31 dical skills
” You can do sothing much better than playing Guqin?” The Grand Empress dowager clenched her fingers so tightly that her knuckles turned white but she still smiled at Liu Hui Ying, she was indeed rather upset with what Liu Hui Ying has said just now, Ji Yu was not just her the granddaughter in law that she loved and adored but she was also her grand-niece, she has watched Ji Yu grow up in front of her, how can she let anyone disrespect her like this? ” What else can you do sword dance or sothing of the sort?”
As far as she knew Liu Hui Ying was indeed a woman who knew the womanly arts much better than Ji Yu but she has always been lacking, unlike Ji Yu who was a genius, Liu Hui Ying has to try hard for everything that she had in her life, the grand dowager empress didn’t even consider Liu Hui Ying as a threat to her niece, the only reason she was able to wear that crown of Empress was all because she was born in a family much bigger than her Ji Yu!
” Oh no, that’s ... I don’t think I can compare my skills with concubine Ji when it cos to that,” said Liu Hui Ying, they wanted to embarrass her? They were much too naive to do sothing like that. She raised her hand and folded her hands on her lap as she looked at the Grand Dowager Empress with a mysterious glint in her eyes. ” I do know a little dical skill why not I show it to you? After all, competition should be fair right, my lousy skills couldn’t be compared to concubine Ji similarly my dical skills can not be compared either.”
” dical skills?” Grand Empress dowager didn’t say anything she simply chuckled on the other hand it was Zhai Tianyu who looked at Liu Hui Ying with a sort of superiorly mocking look in his eyes as he chortled hard. ” My Queen, if you cannot play sothing there is no need for you to try so hard... Zhen understands that you are having a hard ti,” then he turned to look at Ji Yu and said, ” My dear Yu’er why don’t you play–”
” The grand dowager Empress might feel extrely stifled these days as if sothing is weighing on her shoulders, even after going through countless massages, acupressure and dical treatnt your condition might still be the sa as it has been before,” Liu Hui Ying did not let the Emperor finish his mockery, instead she shot off one thing after another as she looked at the grand dowager empress, her eyes resting on the dark hands that were covered with thick Yin energy. ” Around three in the morning your conditioned gets even worse and you feel extre chill crawling up your spine as if you are locked in an ice-cold cellar even though you do not have any cold, am I right?”
Her words caused not only the Grand Empress dowager’s eyes to pop out, even the Emperor turned to look at her with a wild look in his eyes. This...how did she know this? Because they didn’t want the Liu family to take advantage of the Grand Dowager Empress’s situation they have been keeping it under wraps, all the physicians they hired were carefully selected and dealt with, no one should know about the condition of the Grand Dowager Empress, so how did Liu Hui Ying know?
” How... How do you know this?” Finally, the Grand Dowager Empress couldn’t help but ask causing Liu Hui Ying’s lips to curl even more as she looked at the old woman and replied calmly, ” I did say that I am an expert in these things, didn’t I? If you give a chance then I will be able to help you, your majesty.”
Grand Dowager Empress leaned back on her chair, she didn’t trust anyone from the Liu family, there was a chance that the woman in front of her was simply trying to dwindle things and make her lose sight of what was important but ... she rolled her shoulders but paused when she felt sothing press on it. She stiffened and then turned around to look behind her but there was nothing, if she didn’t know better she would have thought that she was being haunted by sothing evil.
” Are you sure that you can help with my shoulder pain?” asked Grand Dowager Empress, if not for the physician and everyone else running into a hard wall she would have never taken of soone from the Liu family.
.....
” Grandmother...” Zhai Tianyu also knew that his grandmother was having a hard ti because of her stiff and heavy shoulders but falling for Liu Hui Ying’s sweet talks, was simply a desperate move.
” I know what I am doing your highness,” said Grand Empress Dowager as she turned to look at Liu Hui Ying, who nodded her head confidently and said, ” Of course I can, the ailnt has been for years that’s why it will take so ti for you to recover completely but I can at least give you a mont of peace for a day and night, would you like to try it? I an, it has been a very long ti at least six years ever since you had a decent sleep, your majesty?”
She glanced at the ghost woman who looked at her blankly, she watched as the woman dug her nails into the grand empress dowager’s shoulders causing the latter to wince.
” If only she pierces the skin...” she murmured under her breath causing everyone to turn and look at her.
Grand Empress dowager looked at her with confusion before nodding her head. ” Okay I will give you a chance to show your skills but let tell you if you make a mistake then you will be thrown into the cold palace after all the punishnt for lying to us is not as simple as getting grounded in your own courtyard, do you agree?”
