Detective Ghost Empress

215 If its you I am willing

Liu Hui Ying returned to her courtyard beside her was Liu Fei Fei who was very much affronted as she continued to complain in her ears. ” I cannot believe that aunt would do something like this even if she could not investigate you, something that I am not even going to ask given that I know that someone from the Liu family needs to stay in power. But she could have at least dragged the Concubines into this mess and have them taught a lesson.”

As she spoke she pursed her lips and then carefully tucked a strand of her hair before continuing, ” I am certain that this plan with so many loopholes must belong to that woman, Ji Laoyu. She is the daughter of the third Concubine of the second master Ji…I bet she was upset when I told her that the hairpin that she was boasting about was not from the Mingzhi province and was brought from a small stall.”

” No, it must be that woman… that Ji Xi, I heard that she was recently admitted into the imperial palace which was I brought her a special gem that his majesty has gifted me. Because she was a concubine-born daughter who was not favoured, she did not even have a worthy piece of jewellery to match the gem that I gifted her which was why I oh so generously told her that I will make her a new set of jewellery since she was so poor.”

” Or maybe it was——”

” Just how many people have you offended,” Liu Hui Ying was tried after listening to her chatter, she was thinking that she will be able to round down the number of suspects but instead she ended up getting so many names that she was getting worried that she will have to summon at least an army of ghosts to investigate these people because there was no way her three ghosts will be able to investigate this many people. ” Are you sure you did not offend the entire palace while you were alive?”

She was talking with Liu Fei Fei with the help of her spiritual link which was why she did not have to worry about anyone hearing her.

” Maybe,” Liu Fei Fei replied with a simple shrug as if she was not talking about her murderer but about the weather. ” I never really liked playing by the books, I knew that my father would not care about what I did which was I never had any qualms while getting into trouble. After all, no matter how many times I get caught up in trouble my father will not care.” As she finished speaking Liu Hui Ying noticed that Liu Fei Fei’s voice has turned bitter.

No wonder this girl was always so bitter and gloomy, she has been turned away by her father and his absence seemed to have made Liu Fei Fei’s heart turn cold.

” This is going to be hard,” Jia Li muttered from the side as she looked at the young woman whose soul was drifting alongside them. ” She has offended so many people, it will be impossible for us to narrow the number of people down to a few. It seems that we have to do it from the scratch.”

.....

If they could narrow the list they only needed to keep an eye on the track of the suspects but now they would have to look for every single bit of clues.

” No we won’t be doing anything as such because I haven’t accepted this case yet,” Liu Hui Ying stated firmly causing Liu Fei Fei’s eyes to turn wide in surprise as she looked at the latter and said, ” Are you being serious?”

She floated in front of Liu Hui Ying suddenly causing the latter to walk past her, because she did it all of a sudden Liu Hui Ying did not have time to stop herself and walked right past Liu Fei Fei causing her entire body to turn even colder as she shivered.

” Your majesty, are you okay ?” Qui Ai asked delicately, she thought that her mistress was getting the scary blues now that she was back in her safe place. Her little miss has never seen a coffin much less a dead body, their master wanted to protect his daughter from all the bad things in the world after all, the last time when their little miss saw her mother’s dead body she went into shock, which was why he did not allow her to see any dead people any more and kept her safe.

But now her little miss has to look at the body of Liu Fei Fei, how can she not be scared?

If Qui Ai knew that her little miss was at this moment talking to the soul of Liu Fei Fei who has been killed, then she would surely lose her mind.

” I am fine,” Liu Hui Ying knew that Qui Ai was worried about her but because she was annoyed with Liu Fei Fei who was constantly chattering in her ears, her tone was rather harsh and breathy. Qui Ai who was loyal to bones when it came to Liu Hui Ying immediately felt her eyes go red as she looked at her miss.

‘Oh my poor little miss, she has been scared silly by the death of Lady Fei Fei, I should be kinder to her tonight.’ Qui Ai thought in her head as she helped Liu Hui Ying inside the room while Liu Fei Fei continuously screamed at Liu Hui Ying on the side. ” What do you mean that you will not be helping me? Can’t you see that if the matter is not solved that I will stay with you, throughout your entire life and even in death, I will not leave you alone!”

Liu Fei Fei thought that she has scared Liu Hui Ying into giving in to her because she saw the disgust in Liu Hui Ying’s eyes and which was why she continued to harp on this very thing.

Seeing that she was actually trying to push her, Liu Hui Ying smiled and then turned to look at Qui Ai as she said, ” Little Ai can you go and warm some water for me? I want to take a bath.”

” Of course, your majesty!” Qui Ai nodded and then rushed to go inside the room that had a bath inside it, once she was gone …Liu Hui Ying turned to look at Liu Fei Fei who snorted her from the side and then walked forward before she used her spiritual powers and grasped Liu Fei Fei’s chin as she said: ” If it’s you then I am willing.” As she spoke her voice turned really breathy and seductive.
