Chapter 216 How can you say such things!
Zhang Chengyan's hands trembled slightly with excitement, and his eyes were a little moist.
I thought that the two sons I had been waiting for so long had become idiots, but I didn't expect that they would give me such a big surprise today!
What a fool!
His son, Zhang Chengyan, is clearly a genius!
Yun and Yunxi stopped reciting poems, looked at Zhang Chengyan eagerly, and said in unison, "Father, give me a hug."
"Okay, father will hold them!" Zhang Chengyan held them one in each hand and held them steadily in his arms.
Yunhe stretched out her little hand and pointed at Bai Wutong, saying softly, "Father, I want my mother..."
Seeing this, Bai Wutong immediately stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, let me help you."
According to her position as a concubine, she had no right to hold the prince and walk with the emperor on the red carpet that symbolized nobility.
But Zhang Chengyan was in a very good mood at the moment, and the supervisor was trying his best to persuade him.
"Your Majesty, you don't know that the two princes were able to survive this disaster safely thanks to Concubine Zhao. If it weren't for her timely help in detoxification, accompanying them day and night, and never leaving them, even with the blessing of God, they would not have been able to overcome this hurdle, and there would not have been such a sign of heaven today! It can be said that the purple star of the two princes was almost covered by dark clouds that could never disperse again!"
Zhang Chengyan was filled with emotion and guilt.
Looking back on the past, I realized how neglectful I was to them.
If it weren’t for Bai Wutong, there wouldn’t be this day!
He took the initiative to reach out his hand and held Bai Wutong's hand tightly, his eyes full of tenderness, "Okay, let's go together, Zhaopin, I have wronged you!"
Bai Wutong pretended to be delighted, her eyes reddened, and her voice choked with sobs, "Your Majesty, I have never blamed you!"
She took Yunxi and walked towards the dragon throne with Zhang Chengyan in a graceful manner.
On both sides of the dragon throne, the Queen Mother and the Empress gradually came back to their senses from the shocking spectacle that had just occurred.
The queen tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand and gritted her teeth, barely maintaining a smile on her face.
The so-called miracles and God's mercy are all nonsense!
But she really couldn't understand how these two princes who had been poisoned and turned into idiots recovered?
He can even recite poetry fluently, which is simply against common sense!
Could it be that... they really have great luck?
If this is true, doesn't it mean that they have a bright future ahead of them and may even have the chance to inherit the throne?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, the queen felt a surge of panic in her heart.
No, if they really get up, I’ll be finished!
The Empress Dowager also didn't believe it. So many imperial doctors had asserted that the two princes had become idiots. How could they get better for no reason?
She has been a vegetarian and chanting Buddhist scriptures for so many years, but the Buddha has never appeared once. She doesn't believe in this so-called sign from heaven at all!
There must be something fishy here!
As the empress dowager, she cannot watch the emperor being deceived by a villain. The affairs of the prince are related to the continuation of the royal family and cannot afford any mistakes!
Otherwise, how would she face the late emperor and the ancestors of the Darong Kingdom when she goes to the underworld in the future!
Not to mention that the late emperor sought out countless experts and performed countless rituals in order to prolong his life, but he still died in a woman's belly!
From that day on, the Queen Mother no longer believed that there were gods in this world.
Her so-called vegetarianism and Buddhist chanting are just an act to show off to others, to demonstrate her bodhisattva heart!
"Your Majesty!" The Queen Mother stood up suddenly, her voice shrill, breaking the originally festive atmosphere in the palace, "How can a one-year-old child be so smart? There must be someone teaching him day and night behind the scenes, deliberately creating a false impression! Call the imperial physician in immediately and give the two princes a thorough examination. Don't conclude that they are already healed just because of a few lines of poetry!"
Yun He, who was originally staying in Zhang Chengyan's arms obediently, was frightened by the sudden loud shouting and trembled. His two small hands tightly hugged his neck, "Father, I am afraid."
When Zhang Chengyan raised his head, he could see Yunhe's lively little face. There was cleverness in her eyes and eyebrows. How could she look silly at all?
