Chapter 307: Success takes its toll, I admit defeat!
After hearing this, Wen Chuyun was struck by lightning. His face turned pale as paper, and he became completely speechless and collapsed to the ground.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you that you once gave me a piece of cloth soaked in safflower, deliberately trying to harm me. You brought this upon yourself. It's a pity for your lover Wensi, who loved you so much that he was willing to serve as a guard in the palace for you, and even risked his life to help you get pregnant. But you pushed him into an abyss of no return with your own hands."
As Bai Wutong spoke, he slowly took out the food box in his hand and opened it, revealing a plate of exquisite pastries.
She didn't give Wen Chuyun any thought. Instead, she picked up a piece of cake and put it into her mouth elegantly, savoring it carefully. "Looking at your miserable appearance now, I'm afraid my appetite will be much better during this period. I have to eat an extra bowl of rice."
Wen Chuyun couldn't help but think of Wen Si.
Wensi was indeed harmed by himself...
Thinking of this, she felt hopeless and gave up struggling completely. "Winners take all, I admit defeat. I only ask you to let my family go. I can give you whatever you want!"
"You are now nothing but a stray dog with nothing. What can you give me? Don't waste your breath. Tomorrow the emperor will punish you according to the palace rules, and I will come to watch the execution in person. I heard that there is a sharp thorn on the wooden horse. When a person sits on it, the thorn will directly pierce the internal organs, but it will not kill the person immediately. During the execution, someone will lift the wooden horse and shake it continuously to make the thorn pierce deeper, until the blood is drained and the person dies in torture."
Bai Wutong's lips curled up into a smile, and she opened her red lips slightly, "Princess Wen, I'm waiting to see you in agony!"
Wen Chuyun's eyes were wide open almost popping out of their sockets as he stared at Bai Wutong with full of resentment.
Suddenly, she stretched out her bloody and scarred hand and grabbed the iron bars of the cell. Her nails scratched the bars, making a sharp and piercing sound.
Chan'er quickly picked up the food box beside her and threw it towards her hand.
Wen Chuyun let out a shrill scream, sounding even weaker than before.
At this moment, Wen Chuyun had already lost all his strength, and was only able to hold on thanks to the strong resentment and hatred in his chest.
"Bai Wutong, you bitch! You will die a miserable death! I curse you to die a miserable death in all your lives. The babies you will give birth to in the future will always be stillborn! Your two sons will also die young and suffer terribly! I will make you suffer for the rest of your life and never let you rest in peace!"
Wen Chuyun roared hysterically, spit flying, and the muscles on his face twisted and deformed, like a devil crawling out of hell.
Bai Wutong stood up calmly, his expression calm, his eyes showing a trace of pity and a bit of disdain, "Only losers would place their hopes on such a powerless curse. If the curse really had such magical power, my enemies would have died countless times already."
She wished she could skin Jin Weige alive and cut him into pieces.
But so much time has passed, and that woman is still alive and well, isn't she?
Before, Jin Weige claimed to be ill and could not go out, so even if Bai Wutong had hatred in his heart, he could not go and seek revenge.
Now the woman is starting to get restless again and jumping around, which undoubtedly gives her another chance for revenge.
Now Bai Wutong has dealt with the Queen and Wen Chuyun, the two powerful enemies who have been plotting to harm her.
Next, she had only one target, and that was Jin Weige!
She wanted Jin Weige to pay the price for what she had done in the past, and wanted her to die slowly in endless pain, making her feel that life was worse than death!
Bai Wutong no longer paid attention to Wen Chuyun's shouting and cursing, and turned around and walked out of the prison.
Behind him, Wen Chuyun was still cursing, his voice gradually becoming hoarse, and later on, he burst into desperate tears.
"Bai Wutong, please, save my family! I was wrong, I won't curse you anymore, really, I beg you..."
Bai Wutong acted as if he didn't hear anything and walked straight out of the prison without stopping at all.
Outside the prison, the same guard was still standing guard.
Seeing Bai Wutong coming out, he immediately smiled and bowed respectfully, "Empress Zhao, you are out."
"Yes." Bai Wutong replied calmly, "I will leave now."
"Farewell, Madam Zhao."
After returning to Tishun Hall, Bai Wutong went to visit the two children first.
Looking at their innocent sleeping faces, her eyes became extremely gentle.
After seeing the child, she took a bath and lay on the bed, "Chan'er, call me early tomorrow. I want to watch Wen Chuyun being punished with my own eyes."
Only when she sees her enemies die with her own eyes can she feel completely at peace.
The night passed quietly and silently.
The next morning, as soon as the sky turned pale, Bai Wutong got up early, packed everything carefully, and then went to the Yangxin Palace.
Zhang Chengyan was about to go to the morning court. When he saw her coming, he was slightly startled. "Why are you here so early today?"
"I was worried that the emperor might be upset because of what happened yesterday, so I came here early to keep him company."
Bai Wutong said softly, with a gentle smile on his face, and walked forward to help Zhang Chengyan straighten his clothes, "Your Majesty, when do you plan to deal with Wen Chuyun?"
"Today! I wish I could cut her into pieces immediately to vent my hatred!" Zhang Chengyan's eyes were filled with disgust when he mentioned Wen Chuyun.
Bai Wutong sighed, as if he felt extremely sympathetic towards Wen Chuyun's situation, and as if he felt sorry for him being angry about this matter.
"Your Majesty, what about the Wen family? Do you really intend to wipe out the Wen family in one fell swoop?"
"Of course! I have always remembered what happened to the Duke of Zhenguo. The reason why I didn't take action against the Wen family was that I was busy with affairs at that time and had no time to take care of it."
In fact, the most fundamental reason was that the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion had just suffered a fire and all the people in the mansion were killed in the flames.
If he were to attack the Wen family right after, it would easily arouse suspicion from others and allow them to see through the connection.
As the king of a country, he naturally hoped to leave his name in history and be praised by future generations, so he kept the Wen family until now.
Bai Wutong leaned in Zhang Chengyan's arms, "Your Majesty, no matter what people in the future say, in my heart, you will always be the most wise and powerful emperor. Those who have evil intentions all deserve their punishment and it is not a pity to die."
After hearing this, Zhang Chengyan felt better. He put his arm around Bai Wutong's waist, being extremely careful as he was afraid of touching the baby in her belly.
"I like your words very much. This time, I will take down the Wen family with all due respect and integrity! Even if the historian records it truthfully, it will be my achievement, demonstrating my determination to rectify the government!"
After that, he let go of her hand and said, "Okay, I have to go to court now. You can rest here. You don't have to go back to Tishun Hall. It's easy to get tired running back and forth."
Bai Wutong personally escorted Zhang Chengyan to the entrance of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, and followed his back with his eyes until he disappeared from his sight. Then he slowly turned around, walked to the place where he usually sat, and slowly sat down.
This location has an excellent view and you can see the door at a glance.
Normally, when ministers came to report on matters, they would kneel down in front of the emperor.
There was a mountain of memorials on the desk, as well as red pens and other tools used to review the memorials.
Bai Wutong closed his eyes and quietly felt everything around him.
Sitting in this position, a different feeling came over me. It was an illusion of controlling the world and looking down on all living things. It seemed pretty good...
But Bai Wutong quickly came to his senses, immediately stood up and walked into the room, as if nothing that had just happened had happened.
