Chapter 231 Sir, it’s done
Without notifying anyone, Bai Wutong stepped into the Yangxin Palace.
She walked straight towards Zhang Chengyan with light steps and graceful posture.
Seeing her coming, Zhang Chengyan smiled and opened his arms, "Come and sit down."
Bai Wutong leaned into his arms and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, I heard that the imperial physician came, are you ill?"
Zhang Chengyan was slightly startled, and explained calmly, "No, I just asked the imperial physician to check my pulse."
Sun pulse?
How could she not know when the emperor developed the habit of taking the emperor's pulse every day? It was obvious that he was using this to evade her. This matter must be related to Wen Chuyun.
If Zhang Chengyan had told the truth, Bai Wutong would not have had groundless suspicions.
But his attempt to hide things only made them more obvious, which made Bai Wutong certain that he must be hiding a secret.
Perhaps... Wen Chuyun's body has recovered, and the emperor is thinking about how to favor her, otherwise there would be no need to cover it up like this.
Although Bai Wutong's mind was full of thoughts, she pretended not to know and said with a sweet smile, "If Your Majesty feels uncomfortable anywhere, please let me know. I can give you a good massage to relieve you."
"Well, you are thoughtful. I feel fine now. I still have to review the memorials. You should go back and take care of Yun and Yunxi first. Don't overwork yourself. You are pregnant now, so you should focus on protecting the fetus."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I understand." Bai Wutong smiled, slowly stood up and left the Yangxin Palace.
As soon as she stepped out of the palace, the smile on her face disappeared without a trace.
How did Wen Chuyun recover?
…
Capital city.
This year's New Year's Eve comes especially late.
As we approach the beginning of February, spring is just around the corner, and New Year's Eve is finally approaching.
The streets and alleys are crowded with people and very lively.
The streets are lined with stalls selling a wide variety of New Year goods.
A young man with shifty eyes sneaked into a restaurant.
As soon as he sat down, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket, first wiped the table carefully, and then wiped the dishes in front of him.
Seeing this, the waiter thought he was a clean person, and quickly and enthusiastically picked up the rag on his shoulder and wanted to help, "Sir, I'll do it."
"Stop!" The man suddenly called him, his voice sharp, "I can do it myself. Give me a plate of braised beef in soy sauce and a pot of Huadiao wine."
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment!"
A moment later, the waiter came to the table with a tray, "Sir, your dishes are ready."
The man threw down a few copper coins and said, "Go ahead, don't worry about me."
The waiter took the tip and left happily.
The man did not touch the plate of braised beef. Instead, he wrapped the beef with the towel he had just used to wipe the dishes.
He slowly finished a pot of wine, then stood up and walked out of the restaurant.
On the street, a beggar was huddled in a corner, shivering.
The man walked forward and handed over a piece of braised beef.
"Thank you, sir! You are such a kind person!" The beggar was flattered and quickly took the beef, bursting into tears of gratitude.
The man curled his lips, said nothing, turned around and continued walking forward.
Not long after he walked, a few children ran past him, laughing and playing.
"Hey, wait." The man stopped them and took out the braised beef again. "Here, you guys can eat."
The children were wearing plain linen clothes, and it was obvious that they came from poor families. On a normal day, they ate very little pork or chicken, let alone beef.
Their eyes lit up instantly, "Thank you, uncle!"
After watching the children wolf down the beef, the man turned around and left with satisfaction.
He turned into an alley, stopped, and whistled softly.
"Is it done?" A deep voice came from the corner.
The man was very proud, "It's done. I used the handkerchief stained with the sick man's saliva to wrap braised beef, gave it to beggars and children, and also used it to wipe the dishes in the restaurant."
"Okay, go now. Keep this matter to yourself. Otherwise, if the government finds out, you will be in trouble!" The voice sounded again, full of threat.
A silver ingot flew out from the corner.
The man's eyes lit up, and he quickly picked it up with a smile and stuffed it into his arms. "Don't worry, I won't tell you anything. It's just that medicine..."
"Don't worry, this is not a serious illness. No medicine is needed. It will be fine in two days."
This is an epidemic.
Ordinary medicines are of no help at all.
It's just as well that he died, so no one would know about this.
"Okay, then I'm relieved. If something good like this happens again, don't forget to look for me, sir."
The middle-aged man was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned to walk into the courtyard next door.
As soon as he entered the yard, he immediately picked up the mugwort and carefully fumigated his body to make sure that it was not contaminated by anything unclean.
He walked quickly to the door of the room and bowed, "Sir, it's done."
A familiar voice came, "Well, well done, go ahead."
Inside the house, Zhou Changqing picked up the teacup and said, "It's time for the capital to get lively again. Otherwise, it won't be a good thing if it continues like this!"
We cannot let the emperor become too proud, otherwise if he continues to centralize power, there will be no place for the Zhou family in the court.
They will only be of use when the emperor is in trouble!
Doesn’t the emperor want to get rid of the donkey after it has served its purpose?
We have to see if he has the ability!
If the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion collapses, then if something goes wrong, the emperor will have fewer people to use.
His Zhou family must make great contributions in this event!
By the way, get rid of Concubine Zhao!
