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 41 I’m going to hit you!
This night.
The palace was silent except for Concubine Li's miserable cries.
The next day.
Bai Wutong got up early and picked flowers.
When the weather gets cold in the future, you won’t be able to see these flowers anymore.
"My queen, it's very cold this morning, please be careful." Lianxin considerately put clothes on her.
Bai Wutong looked at Xiao Ningzi who was busy with work, and frowned slightly, "Where's Chan'er? Why hasn't she gotten up yet?"
"Your Highness, I was just about to tell you about this. Chan'er has a fever. I'm afraid she has caught a cold. We should send her away immediately to prevent her from passing it on to you. She didn't do any work yesterday, but she has a fever today. I suspect she must have done something secretly last night. Your Highness, you can't keep such a double-minded person by your side any longer."
Recently, Bai Wutong has been increasingly relying on Chan'er, which has made Lianxin feel a sense of crisis. She is thinking about how to drive that person away and replace him with someone less smart.
"I'll go take a look." Bai Wutong handed her the basket, "Put it away and go find the female doctor."
Lian Xin pouted, "Yes."
Bai Wutong pushed open the door.
In a dim room.
Chan'er was lying on the bed, her cheeks red due to fever.
Hearing the noise, she opened her eyes dazedly, "My lady, I am sick, please get out."
"It's okay. I won't catch a cold."
Chan'er didn't understand the deeper meaning of this sentence. She took up the handkerchief with great effort and covered the lower half of her face.
Bai Wutong sat beside her and reached out to touch her forehead. "Chan'er, you have a high fever. I asked Lianxin to call a female doctor to reduce your fever. Speaking of which, you have always been in good health. How come you suddenly have a fever?"
Chan'er couldn't lie, so she just kept silent.
"Let me guess, you were scared, right?" Bai Wutong chuckled, took the handkerchief from her hand, dipped it in cold water, and placed it on her forehead. "The day before yesterday, I asked you to inquire about the live pig, and the emperor was almost hit by the live pig. You think I did all this."
Chan'er was speechless because that was exactly what she thought.
How could there be such a coincidence in the world?
Bai Wutong asked her to keep an eye on it, and the emperor was attacked right after, and even dozens of people died.
Especially when Lin Sheng brought people in to check yesterday, she was so frightened that she almost lost her soul.
I had nightmares last night and didn't sleep well. When I woke up, I had a high fever.
Bai Wutong chuckled, "You are so stupid. Since I dare to do it, why would I be afraid of others finding out? Even if you tell the emperor now that I did all this, do you think the emperor will believe it?"
Chan'er stood there in a daze. She didn't expect the Queen to admit it!
If it were someone else, they would definitely make all kinds of excuses.
As long as the reason is reasonable, she will believe it.
"My lady, you..."
"Shh." Bai Wutong reached out and pressed her lips, "Listen to me. I did everything right, and there is no third person except you."
Although Chan'er didn't know how many details there were, it was incredible that Bai Wutong could accomplish so much by himself!
Seeing that she didn't believe him, Bai Wutong didn't explain, "Believe it or not, it's up to you. Let me tell you one more thing. I'm pregnant."
Chan Er was so shocked that she sat up, "What!"
The Emperor had been childless for many years and had tried countless ways to get his daughter pregnant. Dozens of plump beauties in the palace had been favored by the Emperor, but none of them became pregnant. However, the Empress became pregnant after only being favored twice!
With her frail figure, she is the only pregnant woman in the palace!
This... this is even more incredible than the matter of the live pig!
"Look how scared you are." Bai Wutong touched her belly. "I definitely can't lie about the matter of the royal heir. Now I'll give you a chance. If you're willing to stay, you'll do a good job for me in the future. When the news of my pregnancy is revealed, I'll let you be my personal maid."
"If you don't want to, then leave now. I will give you some money, and I am not afraid that you will tell others about this. A maid like you who betrays her master will not have a good ending even if she has made great contributions. Which one do you want to choose?"
Although Chan'er was not smart, she was not stupid. Without thinking, she knelt on the ground despite her sick body and kowtowed, "I am willing to follow you forever!"
She had a hunch that Bai Wutong would definitely not lie about this matter, maybe she was really pregnant!
When this matter is exposed, she will no longer be a little beauty. Not only the harem, but the whole country will probably be shocked!
If the child is born, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, she will be the only one in the harem with a child.
Chan'er knew that she was not good enough and never thought that one day she would be able to keep up with such a powerful master!
"If I break my oath and harm Your Majesty, I will die a hundred times and never be reborn!"
"Okay." Bai Wutong gently helped her up. "You should keep today's incident in mind. The doctor will be here soon. Just go and see the doctor. Follow me, you won't regret it."
Half an hour later, the doctor finally arrived.
The female doctor who came was of the lowest rank, and on weekdays she could only diagnose the palace maids and practice her skills.
Seeing Bai Wutong, her fat face was full of contempt, and she did not even bow, "Madam, who is sick?"
"Yes, I am your servant." Chan'er stepped forward on her own initiative.
The female doctor stepped forward, took a quick look, and threw out a packet of medicine. "Take it three times a day, and it will be fine in two days. You can just bear with such minor illnesses in the future. How can a slave be so pretentious and work for your master? My master is a female doctor from Fujian. I want to follow my master to check the pulses of the ladies in the palace. I'm busy now."
Chan'er has a hard time expressing her suffering.
This female doctor is really good at putting others down and praising others highly.
If it were any other concubine's maid, how would she dare to speak like this? She would probably have been servile and fawning.
However, when Chan'er thought that Bai Wutong was pregnant and would surely achieve great success in the future, she felt a secret sense of joy and revenge in her heart.
Let her go wild.
When it is revealed one day that the queen is pregnant, she will be terrified and will kneel down to apologize!
“Bang!”
There was a crisp sound of applause.
Chan'er and Lianxin looked up suddenly.
The female doctor covered her face and stared at Bai Wutong, "You... you dare to hit me!"
"I'm hitting you. I'm the emperor's woman. No matter how low my position is, I'm still the master. How dare you, a lowly female doctor, bully my maid in front of me, Xiao Ningzi!"
Xiao Ningzi trotted forward, "My Lady."
"According to the palace rules, how should she be punished for not knowing the difference between high and low, first she did not show respect to me, and then she bullied my maids?"
This was the first time that Xiao Ningzi saw Bai Wutong get angry. Usually, she was delicate and weak. She was briefly surprised, then came to her senses and said, "Slap him on the cheek ten times."
"Then give her ten slaps to teach her a lesson."
"Yes." Xiao Ningzi walked forward.
The female doctor stepped back in fear, "You can't hit me, my master is a female doctor from Fujian!"
If it wasn’t for the female doctor from Fujian, Bai Wutong wouldn’t have fought!
As early as when she entered the palace, Xun Mingzhi gave her a detailed explanation of the background of the concubines in the palace.
Among them, the Min family has a close relationship with Jin Weige’s mother’s family.
Jin Weige had a miscarriage that year, which caused a lot of controversy, and it was the female doctor from Fujian who was in charge of treating her.
If you want to destroy someone, you must first make him crazy.
Bai Wutong wants to use this young female doctor to formally declare war on Jin Weige!
When Jin Weige becomes extremely dissatisfied with her and is about to cause trouble upon seeing her, that will be the day when her pregnancy pulse becomes apparent!
