Detective Ghost Empress

283 She was happy with just this much

Ji Meng felt even barer than he did when Zhai Heng and Yu Lingyun were stripping him, it was as if someone had bared his deepest darkest secret to the world in front of the world with him standing naked in the middle of the street. He drew in a breath and then tried to think of a rational way to get out of this situation but he soon realised that he couldn’t get out of this mess, which was he threw his head back and the innocence-filled expression on his face slipped off at an alarming rate as he started laughing.

He raised his hand and covered his eyes with his arm and laughed out loud, he nodded and said, ” You are right, I did it because I loved the thrill that killing them gave me,” he raised his head and looked at Liu Hui Ying, his eyes shining with an unrepentant glint as he smiled sweetly and said, ” I originally wanted to kill that Liu Fei Fei just like she killed Xiao Bai but she was too noisy and did not shut up even when I covered her mouth, I only wanted to keep her in the barrel for a few minutes before taking her out but…”

He paused and then smiled widely at Liu Hui Ying as he chuckled, ” But the despair she had in her eyes when I closed the lid of the barrel was too exciting for me to ignore, it was so thrilling you will never understand. That day I was scolded by my brother, he called me useless saying that I was not good for anything, and even called me names like a bastard with bad blood and whatnot…. But when I saw the despair in the eyes of that bitch, I felt so relieved. All my anger vanished in an instant!”

” You sick bastard! I felt sorry for you just now!” Yu Lingyun snapped at Ji Meng, he thought that Ji Meng was a pitiful man who was suffering because of his broken heart and now he turned around and showed off his true colours. Yu Lingyun felt like he was cheated!

Even Zhai Heng felt a bit uncomfortable, just now even though he thought that the Liu family member whether adopted or blood-related were all the same. They were simply bloodthirsty and cruel who would have thought that just a second later he will be slapped in his face?

Only Zhai Tianyu was calm as he looked at the sight in front of him but Liu Fei Fei who was next to him suddenly turned her head and suddenly remembered the night when she was caught and trapped by Ji Meng. She remembered the smile on his lips when he closed the lid and left her to die in the barrel behind, the despair that she felt while being trapped in the barrel and while slowly getting suffocated. It was as if she was being killed by a slow-acting poison and the thing that was even more disgusting was that this man ——

He came to take her out of the barrel but he only came to give her enough air to revive herself before he closed the lid again and left her to die again, he continued to do this until the day he killed her. Even her death was so cruel, she did not even have enough energy to fight him but he still dragged her like a rag doll and pushed her head into the pond.

In fact, she saw him take the hairpin out, he wanted to stab that hairpin in her eyes before killing her but during the fight when she was struggling against him after seeing what he was doing, the hairpin broke off and this man snapped her neck before throwing her in the pond.

Liu Fei Fei who regained all her memories felt the same rage that she felt when she was dying, she glared at the man wanting to kill him but before she could even make a move. Liu Hui Ying turned to look at her and shook her head telling her to stop and not make a move but how could Liu Fei Fei leave this man alone?

.....

She was young and she had many dreams, she wanted to be with his majesty, she wanted to become a mother and watch her child grow up and get married. Liu Fei Fei wanted a family since she never had one because of the political schemes of the Liu and Ji family, she knew that she was a chess piece in between the two families and would have to make a choice in the future but who would have thought that she would become a discarded chess piece?

All her dreams, all her desires…they were all dead with her and —— she will never once have the family that she dreamed of, how can she calm down?

” Don’t,” Just as she was going to ignore Liu Hui Ying’s advice and attack the man, she heard the Emperor speak from the side. He looked at her and then for the first time stared at her with a warm gaze that was filled with sympathy and understanding as he said softly, ” I will avenge your death, let me dirty my hands with the blood of the ones who were behind your death. This is the least I can do for you who died in vain, consort.”

Liu Fei Fei heard Zhai Tianyu speak to her so softly for the first time and her eyes turned red, all her life, she only wanted someone to look at her in the eyes with that gaze and tell her that everything will be okay, that they will be there for her, even though she did not get that security when she was alive. She was glad that she was hearing these words from the Emperor after her death, at least …even for a minute someone truly grieved for her death.

She was happy with just this much.
