Detective Ghost Empress

" Urgh, why do we have to eat these vegetables as well?" Though Li Gang had quite a good laugh at Liu Hui Ying's expense for the first time in his life after death. He soon learned how to be humble, because that night when the meal which he was so looking forward to was finally delivered he only got to see rabbit food!

That's right, rabbit food there was not even an egg!

While nibbling on a large lettuce leaf, Li Gang sobbed as he remembered the good old days when he could eat anything that he wanted and did not have to rely on this small bowl of vegetables. He looked down at his bowl which only had tofu and some vegetables drizzled with sauce and turned to look at Liu Hui Ying before saying, " Can you not do anything? You are the Empress!"

" I might be the Empress but there are some things not under my control," Liu Hui Ying stated while munching on the small slice of tomato with a blank expression as if she had nothing to look forward to and she indeed had nothing to look forward to since she had to diet for the next one month and this was something that she was not looking forward to at all!

What the hell just because she got a bit fat and was no longer as attractive as she was before she had to suffer like this? It was simply too much!

" Be glad that we are still getting a bowl of vegetarian dishes," Jia Li suddenly spoke up. " I have heard that the ancient methods of losing weight were too strict. A woman had to tie her stomach to make it look small and some only relied on eating and drinking raw vegetables and water. Since sauces still carry a bit of sugar."

" She is right," Witch Mao chewed on the onion and agreed. " Back then when the late late late Empress got a bit fat after she gave birth to a child, she only relied on eating three grains of rice and water to fill herself up."

"It is crazy how well women are treated no matter what the time," Liu Hui Ying scoffed as she looked down at the bowl of vegetables which was sitting in front of her.

She was well aware of how in the name of fitness some netizens bullied a slightly fat girl by calling her all sorts of names in the end the poor girl starved herself until she lost weight but even so many blamed her for doing surgery to lose weight.

Why was it that a woman was suddenly claimed as ugly just because she was a bit fat ?!

The meal was supposed to be a bland one, it was so bad that even Grandma Lan Fen who was the kindest and the least fussiest one shed a few tears by the time she was done with her meal.

…

" Now what I am going to do?" Liu Hui Ying rolled on the bed as her hands inched to get something to snack on but because all her snacks were confiscated by Nanny Gong including the one that she hid, Liu Hui Ying had nothing more to live for.

With the snacks in her hands she could still spend her time but now that they were gone what was she supposed to do?

Even Li Gang and the rest were feeling a bit restless, they were not used to eating only a bowl of vegetables but there was nothing that they could do with the small kitchen shut close after Liu Hui Ying's diet started.

" Ah! Why don't we go and see the theatre which the fifth concubine usually watches?" Jia Li suddenly exclaimed as she turned to look at Liu Hui Ying who was sitting on the bed with a sulking expression on her face.

" Theatre?" Liu Hui Ying mused as she stopped her rolling and then turned to look at Jia Li who nodded her head and then said,

"That's right, the drama group that the fifth concubine hired is really a good one! Sometimes when I watch their drama, I even forget that I am running low on yin energy. They are that good, so why don't you invite that drama group? Or maybe you can just go ahead and trespass at the fifth concubine's courtyard? You are the Empress, I don't think that anyone is going to stop you!"

Liu Hui Ying narrowed her eyes, in all honesty, she did not have anything good to do which was why the suggestion indeed seemed a little better than lying around and rolling on bad while crying out of hunger. Continue reading on m|v-l'e m,p| y- r

" All right——" she hardly finished speaking when an arrow zoomed past her head and stuck next to her on the bedpost. Liu Hui Ying who dodged the arrow just by mere inches was speechless as she turned to look at the blunt arrow and the letter tied to it.

" Is this an enemy or friend?" Li Gang questioned as Liu Hui Ying went to untie the letter and read through the lines. Once she was done reading, Liu Hui Ying scoffed and rolled her eyes, " If you have friends like these do you still think you need enemies?"

It was a letter sent by Zhai Tianyu, he wanted her help which was why he sent this letter but because he was being kept an eye on by others, he could only send it in secret.

" You all," she turned to the four ghosts including Xiao Lin who was especially silent since she learned her lesson. " Go and help Commander Zhai, he will be waiting for you by the prison and will tell you what you need to do. Just do as he says and come back."

Zhai Tianyu did not write what he wanted her ghosts to do, he only said that he wanted the help of the three friends but she decided to send witch Mao and Xiao Lin along with the other three at least they will be able to learn what they needed to do while staying next to her.
