Chapter 204 But...but it’s not good?
Bai Wutong said this and turned to leave.
Lin Sheng looked in the direction she left, his brows furrowed, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
He didn't look away until the slender figure completely disappeared. He walked up to the young eunuch, looked down at him with cold eyes, and said, "The emperor will not spare your head. If you dare to disrespect the prince, you'd better pray that your family will not be implicated."
"Master Lin, I was wrong! I was really wrong. Please have mercy on me and let me go!" The little eunuch was so scared that he rolled and crawled to Lin Sheng's feet, kowtowing continuously.
Lin Sheng, however, remained unmoved and looked indifferent.
He called someone over at random and ordered in a cold voice, "Tell the steward to think carefully about what to do and what not to do. Don't think that everything will be fine if you push a small minion out as a scapegoat. What he should do is to manage his own little piece of land and not become someone else's running dog without knowing what's going on. Everyone in this palace should put the emperor first!"
After saying that, he left quickly and went to the Yangxin Palace to report.
Lin Sheng stood in front of Zhang Chengyan and reported everything that happened in the imperial kitchen. "Your Majesty, this is what happened in the imperial kitchen."
When mentioning Bai Wutong, he paused slightly and skillfully beautified those sharp and fierce words, focusing on describing her grievances and helplessness as a mother rather than her aggressive attitude.
Zhang Chengyan leaned on the dragon chair, supporting his head with one hand, looking exhausted, "Go, send two wet nurses over, this matter cannot be delayed any longer."
He was indeed wrong in doing this.
Before this, he was immersed in the great grief over the stupidity of the two princes, and for a moment he neglected to even find a new wet nurse for the children.
Bai Wutong is still under house arrest and his movements are restricted. The only person he can rely on every day is a servant who goes out to fetch him meals.
This rule of house arrest was passed down from the time of the previous emperor.
In the past, concubines who were under house arrest would have meals delivered to their residences by palace servants.
But who could have imagined that a concubine was confined to the palace and then bullied by the palace maids, and eventually died unjustly.
The maid was guilty as a thief and dared not speak out. She also lied to the eunuch who came to deliver food. In this way, she concealed her crime and no one noticed for several months.
It was not until the late emperor by chance remembered this concubine and went to her palace in person that he discovered her corpse which had long since rotted away and was no longer human.
This tragedy left an indelible psychological trauma on the late emperor, so he changed the house arrest rule.
Zhang Chengyan's face was gloomy. "Pass on my order and inform the imperial kitchen that all the food and supplies that Zhaochun Palace deserves must not be lacking at all. If anyone dares to be so presumptuous as today again, I will punish him severely! As for that blind eunuch, behead him immediately to serve as a warning to others! Humph, even if my son is stupid, he is still a prince of a royal family. They are so bold that they don't take the royal dignity seriously at all!"
"Yes, I will obey your order and do it right away." Lin Sheng accepted the order and retreated respectfully.
Not long after Bai Wutong returned to Zhaochun Palace, the eunuch in charge of the imperial kitchen came hurriedly, carrying breakfast in his hands.
Every dish in the food box was steaming hot, and it looked like it was freshly cooked.
Lin Sheng also came with them.
Behind him followed two kind-looking, neatly dressed wet nurses.
The eunuch in charge had a flattering smile on his face and nodded, "Madam Zhaopin, I am so sorry! I was out today for something and was not in the imperial kitchen. I never thought that the bastard would dare to be so bold and disrespectful to the madam. He deserves to die! I have severely reprimanded everyone in the imperial kitchen and told them not to neglect the madam in the future, otherwise I will not let him off easily!"
"Yeah." Bai Wutong looked cold, without even raising his eyelids. He didn't look good to him, but he didn't make things difficult for him. He just said calmly, "Put the things there, and you can get out."
"Okay, I'll take my leave!" The eunuch in charge was as if he had been pardoned. He quickly withdrew and left Zhaochun Palace swiftly.
After everyone left, Lin Sheng stepped forward and called the two nurses to him. "These two were carefully selected by the emperor himself. They are both experienced and reliable people."
Upon hearing this, the two nurses immediately knelt down, performed a standard ceremony, and said in unison, "This servant greets Her Majesty Zhaopin. May Her Majesty be in good health."
"Well, get up, and you can go too." Bai Wutong said in a flat tone and ordered them to leave.
Lin Sheng was slightly startled, and after hesitating for a moment, he could not help but say, "Madam Zhaopin, the emperor has been grieving over the affairs of the two little princes these past two days, and he couldn't sleep all night long..."
Grief?
Has he ever visited Yun and Yunxi these days?
He spent every day in Yaoguang Palace having fun with Concubine Jin, singing and dancing every night, and even said that he was feeling depressed and wanted to vent through this.
After all, it's just that they don't really care about the children.
"Master Lin, there is no need to say more. I know what is going on."
"Then...I'll take my leave!" Lin Sheng had no choice but to turn around and leave.
Walking on the road, Lin Sheng's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the first time he met Bai Wutong.
At that time, she was clean and pure, with a pretty face, a slender figure, and agility in her every move. She gave people the feeling of a docile and lovely cat, exuding the simplicity and beauty of being untouched by the world.
But now, in just a short period of time, she seems like a different person.
The former gentleness and fragility are no longer there, replaced by edges and sharpness.
Lin Sheng couldn't help but sigh, feeling a thousand emotions in his heart, "Sure enough, this harem is a place where people are eaten. No matter how pure a person is, once they enter, they will inevitably be tortured beyond recognition."
Bai Wutong didn't care about the looks and comments of others. After quickly finishing his meal, he started treatment again.
She carefully picked up the medicine bowl and fed each of the two children a sip of the medicine soup again.
This time, the amount of black blood that flowed out was obviously much less.
In order to prevent the poisoning from lasting too long and leaving serious sequelae.
Relying on her knowledge of pharmacology, she specially formulated a new drug that can suppress toxicity in the body to the greatest extent and buy time for complete detoxification.
Unlike yesterday, Yun and Yunxi did not cry this time.
There were even innocent smiles on their little faces when they felt the blood coming out of their noses.
Bai Wutong saw this scene, her eyes slightly reddened with heartache, but she still held back her tears, raised the corners of her mouth, and gently helped them wipe the blood, "It's better to smile. Mother sees that you are much better than before. Just hold on, and you will be better soon."
Bai Wutong is not proficient in medicine and cannot take pulses, so he cannot accurately judge the specific conditions of Yun and Yunxi.
After much thought, she decided to ask Doctor Ji to come and take a closer look.
Only after a professional doctor's diagnosis could she feel at ease and adjust the subsequent detoxification prescription.
Half an hour later.
Doctor Ji hurried to Zhaochun Palace carrying a medicine box.
Stepping into the palace, he bowed and saluted, "I greet Her Majesty Zhaopin, may Your Majesty be well."
"Doctor Ji, there's no need to be so polite. Please help take a look at the children. How are they doing now? Are they better than before?"
As soon as Doctor Ji walked in, he keenly smelled the faint aroma of medicine in the air.
He immediately understood that Bai Wutong might have used medicine on his own to treat the little princes.
He was a little worried, fearing that improper use of the medication would worsen his condition, but he remained calm and showed no sign of it.
He gently placed his hand on Yunhe's wrist and began to take her pulse carefully.
The next second, his face changed suddenly and he immediately switched to Yunxi for diagnosis.
Bai Wutong's heart was instantly lifted, "But...but is it not good?"
"No, congratulations, your Majesty, the two princes are much better!"
