80 Give us justice
A deafening silence fell over the entire training centre, no one knew what to do and for a few minutes, they all stared at Liu Hui Ying in surprise and horror. The queen killed soone with her bare hands? Was this for real?
” Tha...That’s, I am dreaming right?” Yu Lingyun still could not believe that Liu Hui Ying has killed soone so easily, he stared at the maid as if he was waiting for the maid to get up and tell everyone that it was nothing but a joke. However, no matter how hard he stared at the maid, she remained limp on the ground as if she was never going to wake up, he turned to the soldier who was standing on the side and then held his arm up. ” Quick pinch ! I want to see whether or not I am dreaming.”
The soldier too was in awe, he didn’t even see who was talking to him, all he heard was that soone was asking him to pinch them. In his daze, he forgot to control his strength and then pinched Yu Lingyun so hard that the latter scread in pain. ” AHHHH, YOU IDIOT, I ASKED YOU TO PINCH NOT BREAK MY SKIN!”
As he scread he raised his hand and slapped the idiotic man who pinched him so hard that his skin turned red. Seriously, was this so kind of joke? His skin was delicate all right!
However, the pinch did its work. This ti not only Yu Lingyun and the soldier who was slapped snapped out of their daze, everyone else who was at loss too snapped out of the haze. They all looked at Liu Hui Ying and then looked down at the maid, whose eyes were open and she was staring at the sky with a fearful expression on her face, the terror she felt before dying was etched on her face perfectly.
” AHHHH,” the maid who has been in cahoots with the maid who just died scread in terror and pain. ” Xiao Min? Xiao Min? Open your eyes. Open your eyes and look at , you cannot die like this!”
The maid was shocked, just half an hour ago, she and Xiao Min were planning how to get away from this palace and then redeem themselves, finally letting of their status as slaves but now Xiao Min was dead and killed by the woman whom they were supposed to pin the bla on!
Concubine Ji gasped and shuddered as she looked at Liu Hui Ying in disbelief, she wanted to get angry because Liu Hui Ying killed the maid who worked for her but then she raised her head and took a glance at Liu Hui Ying’s face and she was surprised to find that there was no anger, no guilt, nothing on the face of the woman.
In fact, she looked rather bored, it was as if the death of the maid who just died was not as fascinating as she expected it to be and it terrified Ji Yu.
.....
” LIU HUI YING, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!” Zhai Tianyu was shocked at the Queen’s actions, maybe he might have accused her wrongly but that did not an that she showed show how she would have killed soone if she was intending to kill Ji Yu by actually snapping soone’s neck and killing them.
” What? Didn’t the esteed majesty say that I was trying to kill his beloved Concubine? I am just putting my side that if I wanted to kill her then I would have done it before you could even stop .” Liu Hui Ying glanced at Zhai Tianyu and for the first ti in his life, he didn’t have the slightest bit of idea as to what to do with soone like Liu Hui Ying.
” Your majesty! You have to serve Xiao Min justice,” Zhai Tianyu and Liu Hui Ying were still engrossed in their staring match when the maid sitting on the side of the corpse threw herself in front of Zhai Tianyu, her head knocking harshly against the platform as she shouted, ” Your majesty, this lowly one and Xiao Min has been serving concubine Ji with all our heart for so many months. This one swears that this one has never done anything wrong to concubine Ji during the entire ti and neither did Xiao Min, I accept and agree that her majesty can do anything to small maids like us but please at least for the sake of our loyalty to Concubine Ji, please show us so rcy and give her justice.”
The maid knew that the plan was off the rails now that Xiao Min was dead, she was no longer as confident to pin the bla on the empress or kill her but she could at least use the affection of the Emperor for concubine Ji and then have him punish the Queen, at least that way she wouldn’t be punished by her miss.
” Why are you asking him for justice?” Before Zhai Tianyu could say anything Liu Hui Ying walked closer to the maid with a sword in her hand like impending death, he didn’t even see when she took it off her side. ” I am the one who killed your friend or should I say partner in cri?”
When Liu Hui Ying said those explosive words her expression was calm and it was as if what she was holding in her hands was a rose but not a sword. “I was the one who killed her, so you should get on your feet and ask to serve her justice, right? After all, if I hadn’t killed her today then it would have been who would be kowtowing like this.”
The maid stiffened and her eyes widened in fear, did the queen know that she and Xiao Min were planning to fra her? Was this the reason she killed Xiao Min? As the maid thought it over she realised that it indeed made sense after all the Queen had no reason to kill a maid as small as Xiao Min in front of everyone and that too so blatantly.
She could have done that without letting anyone know but she didn’t, doesn’t this show that she actually knew everything?
