttered but then he raised his head and looked over Scholar Wei’s shoulder and his eyes shone with a glint as he loudly exclaimed, ” Oh you are here lord Chen.”

Scholar Wei turned to look at the man who was walking inside the room, he has never seen this young man with the emperor before and somewhere in his heart he started to feel a bit stifled when he saw this sudden change, why was it that no one told him that the Emperor found a new friend?

Liu Hui Ying dressed up as a frivolous young man this time to avoid raising suspicions, which was why Zhai Tianyu gave her a new identity of Lord Chen, what was more they did not want Scholar Wei to find out that she was investigating the death of Zhai Chenguang because of this they decided to keep changing her appearance for precaution purposes.

” Your majesty,” Liu Hui Ying was used to acting out various roles as a detective, the tone, the movements and her facial expression that she made as soon as she came to a stop in front of Zhai Tianyu were completely like a good for nothing, young master. She bowed with a lot of waving of her hands before she straightened up and looked at Scholar Wei along with everyone else, ” You all are already here?”

” This is ...?” Scholar Wei turned to look at Zhai Tianyu who was sitting opposite him and asked, he seemed to be rather thrown off at the sudden arrival of the young man whom he has never seen before.

” He is Chen Rui,” replied Zhai Tianyu having finalised the name of the appearance of the young man that Liu Hui Ying used. ” He is one of my friends, you don’t know him because you haven’t seen him before, he just returned to the city before this he was travelling outside.”
