Detective Ghost Empress-Chapter 523: A protective big brother

"Not at all, your majesty. Your servant has always been servile," Eunuch Li replied with a polite smile causing Liu Hui Ying to smile even more widely.

"You weren't this servile on the day I was thrown in the cold palace," Liu Hui Ying stated causing Eunuch Li to tremble even more. He knew this woman was not going to let him off so easily. However he could not say or do anything at this moment, though he was the head of the Eunuchs and held a lot of power in his hands but as long as Liu Hui Ying was doted on by his majesty, he could not offend her.

However back then he thought that Liu Hui Ying was done for which was why he was a bit arrogant in front of Liu Hui Ying. But now that she was back in power, Eunuch Li felt a bit regretful.

He raised his head and looked at Liu Hui Ying who was smiling down at him and felt a chill rise in his heart.

No, he felt a lot regretful.

He shouldn't have done that, if he hadn't done that then nothing like this would be happening to him now.

"Your majesty, this imperial decree," Eunuch Li wanted to announce it but Liu Hui Ying snatched it from him causing his high-pitched voice to get stuck in his throat.

Liu Hui Ying looked at the imperial decree and then read through it carefully before turning to look at Eunuch Li who looked half horrified and half offended. Seeing him like this, Liu Hui Ying smiled at him and then rolled the imperial decree in her hands and said, "Let this slide, Eunuch Li.

After all, I am in a hurry to get out of this place as I am so freaking busy and have tons of things to do." She scrunched up her face and then winked at Eunuch Li with both of her eyes as she added, "I mean since I am doted on by his majesty… I can do this right?"

She had been waiting to throw these words back at Eunuch Li ever since he barged into her palace and asked her to leave the palace without even letting her take a change of clothes. He even went ahead and said that just because she was being doted on by Zhai Tianyu, she could do whatever she wanted or liked.

Liu Hui Ying still had no idea how in the world she was being doted on by Zhai Tianyu and why she had no idea regarding it.

However, that did not change the fact that this man had disrespected her. It wouldn't be like her if she did not make this man tremble in his shoes.

Eunuch Li was almost on his knees as he begged Liu Hui Ying to let him off, "Your majesty, I was the one who was a fool. I misunderstood the situation and made a mistake. Please be magnanimous and let me off?"

He peeked at Liu Hui Ying with a polite expression causing Liu Hui Ying to sneer coldly as she looked at the eunuch in front of her.

"You didn't stay magnanimous with me, Eunuch Li… so you better watch out… who knows this time around you might end up lying in bed forever?" Liu Hui Ying patted Eunuch Li's shoulder before walking towards the palanquin.

Eunuch Li felt sweat trickle down his spine and forehead as he knew that he was in trouble. Firstly, because he learned that Zhai Tianyu cared for Liu Hui Ying a lot and secondly Liu Hui Ying's tongue was black. Literally black.

The last time she said that he would pay for what he had done, he ended up breaking every bone in his body. The only reason why he could stand now was because of the imperial physician who handed him a pill that helped him recover. If not he would be still on the bed waiting for a month for his bones to recover.

Sure enough, as soon as he turned on his heels, he felt something push him from the back and then

BANG!

He fell on the ground, face first and that too in the pit which was filled with mud and water.

"Cough," Eunuch Li spat out the mud from his mouth as he looked at the palanquin that was being carried away. Again. That witch with a broken mouth cursed him again.

He tried to push himself off the floor but as soon as he pushed himself off the floor, his feet lost their footing again and he fell into the pit face first again and then again and then again.

"Leave him be," Jia Li looked at Li Gang who was having fun while kicking and swapping his feet against Eunuch Li such that he fell into the pit again and again.

Li Gang rolled his eyes as he said, "I am just teaching him a small lesson and nothing else. Have you forgotten how he asked Liu Hui Ying to roll out of the courtyard? He was so freaking disrespectful."

Li Gang might act like he did not like Liu Hui Ying but in truth he cared for her like a big brother. Like a very, very protective big brother. Only he was allowed to tease and taunt Liu Hui Ying, if someone else did that then he would make sure that they received a fitting lesson.

"You are too protective of Hui Ying," Jia Li stated as she looked down at the Eunuch who had disrespected Liu Hui Ying like a vermin who needed to be squashed under her feet. If not for the fact that she was holding back, she would have made him feel the pain of getting castrated again.

"Says the one who broke his spine and almost caused him to lie on the bed for all his life," Li Gang stopped kicking Eunuch Li and left the poor man alone after he had eaten enough dirt.

Jia Li rolled her eyes as she crossed her arms and then said, "I didn't I almost broke his spine but I left him with enough breath to live, look he is alive."

"Is it the semantics that matters for you?"

"You can say that."
