Chapter 398: What if he becomes a eunuch?
Liu Dong Ming did not say anything, instead, he turned on his heels and left the tent leaving Dowager Empress alone who snorted at his stubbornness before scoffing, " What an idiot."
On the other hand, there was another man who felt like he was the biggest idiot in the world, he turned to look at Xiao Lin who had her head lowered and did not dare to utter a peep, he continued to look at her before asking in a haunted sort of voice, " So…. You tried to kill the Empress?"
Xiao Lin dipped her head even lower just as Zhai Tianyu made a violent move to slap her in the face but just as the girl flinched Zhai Tianyu dropped his hand, he did not want to hit a woman and it was not as if he would be able to slap her either, even if he could see these ghosts, there was nothing else that he could do to them other than just watching.
"Are you an idiot? Even if you are an idiot, why did you have to drag me down as well? Now look at what you have done, I am kicked out of the tent because of you," Zhai Tianyu scolded Xiao Lin fiercely who lowered her head and started to cry again causing the man to be annoyed with her. " Cry, Cry, Cry… all you have been doing ever since I found you, is crying…can you do anything else?
Do you wish to see me dead or what? Your tears might as flood the entire city!"
Zhai Tianyu was really annoyed, he thought that Xiao Lin was killed because of some serious matter, who would have thought that this foolish girl will play right into the hands of the Ji family and even try to kill Liu Hui Ying, even though she was alive but ended up getting caught, Zhai Tianyu was afraid that Xiao Lin would still have to be executed, the punishment for assassinating the members of the imperial family was not a simple one either.
" You really have no brain, do you? Did Ji Yu knows that you came here?" Zhai Tianyu asked, he knew Ji Yu, even though she was rash and jumped to conclusions, she was rational in matters which concerned the life of others.
She would have rather taken the blame than charge ahead to kill Liu Hui Ying, which was why Ji Yang and the rest took the matter into his own hands, they knew that Ji Yu will not do it —— which was why they called Xiao Lin alone and did not let her see Ji Yu because the latter would have stopped her. freewebnσvel.cѳm
" Missy was the one——-" Xiao Lin opened her mouth but this time Zhai Tianyu ran out of patience and snapped at Xiao Lin, " Do you have no idea what kind of woman, Ji Yu is, Xiao Lin?
She might be stubborn, hot-headed and determined to get what she wants but she will never kill anyone not when …" he paused before stopping himself from speaking any further, he did not want to bring up the past that Ji Yu did not like listening about and heaved a sigh of annoyance.
" She is not a woman who would agree to the death of someone and if you think that Ji Yu agreed to this entire scheme, then either you were never able to see through her all these years or you never really paid attention to the real Ji Yu," after he was done speaking, he walked past Xiao Lin determined to ignore her, his anger was getting the best of him.
A part of him wanted to rush to the Ji family tent and ask what were they thinking but that will only give away years of his hard work, he had to stay hidden and lurk under the surface. If he showed even a single card then, he was afraid that the Ji family will be the first to bite him in the back before the Liu family could which was why he lowered his head and suppressed his anger.
He walked past the tent briskly and headed to the campfire that the three ghosts who served Liu Hui Ying started since he knew that he could not come in front of others with an image of the Emperor being kicked out of his own tent by his Empress, he had to hide deep in the forest, fortunately, the three ghosts were really deep inside the forest.
" Oh, look at that who graced us with his presence," commented Li Gang snickering like a little fool. " The warrior of justice, the saviour of the wronged—-hahaha."
Zhai Tianyu sat down on the log ignoring the chill that was surrounding the fire and turned to look at Li Gang before asking, " You knew?"
" Of course," Li Gang sat up straight from the log on which he was lying and then looked at Zhai Tianyu with an arrogant smirk. " How did the entire thing go? Did Liu Hui Ying agree? I bet she did, there is no way she will be able to ignore you, your majesty."
" Oh hush, Ah Gang," seeing that Li Gang was bent on teasing Zhai Tianyu until he was fuming mad, Jia Li stopped him and then turned to look at Zhai Tianyu with some concern on her face as she said, " I hope she was not really angry, the last time she got angry at a man, she summoned a ghost who had a fetish of nibbling on full butt cheeks...
we called it butt eating ghost and she let it chase the man…. The poor guy did not even know why his bottom felt colder every single night while feeling like something was nibbling on it."
Zhai Tianyu shivered when he heard Jia Li's words and then shook his head as he turned to look behind him, he was worried that he will be chased by a butt-eating ghost as well. Seeing that the man was scared, Li Gang's eyes flickered with teasing glint and he slipped a bit forward before pinching Zhai Tianyu on the bottom.
