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 206 Don’t reveal a single word!
Doctor Ji bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I am not a talkative person and will keep my mouth shut."
To express his gratitude, Bai Wutong was not stingy and asked Chan'er to get the silver again.
Doctor Ji accepted it calmly. Only in this way could she feel completely at ease.
"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to say. I know you care about the two princes, but they are almost one year old. They should be allowed to move around more and practice walking and grasping every day. This will be very beneficial to their physical growth."
"Doctor Ji, you are so thoughtful and considerate. I will definitely do as you say."
After seeing off Imperial Doctor Ji, Bai Wutong hugged Yun and Yunxi tightly, tears welling up in his eyes again.
This time, it was not pain, but joy.
Chan'er kept wiping her tears with her sleeves, her voice choked with sobs, "Your Majesty, you are a rare good person in the world, and the two princes are so well-behaved and sensible, this is the blessing they deserve! As the old saying goes, if you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune in the future. The future of the two young masters will definitely be better and better!"
"Well, they are born to have the best of everything in this world! Chan'er, remember this, what happened tonight must be kept secret from anyone, not a single word is allowed to be revealed!"
"Yes, I remember! Even if someone wants to beat me to death, I won't tell anyone!"
Bai Wutong slept particularly soundly that night.
The gloom and worries of many days were finally swept away.
The next morning, Bai Wutong got up just as the sky was turning pale.
She came to Yunxi and Yunhe and patiently helped the two little ones practice standing and walking.
While guiding Yun and Yunxi, she picked up objects in the room and told them what they were one by one.
The two wet nurses could not do anything except feeding the baby and could only stay in the next room.
They were actually happy to have some free time. After all, these were just two foolish princes. No matter how much they tried to please them, it would be useless. Now doing this would actually help them avoid a lot of trouble.
Yingchun was injured in the leg and is still resting.
Yunxiang came back from getting breakfast. As soon as she entered the palace, she smiled. "Your Highness, you don't know that when I arrived at the imperial kitchen today, they were the first to bring me breakfast. They didn't dare to delay at all. They brought me the hot food that had just come out of the pot. The palace maids who also came to get breakfast hid far away from me and didn't dare to provoke me."
Bai Wutong looked calm and sat down slowly. "That's right. I didn't kill a chicken to scare the monkeys yesterday for nothing. From now on, if anyone dares to act presumptuously in front of me, no matter who it is, I will deal with them as soon as they jump out. I will kill as many as they jump out, and I will show no mercy!"
She picked up the spoon and said, "Duan Chunrou helped me a lot this time. Find a time to send her the rosewood screen with four seasons flowers and birds inlaid with gemstones that the Queen Mother gave her. I noticed that she was quite interested in the screen. She helped me realize my wish, so I naturally have to return the favor. From now on, whenever Duan Chunrou comes to see me, no matter what time it is, she must come in and report it immediately. Don't be negligent at all."
"Yes, I understand. I will not treat you badly. Also, there is one more thing..." Yunxiang said, carefully taking out an exquisite brocade box from her sleeve pocket, "This is the detoxification pill that the master found outside. He specifically said that children can also use it."
Bai Wutong looked gentle and called softly, "Yunxiang, come here."
Just as Yunxiang was about to kneel down to pay her respects, Bai Wutong reached out and pulled her back, "I know that you didn't spread the news from yesterday, so you accepted this pill."
She knew in her heart that if Yunxiang had ulterior motives and wanted to leak the news, she could have told Jin Zhi's people today that Yun and Yunxi were already well and did not need the pill at all, so there was no need to take it back.
Yunxiang raised her head, her eyes full of sincerity, "My Lady, I have served you for so long, and I know what kind of person you are like a mirror. After so many years in this deep palace, you are the kindest and most generous master I have ever seen. I want to follow you wholeheartedly in the future."
Although she was Jin Zhi's person at first, after staying in Zhaochun Palace for such a long time, her heart had already leaned towards Bai Wutong.
Other concubines would become arrogant and domineering once they gained power, but Bai Wutong was different. She treated every servant in Zhaochun Palace consistently and kindly.
Moreover, as long as Bai Wutong's position is promoted, the servants in the palace will not only receive generous rewards, but their monthly salary will also increase.
The most important thing is that no matter how angry Bai Wutong is, he will never take it out on them. Such a master is so rare in this cannibalistic harem!
"It's great that you can understand this. From now on, you can serve me like Chan'er and the others. As long as I am in this palace, no one can bully you. If someone dares to do it, no matter who it is, I will seek justice for you and never let you suffer any injustice!"
Yunxiang stood by and served her the food skillfully.
Bai Wutong was in a good mood. He ate a few more bites before getting up and returning to his room.
Before I knew it, it was afternoon.
The sunlight shines through the carved window lattices, casting mottled shadows.
Wang Decai came hurriedly with small steps, holding a small box in his hand.
He smiled widely, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has issued an order that your confinement order be lifted."
"Release? Why?" Bai Wutong frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.
"Your Highness, it was Concubine Jin who interceded for you. She thought that you must be upset about the accident of the two princes, so she pleaded for you in front of the emperor, and the emperor lifted your confinement."
Bai Wutong snorted coldly and didn't believe a word of it.
“Eunuch Wang, the emperor is not worried that I will get sick from being confined to my room and won’t be able to take good care of Yun and Yunxi, right? If anything happens to the two princes again, his reputation as a saintly monarch will be tarnished!”
If the two princes had died inexplicably shortly after the accident, people in later generations would definitely talk about Zhang Chengyan. There might even be all kinds of conspiracy theories, suspecting that he was the murderer of the princes, just to prevent these two foolish sons from bringing shame to the royal family.
But if he were to keep it, at least it would help improve his reputation.
Even if I really have to die, it can't be recently.
Wang Decai was embarrassed when he heard this, and laughed dryly, "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. The emperor really loves the two princes and you. It's just that the two princes are in trouble, and the emperor is too sad to accept it for a while, so he neglected it."
So many days had passed since the incident, and Zhang Chengyan had never come to see him once.
As the emperor, you have been unable to accept the reality for such a long time. If you are really so fragile, how can you be a king?
Bai Wutong was able to cheer himself up and tried his best to detoxify Yun and Yunxi.
But he hid aside, did nothing, and was still thinking about how to become a saint king.
How hypocritical and heartless!
