Chapter 196 I really don’t know what’s going on!
These days, Bai Wutong strictly controls the wet nurse's diet and checks everything she eats carefully, for fear that someone might harm Yun and Yunxi.
They are the only two princes in the palace, and there are countless eyes watching them in the dark.
Although the emperor also sent a number of secret guards to protect their safety, Bai Wutong was still worried.
Deep in the palace, concubines fight for power and profit, and their methods of harming people are endless.
There is nothing they dare not do, only things they can't imagine.
For the safety of the children, she must always be vigilant and not slack off.
Chan'er delivered the medicinal food to the wet nurse as instructed.
After the wet nurse fed the two princes, she carried them back to Bai Wutong.
During the day, Bai Wutong personally took care of the two children almost every step of the way.
Whether it was teaching them to read and write or showing them exquisite calligraphy and paintings, she did it herself and never gave others the chance to interfere.
At this moment, Bai Wutong carefully placed the two children in the cradle and picked up a book.
Many of the words in this book were unfamiliar to her.
She was originally just a clever cat servant whose knowledge of written language was very limited.
But in order to better teach his two children and let them receive a good education from the very beginning of their enlightenment, Bai Wutong humbly asked others for advice, studied word by word, and managed to thoroughly understand this book full of unfamiliar characters.
"There is nothing more beautiful than nature. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the peaks are majestic, and the rivers are surging, the waves are magnificent, and the flow is endless..."
Yun and Yunxi narrowed their eyes and laughed to themselves.
On the carved wooden bed, Bai Wutong was wearing a moon-white silk dress with delicate crabapple flower patterns embroidered on the hem. The cradle swayed gently with her movements.
Her long black hair was loosely tied up, and a few strands of hair fell beside her snow-white cheeks, making her eyebrows and eyes look even more picturesque. She had a faint smile on her lips and was staring at the two small cradles beside her.
Outside the window, golden sunlight shines through the carved window lattices, falling on her body like fine golden gauze, outlining a faint halo.
The warm atmosphere and sunshine blend together to create a warm and beautiful picture.
As soon as Zhang Chengyan stepped into the inner room, he saw this scene.
His heartbeat quickened involuntarily. Every time he saw Bai Wutong, he felt that this woman was more and more extraordinary and otherworldly.
Especially after she gave birth to children, her beauty became more gentle and kind, making her even more charming.
Compared with her, all the concubines in the harem pale in comparison.
Even Jin Weige, who once made his heart beat, was not half as good as Bai Wutong in terms of appearance and temperament.
Zhang Chengyan quickened his pace and came to her side impatiently. He stretched out his long arms and gently embraced her slender waist in his arms.
"Your Majesty, you are like this again. You scared me." Bai Wutong said coquettishly, but her body naturally leaned towards him, "Your Majesty, in a little over a month, it will be Yun and Yunxi's first birthday. We didn't hold a hundred-day banquet before, so we should hold a first birthday banquet, right?"
"Of course we have to!" Zhang Chengyan responded without hesitation, "The Hundred Days Banquet could not be held because of the flood. If we had held a lavish banquet at that time, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction and complaints from the people."
In order to maintain the reputation of the Holy King, he thought carefully about many matters and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
"Now that the flood has subsided, I will definitely hold a grand birthday party!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, Yunhe, who had been lying obediently in the cradle with a smile on her face, suddenly clenched her fists and burst into tears with a loud "wow".
"What happened?" Bai Wutong was shocked and quickly picked him up. He first reached out and touched the swaddling clothes wrapped around his body. It was dry as usual and not wet.
Besides, the child had just finished feeding, so he shouldn’t be hungry.
Before Bai Wutong could figure out the reason, Yunxi, who was watching all this curiously, also started crying.
The cry was loud and the little face turned red, as if he couldn't breathe, and he looked very scary.
Bai Wutong didn't dare to delay even a moment, and shouted anxiously, "Quick, go call the imperial physician!"
A moment later, several imperial doctors came hurriedly and stood forward with serious expressions to check the situation.
After a careful examination, one of the doctors' face suddenly changed and he exclaimed, "This is... This is poisoning!"
"Poisoned?"
Hearing these two words, Bai Wutong felt his eyes go dark and he almost fainted. "How is this possible? They are still breastfeeding!"
The imperial physician's eyes were sharp, and he made a prompt decision, "There must be something wrong with the wet nurse, call her out quickly!"
The nurse came in panic, knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed repeatedly, and cried, "I really don't know what's going on. Your Majesty, please look into it! I absolutely dare not harm the little prince..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the imperial physician, "Stop talking nonsense and stretch out your hand!"
The nurse shut her mouth instantly, and her outstretched hand trembled uncontrollably.
Bai Wutong stared at her intently, his heart almost in his throat.
She tried desperately to recall it in her mind, not missing any detail.
But I can't figure out where the problem lies.
Since the wet nurse came to Zhaochun Palace, she has been staying here and has never taken a step out.
Apart from Chan'er and Yingchun, even Yunxiang was not allowed to get too close.
Bai Wutong personally checked their daily diet, and there were secret guards sent by the emperor to watch over them at all times.
With such strict precautions, how could the bad guys have the opportunity to poison?
The imperial physician let go of the nurse's hand, his expression solemn, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the problem lies with this nurse! She was poisoned, and the poison flowed through her breast milk, causing the two little princes to be poisoned as well!"
Hearing this, Zhang Chengyan was immediately furious, with a biting cold air emanating from his body. He roared, "Take him away and chop him off immediately!"
"Wait!" At the critical moment, Bai Wutong spoke out to stop him.
Instead, she calmed down. There was something indescribably strange about this matter.
If we don’t get to the bottom of this, we will be unable to prevent it in the future and the safety of our children will be endangered again!
She took a deep breath, suppressed her inner panic and anger, and said in a deep voice, "Don't kill her yet. Imperial Physician, the most urgent thing is to detoxify her!"
