Chapter 195 I won’t take any loss!
Human...human blood!
Wen Chuyun only felt his heart beating wildly and uncontrollably.
If you have to cover your entire body with human blood every month, doesn't that mean you have to kill someone every month?
She didn't think it was cruel, just troublesome.
"Your Majesty, this condition is too harsh for me. I am only a concubine now, and I only have a few palace maids around me. If I kill one every month, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will definitely notice something is wrong."
"Don't worry about that. I will help you. But I have something I need you to do right now."
Wen Chuyun cursed in his heart, this cunning woman, he had just been forced onto her pirate ship, and she was already impatiently trying to force him to take action, she really wasn't willing to take even a little loss!
The miraculous medicine originally belonged to him. If it weren't for the sudden misfortune that befell the Duke of Zhenguo, how could he have fallen into such a humble and begging situation.
"Please speak, Your Majesty." Wen Chuyun's face remained respectful, but a hint of unwillingness and resentment flashed in his lowered eyes.
"I trust you, so I entrusted you with this important task. I am now confined to Fengyi Palace by the Emperor, and the palace maids in the harem were just replaced a few days ago, so the manpower available is really limited. However, I still have a few very important chess pieces, and I need you to contact them. As long as you work together and act according to my instructions, everything will be safe!"
Wen Chuyun felt her heart swell when she saw the queen speaking so seriously. She asked nervously, "Your Majesty, what exactly do you want me to do?"
"I want to take action against Concubine Zhao, but my current situation means I can neither kill her nor do anything to her. But her two sons are my only chance to take action. You should understand that as long as the prince is disabled, he will completely lose the qualification to inherit the throne!"
After hearing what the queen said, Wen Chuyun almost refused without even thinking about it.
This is simply playing with your own life!
The emperor cherishes those two princes as if they were the apple of his eye. Any mistake would be a serious crime punishable by death!
If the Emperor found out that she was involved in this matter, the Queen might be able to save her life by relying on her status, but she, a mere concubine, would definitely die!
For some reason, Wen Ruyun's image suddenly appeared in her mind.
This younger sister was doted on in the past, even overshadowing Concubine Zhao, but even so, she was gone just like that.
"Empress, these two princes are now being taken care of by Concubine Zhao herself. The Emperor has to visit them almost every day. I'm afraid it will be very difficult to take action."
The Queen snorted softly upon hearing this, and a disdainful sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. "It was precisely because Concubine Zhao took care of her personally that I found the opportunity! I have my confidants in both the Imperial Hospital and the Imperial Kitchen. Concubine Zhao prescribed a medicinal diet recipe for the wet nurse to take, and these medicinal diets were all cooked by the Imperial Kitchen. Tell me, if I had someone secretly change the recipe and let the wet nurse eat the poisonous medicinal diet, what would happen?"
Wen Chuyun thought for a moment and said slowly, "Now the two princes are still breastfeeding. If the nurse accidentally eats poisonous food, the two princes will also be poisoned."
"That's right!" The Queen nodded with satisfaction and praised generously, "I know that Sister Wen is smart. You just need to help me pass the message, and you don't need to worry about other things."
There is a rift between Concubine Zhao and Wen Chuyun. If Wen Chuyun were to step forward, it would easily alert the enemy.
So Wen Chuyun just needs to help convey the message, and the rest will naturally be carried out according to the plan.
The queen leaned lazily on the couch, stretched out her hand, slowly picked up a piece of cake, and with a little force from her fingertips, the cake instantly broke into two pieces.
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, and she said coldly, "In the eyes of the emperor, all this will be Concubine Zhao's fault. She was the one who insisted on coming up with the prescription herself and taking care of the children herself. If anything happens to the two princes, she will be the culprit!"
She had been thinking about this method for a long time.
Ever since the incident of beating the drum to appeal for justice, she has been trying to find a way to deal with Concubine Zhao.
Wen Chuyun was still full of resistance. At this moment, she only wanted to restore her appearance so as to please the emperor and gain his favor.
In this deep palace, only with grace can she have hope of survival.
"Your Majesty, can you please wait a little longer until I recover my appearance..."
"I can't wait!" The Queen's aura suddenly changed, and the look she gave Wen Chuyun was no longer gentle, but instead full of resentment and cruelty. "I am in this situation today because of her! If I don't get rid of her, how can I swallow this anger!"
It was because of this hatred in her heart that the queen's body became increasingly weak.
Now, not only has her reputation been ruined among the people, but everyone says that she is not worthy of being the queen.
In the emperor's mind, he has become a vicious person!
She was the queen, but she was confined here and couldn't even leave the palace.
Even her biggest backer, the Duke of Zhenguo, fell because of Concubine Zhao. How could she not hate him!
This Concubine Zhao was simply a calamity star sent by God to bring disaster upon her!
Wen Chuyun was filled with resentment, but he had no choice but to agree for the time being.
Seeing that she had given in, the queen smiled again, "You just need to go find this person..."
Time flies and two days pass in a flash.
The secret letter sent by Wen Chuyun finally received a response.
The letter was written by Wen Zhemao, using the Wen family's unique code.
Wen Chuyun unfolded the letter and just took a few glances at it. Her face instantly became extremely ugly, her hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and she tore the letter into countless pieces like crazy.
"What the Queen said turned out to be true. This is terrible. I'm afraid I've really gotten on her bandwagon! Forget it, now I can only do as she says!"
Wen Chuyun let out a long sigh, feeling helpless and unwilling.
She suppressed her inner irritation, called her most trusted maid, and whispered, "Go to the imperial kitchen and get me a portion..."
…
In the golden autumn season, the sun is warm during the day, exuding the comfort of autumn.
But at night, the cold wind whistles and brings a hint of chill.
Bai Wutong gently settled Yunhe, who was already soundly asleep.
Yunxi, who was standing aside, had no desire to sleep at all. She opened her big eyes, which were clearly black and white, and kept rolling around, full of strong curiosity about everything around her.
But he was very well-behaved and sensible. Even so, he didn't make any sound, as if he really understood that his brother was sleeping and could not be disturbed.
Bai Wutong looked at his cute little son with joy in his heart. He gently picked him up and coaxed him softly, "Go to sleep quickly. Didn't you see that your brother has fallen asleep?"
Yunxi blinked her big eyes, and her innocent look almost melted Bai Wutong's heart.
This is her child, smart, well-behaved, sensible and beautiful. In her eyes, he is simply perfect.
Yunxi inherited Zhang Chengyan's handsome looks and also has the blood of his own Li Nu.
Although the bloodline is not pure enough, he is still a close relative with a deep blood relationship with my father and mother.
They are the continuation of their family's life.
As night fell, the entire palace was gradually swallowed by darkness.
The lights in the palace went out one by one, and finally, everything fell into endless darkness.
The next morning, it was just dawn.
As per custom, Chan'er fetched the medicinal food from the imperial kitchen and presented it to Bai Wutong respectfully.
Bai Wutong took out a silver needle, slowly inserted it into the medicinal food, and waited quietly for a quarter of an hour before taking out the silver needle.
The silver needles were as bright as new, with no signs of blackening, proving that the medicinal food was non-toxic.
She lowered her head again, took a sip of the medicinal food, and savored it carefully.
It tasted exactly the same as usual and didn't smell anything unusual.
"Okay, send it to the nurse."
