Chapter 34

34 Taking care of the grand dowager Empress

Liu Hui Ying took a deep breath and crushed her desire to chop the neck of the Emperor as much as she hated him, there was nothing that she could do to him. If she so much as touched him, Liu Hui Ying was afraid that she will have to see the sight of her chopped butt before dying, so for the sake of dying beautifully, she chose to magnanimously ignore the Emperor.

Out of sight, out of mind!

” Grand Empress Dowager, what do you have to say?” Liu Hui Ying asked as she turned her attention to the old woman, as long as the person in front of her was a woman, no matter how scheming and despicable she was, Liu Hui Ying was confident in controlling her temper.

She placed a hand on her bosom and solemnly spoke to the grand dowager Empress. ” Everyone knows about the beads of bloodwood, its impossible for me to harm anyone with it, if you still do not trust me then you can send the word out that you have given the beads to me, I believe then even if I am planning something, it would not come to fruition, isn’t that right?”

Liu Hui Ying was indeed right, they could always stop her from doing something like sending the beads of the bloodwood to someone else after all, but if she didn’t want the beads for the sake of harming someone, why was she asking for the beads?

” Very well,” though the grand dowager Empress was indeed confused by the peculiar request of Liu Hui Ying, she wanted to see what the latter was planning. After all, they all know very well that no one from the Liu family would do things without any benefit in return, sooner or later Liu Hui Ying will show her vixen tail and they just have to make sure to catch it on time. ” I agree, I will give you the beads of bloodwood, but do remember Empress if you do not hold the side of your promise then you cannot blame me.”

” Of course, I won’t do something like that Grand Dowager Empress,” said Liu Hui Ying as she pushed herself off the chair and stood up before walking towards the Grand Dowager Empress.

Seeing Liu Hui Ying walk towards the Grand Dowager Empress, Nanny Gong placed the back of her hand on her forehead and grimaced slightly, ” Little Ai, why do I see the light?”

Qui Ai heard nanny Gong’s words and was terrified, she immediately caught hold of the elderly woman’s arm and said, ” No, Nanny Gong! Don’t go into the light...just wait for a while we all will go into the light in a while, I don’t want to leave alone, I am scared!”

.....

“It’s just a figure of speech!” seeing that Qui Ai was taking her words seriously Nanny Gong immediately snatched her hand back from her, when did she say that she was willing to die? What idiot said that, she was still too young to die damn it!

The two of them bantered as softly as possible but Liu Hui Ying heard everything that they were saying with her sharp senses, though she was smiling, her entire face was stiff as she walked towards the grand dowager Empress.

” They really have no confidence in you, do they?” said Li Gang, his eyes filled with amusement as he looked at the two women who were muttering behind them. ” Well, you don’t really look reliable....”

” If you want to starve today then you can continue that sentence you know?” Liu Hui Ying didn’t get angry at Li Gang instead she smiled dashingly at him, which only made him fly and hide behind Grandma Lan Fen who shook her head and chided him lightly, ” If you cannot go against her, why do you even try to do it?”

” Who says that I can’t go against her? I ...I totally can go against her...” though he said that his voice was quivering making Grandma Lan Fen sympathise with the young ghost, he was once the thug boss of his group but now he was scared of a young woman after his death.

What a pity.

Liu Hui Ying didn’t pay any attention to her ghost servants, she already knew that the three had no good feelings for her, and paying attention to these three might just get her blood pressure high.

” Then please ignore my rudeness, your majesty,” said Liu Hui Ying as she came to a stop in front of the Grand dowager Empress who was sitting on the sit of head and then crouched down such that she was at eye level with the elderly woman.

Seeing Liu Hui Ying get so close to his grandmother, Zhai Tinayu was scared out of his wits, though he sat in his seat and remained unmoved, Ji Yu could see that his fists were clenched tightly in his sleeves. She patted him on the back of his hands before turning her head and motioning to her maid to move closer to the Empress, in case the Empress tried anything then her maid would be able to intervene.

Ji Yu’s maid was called Xiao Bai, when she noticed that her mistress was asking her to keep an eye on the Empress, she nodded her head and then moved ever so slightly so that she was able to see what the Empress was doing.

Of course, Liu Hui Ying also noticed the changes that just took place, as a detective her senses were more alert than anyone in the room. She didn’t avoid the gaze of the maid who was looking at her instead she calmly placed her hands on the shoulders of the grand dowager Empress.

To others it looked right she was simply putting her hands on the shoulders of the grand dowager Empress but only Liu Hui Ying and her ghosts knew that she was actually holding the wrists of the ghost woman who was using the grand dowager Empress as her anchor to this world.

Liu Hui Ying smiled at the ghost woman who looked shocked at the sight of Liu Hui Ying being able to hold her but then her shock turned into pain when Liu Hui Ying instilled her spiritual energy and wrenched the hands of the ghost woman away.
