Detective Ghost Empress-Chapter 395: Jumping fools ——2

Ji Yu suddenly stopped crying, she looked at Xiao Lin's cold body and then raised her head to look at the sympathetic smile of her father, she did not say anything but simply nodded her head before saying in a cold voice, " I understand father."

Seeing that Ji Yu was willing to listen to him, Ji Yang heaved a sigh of relief. He wanted to replace Ji Yu with one of their clan's daughters but he was afraid that if he was to bring one of the clan daughters into the imperial harem and made her the empress who knew whether she would be willing to listen to them or not. What if the minor families of the clan rebelled?

He needed Ji Yu to stay at the top for now at least and as for the matter of her getting pregnant or not, he will think of a way to solve that matter as well.

" That's right, I will come and see you soon for now I will bring Xiao Lin's body and bury her——"

"It's fine," Ji Yu suddenly stood up and looked at her father with a polite expression and added with a small smile that looked frail and aggrieved, " I know that father is busy, you do not have to bother with this matter at all for the time being, I will ask one of the eunuchs to dig a grave for Ah Lin, you can go and overlook other matters, father."

Seeing that Ji Yu was acting sensible Ji Yang did not take her matter to his heart, he also did not want to waste his time digging a grave for a maid which was why he agreed at once and then turned to glance at the corpse of the maid one last time before leaving one of his aide behind to help Ji Yu.

Forget it, it was just a maid, Ji Yu will get over it soon.

" Your Highness, what do you wish me to do?" The aide who stood in front of Ji Yu bowed and Ji Yu's gaze fell on his hand, his sleeves were covered with dried-up blood which caused Ji Yu's eyes to flicker slightly as she turned to look at Xiao Lin. The blood on Xiao Lin's clothes was still fresh like she was killed just now but in some spots, there were patches of dried-up blood.

Ji Yu might be an idiot in the eyes of others but she was not a fool, she could see what was going on even if her father tried to pull wool her eyes. Her pupils flickered before she turned around and hid the fluctuations in her heart and then said, " Go and dig a grave at the flower valley and then call me."

The guard agreed and as soon as he left the aggrieved smile on Ji Yu's face dropped, she looked at Xiao Lin's dismembered corpse and solemnly swore that she was going to find out what happened today no matter what and when she catch hold of who was the one who killed and dismembered her Xiao Lin, she will …Ji Yu clenched her fingers, even if she had to go through hell, she will kill that person!

….

" I am dead," Xiao Lin replied Zhai Tianyu who was looking at her with a sad smile, she wanted to say something more to his majesty but she could not even bring herself to start speaking and could only cry, seeing her like this Zhai Tianyu was confused and a bit flustered.

He knew that Ji Yu cared for Xiao Lin like she was her little sister, if Xiao Lin was dead then surely Ji Yu will not sit calmly, should he bring Xiao Lin with him to Ji Yu but even if he brought Xiao Lin to Ji Yu what good will it do? After all the latter could not even see Xiao Lin!

" What are you doing here?" Zhai Tianyu wanted to ask how Xiao Lin died but he thought that the question was a bit gloomy which was why he did not ask what was in his mind, instead, he asked what Xiao Lin was doing in front of his tent, strictly speaking given how much Xiao Lin liked Ji Yu, she should be haunting Ji Yu what was she doing in his tent and that too sitting here like she was wronged?

Xiao Lin stopped sobbing as she wiped her transparent tears and then replied in a low voice, " I came here to ask her majesty to contract me but she refused to say that she cannot take someone who is loyal to someone else as her servant. I could not reply and she kicked me out…."

She did not dare to say that she tried to kill the empress because she was afraid that his majesty will get angry at her, after all at this moment only his majesty was the one who could help her, the Empress no matter how arrogant she was, in the end, she will have to listen to his majesty right? After all, his majesty was the lord of this imperial city after the heavens.

Li Gang who was sitting on the broken log and listening to his stomach grumbling under the lack of yin energy lit a candle for Xiao Lin who was banking all her hope on Zhai Tianyu.

That man could not even snatch a pillow from Liu Hui Ying, the sky will fall if that man succeeded in taking a contract.

"Should we tell her?" Grandma Lan Fen was in the end an old woman, she could not bear to see Xiao Lin cry like that and what was more she was only creating more trouble for herself by doing something like this.

" What for?" Li Gang sat up from his lying position and then spat on the ground, he was in a foul mood since he did not get to eat the yin energy as he usually did. " Let her suffer a bit, she will understand what she is getting into at least if she gets to know Hui Ying's temper I am afraid that she will run with her feet on her head!"
