Detective Ghost Empress

On the other hand, Ji Yu who was done giving advice to Liu Hui Ying returned to Liu Dong Ming's side as she nodded at him before turning her gaze away, it was her signal to let him know that she had done what he asked her to do.

Liu Dong Ming glanced at Ji Yu before turning to look at Liu Hui Ying who was thinking about something, his eyes considerably softened as he looked at Liu Hui Ying and sighed, how he wished he could take her away to the modern world and let her stay there but —— he clenched his fingers as he remembered his eldest daughter and turned his gaze at Ji Yang, for the sake of vengeance, he was going to make sure that the entire Ji family pays of the debts which they owed him and his daughters.

While his gaze was locked at Ji Yang, he noticed another figure which was moving towards Liu Hui Ying and his eyes flickered slightly before a mocking smile etched on his face. Truly idiotic, and does not even know that he was being used like an idiot.

Liu Hui Ying had to admit that Xiao Lin was right for once but she only thought it for a few minutes before she turned to look in front. From what Ji Yu said, there might be an opening for her to investigate the tents which were set up on the hunting grounds and with the ghosts next to her, she did not even have to push it too much and will be able to see what was being hidden in the tents.

However just as she came to a conclusion, she realised that someone was heading her way which made her raise her head and look at the person who was walking in her direction. When she saw that it was none other than concubine Qin's brother, Qin Mu Yan, she curled the side of her lips in a disdainful smile ——what was this, was he going to blame her now?

What Liu Hui Ying thought was indeed correct Qin Mu Yan was indeed blaming her which was why in his towering rage he did not care about who was standing in front of him nor did he care whom he was trying to question. All he knew was that his sister disappeared and no one knew where she went!

As he arrived in front of Liu Hui Ying, Qin Mu Yan begrudgingly got to his feet and then looked at Liu Hui Ying while he was still kneeling on the ground and asked, " Your majesty, I beg of you. If you are hiding my sister please let her go."

Qin Mu Yan knew that his sister went to find trouble with Liu Hui Ying earlier in the afternoon which was why he thought that she deliberately made his sister disappear to make their family realise what their position was and where they were standing.

His words caused the entire hunting ground to erupt while Zhai Tianyu wished he could lift his robes and kick Qin Mu Yan in the back of his head ——what was that idiot doing? He was blaming the queen? Why, doesn't he just blame him !?

That way he will not be digging a grave for him!

In case Liu Hui Ying went mad, he will be the one who will be scolded to death for appointing such foolish officers!

But he could not lose his temper nor could he kick Qin Mu Yan in the back of his head which was why he could only walk towards where Qin Mu Yan and Liu Hui Ying were and try to break their argument. But as he approached Liu Hui Ying and Qin Mu Yan, he heard Liu Hui Ying sneer and that was when a chill crawl up his spine.

" Official Qin you are being really funny," Liu Hui Ying scoffed when she heard the words of Qin Mu Yan, not only did she take great offence but she also did not bother to hide the contempt she felt for Qin Mu Yan.

" Everyone knows that I was in the hunting ground from the beginning till the end, let's not talk about concubine Qin's disappearance, from what happened to your mother, it's quite clear that someone with really deep grudge is after your family. Why is it that you suddenly thought of accusing me?"

" Your majesty, I am not trying to accuse you…" Qin Mu Yan began but  Liu Hui Ying did not give him a chance to speak, she arched a brow and then said in a sneering cold voice, " You are not accusing me? Which of your words was not accusing?!

From what you said,  I think you are telling everyone that I am a petty woman who cannot even look over a small argument and would make anyone who went against me vanish. From the moment you spoke up, you were accusing me, what are you going to say next? That I rushed ahead and then chopped your mother up in the forest with a sword?

I did not even see your mother before this just what kind of grudges would I have with her, how can you even think of saying such things to me!"

Qin Mu Yan wanted to say something but before he could Liu Dong Ming who was silently standing on the side stepped forward and then said, " Your majesty if I may," his voice was soft but because his aura was stronger than many he was able to catch the attention of almost everyone in the hunting grounds.

" I think that junior official Qin may or may not have been swept up in his emotions because there is no way he would be insulting the queen of this country by implying that she is a woman who not only had a concubine vanish just because of a small argument but also harmed the mother of the certain concubine just because she was upset?"

With his dark gaze falling on Qin Mu Yan, he added, " Because if he did then he will be considered not only a traitor but he would also be executed right now and here ."
