Chapter 137 Only One of You and Me Can Survive
"Wha...what?" Duan Chunrou was horrified, "This is impossible!"
"Why not?" Wen Ruyun still had that smiling face, and was even in the mood to eat cakes. "If you don't do it, then I can only spread the mole on your body. The emperor dotes on me so much, and if I persuade him a little, what do you think will happen to you? Not only you, but maybe your Duan family will also make the emperor unhappy."
"You...you are so despicable!" Duan Chunrou turned around and wanted to leave.
Wen Ruyun's voice suddenly turned cold, "If you step out of this door today, I will make you live a life worse than death!"
Duan Chunrou stopped abruptly and clenched her teeth, "Tell me, what should I do!"
"That's right." Wen Ruyun regained her gentle appearance. "What I want you to do is very simple. That is to find a way to make Concubine Zhao take this medicine before she gives birth. I don't care what method you use. I only look at the result, not the process."
Duan Chunrou wanted to cut Wen Ruyun into pieces. "Are you kidding me? Doctor Ji said that Concubine Zhao will give birth in mid-July at the latest. Since it's twins, it might be earlier. I don't have time to give her the medicine!"
"I don't care. Since you can't do it, I can only attack you." Wen Ruyun put down the porcelain bottle in his hand. "The choice is yours. Do you want to die or take a chance? Choose for yourself."
Duan Chunrou was silent for a long time, and finally could only grab the porcelain bottle and turn away.
"That's right. If you really do this, we will be good sisters in the future, and I will let the emperor pamper you. By the way, do you not want that maid anymore?"
Duan Chunrou could only stop and wait for Chun Xing to come out. Then she left quickly, not wanting to hear Wen Ruyun's voice anymore.
Duan Chunrou didn't stop until she walked to a place outside where there was no one, breathing heavily.
Chun Xing's face turned pale. "Your Majesty, are we really going to do this? If the Emperor finds out, it will be a capital crime! Concubine Zhao still has the heir to the throne, maybe... the entire clan will be implicated!"
"Shut up!" Duan Chunrou covered her mouth. "How dare you say that? From now on, you are not allowed to say a word. Let's talk about it when we get back."
The two returned to the room as quickly as possible.
Duan Chunrou sent away the rest of the palace servants, closed all the doors and windows, and then slumped down on the couch.
Chun Xing knelt on the ground, her legs weak with fear.
"What should I do?" Duan Chunrou was completely confused at this time.
Wen Ruyun is too favored now. The emperor even sent Xu Yao to the cold palace for her and even ignored Concubine Zhao. If she did something wrong, she might really be finished.
Once a woman enters the palace, she can never expect to regain her freedom.
Unless, go out sideways!
But if I take action, it would be equivalent to leaving a huge handle in Wen Ruyun's hand, and then I would completely become the other party's pawn.
Whatever she said, she would do it, without any room for resistance.
"What should I do? What should I do?"
Chun Xing trembled and said, "My queen, why don't you just hold off for a while... let the adults think of a solution."
"No, if we do this, the entire Duan family might be implicated. There's no point in dragging it out. I know too well what kind of person Wen Ruyun is."
Duan Chunrou looked at the porcelain bottle in her hand. "It seems... this is really the only way to go. I will kill Zhaopin first, and then find a way to get some leverage on Wen Ruyun to check and balance each other. This way I still have a way to survive. If I don't do it now, then there will really be no way to survive."
Everyone who voluntarily enters the palace has ambitions.
Even if she doesn't want to, now that she's here, she'll have ambitions.
Because if you can't get a high enough position, you will become a target for others to step on.
Others only see the extravagance in the palace, but fail to see how those unfavored concubines live.
Not only do they have to eat leftovers, but they also have to be on guard against the people above them using them as knives.
If you are not careful, you may become cannon fodder in the struggle.
How many people can truly have a good ending?
"My Lady, are you really going?" Chun Xing's lips turned pale. "This... this is too risky!"
"What else can I do if I don't take risks? If the truth is revealed, I will sever all ties with the Duan family. From now on, you should behave normally and don't let others see it!"
Chun Xing tried twice before she stood up. "My queen, I am useless. I have been captured by them and cannot help you. But don't worry, my queen. I will live and die with you!"
"Well, I believe you. I need to think about how to drug Zhaopin..."
In the blink of an eye.
The three days passed in a flash.
It's almost the end of June.
Bai Wutong stroked her belly and said, "You will be able to come out soon."
"Sister, I came to see you."
The voice arrives before the person arrives.
Duan Chunrou walked into the hall with a smile on her face, "I made some cakes today and sent them to my sister to try."
"Well, you're thoughtful."
Bai Wutong stared at her face for a while, then looked away, "You came here suddenly today, not just to give me cakes, right? Did something happen?"
Duan Chunrou was shocked. She should not have shown it. How did Bai Wutong find out?
"Sister, I'm fine. Isn't it true that a relationship can only become deeper if we move around from time to time?"
Seeing that she was not telling the truth, Bai Wutong did not continue asking.
Duan Chunrou thought she had concealed it well, but there was obviously something wrong with that fake smile.
"Sister, please try the cakes I made."
Bai Wutong took a glance and said, "It looks good."
"Of course, sister, I'm in the mood today, so I got up and started making it. This is my best pastry, and many people want to eat it but can't."
As she spoke, Duan Chunrou took out her chopsticks, picked up a piece herself, and placed it on the small plate in front of Bai Wutong. "Sister, try it. If it tastes good, I'll make it again and send it to you next time."
"Do you want me to eat pastries so much?" Bai Wutong looked up at her.
Duan Chunrou's heart skipped a beat. Although the look in his eyes was calm, for some reason it made her feel creepy.
That's impossible. I have demonstrated every sentence I said today countless times. There will definitely be no problem.
Bai Wutong picked up the pastry and said, "Okay, let me try it."
Duan Chunrou stared at it intently. When she saw that the cake was about to enter her mouth, she suddenly opened Bai Wutong's hand and said, "Don't... don't eat it!"
After doing all this, she was completely deflated and collapsed in the chair, "I'm done, but I can't do the kind of thing that Wen Ruyun did!"
She covered her face, tears streaming down her face. "I just want a place to survive in the palace. I never thought about fighting for anything. Why is it so difficult?"
Bai Wutong raised his hand and placed it on her shoulder, "I knew you would poison the cakes."
Duan Chunrou raised her tear-stained face and asked, "Then why are you still eating?"
"I wanted to give you one last try, and luckily you didn't let me down. Otherwise, when I made it clear myself, we would have been enemies. In this harem, only one of us can survive."
