Detective Ghost Empress

In the eyes of the world, she was someone who would smile like a blooming flower when she saw him but in reality, she was only pretending to be nice to him all because she didn’t want anyone to realise her true face behind all that elegance that she showed in the presence of others.

In her eyes, he was the one who snatched everything from her, even when he didn’t ask master Liu to adopt him as his son– Liu Hui Ying always blamed him because he was easier to bully rather than her father who was behind the decision of adopting him.

So, when the maid allowed him to come inside the courtyard, Liu Yuyang was shocked. He only came because his adoptive father told him that Liu Hui Ying suffered after being married off to the imperial palace, even though in his heart he thought that Liu Hui Ying deserved it very much he still told his adoptive father that he will go and see her. He thought that she will turn him around now that she was married in the palace and even became the empress but to his surprise she allowed him to come inside her courtyard.

A part of him thought that something was really weird but he was already here and there was nothing he could do now.

” I greet your majesty,” Liu Yuyang bowed his head in front of Liu Hui Ying already imagining the satisfied look on her face. He believed that Liu Hui Ying will let him kneel on the floor for like another ten minutes or so before allowing him to get up but then he heard her say, ” All right there is no need for such formality, you are my eldest brother...you shouldn’t kneel in front of me like this.”

Liu Yuyang was stunned when he heard her say this but he still raised his head expecting her to sneer at his face, maybe she will taunt him. Maybe she will tell him how she was the one who deserved all of this because she was better than him and that it was his fault that he was the one who took her wealth from her and that he was the one behind the loss of her beloved person.

” I thank your majesty for her grace,” Liu Yuyang thanked Liu Hui Ying with his hands cupped in front of him, he was waiting for her to say something to him, calling this karma for his greed but nothing like that happened. Instead, he watched Liu Hui Ying call Qui Ai as she asked her to bring tea and cakes for him.

” Hmm, what are you sitting there for eldest brother?” Liu Hui Ying asked as she tilted her head and then pointed to the chair in front of her and smiled. “You can sit here, there is no need for you to kneel on the threshold like that.”

.....

Liu Yuyang’s gaze turned wary as he stood up from the place where he was kneeling and then sat in front of Liu Hui Ying.

‘ She must be planning something for me,’ thought Liu Yuyang.

‘ My lottery ticket is here,’ Liu Hui Ying did a happy dance in her head.

” So how have you been, your majesty?” Liu Yuyang tried to make some small talk as he looked at Liu Hui Ying, he kept looking left and right as if he was trying to see any trap that was set in the room but no matter how he looked, nothing seemed to be out of the order.

Liu Hui Ying thought that Liu Yuyang was trying to know about her health and everything that happened to her in the palace so she smiled and then placed the back of her hand on her cheek and then replied, ” Everything is fine, except a few hiccups here and there.”

” I...I see,” Liu Yuyang blinked his eyes in surprise, he was stunned when he heard Liu Hui Ying’s response, should she not ignore him as she has always done before? Why was she suddenly being so nice and chatty with him? He looked around the room and was even more surprised to see that no one was in the room even then Liu Hui Ying was willing to talk to him.

For whom was she pretending?

” Your majesty, has everything good with his majesty?” The emperor must be treating Liu Hui Ying really nicely now that she was proven to be innocent, maybe this was the reason why Liu Hui Ying was in a good mood?

” Why did you have to bring that man up?”

” Huh?” Liu Yuyang looked at the disgusted expression on the face of the queen and then he suddenly knew nothing about anything at all. Who was he? Where was he? What was he doing?

” Cheh, you just have to bring that annoying man up,” Liu Hui Ying clicked her tongue as she placed her elbow on the table and then sniffed in annoyance, it was as if she was really going to get sick at the mention of the Emperor. ” Now I am in no longer any mood to talk with you.”

She was waiting for this man to bring out the egg-sized rubies and whatnots to make her feel better and here he was bringing the Emperor that jerk up. That man not only did he catch her going all crazy, he even saw her lose control and even brought her here to her courtyard causing her allergy to flare up.

Her weak points were getting known to him one by one and she was really not happy about it!
