Chapter 23 The murderer turned out to be her!
Bai Wutong had just moved into Xueqiongyuan, and had not lived there for a few nights when he was called to the female doctor.
She knew that it was the Queen Mother's doing again, but now she had no ability to compete with her, nor could she think of a good solution, so she could only leave it to the Emperor.
In a few days, on the first day of the new year, she must give the emperor another strong dose of medicine.
Make the other party favor you even if he is afraid of the Queen Mother!
Early October.
The weather turned cold, with a slight chill in the wind.
Bai Wutong took advantage of his previous illness to come to the Queen's Palace on the first day of the new year.
Fengyi Palace is luxurious but dark.
The medicinal fragrance seems to have permeated every place and lingers all year round.
Bai Wutong wore a long dress that showed off her curves. She walked into the palace with her head lowered and knelt down to salute, "Greetings, Queen."
The palace was silent.
After a long time, a voice finally came from the front, "Get up."
"Thank you, Queen."
Bai Wutong was just a little beauty. When she entered the Fengyi Palace, she didn't even have a place to sit and could only stand.
She raised her head slightly, but couldn't lift it all the way up. "I came here specially to thank the Queen. Thank you for your consideration. I can now sleep peacefully."
The queen looked tired and pale, and although she was plump, she looked very weak. "Today is the first day of the new year. Lady Bai really picked a good time. Please take a seat."
"Thank you, Queen."
Most of the concubines in the palace were fat, so the chairs were specially made much bigger. Bai Wutong only sat on half of the chair. "Your Majesty, I have wanted to come here for a long time. I live with Concubine Gao. Although we don't have a good relationship, I still feel it's a pity."
The queen covered her lips and coughed softly, "It's a pity indeed. Lady Gao looked the most pregnant."
Her eyes moved from top to bottom, and finally landed on Bai Wutong's chest. "Ms. Bai, how do you feel living in Xueqiong Garden?"
"It couldn't be better. I have to thank the emperor for this. Otherwise, I would still have to live in here and be unable to sleep every night."
Suddenly, a violent coughing sound was heard.
The queen covered her chest in agony.
A maid rushed out from the inner room and handed over a pill, "Your Highness, please take it quickly."
She turned around and glared at Bai Wutong, as if everything was her fault.
Bai Wutong looked at her steadily.
These eyes and brows are so familiar!
Isn’t this the person who took Miss Gao’s life that night!
No wonder there was a lingering scent of medicine on her body. I'm afraid every palace maid in the entire Fengyi Palace was the same.
Although other concubines would also take fertility-enhancing drugs, none of them were as radical as the queen, who actually took drugs to the point of causing her body to be in this state.
Bai Wutong could even smell the rotten scent on her, the same as this Fengyi Palace.
The Queen was unwell and handed over the management of the harem to Jin Weige. Coupled with the rumors from outside, she really thought that the Queen would not be like Jin Weige, if not completely indifferent to the world.
Unexpectedly, she was the real culprit who killed Lady Gao!
Bai Wutong also understood what Concubine Xu said before her death.
It seems that she was careless today. She wanted to use the Queen to meet the Emperor and seduce him.
I didn't expect that the queen was also a poisonous snake lurking in the dark. My actions might cause some trouble, but it's too late to regret now.
The maid's joyful voice came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is here!"
The queen finally stopped coughing and looked up at the sun outside. "It's so early, and the emperor is here."
After she finished speaking, her eyes fell on Bai Wutong, "Bai Mei, you are really my lucky star. The emperor has never come so early before."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Chengyan stepped into the palace and saw someone who didn't fit in here.
Bai Wutong looks particularly pretty today, especially her small waist. Looking at her bulging chest, it seems to be much bigger than the queen's. I wonder what the scenery is like here.
Zhang Chengyan only took a glance, then retracted his gaze and sat down next to the queen. "I heard yesterday that you were not feeling well, so I asked the imperial physician to prescribe medicine, so I came here early today. Do you feel better?"
The queen was touched. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I feel much better. Lady Bai also came to talk to me, which helped me kill a lot of time."
"Oh? What are you talking about?"
The queen sighed, "Speaking of Lady Gao, what a pity. Lady Bai, don't you agree?"
Bai Wutong could only agree, "Yes, I think so too..."
"Your Majesty, although there are occasional fights in the harem, no one has ever been killed. Rong Fei has been with Your Majesty for many years, but if you treat her so lightly, the harem will probably be in chaos." The Queen gently held Zhang Chengyan's hand, "Your Majesty, I beg you to punish her severely."
Zhang Chengyan had a blank expression on his face, and his deep eyes made it impossible to discern his thoughts.
Although he is a young emperor, he is already shrewd.
"The matter of Lady Gao is over. I have said that it should not be mentioned again."
Bai Wutong saw the irritation between his brows and immediately stood up, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I feel unwell suddenly, so I will take my leave first."
The queen looked at her and thought to herself, it's good that this beautiful lady Bai is sensible. Although she is pretty, her figure is not good. It seems that she can't seduce the emperor, so she came to her palace on the first day of the new year. It's so obvious that he is a brainless person, there's no need to worry about him.
"Go, sister. Since you are not feeling well, take care of yourself."
"Thank you, Queen."
Zhang Chengyan looked at her.
Bai Wutong twisted her waist, slowed down her pace, and moved out of Fengyi Palace step by step.
The queen coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, since you don't want to mention it, then forget it. I asked someone to make some jasmine tea for you to try."
Zhang Chengyan was already irritable, and the place was filled with the smell of medicine, so he had no mood to drink tea. He only took a sip and put down the teacup, "Since you are fine, I will go back first and come back in the evening."
"Then I will wait for the emperor."
There is a garden outside Fengyi Palace.
The palace ladies repaired it every day, and the scenery was very beautiful.
Even now that autumn has arrived, flowers are still in full bloom.
Zhang Chengyan followed the scent and walked forward. In the end, he only saw Eunuch Wang. "Why is it you?"
Wang Decai showed what he had in his hand, "Your Majesty, Lady Bai asked me to give this to you. From what I see, it was probably embroidered by a lantern."
It was a purse with a light and elegant fragrance, which was surprisingly suitable for his identity as a man.
"Not bad." Zhang Chengyan accepted it, and when he thought of her small waist, he felt a surge of anger rising to his head.
I think he hasn't set foot in the harem for such a long time, and he is young and energetic, so he finally got angry.
Wang Decai followed him closely, "Your Majesty, Concubine Rong has sent someone again."
Zhang Chengyan was feeling upset. In recent days, Jin Weige sent people over every day, trying every way to protest his injustice.
I have already handled it with care, but she is still so ignorant!
"Your Majesty, I heard that Concubine Rong couldn't eat or sleep at night... Should we find a female doctor?"
"Oh? So serious?" Although Zhang Chengyan was annoyed, he felt distressed. "Forget it, I'll go take a look."
