Detective Ghost Empress

" We are going to protect you, Your Majesty," the two women spoke together, causing Liu Hui Ying To feel a sudden rush of warmth scatter all over her heart. She looked at the two women who despite their frail bodies were promising her that they would protect her and her lips curled in a smile.

" Hahaha, so you two will protect me now, huh?" She reached out and hugged Nanny Gong and Xiao Ai, feeling the swirl of loneliness in her heart vanish. Her eyes softened as she hugged the two of them, ah, guess she was not that alone.

Nanny Gong and Xiao Ai glanced at one another, they did not say anything as they could see the tears brimming in Liu Hui Ying's eyes. Instead, they let Liu Hui Ying hug them so that she could calm down.

The two of them had never thought that Liu Hui Ying was suffering as she was the Empress and had everything in her grasp, but today when they were forced to attend the court, the two of them understood that the weight of the crown and the cost of sitting on the throne was not light.

The two of them would be a fool if they still did not understand how much Liu Hui Ying was suffering while carrying this weight on her shoulders.

"But your majesty, I still do not understand," Nanny Gong remarked as she looked at the boils that were scattered all over Liu Hui Ying's arms and legs were slowly making their way to her neck. " How did you get so many of these boils? I mean are you sick?" As she asked, she leaned forward and pressed her hand on Liu Hui Ying's forehead to take a look at her temperature.

" I am fine, Nanny," Liu Hui Ying replied, but Nanny Gong gave her a hard look and said,

" No, you are not. You are covered with boils, and these can leave scars if they are not taken care of properly." Nanny Gong was truly worried that something was wrong with Liu Hui Ying, and she was not telling her the truth. Nanny Gong did not know when it started, but her Missy started to hide things from her.

She did not like it, when her Missy was young, she would tell her everything, but then she started to keep things from her.

This made Nanny Gong a bit upset.

No. A lot upset.

Liu Hui Ying glanced at Nanny Gong, who was just an inch away from pouting and shook her head before leaning forward. She parted her lips and then whispered," I bumped into a man."

Upon hearing Liu Hui Ying's response, Nanny Gong did not understand what she was trying to say. What did these bumps have to do with bumping into a man? Was that man covered in boils?

" Your Majesty——-"

" I am allergic to men, Nanny Gong," Liu Hui Ying had told the truth to Xiao Ai, but she had never told this to Nanny Gong as she would rather not listen to her crying. But now that Nanny Gong was looking at her with such an expression. It made her look like a scumbag who played with the heart of a little, naive girl.

Nanny Gong stared at Liu Hui Ying for two seconds after she finished speaking before tilting her head to the left. Her eyes popped out of her sockets as she silently asked Liu Hui Ying whether she was telling the truth and when Liu Hui Ying nodded solemnly, Nanny Gong turned to look at Xiao Ai who nodded and said,

" Her Majesty is speaking the truth, Nanny Gong. She cannot withstand being closer to men."

Nanny Gong blinked her eyes and then dropped her gaze to the floor as if she were slowly tasting the information that was fed to her. She seemed to be having a hard time digesting the information and by the time she was done digesting the information, her face was paler than a piece of paper.

Liu Hui Ying was allergic to men? Then … Then what about the wedding night? Whose blood was on the sheet?

" It was the blood of a pig," Liu Hui Ying replied, she could see what was going on in Nanny Gong's head. After living with Nanny Gong for so long, she was aware of what kind of woman Nanny Gong was. Thus, it was effortless for Liu Hui Ying to understand how Nanny Gong's head functioned.

" P…pig blood?" Nanny Gong quaked, her eyes rolled in her head as she fainted then and there. She thought that Her Majesty was going to be pregnant with a child eventually because of how close she and the Emperor were, but if she was allergic to men, what was the point of being close?

His Majesty cannot do anything!

" Nanny Gong!" Xiao Ai screamed as she caught Nanny Gong by wrapping her arm around her waist. She knew that Nanny Gong would be shocked, but she was not convinced that she would this shocked!

She actually fainted!

What in the world!

Xiao Ai helped Nanny Gong on the bed which was next to the cabinet from which Liu Hui Ying took the ointment out. Liu Hui Ying watched Xiao Ai help Nanny Gong on the bed, but suddenly, she felt a wave of strong yin energy. A frown etched on her face as she turned and looked behind her, but there was no one.

' What was that about?' Liu Hui Ying thought in her head.

" A…allergy?" Liu Dong Ming felt his heart was about to break. What did that man do to his daughters? One was dead, while the other was allergic to men.

Liu Dong Ming felt anger surge in his heart as he cracked the curved end of the armrest of the chair on which he was sitting. He never thought that Liu Hui Ying was actually allergic to men!

" Yes, my lord," General Du bowed his head as he repeated everything that happened at the cold palace. " It seems like Miss Qing, He has suffered a lot without you and Madam."

CRACK.

The armrest broke as splinters of wood fell on the ground. General Du looked up at Liu Dong Ming and sharply inhaled.

Someone was going to suffer.
