337 Old man with a moustache —-The journey to the graveyard which was at least an hour away from the imperial palace was a tough one. Liu Hui Ying never thought that the journey that she finished in a few minutes in the carriage will make her bite, curse and yell in the middle of the night by the time she arrived in front of the graveyard she was ready to throw hands with anyone, especially the one who came up with the rotten idea of building this graveyard so far away from the palace.

” Just what was he thinking ?” Liu Hui Ying asked for the hundredth time she kicked the mud in front of her while standing in front of the graveyard of the imperial family. Her chest heaving up and down as she breathed heavily with her hands clenched on her side as she glared at the metal door that was half open and half closed at the moment with a guard who was asleep on the stool with his eyes shut.

He did not even open his eyes when Liu Hui Ying screamed for Liu Hui Ying knew that he was too tired. This guard was a young one and most probably he just started his training in the army because of this he was treated as an errand boy by the rest of the seniors who were older and more experienced than him, most probably someone else had this night shift but dumped it on this poor boy who did the duty in the morning as well since she saw him in the afternoon when she arrived in the graveyard.

” What a nuisance,” she clicked her tongue as she felt sorry for the young man. He could have fought back but because of his less-than-manly stature, he was silently suffering under the tyranny of his bully seniors. This was something that she was used to backing then when she arrived at the entrance of the Department of crime investigation in her time, she was taken as an easy target as well since she was an orphan and no one was there to back her up.

She relied on scholarships to pass her exams and finish college which was why her poor clothes and cheap shoes made her a source of gossip and mockery behind her back. But of course, those snide remarks and everything else were cleaned by her when she broke the nose of one of her seniors who was thinking that she was too easy to bully and locked her inside the men’s washroom knowing that she was allergic to men.

That day Liu Hui Ying almost died because of the suffocation and rashes on her skin before getting rescued by a doctor who was passing by and heard her banging on the door. Of course, she repaid the bullying by making sure that the woman paid her back twice but that was not what she was trying to say at the point——-as she looked at the young man’s thin arms that were covered with bloody bandages, Liu Hui Ying for the very first time felt sorry and annoyed.

Annoyed because she thought that the man could always take those annoying seniors of him down, sorry because no one deserved to be bullied. Which was why she clicked her tongue and then took out a talisman that she had in her sleeves and stuck it to the back of the man.

Even though it will not save him from getting hit, it will make those seniors of him think twice before bullying this young man.

” That was nice” Jia Li commented as she looked at the karma talisman which would inflict twice the pain on the culprit who will touch the man from now on.

.....

” Shut up,” Liu Hui Ying snapped not wanting to hear a thing that Jia Li has to say about the deed that she just did and turned to look at her before she asked, ” Where is that witch?”

” Oh she is by the grave of the late grand—grand—grand Dowager Empress, she did not tell me how she died before she started cursing that old woman who died chanting spells to make sure that the old woman in the grave would suffer in the underworld.” Jia Li answered as she pointed at the grave that was grander and bigger than the others as Liu Hui Ying narrowed her eyes at the extravagant tomb that was sitting at the very end.

She walked towards the grave ignoring the gazes of the ghosts who raised their heads as they stopped doing whatever they were doing and turned to look at her with curiosity. This was something that she was used to which was why she did not even bat an eye as she came to a stop in front of the extravagant tomb that was made of pure white marble with gold carved it. At the pillars a woman with a beautiful face as carved as she looked at them magnanimously with a gentle smile and on the other pillar she was sitting on the throne looking at the commoners while they cheered for her.

Liu Hui Ying looked at the face of the beautiful woman and then dropped her gaze such that she could read the name of the woman who was buried in this tomb ——

” Ji Yu Man,” Liu Hui Ying raised a brow as she looked at the tomb and then turned to look at Li Gang and asked, ” This is gold right?”

Li Gang flew over to the pillar and with his teeth nibbled over the gold face of the beautiful woman before smacking her forehead with his forefinger as he nodded, ” This is solid gold, one that I have never seen before.”

Liu Hui Ying nodded at the response that Li Gang gave her and then looked at the rest of the grand Dowager Empress’s tombs and pursed her lips before muttering, ” Why is her tomb decorated with gold but others are bare? Is it because they belonged to the Liu family? That can’t be right. They are the most corrupt after all. Then is it because she was the most beautiful one?”

As soon as she spoke, there was a snicker behind her as someone scoffed in a jeering voice, ” Beautiful hah! She looked like an old man with a moustache.”
