Chapter 440: Small grave
Liu Hui Ying's eyes widened as she rolled to the side and looked at the figure which was dressed in white, as soon as she dodged the person in white who was holding the large axe in their hands could not stop themselves in time and then ended up slashing the bed on which Liu Hui Ying was sleeping.
Seeing that the culprit had shown themselves, Liu Hui Ying did not wait for them to gain momentum instead she used her feet as quickly as she could and then swept her leg to knock the person on the ground with her move but the culprit knew what she was aiming at which was the culprit left the axe which he used to attack Madam Qin and concubine Qin behind and turned to run out of the tent.
Behind her Nanny Gong and Xiao Ai who were asleep were knocked senseless as they looked at the figure which was dashing out of the tent, what was happening? That ghost was attacking the Qin family, right? How come it came to attack the queen?
" Help!" Xiao Ai was the first one to snap out of her daze as she shouted for help.
" Catch that murderer!" Liu Hui Ying shouted right after Xiao Ai seeing that the person was going to get away from her grasp she ordered her three ghosts to take possession of the murderer but for some reason, the three were not able to take hold of the murderer's body which caused Liu Hui Ying to grit her teeth as she screamed again," Help someone! I am getting attacked!"
Her voice was not small as many guards who were guarding her tent heard her voice and rushed to see what was happening when they saw a white figure rushing out of the tent which belonged to the Emperor while the two guards who were supposed to be keeping an eye on the surrounding making sure that no one would be able to enter the tent of her majesty were on the ground snoring as if they have fainted.
" Someone call his majesty! The queen was attacked!"
" Catch that person!"
" Go! Go! What are you scared of ?"
Immediately the entire hunting ground was once again filled with screams and shouts as some guards chased after the figure who was running away in the forest while some turned to call Zhai Tianyu who was outside with Yu Lingyun and Zhai Heng.
As the guards chased after the figure, Liu Hui Ying stepped out of the tent and looked at the figure which was running away behind her Nanny Gong and Xiao Ai was clutching her arms, they were worried that the thing will come back again or maybe their mistress would chase after that thing again.
Liu Hui Ying was in no mood to chase after the person who was already far from her grasp and narrowed her eyes as she carefully started thinking about everything from the start because why in the world had that thing attacked her, it did not make sense at all.
….
" I told you not to join in the fanfare, your majesty, look at this! Look what happened"! Nanny Gong was still trembling as she scolded Liu Hui Ying for being too impulsive, in her eyes, the thing attacked Liu Hui Ying because she was the first one to chase after it.
Nanny Gong looked at Liu Hui Ying who had her head lowered and then sighed, she didn't want to scold Liu Hui Ying but she needed to tell her mistress that she could not just do whatever she wanted which was why Nanny Gong narrowed her eyes and then said sternly, " Your majesty, I understand that you are braver than the rest but please do refrain from making such rash decisions, you never know what might happen——" Enjoy reading at m v-le-mp-yr
" My Queen!" Zhai Tianyu rushed inside interrupting Nanny Gong's lecture causing both Nanny Gong and Xiao Ai to step out of the tent while Liu Hui Ying heaved a sigh of relief, she was thankful for Zhai Tianyu's arrival since she was worried that if not for his abrupt arrival, Nanny Gong would have continued to scold her.
" Your esteemed majesty," Liu Hui Ying greeted Zhai Tianyu who was sweating with a bow of her head.
Zhai Tianyu however was in no mood to listen to her greeting, he looked at the bed which was slashed by the culprit and then turned to look at Liu Hui Ying who was sitting on the couch and then asked, "Are you all right?"
" I am all right, that murderer cannot kill me even if he takes seven rebirths," Liu Hui Ying remarked which caused Zhai Tianyu's eyes to widen a little, seeing this Liu Hui Ying arched a brow as she asked, " Don't tell me that you thought that the culprit was really a ghost?"
" Of course not!" Zhai Tianyu had indeed thought that the culprit was a ghost after all, he now knew that there were indeed ghosts walking on the surface of this world but now that he noticed Liu Hui Ying looking at him with an expression which questioned his wisdom, he immediately changed his words and then said, " I was just surprised that you were able to figure out so soon."
Liu Hui Ying rolled her eyes and then turned to look at the three ghosts ignoring Zhai Tianyu and asked, " Did you find something?"
" Nothing, that person is carrying a talisman which makes it impossible for us to approach them but…" Li Gang frowned as he added, " I don't know whether or not this is of any use but that person stopped by the small grave which you found before the autumn hunt started.
I saw that person dropping what looked like blood on the mound of the grave …Hui Ying, tell me why would someone drop the blood of a human on a rabbit's grave?"
Liu Hui Ying's eyes flashed as she curled her lips, " There is a possibility that the grave never belonged to that rabbit."
