Chapter 175
175 An Qian
Liu Hui Ying was sure that the soul whose presence she felt was none other than the soul of this woman, the presence was rather weak only for a moment but that presence appeared when the blue orb appeared on the edge of the cliff.
” There must be some sort of connection to that cliff and the blue orb,” she muttered as she thought over what happened tonight but no matter how many times she thought it over, she could not understand how was it possible for the woman’s soul to hover at the edge of the cliff when she died in this very courtyard.
While she was thinking her eyelids started to feel heavier and slowly she fell asleep. Liu Hui Ying felt like she has hardly slept when suddenly the entire courtyard was filled with Qui Ai’s scream, her scream shook the entire courtyard and Liu Hui Ying who was sleeping on her bed sat up straight in a flurry.
” What..what? Who died?” Liu Hui Ying asked her eyes dazed as she looked left and right, it took a few minutes for the haze in her eyes to diminish before she saw what was happening. When she turned her head to the side, she was surprised to find a woman dressed in all black sitting next to her bed, her expression sombre and solemn as if she was attending a funeral.
Upon seeing a woman dressed in all black with a face that seemed to be fit only for a funeral, Liu Hui Ying looked down at her body making sure that she was alive before she turned to look at the woman and asked, ” Whose funeral are you attending?”
The woman did not say anything instead she started to sign a number of hand movements to her causing Liu Hui Ying to frown as she looked at the woman who was kneeling on the floor and said, ” You are a guard sent by the emperor?”
” Your majesty,” Qui Ai who was lying on the floor crawled up from the spot where she was lying and then looked at Liu Hui Ying in surprise, when she entered the room she saw a woman in black staring at her queen unblinking. For a second she was startled but the next second she calmed down and then tried to ask the woman who she was but instead of replying to her, the woman started to make all sorts of weird sign language causing Qui Ai to think that she was doing black magic.
With that thought in her head, she tried to attack the woman but was instead sent flying, now that she was watching Liu Hui Ying understand what the woman was trying to say with those weird signs on her hands, she was really surprised. ” You can understand what this woman is saying?”
” Of course, I can,” Liu Hui Ying once worked as an undercover agent while taking down an organisation that sold women who were mute and deaf to rich men and women who would use them as they pleased, which was why she had to learn sign language.
.....
So, when the woman tried to tell her that she was the guard sent by the Emperor she was able to understand what the woman was trying to tell her.
” Your majesty, you are amazing! There is nothing that you don’t know!” Qui Ai did not find anything weird about Lin Hui Ying understanding a language that she has never learned before in her eyes Liu Hui Ying was a very strong entity who knew almost everything.
” That’s right, your master is the best!” Liu Hui Ying was rather pleased when she saw Qui Ai praise her, she smiled at Qui Ai and rubbed her nose feeling rather happy when she saw the admiration in the eyes of Qui Ai. Only then did she turn to look at the woman who was kneeling on the floor before asking, “Why did the Emperor send you here?”
Was that man trying to spy on her? She could not think of any other reason why that man would send a woman to guard her. Maybe he was afraid that she will leave without taking care of the case that she had in her hands and leave his aunt to wander the surface of the earth. Just thinking about how distrustful that man was of her, Liu Hui Ying was speechless.
Liu Hui Ying was, however, only half correct. Zhai Tianyu was indeed worried that she will leave him but the reason he sent the guard was not that he wished to spy on her but instead he wanted to keep account of what Liu Hui Ying was doing and stop her the second she tries to leave.
This was the reason why he sent a guard to keep an eye on Liu Hui Ying and not because he was distrustful of her.
The woman on the floor thought for a while before she replied to the question that Liu Hui Ying asked with the help of her hands and only then did Liu Hui Ying understand that the Emperor sent this woman to her in the light of what she was doing at the moment, given that the person who was behind the killing of his aunt was smart able to escape without being caught there was a chance that they might get a hang of what they were doing and try to harm her when she was in her disguise.
For the sake of her safety, the Emperor sent his own guard to Liu Hui Ying.
” I see,” Liu Hui Ying nodded before she crossed her arms even though she pretended to accept the explanation the woman has given her, Liu Hui Ying still thought that the Emperor sent this woman to spy on her. ” Then what is your name?”
The woman made another set of moves with her hands replying to Liu Hui Ying who hummed and said, “Your name is An Qian?”
With a nod, the woman replied to her.
