Chapter 151 I Want to Join Forces with You

The favored Lady Wen died.

There was no sign of death.

The death was unexpected.

Everyone in the harem felt insecure, not knowing what was happening.

It is impossible that Miss Wen committed adultery.

A favored concubine would only choose to commit misconduct with a guard unless she had a problem with her brain.

There are undercurrents in the harem, but the days in Zhaochun Palace are peaceful and tranquil.

Bai Wutong sat on the couch, looking at the two children, his heart soft.

This is her child and her only concern.

After hugging Zhang Yunhe, she went on to hug Zhang Yunxi.

Looking at their little faces that were quite similar to his own, Bai Wutong couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

Chan'er approached carefully, fearing to wake up the two little princes, "Madam, there is news from Wuyou Palace that Wen Chuyun has closed the palace door, saying that he is ill and cannot see anyone."

Bai Wutong was not surprised. If Wen Chuyun was not a fool, he would know that he should lie in wait and not give anyone a chance to attack.

"Well, you continue to watch outside. If the emperor comes, inform him in advance."

Now the Queen Mother is imprisoned and cannot leave for the rest of her life.

She was promoted to a concubine, and the child would most likely be raised by her.

But there is still a hidden danger, that is the Queen.

After all, she already has two children, and she is the master of the harem. If she really tries her best to have one, I'm afraid even the emperor will have no reason to refuse.

In order to prevent accidents from happening, it is best to think of a way in advance to make the queen give up this idea.

Bai Wutong gently stroked Zhang Yunxi's plump little face, "Son, no one can take you away... No one!"

…

Wen Mansion.

The mansion, which used to be bustling with activity, was now silent and still.

Wen Zhemao did not go to court, but sat in his study.

There was a calligraphy on the desk in front of him: [From now on, we will meet again, and we will reach the blue sky. 】

He had been looking at the words all night.

This was given to Wen Ruyun by a good friend when she was most favored.

Before he could feel proud, everything turned into an illusion and shattered without a trace.

Wen Zhemao sighed, rolled up the calligraphy and put it away.

"Zhemao, you haven't slept all night, so you should take a rest." Wen's mother's gentle voice came.

"Rest? Ha, Chu Yun is disfigured, the child is gone, Ru Yun committed adultery with a guard and was executed on the spot. If it weren't for my age and the contributions I made to the emperor, I'm afraid the entire Wen family would be ruined now! Look at the two good daughters you gave birth to. I spent all my energy to raise them, but they turned out to be more useless than the other!"

Mother Wen didn't dare to say anything. She just stood aside and listened to his scolding.

Wen Zhemao raised his hand to support his forehead, "Forget it, there's no point in saying this now. You should quickly find a way to ask if there is a magic medicine that can restore Chu Yun's appearance. No matter what, we must restore Chu Yun to his original state. Otherwise, all our arrangements over the past ten years will be in vain!"

"Zhemao, I've asked someone to ask."

"This Bai Wutong has now given birth to two princes, who are said to look exactly like the emperor when he was a child. It is no longer useful to use Jin Zhi's rumors." Wen Zhemao tapped the table lightly with his fingers. "She has a grudge against Chu Yun. We can't let her climb up. Otherwise, even if Chu Yun restores his appearance, he may not be able to defeat her."

He raised his head and looked at Mother Wen, his eyes were extremely sinister, "Is there any movement in the Xun Mansion?"

"Ever since Concubine Zhao gave birth to a son, the whole country celebrated and the door of Xun's house has been almost broken down. There is an endless stream of people coming to give gifts every day. All those who came to our house before have now gone to Xun's house."

Wen Zhemao showed sarcasm on his face, "Humph, they are all people who curry favor with the powerful. It's no pity to not associate with such people!"

At this moment, the servant's voice came from outside, "Master, Madam, someone came to visit, saying that he is from the Zhou family."

Zhou family?

Isn't that the Queen's family?

Wen Zhemao's eyes flickered. "Let him come in and wait in the front hall. I'll be there soon. Madam, go make some tea. I'll see why the Zhou family is here."

In the front hall.

A middle-aged man with a moustache sat on a chair, his rat-like eyes glancing back and forth, falling on the maids.

Wen Zhemao strode in, "Brother Zhou, long time no see."

Zhou Changqing stood up and bowed, "Brother Wen, long time no see."

"Hurry up and take a seat. Someone, bring the tea." Wen Zhemao changed his solemn look and smiled. "Brother Zhou, I'm here to visit you suddenly. What's the matter?"

"Indeed, there is something." Zhou Changqing picked up the teacup and took a sip, but did not get straight to the point. "Is this Shouzhou Huangya? The tea soup is yellow-green and clear, rich and sweet, it's really good."

"Brother Zhou, you have good taste. It is indeed yellow bud tea, and it is this year's new tea. It is tender and bright, shaped like a sparrow's tip, which is rare to see."

The two chatted for a while about the taste of tea, and Zhou Changqing finally talked about business, "Brother Wen, the emperor now has a successor, and Concubine Zhao gave birth to two princes. I heard that the Xun family is now prosperous. If one of these two princes is really the crown prince, I'm afraid it won't be long before another big family appears in the capital."

Wen Zhemao laughed, "Yeah, but what can we do about it? Xun Mingzhi gave birth to a good daughter, who is much more promising than the two in our family."

Zhou Changqing's yellow bean-sized eyes fell on his face, "Brother Wen, are you really willing to let the Xun family grow stronger? The capital is so small, if someone rises, someone is bound to fall."

"Why, Brother Zhou, do you mean that my Wen family is going to fail?"

"Of course not, Brother Wen, I won't beat around the bush. I want to join forces with you to deal with the Xun family. You and I both know exactly what kind of person Xun Mingzhi is. As long as he makes a mistake, it will inevitably implicate Concubine Zhao, and then we can curb the growth of the Xun family. What do you think?"

Wen Zhemao was tempted, but did not agree immediately. "I wonder if this is the Zhou family's intention or the Queen's?"

Zhou Changqing smiled obscenely, "All, all, Brother Wen, I won't make it difficult for you. How about you give me an answer in three days? To show the Zhou family's sincerity, I have a prescription from the Western Regions. It is very effective in repairing scars. You can let your Chu Yun try it. Maybe it can heal as before."
