248 Cat Fight, the Empress and the Imperial concubine!

Ji Yu could not recognize Liu Hui Ying because the latter was dressed up as a man with half of her face swollen because of her allergy, she no longer looked like the decent yet not-so-gentle scum queen which was why Ji Yu could not recognize Liu Hui Ying who was standing behind Zhai Heng but of course, she noticed the protective stance that Zhai Heng took towards Liu Hui Ying.

Seeing him act like this Ji Yu could not help but bite her bottom lip, Zhai Heng has always been protective of her alone and other than her, he has never even looked after another person, he was like a very capable and protective elder brother to her who always placed her in the top of his priority list why was it’s that now he was protecting someone else and that too from her?

Was she no longer the little sister with a fragile heart in his eyes? Did he think that she will harm this man? Just what did he take her for?

Zhai Heng did not know that his small act of covering Liu Hui Ying caused Ji Yu to overthink so much, he just did it on instinct because he was worried that Ji Yu will recognise the queen even though Liu Hui Ying did a very good job in disguising herself the two maids who always worked next to her were easy to recognize as long as someone with a little brain and a good vision looked at their faces.

Not once did Zhai Heng think that Ji Yu will harm Liu Hui Ying, maybe it was because Ji Yu was getting snubbed left and right by Zhai Heng that she could no longer think straight and took Zhai Heng’s small actions as something big.

” What are you doing here, Brother Heng?” Seeing that Zhai Heng seemed to have forgotten who was his little sister, Ji Yu tried to remind him that she was the one whom he swore to protect instead of the man who was standing behind him. “It’s so late at night why are you going on a stroll with this young man? Don’t tell me you two are going somewhere you should not be, hmm brother Heng?”

She deliberately said those words because she wanted to know where Zhai Heng was going with this young man, which was why she used such words to make Zhai Heng tell her the truth, and sure enough, Zhai Heng who was a straight man and not used to messing around immediately shook his head before he opened his mouth to tell Ji Yu the truth.

“It’s nothing, he is the one who is in charge of investigating consort Liu’s death which is why I am accompanying him, don’t overthink so much,” He told Ji Yu who was teasing him with an exasperated look on his face. ” I am only helping him investigate and nothing else.”

.....

Ji Yu who heard Zhai Heng’s words stiffened as she turned her head to look at the young man who was standing behind Zhai Heng and then carefully examined him with her gaze.

‘So this is the man who snatched the opportunity from our Ji family?’ She thought in her head as she looked at Liu Hui Ying who looked right back at her, seeing that the woman was looking at her with an accusatory gaze Liu Hui Ying frowned and then said to Jia Li, ” Why is this woman looking at me like I have snatched her man from her? I don’t think I have done that.” 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

” Maybe she is upset because you snatched her brother’s job,” Jia Li said she was someone who could not sit still and would often go around making trouble and gossip around with other ghosts, so, of course, she knew that Ji Yu’s brother was in charge of investigating the cases and since the Emperor trusted Ji Yu and her family, most of the cases were handed to the Ji family.

But now the case was handed to Liu Hui Ying, it was given that Ji Yu would feel upset when looking at Liu Hui Ying.

” Is that my fault?” Liu Hui Ying crossed her arms and looked at Ji Yu with narrowed eyes as she glared right back at her. “It is her brother’s fault that he is so lousy that he couldn’t solve a case to save his life, how dare she glare at me when it is her brother who is the useless one ?”

Ji Yu, who was glaring at Liu Hui Ying was stunned when she saw that the man was glaring right back at her, what was this? How can this man be so shameless and wild? He snatched the case from her brother’s hands and now he was daring enough to glare at her, she was the only imperial concubine! He was supposed to lower his gaze instead of looking at her in the eyes!

” You….”

” I think I will take him with me,” Zhai Heng of course noticed that the two women were glaring at each other and of course he noticed the sparks that were flying in the air when the two of them looked at each other. With the chill that was climbing up on his spine, he knew that the two of them will get into a catfight sooner or later which was why he immediately interrupted Ji Yu and then looked at Liu Hui Ying who was standing behind him.

Really, her majesty was not someone who will back down was she? He thought when he saw that Liu Hui Ying was holding a glaring competition with Ji Yu making him look rather speechless.

Ji Yu was surprised when she saw that Zhai Heng was speaking up for the strange man who did not even have the smallest bit of manner within him and stared at him in shock, was this the same brother Heng who was all about rules and regulations? If so then why was he not scolding the young man who did not greet her?
