Detective Ghost Empress

310 Strife and tension

Liu Hui Ying felt her heart burning, she scrunched up her brows and raised her hands, just now she was sure that she felt something. It was not strong but she did feel the traces of black magic, and if she was not wrong the traces seemed to be lingering inside her body—— her heart sank but she did not have a chance to think about it because a figure came to stand in front of her causing her to raise her head and look at the majestic figure.

“Your esteemed majesty,” she greeted Zhai Tianyu feeling slightly lethargic as she tried to circulate her inner energy and try to locate the traces of dark magic within her body but the thing was that no matter how much she looked around, she could not find anything.

What was going on? She was sure that she felt traces of black magic, if not her heart wouldn’t have strutted like that so why was it that she could no longer feel the dark magic? And now that she has sensed the dark magic, she couldn’t help but question whether the Queen died of the dark magic or was she really by this man in front of her.

“My Queen,” Zhai Tianyu looked at Liu Hui Ying who was staring at him with a pale face and slightly sickly complexion and asked, ” Are you feeling all right?”

“I…”Liu Hui Ying opened her mouth to reply when she heard Liu Yuyang who was standing beside her speak up and interrupting her, ” Thats some concern from someone who did not bother to grace us with his presence together with the Queen, does his majesty knows how much her majesty had to suffer because of your slight negligence?”

” Lord Liu, do you know what you are saying?” Zhai Heng who was following Zhai Tianyu as his bodyguard could not help but say, he saw how much trouble his little brother had to go through to come here but after arriving here, he was being blamed like this.

” I only know the suffering her majesty has to go through, last time it was poisoned wine and this time it was an attack, accompanying her to such a small ceremony and making sure that no one slighted her was the least you could have done your majesty,” Liu Yuyang was the heir of the Liu family which was why he could talk to Zhai Tianyu like this, he did not have to lower himself in front of Zhai Tianyu because as the heir of the Liu family, he was taught that he should only lower his head when he was certain that he was in the wrong and could not change the momentum of his situation.

“Are you asking this as the brother of her queen or are you asking this as the member of the Liu family?” Zhai Tianyu did not answer instead he asked a question of his own as he looked at Liu Yuyang, just now when he came to stand in front of Liu Hui Ying, he was sure that this man has glared at him with an unfriendly gaze.

And that gaze had nothing to do with the protectiveness of a brother but it was a possessive gaze of a man. Zhai Tianyu was a man and thus he was able to catch that little hint of possessiveness in Liu Yuyang’s eyes, he was angry at him but it had little to do with the fact that he was not treating Liu Hui Ying right and more to do with the fact that he believed that he will be able to treat Liu Hui Ying much better than Zhai Tianyu can.

.....

In all honesty, Zhai Tianyu was not even surprised that Liu Yuyang was getting inclined towards Liu Hui Ying, after all his queen indeed demanded respect and adoration every time she stood in a place. She was a woman, many men will have a hard time ignoring —— not because she was beautiful, there were many beautiful faces in this room but with the aura that she carried herself.

It was the confidence and grace she held while even standing as if she was the one who owned the entire space, some men would want her for the confidence that she had and some would want her to see how far they will have to take it to break her.

Men were such creatures and he could see that there were countless men of the second half in this graveyard.

Of course, Liu Yuyang was the first kind, he was possessive of Liu Hui Ying but he did not look at her like he wanted to harm her.

Liu Yuyang looked at him with a narrowed gaze, he did not answer his question and simply kept on looking at him which made Zhai Tianyu wonder whether or not he would be able to receive an answer to this question from this man ever.

But fortunately for Liu Yuyang, he did not have to answer this question because as soon as he opened his mouth, Liu Hui Ying’s father who was responsible for welcoming the Emperor immediately walked over after getting rid of the pesky flies who were swarming over him making it impossible for him to come and see his daughter who was standing just a few meters away from him.

Fortunately, his majesty came and he was able to get away from those annoying pests because he knew for sure that they would not have let him go if not for the fact that his majesty was standing right here!

‘ So annoying these people, since they couldn’t suck up to the head of the family, they want to suck up to me, do they think that he was this foolish?’ Liu Hui Ying’s father, Second Master Liu thought in his mind as he glanced at Liu Hui Ying who was not even looking at him and withered.

‘ Look at this, because of them my daughter is angry with me, she is not even looking at me! Once I go back I am going to set the people of these branches right’ Second Master Liu thought in his head before smiling at Zhai Tianyu. ” You are here your majesty, we were waiting for you.”
