Chapter 126 Why do you ask?
Mid-May.
The weather is hot and the sun is scorching, and we can already feel the arrival of summer.
Bai Wutong was half lying on the couch, and Chan'er was massaging her with flower oil.
Yunxiang stepped into the palace and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the suppression of bandits was very successful. Without the bandits, the people will surely live a better life."
Suddenly mentioning the successful suppression of bandits means that Jin Zhi has returned.
Bai Wutong looked at her with a smile, "Yunxiang, come here."
"My lady, what do you want?"
"Please help me buy some things outside the palace."
Although Yunxiang was asked to help, the one who could actually do it was Jin Zhi.
He is the only person Bai Wutong can use as a connection.
She read out what was needed, and Yunxiang wrote it down on a piece of paper, "My Lady, is that all?"
"Yes, go ahead."
The next morning.
Yunxiang came back with something, "My queen, these are all medicinal herbs. If you use them carelessly, they may harm the heir to the throne..."
Bai Wutong interrupted her, "Although it is a medicinal herb, it is not harmful to humans. I am just trying to make some new incense recipes."
Yunxiang dispelled her doubts and stopped asking.
She opened the package only when Bai Wutong was the only one left in the room.
Each of these herbs is non-toxic when taken individually, but when several of them are taken together, they become poisonous.
Her baby is seven and a half months old and is due in two months.
Bai Wutong has a feeling that this time the birth will be earlier, probably at the end of June.
That was a good opportunity for someone to harm her.
I have been in favor recently, and Jin Weige must know about it, and might even take action.
There is also the Queen, who may also interfere.
Even if those midwives were hired by the Queen Mother, they could not be trusted.
Bai Wutong now only believes in herself, and her childbirth was not difficult, so she didn't need a midwife at all.
By then, she will find a way to prevent those midwives from getting close to her.
As long as Jin Weige makes a move, she will spread the poison on the other party.
At that time, she would suffer from leprosy all over her body, unbearable itching, sleepless nights, and great pain.
Even if it heals in the end, it will leave scars, which are very similar to Wen Chuyun's injuries.
Bai Wutong put these herbs together, ground them himself, and muttered to himself, "Jin Zhi, you probably didn't expect that the things you sent in to help me would actually harm your sister."
As she thought about it, she felt extremely happy.
If it weren't for Jin Zhi, she and her father and mother would not have been sent to the palace!
Jin Weige is the murderer and Jin Zhi is the accomplice!
She had tried to win over Jin Zhi before, not only to find a suitable helper, but also to kill him and destroy his heart.
When the day comes when she successfully defeats Jin Weige, she will tell Jin Zhi the truth in person.
Let him know that he is also an accomplice in harming his sister.
How painful it would be for him then!
Bai Wutong raised the corners of his lips and revealed a gentle smile, "I'm really looking forward to it..."
I look forward to seeing the two of them in pain that day.
"My lady." Chan Er pushed the door open and saw her smile. She felt a chill all over her body. "What's wrong with you?"
Bai Wutong was puzzled, "Why do you ask that?"
"My lady, your smile..." Chan'er didn't know what to say, "I wanted to say that you smiled, did you think of something happy?"
Bai Wutong took Chan'er's hand and said, "Yes, I thought of something happy."
She doesn't want to hurt anyone, and she doesn't want to become someone she hates.
But there is no other way, revenge must be taken, no matter what means are used!
Chan'er thought of the important matter, "Your Majesty, today Concubine Wen's sister came to the palace, saying that she wanted to take care of Concubine Wen and let her recover from her injuries as soon as possible, and then give birth to a prince for the emperor."
"Wen Ruyun?"
"Yes, that's the person!" Chan'er had heard what Duan Chunrou said before, and her face was full of indignation, "Your Majesty, she must have come to the palace to seduce the emperor. Concubine Wen's child was lost, why did she come in to serve? It's clearly an excuse."
