Detective Ghost Empress

Liu Dong Ming looked at the woman who had been scared silly by his little show, he noticed how the young girl was looking at his guard and then at him but he did not even change his expression as he continued to speak in a breezy manner, " I am the left prime minister of this imperial country who else?"

He did not speak further but Ji Yu understood what he was trying to say, it was both a denial and a warning which told her not to breathe a word about what she saw just now to anyone. Because even if she did then no one will believe her but Liu Dong Ming who was the left prime minister who was known for his ruthlessness would know and he would come after her.

Ji Yu pursed her lips as she looked at the man before she pushed herself off the ground by placing her fingers on the muddy ground and then using the strength of her arms to push herself off the ground.

She looked at Liu Dong Ming with a wary look in her eyes, now she knew that this man was not as simple as he looked, in fact with his strength, he could have killed everyone in the Ji family with ease but he was yet to make a move. Why?

" What do you want from me?" Ji Yu asked with a flickering look in her eyes which was caught by Liu Dong Ming who smiled at her and then said in a casual manner, " I am not going to ask for more, imperial concubine Ji, all I ask is some information as long as you fulfil your side of the deal, I will bring you to see Xiao Lin, after all, she died such tragically it's impossible for her to be at rest."

When Ji Yu heard that Xiao Lin's soul was not at peace she wanted to ask Liu Dong Ming what was going on and where Xiao Lin was but she knew that the man was not going to reply, her eyes flickered to the non-human aide behind Liu Dong Ming before she strapped her gaze back to Liu Dong Ming and asked, " What kind of information?"

Her question caused Liu Dong Ming to smile like a fisherman when the fish, he had been waiting for finally took the bait, with a lighthearted sigh, he walked over to where Ji Yu was standing and spoke, " There is this little slippery loach that always escapes my grasp, word is that he is hiding in your house.

Your grandaunt may call him priest but he is nothing but a criminal soul who should have been killed years ago —— I have a feud with him, bring information about him, what he looks like and what he does these days …where he is hiding, something along the lines, the more secrets you unravel the sooner you will see and talk with Xiao Lin, what do you say?"

Ji Yu furrowed her brows, she had indeed heard about this priest from her father who talked really highly of him but that priest was just an evil soul. How was that possible?

" You do not have to worry about anything else," as if sensing what was going on in Ji Yu's head, Liu Dong Ming stopped her from thinking too much and then said in a soft voice, " You just need to find that priest and bring any information that you can find about him, I hope that you will not beat the stick and startle the snake though …because your last meeting with Xiao Lin will depend on how good of a job you do."

With that, he turned on his heels to leave but Ji Yu who finally realised what he was asking from her stopped him by calling him, " You want me to betray my family, left prime minister Liu?"

Liu Dong Ming, who was already striding away turned his head and looked at Ji Yu with a smile, " Yes, I am asking you to betray them but don't you think that it is better to stab them first before they stab you? Don't tell me that you don't know what they want to do to you in the future.

In their eyes, you are nothing but an abandoned chess piece which they can pick or throw at ease but have you ever thought about the sweet taste of revenge when your family realises that the chess piece that they expected to be easily irreplaceable became a thorn that they can never take care of?"

With those words, Liu Dong Ming walked away leaving Ji Yu behind. Under the moonlight with the winds fluttering and scattering the flower petals, Ji Yu stayed on the same spot as Liu Dong Ming left her for a very long time.

.....

No one knew what happened at the flower valley in the morning, Ji Yang was surprised when he found out that a cavalry of his shadow guards was killed last night but he knew that it was Liu Dong Ming's retaliation for touching the queen.

Because of this reason, he could only grind his teeth and say nothing ——- even though he wished he could chop the head of that arrogant man in half!

Half of his shadow guard team was cleaned just like that! Did that man think that shadow guards were so easy to find these days?

Though Ji Yang was furious, he still kept a calm and harmless smile on his face, Ji Yu on the other hand took an absence under the premise that she was sick, though both grand dowager Empress and Ji Yang thought that she was doing too much for a mere maid, they still had some use for her which was why they did not bother with her and allowed her to do what she wanted to do.

On the other hand, Xiao Lin who was watching the Ji family talk and laugh without showing any remorse was feeling more and more angry. These people, they killed her —— they killed her without any mercy, how dare they laugh!ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
