Detective Ghost Empress

207 summoned by the dowager empress

” We did not mean to do something like that as well but you were having such a good time, we thought it was not right of us to disturb you.” Li Gang who was now kneeling on the floor said aggrievedly to Liu Hui Ying, he did not want to go to the play but he was taken away by Jia Li who kept praising the man who was playing the male lead, saying that the man was too handsome and whatnot.

” I did not mean anything, I am old and muddleheaded..there are times when I cannot make proper decisions please try to understand,” Grandma Lan Fen who was an elderly woman and was thus allowed to stand without kneeling on the ground. She looked at Liu Hui Ying who was glaring at her with a terrible expression on her face and lowered her head, she wanted to say something more but knew that there was no way she was going to be forgiven which was why she did not say a word and simply pursed her lips.

“…I did not think that you will be caught in trouble either…you were having your own fun which was why I thought that it was all right for us to have fun as well, please don’t get angry at us like this,” Jia Li knew that she was in trouble she looked at Liu Hui Ying who was brimming with anger and then joined her hands in prayer as she squirmed nervously and added, ” It was just a single night, we worked so hard shouldn’t it be all right for us to have some fun as well, why are you glaring at me like that?”

Liu Hui Ying did not understand how these three ghosts could become so cheeky was it because she was treating them too well, was this the reason why she was getting ignored by them like this?

” You three, you are too much! I left my back for you to cover and you went to enjoy a play! If this goes on what will happen if one day I get attacked and have to fight for my life? You three will be gushing over a play’s climax and then I have to go and look for a place to haunt! You three are supposed to be by my side no matter what happens and until I say that you are free to leave you cannot leave!”

” I did not want to leave, I was telling them that if we leave the hell raiser will surely skin us——-”

Dong.

A loud echo reverberated in the room as Li Gang who was speaking felt his head twist back with a spiritual force and then felt his head fly away from his body. When he saw that he was punished by Liu Hui Ying for calling her a hell-raiser, he immediately flew into a rage while his body picked itself up from the ground and then walked over to where his head was, he continued to rap in a rapid-fire manner, ” Why are you getting angry at me for? These two were the ones who wanted to go to that concubine’s palace and watch the play I was just playing along with them, why is it that you are getting angry at me and not them? Don’t you think that you are being too biased by doing something like this?”

As soon as he spoke Jia Li wished she could throw the man out of the room, it was such a small matter what was wrong with him if he was to take the matter on his head tonight?

.....

” You don’t need to worry about it, I will definitely deal with the two of them,” Liu Hui Ying has not forgotten that these two have caused just as much trouble as Li Gang which was why she was not going to let this matter off as easily.

But before she could think of a way to deal with Jia Li and Grandma Lan Fen, Nanny Gong who was working in the small kitchen came bustling inside the room, she was still covered in sweat after working in the small kitchen but despite being covered with sweat already she had to turn around and run to the courtyard.

Liu Hui Ying who saw Nanny Gong run inside her room was stunned she wanted to ask what was going on but before she could say anything Nanny Gong immediately announced, ” The Dowager Empress has called for you, your majesty! You need to head to the palace now!”

After that Liu Hui Ying did not even have the time to open her mouth because she was pulled off her bed and then she was pushed into the bath that was like a small swimming pool in an enclosed space. Nanny Gong did not hear a thing that she has to say and insisted on bathing her like a child by the time Liu Hui Ying was pulled out of the bath and was dressed up, she was pouting and huffing like an angry bull who was the verge of losing control.

“You need to smile a little more your majesty, you look like you are going to meet someone who went back on his words and reneged their debts,” Nanny Gong tried to pull Liu Hui Ying’s lips up but she could not even touch those frowning lips before Liu Hui Ying opened her mouth and fiercely bit down on Nanny Gong’s fingers causing the latter to yelp a loud, ” Aiya, what are you doing? Your majesty!”

Nanny Gong was really wronged it was not like she was the one who wanted to do this, the dowager empress sent the word that she wanted to see Liu Hui Ying, what else was she supposed to do other than follow her order?

She aggrievedly blew on her finger and then looked at Liu Hui Ying who was looking like she was on the verge of losing her temper. Now she just hoped that her majesty would stay calm while seeing the dowager empress as for her acting like a lady? She might as well forget it.