He once discussed with the imperial physician that ordinary children begin to toddle and learn to speak at the age of one. Mentally retarded children often learn to speak only at the age of seven or eight, and most of them have slurred speech, dull eyes, and slow reactions.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chengyan's expression suddenly darkened, "Mother, don't you hope that your son, the prince, will be smart and be able to support this country in the future?"
"That's not what I meant! It's just that this matter is too bizarre. How could a child who has become an idiot recover?" The Queen Mother's eyes rolled, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind. She instantly pointed the finger at Bai Wutong, "I understand. If they have never been idiots, then Concubine Zhao must have directed and acted in it herself! She planned this big show today!"
"Enough!" Zhang Chengyan was furious. "Mother, what do you mean by this? Could it be that the entire Imperial Hospital has been bribed by Concubine Zhao? No imperial physician dares to tell me the truth? Or was it that what I saw with my own eyes, the two princes being poisoned and unconscious, was all fake?"
At that time, he watched Yun and Yunxi being poisoned with their own eyes. Their little faces turned pale and their breaths were weak. All the doctors in the Imperial Hospital came for consultation and they all came to the same conclusion - dementia caused by poisoning.
Zhaopin was just a concubine. Even if she was the queen, she would never have such extraordinary abilities to bribe everyone and blind the eyes of him, the emperor!
Otherwise, what's the point of him sitting on the throne?
It’s better to give up your position to others as soon as possible!
Bai Wutong raised the handkerchief in her hand and wiped the tears that kept rolling down her eyes. She choked up and said, "Empress Dowager, I have always known that you didn't like me from the beginning. Since the day I entered the palace, you have repeatedly stopped me from being favored by the emperor. Even when Concubine Wen was pregnant, you arbitrarily stopped the supplements I deserved, just because you felt that my belly could not produce an excellent heir. Now that you have witnessed the intelligence of Yun and Yunxi with your own eyes, why do you still make things difficult for me?"
At this point, she burst into tears and could no longer hold back. "Empress Dowager, I beg you to take a good look at Yun and Yunxi. They are such lovely and good children. Why do you have to be so hard on these two young children? They are so smart. Aren't they a blessing to our country, Darong?"
Bai Wutong's words instantly evoked Zhang Chengyan's memory.
All the secret interference and improper handling of matters by the Queen Mother in the harem in the past came to his mind one by one.
If it weren't for her, how could there be constant disputes in the harem and so many incidents happening so frequently!
"Mother, it seems that you are really old and confused!" Zhang Chengyan's voice was cold and frosty, "Come here, send the Queen Mother back to Yongshou Palace and let her recuperate!"
The Queen Mother's face suddenly changed. She held onto the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands, still insisting on her own ideas. "Emperor, everything I have done is for Darong Country and for you! There is something fishy about this matter. Even if they were really poisoned, how could they recover so easily? This is totally unreasonable! Unless... unless they are monsters!"
Bai Wutong's heart skipped a beat.
This old guy really speaks without thinking!
She is not a human, but Yun and Yunxi still have Zhang Chengyan’s human blood flowing in their bodies!
Moreover, ever since she transformed into a human form, she could no longer restore her body as a raccoon slave, let alone practice again. What was the difference between her and a human?
Bai Wutong leaned weakly on Zhang Chengyan, crying bitterly, "Empress Dowager, how can you say such a thing? They are your own grandchildren! It is because of the emperor's sincere prayers that moved the heavens, and because of my companionship day and night, never leaving them, that they are gradually getting better. How can you slander them like this!"
Zhang Chengyan looked at Wang Decai coldly with a sharp gaze.
Wang Decai didn't dare to delay any longer and immediately ordered the guards and palace maids around him to go forward and support the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother was still struggling desperately, shouting, "There is something fishy about this matter, Emperor, you can't be fooled by Concubine Zhao! I have been a vegetarian and chanted Buddhist scriptures all my life, but I have never seen a Buddha. There is no God in this world, otherwise your father..."
The maid quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
In full view of everyone, the empress dowager was forcibly dragged away, and her figure gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor outside the palace.
The ministers and concubines in the palace were so frightened that they dared not breathe. Everyone lowered their heads and held their breath.
After today, the Queen Mother's status will probably plummet and be completely over.
Although he was imprisoned before, at least he still had some dignity.
But after this time, I'm afraid even living a peaceful life will become a luxury!
