Chapter 210 You are the emperor, once you say something, it is irreversible
"Your Majesty, look at her!" Jin Weige was so angry that he was shaking all over and his face turned pale and blue.
Bai Wutong stood up slowly and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude. I dare not eat something sent by others. Ever since Yun and Yunxi were poisoned by the bad guys, I have completely witnessed the viciousness of people in the deep palace. If I am not more careful, I might be the one to be poisoned one day!"
Zhang Chengyan's brows were knitted tightly, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly, "Zhaopin, stop it! I know you are angry, but you shouldn't be so presumptuous and rude in front of me!"
"Your Majesty, how can I not be rude?" Bai Wutong not only did not retreat at all, but straightened her back, looked directly at him without fear, and her voice suddenly rose, "After Yun and Yunxi got into trouble, did you ever step into Zhaochun Palace to visit them? When you heard the bad news that they had become idiots, you didn't even stay for a moment, and turned around and left. The wet nurse didn't go to check thoroughly, the imperial physician didn't treat them carefully, and you even ignored the remaining poison in the children's bodies! I once naively thought that Your Majesty was a wise ruler, a unique man in the world who cared about the people and was affectionate and righteous."
"But after this incident, I finally understood that Your Majesty is just an ordinary mortal, unable to escape the bondage of anger, stupidity, joy and anger. The children you placed high hopes on turned out to be idiots, and you abandoned them so heartlessly! You knew clearly in your heart that I would never hurt my own flesh and blood, but you still vented all your anger on me..."
“Enough!” Zhang Chengyan stood up suddenly, his face full of dark clouds, and shouted angrily, “Shut up! It’s obviously because you didn’t take good care of them. If not, how could Yun and Yunxi have encountered such a change!”
"Then Your Majesty, can you take care of them?" Bai Wutong said without hesitation, "If Your Majesty is really capable of protecting them, why would I have to do everything myself and not even dare to ask others to take care of the children!"
The concubines around were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they dared not even breathe.
The Imperial Garden fell into deathly silence in an instant.
Even Concubine De and Concubine Hui, who usually loved to watch the fun, lost interest at this moment.
This Concubine Zhao must have been really blinded by anger. She was so bold as to dare to contradict the Emperor like this!
Aren't the words just now implicitly accusing the emperor of being incompetent and unable to protect even his own flesh and blood?
This is a big taboo!
"You are really crazy!" Zhang Chengyan looked at Bai Wutong. The tenderness and admiration in his eyes had long since disappeared. This woman is clearly a mad woman. "How dare you say such treasonous words to me! Come, drag her out for me! Send her back to Zhaochun Palace and continue to confine her to house arrest. Without my order, you are not allowed to step out of the palace!"
Jin Weige next to him couldn't help but smile.
This Zhaopin is really stupid and has no brains at all.
How dare you speak to the emperor like this? Now you have completely offended the emperor!
Originally, she was a little afraid of Bai Wutong, worried that she would continue to be her rival for favor in the harem.
Now it seems that she is no longer a threat and is not even qualified to compete with me.
"Your Majesty, I am really crazy! My twin sons, whom I carried for ten months with great difficulty, were poisoned by a villain and became like this. But what about you, Your Majesty? You just ignored them! Such a long time has passed, Your Majesty, have you caught the murderer who hurt them?"
Bai Wutong was so emotional that tears welled up in her eyes. Her originally resentful face now looked so pitiful that anyone who saw it would feel pity for her. "Your Majesty, who can understand the pain in my heart? I can't sleep well every day and night, and I can't taste my food. I hope that the terrible experience that day was just a nightmare. As long as I open my eyes, I can see that Yun and Yunxi are still as lively and lovely as before, safe and sound."
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten everything? You used to stay by Yun and Yunxi's cradles every day, and read poems to them tenderly. You looked forward to their birth with all your heart. In the hunting ground, you held them in your arms and showed them to everyone! We also carefully selected small clothes and swaddling clothes for them together! Now, just because they have become idiots, are you going to forget all the good things that happened and treat them as if they never happened?"
As Bai Wutong spoke with tears in his eyes, the memories that Zhang Chengyan had deliberately buried emerged in his mind like a tide.
Those heartwarming pictures were all about the moments he spent with Yun and Yunxi.
At that time, every day after he came to court, the only thing in his mind was to go and see his two children as soon as possible.
Their every frown and smile could make him forget the fatigue of the court.
Zhang Chengyan's voice was hoarse and choked with sobs, "How could I forget! But tell me, what can I do now? You are upset, so how can I not be upset too!"
"Your Majesty, if Yun and Yunxi were still the same as before, what would you do?"
Bai Wutong stared at Zhang Chengyan closely. Everything she had done before, the fierce questioning and the affectionate recollections, were all paving the way for this moment.
She wanted the emperor to make a promise in person, so that he could stick to his word!
"If Yunhe and Yunxi are still well, I will love them as always! As Yunhe is my eldest son, I will definitely make him the crown prince. As long as he is good enough, I will make him the future ruler of this world!"
But what’s the point of saying all this now?
The cruel reality is before their eyes. Yun and Yunxi have suffered severe trauma and there is no possibility of recovery!
Bai Wutong smiled sadly, helpless and desolate, and whispered softly, "It seems that the emperor still has them in his heart. Knowing this is enough. I was too out of control just now and offended you. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Her eyes were gentle as water, but they also revealed a piercing pain, just like a lily that was swaying in the wind and rain and could wither at any time, which made people pity her. "The reason why I was so offensive and inappropriate before was because I was confused for a moment and mistakenly thought that the emperor no longer had any father-son feelings for Yun and Yunxi. Now I understand that the love in the emperor's heart has never disappeared. Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven. Once you say something, you can't take it back. I believe you!"
