Empress

The empress, lan'er and prince Xuan were now in the dining room.

" wahh.bibi this food is delicious. Next time I will have my servant make this " said prince xuan eating the satay made by the empress.

" hmm, eat slowly I will make it for you next time because no one can make it but me" said the empress puffing her chest proudly.

" right, this lady is very tasty, from where the lady learned to cook this "ask lan'er who also ate the satay that the empress made, she said, the empress did tell lan'er to eat a table with her even though she initially refused but because she was persuaded many times by the empress finally she agreed.

" well, you know that I'm very smart "he said laughing.

" uhuk uhuk "prince xuan coughed coughs from choking on his own food.

" hey, I told you heart just eat it. The waiter quickly prepared a drink for prince xuan! " said the empress and then a young lady-servant delivered a drink.

" greetings empress. This was the drink "said the waiter and poured the drink into the cup and handed the drink to prince xuan but he silently laughed sarcastically without being noticed by the empress.

However, the prince had not had time to drink it until he was startled by something.

" Brak "the sound of the door breaking down and who broke it down was the emperor.

" Don't Drink It!!! " the emperor cried out in shock that the empress had put down the cup she was holding while Xuan was confused as to why the emperor would not allow her to drink it.

" Hail the emperor's majesty" they said in unison.

" What are you doing, Ha? Do you intend to kill prince xuan? " shouted the emperor.

" ha? What is your noble max? " ask the empress while gnashing a confused forehead.

" Don't pretend to be stupid! Do you want to take revenge this way? " the emperor shouted again while the empress was further confused.

" what maxut you I do not. "he said cut because of the presence of someone who is the concubine of the divine zhu.

" sister better not pretend anymore, I know you want to get noble attention in this way but it's wrong kak what else brother involves prince xuan " said concubine Zhu.

" what's your max? This is how you talk to me you even come here without saying hello" said the empress staring intently at the divine concubine zhu.

" i'm sorry for my sassness, brother, but sister can't stay still when she finds out that prince xuan is in danger of what else prince xuan has I considered my own son. Hu hu hu pleads for noble justice "he said as he let out tears.

" you're really going too far! You've even dared to poison people how the future will be if not for you being the son of general Lin maybe I'll throw you out of the old days now I'll exile you to the cold palace you're not may go out without my permission " said the emperor.

" wait for this must be a misunderstanding, noble lady can not do such a deed please do not punish the noble empress servant is ready to replace the empress even if the servant should be put to death " lan'er defended the empress and knelt at the emperor's feet.

 Consort kedewian zhu was about to raise his hand to slap lan'er but another hand gripped his hand.

" get rid of your filthy hands!!! " said the empress coldly and tightly gripped the hand of the divine concubine zhu until she grimaced in pain.

" aww, it hurts to let go of my hand! " he said, then released his hand from the queen's grip.

" hu hu, uh, see the empress hurt the noble servant when I only wanted to give punishment to the servant but see the empress she gripped my hand firmly it doesn't matter to me but I don't accept it if anyone want to hurt my poor prince xuan. Hu hu "said the divine concubine zhu put on a face as sad as possible then approached the dumb-ass prince xuan from earlier and stroked his hair shackle.

" you're accusing me at will do you have any evidence that I poisoned prince xuan's drink? " sanyanya.

" forgiveness, my lord servant saw with his own eyes that the queen put something into prince xuan's drink" said concubine maid Zhu.

" huh, I don't want to prolong this. Meditate on your actions in the cold palace later! " the emperor sighed softly and was about to leave but was prevented by the empress.

" Wait! If I am not proven guilty and consort of divine zhu is proven to slander the servant then what punishment will be obtained concubine of divine zhu? " cried the emperor's empress turned her head and said.

" i'll absolve you of the charges in the meantime I'll just hand it to you "

" Good" said the empress and drank the drink.

 1 Minute passed nothing happened

 2 Minutes passed and nothing happened

And 5 minutes had passed but still nothing happened to the empress.

 Whahuh? Why is he okay after drinking it? The poison should have reacted earlier.

" hmm, it is proven that nothing happened to me mistress divine zhu" said the empress staring cynically at concubine zhu.

" bruk. No way, I believe that the drink contained noble poison, the servant could not be mistaken to see "said the divine concubine Zhu was kneeling on the floor with a face of disbelief.

" but that's the fact that nothing happened to me after drinking it. That means you have slandered me, preferably what punishment is pat for her noble one " said the empress glancing at the emperor.

" i won't deny my own wordsit's all up to you to determine it "

The queen smiled with satisfaction at the answer.

" hmm, you have slandered me then I will punish you by lowering your rank from divine concubine to general concubine and being exiled in the cold palace for 3 months and copying the book of Kramas and etiquette of a royal concubine 20 Pieces per day. And, for your servant this is a death sentence only he "said the empress.

" no, this is impossible, your majesty, please, your noble servant" said concubine Zhu began to plead with the emperor, but the emperor turned and left.

" dragging bodyguard him! " he said to the bodyguard beside him and dragged concubine maid zhu.

" forgive the empress forgive the servant, I just carry out the command "the servant said thrashing but not listened to by the empress.

" no this must be a dream, this cannot happen" said concubine Zhu in tears of disbelief.

" heh, this is the result of you provoking me then this is what you have to bear. Guards escort her to the cold palace and reduce her rations and for prince xuan take her back to the palace "

" good queen "

 Hah, the empress let out a long breath.

" woman, how come you don't why isn't the drink poisonous? " ask lan'er who had risen from her position and walked towards the empress was.

" well, that drink was indeed the same poison that was used to kill me nothing happened to me because I threw it up my sleeve earlier. Oh yeah, the waitress who gave me the drink was dragged in front of me! "

Ps: the clothes of the ancients did have long and wide sleeves, I don't know what the author's function is.

" well miss "

At the moment the female servant was already in the presence of the empress she shivered in fear as she felt a cold gaze directed towards her.

" what's your name? "

" na the name of the noble servant mei li "

" forgiving the noble servant of the servant was only told by the concubine of kede, concubine of zhu" said the maid named mei li.

" then why did you comply with his request? I'm a more powerful empress here, not that lowly concubine. Lan'er get me the whip! "

" well miss "
