Detective Ghost Empress

260 Treated like a hooligan

Zhai Tianyu looked at the imperial physician and then took the sword away from the neck of the old man, as soon as the cold blade of the sword was taken off his neck, the old imperial physician heaved a sigh of relief. The old man was no fool, he dared to not care about the queen because he knew that the Emperor did not care about her but now from the looks of it…how was it possible for the Emperor to not care about the queen!

One could see that the Emperor cared so much about the Queen that he was even willing to show one of his sock puppets in front of him! Clearly, the Empress was in the heart of his majesty, if he did not worry about his son losing his tongue, he would have definitely told this to her majesty, the grand dowager Empress!

The imperial physician felt dreadful when he thought that he will have to hide this fact from the grand dowager Empress but he was a wise man who has seen all kinds of storms if not then he would not have survived till now while working in the imperial palace. He knew that the unknown was more fearsome than the known, he of course knew the way the grand dowager Empress dealt with everyone who went against her but he did not how and what kind of person his majesty was when he wanted to go against someone.

” I will do my best to wake her majesty,” imperial physician Shao knocked his head on the floor and then waited for Zhai Tianyu to pass his judgement. He did not wish to die but if his majesty wanted to kill him then what can a man of his calibre do?

Zhai Tianyu glanced at the old man who was kowtowing in front of him, truth be told he did not trust this man but Imperial physician Shao was indeed the best among all the imperial physicians if not then his grandmother wouldn’t have trusted him with her life. As the thought of his grandmother came into his head, Zhai Tianyu felt his heart twinge with pain, he has trusted that woman so much that he now felt that if everything that he knew turned around to become a lie, he might just kill himself because the heartbreak will be too much for him to handle.

” Then I will hold on to your promise, imperial physician Shao,” remarked Zhai Tianyu as he turned his head slightly to the left and glanced at Liu Hui Ying who was lying on the bed, a bandage was tied around her head and her lips were slowly turning blue. His fingers instinctively curled around the handle of his sword but he still resisted the urge to go and kill everyone who was behind this incident, he wanted not to care about anything but as the Emperor, he could not do something so selfish.

For the sake of his people, he will have to hold on to the remaining rationality even though he wished he could set the world on fire and watch it burn.

Zhai Tianyu closed his eyes and even though his heart was telling him to bring Liu Hui Ying into his embrace, he did not want to be selfish like this. After all, Liu Hui Ying was allergic to men if he was to touch her when she was already in such a dreadful condition who knows what might happen to her? It was better for him to purse his lips and keep his distance from Liu Hui Ying, just because he was worried he could not do anything that will harm Liu Hui Ying.

As he thought about Liu Hui Ying’s allergy he turned to look at the imperial physician and asked, ” You are a man right?”

.....

Imperial physician Shao was stunned when he heard this question but since he was taught by his father to answer everything that his master asked him, he nodded and replied honestly, ” Biologically yes.” How can he be not a man? He made his wife pregnant in one go and even gave birth to a son in his first attempt.

It could be said that he was the man out of all men!

Zhai Tianyu’s picturesque eyes turned gloomy when he heard Imperial physician Shao’s response and said, ” Make sure that you do not touch her majesty with your hands. I don’t want her to catch anything, she should not.”

Imperial physician Shao: “...” ???? Your majesty can we not do this, please? My heart cannot take it.

Zhai Tianyu however did not care whether imperial physician Shao’s poor heart could take it or not, he simply turned his gaze and looked at the old man and continued speaking, “If I find out that your skin touched her majesty, I will cut off your hands all right ?”

” Y…yes your majesty,” was this truly the same Zhai Tianyu? How come he was so jealous and possessive? He was a man in his sixties and Liu Hui Ying was old enough to be his granddaughter, how can he even think of doing anything to her?

But in front of his master, he did not dare to voice a word of complaint and simply kept his head lowered.

But in his head, he was screaming loudly, “What is this? ”

Zhai Tianyu did not care about imperial physician Shao, he gave him a few more reminders and by the time he left the room where Liu Hui Ying was lying, Imperial Physician Shao was tied up with clothes so tightly that only his eyes ears and fingers were visible, even his mouth was covered by a piece of cloth.

Imperial Physician Shao looked down at his half-mummified body and muttered angrily, ” Crazy! He has gone crazy, no wonder my wife said that we should keep a tight reign on him now that he is courting a girl. If I do not keep a good eye on that brat, he might become crazy like his majesty as well!”

He was old enough to be Liu Hui Ying’s grandpa! But he was covered up as a young girl who has not seen anything in this world!
