Detective Ghost Empress-Chapter 504: The difference in us

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

Xiao Ai however knew that there was nothing that she could do in this situation. She was wearing the Phoenix robes and was also wearing the crown of Empress on her head, she could not possibly stand next to the servants, right?

When she thought about how she was wearing the face of her mistress, she decided to take a deep breath and then head up the stairs where Zhai Tianyu looked at her with a peculiar gaze. When Xiao Ai met with Zhai Tianyu's gaze, she stiffened momentarily before crying in her heart, ' Your majesty! Where did you go? Come back soon, I cannot do this,'

Xiao Ai was really scared, coupled with the fact that everyone was drilling a hole in her back—- from the concubines to the ministers on the Ji family side, she felt like she was going to faint. Even the pressure of the crown on her head became twice much as heavier as it was before.

She could not fathom how Liu Hui Ying walked into the court with a confident stride with her head raised when she was facing such pressure every time she stepped inside the court.

' We thought that her majesty was not suffering and she was acting willfully every time she said that she did not want to attend the court…but this was how she felt every time,' Xiao Ai thought in her head as she slowly climbed the stairs. Every time she took a step, she felt like her legs were shaking with the weight of the crown that was placed on her head.

It took a long time before Xiao Ai sat down on the throne. No sooner did she sit down than she heard Zhai Tianyu whisper, " Where is your mistress? When is she coming back?" Stay connected through novelbuddy.com

Zhai Tianyu was already aware of the fact that Liu Hui Ying had left the palace in the morning. He was waiting to settle the matter of her sticking that note on his back but before he could settle anything with Liu Hui Ying, Ji Yang came rushing to him saying that he wanted to deal with the Liu family as someone had attacked him when he was returning home and his life was in danger.

As the 'puppet' Emperor with his grandmother and Ji Yang forcing him, he couldn't possibly say no and agreed. But he was banking his hopes on Liu Hui Ying that she would be back with evidence soon enough.

Xiao Ai was shocked when she heard Zhai Tianyu's question but then she thought about it carefully and decided that it was nothing big. After all, his majesty and her majesty were husband and wife—— there shouldn't be any secrets between the two of them.

" She is not back yet.. the case's hearing was scheduled for tomorrow, Your Majesty," Xiao Ai told Zhai Tianyu who pursed his lips nervously.

Liu Hui Ying was not back? If she was not back then he needed to think of a way to delay the judgment!

" It seems like Her Majesty is already finding the weight of the crown too heavy," Ji Yang stated with an undisguised disdain and contempt. He was clutching his arm that was in a sling. As he turned to look at Xiao Ai who was portraying Liu Hui Ying.

When the latter saw Ji Yang looking at her, she was about to flinch but then she remembered what Nanny Gong told her and then she morphed her expression into one which was similar to Liu Hui Ying.

Ji Yang who was stared down by Xiao Ai sneered before turning his attention to Zhai Tianyu as he cried, " Your majesty, you need to hand me justice tonight. As you can already see, I was nearly assassinated by the Liu family if not for the fact that I still had some time left in the world, I would have died."

As he spoke he did not forget to shed a few tears. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

It was as if he had suffered great injustice.

Zhai Tianyu was not shocked by the things that were coming out of Ji Yang's mouth as he knew that the man was banking on his connection with him for Zhai Tianyu to hand the judgement in his favour.

And this was what Zhai Tianyu feared, if he used his own wisdom then he would raise Ji Yang and Grand Dowager Empress's suspicions, he hadn't even joined more hands in his army. There was no way he would be able to go against the Ji family for the time being especially when the Liu family was gone.

He turned to look at Liu Dong Ming who was calm despite the blame that was pushed on his head and questioned, " What do you have to say about this accusation, Lord Dong Ming?"

Liu Dong Ming very carelessly raised his head as he looked at Ji Yang and then turned to look at Liu Yu Yan whose legs were broken by Ji Yang. His eyes flickered slightly as he curled his lips and then said, " I can only say that this was not done by our family, Your Majesty."

" You are still trying to quibble!" Ji Yang shouted at Liu Dong Ming indignantly. " What evidence do you have that you did not assassinate me? In this situation, only your family is the most suspicious!" As he spoke. Ji Yang got more and more excited as he straightened his neck. He resembled a chicken that was trying to croon.

Liu Dong Ming arched a brow as he stood up from his chair, with his hands behind his back he took a few steps forward causing Ji Yang to take a few steps back. When the latter saw that Liu Dong Ming came to a stop in front of him Ji Yang could not help but raise his head as he looked at Liu Dong Ming who narrowed his eyes.

With Liu Dong Ming's height, there was no other choice in front of Ji Yang.

" The fact that you are standing alive here is the biggest proof. We the Liu never make mistakes in things that we take in our hands."