Bai Wutong let go of her hand, picked up the teacup, and returned to his usual calm demeanor. "Since he's already entered the palace, there's no way to get him out."
However, it is not so easy to gain the emperor's favor.
She had finally pried open the door of her heart, and she would never allow anyone to close it again!
"Chan'er, tell Yunxiang to find a few people to keep an eye on the situation in Wuyou Palace. Don't worry about Wen Chuyun, just focus on Wen Ruyun."
"Yes, I'll do it right away!"
…
Wuyou Palace.
Wen Chuyun still had the cloth wrapped around her face. She would apply medicine on it every day and then take it off to check, hoping that one day her face would suddenly return to its original appearance.
But until now, there are still scars all over.
She was a little anxious, and the Wen family was also anxious.
Wen Chuyun stared at the woman opposite him. She had a similar face to his, but she was whiter, with smoother skin and a similar figure.
It can be said that Wen Ruyun grew up to look like Wen Chuyun when she was born.
On the surface, she was the second daughter of the Shizhonglang, but in reality she was always just a substitute.
Only when something really happens will the fake one be brought on stage.
Wen Chuyun doesn't think he is useless. What the Wen family did is ridiculous!
Her voice was hoarse, but her tone was extremely sharp, "Wen Ruyun, do you know that you are my fake?"
Wen Ruyun smiled gently, not angry at all, "Sister, I know that I never dare to pursue higher goals, nor do I dare to have unrealistic dreams."
"Then why didn't you refuse Dad? I think you just wanted to come in and seduce the emperor!"
Wen Ruyun lowered her eyes, "Dad told me to enter the palace. Sister, I don't want to, but I have no choice."
"What do you mean there's nothing I can do? It's obviously you who's not being honest!" Wen Chuyun picked up the teacup and smashed it hard on Wen Ruyun's body. "Didn't I ask you to take care of me? Okay, then you stay here and take care of me. Don't even think about running to the emperor!"
"Go, pour me a cup of tea."
Wen Ruyun stood up to pour tea, and did not forget to clean up the broken pieces.
She stood beside Wen Chuyun, and her voice was very similar to hers, "Sister, I will do whatever you ask me to do, as long as you are happy."
"Don't speak in my voice!" Wen Chuyun has always looked down on his sister, but he never expected that one day she would enter the palace to replace him.
She raised her hand, unable to suppress the anger in her heart any longer, and slapped Wen Ruyun hard on the face, "You'd better behave yourself. Don't think I don't dare to ruin your face."
"Don't worry, sister."
In the afternoon.
Wen Chuyun fell asleep.
Wen Ruyun looked at the bronze mirror and the side of her face that was slapped didn't seem to be swollen enough.
She hit herself hard, raised the corners of her mouth, and said, "This is the right way."
Wen Ruyun stood up and followed the route his mother told him, and finally found Yongshou Palace.
"My daughter Wen Ruyun wants to see the Queen Mother. Please let her know."
After a moment, Mammy's voice came, "Come in."
Wen Ruyun lowered his head and entered Yongshou Palace.
An old voice sounded, "Are you the second daughter of the Wen family?"
"Exactly."
"Lift your head and let me see."
Wen Ruyun raised her head, but tilted it slightly.
The Queen Mother saw the red and swollen half of her face at a glance and was not surprised.
There were many such things in the previous dynasty. No one could accept their sister entering the palace to compete for favor.
It was just a slap in the face, nothing more.
"She looks good, very much like your sister." The Queen Mother's eyes fell on her plump figure. "Yes, I like her very much. You stay with Concubine Wen for two days first, and I will arrange for you to meet the Emperor."
"Thank you, Queen Mother, but..." Wen Ruyun raised her eyes with some fear, then quickly lowered them, "I am a little scared."
The Queen Mother knew what she was afraid of and called a maid over, "From now on, she will be yours."
Wen Ruyun finally smiled, "Thank you, Queen Mother."
