Chapter 340 Your Majesty, You Absolutely Can’t Do This!
Bai Wutong looked at the beads of sweat on Wang Decai's forehead and the look on his face as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and he stopped trying to make things difficult for him.
"Okay, the emperor worked hard last night, so let him sleep a little longer. When the emperor wakes up, you will immediately select a palace servant to go to Ti Shun Hall to inform me."
"As you wish, Empress Zhao Fei, take care." Wang Decai responded with his head bowed respectfully.
Only after Bai Wutong's figure completely disappeared at the end of the winding palace road did he breathe a sigh of relief and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead with his hand.
Thinking back to last night, the charming sounds in Lanxin Pavilion continued one after another and lasted all night long.
He called for water as many as five times during this period. The scene is really unbearable to imagine.
If he had not been worried about angering the emperor, he would have rushed in regardless of everything and begged the emperor to take care of himself.
In the past two days, the emperor has been flipping the cards of the harem one after another, and today he is so unrestrained again.
Her body has just recovered. If it is damaged again, the entire harem and even the court will be thrown into turmoil.
The sun gradually set in the west, and it was not until noon that Zhang Chengyan finally woke up.
He felt as if his head was hit hard by a heavy hammer. His head was splitting with pain and his temples were throbbing.
Wang Decai had been waiting outside. When he heard the noise, he immediately walked into the inner hall with a cup of steaming warm water, and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?"
After his reminder, Zhang Chengyan gradually recalled the ridiculous things that happened last night.
The strange thing is that usually after one or two times, he would lose interest and his body would no longer respond.
But last night I seemed to be dominated by a mysterious force. I couldn't stop, over and over again, and I tossed and turned the whole night.
Zhang Chengyan raised his hand and rubbed his solar plexus vigorously, saying in a muffled voice, "It's okay, I just have a headache. It's probably because I didn't get enough rest last night and was exhausted."
After saying this, he lifted the brocade quilt embroidered with golden dragons and tried to get out of bed.
As soon as his legs touched the ground, he felt sore and weak, his whole body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground.
Wang Decai was quick-witted and rushed forward to support him steadily, "Your Majesty, please be careful!"
Zhang Chengyan's face was gloomy. He waved away Wang Decai's hand unhappily, and said with a bit of anger, "I said it's okay, it's just a headache, don't make a fuss! Okay, go to the imperial tea room and make me a pot of tea to wake me up."
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Wang Decai swallowed the advice that was about to come out of his mouth and hurriedly left.
After returning to the Yangxin Palace, he carefully placed the teacup on the table, and then mentioned the matter of Bai Wutong to Zhang Chengyan, "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao heard that you did not attend the morning court, and was worried that you were not feeling well, so she came to visit you, but was stopped outside the palace by me."
Zhang Chengyan paused, and his already twisted brows furrowed even tighter. "So, she knows about the card I flipped last night?"
"The harem is always well-informed, and Your Majesty must have known about it."
"Just know it if you know it." Zhang Chengyan was very annoyed because of this tangled feeling.
He didn't like this feeling, as if he was restrained and shackled by an invisible force.
"Alright, I need to rest my body and mind today. If Concubine Zhao comes again, tell her the truth and let her go back first."
Wang Decai responded respectfully, "As you wish."
In the afternoon, the sunlight became much softer.
Seeing that still no one came to report, Bai Wutong thought about it and felt uneasy, so he decided to go to the Yangxin Palace to find out what was going on.
Wang Decai saw her coming from afar, and his heart tightened. He immediately went forward and said respectfully according to the excuse he had prepared in advance, "Empress Zhao, the emperor woke up in the morning, ate something and went to bed. He also specifically told me not to disturb him. That's why I didn't send anyone over. Your Majesty is busy with all kinds of affairs, and you are exhausted. Please go back to Tishun Hall first to avoid overwork."
Bai Wutong's eyes instantly turned cold, "It seems that the emperor really exhausted his energy last night. Not only did he miss the morning court session, he even had to sleep in the afternoon to recover."
Upon hearing this, Wang Decai lowered his head even lower, not daring to breathe, let alone respond.
"Wang Decai!"
"I'm here!" Wang Decai was startled and responded quickly.
"You have been serving the emperor for many years, so you should have told him clearly what he can and cannot do. Even if you can't tell him directly, you should have reminded him tactfully. If the emperor's health is really in danger, do you think you can get away with it?"
"Your servant... Your servant has committed dereliction of duty. Your Majesty, please rest assured that your servant will find an opportunity to advise the emperor."
Bai Wutong did not want to speak too harshly, so he softened his tone and said, "Eunuch Wang, I am also extremely worried, and my words just now were a bit harsh, please don't take it to heart."
"Your Majesty is right. This is what I deserve."
"Okay, I won't nag you any more." Bai Wutong was turned away again. With no other choice, he could only turn around and return to Ti Shun Hall.
…
Night falls quietly.
After the last ray of afterglow in the sky disappeared, Zhang Chengyan slowly woke up.
Looking at the familiar furnishings in the hall, the beautiful scenes of last night kept emerging in my mind. Inexplicably, the idea of flipping the cards came to my mind again.
"Wang Decai!"
"The slave is here!"
"Tonight...the beautiful sisters Chuanlin will sleep with you."
Wang Decai was so frightened that his face turned pale. He fell to his knees and kowtowed repeatedly, almost bursting into tears. "Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
"Hmm? Why?"
"You didn't sleep last night. If you don't rest tonight, how can your body bear it? I can't bear to see your body damaged, so I dare to speak up and ask you to stop tonight."
Thinking back to noon, Zhang Chengyan even felt weak in the legs.
Although he claimed to have a headache, Wang Decai knew it clearly in his heart, but he just didn't dare to say it out loud.
Zhang Chengyan pondered for a moment and felt that what he said made sense, but for some reason, he felt a surge of anger in his heart and was very irritated. "Okay, then I'll do as you say. Let's stop for tonight. You can leave now."
"Yes!" Wang Decai felt as if he had been granted amnesty. After leaving the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, he immediately sent a young eunuch to the Imperial Hospital to inquire about the remedy that could quickly restore the emperor's health. He planned to arrange it tomorrow!
That night, Zhang Chengyan lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
"Could it be that I couldn't fall asleep because I slept all day? It seems that I really can't be so indulgent in the future."
It was not until dawn that he fell into a drowsy sleep.
But after only half an hour of sleep, it was time to go to court.
Despite feeling unwell all over, Zhang Chengyan still forced himself to get up.
He aspires to become a sage king, so how could he not attend court for so many days in a row?
If the ministers knew the reasons behind this, some of them would inevitably make suggestions and criticize it.
After the morning court finally ended, Zhang Chengyan dragged his tired body back to the Yangxin Palace and fell asleep again.
This time, Bai Wutong did not go there in person, but sent a palace maid to inquire about the news.
For the entire day, she didn't set foot into the Yangxin Palace.
Since the emperor is unwell, let him rest.
Wait two days and then plan to make him favor Duan Chunrou.
Late at night, candlelight flickered in the Tishun Hall. Bai Wutong was leaning on the carved bed, flipping through an ancient book.
Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and then Chan'er rushed in in a panic, her breath unstable, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The Emperor has turned over the cards again!"
Bai Wutong sat up suddenly after hearing this and asked, "Whose sign is this?"
"It belongs to the beautiful sisters Lin!"
"The Emperor just got a day off, but today he's calling on them again?" Bai Wutong frowned, his voice full of disbelief.
It seems that these Turkic sisters are really capable, and they make the emperor so unable to stop!
Just one night's rest and it starts again!
