Detective Ghost Empress

The old legend of the woman who died on the hunting ground spoke of a song which the woman sang before she died, it was a song which spoke of valleys and lands but instead of sounding cheerful, it was gloomy.

It was a song which cursed the Emperor and the man who let her down causing her to not be able to see those beautiful things that she wished to see, she cursed the man because he betrayed her as for why she cursed the Emperor, everyone thought that she did it because the Emperor admired the man who abandoned her.

" What nonsense!" Old Master Qin could not help but snap after he was done listening to the foolish talk of concubine Han.  " There is no such things as ghost and spirits, more importantly, my daughter is missing!  How can we talk about such a thing?"

As he spoke, he glared at Zhai Tianyu with some dissatisfaction on his face but did not dare to say anything more as he turned on his heels and then walked away, though he left without saying anything. Everyone else could hear his mutterings which proved just how upset he was with the delay in the search for his daughter.

Even Qin Mu Yan did not seem happy with concubine Han's ruckus, he thought that something happened to Concubine Qin, his sister which was why Concubine Han screamed but who would have thought that she screamed because she ended up imagining things when she was asleep.

He was not the only one who thought that Concubine Han was dreaming instead everyone in the crowd thought the same, the woman was sleeping in her tent when she saw the shadow, what can she see when she was asleep? Most probably she saw a branch or something and scared herself which led her to imagine that there was indeed someone.

Concubine Han was someone who schemed in the imperial court every day trying to suppress the concubines who were lower in rank when compared to her, so how can she not see what was going on in the heads of those who were looking at her, her expression changed and she immediately opened her mouth and then insisted, " I... I am speaking the truth! There was indeed a woman!

She was singing the song and walking away in white robes which were covered with blood and her face was full of scars!" Read the full story on m-vl-em-py-r

But no one believed a word that came out of her mouth instead they still persistently believed that she was only dreaming when she saw the ghost.

Even Zhai Tianyu could not help but kindly say, " Tonight was full of twists and turns, Concubine Han, I am afraid that you saw something that was not there——"

" KYAAAAAA!" Someone else screamed causing everyone to look in the direction of the person, seeing that it was a maid, Ji Yang who was impatiently listening to the bullshit of concubine Han finally found a leeway to release his pent-up frustration as he glared at the woman and snapped, " What are you screaming for? Can you not see that your masters are standing right here?"

But the maid did not seem to be in her senses instead of going down on her knees and apologising, she lifted her hand and then pointed at the dark forest while facing the east and then trembling and said, " Loo…look, there is really someone! It's a… it's a woman!"

Everyone turned to look in the direction in which the woman was pointing and sure enough they saw, a woman clad in pure white with rotten blood spots on the fabric, her long hair was flying in the air while her face was covered in scars as she smiled at the crowd.

" I..Impossible," Ji Yang muttered as he took a step back and looked at the woman's ghost who was smiling at them, he wildly looked at his aunt who glared at him subtly asking him to lose his composure only then did Ji Yang recover his wits as he turned to look at the woman who was standing in front of them and then ——-

" Oh the blue skies, tainted clouds raining blood.

Beauty that covered the vast lands, never to be washed off,

Stains that will stay even after death,

Oh you cruel man, ruining the vast beauty which lies under the pretty blue skies."

The woman started to sing, her voice was beautiful and pleasant sounding but with her scarred face and blood-covered clothes, she was a terrifying sight.

Liu Hui Ying on the other hand narrowed her eyes as she asked, " Is that a ghost?"

" Nope," Li Gang answered as he looked at the woman who was singing. " She is a human, cannot sense even the smallest bit of yin energy, whoever is playing ghost is very much alive."

Of course, Liu Hui Ying also knew that already, she had seen the ghost who was singing and did not sense any death aura from her which meant that the person who was standing in front of them was a human who was pretending to be a ghost trying to play with the minds of those who were standing in the hunting ground.

A confused glint flashed in her eyes but since she knew that the person was not a ghost but a human, Liu Hui Ying was not at all bothered. Instead of taking a step away from the ghost, she rushed towards it!

Her actions caused Second Master Liu's eyes to widen who was standing next to Liu Dong Ming, seeing that his daughter was rushing towards the ghost, he completely forgot about his fear and then rushed towards Liu Hui Ying as he screamed, "Your majesty, stay away from that thing! Let this official examine it! I will do it! I take down ghosts for lunch!"

Even though he was screaming that his legs were feebly trembling.

Behind him, Liu Dong Ming scratched his fingers as he turned to look at the ghost while The Dowager Empress snickered and added,  " There is no need to be jealous if you are willing to confess… I can back you up, cousin."

" Please, with all due respect your majesty, shut up."
