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 56 You really know how to find a place
Chan'er walked quickly on the way to the imperial kitchen, and when she reached the door she deliberately took a few more glances.
After determining the location of the third stone, she went in to get her breakfast.
When she came out, she pretended to be tired and sat down to rest, but in fact she quietly put the note behind.
Not long after she left, the new palace maid Ziyuan approached the stone, took out the note, and left quietly.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it was three days later.
The agreed period.
Bai Wutong sat at his desk, reading by lamplight at night.
There was a storybook on the table, but she had no interest in it. Instead, she looked out the window nervously from time to time.
Outside Zhaochun Palace.
Jin Zhi was dressed in black and led a team on patrol.
He looked at the candlelight inside and walked to the door of the palace. "It's so late, and Concubine Zhao hasn't rested yet. Is there anything wrong?"
Xiao Ningzi heard the noise and stepped forward to report, "Master Jin, you are on patrol today. You are really tired. The queen is fine. Thank you for your concern, Master Jin."
"No problem. As a subject, I should share the emperor's worries." Jin Zhi glanced around the hall and waved his hand, "Let's go."
With just that one glance, he discovered at least three people.
Moreover, they are all masters and people close to the emperor, so he didn't know about this.
It seems that what Bai Wutong said is true. He has no way to take the person away today.
After patrolling a circle, Jin Zhi came into the darkness and unfolded the note in his arms.
"Master Jin, the Zhaochun Palace is heavily guarded, and there are many guards there. I am afraid that I cannot leave with you. I hope you will not take any risks and be careful after you give birth to the heir."
The handwriting is beautiful, and you can faintly smell a faint fragrance.
Fresh and elegant, it is unforgettable.
He read it twice more, crumpled up the note, and threw it into the lake.
The fat koi thought that food had come and rushed to grab it, causing ripples on the water surface. The last bit of paper went into the stomach of the largest one.
The sky brightened.
The weather is getting colder.
The concubines in the harem wore shawls and headed all the way to Fengyi Palace.
Xu Yao followed Wen Chuyun closely, "Sister Wen, I heard that the Queen was not in good health and never let us go to pay respects to her. Why did she suddenly go today? Could something have happened?"
She was a little scared. If she accidentally did something wrong, she, a little beauty, would be in trouble under the hands of those concubines.
Wen Chuyun clutched the handkerchief tightly, "I don't know either, I'll find out when I get there."
Tianxiang Garden was too far from Fengyi Palace, and when they arrived, they found that almost all the concubines had arrived.
Everyone was chattering, it was very lively.
The nanny stepped out of the door and bowed respectfully, "Ladies, please."
Concubine De walked in the front, followed by Concubine Hui. Jin Weige, who had changed from her previous arrogance and domineering attitude, came in third.
Everyone took their seats according to their seats.
The Queen sat at the head of the table, looked around, and coughed softly, "Today, I called all of you here for one thing. Concubine Zhao is pregnant, which is a happy event for the Darong Kingdom. I hope there will be more happy events like this."
The nanny handed her some warm tea, and she took a sip to moisten her throat. "Look at how thin Concubine Zhao is, and yet she can get pregnant. My sisters, you should hurry up and get pregnant with a heir as soon as possible to boost the prosperity of the Rong Kingdom."
As the mistress of the six palaces, she had to give them a good scolding despite her illness, showing the magnanimity that a queen should have.
Many concubines agreed, but they just smiled reluctantly.
They want to get pregnant, but they just can't.
Most of these people are not favored. It is considered a lot if the emperor favors them once a month. Some people cannot see the emperor for several months and cannot give birth to children.
A small part of it is favored, and it happens quite often, but there is no movement in the belly.
I also took fertility medication, but it didn't work at all.
Jin Weige sneered. Whenever she heard Bai Wutong's name, she couldn't help but get angry. "The Queen is right. But I say that your most urgent task is to curry favor with Concubine Zhao first, otherwise it will be too late to curry favor with her after the heir is born."
As soon as she said this, the hall fell silent instantly.
Many people were interested.
Now is indeed the best time to curry favor with Concubine Zhao.
But they didn't dare to respond. Everyone knew that Jin Weige and Bai Wutong had a real deep hatred. Even if she was not a noble concubine and had no title, she would still be a lean camel bigger than a horse.
The queen put down the teacup and smiled faintly, "What Concubine Jin said is right. You should go and take a look and take in the good fortune. Maybe you can get pregnant with a dragon heir sooner."
After that, she looked at Jin Weige, "As for Concubine Jin, you are still under house arrest, so don't go. I asked you to come here to let you relax. I know you are angry, but the world is not as big as the emperor's heir. As a concubine, you should be more generous."
Jin Weige stood up and bowed perfunctorily, "Yes, I understand. When I came here, I saw that the flowers in the courtyard were beautiful. I'm afraid they are the last bit of color in this late autumn."
The Queen's smile did not diminish at all. "That's right. It's a rare occasion for me to invite you ladies here today. Why don't we enjoy the flowers together? Come on, prepare tea and snacks."
Many concubines moved to the back garden.
Jin Weige looked up at Ding Zhaoyi.
The other party understood, greeted everyone one by one, and came to Wen Chuyun, "This is Sister Wen, right? You are worthy of being the most beautiful woman in the capital. You look really good. No wonder the emperor kept you in the Jinshen Palace and favored you every day afterwards."
Wen Chuyun bowed and thanked him.
Ding Zhaoyi held her hand enthusiastically, "Don't be so polite. You are young and beautiful, but I am old and ugly. It's really enviable. Come on, Sister Wen, how about we go over there to enjoy the flowers?"
Wen Chuyun couldn't refuse, so he had to go with him.
The two men came to the bridge, and the others followed them when they saw what was happening.
"Sister Ding really knows how to find a place. It's a unique view to enjoy the flowers on this bridge."
As a beauty, Wen Chuyun had to accept being squeezed by others, because she was in the lowest position now.
Ding Zhaoyi seized the opportunity, raised her hand and pushed from behind.
Wen Chuyun staggered and leaned on the railing.
Snap——
The railing is broken.
Her eyes widened, but before she could scream, the cold lake water instantly surrounded her.
"Oh my, Miss Wen fell into the water, someone come quickly!"
