Detective Ghost Empress

329 If the queen is dethroned

” No matter how many times you ask me this question, my answer will remain the same,” Zhai Tianyu stated firmly, he knew he was being selfish. It was not wrong of Ji Yu to ask him to sleep with her since it was indeed her right, she had as much right on him as Liu Hui Ying did but he could not—— he could not bring himself to do something like sleeping with two women whom he cared about fall in a mess of strife and struggle because of him.

But he was certain that it was already too late for that even if Liu Hui Ying did not care about Ji Yu, he knew that Ji Yu will not be able to sit still after this.

” Even if it means that I will not forgive you, your majesty?” Ji Yu questioned as she looked at him with her tear-soaked face that stared right at him with a lot of questions, complaints and emotions that he never bothered to look at before. ” Even if you have to be hated by me for the rest of your life will you still choose to do this?”

There was a long pause as the gloomy wind rustled past them and the clouds over their head thundered as if they warning Ji Yu to not continue with what she was moving onwards, it was a long time after Zhai Tianyu opened his lips and that too to only spat one word,

” Yes.”

Ji Yu stumbled as she dropped her hands to the sides and looked at the man with a dumbstruck look on her face, she looked like a woman who has lost the ground from below her feet as she looked at Zhai Tianyu and asked,” Why? Why would you choose her but not me? Why choose to be hated by me and then stay with me for a night? She would not even know that we shared a bed! she would not even care if you give me your body! Because she does not care about you, Tianyu! No one will know other than the two of us! So why are you refusing me? It’s a small thing! If you only give me one night of all the nights that you are going to share with her, I can spend the rest of my life happily with just the memories of us together intertwined, so why do you have to refuse!”

As she questioned Zhai Tianyu, Ji Yu lost her mind as she clutched the front of his robes and shook him like she has gone crazy. ” I have done so much for you, can’t you do something like this for me? I am not asking for the throne of the empress, Tianyu! I am asking for you to love me, only for a night! I have loved you for years! Only to ask for one night, so why…why..why…WHY!”

Ji Yu screamed at Zhai Tianyu’s face, her scream full of despair and heartbreak, the robe that she was holding onto was now torn because of how much pressure she applied to it but Zhai Tianyu stayed calm from the beginning till the end as he reached his hands up and caught her wrists.

Ji Yu expected that he would hug her to calm her down but instead, he pulled her hands off his robe and then dropped them to her sides as he looked down at her with a blank expression and said, ” I apologize for breaking your heart, consort but I can’t do it. You are right, the queen will not know anything.”

.....

” Then why——”

” Because I will know and if I sleep with you then I will never touch her .,…. I will not be able to touch her, for it will be like tainting her. So, please forgive me,” he muttered as he walked past Ji Yu leaving the latter to breathe harshly as she looked at the front with disbelief in her eyes. But then she whirled around on her feet and then shouted loudly, ” I will not care about your majesty if you walk out of this garden lest you not promise me!”

However, Zhai Tianyu did not stop, he continued to walk briskly and without a pause made Ji Yu feel like her chest was constricting as she once again took a step forward and shouted, ” I will hate you, your majesty. Do you want that ?”

” I would rather have you hate me consort than follow along with the wishes that you have put forward in front of me, since I cannot fulfil them then you might as well hate me till I am burning in hell maybe that way I will pay for my sins of not looking at your feelings carefully if I did then I would have stopped you when you were falling for me helplessly.” Zhai Tianyu answered without looking back as he rushed past the path while Ji Yu stayed at the wooden arch bridge that was situated at the pond in the garden.

Seeing him leave like this Ji Yu felt like she was falling—-falling into an abyss that she would not be able to climb out of. No, No…I cannot lose him too. If he leaves me, what will I do? How will Iive?

He is the only one who cares about me, the only one who does not judge me …one who stayed with me all along. Not him …I cannot lose him.

Ji Yu thought helplessly in her head as she finally opened her mouth and said, ” Even if the Queen is dethroned? Will you still choose her?”
