Detective Ghost Empress-Chapter 499: Allergy flares up

------------

On the other hand, Liu Hui Ying stepped out of the Liu Mansion, her long hair fluttering behind her as she walked past the street. With her destination set, Liu Hui Ying did not make any detour, instead, she headed straight towards the county magistrate's office.

" Hui Ying, dear. Have you really thought it through?" Grandma Lan Wen was really worried that Liu Hui Ying was trying to chew more than she could chew, it was going to be night soon and yet she did not return to the Imperial Palace.

That poor maid who was playing the role of Liu Hui Ying at the cold palace must be on the verge of fainting and yet Liu Hui Ying was not even close to returning to the palace.

" I am sure," Liu Hui Ying replied with her eyes narrowed. The 'X' appeared all of a sudden at the port which means that Ji Yang must have thought of pushing the Liu family to a corner, however, she bombarded that wall which destroyed the little scheme that he had made.

Surely, he would try to change the method.

" If I am not wrong then our dear Prime Minister Ji will be making a move tonight. In case I do not deal with this method then I am sure that Liu Yu Yan and the Liu family will have no chance to survive this tragedy," Liu Hui Ying stated.

Her eyes were carrying a hint of murderous intentions as she strode past the street however as she turned left and headed towards the alley which was a shortcut to the county magistrate's office, she ended up running headlong into someone.

Because the sudden collision was a bit too hard, Liu Hui Ying ended up stumbling.

" Oof," Liu Hui Ying yelped as her foot stumbled, her hands reached out and flailed as she tried to stabilize herself. It was then that someone shot out his arm and then wrapped his hand around her waist before pulling her up.

Liu Hui Ying's eyes widened as she looked at the man who had held her hand. With his long black hair tied with a golden crown, his sharp phoenix eyes stared down at her, his jawline was sharp with high cheekbones.

His red eyes stared down at her while the earring with red strings dangling fluttered with the wind as well as the impact of the collision. There was a slight redness under his eyes which made him even more alluring and mysterious.

And with his dark midnight robe, his mysteriousness doubled even more.

" You.." Liu Hui Ying felt a subtle sting in her skin as she snatched her hand from the hold of the man. She glared at him while rubbing her skin which was slowly turning red and said angrily, " Can you not watch where you are going? You almost caused my spine to break into half." What was worse this man caused her allergy to flare up.

Now what was she supposed to do?

The man in the red robe did not seem to be offended by her words, he simply arched his brow and then asked, " Dear sir, are you sure? If not for me you would have fallen on the ground. I was the one who helped you just now, and you are scolding me, don't you think you are being unreasonable?"

Liu Hui Ying did not want to waste her time with this man. For some reason he made her feel a sense of danger what was more even her sister seemed to be wary of him.

Her eyes flickered to the right eye of the man but she did not see the scar on his face, which made her drop her guard but only a bit. She still believed that there was something wrong with the man in front of her which was why she narrowed her eyes and sidestepped him before walking away.

The man watched her leave with a haughty stride and chuckled. He reached his hand and touched his left eye before muttering, " You are still the same aren't you?"

….

Night slowly fell. And the guards of Yamen started to make rounds around the street and the town.

With the increase in the sudden amount of guards, it was quite difficult for Liu Hui Ying to sneak inside the county magistrate's office. She slowed down her pace to make sure that she did not make any noise while walking inside the yamen. However, with her allergy flaring up and the guards walking in every corner of the office, she soon lost her patience. freeweɓnovel.cøm

" Ais! They are really so annoying, why do they have to work so hard was the county magistrate handing them extra pay or something? Can't they take their duties a bit lightly?" Liu Hui Ying questioned angrily when she was forced to stop for the seventh time because of another guard.

The invisibility talisman made her invisible but that did not mean that she became untouchable as well. If these guards touched her then she would be caught.

However, Liu Hui Ying was in a hurry, her arms were already covered in blisters which were slowly turning painful with puss filling inside them. She looked down at her arm which was filled with puss-filled blisters and did not know what to say.

How dirty was that man for her skin to react like that, surely he was a man who was a debaucher if not then her skin would not have become like this!

" If that man ever meets me again, I will skin him alive," Liu Hui Ying hissed. She thought that she only needed to do this and that, and she would be free of this problem. But that man caused her allergy to flare up and now even this small matter became big as she simply could not withstand this pain any more!

" Just hold on a bit more," Jia Li whispered when she saw Liu Hui Ying running out of patience. " I have already examined the area, we just need to walk for five more minutes and then the warehouse of the county magistrate's office will be in front of us——"

" Do you hear that?"
