Detective Ghost Empress-Chapter 403: I can help you——2
Liu Dong Ming looked at the sword that was aiming at his neck, for a few minutes he looked at the sword and did not say anything but then his shoulders trembled and he chuckled softly.
"My," Liu Dong Ming sighed as he raised his hand and then without even breaking a sweat on his forehead, he pushed the sword that was aimed at his neck as if the thing that was aiming at his neck was not a sword but a wooden stick which a child used to play sword fighting with, his fingers scraped the sharp edge of the sword causing three sharp and thin wounds to appear on the fingertips of his fingers but he did not even flinch as blood oozed out of those thin scratches.
Ji Yu felt her arms twist even though she was using all her strength while Liu Dong Ming was only using his fingers to brush the sword away, she still could not hold the sword which was aimed at his neck in position as he pushed more force into his fingers and then turned her body in such a way that the sword fell on the ground under the heavy force that he applied on the sword.
With her wrist aching and her fingers turning red, Ji Yu looked at Liu Dong Ming in blame while her eyes turned glaring as she breathed heavily. She was set to die if the man tried to harm her, she would rather be killed than be defiled!
Seeing the thoughts that were running rampant in the head of the woman in front of him, Liu Dong Ming's lips curled even more as he looked at the woman in front of him and then said softly, " Do not fear, imperial concubine, your highness. The habit of defiling an innocent woman is in the blood of your family and not mine, I will never do something so heinous."
When his taunt reached her ears, Ji Yu felt her cheeks heat up as she looked at the man who was standing in front of her even more hatefully. He seemed to be blaming her but when that incident happened she was clearly a child, what could she do? If he had something to say then he should have gone to her father instead of cornering her like such.
" Is lord Liu here to blame me?" She asked with a smile which did not reach her eyes as she straightened up and looked at the man, now that she knew that she could not beat him physically, it was better to see what the man was planning and deal with the situation accordingly. " Or are you here to avenge the queen by coming to laugh at me for doing something foolish?"
She expected that the Liu family was already aware of the failed attempt at the poisoning of the Queen and felt her heart clench. She had stood in front of the Queen like an equal but now because of her family, she was a sinner who can never raise her head in front of the Queen.
" Of course not, I do not dare to embarrass the imperial concubine of his majesty, the emperor," replied Liu Dong Ming as he strode towards Ji Yu who despite wanting to take a step back stared at the man in front of her with a determined look in her eyes.
Liu Dong Ming came to a stop in front of Ji Yu keeping a respectful distance from the latter while Ji Yu stared at his face not even looking away from one second.
He raised his hand causing Ji Yu to flinch but then instead of hurting her, he brought a pouch which was oddly familiar to Ji Yu as she looked at the pouch and then at the man who was smiling at her.
" Do you recognise this pouch, your highness?" Liu Dong Ming asked with a soft smile as he waved the pouch that was given to Xiao Lin, the very same one that she tried to keep hidden in her hands such that Liu Dong Ming will not be able to take it away from her until the very end.
Ji Yu's eyes widened as she looked at the pouch and then at Liu Dong Ming before she exclaimed, " So it's you. You were the one who killed Little Lin!" As she spoke she went to grab the pouch from Liu Dong Ming's hands but failed miserably.
Her exclamation got a small chuckle from Liu Dong Ming who shook his head and then said, " Your Highness looks calm and wise but looks like I paid you much more compliments than you deserve, it seems that you still have a lot to learn."
" What do you mean?" Ji Yu's voice turned a lot colder as she looked at the man who was calling her a fool.
"It is just as I say," Liu Dong Ming crossed his arms behind his back as he looked down at Ji Yu haughtily. " If I was the one who killed your maid then you would have known it right away, the Liu family had always been very clean with their kill which makes it easier for others to trace it back to us unfortunately without the evidence."
" This is not something to be proud of," Ji Yu contradicted Liu Dong Ming who shook his head and laughed lightly, " I beg to differ, unlike your father who uses humans as a smooth surface to sharpen his dagger—— I am much kinder.
At least those who die under my hand know who killed them and so does their family, I give them the last mercy of knowing why they were killed, your father, however, is much crueller which is why your maid died without even knowing why she was killed and even you have no idea why she was killed, am I right? Because if you did then you wouldn't be questioning me, your highness."
There was nothing that Ji Yu could say in response to this, seeing that she was not saying anything Liu Dong Ming looked at the grave which looked pitiful and then crouched down to pick up a few flowers and then skilfully wove a wreath of flowers which was neither small nor large and placed it on the grave before opening his mouth as he said, " I, however, can help you, if you wish to listen to me."
