Chapter 246 The Imperial Concubine is Special
"Your Majesty, it's not..." Jin Weige wanted to explain, but no one paid any attention to him.
After receiving the order, Yunxiang and others immediately stepped forward and dragged Jin Weige out of Tishun Hall.
"Empress Jin, please stop making trouble, okay?"
Jin Weige was still staring at Zhang Chengyan's tall back.
Bai Wutong's arms were tightly around Zhang Chengyan's neck, and her whole body was nestled in his arms.
The moment he approached, Bai Wutong tilted his head slightly, revealing one eye with undisguised disdain in it.
Jin Weige's grief and anger reached its peak and she burst into tears.
At the same time, Xiyue, who had just saved her life, was awakened by the noise. She wanted to speak, but Yingchun was quick-witted and pretended to apply medicine, but accidentally touched her wound.
Yingchun smiled wryly, "Sister Xiyue, I'm sorry, I was just frightened by the noise outside."
"ah!"
Xiyue let out a shrill scream.
Jin Weige's heart was broken when she heard this familiar voice. She struggled frantically again, "Let me go. Xiyue is in there. Let Xiyue out!"
"Madam Concubine Jin, the emperor has ordered you to return to Yaoguang Palace. Please don't make things difficult for us servants."
The maids held Jin Weige tightly, with beads of sweat on their foreheads, for fear that this young lady would cause trouble again.
"Tell Concubine Zhao that if anything happens to Xiyue, I will never forgive her!"
Jin Weige's eyes were red and her hair was messy. She didn't look like a favored concubine at all.
She gave up struggling and just stared in the direction of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Zhang Chengyan carefully put Bai Wutong down, his eyes full of concern, "Are you not scared? Come here, Imperial Physician Xuanji!"
"Your Majesty, I'm fine." Bai Wutong's eyes were slightly red, and she looked a little pitiful. She rubbed his arm distressedly, "You carried me for such a long distance, you must be exhausted."
"Not tired. As long as you and the child are safe, everything I do is worth it." Zhang Chengyan gently raised his hand, wiped the remaining tears on Bai Wutong's face, and patiently explained, "I really can't punish Concubine Jin now. Jin Zhi almost died of illness before, and now he shoulders the heavy responsibility of the safety of the capital. If I deal with Concubine Jin at this time, I'm afraid it will chill Jin Zhi's heart."
Bai Wutong sneered in his heart, but he was not afraid of hurting his own heart.
Although I had expected this, I still felt a little bitter when I heard him defending the Jin family.
However, she also understood that even if she took out the life-saving prescription, in Zhang Chengyan's heart, she was still not as powerful as Jin Zhi, a senior official of the court.
"Your Majesty, I understand everything. I will not be angry no matter what decision you make." Ever since the last time Yun and Yunxi got into trouble, Bai Wutong had completely seen through Zhang Chengyan's coldness and no longer had too many expectations of him.
But if there is an opportunity that can be exploited, she will never let it go easily.
Now that the emperor cannot punish Jin Weige, he should at least give himself some compensation, right?
Seeing Bai Wutong looking so aggrieved but always thinking of him, Zhang Chengyan felt pity for her and immediately made a promise, "I will order someone to announce the fact that you have given me the prescription today! Then, who dares to say that the dragon heir in your belly is a disaster!"
"When you have accomplished such great deeds and won the love of the people, I will make you a noble concubine. What do you think?"
Imperial Concubine?
Isn’t that the highest position that Jin Weige held before?
Bai Wutong smiled shyly, "Your Majesty, if I can get the position of Imperial Concubine, I will be happy. It's not because this position is higher than that of a concubine, but people say that although the Queen is the mother of the country, only the Imperial Concubine is the most beloved and special one for the Emperor."
Zhang Chengyan nodded after hearing this. "That's true. The appointment of a queen is mostly based on factors such as family background, rather than simple feelings. But the Imperial Concubine is the highest honor that the emperors of all dynasties can give to their favorite concubines, representing endless love."
The highest position?
Bai Wutong lowered her eyes slightly, and her long eyelashes concealed the sharpness in her eyes.
In her heart, what she really desires is the throne of the queen, the master of the harem!
However, Bai Wutong knew clearly that everything must be done step by step, and one must eat one bite at a time, and one cannot eat hot tofu in a hurry.
Becoming the queen is not something that can be achieved overnight.
Look at the current queen. She is not only infertile, but also a sickly and weak woman. Recently, she has been embroiled in scandals.
But even so, she still sat firmly on the throne of queen, and her status was not shaken at all.
Once a queen is enthroned, she will not be easily deposed unless she has committed a proven and serious fault.
Bai Wutong knew very well that the chips in his hand were far from enough and he needed to accumulate them bit by bit and plan step by step.
Zhang Chengyan was overwhelmed by the epidemic, so Bai Wutong asked Doctor Ji to carefully check his pulse. After confirming that the dragon fetus in her belly was safe and sound, he returned to Tishun Hall.
As soon as she returned to Tishun Hall, she called Yingchunchaner, Yunxiang and Xiaoningzi.
These four people have followed her for a long time and are currently her most trusted confidants.
"You have been in the palace for such a long time," Bai Wutong said slowly, looking at everyone with a gentle gaze, "Have you made some good and trustworthy friends? If so, you can call them to work in our Zhaochun Palace."
Chan Er is no longer a sullen person, she is very lively and was the first to come forward, "Madam, I know a few palace maids, they are all very nice, but now they all have their own masters."
"It doesn't matter if you have an owner." Bai Wutong smiled slightly, "Who doesn't want to move up in this palace? As long as you are willing to work for me, I will not treat you unfairly. You will get benefits and opportunities for promotion."
Having said this, Yunxiang and the others immediately understood what he meant.
Yunxiang's voice unconsciously rose a few notes, "Madam, you are finally planning to recruit some people! I wanted to mention this to you before, but I was afraid that you had your own considerations, so I didn't dare to say it."
“It’s not like I didn’t do anything before.”
There were also Bai Wutong's people in the imperial kitchen and the Imperial Medical Bureau.
But she has always acted in a secretive manner. She usually just gives them small favors or helps them when they are in trouble, trying not to attract the attention of others.
Previously, Bai Wutong gave birth to twins and became famous. Many palace servants came to her on their own initiative, intending to join her.
But she acted cautiously and thought of observing for a while, so she didn't let them do anything.
As expected, when Yun and Yunxi encountered misfortune later, those people with evil intentions scattered like birds and beasts, and most of them left.
The one who stays now is the one who can truly make her feel at ease.
"Try to win over those who can be won over, but be sure to observe their character carefully and don't be careless." Bai Wutong continued to instruct, "Also, you need to put more effort into buying off the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
The Imperial Household Department holds enormous power in the Imperial Palace, and all daily necessities in the palace are allocated by them.
If someone has bad intentions and wants to interfere, it is really hard to guard against.
Yunxiang understood what he meant, "My lady, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter properly!"
