Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 384: A monster behind them ——1

Liu Hui Ying stared at the group of maids who were trembling while lowering their heads as if they were chicken who was afraid that the butcher was going to snap their necks next. Seeing them act like this Liu Hui Ying clicked her tongue as she raised her voice and asked in a loud voice, " I am asking you who poisoned my bathing water?"

Her words took everyone by surprise while Xiao Lin who did not expect Liu Hui Ying will be able to find out the problem in the bathing water so easily was stunned as she looked at the floor while clenching the pouch in her hands under her sleeves, should she make a run for it? If she stayed here, she will be certainly caught!

But the question was will the queen be able to track her down?

" Your majesty, are you saying that the water is poisonous?" Nanny Gong asked in surprise as she looked at the boiling water and then turned to look at the maids.

In her eyes, there was nothing wrong with the water but if her majesty was saying that it was poisonous then she was going to believe her without a doubt since she knew that no matter how naughty the queen might be she will not make such a joke.

She straightened her back and glared at the group of maids that had their heads lowered and asked in a stern voice, " Can you not hear your majesty? Who was the one who poisoned this water? Come out now and we might be merciful for all the years that you were loyal but in case we catch you then I am afraid that we will have to see you get executed."

That thought was buried in her head as soon as she thought of it, she knew that there was no way the Ji family will allow someone from the Liu family to spy on them since they had so many secrets that they were hiding, so if the queen knew about these poisonous orchids petals then someone from the Ji family had to tip her off!

This means that the Ji family wanted to see her die from the very start!

Xiao Lin felt her heart shudder as she came to the realisation that she had been cheated by the Ji family, she wanted to turn back time but unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world, while Xiao Lin was going through a mental crisis, Li Gang who was sniffing for the stronger scent of poisonous orchids came to stand next to her and sniffed the air twice, his eyes widened as he whipped his head and looked at Liu Hui Ying before shouting at the top of his lungs, " I found her!

She is the one who tried to poison you!"

As he spoke he pointed to Xiao Lin whose eyes widened when she saw Liu Hui Ying's gaze zero on her.

She seemed to have realised that the queen noticed her and most probably because of the tip-off, she might have already sensed her which was why she immediately turned on her heels and rushed out of the other flap that opened right in front of the forest ignoring the shouts and gasps of the maids who chased after her while Liu Hui Ying who wanted to rip the culprit limb by limb also chased after Xiao Lin but unfortunately for her, she was only able to take three steps ahead and was brought down on the floor.
