Detective Ghost Empress

” That is simply impossible, your majesty,” Nanny Gong immediately denied Liu Hui Ying’s request as she pushed the latter out of the room and to the corridor. ” You are the mother of the nation, you will have to bless the first hunt and pray in the temple that is situated at the mountains of the southern territory. Only then the hunt would be considered as complete, without your prayer and blessings, it would be fruitless.”

Which meant that she would not be able to skip from this hunt, Liu Hui Ying suddenly felt like being the Empress was a pain in the ass. Why did she not reincarnate in the body of some cannon fodder concubine? If she did not only would she have been able to live leisurely even that Emperor would have left her alone because he would have been too busy playing hooky with his precious lover.

But now that man would pop into her courtyard every once and now, she really could not understand what that man was trying to do. Should he not be whispering sweet nothings to the woman he loved? What was he doing sending her this and that? Liu Hui Ying thought as her gaze fell on the big golden palanquin that the Emperor has sent her a day ago because she said that she was stressed.

Even though she was faking it to make her ghosts pity her this was really too surprising for her as well, after all, why will the Emperor care if she was upset? Why?

Though she was confused, she did not complain. Who would? Getting a golden palanquin to sit on was something that not everyone can experience. If she got bored with it, she could obviously sell it and then earn some quick money.

The naive Liu Hui Ying did not know that this golden palanquin was made from the jewellery that was snatched from her own house. The Emperor was feeling a lot guilty after he found out that he mistakenly attacked the warehouse where his father-in-law kept all the things that belonged to his wife, originally he wanted to give the jewellery back to Liu Hui Ying and confess but then he saw the welts on Yu Lingyun’s arms and decided against it.

His general was beaten like this when he went to apologize, if he was to apologize to his wife for stealing from her, there was a good chance that he will be beaten until his mother refuses to accept that he was her son.

.....

This was why instead of confessing, he asked his workers to melt the jewellery and then make a palanquin out of it such that he will not be beaten up for the time being.

Liu Hui Ying of course had no idea that something like this had taken place behind her back which was why she was conveniently using the palanquin without getting bothered at all but the day she finds out that the palanquin was made out of the gold that belonged to her originally ——hehe.

…..

Liu Hui Ying sat down on her golden palanquin and the four palanquin bearer used their sturdy arms to pick the palanquin up from the ground and then marched all the way up to the funeral grounds. Of course, Liu Hui Ying was sensible enough to ask them to stop the palanquin a good distance from the graveyard lest she was critiqued for bringing something so flashy with her to the graveyard.

Once they reached the graveyard Liu Hui Ying asked them to stop the palanquin a good distance away from the graveyard and then got down from the palanquin and then walked the remaining distance.

” Sister Hui Ying,” when she reached the graveyard a voice called from behind causing Liu Hui Ying to pause as she turned to look at Liu Yuyang who was walking over to the spot where she was standing.

” Brother Yuyang,” Liu Hui Ying greeted Liu Yuyang, since this young man gifted her a good deal of pieces of jewellery she had a rather good impression of him, even though he was a man, he was a walking ATM for her as well!

Liu Yuyang looked at Liu Hui Ying who came alone and then frowned slightly, why was it that even when the Emperor knew that he will have to pay respects to Liu Fei Fei together with Liu Hui Ying, he did not come with her? Was he not treating Liu Hui Ying too harshly?

” Where is his majesty, shouldn’t he be with you?” He asked Liu Hui Ying though he was thoroughly displeased by Zhai Tianyu and his actions of leaving Liu Hui Ying to deal with her mess, he never showed it on his face because Liu Hui Ying was indeed a bit too arrogant and made a lot of problems every now and then.

But now Liu Hui Ying was no longer the same, she was changed and more importantly, she was attacked a few days ago. Even the bandage on her forehead was yet to be taken off and yet his majesty was letting her roam around alone—— the fact that Zhai Tianyu did not appoint a guard for Liu Hui Ying was a sore spot for Liu Yuyang who thought that the Emperor was treating his sister too lightly but the fact that he even let Liu Hui Ying who was hurt and still recovering, alone like this made him even more dissatisfied by this husband of Liu Hui Ying!
