Chapter 187 By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims
Seeing Zhang Chengyan fall into deep thought, Bai Wutong said no more.
As a concubine, she could ask questions, but she couldn't go too deep.
No emperor would like a woman to interfere in politics, even if it is true love.
The convoy moved forward slowly.
At sunset, we finally returned to the palace.
No one has lived in Zhaochun Palace these days, but Yunxiang cleans it every day, and it is no different from usual.
Bai Wutong sat on the couch, holding Yunhe in his arms, teasing him all the time, enjoying him very much.
During the days of separation, she missed her eldest son all the time.
Fortunately, he finally came back to me.
After dinner, Bai Wutong changed into a plain dress and headed towards the Yangxin Palace.
Zhang Chengyan is dealing with the government affairs that have piled up in the past few days.
Fortunately, nothing serious happened and it didn't take long.
Wang Decai stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao is here."
Zhang Chengyan didn't even raise his head, "Let her in."
Bai Wutong walked into the Yangxin Palace with small steps and sat beside him. "Your Majesty, you didn't go to Zhaochun Palace today. Yun and Yunxi missed you and cried all night."
Hearing about his two sons, Zhang Chengyan couldn't help but curl his lips, "I will be busy today, I will go there tomorrow."
Bai Wutong just wanted the emperor to spend more time with the two children.
The longer you spend together, the deeper your feelings become, and in the end, you will find it more difficult to leave.
What's more, these are two princes who are qualified to inherit the throne.
The capital city is full of dignitaries, but few of their sons are truly capable, and all their success depends on the blessings of their ancestors.
When some people get into big trouble, their family members will still help them even if they are very disappointed with them.
Some are for inheritance, while others are for love for children.
Bai Wutong also thought so. As long as their feelings were deep enough, he would not be willing to take action no matter what trouble Yun and Yunxi got into in the future.
Even if other concubines became pregnant and gave birth to princes, it would not shake the status of the two brothers in the emperor's heart.
If it weren't for Wen Chuyun, Bai Wutong would have thought that it was very difficult for the emperor to have children and that no one else could get pregnant except herself.
She had to make arrangements in advance and not waste any time.
Bai Wutong raised her slender hands to help grind the ink.
She lowered her head slightly, and under the candlelight, her profile was extremely soft and beautiful.
At this moment, the saying "red sleeves add fragrance" is true.
Seeing Zhang Chengyan put down the memorial in his hand and seemed to want to take a rest, Bai Wutong spoke again very sensibly, "Your Majesty, will the people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion be suspicious if the Duke of Zhenguo stays here? If he has made any arrangements in secret, it may threaten the safety of Your Majesty."
Zhang Chengyan sneered, "Even if they suspect it, it's useless. I have already sent people to make arrangements at the Zhenguogong Mansion. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory sent a letter saying that there will be a northwest wind in two days. In previous years, when encountering this kind of wind direction, the number of floods will increase."
Bai Wutong understood that this was a complete eradication.
This way she felt relieved. The Duke of Zhenguo had been in the capital for many years, had complex personal connections, and had many loyal generals under his command.
Such a person is like a centipede. If he cannot be killed in one go, he may have the possibility of making a comeback.
"I took a few more glances at the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo, and I think he is a cunning man. If he senses danger and chooses to flee, it will be troublesome. Your Majesty, I am so scared by the assassins of the Duke of Zhenguo that I dare not even close my eyes, let alone sleep. If the Duke of Zhenguo's men really escape, even if only one of them escapes, I will be terrified."
She leaned into Zhang Chengyan's arms as she spoke, her tone coquettish.
Such a tone would not make the emperor think too much. He would only think that she was really afraid, so she said a few more words.
Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Bai Wutong has always tried her best to be a good concubine.
Zhang Chengyan took her in his arms and asked, "So what do you want to do?"
"I dare not think about it, but when I am afraid, I subconsciously want to rely on the emperor."
Zhang Chengyan was very satisfied with what he said. "What you said is indeed reasonable. How about this? I will have someone send some rewards to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion tomorrow. This will dispel some of their doubts."
Bai Wutong thought so too.
Having achieved her goal, she found an excuse to leave.
The second day.
It's not even noon yet.
Wang Decai personally brought the imperial edict and rushed to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.
The eldest son and wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, together with their family members, knelt outside to listen to the order.
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims:
The Duke of Zhenguo was accidentally injured while hunting. I am very worried and feel like a thorn in my back. The pain is excruciating. The Duke of Zhenguo is a pillar of the imperial court. He is loyal and brave and has made many outstanding achievements. This accident is truly a tragedy for our dynasty. I have ordered the Imperial Hospital to do its utmost to treat the patient and ensure that the Duke of Zhenguo recovers as soon as possible. The doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau are all the best in the field of medicine. They will surely be able to bring the patient back to health and live up to my expectations.
Today, I specially grant the Duke Zhenguo’s Mansion one thousand taels of gold and some top-grade medicinal materials to help the Duke Zhenguo recuperate in his later years. He also gave one hundred pieces of silk and satin for use in the palace. I hope everyone in the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion will not worry.
At this moment, the Duke of Zhenguo is still in a coma and should not be disturbed. After two days, I will allow the Duke of Zhenguo's relatives to visit the palace to relieve their longing for him. The Duke of Zhenguo and I are like brothers. I pray to God to protect him and let him wake up quickly and recover his health. Everyone in the Zhenguo Mansion should follow my instructions and wait for good news.
So ordered! ”
Xie Anran, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo, kowtowed and saluted, "On behalf of the Duke of Zhenguo, I would like to thank the emperor for his grace! The emperor is concerned about me, and I am deeply grateful. May the emperor be healthy and the country be forever stable! I pray that God will have mercy on my father and he can wake up soon, serve the emperor again, and serve the emperor loyally!"
Wang Decai waved his hand, and the people behind him immediately brought over boxes.
"Thank you, sir, don't worry. After the emperor returned to the palace yesterday, he immediately summoned the Imperial Hospital to make sure that the Duke of Zhenguo can be cured. He will definitely be cured. The emperor is still waiting for my servants to serve him, so I will go back first."
"Go slowly, Eunuch Wang!"
After seeing Wang Decai off, Xie Anran immediately ordered someone to close the door.
He thought about it all night yesterday and still felt that there was something wrong with this matter. The emperor must be trying to harm his father!
As the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo and the future heir to the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, he is well aware of his father's long-term plans.
If I succeed...the next emperor of Darong Kingdom will be me!
The more he understood this, the more worried he became.
But when the emperor's reward arrived today, he felt a little relieved.
"Open the thing."
Several servants came forward and opened the boxes one by one.
The first box contains gold and silver.
The second box, up to the fifth box, are all filled with medicinal herbs.
And judging from the quality, it is definitely of top quality.
Xie Anran called the palace doctor and said, "Take a look at what medicinal herbs are in here."
"These are all medicinal herbs for treating bone injuries, external injuries, and recuperation. They are also of sufficient age. Judging from the quantity, they can be used for at least three months. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, so they can be used until the day when you are completely healed."
Xie Anran sighed, "If that's the case, then I'm relieved."
The rest of the people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion knew too little and did not understand his worries at all.
"I didn't expect the emperor would send so many good things."
"I don't know how the master is doing now."
"Didn't the emperor say that he could enter the palace in a few days? We will know then."
