Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 417: Tiger or the Queen ——2?

" There is no way the tiger is going to have a chance against the queen," before Zhai Heng could answer someone else answered in his place, the two brothers turned to look at Yu Lingyun who shook his head at once looking rather surprised and angry, the voice which spoke was clearly high pitched and seemed to belong to a woman, so why were they looking at him?

He was the proud general of the country, did he ...did he look like someone who would lower his voice and speak in the voice of a woman?

" I was the one who spoke, your majesty," the voice once again called out and Zhai Tianyu turned to look at Ji Yu who was smiling at him playfully, her eyes were twinkling and she no longer looked as gloomy as she did in the past.

Even though she no longer looked at him with that infatuated gaze of hers, Zhai Tianyu was still a bit scared, he looked at Ji Yu and took a step behind him before clearing his throat and speaking, " My dear concubine, what are you doing here? Is there something that you wish to talk to me about?"

Seeing that Ji Yu was the one who came to look for Zhai Tianyu both Zhai Heng and Yu Lingyun took a few steps away from the two of them.

They did not wish to pry into the privacy of the husband and his wife, when Zhai Tianyu saw that Zhai Heng and Yu Lingyun had walked away from him, he was so angry that he wished he could scream at them for showing tact at the wrong place but since he did not wish to upset Ji Yu, he could only swallow his words as he turned to look at Ji Yu who was smiling at him with amusement in her eyes.

Once she took a step back, Ji Yu turned to look at Zhai Tianyu and said, " Shall we go and visit, Xiao Lin in the flower valley? Even though she was a maid, she was once our friend before the ties of this world separated all of us."

When they were kids, they did not have to worry about positions, titles and honours. Their world was as simple as a white canvas without a single speck of paint but then one by one as they grew up, the canvas turned red and black than green —— more and more colour was splashed on it making it impossible for them to return to the childhood innocence which they once carried in their hearts.

Zhai Tianyu nodded when he heard the suggestion which was offered to him by Ji Yu. Xiao Lin was indeed his friend and though he was upset that she tried to poison Liu Hui Ying, she received her punishment, he did not know how she died but he did know upon seeing the many holes in her abdomen when she flew around him in her ghostly form that she did not die an easy death.

" Let's go," he walked towards the flower valley where Ji Yu had buried Xiao Lin. He did not say anything to Ji Yu but he also knew that it was not right for him to say nothing which was why he opened his mouth to offer his condolences but was stopped by Ji Yu.

" There is no need to force yourself, your majesty," she stated calmly with a voice which was as soft and warm as the spring breeze. " I know that you do not grieve the death of Xiao Lin, she tried to hurt the woman you adore and like, so of course in your heart, she deserved what she got.

So, please do not offer half-hearted condolences to me, I know very well that the only one who grieved her death was me, other than that no one cared about a maid who died a wrongful death."
