Detective Ghost Empress

This was the first time Xiao Ai was filing a complaint in front of someone but she did an excellent job because Yu Lingyun turned to look at the guards with an enraged expression as he demanded, "What is the meaning of this? Why are you stopping her from calling his majesty? Do you think that his majesty's nightly endeavours are more important than her majesty getting attacked by assassins?"

Though Yu Lingyun was usually very cheerful and hardly ever got angry because his expression would become so horrifying that he would scare the living daylights out of anyone and because this time it was Xiao Ai who was troubled, he was even angrier at the guards. How dare they push Xiao Ai like that? Did they want him to rip their heads off, was that it?

Sure enough, as soon as he glared at the guards stiffened and lowered their heads before one of them said,

"General Yu, it's not our fault. Every night a maid or two would come relying the same message to us and when his majesty rushes down there is nothing which caused us to be scolded."

The guards were only trying to save their jobs and nothing else.

Yu Lingyun however did not feel like forgiving them as he stared down at the two guards and sneered, "Just because you don't want to be scolded, you pushed her on the ground? Are you even men?" Yu Lingyun's bangs fell on his forehead creating shadows over his eyes which made him look even more merciless as he glared at the two guards who shivered in return.

Xiao Ai wanted the guards to be scolded as well but when she thought of the situation that was going on at the Phoenix Palace, she turned to Yu Lingyun who was standing behind her and said, "General Yu, please come with me. Her majesty …her majesty is in trouble." At this moment, she was heartbroken.

When she saw Zhai Tianyu bantering with Liu Hui Ying earlier in the morning, she thought that Zhai Tianyu was in love with her missy but in the night he turned around and called Ji Yu to serve him. Even if her missy could not serve his majesty, he should have at least refrained himself these past few days right?

Liu Hui Ying was locked in the cold palace and yet his majesty was having nightly adventures with Concubine Ji no wonder, these guards were looking down on her missy. It was all because of his majesty!

Yu Lingyun could also see that something terrible had happened because Xiao Ai was not faking her anxiety. More importantly, Liu Hui Ying was not someone who would send her maid to relay a fake emergency message to call Zhai Tianyu when she wanted him to be as far from her as possible.

He glared at the two guards and said, "If something happens to Her Majesty then you can forget about keeping your heads much less your jobs." His words held a threatening edge which caused the guards to shiver in fright.

The two of them wanted to chase after Yu Lingyun and Xiao Ai but were stopped by Zhai Heng.

"What? Do you think that you two are stronger than General Yu?" He taunted the two guards who paused and lowered their heads in embarrassment and humiliation.

Zhai Heng snorted. He did not feel sorry for these two guards. If Liu Hui Ying was not strong enough, who knows what might have happened to her but given how panicked Xiao Ai was, there must have been some accidents. Zhai Heng was a bit scared as well, he did not know what happened but he knew that he first needed to call Zhai Tianyu.

Even if he was worried about Liu Hui Ying, he could not do anything for her as he did not have the right to enter her life.

Zhai Heng admired Liu Hui Ying but he knew his limits, even if she was the kind of woman who had won his heart, Zhai Heng was not as shameless as to snatch a woman from his brother.

He turned to look at the guards and said, "Can I go inside or do I have to wait as well?"

The guards hurriedly opened the gates of the Dragon Palace as Zhai Heng rushed inside at a brisk pace.

When the guards saw Zhai Heng rushing inside, they could not help but shiver. Even Zhai Heng was rushing as if he was being chased by something dangerous, seeing him run inside the palace made the guards gulp. Yu Lingyun and Zhai Heng were the closest aides of Zhai Tianyu, if they were showing such reactions over Liu Hui Ying getting attacked, how would his majesty react?

The two guards stared at one another and saw the dread in each other eyes.

They were doomed.

…

Inside the palace, Zhai Tianyu jumped inside from the window of his bed chambers and found Ji Yu sitting on his bed reading a book.

"You haven't slept yet?" He asked Ji Yu who raised her head from the book and looked at him.

"No," Ji Yu placed the book that she was clutching in her hands on the cabinet and then said, "If I went to sleep so early, his majesty would have to start drinking nutritious soup from tomorrow onwards."

The Grand Dowager Empress could care less about Ji Yu not getting pregnant with a child but she would definitely feel threatened in Ji Xinyi's case which was why she would try her best to make sure that Zhai Tianyu would get Ji Xinyi pregnant in just one night.

If she had gone to sleep then the Grand Dowager Empress who liked to pay attention to their night endeavours of Zhai Tianyu would be really troubled.

Zhai Tianyu touched the tip of his nose before saying, "Is she still keeping an eye on us?"

"Of course she is, my aunt, is planning to send Xinyi to your bed chambers. If you start underperforming then it would be a cause of concern for her."
