Detective Ghost Empress

The Grand Dowager Empress also did not expect that something like this would happen, when she suggested Zhai Tianyu take Ji Yu with him in the carriage instead of the Queen, she thought that she was going to make the records even with the Liu family who would have thought that the foolish boy would actually agree to Liu Dong Ming when the man asked him to go ahead and live with the Queen in the same tent.

If this was the past, the grand dowager Empress would have thrown a fuss in front of Zhai Tianyu.

Every time this grandson of hers went against her, she shed tears of blood and pain, crying her eyes out as she blamed the Liu family for killing her son but The Grand Dowager Empress was no fool, she knew that there were some changes in the heart of Zhai Tianyu which had tipped his heart into the favour of the Liu family.

Whether those changes were because of Liu Hui Ying blowing air on his pillow or Ji Yu failing to fulfil her role as the childhood sweetheart of the Emperor, the Grand Dowager Empress did not care. She only cared about one thing and that was —— for the Emperor to be always under her.

Only when Zhai Tianyu who had the blood of her husband and the great emperors of the past of this imperial city was standing next to her, will she be able to make sure that her son would get the justice that he deserved and that was only possible when she makes sure that there was no Empress from the Liu family along with the entire Liu family to be completely annihilated and destroyed to the point where they will not be able to revive ever again!

She needed to make sure that she had them all executed in front of her son's grave where their blood seeped through the floor of the graveyard and into the coffin of her son, only then will she be able to rest in peace. She did not care how Zhai Tianyu stayed in her palm as long as she had her grasp on him, The Grand Dowager Empress was willing to go to any lengths!

So what if she had to pin the blame for the Queen's death on her grandson? As long as she wiped it clean nicely in the future? Who can say anything to her grandson?

Ji Yu raised her head and looked at her grandaunt in surprise and shock, how can the grand dowager Empress even think of this plan? If his majesty was questioned about the death of the Queen, she was sure that he will have a lot of trouble since the Liu family will not stay silent!

" But grandaunt, if we do this…do you think that the Liu family will stop making a fuss?" Ji Yu tried to make the grand dowager Empress see the truth and stop her madness lest she did something that might ruin every single one of them. " Even pinning the blame on the Emperor is not right——"

" Shut up, you useless jinx!" Ji Yu was still speaking when she was interrupted by her father who glared at her with eyes that were spewing fire while her brother chuckled appreciatively as if enjoying seeing his sister being condemned and scolded. " You cannot keep the Emperor in your hands and now you are teaching us what we should and should not do?

Stay put like the trash you are and let us think of a way to solve this matter! Do you even know how troublesome it will be if that woman gained any more power than she already had?" He then turned to look at his aunt and then said politely,

" What do you have in mind aunt? Just tell me, I will make sure to do it properly." Ji Yang swore in front of his aunt while the grand dowager Empress stared at Ji Yu who was clenching her fingers, her eyes flickered as her gaze became more and more disappointed when she saw that her niece was this naive.

She had thought that her niece was smarter than her and was just like her when she was young but looks like her plan of making her niece fall in love with Zhai Tianyu seemed to have backfired, this girl was actually becoming more and more soft-hearted!

This won't do, she needed to reignite the hatred that Ji Yu once had for the Liu family or else she was worried that the one who will be standing on the losing side would be her family!

The grand dowager Empress turned to look at her nephew and then very calmly stated, " I believe that I have given a wonderful poison to your daughter, Ah Yang.

Make sure to use it with the bathing water of the queen, it is said to change its property when it is mixed with hot water and when the water turns cold, it will lose all its properties and become nothing but a mild flower with a scent that smells too sweet."

She then turned to look at Ji Yu who was biting her bottom lips and then smiled before adding, " I was going to hand this task to Ji Yu but looks like she is a bit too scared which is why … it's better to hand it to Xiaolin."

Ji Yu snapped her head as she looked at her aunt, she wanted to shake her head and refuse.

She did not want Xiaolin, that innocent maid of hers to do anything so dangerous—— the girl was still young and she had never done something like this before, if something happens to her or if she was caught Ji Yu knew that her Xiaolin would not be able to even get out of the situation since she was so innocent.

But before she could refuse she heard her father agreeing on her place, " You are right, it's only right for Ji Yu to fight for her spot if we stand up for her. I am afraid that we will drag the entire Ji family down with us."

' But what if I don't want to stand up for the fight for a spot that I don't want?

I don't want to be the queen and I don't want to kill the Queen either … all I want is Tianyu!' Ji Yu thought in her head but she did not get a chance to say anything as Ji Yang turned to look at her and clicked his tongue before he turned to look at Ji Mo and said, " Go and bring her maid, and you… " he turned to the guard who was standing on the outside causing the latter to flinch as he turned to look at Ji Yang and bowed his head,

" You called my lord?" The guard asked in a polite voice as he tried to keep his voice firm and not tremble in front of Ji Yang lest the man lost his mind.

Ji Yang hummed as he pointed to his daughter and said to the guard, " Make sure that my stupid daughter stays in her tent and does not come out, make use of force if you have to but make her stay inside and knock her out in case she tries to get too freaky."

Ji Yu's pupils shivered when she heard the words of her father, she knew that her father was serious and because she failed to keep the heart of his majesty, he was punishing her by sending Xiao Lin to do such a dangerous task. If she succeeded without a problem, she was sure that her father will let her go but in case she failed —— Ji Yu did not want to think about it.

She scrambled to her feet and then bowed in front of her while tugging her father's sleeves as she cried and begged, " Please father, please leave Xiao Lin alone. I promise that I will work hard… I will make sure to win the heart of his majesty again but please…please don't send Xiao Lin to the tent of his majesty. If she is caught, she will be killed on the spot!"

Just the thought alone was enough to make tears fill Xiao Lin's eyes as she tried to plead with her father.

But Ji Yang was a sinister man even if he smiled on the surface he was a man whose heart was colder than ice, the tears of his daughter did not even melt the tip of his ice-berg-like heart as he flicked his sleeves and then threw Ji Yu on the ground causing the latter's head to hit the edge of the stool that was sitting in the corner and sneered at his daughter whose forehead was now bleeding.

Without the slightest bit of remorse, he wiped the dust off his sleeves and then coldly said, " Then I hope that you keep praying, in case your maid is just as useless as you then she has no right to stay alive either!

If you were not my daughter then you too would have ——humph." He flicked his sleeves and then turned to leave asking the grand dowager Empress to walk ahead of him while Ji Mo followed the two elders and snickered at his bleeding sister whose face was covered in tears, " Useless c*nt just like your mother." He commented as he walked out of the tent.
