Chapter 349 Concubine Jin said something else!
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, warm fragrance wafts in the air.
Bai Wutong had just mentioned Jin Weige to Zhang Chengyan, and before his words had completely dissipated in the air, she had arrived.
This is too much of a coincidence!
Zhang Chengyan was slightly startled, then he raised his voice and responded, "Let her in quickly."
Soon, Jin Weige, wearing a bright and eye-catching red palace dress, stepped into the Yangxin Palace with a happy face.
The fiery clothes were particularly eye-catching in this slightly dim palace.
She walked forward gracefully, performed a standard palace etiquette, and said in a soft and gentle voice, "Your Majesty, I have finally recovered from my illness. My heart feels like it has a little rabbit in its arms, and I can't calm down for a moment. I hurried to see you."
After saying that, she raised her eyes and glanced at Bai Wutong, "Your Majesty, I wouldn't be so rash as to disturb the world of two people between you and your sister, Concubine Zhao, would I?"
Zhang Chengyan waved his hand, his expression gentle, "No, we were just talking about you."
He turned to look at Bai Wutong, "Wutong, go on, what were you going to say just now?"
Jin Weige also turned her gaze towards her, with a smile on her face, but with a hint of provocation, "Sister Zhao Fei, you are not going to say that I am crazy when you mention me in front of the emperor? Alas, Your Majesty, to be honest, this matter is really my fault."
"This time I was seriously ill and lay on the sickbed for quite a while. It gave me time to calm down and think about many things. I just realized that there were misunderstandings between me and my sister, Concubine Zhao." She sighed softly and shook her head helplessly. "I wanted to make peace with my sister. I went to her every day these days, hoping to sit down and have a good chat to resolve the misunderstandings. But my sister seemed to have some prejudice against me and was not willing to listen to my explanation."
Hearing this, Zhang Chengyan looked at Bai Wutong and asked, "Is that so?"
Bai Wutong responded calmly, "Your Majesty, what Concubine Jin said is true. She did express her wish to reconcile with me, and repeatedly mentioned that everything in the past was a misunderstanding. It's just that..."
She paused, and her eyes met Jin Weige's for a moment, "Princess Jin said something else."
Upon hearing this, Jin Weige was not afraid. Instead, he raised his eyebrows. He looked like he was waiting to see a good show.
Bai Wutong hesitated for a moment when the words were on the tip of his tongue.
What does she mean?
Is she really not afraid that I will tell her about the imperial edict?
Or had she already set a trap and was waiting for me to fall into it?
Based on my understanding of her, there is no way she would let go of her hatred so easily and really want to forget the grudges with a smile.
There must be an ulterior conspiracy behind this.
Maybe the series of strange things that happened recently were all traps she carefully set.
Seeing that Bai Wutong was hesitant to speak, Jin Weige was not anxious. Instead, he urged her, "Sister, tell me quickly. What did I tell you? Don't hide it. Let the emperor know too."
Bai Wutong's mind raced. After weighing the pros and cons, she decided to put aside the imperial edict for now and said calmly, "Your Majesty, Concubine Jin found me and said she wanted to join hands with me to give the two Turkic beauties a drug that would make them sterile for life, completely destroying their hopes of staying in the palace and eliminating the so-called threat. When I heard this, I felt that this plan was too vicious, so I said that she seemed to have lost her mind to come up with such a cruel method."
Zhang Chengyan's face darkened when he heard this. "Are you serious?"
Even though the two Turkic beauties were foreigners, the issue of their offspring might have an impact on the court situation, but this was also a major matter that he needed to consider. When would it be the turn of the concubines in the harem to intervene?
Furthermore, using drugs to kill off offspring is a vicious method!
When Jin Weige heard this, she immediately frowned and pouted, her face full of grievance, "Your Majesty, you must not believe the one-sided words of Concubine Zhao! Concubine Zhao and I had some conflicts in the past, and she still holds a grudge against me and has not agreed to reconcile with me. Even if I am confused, I will not be so stupid as to hand her the handle and wait for her to come to you to complain, right?"
As she spoke, she gently wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, making a pitiful look.
The two people each hold an opinion.
Zhang Chengyan turned his gaze from Jin Weige to Bai Wutong, "How do you explain it?"
Bai Wutong was dignified and calm, "Your Majesty, every word I said is true, not a lie. Concubine Jin proposed this at the time, and I was worried that she would really put it into action, so I came to report it to you. Unexpectedly, she turned the tables and denied saying those words. In this way, my credibility in your Majesty's heart is probably greatly reduced. Although this method is not mainstream, it is indeed effective. Aren't you also suspicious, Your Majesty?"
She spoke sincerely, her eyes were open, and every word she said was powerful.
After hearing this, a trace of displeasure flashed across Jin Weige's face. She had wanted to give Bai Wutong a warning, but she didn't expect her to respond so fiercely.
But she was not a pushover, so she straightened her back and said, "Your Majesty, I swear to heaven that I have never said such a thing. It must be my sister who misunderstood."
She also spoke in a firm tone, as if she had really been wronged.
Zhang Chengyan just felt a terrible headache.
Normally, Jin Weige wouldn't be stupid enough to tell Bai Wutong about this directly.
But Bai Wutong has always been honest in front of him and rarely lies.
The two of them were arguing, the husband said he was right and the wife said she was right, making it difficult for him to make a decision.
He waved his hands irritably, "Alright, stop arguing, let's leave it at that. Regardless of whether this is true or false, you are not allowed to use the drug that will kill your offspring on the Turkic beauty. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, how dare I?" Jin Weige instantly put on a sweet smile and turned to look at Bai Wutong, "Sister, please don't be so hostile to me anymore. If we sisters can live in harmony, Your Majesty will be relieved, and the harem will naturally be peaceful and harmonious."
As he said this, he pulled her sleeve hypocritically.
Zhang Chengyan looked at this scene and nodded with satisfaction. "What Concubine Jin said makes sense. Wutong, since she has admitted her mistakes, don't worry about the past anymore. I will feel at ease if you two get along well."
Since he said so, even if Bai Wutong was extremely reluctant, she couldn't go against the emperor's will, so she could only force a smile, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have thought it through a long time ago. The past grudges are wiped out, and we can only look to the future."
Jin Weige pushed the issue further, with a smug smile on her face, "Then why is my sister still unwilling to call me sister?"
Under the gaze of the two, Bai Wutong bit his lower lip tightly, holding back his emotions, and squeezed out two words from between his teeth, "Sister."
