Detective Ghost Empress

Liu Hui Ying was headed towards the tent which belonged to Ji Yang, given that he and his family really had something in for her, she knew that he was the prime suspect after all, if it was proven that she was the one who was the cause of Concubine Qin's disappearance, he will be the one who will get the most number of benefits.

" Who are you?" Ji Yang was talking about something with his aide when he saw two women approaching his tent. He turned to look at the young and old pair who bowed their heads when he turned to face them and then heard the elderly woman speak,

" We are here to change the coal in your brazier, my esteemed lord," if Ji Yang had heard Liu Hui Ying talk to Zhai Tianyu privately he would have sensed something amiss but since he did not hear Liu Hui Ying talk with Zhai Tianyu instead of feeling suspicious when he heard the words 'esteemed lord,' he was more than proud as he nodded his head and waved his hand.

" You can go inside," he said after he was done waving his hands giving Liu Hui Ying and Jia Li permission to enter his tent.

Seeing that they have received permission, Liu Hui Ying bowed in front of Ji Yang and the next one was Jia Li, despite being from the modern world, they were thoroughly able to impersonate the manners of this world due to their profession.

The two of them thanked Ji Yang before they turned to face the flap of the tent, the first to enter was Liu Hui Ying since she knew that every tent on the ground had a small charm placed on it.

She had heard about the old legend about the woman who was killed unjustly in this hunting grounds and knew that though no one believed that legend they still stuck a charm which was blessed by the master of the astronomy department to keep evil at bay.

This was the reason why Liu Hui Ying had to follow her ghosts given that they could not walk past these charms that had a bit of Yang energy instilled inside of them.

Liu Hui Ying first cancelled the effect of the charm and then only did she take a step inside the tent behind her, Jia Li who was possessing the body of Xiao Ai also walked in, as soon as they walked inside the first thing Jia Li was to knock Xiao Ai out and then started to look inside the various cabinets and trunks which was made out of wood.

While Liu Hui Ying looked at the tent which was lavishly decorated and clicked her tongue, sure enough, though they were treating her like a poor daughter-in-law, they were indeed not treating themselves badly.

A part of her wanted to steal the golden orb that was resting on the cabinet next to the large fur carpet which was lying in the centre of the tent but she knew that it will not be easy to sell it but——

She was someone who did not fear anything but since she was wearing the mask of an old woman she did not wish to cause her trouble.

Liu Hui Ying changed the coal honestly while Jia Li finished investigating the entire place and then said, " There is nothing … not even a trace of concubine Qin can be found."

A bemused glint flashed in Liu Hui Ying's eyes but she did not say anything and simply straightened up and walked out of the tent after Jia Li possessed Xiao Ai's body again, the next stop was The grand dowager Empress's tent and quite surprisingly she did not find anything there either and Ji Mo's tent was the same.

Exasperation flashed in Liu Hui Ying's eyes as she finished looking at all the tents before she headed to Ji Yu's tent where she noticed the latter lying on the bed while her new maid spoke to her in a hushed whisper as she continued to say this and that, most of the things which she spoke was about how she should try to bring Liu Hui Ying down from the throne.

" Enough," when Ji Yu saw Liu Hui Ying enter the room together with Jia Li, she raised her hand and then stopped Hong Mei. " Can't you see that we are not alone what nonsense are you trying to pull by saying such words in front of others? Do you wish to see us getting executed?"

Hong Mei was not happy with the reprimand that she just received but she did not dare to go against Ji Yu instead she turned to glare at Liu Hui Ying and scolded her harshly., " You old woman, do you have no tact? How can you not see that we are having a discussion here? You dare to act as you wish!"

" This maid is only following the order which was given to me. I asked before entering the tent, if there was something that you wished not to be heard by this old woman, then you should have either stopped this old woman from entering or restricted yourself from speaking what you want …what is the point of getting angry at this old woman?"

Ji Yu caught the anger which flashed in the eyes of the old woman, and those eyes reminded her of Liu Hui Ying for some reason. Because she knew this old maid and knew that she had been treated like this for a very long time and the old woman had never dared to go against anyone but for some reason, she was standing up for herself.

A flash of surprise and recognition passed in Ji Yu's eyes but she did not show it on her face and instead turned to look at Hong Mei who seemed like she wanted to retort to the old maid.

" Enough! The old woman is right, I was the one who gave her permission to enter while you despite hearing my order continued to chatter in my ear, who is in the wrong, who is in the right? Experience amazing tales on m vl-em|p-yr

Do I still need to tell you?" Ji Yu scolded Hong Mei, though the notion which was in her head was really absurd, she could not help but think of it as authentic after all, Liu Dong Ming too had some special skill which cannot be seen in anyone else.

What if Liu Hui Ying also had some skills which she learned from her uncle?

Though she only had a guess in her heart, she did not wish to offend Liu Hui Ying if she was that powerful not only because she was scared of her powers but also because she wished to know whether or not she could help her.

Ji Yu was not going to back out of the promise that she made with Liu Dong Ming but she did not even know who this priest was and where she was going to look for him.

Even though she could not see Xiao Lin, she wished Liu Hui Ying will help her listen to Xiao Lin's voice, that way she will be able to calm her queasy heart, what was more she had a reason to doubt that the woman in front of her was Liu Hui Ying.

She told Liu Hui Ying the time when the braziers in the tents are changed, and tonight this old woman was acting up differently when she had not in years.

While Ji Yu was thinking about this Liu Hui Ying had no idea that Ji Yu who was this sharp caught her despite her impersonating someone else, once she was done investigating Ji Yu's tent, she went to another Ji family member's tent and then another but each tent was just as empty as others though she did find a few things which might prove beneficial to her, the rest was useless.

After the tents of the Ji family it was the turn of the concubines' tents and then following them were the guards and soldiers, she even went to the Qin family tents, she even went inside the tent which was used for cooking but she found nothing instead ——

" Old woman! Hey old woman! Did you pass my letter to Nanny Gong?" The old man who was in charge of making drinks spoke to her causing Liu Hui Ying to raise a brow as she replied, " I did."

She did not know whether this man was an admirer or lover of Nanny Gong but she was quick enough to sense that it was none other than an admirer because the way his face lit up was like that of a man who was freshly in love, and she also knew that old virgin Nanny of hers as well, she clearly had no interest in anyone.

" Then…then what did she say?" The old man asked, his face flushed red.

" Nothing, she stomped on your letter just like your Heart." Want to confess but still use someone else's hands? No way she was going to allow a man like him to get close to Nanny Gong.
