156 What now ?

“It really is here,” Yu Lingyun gasped as he looked at the sword that was buried in the ground, he did not think that something like this could have happened but now that he was looking at the sword that was in front of him, he realised that he was indeed fooled by someone. ” That damned killer!”

Upon realising that they were fooled by a novice killer, Yu Lingyun wished to jump down the cliff and end his life. He was the prideful general of the imperial army, the general who have won multiple wars but was actually fooled by someone who did not even know how to kill someone.

Zhai Tianyu’s face was even more sombre, he looked at the bloodied sword and then turned to look at Liu Hui Ying who was standing on the side with a calm expression on her face. ” What should we do now?”

” Cover it with a cloth and bring it with you,” Liu Hui Ying told him, she had no idea how she was going to get the fingerprints of all three people who were involved in the case but it was still better for her to search for those whose fingerprints could be found, that way she would be able to deal with this matter as quickly as possible.

If the fingerprints turned out to be one of the maids or the nanny then she did not have to chase after the disciple and the husband of Zhai Chenguang. But in any case with the help of the fingerprints, she would be able to get hold of the situation rather well by narrowing the suspects’ list in either way.

“Cover it with cloth and bring it with you,” Zhai Tianyu turned to Yu Lingyun and ordered, he did not dare to go against Liu Hui Ying now that he knew that she was this skilled in solving a case that has been under the wraps for so long, with her help they were able to find the clues so quickly, there was no need for her them to ignore her anymore.

” I understand, your majesty.” Yu Lingyun bowed his head as he accepted Zhai Tianyu’s order and then bent double in front of the sword before taking out a handkerchief from his pocket. The handkerchief that men used was rather large and thus, it completely covered the sword with ease, he did not even leave the handle alone.

Only after covering the sword completely, did he pick it up from the ground and then stood up from the ground.

Now that the weapon that was used to kill Zhai Chenguang was in their hands, Liu Hui Ying was certain that she would be able to catch hold of the culprit who was behind this murder very soon!

.....

...

The four of them returned to the palace very quickly, Zhai Tianyu who wanted to get even closer to the culprit asked the carriage driver to drive the carriage at the fastest speed possible. No sooner did they arrive at the imperial palace, Zhai Tianyu asked everyone to follow him to his study, seeing that the emperor was not in a good mood no one in the imperial palace dared to even let out the smallest sound.

The maids who were walking knelt at once as for the guards, they lowered their heads not even daring to breathe loudly, among these people there was a person who did not know what was going on and that person was none other than concubine Ji.

Ji Yu heard from her maid Xiaolin that the emperor have left the imperial palace, at first she thought it was the Empress but then Xiaolin eased her worries by telling her that it was a man. However, Ji Yu still felt a bit worried when she remembered how the Emperor hasn’t come to see her even when she left the room of the grand dowager Empress in anger.

This has never happened before, Zhai Tianyu always cared about her the most and he has always come to her whenever she got angry with him, but yesterday he didn’t come and this change made her heart unsettled, throughout the entire night she rolled left and right but she did not felt at ease.

During this time she was reminded of what Grand Dowager Empress told her, that for the sake of making sure that the Emperor do not forget her and for that she needed to make sure that she visits him every now and then. If this was before, she would not have worried about this..after all, she was sure that Zhai Tianyu will not care about any other woman.

That man was so focused on his plan of getting his revenge that he has never cared about any woman but the thing was that ever since Liu Hui Ying came into their life, Ji Yu was feeling sort of weird feelings in her heart like she was going to lose something important.

This was why she couldn’t calm her heart down, she thought that today she will go and have breakfast with Zhai Tianyu but before she could leave her courtyard she found out that the emperor left the palace.

” Your highness, his majesty is now back!” Xiaolin knew that her missy was in a bad mood because of not being able to have breakfast with the Emperor, which was why she was keeping an eye on the imperial palace of the Emperor.

When she saw the carriage of the Emperor stopping in front of the gates of the Majestic palace that belonged to the Emperor, she rushed back at once.

” He is back?” Ji Yu was trying to read one of her books but no matter how much she tried to focus on it, she could not even think of a way to read a single word, after all, her head was completely lost in what happened yesterday. Her head was in a daze to the point where she could not even think of anything other than Zhai Tianyu and his sudden loss of affection towards her.

So, when she heard that he was back, Ji Yu immediately jumped off her seat with a glittering smile on her face.
