Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 526: I know my worth

Concubine Chu was, of course, not willing to leave, but she would rather not make things ugly in front of Liu Hui Ying either. She pursed her lips in a pout before bowing her head and taking her leave, but as she turned around, she cursed Zhai Tianyu in her heart.

'That damned man. He was the one who gave poisonous wine to my precious queen, and now he dares to come in between me and her majesty, he is really the worst man alive on this surface,' Concubine Chu cursed in her heart as she walked out of the phoenix palace. Behind her, Nanny Meng followed with a shock etched on her face.

"Your Highness, why did you not talk to his majesty ?" She asked Concubine Chu. Wasn't this the perfect opportunity for her to get close to His Majesty, the Emperor, and then kick Liu Hui Ying aside? Why was she the one who was leaving? Shouldn't Concubine Chu be sticking close to his majesty while trying to get his attention?

Nanny Meng was going crazy, but Concubine Chu, on the other hand, was rather calm. She looked at the front and then said calmly, "What do you mean by that Nanny? Why should I stay when his majesty himself asked me to leave?"

"But he is your husband! I mean, you are the concubine of his majesty, surely you can stay and speak with him. Right?" Nanny Meng was on the verge of ripping her hair off her head as she could not understand what was going on with Concubine Chu.

She was taking a track that Nanny Meng could not understand.

"Hmph, what kind of husband is he? He even poisoned his wife and almost killed her," Concubine Chu snorted, causing eclipses to form on top of Nanny Meng's head.

So what if he did? Doesn't the death of Liu Hui Ying mean that the competition was getting reduced? Why did she have to worry about Liu Hui Ying's death?

"Your Highness——"

But Nanny Gong stayed with Liu Hui Ying until the verdict in fact, Chu Yanqing was sure that Nanny Gong would have headed up the guillotine for Liu Hui Ying.

She had seen the determination according to the old woman when she stepped inside the court last night. Something that Nanny Meng lacked.

Similarly, Liu Dong Ming had stayed calm in the face of danger and found someone to help him out in the time of need. Even when he was locked up, he saved his family —— with her father's wits, Chu Yanqing was sure that there was nothing that he would be able to do if he were to face such a situation.

So, on what basis and confidence did they want her to become the Empress?

And even if Liu Hui Ying was going to be replaced, it would not be her turn to become the Empress.

Nanny Meng pursed her lips, she did not have any response to this question, as she really did not have the guts to face execution as Nanny Gong did. In fact, she was sure that if something like that had happened to Chu Yanqing, she would have run away at the fastest possible speed.

Seeing that Nanny Meng had gone silent, Chu Yanqing shook her head before turning to walk away. However, as soon as she strode down the path, she ended up crossing paths with Ji Yu who had arrived to congratulate Liu Hui Ying.

And her mood soured.
