Detective Ghost Empress

63 Get lost

” Of course, you would..” Zhai Tianyu paused as he looked at Liu Hui Ying before blinking his eyes as he said, ” Did you just refuse me or is it my ears that are playing tricks on me?”

” You didn’t hear her wrong, she told you a big, fat ‘no’,” said Li Gang who was floating in the air with his back lying on nothing but as if he was lying on an invisible bed. ” Grand of you to assume that she will agree to your request.”

Zhai Tianyu was speechless, a part of him was shocked and then the other part of him was completely lost. He couldn’t help but think that he was taken advantage of after all she was the one who asked him to say the magic word but when he did she refuse to agree to his request, what kind of injustice was this?

” But I just said please to you, what else do you want?” He said with a bewildered and shocked look on his face, fine she was allergic to man, maybe she was not the same woman he married but that does not change the fact that she was his wife, he married her and he was the Emperor of this entire Empire, his ‘please’ was a lot more expensive than any other gifts!

” Aww are you going to cry?” cooed Liu Hui Ying as she looked at the Emperor and then rolled her eyes at him. ” Do you think that your please is some sort of magic spell? That you will say it and I will start working according to your tune?”

Looking at his affronted look, she was sure that he was thinking in the same direction as well.

“Oh come on,” she said with an annoyed look on her face. ” Please is something that not only you but everyone else who wants their work to be done should say, you are the one who is requesting my help so, of course, you have to say please, it’s up to me whether I agree to the request or not.”

Zhai Tianyu: “....”

He wanted to refute but there was nothing for him to say, in the end, he simply drew in a breath and asked, ” Can you at least tell me why are you not helping me?”

.....

” That’s simple,” said Liu Hui Ying as she kicked her legs on the bed and sat up straight rolling her shoulders uncomfortably, seeing this the ghost named Jia Li flew up to her side and then started massaging her shoulders, only then did Liu Hui Ying continue speaking, ” The reason is that you haven’t paid me yet, I don’t do business on credits you see? I want the shiny money in my pocket before I help anyone but because you are the Emperor I let you know in advance that your grandmother is sick... and allowed you to bring money later on.”

” You did not bring money with you, that means you still owe me ... until or unless you clear up this little debt that you owe me, I will not help you any further.”

Zhai Tianyu stared at his Queen, it was as if she has snatched his ability to speak, no matter how many times he tried to open his mouth and say something, he could not do it. This woman? Did she only open her mouth for asking for money and eating? In just a few minutes she might have as well asked for money more than ten times.

She was truly the daughter of third officer Liu!

” Have you forgotten my queen, you told me the truth about my grandmother’s condition for you feared that I will kill you.” Zhai Tianyu kindly reminded her but Liu Hui Ying who has been working in the modern world, where the race of earning money was rather hard immediately deflected his attack and shot back, ” I did but then you did not believe me, my goodwill vanished because of your constant suspicion and now you have to pay my fees, your majesty.”

Zhai Tianyu: “....” Can he even win against this thick skin woman?

” No, you can’t,” said Liu Hui Yin as if she was reading his mind. ” Don’t even try winning over me, if you do then you will only end up embarrassing yourself.”

Zhai Tianyu looked rather uncomfortable at her sudden words, he tugged on the collar of his robes and carefully eyed Liu Hui Ying before he asked in a hesitant voice, ” H..How do you know what I was thinking? Can you even read minds?”

” Why are you planning something against me? That you need to hide?” Liu Hui Ying asked in return and Zhai Tianyu relaxed a little, turns out that he was the one who was thinking too much.

” Ahem, fine if that’s what you want then I will bring you the rewards that you want, gold..silver anything,” said Zhai Tianyu for the sake of his grandmother he would be willing to make a small loss at least he will be able to save his grandmother and send his aunt off to the underworld.

“That’s better,” said Liu Hui Ying as she stood up from the bed and then raised her head to look at Zhai Tianyu with an impatient look on her face. When Zhai Tianyu saw the impatient look on her face he was a bit confused and couldn’t help but ask, ” What?”

” What do you mean by what? You are done, right? So get lost now, I have to eat my lunch and you are ruining my appetite by breathing in front of me.” Liu Hui Ying snapped at Zhai Tianyu not caring about the offended expression on his face as he pointed his finger and trembled in anger. ” I am your Emperor, how dare you ask me to get lost?”

” Like this,” Liu Hui Ying turned to face him as she pointed to her mouth and slowly very slowly repeated, ” GET LOST.”

This time Zhai Tianyu was very mad, so mad that he turned around and left the courtyard of the Queen without closing the door.
