Chapter 201 Add it, I'll go see her
The white sycamore will not fall.
There is a new life growing in her belly.
But she did not intend to inform the emperor of the news immediately. Instead, she wanted to take this opportunity to see the true faces of the people around her.
In this deep palace, people's hearts are unpredictable, so it's a good opportunity to see who can be won over.
Bai Wutong gently held Duan Chunrou's hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you for coming to see me. I am now under house arrest and have difficulty moving. I have also upset the emperor. I urgently need some medicinal herbs. I am afraid I have to trouble my sister to help me find them."
In this harem, there has always been a trend of praising the powerful and bullying the weak.
In the past, when she was at the peak of her glory, people would rack their brains to give her whatever she wanted and flatter her.
But now that she has fallen out of favor, the two princes have become stupid and disliked by the emperor, and those people's faces will immediately become cold and mean, and they may even add insult to injury.
Duan Chunrou nodded without hesitation and agreed immediately, "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely help you find the herbs. Sister, please write down the prescription you need, and I will find a way right away."
Bai Wutong nodded slightly, turned and walked to the table, picked up the pen, but his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past.
At that time, she was just a naive little cat. She secretly ran to the depths of the forest to play without telling her parents, completely unaware of the dangers involved.
A poisonous snake suddenly jumped out and bit her hard.
The intense pain hit her instantly, her eyes went dark, and she almost lost her life.
Fortunately, my father and mother were proficient in herbal medicine and were able to detoxify her.
The entire detoxification process is long and difficult.
When she woke up again, more than half a month had passed.
Fortunately, the poison did not leave any sequelae, but since then, A Niang often stayed by her side, telling her the story over and over again.
A'niang always described it vividly. She almost could not be saved. Even the color of her fur turned dull. She kept her eyes closed for a whole half month, without any life.
These words frightened the young Bai Wutong so much that for a long time she was filled with fear of that forest and never dared to go there alone again. Because of this, I became interested in studying herbs and learned from my parents.
Looking back now, those scenes are still vivid in my mind.
Bai Wutong frowned and thought, stroking the pen in his hand on the paper, slowly writing down the recipe his father had taught him.
She added a few more herbs. These herbs seemed ordinary, but they were actually used to confuse people and prevent others from getting the prescription.
After finishing, she gently blew away the ink marks on the paper, folded the prescription carefully, and handed it to Duan Chunrou, "Sister, I'm really sorry to bother you this time. This matter is too important to me, and I really have no other way."
Duan Chunrou took the prescription and said, "Sister, what are you talking about? You have been helping me all along, and I have long wanted to find a chance to repay you. Don't take this little thing to heart. I will definitely bring the herbs back to you as soon as possible."
Watching Duan Chunrou's figure disappear at the palace gate, the forced smile on Bai Wutong's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by deep worry.
She quickly returned to the bedside and gently hugged Yun and Yunxi tightly in her arms, "Don't be afraid, Mother is here, Mother will definitely save you."
They have the blood of the raccoon slaves in their bodies, and their physical constitution should be similar to mine, so they should be more resistant to poisons.
The poisoning time is still short now. As long as we can find medicinal herbs as soon as possible to detoxify them, there may still be a glimmer of hope and they can regain their former liveliness and intelligence!
…
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Zhang Chengyan stared blankly at the table with his eyes wide open.
It was piled with memorials, but he had no intention of dealing with them.
The images of the two children kept appearing in my mind.
"Wang Decai, pass on my decree to cancel the next seven days of morning court sessions."
Wang Decai hurriedly bowed and lowered his head, not daring to even breathe, and responded cautiously.
The emperor has been on the throne for seven years, during which time he has endured countless rumors and gossips, and finally he has two princes.
The two children were smart, well-behaved and sensible, and looked very much like the emperor when he was a child. Everyone who saw them could not help but praise them.
But who could have imagined that in just a few months, these two princes who were once highly expected would become idiots.
Zhang Chengyan's eyes felt so sore that he finally had to close them slowly.
But when I closed my eyes, the children's voices, smiles and appearances became clearer.
He sat up straight as if awakened from a nightmare, muttering to himself in a hoarse voice, "My sons... my sons are gone. They were so well-behaved, never crying or making trouble like other children. Every time I went to court, they always smiled, but now, they have become idiots."
Wang Decai was upset to see the emperor in such pain. He stepped forward bravely and said carefully, "Your Majesty, there may be a way. How about asking the imperial doctors to think of a way to detoxify him?"
"The doctor said it's useless. They are too young. Even if we try to detoxify them, we can't make them return to the way they were before."
After saying that, he slowly raised his head and looked at the blue sky outside the window, "My heart..."
it hurts!
As an emperor, even if he feels a thousand kinds of pain in his heart, he cannot express it at will.
You should be looked up to by all the people and be a symbol of invincibility. No matter what storms you encounter, you must stand firm!
That is what befits a Saint King!
Wang Decai took small steps forward and added another cushion behind him.
Now that the Emperor is in such pain, how heartbroken must Concubine Zhao be?
But he could only bury these words deep in his heart, not even daring to mention them, for fear that he might say something wrong and anger the emperor.
Zhang Chengyan couldn't relieve the pain in his heart, "Wang Decai, go get the sign!"
In just a moment, the sign arrived.
His eyes slowly swept over the names one by one, but he became more and more silent, and annoyance surged in his heart.
The queen was vicious and cruel, which really chilled his heart.
Concubine De and Concubine Hui had grown old and their looks were no longer the same. They no longer had the passion they once had for him and only treated him perfunctorily.
Concubine Wen had an ugly face, and every time I met her, I always felt a little uncomfortable.
Ding Zhaoyi was even more calculating, and her thoughts were written all over her face, so anyone could see through her at a glance.
…
As he looked at it, Zhang Chengyan suddenly remembered something and frowned, "Wait, why don't I see Jinpin's sign?"
Wang Decai's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he quickly bowed to explain, "Your Majesty, didn't you order Concubine Jin to be confined to her house before? So her nameplate was removed..."
He secretly raised his eyes to glance at the emperor's face, and then said, "Later, the emperor always favored Concubine Zhao alone, so we neglected to add Concubine Jin's name."
Zhang Chengyan was silent for a moment, "Add her. I want to go to Yaoguang Palace to see her."
After saying that, he stood up, straightened his robe, and walked away quickly.
