Chapter 248 Now I love you the most
The ministers spoke one after another, belittling this originally great achievement into nothing.
These words reached Bai Wutong's ears intactly.
A sneer appeared on her lips. "Humph, why didn't these people have so many rules when they drank the medicine I donated to save their lives? Now that the epidemic has subsided, they all jump out to make comments!"
Since they are trying to stop me in every way, I will make sure that this golden statue of the temple can be erected!
Bai Wutong turned to look at Chan'er beside him, "Go and tell Sister Chunrou immediately to let the Grand Marshal spread my portrait. As long as he can accomplish this successfully, I will protect the Grand Marshal's family from now on! People always say that women are inferior to men, and believe that women should be trapped at home to take care of their husbands and children. Humph, now if women make some achievements, it will affect the country's destiny? I am still a concubine in the palace after all. If I were an ordinary woman, I don't know how I would be exploited!"
At this moment, Bai Wutong had every confidence to say this.
As a meritorious official of the Darong Kingdom, she saved countless people and court officials with her prescriptions. She was pregnant with a dragon fetus and was the biological mother of the crown prince. The emperor was very fond of her, and her status in the palace was no longer what it used to be.
What's more, it was the emperor himself who ordered the announcement of her contribution of the prescription to the world. In this case, the emperor should calmly accept everything that arises after the spread of this matter.
"Yes, I'll do it right away." Chan'er accepted the order, carefully took the portrait, and left in a hurry.
She trotted all the way and soon brought Bai Wutong's words to Duan Chunrou.
When Duan Chunrou heard this, her heart was filled with waves and memories of the past came flooding back like a tide.
Once upon a time, she carefully composed an excellent poem. If it had been spread at that time, she might have been awarded the title of the most talented woman in the capital.
But he never expected that the poem would be snatched away by his brother and even named after him.
When her parents found out about this, instead of seeking justice for her, they used the outdated rules that bound women to educate her and told her not to speak out.
Now that Bai Wutong is bravely taking the first step to break the rules, Duan Chunrou feels a strong urge deep in her heart, and she feels that she must fully support him.
If the temple is really built, Bai Wutong will become the first concubine in history to have a temple built among the people.
This is not only Bai Wutong's glory, but also more like a ray of light, illuminating the corner in Duan Chunrou's heart that longs to break free from the shackles.
She even secretly hoped that she would be able to achieve remarkable results like Bai Wutong...
"We must do as my sister says," Duan Chunrou said anxiously to the messenger, "Go and tell father quickly that he must draw several more portraits and spread them widely! But don't mention my sister's remarks about women's achievements. Just say that this matter is related to my sister's ascension to the throne!"
In Duan Chunrou's opinion, such a statement is more attractive to the general.
What she and Bai Wutong saw was women pursuing achievements and breaking down prejudices.
In the eyes of men like the Taiwei, perhaps what they care more about is the struggle for status in the harem and the game of power.
Now Duan Chunrou and Bai Wutong have close contacts, and everyone knows that the Taiwei family has actually been tied to the same boat with Bai Wutong for a long time.
As long as the general is not a confused person, he should be able to clearly see the huge benefits hidden behind this matter!
The night was as dark as ink, slowly falling, shrouding the entire palace in silence.
The epidemic came unexpectedly, and the originally lively and festive New Year's Eve was shattered.
The red lanterns in the palace that symbolized good luck had long been taken down, and the empty courtyard looked particularly dim.
With Yingchun's careful support, Bai Wutong walked slowly to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.
"Your Majesty, I knew you hadn't rested yet." As she spoke, she walked to Zhang Chengyan, leaned over slightly, and placed the food box in her hand on the table. "I specially ordered someone to make this porridge. Your Majesty, please drink a little to warm your body."
Zhang Chengyan was upset by a bunch of things at the moment. He put down the memorial in his hand only when he heard Bai Wutong's voice.
As soon as the epidemic was brought under control, the ministers began to make various suggestions.
Most of them were killed or injured in the epidemic, and almost all of those who survived now are strongly opposing the people's plan to build a golden statue for Bai Wutong.
In fact, Zhang Chengyan was somewhat resistant to this matter in his heart. After all, he was the ruler of the world and the object of admiration of all the people.
But Bai Wutong was right in front of him, so he couldn't reveal his true thoughts, so he just replied calmly, "Okay, then I'll drink a little."
"Your Majesty, why do you look so depressed?" Bai Wutong seemed to have noticed something strange about Zhang Chengyan and frowned slightly.
"It's okay, I'm just worried about the epidemic." Zhang Chengyan said casually.
Obviously this reply was very careless.
Now that the epidemic has been effectively controlled, he has nothing to worry about.
Could it be that he is worried about the people asking him to offer sacrifices to him?
Bai Wutong lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes fluttered gently like butterfly wings.
She stretched out her soft hands and gently massaged Zhang Chengyan's stiff arms. "Your Majesty, please stop thinking about it. The epidemic is under control now. You should also take a good rest. Don't exhaust your body."
"I know." There was a hint of fatigue in Zhang Chengyan's voice.
Seeing this, Bai Wutong gently held Zhang Chengyan's hand and placed it on her slightly bulging belly, "Your Majesty, the child is already three months old. The imperial physician said that everything is fine. We can do some..."
Before she could finish her words, a blush appeared on her face.
Zhang Chengyan was moved by her words, but he still resisted the urge in his heart and said, "No, I don't want any accidents to happen."
"Your Majesty, Doctor Ji said it's okay. It's not good to keep Your Majesty at home..." Bai Wutong's voice became lower and lower, as if she was mumbling to herself. Her slender fingers wrapped around Zhang Chengyan's hand, and she looked charming and charming, "Your Majesty..."
The faint fragrance lingered around Zhang Chengyan's nose, making him completely lose his resistance.
…
When the passion reached its climax, Bai Wutong asked softly, "Your Majesty, do you love me?"
Zhang Chengyan answered without hesitation, "Of course I love you. You are the one I love the most now."
Bai Wutong held his fingers together and asked, "Will the emperor allow the people to build a golden statue for me?"
Zhang Chengyan blurted out, "Yes!" without even thinking about it.
…
At the same time, the capital was silent, but the Xun Mansion was bustling with activity.
Xun Mingzhi sat at the table, holding a wine glass in his hand, with a smug smile on his face, "Look, this is another great achievement made by Wutong. The emperor will surely love her very much! In the future, our Xun family will be very successful!"
Xun Zhiyuan was full of dissatisfaction, and snorted coldly, "Bai Wutong doesn't know any medical skills, and she just happened to get the prescription. How can it be considered her achievement? If we really want to talk about it, it should be attributed to the wandering doctor!"
