239 Nanny Gong and Little Ai, the little assistants

” I do not have such thoughts,” Zhai Tianyu stiffened under the glaring eyes of his brother but he still stubbornly raised his head and did not falter under the stern gaze of his brother as he said, ” You already know that I do not see the Queen as a woman, the only reason I am willing to do this is that I do not wish to stab my people in the back.”

” Your people?” Zhai Heng was so angry that he laughed out loud, his calm face for the first time twisted into a sneer as he looked at his brother with little fires burning within his eyes. ” That woman’s uncle and aunt were behind the murder of our father and yet you are saying that she is one of your people? Why did I not know that you were this big-hearted Tianyu? Or is it that your heart only got this big for that woman?”

” She is your queen!” Zhai Tianyu reminded Zhai Heng in a low voice as he looked at the man who was contradicting him while showing his contempt for Liu Hui Ying so blatantly.

” I do not accept her as my queen!” Zhai Heng felt his heart burn, he did not understand why he was not liking the idea of Zhai Tianyu getting closer to the Queen, but when he heard that Zhai Tianyu was indeed making certain changes in his plans because of the Queen, he did not like it at all. ” She is not my queen, she was given that throne because she was supposed to die! Your majesty, you are befriending your enemy, I hope that you will not regret this!”

After speaking Zhai Heng did not give Zhai Tianyu a chance to say anything he turned around and then walked out of the room leaving Zhai Tianyu alone with Yu Lingyun who was just as annoyed with Zhai Tianyu’s actions but was trying his best to stay cordial. Seeing Zhai Heng leave Yu Lingyun took a deep breath and then turned to look at Zhai Tianyu who was seated on the seat of the Emperor and said, ” I understand that you are attracted to the Queen——”

“I am not attracted to the Queen,” Zhai Tianyu replied crossly interrupting Yu Lingyun who was speaking to him as if he understood him better than he understood himself.

” There is no need to get angry, your majesty,” Yu Lingyun raised his hands in the air with an innocent expression on his face as he looked at Zhai Tianyu and said, ” You are not as experienced in these affairs as me nor do you understand women that well, but I still want to warn you, your majesty. You need to carefully and very delicately think whether or not you are doing this because you are interested in the Queen or because you are just intrigued by her powers.” f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦

” Because if you make a mistake determining your own feeling there is a chance that you will lose something way more important.” As Yu Lingyun finished speaking, he turned on his heel and then walked out of the room, leaving Zhai Tianyu to ponder in silence alone.

” Your majesty, where are you going?” Qui Ai who came out of the courtyard with Liu Hui Ying was truly surprised by the skills of her majesty. Her majesty when dressed as a woman looked like a rose growing in the lone garden with cold dew collected on its petals but now that she was dressed as a man she looked just as good-looking as his majesty!

If not for the fact that she knew that this was her missy, she would have fallen in love with her already!

” Shh, little Ai stop making a fuss like this, if someone hears that you are talking about her majesty then they will be suspicious of us three,” Nanny Gong who was beside Qui Ai immediately hissed at the little girl who was speaking out of the context.

” Oops sorry!” Qui Ai immediately apologised as she deepened her voice to that of a man and asked, ” Is this okay?”

” Now you are acting like a man!” Nanny Gong nodded making the long white beard that was sticking to her chin flutter.

” Why are they here again?” Jia Li asked as she looked at the two women who were following after Liu Hui Ying and asked in a low voice, ” What made them come here and why did you even agree to their requests?”

Liu Hui Ying was feeling upset, it was not that she wanted to drag Qui Ai and Nanny Gong with her but the two of them did not listen to a thing that she has to say and insisted to come with her. Ever since they found out that she was working as the private investigator of the Emperor, the two were worried that she will get caught in a mess which was why they wanted to stick closer to Liu Hui Ying.

She was used to working with the dead and did not like the idea of being followed by the living—— she has been so lonely and was so used to doing things on her own that she completely forgot how it felt to have someone by her side, which was she wanted to refuse nanny Gong and Qui Ai, who were bent on coming with her.

But Nanny Gong simply sat on the ground and then sprawled on the floor saying that if Liu Hui Ying was to leave her and Qui Ai alone and take this dangerous task alone then she will have to stab her in the heart and leave because she was not going to let Liu Hui Ying leave alone.

In Nanny Gong’s words ‘ If her majesty gets caught we can help you by distracting others and you can run away, if you can’t then we might as well die protecting you than stay here and do nothing but watch you get executed. If you die we will die as well, if you live then so will we.’

This was the first time Liu Hui Ying was so touched by someone’s loyalty, that she couldn’t stop Nanny Gong. But at the same time, she was very jealous, if she had someone like nanny Gong and Qui Ai in the modern world then her life would never have been so difficult.

All her life she craved for someone to save her, care about her and love her with all their sincerity but the woman who had all of this, gave up on her life so easily, if it has been her …she would have fought to stay alive no matter what.
