Detective Ghost Empress-Chapter 541 Why is this palace cold?

As if afraid that Liu Hui Ying would tell him that he should continue sharing his memorial tablet with the bandit, Li Gang immediately said, "He farts a lot. I cannot stay with him, if you want to keep him then prepare a separate memorial tablet for him."

Li Gang was truly unlucky. He was the one man in the team of women and thus he had to share his memorial tablet with this old bandit ghost. If this ghost bandit could have controlled his stomach, he would not have said anything but this ghost couldn't even control his digestion and filled his memorial tablet with unsettling scents! It was truly horrible.

The entire night he couldn't sleep nor could he cultivate. He could only roam around the palace startling a few guards who heard the sounds of someone groaning. Fortunately, they did not have a lot of guts and fainted or else he would have troubled Liu Hui Ying by spreading the rumours that there was a ghost haunting the newly built Phoenix palace.

"I...I didn't do it because I wanted to," the bandit ghost remarked with an embarrassed expression. He turned to look at Liu Hui Ying and then said in a troubled voice, "This was the first time I could eat a meal in years and I ate a bit too much which caused me indigestion. But now I am fine."

"By burning all the hairs in my nose?" Li Gang shot back causing Lu Si to become even more embarrassed. He rubbed his nose and then said, "I thought ghosts did not have nose hair."

Li Gang rolled his eyes. He exasperatedly said with a shake of his head, "That's just a figure of speech but if I had nose hair then they would have been burned. For sure because those were not farts. Those were atomic bombs and you know that."

"Atomic what?" Lu Si was a ghost of the ancient era and he did not catch onto what Li Gang meant by atomic bomb. He wanted to question the man but Liu Hui Ying stopped him.

"Oy, matted hair. Look here," she whistled causing Lu Si to turn and look at Liu Hui Ying. He touched his hair which was indeed dirty and matted before saying, "It's indeed matted but please call me Lu Si or Ah Si. The reason my hair is dirty like this is because the tyrant Master Liu did not let us have it easy and we had to stay in the forest while scavenging and fighting for our lands——"

"Eish! Do you think I have the time to listen to your tough life?" Liu Hui Ying jerked her head irritably and scolded Lu Si. "Have you forgotten because of you my entire family was about to be executed and I was about to be dethroned. You better not start with me understand?"

Experience tales with empire

Lu Si immediately shut up as he pursed his lips.

Only then did Liu Hui Ying snort and then ask, "You don't have to sell pity in front of me. I said that I would help you in finding your daughter, so of course I will find your daughter for you."

Lu Si heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that Liu Hui Ying would be similar to those tyrants who suppressed him and would refuse to help him after getting what she wanted, fortunately the descendants of that tyrant seemed reasonable.

"Now tell me, what do you remember about your daughter?" Liu Hui Ying questioned the bandit ghost. Since she wanted to look for his daughter, she at least needed to have some sort of special identification of that girl, only then would she be able to find her.

"She is the cutest little girl, with two buns and a mole under her eyes. When she calls me daddy, my daughter looks the cutest," when Lu Si spoke about his daughter, he was really happy. His eyes were filled with happiness as he sighed happily. He really missed his daughter as he did not know how his daughter was living these past few years.

Liu Hui Ying scrunched up her brows and waited for Lu Si to speak but the latter stopped speaking causing her lips to twitch. She then said to him angrily, "And? What else? Do you want me to look for your daughter among all the two buns and cute-looking girls?"

"She is the cutest," Lu Si spoke as if he could not understand what Liu Hui Ying was trying to say.

When Liu Hui Ying saw that the man was still not getting what she was trying to say, she rolled her eyes a couple of times and then said, "Every daughter is cutest for her father. I want to ask if there are any special features other than a mole under her eyes that could describe her…"

"She is ten years old," replied Lu Si dumbly. It was not that he did not want to tell Liu Hui Ying but other than these few things, he did not remember anything else.

Liu Hui Ying rubbed the space between her brows and then said to Lu Si, "I understand—— wait, what do you mean by that she is ten years old… she was ten years old when you died or did you see her just recently?"

If he had seen her recently then he wouldn't have asked her to look for his daughter, right?

"She was ten years old when the revolt broke out and we fought against the tyrant ruler," replied Lu Si proudly. "My daughter told me that she was going to take those tyrants down with me when she grows up. She is really brave."

Liu Hui Ying smiled with a fake admiration-filled expression, she nodded and then said, "That's great. Fantastic, she is really brave ... but when was this revolt? I mean how many days, months and years went by after the revolt happened?"

She questioned with a slight raise of her brows and Lu Si fell silent.

-------------------

Lu Si was stumped. He only knew that it was a few years ago that he faced the tyrants and then led his team to rebel but other than that he did not remember anything else. He looked at Liu Hui Ying and then replied, "I...I don't know I only know that it was a few months ago."

Liu Hui Ying however did not think that it was just a few months ago, the grudge that this old bandit ghost held was severe and it was at least a few years old. The fact that he did not remember the time when he died or anything else other than the fact that he had a daughter was enough for Liu Hui Ying to know that he was dead for a long time.

She narrowed her eyes and then asked, "You don't remember when you died or the rebellion started but do you at least remember what was the name of your village?"

"Of course I do! It was called Yue Village," Lu Si did not and would not forget the name of the village for which he put his life on the line. He remembered the name of the village and he also remembered the way he died.

When Liu Hui Ying heard his response, she was already aware of what had happened. Because Lu Si had a great sense of responsibility towards his village, he only remembered about his village and nothing else.

However, this was enough. As long as she had information about his village, she could still deal with the matter in her hands.

"Your majesty, please wash your hands and then come to eat," Nanny Gong arrived inside the room while bringing a small table that had a bowl of porridge sitting on top of it. Behind her was Xiao Ai who was holding a similar table with a bowl of soup on it.

Liu Hui Ying nodded as she slid down the bed and then walked over to the bathing room while Nanny Gong and Xiao Ai placed the bowls and utensils on the table.

Liu Hui Ying washed her hands and mouth and when she stepped out of the bathing room, she heard Nanny Gong say to Xiao Ai, "This palace is even colder than the cold palace. What is going on? Do you think we need more braziers?"

When Liu Hui Ying heard Nanny Gong speak, she turned to look at Xiao Ai. And then turned her attention to the six ghosts who were standing in the room.

With these six ghosts, it was not a surprise that the room was colder than the cold palace as there was an additional ghost standing in the room. She glared at the five ghosts who immediately controlled their yin energy leaving only Lu Si to look at them in confusion as he could not understand why they had to hide their Yin energy.

However, when he saw Liu Hui Ying glaring down at him, he immediately sucked in his yin energy. No matter what, he would listen to this woman as she did not seem easy to be offended.
