Bai Wutong was originally a cat demon. Her family of three was unfortunately caught by humans. To vent her anger, a concubine killed her parents, skinned them, and made them into a hand warmer.
...Chapter 160 Is it too risky?
The queen's mind raced, but she quickly calmed down.
No matter whether Bai Wutong has evidence in his hands or not, he just needs to protest his innocence.
Anyway, so much time has passed. Even if the emperor suspected her, he would not treat her badly because of a dead beauty.
"Empress Zhao, I am a little tired. You should go back first."
"It seems that the Empress doesn't want me to see Yunhe. You should know how important Yunhe is to the Emperor. If anything happens to him, the Emperor will not let it go, and neither will I!"
The queen couldn't stand it any longer. Although she had always been a quiet and reserved person who didn't want to show up, no one dared to be so presumptuous in front of her!
Jin Weige was fine in the past. She had the support of her mother's family, the favor of the emperor, and the position of imperial concubine. She was highly favored when she was in the palace.
The two of them married the emperor at the same time. In the eyes of the queen, Jin Weige was on equal footing with her, but Bai Wutong was just a woman who came later. If she hadn't been lucky enough to get pregnant and give birth to two princes, she would probably still be just a little beauty now.
She slammed the table, "Zhao Fei, you've gone too far! I'm the queen, how dare you be so disrespectful!"
Bai Wutong stood up without fear and said, "I have said everything I wanted to say, Queen, Yunhe is only here temporarily, I will let him come back sooner or later!"
After saying that, she got up and left.
Listening to the footsteps gradually moving away, her expression became extremely gloomy.
The nanny came in with an indignant look on her face, "She is just a concubine, yet she dares to be so disrespectful to the queen. Damn it! The queen is the queen, and it is a great honor for her to help raise the child. Otherwise, I will tell the emperor and let him know what kind of person she is!"
"Hmph, what's the point of telling the emperor? Haven't you figured it out yet? The emperor likes her very much because of these two children. As for me, I'm just the queen in name only, and the emperor has never taken me seriously. In the past, the emperor would come here on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, but now he won't even step into Fengyi Palace on these two days."
Before, the Empress Dowager was watching, and the Emperor followed the rules and had to come on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month even if he had nothing to do.
Now that the Empress Dowager is gone and the Emperor is in complete power, why would he care about this? Now there are countless people in the harem who are making fun of her because of this incident, saying that she, the queen, is just a mascot.
The nanny gritted her teeth and said, "My queen, could it be possible that Concubine Zhao is so arrogant?"
The queen lazily leaned on the couch, and suddenly she calmed down. "She is still too young and too impatient. Yunhe has just been sent here, and she can't wait to threaten me. She probably thinks that I am nothing, but she doesn't know how powerful I am!"
She has been making secret arrangements for many years and has also used the power of her family to win over many people.
The Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, which had always been behind the Queen Mother, now turned around to support her.
She's just a concubine Zhao. What can I use to fight her?
"The emperor sent Xun Mingzhi out to perform meritorious deeds, but this cannot succeed. Send two people to kill Xun Mingzhi on the road, so that he will be a guilty man until his death! If it fails, then find Wang Sheng and ask him to call on the people of Tongzhi to pretend to revolt and make this matter as big as possible."
The more serious the consequences of the flood, the greater the crime committed by Xun Mingzhi, and the more Bai Wutong will be implicated.
"If you want a child, wait for the next life!"
…
On the way back to Zhaochun Palace, Yingchun seemed to want to say something but stopped herself several times.
Bai Wutong saw that she had something to say, "Just say it if you want to. Don't be so reserved in front of me."
"My Lady, you...you are being so disrespectful to the Queen, isn't that too risky?"
"No, because no matter what happens next, she will know that it was me who did it. In that case, why don't I let her know my attitude? Now I am the one who is being mad at you, and you are not allowing me to vent my anger?"
Yingchun said no more, she could see how angry the queen was.
Chan'er next to her was silent for the first time. She was also thinking of a solution.
After returning to Zhaochun Palace, Bai Wutong felt that his body had almost recovered and he was not going to waste any more time.
"Chan'er, help me boil some water. I want to take a bath. Wait until it gets darker. Go find the emperor and tell him that I missed Yunhe and have been crying all day."
The hot soup was ready quickly.
Bai Wutong took a flower petal bath and applied ointment on her wrists and ears.
When it was getting dark, Zhang Chengyan came over.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Bai Wutong, whose face was red from crying, and felt distressed, "You are still recovering, this is not good for your eyes."
Bai Wutong took the opportunity to hug him, "Your Majesty, I miss Yunhe so much. When I first became pregnant, I looked forward to him day and night for nine months. Finally, he came, but he cannot stay with me."
Zhang Chengyan patted her back gently, "Okay, don't cry. Didn't I say that I would bring Yunhe back? Xun Mingzhi has already set out this afternoon and will be in Tongzhi soon. I have also sent a counselor. As long as he can make up for the demerits, I will bring Yunhe back immediately."
"Your Majesty." Bai Wutong's little hand fell on him dishonestly, "After Yunhe left, I felt very lonely. Originally they were by my side every day, but now there is only Yunxi. Whenever Yunxi cries, my heart is very sad..."
Zhang Chengyan hasn't opened the harem sign for a long time.
In order to have fun with Wen Ruyun, he had never favored anyone before.
Now looking at Bai Wutong's pitiful appearance, how could he bear it anymore? The fire in his heart was completely aroused.
"emperor……"
The clouds are dispersed and the rain is stirred up, and the red waves are rolled up.
The flickering candlelight fills the room with beauty.
It's late at night and the dew is heavy.
Zhang Chengyan fell into a deep sleep.
Bai Wutong stood up, tiptoed out of bed, and went to the bathroom.
Chan'er blushed as she wiped her body. "My lady, the kitchen is still warming up the medicinal porridge for you. Would you like to drink some?"
"Well, come on, I'm a little hungry too."
After eating the medicinal porridge, Bai Wutong felt no sleepiness at all.
She looked coldly at Zhang Chengyan's sleeping face.
This man's words cannot be trusted.
How many of the promises he made before have he fulfilled?
If you want to get Yunhe back, you have to rely on yourself.
Zhang Chengyan turned over, touched the empty quilt next to him, and slowly opened his eyes, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I will sleep now." She lay down and nestled in Zhang Chengyan's arms. "Your Majesty, I will give you another child, okay?"
"Of course." Zhang Chengyan closed his eyes and kissed her forehead, "If you can give me two more princes, I will make you the queen."
Queen?
Bai Wutong closed his eyes.
She really wants to give it a try.
After this period of time, she has realized that revenge requires power, and protecting herself and her children also requires power!
The emperor's favor is certainly important, but if he changes his mind one day, everything will be gone.
If you really want to survive in this cannibalistic harem, you have to stand high enough.
At that time, not to mention that Xun Mingzhi made a mistake, even if she made a mistake herself, she would not be punished.
Originally, she entered the palace just to take revenge on Jin Weige, but now, she also wants to be the queen!
