Chapter 146 Let me be happy again
The seemingly stable harem was once again in turmoil.
Wang Decai personally led people to arrest all the female doctors who delivered the baby yesterday, and sent them to the Ministry of Punishment for severe torture.
The news soon spread to Yongshou Palace.
The Queen Mother leaned on the couch, her fat body like a pool of rotten meat, and no amount of makeup could hide the wrinkles on her face. "It seems that something went wrong during the birth yesterday."
The nanny at the side whispered, "Empress Dowager, Eunuch Wang will definitely come to arrest those midwives next. You personally found them, if you find any problems..."
"You're right. If no problem is found, it's fine. But if a problem is found, it will be my fault. Deal with those midwives and don't let Wang Decai find them. This way, there will be no gossip."
"Yes, I will do it right away."
The nanny swayed her fat body, walked quickly out of the hall, called a few confidants, and went to the backyard.
The four midwives didn't know what was going on. When they saw someone coming, they smiled.
The nanny smiled with a fake smile, "Now that Concubine Zhao, no, Concubine Zhao has successfully given birth, you have made great contributions, and the Empress Dowager has specially prepared a reward. Come with me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Madam!" The four of them followed happily behind.
The nanny took them to the back room after many twists and turns. "Someone, take these four down!"
"Why did you do that?"
"Her Majesty the Queen Mother!"
“Help!”
Several eunuchs and palace maids quickly tied up the midwife, stuffed a cloth strip into her mouth, and threw her into the woodshed at the back, "Stay still!"
It's still bright today, so it's not convenient to do anything.
Wait until dark and get rid of them!
As soon as the nanny returned to the front yard, Wang Decai arrived with his people.
He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has ordered me to find the four midwives."
The Queen Mother looked up at him and said, "Those midwives were very helpful. I gave them a reward yesterday and then sent them away. I guess they have left the palace now. What happened?"
Wang Decai chuckled, "I heard that someone tried to tamper with Concubine Zhao's delivery yesterday. The emperor is worried that this will happen again, so he wants to find the person behind it and make an example of him."
"If someone really did something, would Concubine Zhao still be alive?" The Queen Mother said coldly, "Okay, go back and tell the Emperor that there is absolutely no problem with the midwife I found."
Wang Decai bent his waist even deeper, "Empress Dowager, the emperor said the same thing, I am just here to go through the motions. The emperor has a deep love for you and your son, so he asked me to come and ask you, please don't make you angry. The emperor also said that he was anxious yesterday and went in to see Concubine Zhao, please don't blame me, Empress Dowager."
The Queen Mother finally smiled, "The Emperor is thoughtful. How could I be angry over such a small matter? Okay, you can go back now."
Wang Decai took his men away.
The nanny looked at his back and said with a smile, "Empress Dowager, the Emperor is truly filial."
The Queen Mother nodded, "He has indeed been very obedient recently and has not favored Concubine Zhao anymore. Wen Chuyun was able to get pregnant before, so I think Wen Ruyun will be pregnant soon. I am tired, help me go in and rest."
It's getting dark.
The moon is at its zenith.
The Queen Mother was lying lazily on the bed while two young eunuchs were massaging her feet.
She closed her eyes comfortably.
As she got older, she became lazy and only wanted to enjoy herself in the palace.
Sudden.
The force on my feet changed.
The Queen Mother opened her eyes and was about to scold, but she saw that the young eunuch standing beside her had been replaced by Fu Geng.
Her expression softened, "Why are you here?"
Fu Geng's men kept saying, "I heard that Concubine Zhao successfully gave birth to two princes. I thought the Queen Mother must be in a good mood, so I wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with her. Maybe I can get some extra money."
The Queen Mother was amused by his words, "You only know how to make me happy, come here."
Fu Geng stopped and walked to her side.
The maid was very discerning and handed over the handkerchief.
After wiping his hands, Fu Geng helped the empress dowager massage her head.
His voice was already very pleasant to the ear, and when he lowered it, it sounded even more pleasant like a musical instrument. "Your Majesty, I would like to stay tonight."
The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes and met his eyes.
Those narrow eyes were almost exactly the same as those of the late emperor.
"Okay, then you can stay."
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Fu Geng lowered his head and whispered to the Queen Mother, "I will definitely make you happy and satisfied."
"Haha, then I'll be waiting."
After a moment.
The candle went out.
The Queen Mother's suppressed voice echoed from the dim room.
for a long time.
It's all over.
The Queen Mother enjoyed Fu Geng's service, and stroked his cheek with her slightly old hand. "You did a good job. I like it very much. What do you want?"
Fu Geng suppressed his nausea and said, "I don't want anything. I just want the Queen Mother to be happy."
He leaned against the Queen Mother's arms, smelling the faint scent of old age on her body, his stomach churning, but he had to pretend to be flattering, "I am a low-class actor, and everyone can look down on me. Only the Queen Mother can make me feel alive, alive like a human being."
The Queen Mother held his thin shoulders and said, "Make me happy again."
Fu Geng's body stiffened, but he could only force a smile and start again.
Fortunately, he took the medicine in advance when he came.
Otherwise...looking at this fat and ugly body, there would be no reaction at all.
…
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Wang Decai stepped in quietly and came to the bedroom on the side.
Zhang Chengyan had not rested yet. He was wearing a loose robe and reading a book.
"Your Majesty, I have received news that Fu Geng has succeeded."
"Really?" Zhang Chengyan put down the book and stood up. "Okay, well done! Tell Fu Geng to find a way to determine the time for the next attempt and send a message in advance. Then I'll take people over and catch her in the act!"
Wang Decai agreed and when he turned back, he heard Wen Ruyun's voice coming from the side.
Do not look at what is inappropriate, and do not listen to what is inappropriate.
He quickened his pace and ran away quickly.
Zhang Chengyan came to the desk and picked up a memorial.
This is the memorial submitted by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion today, hoping that they can send Concubine Zhao's child to the Queen Mother for education.
"Oh, you still want to control me? Dream on!"
"Duke Zhenguo, the next time I let you into the palace, it will be when you hand over your military power!"
