Detective Ghost Empress

206 Get on your knees

” Wh...Who was that man?!”

This was the only roar that could be heard in the imperial palace in the morning every concubine who lived in the palace could be seen biting their handkerchief as they ordered their maids to find the identity of the man.

As for the man, she was currently lying on her bed with her hand clamping and rubbing her forehead as her head throbbed and ached because of the consequences of her actions last night. Liu Hui Ying had no idea that she has caused the entire bunch of concubines to get restless for the entire week, right now she was cursing the weak body that she was in at the moment.

” Ah, this darn woman,” she groaned as she rubbed her temples with an annoyed look on her face. ” She can’t even take a few sips of alcohol when I was the great detective Hui Ying, I could drink a least three bottles of wine before passing out!”

When she was working as a detective she had to train her body like that of a man which was why she was used to drinking every now and then, there was also her sister who was trapped in her body. If she was to pass out then her sister would regain consciousness and take over her body ——

Wait! Liu Hui Ying’s eyes snapped wide open as she sat up straight but because her head was hurting so much, she plopped down on the bed again because she could not sit still without her vision whirling around in front of her eyes like a top. However, even though she felt sick, Liu Hui Ying bullied her brain to remember what happened last night, she wanted to know whether her sister took control of her body or not.

But no matter how much she tried to remember nothing came to her mind, it was as if the memories of last night has long been cleaned. This only annoyed Liu Hui Ying further, she angrily punched the bed under her with her fists as she snapped, ” This woman is simply useless, she can’t even remember what happened last night, it’s fine if you cannot handle alcohol the least your body can do is to remember things!”

“The play last night was really amazing,” Jia Li who has finally found a way to entertain herself was really happy, last night she went to see the play that was being performed in the second concubine’s courtyard. It was a simple drama of a young miss being thrown out of her house but then regaining her title and position by framing and scheming against her family, it was a simple plot but at least the actors knew what they were doing and she really enjoyed it. Who would have thought that she would be able to find a substitute for the chilly flix subscription that she has lost?

” I know right, the climax of the scene where she killed her half-sister who schemed against her was really interesting, I am more excited to see how the play will go on after that twist,” Grandma Lan Fen was an old woman who did not have much to do either when she was dragged to the play she did not want to go after all she liked the peace of the back courtyard a bit too much but in the end, she was a woman as well, soon she was attracted by the plot and she did not feel much resistance and thoroughly enjoyed herself.

.....

” Especially the male lead, he was very handsome as well right?” Jia LI gushed excitedly as she cupped her cheeks.

” Hmph, you are easily satisfied,” Li Gang knew that the man was handsome but he did not want to admit it. After all, he was not willing to agree that someone other than him was more handsome, call him a narcissist if you wanted but with his black hair that was carefully cleaned in a buzz cut and his tall and muscular build he was better than any featherless chicken that had his hair tied in a ponytail with no muscles at all.

“You just know how to talk nonsense!” Jia Li glared at Li Gang, that male lead was her new ‘specimen’ to be researched on, how dare this man say that the man was no good, there was no way she was going to listen to anyone talk badly about her research specimen at all! “If you are jealous then just say it, why do you have to be like this?”

” What do you know——” Li Gang was prepared to scold Jia Li but before he could say anything, he was stopped by a glare that was directed at him, he turned around and looked at Liu Hui Ying who was glaring at him and the other two before swallowing his words back. Uh oh, they seemed to have forgotten about this devil’s heir.

” So,” Liu Hui Ying slowly pushed herself off the bed and then glared at the three of them with her cold eyes. ” I was left alone in the pavilion while you three were enjoying a play? It seems that you all have forgotten who your master is, how dare you run around recklessly like that? Do you even have me in your eyes?”

Liu Hui Ying could not be blamed for getting angry, her head was throbbing and she could not remember what happened last night, she was banking on these three ghosts to tell her what happened but instead of waiting by her side, they all turned around and went to see their play! What kind of servants were these? They actually left their master to watch play? She was going to go mad with the three of them finding trouble with her!

As she thought about how she has left these three ghosts to cover her back and trusted them only to be stabbed in the back by them, Liu Hui Ying could not help but grit her teeth in anger. Leave her back to these fools? It would be better to let her enemy stab her to death!
