Detective Ghost Empress-Chapter 491: The start of investigation

Liu Hui Ying spent the rest of the day thinking of a plan. While she was lost in her own world, she did not know that sometimes she ended up frowning while sometimes she rubbed her hair violently.

Her actions were normal in the eyes of the five ghosts as she did it a lot when she was busy thinking of a plan but in the eyes of Nanny Gong and Xiao Ai, their poor mistress had gone crazy because of the sudden abandonment.

They looked at Liu Hui Ying through the small gap in the sliding door and could not help but shed a few tears. Nanny Gong had her hand clamped on her mouth as she whimpered like an animal trapped in a small basket as she cried softly, " My poor mistress. She had been abandoned and played by the Emperor, at first she lost Master Sang and now she ended up getting thrown to the palace by his majesty."

" Nanny, don't mention Master Sang," Xiao Ai hushed Nann Gong when the latter brought up Sang Shen. Was Sang Shen someone who could be mentioned in front of Liu Hui Ying?

When Nanny Gong heard Xiao Ai's reprimand, she immediately pursed her lips and no longer said anything. They knew that Sang Shen was the first man, Liu Hui Ying loved and he was also the very man who was killed by the Liu family under Liu Dong Ming's command.

Ever since then, Sang Shen had become taboo in the Liu family and no one dared to mention him in front of Liu Hui Ying.

" Me and my runny mouth!" Nanny Gong slapped her mouth thrice she could not believe that even after learning her lesson she would still bring up that man's name. Fortunately, Liu Hui Ying did not hear her or else she would have definitely questioned who Sang Shen was.

Liu Hui Ying indeed did not hear Nanny Gong as she was busy groaning and covering her head in frustration, she looked at the sky that was darkening outside and did not know what to do, the Liu family had only three days… and once the sun sets those three days would start running if she could not get a proper idea about what was going on and how to solve the matter then she would be on the way to becoming a rogue.

As she was not going to let anyone execute or dethrone her.

" This will not do, I need clues… theories and details," Liu Hui Ying was not an omnipresent detective who could solve cases without finding out what went down before the theft took place. Without a detailed explanation, she would not be able to handle the case.

But how should she leave the palace? With Nanny Gong and Xiao Ai keeping track of her, it would be impossible for her to sneak out and even if she somehow managed to sneak out those two women along with the rest of the women might think that she escaped to murder Zhai Tianyu.

" It's not their fault, you have a record behind you," Li Gang muttered only to receive a slap at the back of his head causing him to wince ever so slightly. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Liu Hui Ying's eyes flickered as she mumbled, " I have no chance but to deal with the case like this."

That night just as Liu Hui Ying said, Zhai Tianyu sent a delicious meal. He did not dare to come himself as it would attract too much attention he just sent a small kitchen maid to do his bidding.

When Nanny Gong and Xiao Ai saw that the Emperor still had Liu Hui Ying in his heart, they were a bit at ease. At least the Emperor hadn't completely abandoned their mistress this was enough to set their heart at ease but at the same time, they were worried.

What if the Liu family never got back up? Though they had a lot of worries they did not say anything as they did not want Liu Hui Ying to panic even more.

" Xiao Ai, go and call Her Majesty to eat dinner," said Nanny Gong as she finished setting the dishes on the broken table that was covered in an old piece of cloth. Though she and Xiao Ai cleaned this place as much as they could, it did not change anything.

Xiao Ai nodded and went inside the bed chambers but she only saw Liu Hui Ying lying on the bed and telling her to eat because she was not hungry. Given how much Liu Hui Ying suffered tonight, she did not say much and asked Liu Hui Ying to sleep.

What Xiao Ai did not know was that the person lying on the bed was not Liu Hui Ying but Xiao Lin!

Xiao Lin raised her head and looked at Xiao Ai who left the bed chambers and sighed in relief. She was really troubled just now thinking that she was caught by Xiao Ai but when she saw that Xiao Ai was really fooled, Xiao Lin heaved a sigh of relief and then touched the talisman that Liu Hui Ying had given to her and said, " I hope her majesty will return soon. I really cannot do this anymore."

She was afraid that if she continued then she would be caught most definitely!

While Xiao Lin was worried Liu Hui Ying was sneaking out of the cold palace, she was now clad in the disguise of a beautiful man as she stormed through the palace. However, while she was sneaking out, her gaze fell on Zhai Tianyu who was walking through the garden with Ji Yu.

Her eyes narrowed slightly as she sneered, " I am living in the cold palace with no quilt and no brazier and he is so at ease…"

Though she knew that Zhai Tianyu wanted to throw the Ji family off his back, she still felt annoyed which was why she took out a piece of paper from her storage ring and then wrote a few words before sneaking behind Zhai Tianyu's back and sticking the paper that read ——

' I am a dog in heat.'
