Detective Ghost Empress

374 The queen fainted

This was crazy, this man was crazy and everyone else was crazy as well. Liu Hui Ying looked at Liu Dong Ming who had suggested that she will be staying with Zhai Tianyu and felt her mouth drop open. How can this man even say something so horrible? For her stay with this man who was standing beside her? Sure he was good-looking and everything but she was allergic to men!

Locking her up with a man was similar to asking her to jump off a cliff without a precautionary measure and then asking her whether she felt safe or not! No matter how desperate the Liu family was for her to give birth to an heir this was too impulsive!

Liu Hui Ying was not the only one who was stunned even the people who were around her were just as shocked especially Ji Yang who was gaping at Liu Dong Ming with his brows twitching. He raised his hands and said in a stern voice, ” Now look here left Prime Minister Liu, I understand that you are worried about the queen but according to the rules, she and his majesty should be resting in separate tents this is not the imperial castle where they can stay together.”

” According to the rules the one who should have come to this hunting grounds together with his majesty should have been the queen, right Prime minster Ji, if the rules can be bent for your family..then why can’t they be bent for my niece who is in severe danger?” Liu Dong Ming had her hands behind his back as he held them together and looked at Ji Yang who was staring at him in shock and silence. ” Your daughter can ride the carriage with his majesty for no reason making a joke out of the so-called rules but my niece’s safety needs to be discarded aside for the rules, why? Because your family is the one who is running the court now?”

Ji Yang was half humiliated and half angered as he looked at the man in front of him, this was why he hated Liu Dong Ming and the Liu family everyone was so effluent when it came to degrading him and his family even the second master Liu who was the queen’s father. He was supposed to be the foolish one among all but when his daughter was concerned ——

Sure enough, Father Liu who heard that there was a blast in the tent of his daughter came running at the fastest pace as he stood in the crowd and glared at Ji Yang while saying, ” Left prime minister is right! What is going on with the Ji family and their blatant neglect of the Queen? The dowry of my daughter is still under the hands of the grand dowager empress and was yet to be released completely and the fact that the warehouse that had treasures that were all saved by me for my daughter robbed off was also ignored——”

” My treasures were robbed of?!!” Liu Hui Ying who did not hear about anything like this before turned to look at her father for the first time when she saw the elderly man smile at her with an aggrieved expression on his face. The elderly man nodded and then said in a sobbing voice, “That’s right, the treasures that were all stored up by me to hand to you were taken away by robbers, your majesty!”

He then turned and pointed to Ji Mo who felt like he was being accused of a grave sin and shouted at the top of his lungs, ” But the Lord of the crime investigation department pretended not to hear me as he told me that he will look into the matter but it has been more than a month and yet he did not bring me any results! I can ignore that but I cannot ignore that they are ignoring your safety as well!”

Liu Hui Ying however no longer cared about anything past the fact that her treasures were stolen, she turned to look at her supposed-to-be father and asked in a quaking voice, ” H…how much was the cost of the treasures that were stolen?”

.....

Father Liu thought that his daughter who was the cutest of all was worried about him since he was the one who made the loss and was touched as he turned to look at his adorable daughter and answered, “Answering your majesty, it must have been more than ten thousand taels of gold, there were quite a lot of antics in the warehouse.”

“Ten thousand taels of gold????” Liu Hui Ying screeched as her hand reached out to the spot where her heart was, she quickly calculated the amount that was stolen from her and thought about what she could have done with the money. When she realised that the money was enough for her to live comfortably for years the throbbing in her chest worsened and her eyes turned ——-

Before rolling in the sockets and soon Liu Hui Ying who was shocked by the loss of a huge sum fainted right in front of the crowd.

‘ M….my money,’ she thought regretfully in her head before passing out.

” YOUR MAJESTY!”

” MY LADY!”

” OH.DEAR. MY DAUGHTER!”

Everyone who saw Liu Hui Ying faint was stunned while Nanny Gong and Xiao Ai tried to help Liu Hui Ying up from the ground, Liu Dong Ming who was watching the drama nodded and then turned to look at Ji Yang who was staring at Liu Hui Ying with a gaping mouth.

” See, my niece is so shocked that she fainted, I think that letting her stay with his majesty is the correct thing to do, lest something happens and no one was by her side then I am afraid that my niece will be traumatised.” Liu Dong Ming did not even bat an eye when he was bullshitting causing everyone to look at him with an expression that said ——

‘ Haha you are a funny man, the queen fainted because she heard her money was gone!’
