Detective Ghost Empress

Zhai Tianyu felt his head buzz. He did not even take a look at Eunuch Li who was his grandmother's spy and then rushed to the Phoenix Palace. He did not know what happened but if Zhai Heng came to look for him, something must have happened.

Eunuch Li who saw Zhai Tianyu rush as if he was being chased by something dangerous was stunned. What happened to all the elegance and grace that was taught to his majesty? How could he run like a commoner?

"Your majesty, you cannot rush like that!" Eunuch Li was not aware of the fact that the Grand Empress Dowager had sent assassins but he knew that not many had the guts to attack the Empress especially when she was backed by the Liu family. Most probably this was related to the Grand Empress Dowager as she was the only one who had the guts to harm Liu Hui Ying.

If Zhai Tianyu caught hold of the assassins then it would be really troublesome!

He had to stop that from happening.

However, Zhai Tianyu did not stop. He continued walking at a pace which was too fast for Eunuch Li to catch. The poor old eunuch who had suffered a lot because of bad luck from the past couple of days, including getting his bones broken, however, could not catch up to Zhai Tianyu who was young and had a pace which was way too fast for Eunuch Li.

He could only watch Zhai Tianyu walk out of the palace followed by concubine Ji and Zhai Heng helplessly. Eunuch Li looked at Zhai Tianyu who had run away and left him behind before turning to look at the palace that belonged to the Grand Empress Dowager.

"I should go and relay this matter to Her Majesty," Eunuch Li muttered as he hobbled over to the palace where Grand Empress Dowager lived. He did not want this matter to escalate or else the Grand Empress Dowager would lose the reputation that she had maintained for ages!

However just as he hobbled out of the palace, someone bumped into him causing Eunuch Li to fall on his bottom. It would have been fine in the past but Eunuch Li was still recovering from the injuries that he had received a few days ago. Thus, when he fell on his bottom he ended up getting severely injured once more.

A crack echoed in the surroundings as Eunuch Li cried and screamed like a pig that was getting butchered. He closed his eyes and howled in pain before glaring at the culprit who had bumped into him and shouted at the stupid eunuch, "What are you doing Xiao Hong! How could you bump into me, were you not watching where you were going or something?"

Xiao Hong who was another young eunuch under Eunuch Li bowed his head in a flustered manner. He said, "I am really sorry, Eunuch Li. I saw his majesty running out of the palace and I thought that something happened. I was worried about his majesty and did not see where I was going, I did not know that you were still working …didn't the imperial physician ask you to stay at your courtyard and relax?"

Eunuch Li was originally suspicious of Xiao Hong as he thought it was too much of a coincidence for Xiao Hong to rush into him just when he was about to rush to the Grand Empress Dowager's palace. However, when he heard Xiao Hong's question he had to agree that what Xiao Hong said made sense.

The imperial physician had told him to rest and not work too much. If not for the fact that he couldn't sit still without keeping an eye on Zhai Tianyu he left his bed and went to look for him. Xiao Hong had no idea that he left his bed thus he should not have bumped into him deliberately.

However, that did not change the fact that he bumped into him causing him to be hurt!

"Hurry pick me up! I am in so much pain that I feel like I am dying!" Eunuch Li cried and Xiao Hong rushed to pick him up. However, because he was busy scolding Xiao Hong he did not notice the sly glint that flashed in Xiao Hong's eyes as he looked at the Eunuch who was crying while leaning on him.

Eunuch Li was a fool who thought that everything was under his control, he did not even know that Zhai Tianyu had long introduced a little eunuch who kept an eye on Eunuch Li and stopped him from making any sneaky move.

Just now Xiao Hong who was keeping an eye on Eunuch Li knew that he was trying to rush to the palace that belonged to Grand Empress Dowager, thus he deliberately bumped into Eunuch Li and stopped him from disturbing his Majesty.

"Yes, Yes... I am so sorry!" Xiao Hong hid the calculations in his eyes as he helped Eunuch Li and took him to the imperial physician,

Zhai Tianyu rushed inside the Phoenix Palace and as soon as he stepped inside he felt an uncontrollable surge of energy wafting from the inside. It was like an explosion of energy and he knew that it had nothing to do with Yu Lingyun as he was not as strong as the surge of energy that was surging out from the inside of the palace.

Which meant that it was Liu Hui Ying!

His eyes flashed as he increased his pace behind him Zhai Heng rushed inside the palace as well. Though he was not as skilled as Zhai Tianyu and Yu Lingyun in martial arts he could still sense the energy that was rushing from the inside of the palace.

His eyes widened when he sensed the enormous wave of spiritual energy coming from the palace. Liu Hui Ying was this strong? Why did he not know that Liu Hui Ying's spiritual energy was on par with Zhai Tianyu?

No more than that…wasn't Yu Lingyun alone with Liu Hui Ying?

Damn!

"Lingyun!" Zhai Heng shouted as he and Zhai Tianyu rushed to the bed chambers of Liu Hui Ying.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't have rushed inside the bed chambers of the Empress but this was an exception!

As soon as the two men rushed inside the bed chambers, the scent of blood filled their nostrils. Behind them, they heard Ji Yu gasp causing them to turn and look in the direction in which Ji Yu was looking.

Zhai Tianyu's eyes widened when he saw the head of the assassin lying on the floor before turning to look at Liu Hui Ying who was fighting with Yu Lingyun inside the bed chambers.

Though Yu Lingyun was the general of the imperial army, his spiritual energy was still nothing when compared with Liu Hui Ying. He was sporting a large gash on his right arm while trying to fend off Liu Hui Ying behind him Xiao Ai and Nanny Gong were trying to make Liu Hui Ying stop.

"Your majesty, you cannot kill her majesty the Grand Empress Dowager! Please do understand!" Nanny Gong tried to make Liu Hui Ying understand but the rage Liu Yi Yan was feeling at the moment could not be controlled. She only knew that someone was trying to kill her sister, her younger sister whom she had protected and loved with all her heart.

Even gave her life to make sure that Liu Hui Ying would survive.

She only wanted blood and more blood, until her sister was safe and sound and no one would dare to kill her.

"Get off!" Liu Yi Yan's soul rumbled from inside Liu Hui Ying's body. "She dared to harm Hui Ying! She deserves to die! How dare she!"

Liu Yi Yan's scream caused the entire palace to be filled with an earth-shattering coldness. Nanny Gong shivered and hugged Xiao Ai, she did not know who this woman was but it was certainly not Liu Hui Ying, however, she did not feel scared of this woman as she knew that whoever she was, she was protecting Liu Hui Ying.

Yu Lingyun who was holding Liu Hui Ying back, also sensed the rage that was emanating from the soul that was livid on account of Liu Hui Ying. He pursed his lips and then said, "I know that you are angry but try to understand, she cannot be harmed!"

However what replied to him was another slash to his face, fortunately, he was fast enough to lean back or else he would have lost his nose because of Liu Hui Ying's ruthless attack.

"You….are you trying to kill me? I am your husband's best friend! We wore the same pants when we were young!" Yu Lingyun felt his heartbeat escalate when he saw Liu Hui Ying attack him as if she wanted his life.

"Husband? I do not agree! That philanderer can never be my Hui Ying's husband! I will castrate him if he dares to have a design on my sister!" Liu Yi Yan screamed causing Zhai Tianyu to close his legs.

What should he do now? He left a bad impression on his sister-in-law without even doing anything. What was Liu Hui Ying telling her sister about him anyway?
