Chapter 15 I'll call someone for you tomorrow

Lanxin Pavilion.

Bai Wutong handed over the basket, which was empty except for a few jasmine petals.

Lian Xin took it and said, "My Lady, didn't you go to pick jasmine flowers?"

"I didn't pick any." Bai Wutong entered the side hall, "When you came, did you bring a piece of flowered Zhang velvet with you?"

"That's right, Madam. Those are specially made for you, but few people in this palace use them..."

"Go get it. I'm going to Tianxiang Garden."

Lianxin agreed and hurriedly brought the cloth.

Bai Wutong washed his hands, brushed off the scent of jasmine flowers on his body, and then stood up, "Chan'er, come with me."

"My lady, let this servant go with you."

Bai Wutong ignored her and ordered Chan'er to take the cloth and go to Tianxiang Garden together.

The two arrived at the door.

Wen Chuyun had already heard the news and came to greet her, "Sister Wutong is here."

Her eyes subconsciously fell on Bai Wutong's waist, but she didn't see the pink purse. Her expression immediately froze, "Sister's purse today is really good."

Bai Wutong pretended not to understand, picked it up and took a look, "I just embroidered this when I had nothing to do, to match clothes. This pink dress is perfect with a white purse. My sister's should be matched with other colors."

Wen Chuyun said no more and welcomed her in.

"Sister Wen, this is the flowered velvet I brought with me when I entered the palace. I didn't receive any reward from the emperor, so this is the only thing I can offer. The jacquard satin is too expensive, and I feel really uneasy about keeping it, so I came to visit you today."

Wen Chuyun took her to the pavilion next to him and said, "Sister, it's too polite for you to say that. Why should we be so picky about this?"

She glanced at the Hua Zhangrong, feeling contempt in her heart but not showing it on her face. She asked the palace maid to take it away. She would never wear such fabric, as it would lower her status.

It's just this moment of turning your head.

Bai Wutong had taken the purse from her waist.

This purse is worn on her body every day, and it might get lost someday. She was sure that Wen Chuyun would not take it to heart.

"Sister Wen, it would be great if we could live together. Miss Gao is really..." Bai Wutong covered her lips and acted sad.

Wen Chuyun had already known about what happened that day. "Sister Wutong, don't be sad. The fact that Concubine Rong didn't punish you means you did nothing wrong. Just stay away from Concubine Gao in the future."

The two chatted for a while, talking about this and that.

Bai Wutong then stood up and said goodbye.

Halfway through the journey, she took out her purse and said, "Chan'er, go find me some needle and thread."

Chan'er looked at the purse with her eyes wide open.

That... isn't that from Miss Wen?

When did it fall into the hands of the Empress?

"Why don't you go now?"

"yes!"

Back in Lanxin Pavilion, Bai Wutong took a short rest, and Chan'er came back with needle and thread.

She took it and started to change the style on it.

Orchid is Wen Chuyun's favorite style, and the purse is almost all pink. As long as the top part is slightly changed, it will be no different from the one Wen Chuyun gave her before.

To be on the safe side, Bai Wutong lit a candle and burned it to make it look like it was accidentally damaged. This way, the modified stitches could not be seen.

"Chan'er, I'm going to the Imperial Concubine's Palace tomorrow. Please prepare another aqua blue dress for me in advance and make it slightly looser so that I can walk in it."

Chan'er didn't understand, but she did it anyway.

Lian Xin, who was at the door, saw her coming out and immediately stepped forward, lowering her voice, "Chan Er, what did the Queen ask you to do?"

"My queen asked me to get that aqua blue dress."

"Hmph, I'll get it, you go away. If you dare to hang around in front of the Empress again, don't blame me for being rude!" Lian Xin glared at her fiercely and quickly went to the next room.

Chan'er stood there at a loss, and finally went to find Xiao Ningzi, and the two of them trimmed the flowers and plants in the yard together.

Late September.

The weather is still hot.

At sunset, the palace maids brought news that all the new beauties entering the palace tomorrow must go to the Yaoguang Palace to discuss the Queen Mother's birthday.

The Queen is unwell, and Concubine Rong is temporarily in charge of the harem affairs.

The last banquet was hosted by the Queen, but she was so tired that she vomited blood the next day. I guess this time Concubine Rong will be in charge.

After sending away the palace maids from Yaoguang Palace, Bai Wutong continued to take care of his body.

The aqua blue dress had been altered and when she put it on, it took away her graceful figure and made her look even thinner and frailer.

The emperor only needs to see her beauty.

All the concubines could see was her thinness and weakness.

Only when everyone looks down on her can she seize the opportunity.

It's getting dark.

Bai Wutong turned off the lights, lay on the bed, and curled up into a ball.

Even in human form, she still prefers this sleeping position.

“Dengdengdeng—”

There were barely perceptible footsteps.

Bai Wutong suddenly opened his eyes.

Who would be in such a hurry at this late hour?

She got up carefully, walked to the window, and looked out through the gap.

Her body as a cat slave allows her to see at night.

I saw a black shadow quickly enter the main hall next to it.

After half an incense stick.

The dark shadow came out carrying something.

That is... Gao Jingwan!

Bai Wutong's pupils constricted as he stared at the black shadow.

It’s a pity that she was dressed all in black, with a headscarf and a face scarf, revealing only a pair of slightly old eyes.

But judging from her plump figure, she must be a woman.

The black shadow carried Gao Jingwan all the way to the backyard.

Bai Wutong pushed open the window, jumped down barefoot, and followed lightly behind.

There is a pond in the backyard with a few lotus flowers growing in it. It is not very beautiful because no one takes good care of it.

The black shadow pushed Gao Jingwan into the water and held her head down.

After a full stick of incense had passed, he stopped, looked around, and left quickly.

a long time.

Bai Wutong walked to the edge of the pond.

Half of Gao Jingwan's body was leaning on the rock, and the other half was sinking in the water. She was no longer alive.

She couldn't stop herself from stepping back, a sense of fear rising in her heart.

The person who was still alive today has now turned into a corpse!

After a long time, Bai Wutong finally calmed down.

She stretched out her hand and pushed the body to the center of the river. Watching her slowly sink, she felt a little sad. It was not because of Gao Jingwan, but for the life that was lost. "When you float up tomorrow, I will help you call for help."

Bai Wutong turned around and went back to the room.

She thought quietly, perhaps today's events could be used to frame the imperial concubine.

That’s right!

That Meng Dong!

——

early morning.

A scream broke the silence.

“Someone’s dead!”

"Ms. Gao is dead!"
