Chapter 421: Tying the bow to her coffin.
Liu Hui Ying was indeed thinking about killing the tiger. It was not that she wanted the money for living a leisurely life given that there was no such as leisure in this place where life-threatening dangers continued to pop in front of her every time she turned her back.
But she needed this private stash of money because she was running out of talismans and incense herbs which she used when she was meditating, it helped her in keeping her sister's spirit in restraints.
This was an expense that cannot be written down or else she would be arrested for spreading feudal superstitions, which was why what she needed very much at this moment was nothing more than private savings.
Liu Hui Ying's eyes glinted sharply as she ignored Xiao Ai and Nanny Gong's screams which were echoing in her ears from behind. If only they closed their mouths and stopped shrieking so shrilly!
" Your majesty! Please come with us, this is not a child's play!" Nanny Gong screamed at Liu Hui Ying, earlier when they heard the screaming they all ran out of the tent to see what was happening and when Nanny Gong saw that the tiger which was locked in the cage had escaped she nearly fainted out of anxiety but before she could faint, she saw Liu Hui Ying heading towards the tiger!
That was right! The queen walked towards the tiger instead of running away like the other concubines. Nanny Gong who was going to faint immediately straightened up when she saw this 'exciting' scene in the eyes of others.
She wanted to drag Liu Hui Ying back to where she was standing this way she could protect her missy! But even though Nanny Gong who was terrified went ahead and tried to drag Liu Hui Ying with her, the latter refused to budge from the spot where she was standing which made Nanny Gong both furious and anxious.
"That's right your majesty, that thing is a tiger and not a human! It will not be so easy for you to take it down!" Even Xiao Ai who had full confidence in her missy could not help but yell in panic.
Though Ji Yang was rather confident of this plan but ...his gaze fell on the Dowager Empress who was calmly watching the show and then turned his gaze on Liu Hui Ying who was staring at the tiger who was brandishing his claws on tents and tables violently, rather calmly.
Seeing the two women acting so calm, Ji Yang could not help but be slightly flustered.
It's all right, there was no way the queen and the Dowager Empress will be able to get out of the grasp of this wild tiger! Ji Yang calmed down after he repeatedly told him that everything was still under control.
He glanced at Liu Hui Ying who stood straight without the slightest bit of fear on her face and pursed his lips. But just in case...?
He turned to look at his shadow guard who nodded his head and then slipped into the shadows, as soon as he moved the female shadow guard who was hiding in the dark corners also moved.
Qui Rui was stationed to protect Liu Hui Ying, of course, she will not let anyone harm the person whom she was protecting. The only reason she did not make a move just now was because Liu Hui Ying looked like she had everything under her control but that did not mean that she will stay quiet if someone else was to make the first move!
With her feet moving as quickly as possible, she followed after the shadow guard which was heading towards Liu Hui Ying. She waited until he was a bit close to Liu Hui Ying but still far from the queen to cause any actual damage and then whipped out her sword as she used the tip of her feet and jumped over into the sky before coming to a clean landing in the front of the shadow guard.
The second her feet landed on the ground which was covered with grass Qui Rui whipped out her sword and aimed it at the neck of the shadow guard from the Ji family and said in a grave voice, " You shall not take another step closer to the queen!"
