Detective Ghost Empress-Chapter 492: The start of investigation ——2
Zhai Tianyu's senses were really good, he had practiced martial arts ever since he was a kid and he knew that someone had snuck behind him just now which was why he suddenly paused and turned around but when he turned around he did not see anyone.
A slight furrow settled between his brows as he turned to look at Ji Yu who looked back at him with a slight raise of her brows.
" Is something the matter?" Ji Yu did not see anything and was thus a bit confused as to why Zhai Tianyu suddenly stopped walking. She looked around but did not see anyone, was there an assassin hiding in the dark?
" Just now I felt as if someone snuck behind me," Zhai Tianyu answered honestly as he turned around after finding no one, he had a feeling that Liu Hui Ying had come to see him but given her anger and temper she would not leave without hurting him.
However, as soon as he turned around he heard a pfft and then turned to look at Ji Yu who was rather calm.
" Whats the matter?" He questioned with a furrow settled between his brows, why was she laughing all of a sudden?
" Nothing, I just think that you are being over-sensitive," replied Ji Yu, her eyes gazing at the paper note that was stuck on Zhai Tianyu's back. In this entire harem who had the guts to call Zhai Tianyu, a dog and that too in heat? Other than Liu Hui Ying she could not think of anyone else at the moment.
But when did she do it and why didn't Zhai Tianyu have any idea that she had done something like this?
" And you think this is funny because?" Zhai Tianyu did not forget to persist as he continued to ask the reason for Ji Yu's laugh just now.
Ji Yu coughed lightly and then stated calmly, "It's nothing I just think that your expression of scrunching up your nose and brows was a bit funny, your majesty."
Though Zhai Tianyu did not think that Ji Yu was speaking the truth, he did not insist anymore. He turned on his heels and then headed back to the Dragon courtyard where everyone was waiting for him to come up with a plan.
"I have arranged for a few of the guards who were with Liu Yu Nan," Zhai Heng spoke as soon as Zhai Tianyu walked inside the study. He was looking down at the document in his hands, earlier this morning he went to the yamen and questioned a few guards who were trapped inside the prison cells and asked them what happened last night. "They all said that the money was stolen by a ghost——"
" Pfft hahaha!"
Zhai Heng was still speaking when Yu Lingyun who just arrived at the study burst out laughing while pointing at Zhai Tianyu who stood in front of Zhai Heng.
" Whats the matter with you?" Zhai Heng asked with a reproachful voice. " Can you not see that you are in the presence of his majesty, the Emperor?"
They were working at this moment how could Yu Lingyun laugh as if they were playing around?
Yu Lingyun coughed a few times before he walked over to where Zhai Tianyu was and then said, " Forgive me, your majesty, just give me a few seconds as your childhood friend," before Zhai Tianyu could refuse Yu Lingyun turned him around causing even Zhai Heng's eyes to widen.
His lips twitched violently as he looked at the note that was sticking to the back of his brother and couldn't help but ask, " Did you meet with Her Majesty?"
Given that her majesty was the only one who dared to treat Zhai Tianyu like this, Zhai Heng did not believe that anyone else would dare to treat Zhai Tianyu like this.
" What are you two on about?" Zhai Tianyu asked with a frown, what the hell was wrong with these two?
Zhai Heng did not stomp on Zhai Tianyu's dignity anymore as his brother had already suffered enough disrespect. He walked forward and then snatched the paper before handing it to Zhai Tianyu who took it and then read it with a frown before muttering, " What the hell?"
When and where did he act like a dog in heat? Zhai Tianyu was not angry. As compared to what he imagined this could be considered a small prank but when he thought about how he walked around with this paper on his back he felt like he had lost all of his face!
" When did she——" Zhai Tianyu stopped mid-question as he realized the soft touch he felt when he was standing in the garden, back then Ji Yu also laughed like this but when he asked her what happened, she told him that it was nothing. Good very good.
One was his official wife and one was his concubine and childhood friend, both of them made a fool out of him.
". LIU HUI YING! JI YU!"
In the middle of a cold afternoon, Zhai Tianyu's furious scream echoed in the dragon palace, spreading the rumour that both the imperial concubine and the Empress had lost favour which caused a flurry of concubines rushing to gain favour from Zhai Tianyu which gave the latter another headache.
On the other hand, Liu Hui Ying had no idea that something like this happened in the palace. She had snuck out of the palace and with Xiao Lin playing the role of the Empress she was not worried. She walked around the market in the disguise of a man.
" Where should we go first?" Jia Li asked, should they go to the yamen or the Liu house first?
Liu Hui Ying paused and then turned to look at Jia Li before saying, " The first rule of investigation is to go to the scene of the crime. So we are going to the crime scene first, let's check whether or not the crime scene has any sort of arrays drawn first."
