Detective Ghost Empress-Chapter 261 - 261 either she wakes up or I die

261 either she wakes up or I die

Zhai Tianyu walked out of the courtyard, his face was still sombre and as he turned his head to look at Zhai Heng and Yu Lingyun who were standing next to the door of the courtyard after walking out, the two felt a shiver dance down their spines simultaneously. Zhai Tianyu was a man who did not get angry but when he did, he will be worse than a monster who was out for blood, seeing him glance at them with those eyes that were filled with several whirlpools, Yu Lingyun was too scared to even utter a peep.

Even Zhai Heng did not dare to say anything, he knew that Zhai Tianyu was angry. Just now he heard his mother scream at Zhai Tianyu for not appointing a guard for the daughters of the Liu family, what the Dowager Empress did not know was that Zhai Tianyu has indeed given the order to appoint personal guards to the daughters of the Liu family, it was just that the order was intercepted by someone from the Ji family and could not be followed.

Zhai Tianyu was not in favour of the Liu family but it did not mean he would kill without holding back.

” Come with me,” he told the two of them and even though Yu Lingyun wanted to speak up for Zhai Heng, he knew that now was not the time which was why even though he thought that Zhai Tianyu was getting angry for no reason, he followed Zhai Tianyu calmly and even turned to pat Zhai Heng on his shoulder as he said confidently, ” Don’t worry, your brother will protect you.”

Zhai Heng simply looked at Yu Lingyun and did not say anything, he did not trust a word this man said because he knew that Yu Lingyun was even more of a coward when he was in front of an angry Zhai Tianyu than he was, which was why he was not at all bothered by Yu Lingyun’s determined words for he knew that the man would be the first to run away later on.

Sure enough, as soon as the two of them reached Zhai Tianyu’s study hall and the latter turned around to face them Yu Lingyun very smoothly hit behind Zhai Heng, seeing him act like this Zhai Heng was thoroughly speechless, he looked at the man who was acting like a coward and then said, ” Did you not say that you will be protecting me?”

” I am acting as your biggest backing!” Yu Lingyun exclaimed shamelessly as if he did not hide behind Zhai Heng like a child who was worried that he will be bullied.

Zhai Heng: “…..” What wonderful backing.

” What happened?” Zhai Tianyu’s voice was very low as he turned to look at Zhai Heng who was standing in front of him. He knew that he should not blame his brother but he could not control his anger after seeing the deathly white complexion and laboured breathing of Liu Hui Ying. f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮

.....

His brother was with Liu Hui Ying, he knew his brother too well and he understood him enough to know that after he rushed out of the study, he must have gone to look for the Queen. So, what he could not understand was how was it possible for Liu Hui Ying to get hurt when Zhai Heng was with her.

” Why is it that the queen got hurt when she was with you, elder brother?” Zhai Tianyu did not want to question Zhai Heng but he couldn’t stop himself from doubting his big brother. He was with Liu Hui Ying yet he somehow still got her to be injured, was it because he did not care about Liu Hui Ying or was it because he wanted to take Liu Hui Ying down when the opportunity presented it in front of himself? f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢

Zhai Heng knew that his brother was suspecting him but he did not say anything after all his actions were indeed doubtful which was why he sighed and then looked at Zhai Tianyu before he patiently started to explain everything that happened in the courtyard that belonged to the consort Su.

” I did not think that something will attack her when my back was turned, in fact, I took a good look around the vicinity and did not see anything or anyone, I am still surprised that she was attacked,” Zhai Heng explained everything thoroughly, he was not lying when he said that he checked the vicinity. His martial arts were as good as Zhai Tianyu and he was not someone who would make such a rookie mistake which was why he was surprised when he saw Liu Hui Ying drowning with a huge wound on the back of her head.

Zhai Tianyu’s expression changed when he heard his big brother’s reply, he clenched his finger and looked at Zhai Heng before he said, ” Are you saying that something inhuman was hiding in that courtyard?”

” I can’t be sure but you know it’s impossible for me not to detect anything and even if I did not detect it, it was not possible for Liu Hui Ying and her ghosts servants to not sense anything, if they were harmed to this degree I think whoever it was behind this incident, he or she may or may not be human.”

His words caused the entire study to fall into a cold silence, Zhai Tianyu cracked his knuckles as he clenched his fists while Yu Lingyun started to shiver.

” Not human?” Yu Lingyun turned around and looked at the walls of the room as if he was expecting something inhuman to pop out. ” We used to fight humans and now we have to fight non-humans too? You mean to say someone from our enemy side contracted a non-human?” He asked Zhai Heng and Zhai Tianyu, neither of them spoke but their expressions turned bitter.

As Yu Lingyun thought about what will happen in the future, his eyes widened as he turned to look at Zhai Heng and Zhai Tianyu before he shrieked, ” If her majesty does not wake up, then we all will be dead? No, we have to wake her up!” He pulled the skin off his face and then rushed out screaming, ” I will make sure that either she wakes up or I die!”

Facing ghosts? He will rather chuck himself off a cliff!
