Chapter 256 What a terrible woman!
"Look, I've already said it, it wasn't me who did it." Bai Wutong showed just the right amount of grievance on her face, and she pretended to be kind as she walked forward, pretending to support Wen Chuyun.
The imperial physician was horrified upon seeing this and hurriedly tried to stop them, "Your Majesty, you can't do that! This poisonous herb is volatile, you'd better stay away from it! Touching it may cause miscarriage, and getting too close will also affect the dragon fetus."
"What? It's not okay even if I don't touch it?" Bai Wutong pretended to be frightened. Her delicate body trembled slightly. She took two steps back and stopped only when she reached Zhang Chengyan.
She reached out and gently pulled Zhang Chengyan's sleeve, her voice trembling, "Your Majesty, I am a little scared."
Wen Chuyun felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, feeling extremely cold.
She had vaguely guessed what was going on.
It must have been Concubine Zhao who used poisonous herbs to disfigure her, but Concubine Zhao was a pregnant woman and could not touch the poisonous herbs directly, otherwise it would endanger the fetus in her womb.
This method is truly cruel and vicious!
But the question is, how did Concubine Zhao use the poisonous grass on her face?
Apart from that slap, Bai Wutong never touched any part of her body again, and all the concubines who had been to the Imperial Garden could testify to this.
How did Concubine Zhao do it?
Wen Chuyun racked his brains but still couldn't figure it out.
Seeing her silence, Bai Wutong sighed again, "Princess Wen, even if you hate the slap I gave you, you shouldn't have been so deliberate in framing me, and even brought such a dangerous thing to the Yangxin Palace. Do you know that you are playing a joke on my dragon fetus?"
Wen Chuyun's eyes widened with anger, and he suddenly raised his head and stared at Bai Wutong, "You deliberately set up a trap to slander me!"
"Princess Wen, why are you still so stubborn!" Bai Wutong's eyebrows were raised, and she no longer had the tenderness she had before. "I only touched you with my hand. This poison is extremely harmful to the dragon fetus in my belly. How could I dare to touch it, let alone get it on your face accurately? If there is something wrong with the Imperial Garden, why are all the other concubines safe and sound, but you are the only one in trouble?"
Wen Chuyun's face turned pale and red.
yes.
Why is everyone else okay?
Where did Bai Wutong put the poison?
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, and she shouted loudly, "Oh, right, you touched my face with the handkerchief! You must have poisoned the handkerchief!"
"Princess Wen!" Bai Wutong's voice became increasingly cold. "I have been holding the handkerchief. When I slapped you, I used my other hand and never put it down. If you don't believe me, you can go ask the people who were there to see if what I said is true!"
Zhang Chengyan on the side frowned, thinking that this should not be done by Bai Wutong.
She is now pregnant with a dragon fetus, and she has always been cautious and careful. There is no way she would touch anything harmful to the dragon fetus, let alone something so poisonous that could cause miscarriage.
Concubine Wen herself insisted that there was nothing unusual in the Imperial Garden.
It seems that either someone else was secretly behind this, or Concubine Wen directed and acted out this farce herself.
The purpose was to bring this dangerous thing to Concubine Zhao in an attempt to frame her.
If this is true, then Concubine Wen is too vicious!
Bai Wutong held Zhang Chengyan's arm, leaning against him like a little bird, saying aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, Concubine Wen insisted that I had poisoned her when I beat her, but when her face got hurt, she didn't rush to find the imperial physician for treatment, but rushed to you to complain. I don't think she was really worried. Until now, she hasn't asked the imperial physician for an antidote. Could it be that this thing won't really disfigure her, and she's just acting on purpose?"
Zhang Chengyan's heart moved, and he immediately looked at the imperial physician.
The imperial physician understood what he meant and immediately replied, "Your Majesty, the poison of this poisonous grass will gradually dissipate on its own. In three days at most, Concubine Wen's face will be restored to its original state."
When Wen Chuyun heard this, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
She subconsciously grabbed the leg of the chair next to her and managed to stabilize her body.
It turns out that every move of his was calculated by Concubine Zhao!
This woman is so scary!
She had long anticipated that she would go to the emperor to complain immediately, so she deliberately used this poison that would not actually disfigure her.
In this way, he confirmed the illusion that he was not in a hurry to receive treatment, making everyone think that he was deliberately causing trouble.
The reason why she didn't ask the imperial physician about the antidote just now was because Bai Wutong's words disturbed her thoughts. She had been thinking about the flaws in it, but she didn't expect to fall into a deeper trap set by the other party!
"Your Majesty, I, your concubine..."
Zhang Chengyan gave her a disgusted look and said, "Drag her away and send her back to Wuyou Palace! You'd better pray that the dragon fetus in Concubine Zhao's belly is safe, otherwise I will not let you off easily!"
"No, Your Majesty, I am innocent!"
Seeing this, Bai Wutong calmly winked at Zhang Chengyan and mouthed, "Your Majesty, I am a sinner now."
Zhang Chengyan finally came back to his senses, coughed lightly, and straightened his expression, "Zhao Fei, you too, why did you hit someone just because of a disagreement? Do you really think this harem is a place where you can do whatever you want? The previous epidemic matter has not been investigated clearly, you should also go back to Ti Shun Tang, copy and recite Buddhist scriptures every day, and reflect on yourself!"
"Yes, I'll go right away." Bai Wutong bowed and walked out of the Yangxin Palace gracefully.
Coincidentally, Wen Chuyun was also being dragged out by the eunuchs.
Wen Chuyun had disheveled hair and a resentful look in her eyes. After seeing Bai Wutong, she struggled desperately and shouted, "Zhao Fei, don't be complacent! This is clearly your conspiracy! How did you poison me? Since you didn't use your hands, then what method did you use?"
Bai Wutong raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and said slowly, "Princess Wen, there is an old saying that goes, 'You will suffer the consequences if you bring trouble upon yourself. You should take care of yourself.'"
After that, with the support of Chan'er, she walked towards Ti Shun Hall, turning a deaf ear to Wen Chuyun's questioning.
Who would have thought that Bai Wutong's true form was a raccoon.
When she was pregnant, the fetus was extremely stable and would not have miscarried easily unless she encountered an earth-shattering event.
The so-called poisonous weeds were nothing but a piece of cake for her and could not cause any substantial harm at all.
After returning from the Imperial Garden, she found an excuse to wash her hands, but actually put the antidote into the water.
That's why there was no red spot on her hand, revealing any flaws.
Not long after, Bai Wutong returned to Tishun Hall.
Concubine De and Concubine Hui were sitting on chairs, chatting idly.
What just happened outside had already reached their ears.
When Concubine De saw Bai Wutong coming in, she stood up to greet him and said, "Sister, you must be careful with the dragon fetus. People in the harem are unpredictable, so you must be cautious in everything."
"Thank you for your concern, elder sister." Bai Wutong nodded gently and sat down with the help of Concubine De. "Something happened to Concubine Wen's face. I'm sure you two elder sisters have heard about it, right?"
The two of them had been waiting outside with their personal maids, and they knew exactly what had happened.
After all, Wen Chuyun did not close the door after breaking into the Yangxin Palace, and her shrill cries had already spread out, so it would be hard not to know.
