Gu Xi was shocked when she saw this snack. According to the prompts given by the system, this should be the dish of poisonous pastry.

Even though she has taken Xiedu Pills, she has become toxic and does not want to take it.

We must not let the Empress Dowager and the Marquis eat.

But what if this isn't the dish of poison pastry?

But Gu Xi knew that she couldn't bet on this if.

The Queen Mother was not in the mood to have a meal in the morning. When she learned that King Ning was in a good mood and had a better appetite, she felt hungry.

So, the Queen Mother picked up the pastry and prepared to eat a piece.

Gu Xi saw that the Empress Dowager was about to eat, and she no longer cared about this and that. She took a deep breath and said loudly to the Empress Dowager.

"Empress, the girl has a heartless request!"

The Queen Mother was startled by her sudden shout, and she didn't hold the pastry in her hand and fell to the ground.

"Xi'er, how could you suddenly shout? This is a failure of manners in front of the palace. You scared the Empress Dowager. Kneel down and apologize."

Mrs. Hou was also startled by Gu Xi. Seeing that the empress dowager was shocked, her face turned pale, and she pulled Gu Xi and knelt down.

"I'll ask the Empress to forgive me." Gu Xi knelt down obediently to apologize.

"The Ai family doesn't blame you, get up quickly." The empress dowager smiled and waved her hand. How could she take this little thing to heart?

"Thank you!" Gu Xi stood up, and Mrs. Hou also got up.

The Empress Dowager simply wiped her hands and was not in a hurry to eat. Instead, she looked at Gu Xi, "Tell me what request do you have?"

"The girl in the folk wants to ask the lady to give me these two plates of pastries, but the girl in the folk wants to take them back and worship them." Gu Xi said with a tough forehead.

This wave is really difficult, so embarrassing and so ashamed.

Gu Xi even felt that the Empress Dowager and others looked at her with strange eyes.

But the situation was urgent, and the way the poisonous pastry came out was a little different from what she had guessed before.

First, she didn't expect that it was sent by the emperor, and second, she didn't expect that the empress dowager would also want to eat.

So, she really couldn't think of a better way for a while.

"Why?" The Queen Mother couldn't understand what she was going to do, "These are just two plates of ordinary pastries."

It’s not a Buddhist scripture, what are you offering?

If you really offer it, it will break down after two days and it will not be eaten. If you put it for a longer period of time, it will become moldy.

"Ahem, the young lady told the Queen Mother just now that none of the young lady wants to marry, she just wants to leave Beijing and return to the countryside.

However, the father of the civilian daughter wanted the civilian daughter to marry Prince An.

If the girl returns like this, she will definitely be blamed by her father. She is also afraid that her father will think too much, and she feels that the girl's rejection will be rejected by the empress dowager.

Therefore, the young lady wanted to ask for a reward from the empress dowager and let the young lady prove to her father that the empress dowager did not blame the young lady, and that she could use this to protect the young lady from being blamed by her father."

Gu Xi became wise in a hurry, and his lies were becoming more and more like that.

Mrs. Hou's heart was raised high, afraid that the Empress Dowager would blame the Marquis for being ambitious, and also afraid that Gu Xi would not save face for the Marquis's mansion and would reveal other things.

She had no confidence that Gu Xi would definitely not say it because Gu Xi was no longer in the same relationship with their Marquis' Mansion, and even had resentment towards the Marquis and the old lady.

"This is simple, the Ai family will give you some other things." The Empress Dowager said with a smile.

"Although you can't be the granddaughter-in-law of the Ai family, the Ai family really likes you very much.

The Ai family supports you and asks your mother to go back and tell your father that she dares to make things difficult for you, but she won’t give Ai family face.”

"My wife dare not, Empress, my master dare not!" Mrs. Hou hurriedly knelt on the ground and said with a pale face.

"Thank you for your kindness!" Gu Xi smiled gratefully at the Empress Dowager and could only continue to talk nonsense with his teeth.

"But, Empress, I think this reward for the people is also very particular. The silk, satin, gold and jade are too ordinary. Even if the Empress rewards, it makes people unable to see the special emphasis on the people.

However, these two plates of rose pastry are different!

First of all, she is the food that the Empress Dowager likes, and the Empress Dowager rewards the private daughters, which also means that the Empress Dowager likes the private daughters.

Secondly, this plate of pastry was specially ordered by the emperor to make it for the empress. If you reward the girl, it means that you value the girl.

Therefore, I beg the Empress to give these two plates of pastries to the people and let the people take them back and worship them."

Gu Xi said, kneeling down and bowing again, with a serious look on his face.

"It's just two plates of pastries. If you ask for it like this, you will reward you." The empress dowager felt that Gu Xi's mouth was too sarcastic.

For two plates of pastries, what about it?

The Queen Mother couldn't help but wondered.

Judging from the conversation just now, Gu Xi is a smart and polite girl who can't do meaningless things. She must have a purpose in her desire.

Is there any problem with these two plates of pastries?

"Empress, this is not two plates of ordinary pastries. This is a pastry that is loved by the most noble emperor and empress dowager of Qin. It is particularly noble!"

Gu Ximu had a face and emphasized seriously that he would believe in acting until he acted.

The Queen Mother was amused by her, temporarily sucked her doubts and said with a smile,

"I saw you being very steady before, but you still have a weird side."

"... Let the Empress laugh at her." Gu Xi was ashamed.

At this time, the system page popped up again and hit Gu Xi for her to check it.

The task of sending a message to the Queen Mother has been completed and the reward has been issued. Let her explore it on her own.

Gu Xi thought of movable type printing, and her depression suddenly decreased most of her heart.

However, she had some questions. After she told the Queen Mother Ning Wang about the news, she also saw the system page specifically, and the task was not completed at that time.

Could it be that she has to wait until she has properly handled the pastry before she can complete the task?

If so, it means that this plate of pastry is poisonous, which should be considered a hidden task condition.

It seems that she will take the task background introduction given by the system seriously in the future, and maybe there is a pitfall in it.

However, what made Gu Xi even more concerned was where her reward would be placed by the system.

It shouldn't be in the palace, it would be very troublesome if it is, and it would be inconvenient for her to look for it in the palace.

Although the system is cheap, it won't cheat her like this.

When Gu Xi and Mrs. Hou left with pastries, the empress dowager was silent for a moment, and suddenly frowned and said to Madam Zhou,

"What about the pastry that the Ai family just now, go and try it out if it is poisonous?"

Madam Zhou was shocked and asked nothing, and hurriedly followed the Queen Mother's instructions.

There are some toxins that cannot be tried, and silver needles cannot be tried. Cining Palace raises some chicks just to try the poison.

Madam Zhou took back the untreated pastry and tried it with a silver needle first, but it didn't turn black. Then she fed it to a little chicken.

After waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, the little chicken was poisonous. Although she did not die of breath, she fainted and had no reaction at all.

Madam Zhou gasped and her face turned completely gloomy. She hurried back to the empress dowager and reported the result.

"Empress Dowager, this pastry is really poisonous!" Madam Zhou looked scared, "Fortunately, Miss Gu stopped you from eating it just now, otherwise... it would be a blessing!"
