Detective Ghost Empress

The woman, however, shook her head as she lowered her head and said in a whispering voice, ” Prince Kang always plays too hard, I find it really difficult to wake up the next day if you don’t mind, I would rather stay with you, Sir.”

What a hassle, thought Liu Hui Ying as she looked at the little woman who was refusing to go over to Prince Kang’s side, she was still thinking about what to say to the woman to push her to Prince Kang’s side when she heard her say, ” Prince Kang has already paid for your drinks, sir. Each of the drinks cost more than ten silver taels, would you not take a sip? These drinks are the oldest ones in our winery.”

” What did you say?” Liu Hui Ying turned her attention to the wine jars that were placed in front of her, these wines cost more than ten silver. Strictly speaking, they cost more than a thousand copper coins, right? That means they were really expensive!

Liu Hui Ying has always been a fan of good wine, when she heard that each of the wine jars that Prince Kang ordered was more than ten taels, the drunkard in her woke up and she eyed the wine jars greedily, what was more they were completely free of cost!

” Are you sure that I can drink this wine for free?” Liu Hui Ying asked as she pointed to the jars of wine, the only reason she was acting so reserved till now was that she didn’t want to share the bill with this so-called prince, but if he has already paid then....

” Of course,” replied the woman who was sitting beside her as she gave her a nod. ” Prince Kang’s account has been linked with the Liu family for a very long time as long as he comes to our brothel and says that the tab is to be put under the Liu family then he can buy anything without paying.”

Oh looks like the Liu family was indeed a force that cannot be offended.

” If that is the case then,” Liu Hui Ying rubbed her hands and motioned the woman to pour the wine into her cup. ” Go ahead and fill my cups, God knows how much stress I have been piling up.”

.....

” As you wish my lord,” replied the woman as she picked up the wine jar while another woman who was sitting idly in the corner scrambled to Liu Hui Ying’s side and softly said, ” Master do you want me to massage your shoulders? I bet you will feel much more relaxed like this?”

Prince Kang already chose the woman he wanted to spend his night with, which was why he was dragged out of the room to the private room while Liu Hui Ying was the only one who was sitting in the drinking room. Liu Hui Ying looked at the sickly woman who looked rather skinny and clicked her tongue before she took out two gold coins from the pouch that was left behind by Prince Kang and handed them to the woman. ” Here you go, make sure to eat something nice this month.”

” How can I...” the woman said as she caught the coins and then shuddered as she looked at the shiny gold. ” The prince will question me–”

” The prince will be so pissed drunk by tomorrow morning that he will not even remember where he shoved his junk,” replied Liu Hui Ying as she flapped her hand. ” And if you want to serve me then you better wash your mouth and hands, I don’t like the scent of another man.”

Given that the woman was sticking her tongue inside Prince Kang’s mouth just a few minutes ago, it was really important for her to wash her hands clean along with her lips, if she didn’t do it then it will only make Liu Hui Ying feel icky.

” As you say master,” the woman bowed her head as she rushed out of the room to wash her hands and lips while the woman in red continued to serve Liu Hui Ying wine.

....

” No wonder men like coming to this place,” Liu Hui Ying hiccuped as she smashed the cup down on the table and then looked at the two women who were drunk beyond their limits and were now lying on the floor with their cheeks flushed red. ” What’s wrong? Did you two got drunk so quickly? Tsk, tsk...too bad, I was going to offer more gold coins to you.”

As she hiccuped she picked up the pouch of gold coins that were left behind by Prince Kang and placed them in her sleeves. ” Well, this is something that my little cousin left behind... as his older sister I have full right to keep them with me.”

” Aish,” she pushed herself off the floor and then stumbled before knocking into the table as she raised her hand and apologised, “Sorry about that, I am feeling a bit woozy. I am not drunk ...just a bit woozy.”

As she repeated those words, she stumbled out of the room and then peered out into the corridor. ” Sheesh, so many men... how annoying.... But I need to go.”

She mumbled as she rubbed her abdomen as her bladder protested against her. “Now where should I go?”

...

” I will be going to the restroom,” said Zhai Heng as he pushed himself off the chair he was sitting in and arched his back, because they could not discuss the military tactics in the imperial palace, he and Zhai Tianyu along with Yu Lingyun would often come to the brothel to spend time alone. In the eyes of others, they were messing around with women together but behind closed doors, they were actually discussing military tactics.

Zhai Tianyu looked at his empty tea cup and sighed. “I will come too, I drank a lot of tea as well.”
