Chapter 225 If You Fail, You Will Be of No Use
When the imperial physician heard Wen Chuyun's accusation, he immediately refuted, "Madam Wen, I am loyal to the emperor and have never been bribed. You can't slander me just because you don't want to accept the facts."
Seeing this, Bai Wutong coughed lightly at the right time and stepped out to smooth things over. He had a gentle smile on his face, but his words were full of sarcasm. "Sister Wenpin, your words are too serious. The imperial physician is treating you because he is fulfilling his duty and is also considering your health. Imperial physician, in your opinion, will the poison in her body have an impact on the emperor?"
The imperial physician replied respectfully, "To answer Madam Zhao, it will have an effect. When a man and a woman have intercourse, the yin and yang energies in their bodies will exchange with each other. If one party has too much cold in their body, the cold will invade the other party's body, which is very likely to affect the other party's ability to conceive."
"No!" Wen Chuyun was so anxious when she heard this that she jumped up and down, denying it flatly, "Your Majesty, these are all one-sided words from Concubine Zhao. There is really nothing wrong with me. If you don't believe me, call the imperial physician to check my pulse in two days. My pulse will definitely be normal by then."
She had already made up her mind that she would find a suitable candidate within the next two days and cover her entire body with his blood. As long as her pulse returned to normal, the emperor would surely continue to favor her.
Zhang Chengyan was originally very excited, but now he felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on him.
Thinking about the close contact with Wen Chuyun today, it is very likely that the toxins will invade her body. Her face turned a little ugly, and she said impatiently, "Okay, Wenpin, you don't have to say anything more. Take good care of yourself."
Bai Wutong sighed and said in a serious tone, "Sister Wenpin, I know you long for the emperor's favor, but you can't be too impatient. Fortunately, it was discovered early. If it was later, and it caused damage to the emperor's body, you would have committed a serious crime."
Wen Chuyun wanted to argue a few more times, but Zhang Chengyan waved his hand in annoyance, "Everyone, go down."
"Your Majesty..." Wen Chuyun still didn't give up and tried to save the situation.
Wang Decai stepped forward with a smile, bent down to block her view, and said, "Madam Wenpin, I will take you there."
Wen Chuyun gritted his teeth, his face full of reluctance, but he had no choice but to quickly leave the Yangxin Palace and go straight to Fengyi Palace.
As soon as she arrived at Fengyi Palace, she could no longer suppress her anger and started to ask for culpability, "Empress, I haven't even reached the point of using blood yet, why did the imperial physician's pulse diagnosis go wrong?"
The queen slowly put down the teacup and glanced at her. "Who made you so impatient? If you had waited a few more days and used the blood, maybe the pulse would not have been abnormal. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Don't you understand this principle?"
Wen Chuyun wanted to refute, but was speechless for a moment. Thinking about it carefully, he realized that he was indeed too anxious.
"Then, Queen, what do you think I should do now? The Emperor just asked the imperial physician to examine my pulse and he said that there is a strong toxin in my body. The Emperor will definitely not favor me again in the short term. How can I get pregnant with a dragon heir?"
Wen Chuyun is undoubtedly an important card in the Queen's hand.
Now that Concubine Zhao is pregnant again, if no one steps forward to check and balance her, Concubine Zhao's position will become even more stable, which is definitely not what the Queen wants.
"If you could have kept your composure and waited until your pulse was stable before inviting the Emperor to favor you, how could this have happened? You have ruined a good situation like this, and I haven't blamed you yet, but you are questioning me first!"
Wen Chuyun lowered her head quickly after hearing this, "Your Majesty, I am really too anxious..."
"Forget it, forget it. Things have come to this point. Even if I punish you, it will be useless." The Queen sighed softly, her expression slightly relaxed. "How about this, I will give you a chance to redeem yourself. Go do something. If you do it well, today's matter will be forgiven. If you mess it up, you will lose your usefulness. I will try to promote this year's talent show, and then there will naturally be new people to replace you."
Wen Chuyun raised his head suddenly, "Empress, how can you be so cruel! I helped you to assassinate the prince. If it gets out..."
"Shut up!" the Queen suddenly shouted, "Didn't I warn you a long time ago that this matter must be kept to yourself and never mentioned again! This is my Fengyi Palace. If it were somewhere else, the walls would have ears and you would have been dead without a burial place!"
Wen Chuyun was so frightened by the sound that his whole body trembled. He immediately shut his mouth and dared not say another word.
The queen took a sip of tea to moisten her throat. "There are many concubines in the harem, but only a few can really compete with Concubine Zhao. Concubine Jin is one, and the rest are Concubine De and Concubine Hui."
"Empress, these two people usually just like to watch the fun and don't even fight for favor. Would they be willing to get involved in this matter? As for Concubine Jin, I feel that she is the most useless. She has been suppressed by Concubine Zhao countless times. If she didn't have a good brother, she would still be in that corner of the yard and couldn't even see the emperor."
"If you can offer them attractive enough benefits, are you afraid that they won't be tempted?" A trace of determination flashed in the queen's eyes, "Just go ahead and do it. Tell the three of them the same thing. Just say that if they can overthrow Concubine Zhao this time, the prince will be raised by them. My image in the emperor's heart has been damaged, and I am no longer qualified to raise the prince, but the three of them have this opportunity. I don't believe that they can remain unmoved in the face of such temptation!"
Whoever can raise the prince will be able to gain a foothold in the palace.
Not only can one's own position be consolidated, but one can also help one's mother's family prosper. The temptation is enormous.
The Queen looked solemn and reminded again, "Remember, you must say exactly the same thing to everyone. Don't let them know that you have found other people. Do you understand?"
Wen Chuyun nodded hurriedly, "I understand."
"Go ahead." The Queen waved her hand and ordered them to leave. "As long as one of them agrees, I will assist them in the future."
Wen Chuyun retreated, but did not go to find the three people immediately. Instead, he went straight back to Wuyou Palace.
As soon as she entered the palace, she could no longer suppress her anger and started smashing the tables, chairs and furnishings in the palace.
After a long time, she finally vented her anger.
Several palace maids lowered their heads, tiptoed into the hall, and began to clean up the mess on the floor.
Wen Chuyun's gaze swept over them one by one, finally landing on one of the little palace maids.
This little palace maid looked unfamiliar, with a dull expression and an honest demeanor. She was not as smart and clever as the other palace maids.
"When did you come?"
"I...I just came here a few days ago." The little palace maid was frightened by the sudden question, and her voice trembled unconsciously.
"I see. You were sent here by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to fill the gap. How about this? I just happen to be short of someone to serve me. You can stay here for now."
When the little maid heard this, she was overjoyed. She fell to her knees and kowtowed repeatedly, "Thank you for your appreciation, Your Majesty. I will do my best to serve you!"
