Detective Ghost Empress

” This is what I am supposed to do your majesty, taking care of the rest of those who have departed on their other world journey,” Mister Wu politely replied before turning to look at Liu Hui Ying who was standing to the side of the grave examining the entire tomb with a great curiosity seeing her like this, Mister Wu couldn’t help but turn to look at Zhai Tianyu who was helping him. ” Your majesty, this is...?”

Zhai Tianyu didn’t know what to say to Mister Wu, this man was loyal to him but at the same time, he did not want to disclose the identity of the Queen. Even if someone was loyal to him, it did not mean that there will be no such thing as a change of heart which was why he turned to the man and repeated what he has told others, ” This young man is my friend, we used to play together when we were kids.”

” Oh is that so!” Mister Wu’s face lost all the suspicions from before as he turned to glance at Liu Hui Ying and then bowed respectfully, ” Good day to you my lord.”

Liu Hui Ying was studying the tomb when she heard the old man greet her, she nodded in response to his greeting before she said, ” Good day to you too sir.”

She might have no good feelings for men but that does not mean she will be rude to an elderly like Mister Wu as well.

” You are here to pray with his majesty as well, sir?” Mister Wu asked Liu Hui Ying, he has watched Zhai Tianyu grow up in front of him which was why he was like an old grandpa whenever he saw Zhai Tianyu bringing his friends here, Mister Wu knew that under the pressure of the Wu family, Zhai Tianyu has never been able to befriend a lot of people which was why he always felt happy when he saw Zhai Tianyu with people whom he could trust.

” Yes, you can say that,” Liu Hui Ying replied before she swept her gaze at the tomb, she did not feel any Yin energy from this tomb but she did feel as if someone has come in here and their energy was visibly different than the old man who took care of this place.

” I see then I will leave the two of you alone,” the old man bowed his head before turning on his heels and then walking out of the tomb leaving Liu Hui Ying and Zhai Tianyu alone in the tomb, once the man was gone, Zhai Tianyu turned to look at Liu Hui Ying who was surveying the coffin now that she was done looking around the entire place.

.....

” When are you going to start looking at the body of our aunt?” He asked when he saw Liu Hui Ying standing in front of the grave with her arms folded. Did she have some superhuman powers that she was able to look through the coffin as well?

” When you lift the lid of the coffin,” Liu Hui Ying replied calmly as she turned to look at the man who looked at her in shock and surprise.

” You want us to lift the lid of the coffin?” Zhai Tianyu asked, his voice full of exasperation as he looked at the woman in front of him, was she seriously asking the Emperor to lift the lid of a coffin?

” What? You want me to lift it? What kind of man will you be if you were to ask a woman to do something while standing on the side?” Liu Hui Ying said in a mocking voice as she pointed to the grave and said, ” You are the man, you do it.”

Zhai Tianyu stared at the woman in front of him before he twisted his neck to the side and then grounded his teeth, ” She can touch a dead body but she does not want to lift the lid of the coffin, what a fussy woman.”

” Did you say something?”

” Nothing, my queen.”

” I thought so.” Liu Hui Ying narrowed her eyes as she turned to look at the coffin and tipped her chin at it and said, ” Go on, open it.”

Knowing that there was no way he would be able to get away with this, Zhai Tianyu pursed his lips and rolled his sleeves up as he walked over to the coffin and then started lifting the lid from the coffin, the coffin was made of pure marble something that Zhai Tianyu had paid a rather huge sum for but now that he was picking up the heavy marble lid, he realised that he was a bit too stupid for doing that.

” What? Don’t tell me that you cannot even pick up a marble lid.” Liu Hui Ying taunted from behind causing Zhai Tianyu to grit his teeth in anger, this woman ...can’t she stay silent for a few minutes? Was it necessary for her to taunt him like this now and then?

With a little use of his spiritual energy, he was able to lift the lid and place it on the side before turning to look at Liu Hui Ying and smirking at her smugly, seeing his smug smile Liu Hui Ying scoffed before she walked over to the coffin and took a look at the body that was lying inside it, for a second she was surprised to see that the body of Zhai Chenguang was in such a wonderful condition when she heard that Zhai Chenguang has been dead for a very long time she expected her body to have deteriorated badly but now that she was looking at the intact corpse with hardly any damage she could not help but say, ” You have got some wonderful skincare here.”
