Chapter 251 We must take the initiative to lure the snake out of its hole!

Bai Wutong's face was as black as ink, as if covered by a layer of frost.

She was mentally prepared.

The mastermind behind this will never let her fulfill her wish easily.

But she could never have imagined that the other party would resort to such despicable and cruel means.

The so-called haunted rumors and the cries of ghosts are clearly an elaborate farce!

In the capital, the majority of people are illiterate.

To them, the belief in ghosts and gods is like an invisible belief that can easily deceive people's minds, so they will easily believe these rumors.

Once the people are really misled, Bai Wutong's plan to build a golden body will not only come to nothing, but her previous contributions to controlling the epidemic will also be completely denied by everyone!

As an emperor, Zhang Chengyan was very thoughtful and could see it clearly. "What a ghost face! It's all a trick! Ghosts and gods don't exist in this world!"

If ghosts really exist, this inner palace should be the place with the most resentment.

Throughout the ages, countless lives have been lost within these palace walls.

Most of them died due to intrigue and power struggles.

The resentment of those who died in vain can reach the sky!

But when have you ever seen this palace really be haunted?

Even if there are occasional ghost sightings, after thorough investigation, it is clear that they are all man-made.

Wang Decai stood aside and swallowed his saliva. "Your Majesty, the people don't believe these explanations at all. Now they are emotional and are about to start making trouble again. What should we do? If they really believe that Concubine Zhao is behind this, I'm afraid it will cause another large-scale riot."

"Then let them make trouble!" Zhang Chengyan slammed the table, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "Let's see who dares to make trouble under my nose! Isn't Jin Zhi maintaining order in the capital? Anyone who dares to stand out will be arrested and severely punished!"

The mastermind behind the scenes provoked him again and again, simply treating him, the emperor, as a decoration!

After saying that, Zhang Chengyan turned around and gently held Bai Wutong's hand. "Don't be afraid. I am here to handle everything properly. Now that the epidemic has been effectively controlled, I will do my best to find the mastermind hiding in the dark and make him pay a heavy price for his actions. I will kill all his nine clans!"

Bai Wutong's eyes were slightly red, as if covered by a layer of mist.

She bit her lower lip and pretended to be moved and shed tears. Her voice was a little choked. "Your Majesty, I know in my heart that you are only thinking about me, but if you suppress the people violently, I am worried that it will lead to more serious consequences. I am thinking, why not invite the masters of the Huguo Temple to come down the mountain first? Since the people believe in ghosts and gods, they will definitely respect and trust the masters."

"As long as the masters come forward and tell everyone that there is no ghost story, or make it clear that the epidemic has nothing to do with me, I think the people will be convinced. But Your Majesty, when you invite the masters to come down the mountain, you must send more people to ensure their safety. I guess the mastermind behind the scenes will definitely not let the masters destroy his plan easily, and will definitely try every means to stop him. If we make comprehensive arrangements in advance, we may be able to capture them in one fell swoop, and then follow this clue to find the real reason, and perhaps we will have a great harvest!"

"You are absolutely right." Zhang Chengyan looked at Bai Wutong with admiration. She was becoming more intelligent and clever now. Her thoughts and ideas coincided with his own. She really won his heart. "Then let's do as you say. Wang Decai, you should immediately send out an order and tell them that I want to invite the monks of Huguo Temple to come down the mountain to hold a ritual for the salvation of the souls, and at the same time thoroughly investigate the truth of this matter."

"Remember, you must spread this news to every corner of the capital to calm down those restless people. When I find out the mastermind behind this, I will definitely not give him the opportunity to stir up trouble again!"

Wang Decai nodded hurriedly, responded repeatedly, and ran out in a hurry to convey the order.

The last riot caused by the epidemic killed half of the ministers, many of whom had known Wang Decai for a long time. That was why he was so worried today, fearing that such a tragedy would happen again.

Fortunately, Concubine Zhao was extremely intelligent and came up with such a comprehensive solution.

After Wang Decai left, Bai Wutong gently leaned in Zhang Chengyan's arms, her shoulders trembling and she kept sobbing, "Your Majesty, who on earth is it that is holding me back like this? I am pregnant with a dragon fetus. If this is really related to someone in the harem, then isn't it the harem interfering in government affairs and disrupting the rules of the court?"

After hearing this, Zhang Chengyan unconsciously tightened his arms around her, his eyes cold, "You are right, it seems that I can't just focus on one place, I must start from both the harem and the front court at the same time, maybe this way I can bring the mastermind to justice faster!"

Zhang Chengyan quickly began to make a plan. He did not hide anything from Bai Wutong and let her sit quietly beside him.

The first priority is to closely monitor the harem. From now on, anyone who wants to pass on information must first be reviewed by him.

But Zhang Chengyan knew that this was far from enough.

Since the mastermind behind this is so cunning, he will not expose himself easily as long as he is cautious enough.

So he must take the initiative to lure the snake out of its hole!

The night is as dark as ink.

The entire palace fell into its usual silence.

Duan Chunrou came to Tishun Hall holding the cakes she made herself, "Sister, I heard there's trouble outside again. Don't worry too much. Everything will be fine."

"Well, I also want to thank your father for spreading the portrait. Regardless of whether this matter succeeds in the end, I will remember this kindness in my heart."

Bai Wutong picked up a piece of cake and put it into his mouth without any hesitation, savoring it carefully.

When Duan Chunrou saw this, she felt a warm feeling in her heart and was deeply moved.

If it were someone else, pregnant with a dragon fetus, they would definitely be extremely cautious with the food sent from outside the palace, fearing any mishaps.

But her sister trusted her so much that she ate it without hesitation. This trust made her feel even more precious in this cannibalistic palace.

"Sister, if you need any help, just ask. I will do my best to help you."

Since I've helped once, it doesn't matter this time.

As the saying goes, help others to the end and help Buddha to the west, she is willing to lend a helping hand when her sister needs it most.

Bai Wutong took the handkerchief handed over by Yingchun and wiped his hands elegantly. "If I really need anything later, I will definitely not be polite to you. The cakes you make are really delicious. Please send some over when you have time."

"Don't worry, sister. I will send it back in two days." Duan Chunrou agreed. Thinking that it was getting late, she did not stay any longer and turned around to say goodbye and left.

Bai Wutong lay on the couch, reaching out and gently stroking her slightly bulging belly.

Since so many people don't want her to give birth to the child smoothly, she must not only give birth to the child, but also give birth safely, so as to make those people with ulterior motives even more jealous!
