Detective Ghost Empress

After she was done Xiao Lin stepped aside at the back of the tent where the exit was, even though she did not think that there was anything that will go wrong at this point, she still wanted to have a way out left for her lest she was caught.

Liu Hui Ying did not have any idea that someone was trying to poison her, she was currently sitting on the bed while being fanned by little Lin who was trying to keep Liu Hui Ying's temper and temperature both down. But was failing miserably as Liu Hui Ying tossed and turned with her cheeks inflamed,

" How is this possible? Why am I feeling this sweaty?" Liu Hui Ying who was teased by Zhai Tianyu was fuming, she had never felt like this before because no man had ever dared to tease her like this in the past, she still could not accept in her mind that the reason she was sweating crazily was because that man used his seduction technique on her!

" Just accept that the Emperor caused you to be blown away," Jia Li teased Liu Hui Ying as she sat on the bed enjoying the sight of Liu Hui Ying looking so distressed. " Maybe you might even fall in love with him?"

" Li Gang shut the mouth of this woman." Liu Hui Ying deadpanned as she looked at Jia Li who was smirking a bit too wildly, she expected this from Li Gang but was surprised that Jia Li was the one who was trying to tease her.

Liu Hui Ying thought that Li Gang will take the opportunity that presented itself in front of him at once but instead, he stayed focused on something which caused Liu Hui Ying to turn and look at him,

" What are you doing?" She asked when she saw Li Gang who was standing at the side of the bed while sniffing the air like he was a guard dog. " Are you trying to sniff out bitc*es in heat or what?"

" Can you ever be not sarcastic with me?" Li Gang snapped at her as he turned to look at the woman and rolled his eyes at her. " I smell poison and death which is why I am whiffing the air."

Li Gang's nose was better than the rest since he worked in a gang where he had to smell and deduce which drug was the true deal and which was not, when he died his sense of smell amplified and he could smell everything better than the rest.

As soon as Liu Hui Ying heard his words all sense of humour died from her eyes as she sat up straight on the bed scaring Little Lin so much that she dropped the fan on the floor.

" Y...Your majesty, have I made a mistake?" The maid asked while she trembled like a tragic heroine who was caught by the villain and was on the verge of losing her virtue.

Liu Hui Ying  stared at her speechlessly before she turned around and slid off the bed she aksed Li Gang, "From where do you smell poison?"

" Behind the wooden divider," the man answered as he pointed to the wooden divider which was exquisitely carved and then added, " I cannot smell it properly but the thing is that the scent is covered with so many scented oils that I can hardly smell it clearly." He was trying to tell Liu Hui Ying that he was not the one at fault here!

Liu Hui Ying narrowed her eyes as she walked over to the wooden divider, seeing her go to the bathing space little Lin thought that Liu Hui Ying was in a hurry to take a bath and so did Nanny Gong and Xiao Ai who were preparing the bath.

While Nanny Gong was putting flower petals in the water and Xiao Ai was choosing scented oil the two saw Liu Hui Ying come towards them and hurriedly put the things away, as Nanny Gong said,  " The bath is almost ready your majesty. If you want then you can enter the bath now, I know that you are sweaty and in a hurry to take a bath, Xiao Ai can put the scented oil later on."

" Thats right, your majesty, you can sit down in the bathing vessel," said Xiao Ai as she placed the porcelain bottles inside the wooden box having chosen a seductive rose scent which will help her missy seduce his majesty and make him rue the day he refused to take her missy's first night.

[ Zhai Tianyu: I am already regretting it there is no need for you to do this, Xiao Ai.]

" I will put the scented oil now and then you can take a bath," said Xiao Ai as she walked towards the bathing vessel but her hand was caught by Liu Hui Ying who was staring at the steaming water.

In the eyes of others, it was normal bathing water but in Liu Hui Ying's eyes, the water was laced with black qi so potent that she knew if she was to even touch the water she might die right here and now!

" Who did this?" She asked as she raised her head and then looked at the group of maids who seemed to have been scared stiff as they all turned to look at each other and then back at the queen whose expression was completely different from the one that she usually wore.

Normally their missy will be calm and quiet without saying anything to them and it was only with Nanny Gong and the rest whom she will show off her teasing side but this time her eyes were coldly staring at her like she wanted to eat them alive causing the maids to shiver in fright under her cold aura.

Especially, Xiao Lin. She had never seen the queen like this …in her eyes, the queen was different from her missy and had no virtue of being the queen but now that she stood in front of the queen with an invisible pressure pressing on her shoulders, she realised what the dignity of an Empress meant.
