Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 224 - 224 There is no we



224 There is no we

Liu Hui Ying did not know that because of her, Zhai Tianyu broke one of his protocols that were not supposed to be broken at all and continued walking ahead of him, it was only when something warm was wrapped around her did she look up at her husband who was already staring at her.

” What are you doing?” She asked Zhai Tianyu with confusion brimming in her eyes, she did not understand why Zhai Tianyu covered her with a robe and that too in such a hurry that his face was now covered in sweat because of the sprint that he just did.

“It’s night and even if you don’t feel cold, autumn is almost here,” replied Zhai Tianyu, he did not want to tell Liu Hui Ying that he was uncomfortable watching other men look at her. He cleared his throat and then continued, ” You will catch a cold if you roam in your nightwear, just tie the robe around your body such that you will not feel the shivers.”

Liu Hui Ying looked at him with a frown but she did not make a move to tie the robe properly around her body, seeing that she was not listening to him, he rolled his eyes and then leaned down to tie the belt of her robe but was stopped by Liu Hui Ying who immediately took a few steps back and glared at him. ” What do you think you are, your majesty?”

” I am tying the belt for you since you cannot do it,” he said easily causing Liu Hui Ying to roll her eyes as she looked at the man who was looking at her with impatience and a bit of nervousness. But he did not let his nervousness show and continued in a stubborn manner, ” If you do not listen to me then I will have to tie the belt with my own hands, and if I do that then I will touch your body. So, do you want me to tie it for you or are you going to do it on your own?”

Never in her entire life, Liu Hui Ying has ever been threatened like this, she stared at the man who looked like he was truly going to do what he said and hurriedly tied the belt around her light violet robe with white lilies embroidered on it.

” Happy now?” She asked after she was done tying the belt on her waist but instead of agreeing with her Zhai Tianyu pointed to her hair that was left loose and was not tied in a bun and said, ” You need to tie your hair up as well, you are now married to me which means that your hair should be tied in a bun, people will talk if you don’t do it.” He quickly added when he noticed that Liu Hui Ying was brimming with impatience causing him to shiver a little, why in the world was he scared of this woman who was tinier than him?

Liu Hui Ying did not like tying her hair in a bun but what she hated, even more, was unreasonable trouble knocking on her door which was why she listened to what Zhai Tianyu had to say and immediately tied her hair in a bun, it was a good thing that she had a hairpin rolled in her hair to tie it or else she would have to make another turn back to her courtyard.

After she was done twisting her hair into a bun, she turned to look at Zhai Tianyu and asked with a glower, ” Is this enough or should I go and take a bath as well?”

.....

“It’s enough,” Zhai Tianyu’s eyes softened when he saw her listen to him, he thought that she was going to refute him but now that she has listened to him and done what he asked her to do, he was more than contented. Especially when he saw that she was wearing her hair in a bun, he did not know why but every time he saw her with her hair down, he was reminded of the fact that she did not want to accept him as her husband, which was something that spooked him.

He shouldn’t be caring about Liu Hui Ying not accepting him as her husband because it will only make things easier for him but he did care about such little things.

Liu Hui Ying huffed at him before she turned around and continued to walk over to the entrance door of her courtyard.

Zhai Tianyu who was standing behind her was stunned when he saw that Liu Hui Ying actually snorted in front of him but contrary to his expectations he was not at all annoyed by her, instead, he found her even cuter than he usually did, his lips curled in a small smile as he chased after Liu Hui Ying who was walking in front of him.

When he caught up to her, he turned to look at her sideways and said, ” Where are we going, queen?”

” There is no we,” Liu Hui Ying paused in her strides as she turned to look at the man who has suddenly become her lackey even when she did not ask him, she glanced at Zhai Tianyu and pointed to herself, ” I will go to Liu Fei Fei’s courtyard and examine her body while you, on the other hand, will go back to your palace or the courtyard of your concubines whichever you like.”

” But I want to be with you, your queen—— I mean to say that I like investigating with you ….no what I mean to say is that Liu Fei Fei was my concubine as well, I have the right to know what happened to her which is why I have to follow you,” Zhai Tianyu had to change his wording again and again because his words caused Liu Hui Ying to take a step back and frown at him.

Liu Hui Ying wanted to say something but before she could even bring herself to say anything, she heard someone call out from behind.

” Your majesty, what are you doing here?”
