The Return of the Bad Empress
Chapter 124

Noble Guo could only fall silent, both of his hands clenched beside the hanfu he was wearing, even at this moment his eyes looked flushed with teeth clenching in anger. How could her beloved daughter be made a kitchen maid, just out of the desire of an empress Huang Yue Li?

Even Emperor Yu Qing San seemed to not dwell in the face of his wife's wishes, the noble Guo regretted his arrival at the golden phoenix imperial palace, if he had known in advance of the events of today, the noble Guo lamented his arrival in the golden phoenix imperial palace, had he known in advance of what happened today, maybe he will remain in his residence and live very comfortably with the whole family.

But the rice had become porridge, even though he was trying to save young miss Guo Mei Qi, the desire of the empress Huang Yue Li would not be denied by anyone, his words were the same as Emperor Yu Qing San's.

Now she realized that what the people of the golden phoenix empire said was a truth, that the words of the empress Huang Yue Li were an unwritten law in the golden phoenix imperial palace. She was the only woman in power within the palace, even her decision could not be denied even by an emperor.

"What are you arrogant about, Empress Huang Yue Li? Even when compared to me who is only a young miss, you do not have any advantages. I am more beautiful and more capable than you." shouted young miss Guo Mei Qi, it seems that the girl has still not given up on getting emperor Yu Qing San.

Empress Huang Yue Li only smiled wryly at the words of the arrogant young miss, yet she did not reply in the slightest, only glancing at the current Emperor Yu Qing San as if holding back a laugh, she said, the current ruler of the golden phoenix empire covered his mouth with a palm, he actually felt very funny hearing the remark that came out from the mouth of young Miss Guo Mei Qi.

From what angle did the girl feel that she was much more beautiful than the empress Huang Yue Li? Even though the current golden phoenix imperial consort was still covering her face with a thin veil, yet the aura of nobility as well as the aura of glory was exuding so beautifully from her figure.

Young Miss Guo Mei Qi got up from the chair she was sitting on, then walked towards emperor Yu Qing San, she wanted to show the imperial ruler that she was much prettier, she was much more beautiful, compared to Empress Huang Yue Li whose face was always covered with a thin veil.

"Isn't that true, Your Majesty? This young miss is much prettier and more attractive than Empress Huang Yue Li?" ask young Miss Guo Mei Qi. She even currently puffed out her chest, showing that she was much more formidable and prettier than Empress Huang Yue Li.

Yet an answer that came out from Emperor Yu Qing San's mouth, actually made everyone instantly widen their eyes.

"If you really do have the ability above Empress Huang Yue Li, then zhen ordered you to drink the poison that was in that bowl" Emperor Yu Qing San said.

Before long one of the soldiers brought a bowl filled with poison, seeing that of course young Miss Guo Mei Qi immediately retreated a few steps, how could she possibly drink the poison? Even though she wanted to become an imperial concubine.

Looking at the actions taken by young miss Guo Mei Qi, Emperor Yu Qing San only warped his thin smile, any woman would never want to drink poison, she said, although with the lure will be made an imperial concubine.

Because in fact the life of every human being is only one, if until he is too late to get treatment and also the antidote from the poison, it is certain that he will soon die.

Another case with the empress Huang Yue Li who immediately removed the veil she wore, took the bowl filled with poison and then drank it casually, even at this time the look on her face did not change, he was unlike someone who had drunk poison, thus making everyone who was inside the hall instantly glare at his eyes.

They were of course very afraid, if that imperial consort would die. Immediately, the officials rushed out of the hall and immediately looked for the palace healer, empress Huang Yue Li had to get a quick treatment, before the poison spread throughout her body.

"Your majesty." said the dignitaries and also the imperial officials.

"What's wrong?" emperor Yu Qing San frowned, it seemed that until now the man still did not realize, what made all the dignitaries as well as the imperial officials so worried. While the empress Huang Yue Li only chuckled small.

"We have brought the healers to examine the noble empress Huang Yue Li." they replied.

Empress Huang Yue Li smiled sweetly, then replied very casually. "I'm fine and don't need a healer."

While on the other hand it appeared that young Miss Guo Mei Qi was clenching her hands, she had just lost the chance to be able to replace the empress Huang Yue Li as the emperor lady, if only he had known that the contents of the bowl carried by the soldier were not poison, he might have been gulping down.

"Damn..! He tricked me!" guo Mei Qi muttered while clenching both of her hands. His eyes were glaring towards the emperor Yu Qing San and also the empress Huang Yue Li.

He showed his anger in front of everyone, even when it was apparent that his hands were starting to cross his waist.

"You are not fair, your majesty.. You told me to back off slowly by saying that the contents in the bowl were poison, while Empress Huang Yue Li drank it very casually and up to this point even she was absolutely fine." said young lady Guo Mei Qi.

Emperor Yu Qing San took a quick glance, then smiled disdainfully. "Zhen didn't fool you! The contents in the bowl are indeed poison, if you do not believe it, then just have the healers check the authenticity of the poison in the bowl."

With a quick step, Guo Mei Qi immediately took the bowl then handed it to the healers to check, his heart was pounding incoherently, he said, right now he hoped that the healer would say that there was no poison in the bowl he was carrying.

The healers checked very carefully, their eyebrows looked wrinkled, when they realized that there was still residual poison attached to the bowl. With great care, one of the healers immediately revealed his testimony.

"The bowl does contain snake venom which is very venomous, as a healer, I can confirm that it is a medium-grade poison" he said.

Guo Mei Qi was instantly startled, how could the poison not affect the body of empress Huang Yue Li? Something must be wrong, the soldier must have replaced the bowl he had brought with another bowl, so the healers managed to detect the poison.

While the bowl that had been drunk by Empress Huang Yue Li must have been hidden somewhere.

"I don't believe it!" guo Mei Qi.
