Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 531: Tarnished Peace

Liu Hui Ying plopped down on the soft bed with her arms spread out and her legs dangling from the edge of the bed.

She released a sigh of comfort as soon as she felt the soft mattress under her, Liu Hui Ying had been sleeping in the hard bed for the past three days and though she was not uncomfortable as she had lived in even harsher conditions when she was a special detective, who wouldn't like comfort?

She was a human too.

"This is what I call life," Liu Hui Ying hummed as she looked up at the roof of the four-poster bed that was covered with curtains on the side while the side was left open for her to climb inside.

Nanny Gong looked at Liu Hui Ying who was acting like a slob and then shook her head before saying, "Your majesty, even if you are alone you should take care of yourself. How can you not wipe your hair before lying on the bed? You will get a cold."

As she spoke, Nanny Gong walked over to the bed and reached her hand to help Liu Hui Ying up. She then picked up the towel which she had placed on the cabinet next to the bed and started patting Liu Hui Ying's long hair.

Her hands gently patted Liu Hui Ying's hair while Xiao Ai prepared the drying incense to take care of the moisture in Liu Hui Ying after the wiping.

"You are still very much like a child. In the past, you used to do the same thing," Nanny Gong spoke with a reminiscing look on her face as she sighed. "You would lay down on the bed with your hair dripping wet and then you will refuse to let me wipe it. One time you even got a fever because of your stubbornness but you have never changed your habits."

Liu Hui Ying chuckled. She was glad that the previous owner was similar to her or else she would have given away her identity.

Right?

Of course, she did!

Liu Hui Ying said to herself but inwardly she could not help but feel tormented by the decisions that she was making these days.

Nanny Gong and Xiao Ai helped Liu Hui Ying dry her hair and then let her lay down in the bed. Even though Liu Hui Ying told them that they should go back and sleep in their beds, the two of them did not go to the slaves' quarters to sleep instead they sat down on each side of the door and stayed up guarding her.

They did not tell Liu Hui Ying but only by staying at her side, they felt relaxed and at ease.

The two of them glanced at one another before giggling lightly.

"Her majesty is going to be angry with us when she finds out that we stayed outside her room," Xiao Ai said to Nanny Gong who also had a doting smile on her face as she covered herself with a blanket. She turned to look at the moon that was shining in the sky and then hummed, "That's why we need to make sure that we wake up before Her Majesty."

Xiao Ai chuckled softly upon hearing Nanny Gong's remark. It felt a bit exciting while playing around like this and she hoped that this peace could stay like this without anyone tarnishing it.

Poor Xioa Ai had no idea that no sooner did she finish making that wish, three shadows rushed past the corridor when she was not paying attention.
