Detective Ghost Empress

270 You are pretty as always

” What?” Zhai Tianyu’s head snapped up as he looked at his general, this man was supposed to be loyal to him? Wasn’t he? Then why was he speaking up for Liu Hui Ying instead of him? What was up with this man?

Don’t tell him that Yu Lingyun ended up getting infatuated with Liu Hui Ying, he has been like this ever since he was a kid every time he saw a person who was stronger than him, he would start following them day and night, wanting to learn this technique and that.

Even though Yu Lingyun couldn’t learn what Liu Hui Ying knew but that wouldn’t change him from tailing after Liu Hui Ying, when he thought about it like this Zhai Tianyu could not help but narrow his eyes a little as he looked at Yu Lingyun sharply.

Zhai Heng too turned to look at Yu Lingyun with doubtful eyes, this was the same man who was telling him that falling for the Queen was not good wasn’t he, then how come he suddenly started to speak up for Liu Hui Ying?

Yu Lingyun too understood that he was being eyed by two devils and immediately fell speechless. Though he will admit that the Queen was really strong and her strength made him admire her a little but she was not his type! She was so petite and he was so tall, if the two of them stood together then surely, he will be made fun of! There was no way he was going to fall for a petite woman all right?

” I mean to say that it is quite obvious that she would not want to help us,” though Yu Lingyun wanted to roll his eyes, he somehow managed to keep a straight face as he looked at his two friends who were eyeing him like he was their competitor.

‘ Wake up! You two are the ones who are going against each other not me, stop looking at me like that!’ Was what Yu Lingyun wanted to shout literally but for the sake of their years of friendship and all the ups and downs they have gone through, he kept his lips tightly shut and swallowed the words that were right at the brim of his tongue.

Instead, he rolled his tongue around and chewed the inside of his mouth before breathing out and saying, ” The Queen was almost killed by us twice.” He raised his hands and showed Zhai Tianyu two fingers that made the victory sign. “It’s one thing that she was not killed but you know, and I know that the Queen knows that we were the ones behind her assassination attempts.”

He paused and then rolled his eyes. ” I am telling you that it is already good enough that the queen is only refusing to help us. I was actually getting afraid that she will send something haunting to chase after me—— Uwaa!”

.....

Yu Lingyun let out a scream as he took a few steps forward and rubbed his behind. Just now he was sure that something cold touched his bottom, he rubbed his hands on his two cheeks and then shivered as he turned to look over his shoulders and asked Zhai Tianyu, ” Wh…did the Queen really send something after you?”

Zhai Tianyu helplessly looked at consort Liu’s ghost who was standing in the spot looking slightly affronted, she has been a pain in his ass for a while and because of this, he asked her to count the number of figures that were drawn on the ceiling, hoping to keep her as busy as possible such that she would not stick to him.

He promised that if she finished counting the figures he will sit down and listen to everything that she has to say, it was not like he was not listening to her already. He was listening to her so much that his ears were falling off but he somehow managed to get some peace for himself.

Just now consort Liu was counting the figures and bumped into Yu Lingyun causing him to jump up.

“It’s nothing,” he waved his hand and looked at Yu Lingyun who was totally freaked out as he looked left and right before turning to look at the same spot where he was standing. “It’s just——”

” A water demon?”

” An ice demon?”

” Or something else? I haven’t felt so cold like this before!” Yu Lingyun told Zhai Tianyu who raised his head, looked at his annoying friend and then spat out. “It’s nothing just Consort Liu’s ghost.”

Yu Lingyun: “...”

Yu Lingyun: “….” ???

Yu Lingyun: “...” !!!! ∑(; °0°)

A wretched scream rang out in the courtyard before Zhai Heng who was standing in the middle of the study was pulled out by Yu Lingyun.

” I need to ask her whether or not she saw someone,” Zhai Heng told Yu Lingyun but the latter was too upset and scared of the fact there was a ghost in the study which he was not made aware of, he looked at Zhai Heng who was still trying to stay behind and said with a hint of desperation in his voice, ” Do you want to stay here and question or do you want to come and stay with your distort childhood friend? Make your choice! Right now!”

Zhai Heng wanted to say that he was going to stay but Yu Lingyun who was looking at him stared at him with a stubborn expression that said if Zhai Heng dared to say that he was going to stay behind he was going to get really upset and stop talking to him.

Used to Yu Lingyun’s tantrum, Zhai Heng had no other choice but to follow him out of the room, leaving Zhai Tianyu alone with Consort Liu who was very much offended and turned to look at Zhai Tianyu before she coquettishly said, ” Do I look that scary, your majesty?”

Not wanting to hear a ghost wailing in his ears day in and day out, Zhai Tianyu simply shook his head and said, ” Not at all my dear consort, you are just as pretty as you were before.”
