Zhe Furong: After widowhood and rebirth, she was pampered by treacherous ministers

Chapter 233 Tonic or Poison
Although Li Yuchu has been the emperor's chef for five years, he has never seen such a battle, let alone the person opposite is the empress.

He looked at the backs of the companions who went out one by one, and panicked in his heart.

Li Yuchu hurriedly put down the tools in his hands, and took out the cooking things from the pot beside him.He was afraid that if the dishes were mixed up later, it would be difficult to explain.

After finishing everything in a very short period of time, Li Yuchu looked at the empress empress submissively again, and said, "Empress empress... I don't know empress, why do you want to find a villain?"

The queen walked a little closer to Li Yuchu, and kept looking up and down Li Yuchu.Li Yuchu only felt that the queen's eyes were very sharp, and she was about to see through her own soul.But even though he was uncomfortable, Li Yuchu didn't dare to do anything in front of the queen.

"You are very smart. I have taken a fancy to your intelligence, and I would like to ask you for a favor." The empress's tone was so sinister that Li Yuchu's hairs stood on end in an instant.

He didn't know why he was suddenly being watched by the queen, and when he heard the queen's tone, he thought he had offended the emperor or the queen somewhere, so he was very at a loss, so he quickly knelt down.

"The Queen's Majesty is making a fool of a villain by saying this. Since the villain enters the palace, he is a member of the royal family. Whatever the Empress Dowager wants, just ask her. This is the honor of the villain..."

Seeing Li Yuchu's cowardice is better than the previous Yu's.

Back then, the Yu family, who was the empress of the dynasty, personally tried to persuade her for a long time.But Mrs. Yu is still like a cow, loves to get into the horns of a cow, and is stubborn. In the end, she can only go to the trouble of tying up his wife, so that Mrs. Yu is obedient.

But the Yu family was too insecure, after agreeing to them, he actually betrayed them later.Thinking of this, the queen was a little itchy with anger.

In comparison, this Li Yuchu is much more "obedient and sensible" than Na Yu's, and he only needs to click a few words to know what is going on next.

The queen chuckled, and called Qin'er who was standing by the door behind her.

Qin'er brought a chair to the queen, and the queen sat on it gracefully, looking down at Li Yuchu.

"Li Yuchu, you are a smart person. I don't have time anymore, so I'll get straight to the point with you, and raise your head." The queen looked at Li Yuchu with her head down, afraid that he might not be able to hear what she said next.

The hands that were on the ground in front of his forehead were picked up, his hands trembling a little, Li Yuchu raised his head tremblingly and looked at the queen, his eyes were a little erratic.

"Even though the Empress orders, as long as the villain can do it, she will do her best."

Hearing this, the queen actually laughed.

The laughter was not at all as peaceful, benevolent, and elegant as the empress or empress I saw in ordinary times, but rather sharp and difficult to hear, which made Yuchu Li feel scared.

"You said that. I didn't force you at all." After the queen finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Qin'er, who nodded repeatedly.

"Remember every word of the Queen." Qin'er stood up and looked at Li Yuchu with disdain.

"I know, I know, please give me your instructions," Li Yuchu said in a low voice.

"Bengong, I need your help to put these things into the dishes without anyone noticing." Saying this, the queen took out a small bag of powder from her sleeve.

"You only need half a teaspoon each time, that's all." The queen looked at the bag of powder, and then looked at Chef Li with a sinister smile.

Li Yuchu was still kneeling just now, but was instantly frightened and sat on the ground. "Wh... what... Empress Empress, this is?" Li Yuchu didn't think badly at first, but the empress' expression made him think more.

"Don't worry, this is just a tonic specially tailored for His Majesty by the imperial physician. It's just that the emperor doesn't like the taste, so he always avoids taking medicine." up.

"Do you remember?" Seeing that Li Yuchu was always in a daze, the queen reminded aloud.

"But... but, empress, this, this is very embarrassing for the villain..." Although Li Yuchu didn't know what the empress was holding, he was very afraid that it would be harmful to the emperor. How can he afford it?Even the lives of dozens or hundreds of people in the family will be implicated.

"Difficult?"

The queen's eyebrows were serious, and Li Yuchu hurriedly lowered his head in fright, and began to kowtow, begging the queen to let him go, he didn't think he could do such a thing.

"Empress, the villain has been sincere and diligent all his life, and he has worked hard in the palace without fighting or grabbing. If the empress can tell me some things that are within the humble duties, the villain will definitely go all out. But... But such a thing, my lord People are really afraid of not doing well, and disappointing the empress." Li Yuchu kept talking about reasons, and took these reasons as the last straw.

"Can't you do it?!" The queen changed face instantly, "You can't do such a thing well?! I just want you to help me add some tonics to the dishes. Are you refusing Bengong's order?"

Qin'er has been with the queen for many years, so of course she knows what she should do at this time.

She stepped forward and slapped Li Yuchu who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, and then imitated the empress's tone.

"Don't be ungrateful. The Empress thinks you are smart, so she takes a fancy to you. She feels that this matter must be done by you. No one can do it better except you in the entire imperial dining room. If you are not willing, then even the emperor's exclusive Don't even want the position of the royal chef!"

Now Li Yuchu really imagined that as the queen's personal maid said, the queen would drive him out of the palace immediately, so maybe there would be a way to survive.

But Li Yuchu also knew clearly that he couldn't escape this time, the queen had already taken a fancy to him, and no matter what, she would try her best to make herself agree to do this.

Thinking of this, Li Yuchu felt a little desperate. He was a cook from elementary school, and he entered the palace only to earn more money. Why did he have to do this kind of thing.

He didn't want to delay any longer, gritted his teeth, and agreed to the queen in one breath.

The queen was very satisfied with his promise, nodded with a smile, and looked at him with a look of relief.

"Sure enough, I didn't misunderstand the person, Li Yuchu, I will leave this matter to you."

After the queen finished speaking, she handed a small bag of white powder to Qin'er, and Qin'er handed it over to Yuchu Li.

Seeing that Li Yuchu didn't really want to accept it, Qin'er took a few steps forward and stuffed it into Li Yuchu's arms.

"Remember, if this is a 'supplement', for nourishing the body, don't accidentally tell His Majesty the wrong thing."

As the queen spoke, she looked at Li Yuchu with a piercing smile.
