Detective Ghost Empress

Zhai Tianyu rushed right after Liu Hui Ying after shaking off Ji Yu but the latter was too fast and she went inside the funeral hall before he could which was why he walked over to the funeral hall and wanted to go inside as well but as soon as he remembered that Liu Hui Ying was actually examining Liu Fei Fei’s body he decided that it was no right of him to do that which was why he stayed where he was but even after waiting for an hour, he did not see Liu Hui Ying come out and that sort of made him worry.

Ever since he was young, he has seen all kinds of poison and has even seen many incidents in which the examiner would get poisoned because of the poison that was present inside the body that he was examining this was the reason why he thought that something similar happened to Liu Hui Ying.

At first, he did not want to go inside the funeral hall but then he thought about how Liu Hui Ying might need his help in case she contacted something that she should not have and tried to open the door of the funeral hall. But to his surprise, the door of the funeral hall could not be opened!

The door as well as the funeral hall were newly built it was impossible for it to get stuck for no reason at all, Zhai Tianyu who could not open the door even after using a hint of spiritual energy thought that if he could not open the door Liu Hui Ying who was inside could also not open it which was the reason as to why she did not come outside the funeral hall after examining Liu Fei Fei’s body.

He was just thinking about breaking the door and barging right in to bring Liu Hui Ying back when the door of the funeral hall was pulled to the side and Liu Hui Ying who was standing in front of him with a scowl on her face as he very rudely asked, ” What is the matter your majesty? Why were you trying to interrupt my work?”

Zhai Tianyu who was thinking of saving Liu Hui Ying from a locked room was stunned when he heard her scold him, he blinked his eyes and then answered honestly, ” I thought that the door was stuck, I was trying to open it but it did not open which was why I thought that you were trapped…” he trailed off and then looked at Liu Hui Ying with a shake of his head and then added, ” Are you done with your examination what did you find, my queen?”

” Nothing much,” Liu Hui Ying’s eyes glinted slightly even though she and Zhai Tianyu worked on a case together that was because it was related to him but this time she had no desire to work with him, she was used to working alone which was why she pursed her lips and smiled faintly at Zhai Tianyu. ” I have everything in control, I will find the culprit pretty soon. You can leave everything on me, your esteemed majesty.”

Liu Hui Ying was a mysterious woman, she was part greedy, part serious and part dangerous… she was a woman who came with a sign that said —— ‘ Approach at your own risk,’ which was something that Zhai Tianyu knew but he still could not help but approach her and even though he could not say that he understood her really well, he could indeed say that he understood a bit about Liu Hui Ying.

.....

And he knew that at this moment, she was trying to push him away. His heart was slightly annoyed at her actions of keeping her distance from him but in the end, he decided not to push his luck —— he and Liu Hui Ying were not that close, to begin with each other anyway and there was nothing wrong with her trying to keep her distance from him, and just because he wanted to get closer to her and was annoyed at her indifference, he could not push his will on Liu Hui Ying, could he?

Suppressing the annoyance in his heart, Zhai Tianyu looked at Liu Hui Ying who was standing in front of him and said with a soft voice, ” You can come to me at any time, my queen….as long as you say a word that you need my help. I will certainly do anything in my power to help you.” He was not someone who will make promises to anyone but now that Liu Hui Ying was under his wing, he will do everything to protect her.

” Yo, why is his esteemed majesty feeling so generous towards me?” Liu Hui Ying teased as she tilted her head to the side and looked at Zhai Tianyu with a smile on her lips. ” Don’t tell me you are falling for me? Watch your tone your majesty, or else your sweetheart will come after my a*s.” As she spoke she chuckled before she crossed her arms to walk past Zhai Tianyu who was standing in front of her.

She expected him to ignore her now that she has brought Ji Yu up but to her surprise, she felt the man move slightly to the side as he looked at her sideways and then said, ” You can come to me, my queen….it has nothing to do with love or liking but you are still my woman even in name. I should protect you.”

Only Zhai Tianyu knew how hard it was for him to say these words because ever since he was a child his grandmother had told him that the Liu family was the murderer of his father and that they were his enemy but now he was telling a member of that Liu family that he was going to protect her.

Even though it was something small on his part, he was very sincere.

Liu Hui Ying turned her head to the side and then arched a brow, her lips still curled in a smile but her eyes were two chips of ice as she said, ” Don’t ever mistake me to be your woman, your esteemed majesty. I might be occupying the body of your wife but always do remember that we were not the ones who got married. Physically yes but not spiritually, I am not your wife nor your woman, and never will be.”

Zhai Tianyu turned pale when he heard Liu Hui Ying’s words, the woman did not even glance at him as she walked away after stomping on his sincerity.
