Chapter 339 Could it be that I was too naughty last night?
Inside Tishun Hall.
Bai Wutong frowned slightly and stood up. "What exactly is going on? Why did Chunrou fail to sleep with the emperor, but he favored those two Turkic beauties instead?"
Yingchun hurried forward and explained, "Your Majesty, I heard that Concubine Duan was ill and she sent a female doctor to treat her."
"Let's go and take a look!"
Bai Wutong put on a rabbit fur shawl himself and hurried away.
As soon as she saw her, Duan Chunrou's eyes instantly turned red, full of guilt, "Sister, it's all my fault for being useless. I just happened to be unwell at this time and ruined everything."
"How could it be such a coincidence?" Bai Wutong looked worried and touched her forehead. Fortunately, she didn't have a fever. "Did you eat something you shouldn't have?"
"Sister, I was also worried that something might go wrong, so I ate the same as usual these past two days. But when I came back today, I ran into those two Turkic beauties. They gave me a hairpin, and probably after sunset, I started to feel unwell."
Duan Chunrou bit her lip, with a hint of grievance in her tone.
Bai Wutong immediately turned his gaze to Yingchun.
Yingchun lowered her head, looking embarrassed.
Today she didn't dare to follow too closely, for fear of being noticed. Moreover, Duan Chunrou had her back to her when she was talking to the two Turkic beauties, so she didn't see the hairpin at all.
Bai Wutong stretched out his hand and said, "Let me see that thing."
Soon, the palace maid presented the hairpin.
The luminous pearl on this hairpin looks like an authentic one, and there seems to be nothing unusual about it at first glance.
"Give it to me for safekeeping. Don't take it anymore. They must have done something secretly, but I don't know what method they used yet."
Bai Wutong continued to study the hairpin as he spoke.
"Madam," Yingchun reminded quietly, "The end of this hairpin is empty."
Bai Wutong looked carefully and found that there was indeed a small hole where the night pearl was placed.
It was only because the night pearl itself was heavy that she ignored the fact that the weight of the hairpin was not right.
If you think about it carefully, it is indeed lighter than a normal hairpin.
After looking at it for a long time, I didn't expect that the hairpin was hollow inside.
This hollow hairpin is not only easy to deform, but also cannot fix the hair well. The prominent people in Darong State would not use it at all.
Only ordinary people would build it like this in order to save money.
Bai Wutong had a rough guess in his mind, "It seems that the problem lies in this hole. I'm afraid something was put in it and you sucked it in. I heard that the Turks always like to use some strange herbs."
The environment there is special, with grasslands and snow-capped mountains. Although the snow-capped mountains are cold all year round, they are also rich in many special things that cannot be seen outside.
Even Bai Wutong himself was not completely clear about what exactly was going on.
She had never been there and had only lived in deep mountains and forests before.
Duan Chunrou was angry and aggrieved, tears welling up in her eyes, "Sister, they are so cruel! In order to win the emperor's favor, they actually resorted to such vicious means!"
"Don't cry, it's nothing. You have to get used to it in the future."
Compared to what he had done before, this method of drugging was the most low-level.
All I can say is that Duan Chunrou was a little too naive, which is why she was easily fooled.
If it were me, I would definitely not accept it, and might even have someone destroy the hairpin on the spot.
Bai Wutong sighed softly, picked up a handkerchief, and gently wiped the tears from her cheeks. "Don't worry, I will definitely help you get rid of this anger in the future. Just take good care of yourself today and take care of your body. From tomorrow on, I will find a chance to keep the emperor by my side and not let him go to the residence of those two people again. When the emperor wants to relax, I will arrange for him to go to your place."
Duan Chunrou nodded, her eyes full of emotion, "Thank you, sister. You are so kind to me. I will always remember it in my heart."
"Silly girl, there's nothing to thank me for. You should have a good rest. It's getting late, and I have to go back quickly."
Bai Wutong patted her hands, stood up and left.
After returning to Tishun Hall, Bai Wutong stared at the hairpin with cold eyes, then looked at Yingchun, "Yingchun, what is going on?"
Yingchun immediately knelt on the ground and explained in a panic, "Your Majesty, I didn't dare to follow too closely at that time, for fear of being noticed by the two Turkic beauties. And Concubine Duan had her back to me, so I couldn't see what they were doing. The two left very quickly, and I thought they just came to take a look and didn't do anything bad, so..."
Bai Wutong frowned and studied her expression carefully.
She has always been steady and cautious in her work, and it seems that she really didn't notice the little actions of those two people this time.
"Okay, I get it. I'll have to be more careful next time."
Now the emperor has favored those two Turkic beauties again. I wonder if Duan Chunrou can still be favored again.
After all, those two are twins, and they are unruly by nature, with endless ways of doing things. Maybe they know more about the boudoir than what is recorded in the fire avoidance map!
Now that things have come to this, Bai Wutong can only wait and see.
On the second day, the morning light shone over the palace walls. Bai Wutong was shocked to hear that Zhang Chengyan did not go to court, and immediately went to the Yangxin Palace.
As soon as they reached the palace gate, Wang Decai looked flustered and hurried forward to stop them, "Empress Zhao, please stay... The emperor hasn't gotten up yet!"
Bai Wutong frowned, "Today is not a day off, why doesn't the emperor go to court?"
"This..." Wang Decai looked embarrassed. He looked around and saw that there was no one around. Then he lowered his voice and replied, "The emperor overslept today and couldn't be woken up."
"Can't wake up?" Bai Wutong's eyes were stern, and he said in a cold voice, "Could it be that you were too naughty last night and couldn't wake up?"
"Your Majesty, you can't do that! You must not say such things. The emperor always acts with moderation. How could he do such a thing?" Wang Decai's forehead suddenly broke out in cold sweat, and his voice trembled a little.
He didn't go to court and is still sleepy. What else could this be but nonsense?
Wang Decai saw that she was full of disbelief, so he approached cautiously and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know that the emperor is in a bad mood. Two days ago, the emperor met with Lord Jin and said that he would arrange a marriage for him. But when he went to court the next day, he found out that Lord Jin went to the canal without saying a word, and didn't even say hello to the emperor. The emperor was furious, and he drank to relieve his sorrow last night..."
