108 eldest master Liu

Liu Hui Ying winced, she hoped that she hasn’t done anything while drunk but looks like she did do something and from the looks of it, the Emperor knew of it. If he knew that she was in the brothel, then surely he knew about the rest of everything that went down the rabbit hole. She raised her hand and then nursed her forehead, she was willing to lie to herself and think that there was nothing that the Emperor saw but from Qui Ai’s words, the man ran away after laying her down on the bed, surely he saw something that terrified him and there was nothing that Liu Hui Ying could do about it.

Was she supposed to ask him what he saw? But she already had a good idea about it did she not? She must have done something similar to the time when she lost control years ago and as for why she did it... it was better to not know about it.

She wasn’t a curious person, to begin with, she was a lazy bag of bones with nothing in her head other than putting the least amount of effort to get the maximum result and more importantly she knew her sister well, if she lost control then surely it had to do something with men.

Liu Hui Ying pressed her lips together as she felt nausea strike her again, as she rubbed her hand down her face and then covered her mouth, she waited until the urge of hurling everything out was gone and then asked, ” Where is Nanny Gong?”

No wonder her head wasn’t hurting as much as it was supposed to Nanny Gong was missing and so was her usual chatter.

” Oh she is out to see her granddaughter,” Qui Ai replied as she placed the hangover soup in front of Liu Hui Ying when she saw that Liu Hui Ying wasn’t drinking it. ” Her granddaughter is sick and her eyesight is getting weaker, Nanny Gong worries that this will be the last time that she will be able to see her granddaughter and which is why she asked for a day off from the palace.”

” Her granddaughter is sick?” Liu Hui Ying frowned upon hearing Qui Ai’s words. ” Why didn’t Nanny Gong tell me that her granddaughter is sick?”

” This is the duty of the servants, your majesty,” replied Qui Ai calmly. ” We are not supposed to tell our masters about the things that trouble us, this is what we are taught when we become the servants of a noble and Nanny Gong has been serving you for a long time, surely her manners are more proper than anyone else .”

Liu Hui Ying pursed her lips, this was simply stupid. Nanny Gong was the one who raised this woman ever since she was a child but she was the one who was hiding the fact that her granddaughter was sick because of some stupid rule.

.....

” When she returns, reward her with some money from what the Emperor sent me,” Liu Hui Ying was petty but she wasn’t petty to her own people. ” Tell her to have her granddaughter be treated by someone skilled.”

The imperial physicians were quacks here anyway, she couldn’t think of what kind of physician Nanny Gong was bringing her granddaughter to.

” I will tell her that, your majesty,” Qui Ai bowed her head as she acknowledged what Liu Hui Ying said and then swiftly added, ” But please do finish drinking the hangover soup, there is no point in trying to pretend that you cannot see it.”

” Ah it smells so bad,” Liu Hui Ying was trying to escape from the hangover soup but seeing how Qui Ai was bent on making it drink it, she had no other choice but to close her eyes and take a sip of it but she only took one sip and then almost spat everything out, if not for Qui Ai who placed her hands on her mouth and said, ” You are not allowed to spit, your majesty...please drink it all.”

Under the fierce care of Qui Ai, Liu Hui Ying had no other choice but to drink everything.

” That was hellish,” Liu Hui Ying moaned as she slumped on the table and then gagged in disgust. ” What kind of gutter water did he use to make this thing?”

” The royal chef has always been very careful with the meals of the royal family, your majesty, I don’t think that he will make such a mistake or even dare to use something so dodgy.” Qui Ai hurriedly corrected Liu Hui Ying who rolled her eyes and said, ” I know, I was just trying to tell you that the hangover soup tasted like sewage water.”

Qui Ai didn’t say anything for a few minutes but then Liu Hui Ying heard her say, ” Well maybe this will teach your majesty not to go crazy while drinking.”

Liu Hui Ying raised her head and looked at Qui Ai before snickering, ” You are not at all scared of me are you?”

” I used to be,” she answered with a cheeky smile. ” But then her majesty, the queen became friendly like now and then I was no longer scared of you.”

” Is that so ?” Liu Hui Ying sat up straight and then leaned her head against her cheek as she said, ” Then who do you prefer? The Queen of now or the past?”

Qui Ai’s expression turned terrified at Liu Hui Ying’s question but then she heard Liu Hui Ying speak, ” Don’t be worried you can say what is on your mind, I will not get angry.”

Her words caused Qui Ai to ease a little before she licked her lips and then said, ” Then ...then the queen of now,” she tightly clasped her hands in front of her and then added, ” Back then the queen would always let everyone walk over her but now ... you are different your majesty. You fight back and teach good lessons to those concubines who think that they can dance on top of your head.”
