BXBX NOVEL Chapter 105
Zhai Heng didn’t say anything instead he looked at Zhai Tianyu who looked surprised but not shocked, it seemed that he had a very good idea of what was going on. Did he know that the Queen could do something like this?
Even though Zhai Heng wanted to ask a number of things but he didn’t say anything else after all this matter wasn’t something that could be expressed so openly. The three of them waited until everything was finished and only stepped out when they saw the corpses were gone. ‘
They slowly approached the queen who was standing in the middle of the street but Zhai Heng and Yu Lingyun stopped at a distance away from Liu Hui Ying leaving Zhai Tianyu alone to get closer to Liu Hui Ying.
As Zhai Tianyu saw how his own brother and best friend left him alone to deal with this situation, he couldn’t help but question their loyalty. These two they actually left him alone to face such a difficult situation?
But even though the queen was a danger at the moment, she was his wife and in short his responsibility.
” What?” He heard the queen say when she was looking at the thugs who were wiped clean and for one second he thought that she has caught him but then he heard her say, ” This all these men had? How useless.”
And then her knees buckled as she dropped, Zhai Tianyu went to catch her with his hands carefully tied with a handkerchief. He didn’t mean anything but if the Queen was to hit her head then who knows how she will explode? A few thugs annoyed her and she killed them, if she was to hit her head on the ground then she might as well destroy the entire empire for daring to inconvenience her.
Who knows?
.....
” Now,...Now what?” Yu Lingyun asked as he looked at Liu Hui Ying who was unconscious in Zhai Tianyu’s arms. ” Should we wipe her out?”
” What are you saying?” Zhai Tianyu didn’t know but the idea made his heart ache slightly, for some reason he didn’t like Yu Lingyun saying that they were going to wipe the Queen.
Zhai Heng was comfortable as well but when he thought about what he just saw he couldn’t help but agree with what Yu Lingyun was saying. ” He is right, if the Queen is this strong then there is a chance that they might use her against her, it will be better for the empire and us to deal with her as soon as we can,” he looked down at the unconscious Liu Hui Ying who passed out after drinking too much. ” And I think that right now the time is perfect.”
Perfect time to take the Queen out? Zhai Tianyu looked down at Liu Hui Ying who was unconscious and his fingers clenched around her waist as he thought about it and then swallowed before replying, ” No, we can’t do that.”
” Why? You just saw what she is capable of, didn’t you?” Yu Lingyun couldn’t help but ask as he looked at Zhai Tianyu, thinking that he was getting soft on the queen he couldn’t help but frown. ” You.. you are thinking of letting her go?”
” Don’t tell me that you have gotten soft on her?” Zhai Heng asked, his train of thought was exactly like Yu Lingyun’s as he looked at his brother, he didn’t know why for some reason he couldn’t help but think that his brother was getting a bit too friendly with the queen. “You know that she can be dangerous right? What if the queen goes against you and then harms someone we care about, she can’t be left alone. She is our enemy, your majesty.”
He deliberately used the term his majesty to remind Zhai Tianyu of his responsibilities and his position, in his position he couldn’t afford to go soft with anyone, not even the woman who was his wife.
” If she does kill someone then I will behead her with my own hands,” Zhai Tianyu picked Liu Hui Ying in his arms and then stood up from the ground. ” You do not need to worry, my heart is still the same it hasn’t deviated at all, I know what is important and I will never lose focus of what is important, as long as the queen turns her back on me, then it’s her head and my sword.”
....
Qui Ai lay on the bed of Liu Hui Ying with bated breath as she breathed in and out, she carefully strained to hear the sound of his mistress coming back but instead of the voice of her mistress, she heard the front door slide open. At one moment she thought that it was Nanny Gong who came to check up on the queen but then she heard the voice of the Emperor.
” Get up. I know that the queen has snuck out of the palace.”
When she heard the voice of the Emperor, Qui Ai was so scared that she jumped feet up in the air but then she didn’t even have the time to be scared as she rolled off the bed and then dropped to her knees as she bowed her head in submission before asking for forgiveness, ” Forgive me, your majesty, the Queen...the queen was feeling homesick and that is why–”
” Do you know the punishment for lying to the Emperor?” Zhai Tianyu interrupted the obnoxious maid who was talking nonsense, not only the Queen but even her maid was now courageous enough to lie in front of him now?
