Detective Ghost Empress

209 Drowned to death

—

” Cough, cough,” Liu Hui Ying was so shocked by this revelation that she did not know what to say, the Emperor was interested in men. Since when did this happen and how? Liu Hui Ying was stunned as she looked at the woman who was looking at her in surprise and hurriedly wiped her mouth with a handkerchief that Qui Ai has offered her and then said with a smile, ” I...I was just shocked upon hearing that people would believe on anything now.”

But as she spoke she was really troubled by the fact that she might have caused trouble for Zhai Tianyu, what if he was really interested in men and she created a mess for his sexual orientation to be turned around? But compared to Zhai Tianyu’s sexual satisfaction she cared about her life which was why she immediately pushed the guilt that she was feeling in her heart to the side, she shouldn’t think too much after all she was the one whose life was on the line as for Zhai Tianyu wasn’t he already having fun with the man or whoever he was with?

” Right!” When Dowager Empress heard Liu Hui Ying’s words she smacked the table with a harsh bang of her hand. ” I was telling mammy An the same thing, there is no way my son will be interested in men, even if I haven’t raised him. I know him better than others, there is no way he will go around frolicking with eunuch and whatnots, it’s just some people who don’t know what is right and what is wrong for them.”

As she spoke she started to get more and more angry but then she did not say anything and simply cursed those who were saying a bunch of things about her son who was the Emperor of this palace.

” Yes, yes …you are absolutely right your majesty,” what else could Liu Hui Ying say? She nodded her head and then smiled at the Dowager Empress as if she was agreeing with every single word that the older woman was saying but in her heart, she was rolling around in pain and guilt. Did she force a bend man to become straight? But how come that man wasn’t straight, did he not have a white moonlight?

As she thought about Ji Yu, Liu Hui Ying remembered the features of Ji Yu that despite being delicate had a masculine charm to them and suddenly understood something very important. Of course! This was not about beauty it was about the essence!

Now that she understood what was going on Liu Hui Ying thought that she might have understood something!

Though before she could say anything she heard a maid’s hurried footsteps and then she watched as the maid who was standing outside come running as she came to stand behind the mammy. Mammy An did not move instead she stood where she was before she looked at the person, Mammy An did not move at once but she waited until she was done before she turned around and then walked over to where the maid was, she looked at the maid who leaned in closer and then said a bunch of things to her, at first Mammy An did not understand what was going on but then her eyes widened as she rushed to Dowager Empress and said in a panicked voice, ” Liu Fei Fei is dead.”

.....

….

Liu Fei Fei was one of the most important chess pieces that the Dowager Empress and the left prime minister has chosen, she was supposed to be the backdrop of Liu Hui Ying making sure that if there were no benefits brought by Liu Hui Ying then they could turn to Liu Fei Fei, what was more with Liu Fei Fei in the harem they would be able to keep a rein on Liu Hui Ying after all they wanted to make sure that she knew that if they could make her the Empress then they can even make Liu Fei Fei the empress as well.

But now one of the legitimate daughters of the Liu family was killed and the others who were stuffed in the imperial palace were only worthy to become the imperial concubine.

When Dowager Empress heard that Liu Fei Fei was dead, she felt like she has been smacked in the face. Someone actually dared to make a move against the daughter of the Liu family and that too right under her nose? How dare they!

” My Fei Fei!” When both Liu Hui Ying and the Dowager Empress arrived at the courtyard where Liu Fei Fei lived they could see the nanny who has taken care of Liu Fei Fei ever since she was a child crying over the corpse that was lying on the floor.

Liu Hui Ying looked at the corpse that was on the floor, it seemed to have been taken out of the pond, as her entire body was swollen and Liu Fei Fei who seemed like a delicate beauty was now looking like she was some sort monster.

” She was drowned by someone,” earlier Jia Li and the others were really bored when they were with Liu Hui Ying they wanted to leave but after the lesson that Liu Hui Ying has taught them, they no longer dared to do that which was why they stayed where they were, luckily they did or they would have missed this case!

Liu Hui Ying’s eyes flashed as she looked around the room and indeed she noticed the heavy yin energy that was full of vengeance and anger, Liu Fei Fei was here and she was currently really angry. Most probably she was trying to look for the person who killed her and wanted to take her revenge, she looked at the corner of the room where the walls seemed to have gotten slightly wetter and narrowed her eyes while no one was looking at her, she turned her Yin and Yang eyes on and sure enough, she saw Liu Fei Fei sitting inside the small space with her eyes drilled on her corpse with a vicious look on her face.
