Detective Ghost Empress

Liu Hui Ying closed her eyes, she pulled her head down and raised her shoulders as if shying away from the man in front of her. And she did not shy away from men. Never.

A shudder rolled off her body which Liu Hui Ying couldn't ignore even if she wanted to as it made goosebumps rise all over her arms and legs. Nausea. It was definitely nausea. She thought to herself.

Liu Hui Ying wasn't sure what she was doing by closing her eyes and raising one of her arms in a weak resistance. She could totally send this man who snuck in her bath when she was almost naked flying, so why was she acting like some damn damsel in distress?

The thought snapped her out of her daze as Liu Hui Ying's eyes flickered open, she was about to give that man a piece of her mind or two but as soon as she turned to face him, Zhai Tianyu was gone.

It was as if he was never there.

"What the——" Liu Hui Ying looked down at her arms and sure enough there was no allergic reaction. That means…That means…she imagined all of this that happened just now? A furious blush scattered over Liu Hui Ying's face as she let out a yell. Continue your journey at M-V-L

This cannot be happening!

Her scream was so loud that forget about Nanny Gong and Xiao Ai even the guards outside were startled. They looked at one another before turning to look at the cold palace.

"Who screamed so wretchedly?" One of the guards asked as he looked inside the courtyard of the cold palace. His brows furrowed. " It sounded like a ghostly mourn."

The other guard rubbed his arms and then said to his partner, "Don't say that, do you think that our duty is not hard enough already? That palace is one of the most cursed places that I have ever been…have you forgotten this is the place most of the concubines and Empresses killed themselves."

The guard who was peeking inside the cold palace immediately pulled his head back and rubbed the back of his neck instinctively as if it was his neck that was on the line like the many Empresses and the concubines.

"You are right," the guard said with a sigh. "We shouldn't bother ourselves with this matter, no matter who screamed it had nothing——" The guard couldn't finish his words as there was another screeching scream which was even harsher than the one earlier which caused the two of them to stiffen.

A tremor shook their bodies as they looked at one another with tears in their eyes. Who told them to become guards of the Imperial Palace damn it! It was so scary!

Inside the palace,

Liu Hui Ying was clutching her chest with one hand while the other hand was smashing at the spot where her heart was, her tears seemed to have dried up long ago which was why she could not shed any more tears but that did not mean that she was not crying. She was…she was crying like she had nothing more left to live.

"Your majesty, what happened to you? Why are you crying like this?" Nanny Gong could not understand what was going on as Liu Hui Ying only went to take a bath but she suddenly started crying. Did the boils hurt too much? That should not be the case.

Nanny Gong wiped Liu Hui Ying and then dressed her before working on her hair as she dry sobbed. On the other hand, Xiao Ai fanned Liu Hui Ying as she was worried that Liu Hui Ying would end up staying in the hot water for too long. Her skin was red as a tomato after all.

The two women of course had no idea that the reason Liu Hui Ying was red as a tomato was because, in the twenty-nine years of her life, she had her first spring dream! And that too comprising of a man. A MAN!

Liu Hui Ying felt like she had lost all of her face, how could she…how could she…

"My life going to end," Liu Hui Ying cried again which only worried Nanny Gong and Xiao Ai. What was up with her majesty?

Fortunately for the two of them, Eunuch Li who followed Zhai Tianyu arrived at the cold Palace with the imperial decree.

" The Empress, Liu Hui Ying please take this decree!" Eunuch Li announced in a loud and shrill voice putting a stop to Liu Hui Ying's crying as she pushed herself off the bed and walked outside.

Though Liu Hui Ying wanted to shed a few more nonexistent tears for her mental virginity that she almost lost by having a spiring dream of Zhai Tianyu, she also wanted to get out of this place. The bed was too hard and the entire room was too freaking cold, she was almost on the verge of freezing some days if not for the Yin Energy that she used to control the temperature of the room.

She needed to get out of this palace. Now. And that man better had sent the imperial decree to have her get rid of this place or else she was going to teach him a good lesson.

However since she did not want to hurt him, he better be careful with her. Liu Hui Ying might not want to hurt him but she would hurt him if he messed with her when she was in such a shitty mood.

"Your majesty," Eunuch Li smiled at her with a polite attitude which made Liu Hui Ying curl the side of her lips as she said, " You are back to your servile attitude, Eunuch Li."

Eunuch Li who was caught shivered as he lowered his back even more. He cursed his luck as he had thought that Liu Hui Ying would not be back so soon and acted like a big shot when she was sent to the cold palace, if he had known that she would be back so soon… he would have been polite with her.
