Bab 10: Tell me
Qui Ai was terrified by Liu Hui Ying's expression, she was so scared that she didn't even dare to ask why and simply nodded.
" Empress Liu please take the Imperial decree offered by the Emperor!" The loud voice of the general echoed in the room, Liu Hui Ying raised her brow and got up from her chair, now that her ghost employees have done their work surely the Emperor would have sent word to let her out of the courtyard? She walked towards the front door of her room but was quickly stopped by Qui Ai who seemed to have gotten hold of her bearings. " Your majesty what are you doing? As the Empress you should never open the door for anyone beneath yourself, the general's position is high but he is still under you, so you cannot open the door for him, let me do it."
" Oh, is that so?" Liu Hui Ying chuckled with a dark expression, she wasn't allowed to open the door for him but he was allowed to point the sword at her was that it? Heh. She might have been temporarily discarded but the disrespect was just too much!
Liu Hui Ying was very angry.
Liu Hui Ying was infuriated to the point of no return.
" That damn general!" Enraged she didn't hold her shout back at all, causing her loud voice to echo in the courtyard causing everyone including the damn General standing outside to be left stunned, still clutching on the imperial decree that he received he pointed at the door of the Empress's room and said with a slightly confused expression. " The Empress did she just curse at me?"
One of the soldiers in his squad nodded his head after hesitating for a while.
" I thought so too because there is no other general except me in this palace," he swept his hair back looking at the door of the Empress's room, he was going to shout again but then he saw the door being opened by Qui Ai. Seeing the little maid, as usual, he shot her a soft smile that was neither too flirtatious nor too friendly but surprisingly this time the little maid didn't blush or gave him a smile in return instead, she stared at him before snorting in a very unfriendly manner then turned around to walk back inside.
What in the world?
Yu Lingyun touched his face before turning to look at his soldiers and asked, " Have I gone ugly? Did the glow on my face turn dim? Or do I not look good?"
This was the face many women were willing to die for. How in the world a little maid like Qui Ai dared to snort at this gorgeous face of his? Was she looking down at him?
" You still look as handsomely dashing as you always do, General," one of the soldiers answered before adding, " maybe Miss Qui is upset because of what happened tonight?"
Yu Lingyun nodded his head and snapped his fingers at the soldier who spoke before he pointed at him. " You know what I think you are right, she must be angry at me."
With that, he turned around cleared his throat and walked inside the room but as soon as he strode in, his feet paused in the air and he blinked because it was one thing for Qui Ai to be glaring at him but even the ever gentle Empress stared at him with a gaze that could be described as a fierce tigress staring at her prey waiting for her turn to jump on it.
What in the world happened in just a few hours? The Empress wasn't only cursing at him but she was also staring at him as if she wanted to eat him raw.
Yu Lingyun smiled before stretching out the imperial decree in his hands and said, " Your majesty, please take this…its the decree from the Emperor."
Liu Hui Ying peered at the scroll wrapped in a flashy red paper that Yu Lingyun was calling decree and said, " What is it? My execution date?" She knew that she wasn't going to die but that didn't mean that she was going to let those who were behind this incident off so easily. If these idiots would have done what they did now then she wouldn't have transmigrated here… she would still be in her world and would have relished the sweet taste of promotion but no! These idiots pushed that woman to die and now she was stuck here, for god knows how long…her promotion, her big house!"
Her words caused Yu Lingyun to choke on the air that he just breathed and coughed out loud before he hurriedly cleared his throat and said, "That's not it, your majesty. The Emperor has granted you amnesty——"
" Amnesty?" Liu Hui Ying parroted the word before letting out a disdainful scoff as she crossed her arms in front and said, " Amnesty for what? What did I do wrong? Tell me. I am standing right here, tell me. Come on."
This was the first time that the Empress was acting so aggressively, Yu Lingyun who was only used to the delicate and calm Empress, was a bit stunned at her overbearing attitude.
" Look at that man, he looks so surprised," snorted Jia Li as she watched the scene happening in the main room with Li Gang and Grandma Lan Fen.
Grandma Lan Fen smiled with a sly hint as she said, "Well of course he is, I don't think the Empress was half as confident as Hui Ying. That girl has always been vengeful, she never lets anyone off for causing her trouble and this time it's a big one."
" I am surprised that she hasn't chopped that man's thing up with his sword up," chimed in Li Gang. " She is dealing with this matter really calmly."
" Of course not," snorting Jia Li looked down at Li Gang who was crouching on the floor to look at the scene in front of him. " She is only waiting, as the wise men say best for the last, the one who will face a sword pointed at his crotch will be that ruthless king."
