Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 523: A protective big brother

"Not at all, your majesty. Your servant has always been servile," Eunuch Li replied with a polite smile causing Liu Hui Ying to smile even more widely.

"You weren't this servile on the day I was thrown in the cold palace," Liu Hui Ying stated causing Eunuch Li to tremble even more. He knew this woman was not going to let him off so easily. However he could not say or do anything at this moment, though he was the head of the Eunuchs and held a lot of power in his hands but as long as Liu Hui Ying was doted on by his majesty, he could not offend her.

However back then he thought that Liu Hui Ying was done for which was why he was a bit arrogant in front of Liu Hui Ying. But now that she was back in power, Eunuch Li felt a bit regretful.

He raised his head and looked at Liu Hui Ying who was smiling down at him and felt a chill rise in his heart.

No, he felt a lot regretful.

He shouldn't have done that, if he hadn't done that then nothing like this would be happening to him now.

"Your majesty, this imperial decree," Eunuch Li wanted to announce it but Liu Hui Ying snatched it from him causing his high-pitched voice to get stuck in his throat.

Liu Hui Ying looked at the imperial decree and then read through it carefully before turning to look at Eunuch Li who looked half horrified and half offended. Seeing him like this, Liu Hui Ying smiled at him and then rolled the imperial decree in her hands and said, "Let this slide, Eunuch Li.

After all, I am in a hurry to get out of this place as I am so freaking busy and have tons of things to do." She scrunched up her face and then winked at Eunuch Li with both of her eyes as she added, "I mean since I am doted on by his majesty... I can do this right?"

"Cough," Eunuch Li spat out the mud from his mouth as he looked at the palanquin that was being carried away. Again. That witch with a broken mouth cursed him again.

He tried to push himself off the floor but as soon as he pushed himself off the floor, his feet lost their footing again and he fell into the pit face first again and then again and then again.

"Leave him be," Jia Li looked at Li Gang who was having fun while kicking and swapping his feet against Eunuch Li such that he fell into the pit again and again.

Li Gang rolled his eyes as he said, "I am just teaching him a small lesson and nothing else. Have you forgotten how he asked Liu Hui Ying to roll out of the courtyard? He was so freaking disrespectful."

Li Gang might act like he did not like Liu Hui Ying but in truth he cared for her like a big brother. Like a very, very protective big brother. Only he was allowed to tease and taunt Liu Hui Ying, if someone else did that then he would make sure that they received a fitting lesson.

"You are too protective of Hui Ying," Jia Li stated as she looked down at the Eunuch who had disrespected Liu Hui Ying like a vermin who needed to be squashed under her feet. If not for the fact that she was holding back, she would have made him feel the pain of getting castrated again.

"Says the one who broke his spine and almost caused him to lie on the bed for all his life," Li Gang stopped kicking Eunuch Li and left the poor man alone after he had eaten enough dirt.

Jia Li rolled her eyes as she crossed her arms and then said, "I didn't I almost broke his spine but I left him with enough breath to live, look he is alive."

"Is it the semantics that matters for you?"

"You can say that."
