Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 542 Whats the point of paying respect now?

Liu Hui Ying let Nanny Gong change her clothes and do her hair, as she bathed last night, twice at that in this cold weather. Nanny Gong had to clean her up after she was covered in blood, thus Liu Hui Ying did not need to bathe again in the morning.

She washed her face, wore a new set of clothes and then sat down to have breakfast.

"You must be hungry your majesty, you did not even eat much last night," Nanny Gong sighed as she asked the maids to serve three to four tables of meal. Usually, Liu Hui Ying ate more than five tables of food alone but yesterday she only ate three, it was really worrisome.

Liu Hui Ying who had just reached for the chopsticks turned to look at Nanny Gong and stared at her in bewilderment. Was this the same woman who asked her to diet because she was getting too fat? If this was what she gets after letting her sister take over then Liu Hui Ying did not think that it was too bad.

"That's right, your majesty. You should eat more," Xiao Ai placed the braised pig trotters in front of Liu Hui Ying. She then went ahead and said, "You were right when you said that food will never leave you, Your Majesty. Last night, you had no idea... I had so much trouble inviting his majesty to our palace."

As she spoke she pouted. Xiao Ai did not mention it to Liu Hui Ying earlier because she did not want to anger Liu Hui Ying and was worried about her but that did not mean that she was not angry. Xiao Ai was furious! She still remembered how she was barred from entering the Emperor's palace.

"Oh," Liu Hui Ying's attention and curiosity were hooked beside her even if nanny Gong shook her head and asked Xiao Ai to be quiet, it was already too late as Liu Hui Ying questioned, "What happened? Did His Majesty make things difficult for you?"

"You fool! For what reasons did you tell Her Majesty about his majesty spending the night with concubine Ji?" Nanny Gong really wanted to open Xiao Ai's head and pour all the water in her head out. She actually went crazy like this! What a fool!

Xiao Ai pouted and then retorted, "I did not do anything wrong! His majesty was the one who did wrong."

"Are you forgetting the fact that his majesty is not the husband of Her Majesty alone?" Nanny Gong poked Xiao Ai on the forehead as she sighed exasperatedly.

"Humph," Xiao Ai did know that his majesty was not the husband of her majesty alone but she really disliked the fact that Zhai Tianyu was unavailable when they needed him the most. Sure he came later on but that was all thanks to Yu Lingyun and Zhai Heng, what if the two of them did not come? What would have happened to Her Majesty then?

Nanny Gong looked at Xiao Ai and was speechless. She knew that Xiao Ai was being influenced by Liu Hui Ying. If not how could she act like this and even condemn his majesty?

She was getting more and more bold. Nanny Gong thought that it was time for her to have a good talk with Xiao Ai unless she ended up offending his majesty.

"His Majesty, the Emperor has arrived," the voice of Eunuch Li echoed in the Phoenix palace causing Xiao Ai and Nanny Gong to turn to look at the man walking towards them while dressed in a black robe. A golden dragon was embroidered on the fabric which made him look even more majestic.
