Chapter 234: I am not as good as the Emperor
Bai Wutong was indeed carrying twins, a boy and a girl, in her belly.
A man and a woman.
The emperor already has a son, and now it’s time for him to welcome a caring little daughter.
She hoped that her daughter would be more like her.
In this way, he took the positions of both the crown prince and the eldest princess.
Even if Wen Chuyun or other concubines become pregnant in the future, they can only rank behind her in position.
"You are right. Someone is indeed behind this. I have noticed it a long time ago. There is no sign of the disease anywhere else, but it has suddenly become prevalent in the capital. Moreover, there are usually reasons for the outbreak of diseases, such as various natural disasters, but everything is fine in the capital. This disease can only be caused by humans. I have sent people to investigate, but there is still no clue. The other party is very secretive."
"Your Majesty, I am worried that as long as the child in my belly is still there, there will be no peace outside. Since someone is deliberately planning this, they will definitely not let you quell the epidemic smoothly, and will continue to instigate the people in the city to cause trouble."
Bai Wutong frowned slightly, his eyes full of worry, "This will make it difficult for Your Majesty."
"It's not difficult. This is my responsibility as an emperor." Zhang Chengyan gently held Bai Wutong's hand. "You just need to take care of your pregnancy and don't let these worries affect you."
After saying this, his eyebrows suddenly showed a layer of frost, and his tone was icy and piercing, "You want to use this method to force me, you'd better not let me find out who is behind this, otherwise I will definitely kill all his nine clans and make him pay a heavy price for his actions!"
"Your Majesty, please don't get angry. It will hurt your body." Bai Wutong held his hand with a distressed look, gently leaned her head on his solid chest, and gently advised, "The person behind this must be so reckless, he must be in a high position and powerful, and definitely not an ordinary minister. Besides, I am pregnant, which should be a great joy for the court, but someone is staring at my belly and making a fuss. Unless... they have a daughter in the harem, they will regard me as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh."
Bai Wutong raised her little face and looked at Zhang Chengyan with clear eyes. "Anyone who meets these two criteria and has such courage must be a serious suspect. Your Majesty might as well start the investigation from these people, and I believe you will be able to find out the mastermind behind the scenes. Your Majesty, I see that you are worried all day long, and I really feel sorry for you, so I want to share your worries and solve your problems. Please don't think that I am talking too much."
"Of course not." Zhang Chengyan looked at her playful and cute appearance and couldn't help but chuckled, "I am not such a narrow-minded person. Your thoughts coincide with mine. It seems that Yun and Yunxi are extremely smart. They not only inherited my intelligence, but also your intelligence."
"How can I be as wise and brave as your Majesty? Your Majesty is busy with all kinds of affairs every day, and he can still see through everything while handling so many complicated matters. I just came up with these things when I was free." Bai Wutong raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with curved eyebrows.
The two of them stayed together for a while before separating.
Bai Wutong returned to Tishun Hall, but he still felt a little doubtful in his heart, as he always felt that there was something unspeakably strange about this matter.
She picked up a sour apricot, took a bite, turned around and asked Yingchun beside her, "Yingchun, what do you think the person behind this is trying to do? The emperor will handle the epidemic properly. Even if the people are suffering from illness and are causing trouble, can they really rush into the palace?"
Yingchun didn't even think about it and answered crisply, "Of course that's impossible. Even if they were all gathered together, they would definitely not be a match for the palace guards."
"Yes, so it is really puzzling. What exactly does he want to do? I am pregnant with the heir to the throne. If there were many heirs in the palace, it would be fine. But now there are only Yun and their two children. How could the emperor be so cruel as to abort the child in my belly just because of those unfounded rumors outside?"
Anyone can see that there is something fishy about this matter.
Although the emperor is cold-hearted when it comes to matters of love between men and women, he is by no means a fool. How could he not understand such a simple truth?
If he really believed those rumors so easily, the Darong Kingdom would have lost its current prosperity long ago.
Yingchun frowned, "Yes, I also think this is strange, but I am really stupid, and I can't explain it after thinking about it."
Since I can’t think of it, just don’t think about it.
Bai Wutong put down the sour apricots and ordered, "Go, get some paper and pen. I want to write a prescription."
In the past, my father once saved a traveling doctor. By chance, he learned many precious prescriptions from the doctor, including one for treating epidemic diseases.
Although she was not sure whether this prescription could cure the epidemic that was raging in the capital, she still decided to give it a try.
After finishing the recipe, Bai Wutong blew the ink dry and said, "Please ask Sister Chunrou to come."
Not long after, Duan Chunrou came and called out in a tender voice, "Sister."
Duan Chunrou was recently promoted to concubine, and her life has become much better. Not only has her status in the palace been improved, but the regulations on food, clothing, servants, etc. have also been improved by more than one level.
"Sister Chunrou, I have a prescription here." Bai Wutong handed her the written prescription. "Take it out and ask your father to find a few patients infected with the plague to try it out. If this prescription is really effective, remember to come back and tell me in time."
"Okay, it's just a small matter. I'll send someone to deliver the things right away." Duan Chunrou took the prescription and agreed.
Although the palace gate was closed, people could not enter but could leave.
At that time, she would send a trusted servant out, and when the work was done, he would stay at home, and nothing would go wrong.
Duan Chunrou's eyes fell on Bai Wutong's slightly bulging belly, her eyes full of envy, "Sister, look at your radiant complexion, the baby didn't cause you any trouble, did it?"
"No." Bai Wutong smiled and asked softly, "Do you also want to conceive a dragon fetus?"
"Sister, to be honest, which woman in the harem doesn't want to have one?" Duan Chunrou said frankly, and then hurriedly added, "Sister, don't worry, even if I really get pregnant in the future, I will definitely not compete with you for anything."
Bai Wutong heard this and handed over a sour apricot. "Being pregnant is not as simple as others imagine. Look at me. Nothing I eat tastes good now. And it is said that giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman."
She has a special physique, so her life will not be in danger during pregnancy and childbirth, but Duan Chunrou is just an ordinary woman, so the situation is very different.
If those evil-minded people outside were to use some tricks in secret, she would most likely meet with an accident and end up with a tragic outcome of two deaths.
Duan Chunrou had no idea what Bai Wutong was thinking. She took a bite of the sour apricot and immediately frowned, "This... this is too sour!"
