The Return of the Bad Empress
Chapter 20's

Degs...

Niu's heart seemed to be racing against time, he did not expect that Empress Huang Yue Li would ask her to taste first, the food that had been delivered from the imperial palace's kitchen, he said, moreover, the current emperor Yu Qing San was sitting before him.

Niu shook her head, the servant girl tried to rack her brains so as not to taste the poisonous food she was carrying, she still cherished her life very much, so it was impossible for him to become a guinea pig from the deadly poison he had mixed himself into the food that was deliberately sent towards the phoenix Pavilion.

"I forgive your noble servant. But it is very inappropriate, if a waiter tries to taste the food served from the palace kitchen." Niu replied reasoned.

Huang Yue Li smiled faintly at the words sent out by the maid, then she immediately replied back, "During this time the palace kitchen never delivered food, I'm not too sure if all the food delivered is healthy. Who will guarantee if there is no poison in it? If you do not feel guilty, then take the bowl and immediately taste all the food you bring yourself from the palace kitchen." said Empress Huang Yue Li.

Emperor Yu Qing San tried to remove suspicion from her empress' heart, but a single blink of an eye from the empress, managed to silence her mouth, she was speechless, just staring at her empress' face with great anxiety.

The empress again attacked Niu with very piercing words. "During this time the queen mother disliked me very much, even many times she sent poison to this pavilion, thus making me become very weak and also have a very bad face."

"I'm not sure if the food she sent me didn't contain anything that would worsen my health, so in order to correct the bad image of the queen mother before me, as a servant of her faith, she said, it's only fitting that you take that little bowl and taste it immediately." said Empress Huang Yue Li back.

The few servants standing behind Niu immediately took the bowl, then pour some food from the dish into it and take the chopsticks for then he will try to feed the food to his mouth.

But empress Huang Yue Li immediately prevented the actions taken by the maid, she couldn't possibly let the kitchen maid die, it was only because of his foolishness that not knowing if in fact the food delivered to the phoenix pavilion had been laced with poison by Niu on orders from Suri's mother.

Niu widened her eyes, she did not expect that if Huang Yue Li's consort turned out to be secretly aware of her actions, the servant girl also tried to re-use her sneaky brain in order to get out of the Phoenix Pavilion immediately.

But it turned out that Wei Wei was already standing guard at the door while shining an insulting look at Niu who was currently looking deathly pale, with sweat pouring profusely all over her body.

"What happened to you, waitress Niu? Why does your face look pale? Does this mean that your master has indeed sent you here to deliver a deadly poison in order to immediately send this empress to Lord Yama?" huang Yue Li.

Niu was speechless, but the corner of the servant girl's eyes saw a clear drop, she immediately took the chopsticks and also the bowl in the hand of the other servant, then ate the dish with a very fearful feeling.

Suddenly Niu felt a very hot sensation in his chest, then his breathing felt very tight accompanied by his head throbbing dizzy and eyes twitching, and, so that made the servant girl finally collapse on the marble floor in the phoenix pavilion.

Niu's body was seen convulsing for a while, before long he immediately exhaled his last breath, and he immediately breathed his last, the white foam melted from the corner of his lips which indicated that the servant had died of poisoning due to the food he brought on the orders of Suri Yun Jian's mother to kill Empress Huang Yue Li.

Emperor Yu Qing San instantly rose from the seat he had occupied since, he did not expect that his own birth mother even intended to eliminate his wife, he did not expect, though all this time he always gave the highest power in the empire to the Mother.

But it turned out that it did not make the old woman satisfied, she continued to undermine her life and tried to eliminate the woman who had now captured her son's heart. that of course made Emperor Yu Qing San become angry, so he immediately called out to the soldiers to lift the body of Niu who was currently turning blue, because the poison had spread throughout his body.

Then he immediately ordered that all the palace dignitaries immediately gather in the meeting hall including with the Empress Dowager Yun Jian.

Before long the higher-ups of the imperial palace were present, they seemed to be wondering about what was really going on, so Emperor Yu Qing San gathered them all in the meeting hall.

So was Suri Yun Jian's mother, but the woman wore a faint smile, she was very happy with what her son was currently doing, she said, because only then would he be free from the accusation that the poison delivered to the phoenix pavilion was his act.

So very quickly the old woman immediately called some of her servants to help her prepare and immediately moved towards the meeting hall of the imperial palace.

Emperor Yu Qing San had just moved very quickly towards the meeting hall of the imperial palace, he had to immediately give justice to his empress.

If in the past Emperor Yu Qing San had only heard about the cruelty of his surrogate from the stories of the people, yet he could currently see with his own eyes and head, he said, how the deadly poison was delivered to the phoenix pavilion belonging to the empress Huang Yue Li, just because the old woman felt rivaled by her daughter-in-law, thus making him flounder and finally doing various ways to be able to eliminate Huang Yue Li from the imperial palace.

"Her Majesty Emperor Yu Qing San entered the hall." shouted one of the soldiers guarding the entrance.

Everyone rushed up from their seated positions, they immediately bowed to pay their respects to the number one person in the golden phoenix empire.

"Greetings to the emperor. May you live a long life and always be given health" they all said with great sincerity.

Before long Emperor Yu Qing San immediately shook his hanfu arm and walked towards the throne. Everyone immediately got up and headed straight back to their seats.

"Zhen purposely gathered all of you together, because right now there is someone who has been trying to eliminate empress zhen by sending a deadly poison into his pavilion." emperor Yu Qing San said without making any small talk to everyone in shock and immediately glared at his eyes.
