Detective Ghost Empress

" What are you doing? Do you wish to get torched and cleaned up by the grim reaper?" Liu Hui Ying walked out of the tent and the first thing that she saw was Xiao Lin's spirit which was turning black with murderous cadaveric energy.

From one glance she was able to see that Xiao Lin was on the verge of morphing into an evil spirit and thus stopped her conversion on time lest she had to dirty her hands by exorcising Xiao Lin —— she did not want to accept this woman as her ghost servant since her loyalty was not set but she could not exorcise her either.

Something told her that Xiao Lin's spirit would come in handy later on.

Xiao Lin who was glaring at the Grand Dowager Empress and Ji Yang immediately paused in her transformation and then turned to look at Liu Hui Ying who was standing behind her, with a polite smile on her face, Xiao Lin walked over to where Liu Hui Ying was standing and then with a sheepish expression said, " I do not wish to be cleaned up by the grim reapers mistress but I can't help but be angry upon seeing the old dowager Empress and Prime minister Ji, the two of them spoke flowery words and fooled me, causing me to harm the noble you and now I am in this condition without a place to go and yet they are smiling and laughing like they did not kill me."

" They are laughing at your foolishness, you were an idiot to believe what they said to you and in your stupidity you almost killed me, so don't call me mistress, I am not your mistress." Liu Hui Ying was not going to be coaxed just because Xiao Lin said some sweet words, even Li Gang had to go on his knees, crawl like a dog and bark like one, only then did she accept him as her ghost servant and too only when she knew that the man was going to be fun to keep if not she would not have bothered with him either.

Xiao Lin knew that her buttery words did not work with Liu Hui Ying but she did not give up, for the sake of making sure that she stays in the world and protects Ji Yu, she will do anything even if it means to offer her soul to Liu Hui Ying!

However, the matter was easy to think about but was difficult to implement, as soon as Xiao Lin flew over to Liu Hui Ying's side she was rebuked until she could not even raise her head in front of Liu Hui Ying.

While dressed in a light yellow dress with a heavy headdress Liu Hui Ying was already annoyed thus no matter what Xiao Lin said or did for her, she only glared at the latter causing Xiao Lin to shrink like a little dried jujube as the latter flew back to where Li Gang and the rest were, they soothed her with some kind words but did not dare to go too far this time.

They did not get an ounce of yin energy last night, what was more they were missing the delicious braised pork and venison which they had gotten used to eating more or less, now that they were asked to stay hungry all night, they were feeling like they had been starved for days.

Liu Hui Ying did not pay attention to the four drama queens instead she walked over to the small tea table which was placed next to the edge of the forest under the shade of an old tea, on the tea table a pot of osmanthus tea was placed along with nuts, dried fruits along with osmanthus cakes and mugs bean jelly.

However, her bottom had hardly touched the cold surface of the wooden chair when she heard the tittering and tweeting of the imperial concubines who were heading her way. Liu Hui Ying looked at them and then counted their heads one by one and by the time she was done counting she could not help but click her tongue inwardly.

' Tsk, tsk, sixteen concubines? One imperial concubine? That man, he might really die the dog of death one day in case he starts paying attention to his imperial harem. Even if he only visited each one day, he would not be able to visit everyone twice. What a hard life that man is living,' Liu Hui Ying thought as she threw a few melon seeds in her mouth and started to munch on them.

Zhai Tianyu who was standing far away saw Liu Hui Ying's lips curl in a smile which was a tad bit more scarier than before and shuddered as he looked at the group of women who were heading Liu Hui Ying's way.

' Dear god, please give those women some wisdom such that they will not offend Hui Ying and even if they offend my queen, please make sure that they do not drag me down,' Zhai Tianyu had to sleep with his brother last night and even though it would have not mattered much if they were in the imperial palace the same could not be said for the small bed in the tent which Yu Lingyun and Zhai Heng were sharing.

The bed was so small that he had to look at Zhai Heng's face all night, what was even more heart cursing was that there was no couch in his brother's tent because they had two beds!

If Liu Hui Ying kicked him out again tonight then, he will have to see his brother's face all night once again and though his brother was good-looking, he was not his type!

Liu Hui Ying did not know that Zhai Tianyu was thinking so much, she only watched the women who were heading over to the many tables which were placed under the tree shade and did not even bother to raise her head to look at the Concubines instead she lowered her head and took a sip of the tea but even if she wanted to avoid trouble did not mean that trouble was going to avoid her, as soon as the concubine who was in lead noticed Liu Hui Ying, she immediately smiled and walked over to where Liu Hui Ying was sitting.
