Detective Ghost Empress-Chapter 457: Give her to me ——2

" What are you doing here?" Zhai Tianyu was stunned when he saw Ji Yu entering the carriage he looked at her and then turned his head to look at the carriage in which Liu Hui Ying was sitting and only sighed in relief when he saw that the curtain of that carriage was drawn.

If his queen saw him alone with another woman, then he will have to jump into the yellow river to wash himself clean because he knew that even if he was to hold out his hand and swear that he was not in the wrong, his Queen will not listen to a word that came out of his mouth.

Ji Yu looked at his sneaky actions and felt her lips twitch, it was a good thing that she came to a realisation towards her own feelings and understood that she only admired Zhai Tianyu because of her father and grandaunt and nothing more or else she would be crying tears of blood right now.

She sighed and then with a light-hearted cough replied, " What do you mean by what am I doing here? aren't I here to share a ride with you because my aunt sent me here? She is upset with what happened with father which is why she wants to keep the facade of you doting on me even more than before."

Zhai Tianyu rolled his eyes and then scoffed, " Isn't it the fault of your father this time?" As he thought about how Ji Yang depended on making other women serve his father to gain the position in which he was sitting right now, he felt sick, truly sick. He raised his head and looked at Ji Yu who was silently looking at him and asked, " What are your thoughts about what happened?"

Ji Yu sighed and then replied in a soft voice, " If I were to speak the truth, I honestly feel embarrassed.

I do understand his need and the drive of being the one at the top but the way he craved that path makes me sick." She turned and looked at her father who was speaking with one of the high-ranking officials and pursed her lips as she continued speaking, " I never knew that the pride and respect that my family receive were stained with the blood and tears of many."

She sighed and added, " Even though the Liu family is the same, they never hid their actions. Their sins are open to the world and thus they face their condemnation which they receive from others outright though they are protected by left prime minister Liu, at least we all know that they are not innocent as they seem."

But the innocence that she was so arrogant about was tainted, after finding out what her father did to Official Qin's wife, Ji Yu felt as if the pure white cotton dress that she adored had been stained with blood. It made her disgusted to the point where she wished she could throw it away but the dress was now sticking to her skin after wearing it with pride for so long.

If she was to strip off it, she would bleed too.

Ji Yu shook her head and then turned to look at Zhai Tianyu and asked, " But why are you not sitting with the queen? If you were with the Queen then I would not have to come and sit with you, your majesty."

" She does not wish to sit with me," Zhai Tianyu sighed as he dropped the curtain of his carriage and then turned to look down at his hands. " She said that if she was to sit with me she will…anyway" he paused when he realised that he almost gave Liu Hui Ying's secret away and changed the topic. " How are you doing, consort?"

The sudden change in topic caught Ji Yu off guard as she narrowed her charming eyes which were covered with a glassy layer and then asked, " What are you hiding, your majesty?"

Zhai Tianyu frowned as he replied, " What will I hide? I am hiding nothing at all." He pretended to act as if he had been accused but then he heard Ji Yu say in a light voice, " To think that the queen is not travelling with you in the same carriage, it's as if she is allergic to you. If not what kind of woman would not like staying in the same carriage as you, your majesty."

As she spoke she eyed Zhai Tianyu carefully and sure enough caught the light twitching of his little finger and smirked, " So her majesty is allergic to men?"

This was something she was doubtful of ever since she saw how Liu Hui Ying did not pay attention to Zhai Tianyu and simply ignored him all the time. At first, she thought that she was only doing this to gain Zhai Tianyu's attention but now that Ji Yu was no longer as obsessed with Zhai Tianyu as she was in the past she could see that Liu Hui Ying genuinely did not care about Zhai Tianyu at all.

It was not a facade but her true personality.

Zhai Tianyu stiffened when he heard Ji Yu's remark and then said in a hurried voice, " Who…? Who said that? The queen is perfectly fine."

" There is no need to hide anymore, your majesty," Ji Yu smirked as she looked at Zhai Tianyu who was acting like a cat whose tail had been stepped on and then snorted. " You might not know this but I was suspicious of this matter for a very long time. And do you think that you can lie to me? I am your childhood friend for years, I can see through you in a glance."

Zhai Tianyu's anger deflated at once as he looked at Ji Yu and then like a child who was caught making a mistake he said, " Consort do not tell this to the Queen, she will surely be very upset if she finds out."

" Oh but I don't want to, your majesty," Ji Yu grinned as she added in a light voice, " After all, now that I am no longer against the queen. I can see that she is really beautiful... if she is allergic to men why don't I take her?"
