YM778.TV Chapter 75
” Where did you go? I was so scared! Your majesty–” Qui Ai paused when she saw that something was wrong with Liu Hui Ying, though she was smiling something was very wrong about that smile and why was the entire place getting so cold all of a sudden?
” Your majesty, is everything all right?” Nanny Gong caught a stitch in the side of her waist and was taken to the courtyard and now that Qui Ai was alone, she was a bit worried upon seeing her mistress like this. What was going on? What happened in just a small period of time?
She only left her missy alone for a few minutes!
Liu Hui Ying did not answer Qui Ai instead she placed her hand on Qui Ai’s shoulder and said, ” Little Ai, do you know where Concubine Ji is at the moment?”
” She must be at the training grounds of the special army,” replied Qui Ai instinctively, she knew that Ji Yu was friends with not only the emperor but even Zhai Feng and Yu Lingyun. The three of them together with the Emperor have practised martial arts but no one of them was any good.
Only Concubine Ji understood a bit of sword fighting and other than her no one knew how to take care of swords, not even the Emperor.
” I see,” Liu Hui Ying patted her on the shoulder and said, ” Then would you mind taking me there?”
Qui Ai stared at her missy with a stunned expression as she let out a ‘huh?’
.....
” Take me to the training grounds,” seeing that Qui Ai was shocked and did not seem to be understanding what she said, Liu Hui Ying repeated again and this time Qui Ai snapped out of her daze but she seemed completely out of her mind with worry as he said, ” But your majesty why do you have to do something like this? Why are you going to the training grounds, if you want to look for Concubine Ji then you can look for her later on–”
” Qui Ai,” Liu Hui Ying spoke suddenly putting a stop to Qui Ai’s babbling as she smiled at her coldly. ” Do what I have told you, I asked you to bring me to the training grounds then you have to do as I asked.”
Qui Ai realised that she might have overstepped her boundaries so she lowered her head and said, ” Forgive me, your majesty, I will take you to the training grounds.”
....
” Don’t move your body, don’t flail like that and what are you doing with that girly strokes of swords? Move them like you will when you are facing your enemy!” Zhai Heng observed the soldiers who were supposed to train in the special army grounds while he looked at Ji Yu who was swinging her sword on the fighting platform in the centre of the training grounds.
He looked at her perfect form and nodded his head, no wonder his brother chose Ji Yu as his life partner, she was the perfect woman for him.
Just as he was going to praise Ji Yu for her wonderful form, a guard came running towards him and whispered something in his ear. Zhai Feng’s expression changed at once as he swept a look at the soldiers and said, ” Stop your training.”
The soldiers who were practising suddenly stopped even Yu Lingyun who was practising his sword skills stopped and looked at Zhai Heng who was striding towards the entrance of the training grounds, it was only then did they saw the Empress who was standing outside.
Immediately, Yu Lingyun’s expression changed as well as he followed after Zhai Heng. Why was the Queen here? No more importantly what was her objective to come here, was she here to keep an eye on the training of the special army?
Zhai Heng came to a stop in front of Liu Hui Ying stopping her from going inside the training grounds, and so did Yu Lingyun as he came to stand beside Zhai Heng.
” Your majesty, what are you doing here? This is not a place for you to come.” Zhai Heng’s words might have been polite but Liu Hui Ying could see the contempt in his eyes. If he did this any other time, then she would have played along with him but at the moment she was too ‘engrossed’ in her own thing to pay any attention to Zhai Heng.
” Imperial commander, I will say this one time, get out of my way,” said Liu Hui Ying as she stopped a few steps away from Zhai Heng.
However Zhai Heng did not move, he stayed where he was and stared down at Liu Hui Ying with annoyance. ” Your majesty, this is not a place for you, please return to your courtyard. I do understand that you want to compete with Concubine Ji but this is not the time or place for you to do so. Please don’t make things difficult for us.”
” That’s right, your majesty,” Yu Lingyun chimed from the sidelines as he nodded. ” You should go back, in case you get hurt then we will have to answer his majesty.”
Liu Hui Ying stared at the two of them before scoffing as she raised her head and stared them in the eyes. “It seems like there is some sort of misunderstanding. Do you think that you two are above the Queen?”
Both Zhai Heng and Yu Lingyun stiffened, they didn’t expect Liu Hui Ying to use her status as the queen to suppress them.
” Your majesty,” Zhai Heng began but he was cut off by Liu Hui Ying.
” Imperial commander Zhai, it seems that you do not understand your position. When I order you to roll then it means you have to roll, how dare you go against me? I told you to move so MOVE! ”
