Detective Ghost Empress

99 The queen is pregnant?

” Thank you,” Liu Hui Ying said to the man called prince Kang as she took several steps back and bowed in front of him. She was hoping that the guy would just take her thank you and then leave her alone but she was very wrong!

“It’s all right, there is no need for you to thank me like that, you can stand up straight, there is no need to bow in front of me,” Prince Kang waved her apology aside and then allowed her to stand up straight.

Liu Hui Ying stood up straight and then she only took one glance at the man in front of her and she started to feel rather tired.

Maybe it was that obnoxious, foolish smile or maybe it was the fact that the man hasn’t left her alone yet.

” You said that you are out to buy hawthorns for my sister?” Prince Kang asked as he looked at her, his lips curled slightly.

” That is right, my lord,” replied Liu Hui Ying as she was taught by Qui Ai. ” The Queen was craving some candied hawthorns and she asked me to buy them for her.”

Prince Kang blinked his eyes and then tilted his head to the side before he naively asked, ” But my sister absolutely hates candied hawthorns, don’t tell me–” he said with a gasp causing sweat to trickle down Liu Hui Ying’s spine. ” That my sister is pregnant!”

” Cough!” Liu Hui Ying choked on air as she patted her chest and then tried to ease her startled heart. ” The Queen is not pregnant!” She exclaimed loudly with frustration lining her face. How in the world did this man come to this conclusion?

She will jump down the cliff before getting pregnant with that bastard’s child!

.....

” She isn’t?” Prince Kang’s brows furrowed as he raised a finger and pointed at Liu Hui Ying and asked, ” How do you know that? There is no way my sister would tell you something so serious.”

” I am the Queen’s most trusted servant, of course, she will tell me if something like this was to happen and,” she looked around and then added hurriedly, ” What kind of child will pop out in three days?”

If that jerk can get her pregnant in three days then he might as well declare himself as one shot Emperor.

Prince Kang seemed to be pondering over what Liu Hui Ying said as he nodded, Liu Hui Ying thought that he understood what she was trying to say but then she heard him say, ” Does that mean my sister was pregnant before getting married?”

Liu Hui Ying all of a sudden felt like she was drained out of every bit of her energy, this man ...was he trying to get her killed?

” The queen is not pregnant!” Liu Hui Ying repeated but this time her voice was firm as she looked at the man with a deadly gaze. Stop trying to put a fcking baby in her womb when she didn’t want it damn it!

This time her face was so fierce that Prince Kang took a step back and said, ” All right, she is not pregnant but why are you getting angry like that?”

” I am not getting angry,” stated Liu Hui Ying, she truly wasn’t angry. It was just that her blood pressure was spiking up because of this man.

” So, if she isn’t pregnant...then why does she want to eat candied hawthorns?”

” AHHHH! FORGET ABOUT CANDIED HAWTHORNS, MAYBE JUST SHOOT THEM ALL!”

Damn those candied hawthorns! Even if she wasn’t pregnant now, if this goes on then she will get pregnant with a hawthorn’s baby!

....

” This is what the queen asked me to buy,” she showed the yellow talisman paper to the man who for some reason was following her. ” The Queen is missing her mother and wanted to write some letters to her and burn them, but if she gets caught then it will be troublesome, that’s the only reason she asked me to bring this secretly.”

Prince Kang looked at the yellow papers and nodded sympathetically, ” Well it’s understandable, my sister is under so much stress these days. She must be missing aunt a lot now that she is living in the palace.” He shook his head and then added, ” You should tell my sister that she should not worry so much, I am sure that aunt must be watching over her no matter where she is at the moment.”

” Yes, yes...” Liu Hui Ying replied dryly, boy if he knew. If this woman’s mother was indeed looking over her then she would definitely come to haunt her.

” Anyway, are you going to the palace now?” Prince Kang asked as he looked down at her and Liu Hui Ying frowned as she nodded.

” But why? The night is just getting young! Tell you what, I will take you to a rather fun place!” Prince Kang snapped his finger at Liu Hui Ying and without giving her a chance to refuse he caught hold of her sleeve and dragged her with him.

“Hey let go!” Liu Hui Ying shouted, fortunately, the sleeves of the eunuch’s robes were too long and the man didn’t touch her skin but if he was to then her allergies will flare up in the middle of the street!

” Now, Now... you are the eunuch of my sister, I should treat you well! Come with me I will let you have lots of fun!”

...

” So, this is your version of fun?” Liu Hui Ying asked as she slapped the hand of the woman who was trying to dig deep into her shirt.

Prince Kang chuckled appreciatively as he wrapped his hands around the waist of two women and replied, ” Isn’t this fun even if you can’t do the deed the least you can do is have a bit of fun, right?”

Liu Hui Ying stared at the man who has dragged a supposed-to-be eunuch to a brothel and then asked quietly, ” Prince Kang, you don’t have any friends do you?”

” How do you know that?”

” I just made a guess.”
