Chapter 360 Family ties cannot be severed
Miss Lin's throat rolled and she swallowed hard, feeling uneasy.
She absolutely did not believe that Bai Wutong would be so kind for no reason, and he must be asking them to do something extremely terrible and dangerous.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask, "What exactly do you want us to do? Just say it directly, don't beat around the bush. Is it fun to tease us like this?"
Bai Wutong shook her head gently. "You are really too impatient. With your current attitude, how can I let you go without worry? Well, let's stop here today. After some time, when you have thought it through, I will come to visit you again."
After saying this, she turned and left calmly.
Miss Lin opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back and could only watch the graceful figure disappear at the entrance of the Buddhist temple.
Since Bai Wutong has made up his mind to use them, he will naturally not reveal this matter to the emperor and will definitely give them time to think.
So they are safe for now.
As the door of the Buddhist temple slowly closed, Miss Lin's legs went limp and she collapsed on the cold ground.
Now, their most fatal handle has been firmly grasped by Bai Wutong. If they think about it carefully, they have no other choice but to agree!
The beautiful lady at the side had already turned pale with fear, her voice trembling violently, "Sister, what should we do now? Should we really agree to her? I don't want to help her."
She still remembered the slap Bai Wutong had given her. The burning pain seemed to still linger on her face. Even now, her cheeks still hurt when she thought about it.
When have they ever suffered such humiliation in their entire lives?
As she spoke, the beautiful lady's eyes became red and she looked aggrieved.
Lady Lin asked angrily, "What else can we do? Do you think we have any other choice? Let's not talk about anything else for now. If she finds what we have hidden and hands it over to the emperor, we will be finished. As long as the emperor takes that thing to verify the truth of the rumor and finds it is true, we will definitely die. No emperor in this world can tolerate such a thing!"
They knew very well the harm of this strange fragrance.
Once used for a long time, a man's self-control will become lower and lower, and his mind and eyes will only be filled with the two of them.
What’s worse is that I have to indulge in that kind of thing every day.
No matter how strong a man is, he will not be able to withstand this in the long run. Even if the emperor enjoys delicacies from land and sea every day to nourish his body, it will be of no use.
What's more, they are originally from outsiders. As the saying goes, those who are not of our race must have different hearts. How dare they hope that the emperor will let them go easily? They really don't want to lose their lives like this.
Beauty Yan racked her brains but couldn't come up with any good ideas. She stamped her feet anxiously, "Sister, we can't just agree to her so easily! We have to think of a way to control her."
"That has to wait until we get out. In our current situation, we are trapped in this temple and can't do anything. We have to endure the cold and hunger every day."
Since being locked up, they have been living a life worse than that of the servants. They are stuck in this small place every day, unable to sleep well and their meals have no taste.
The most important thing is that no one cares about them. This feeling of being forgotten by the world is the most terrifying.
In this lonely and depressing environment, their thoughts drifted uncontrollably and they were daydreaming all day long.
Take the past two days for example, Lady Lin's mind was full of thoughts about how the emperor would eventually deal with them.
The fear of the unknown, like a thick haze, shrouds the heart and makes it hard to breathe.
What if the emperor lets them go someday, but what awaits them is the guillotine...
Just thinking about it, beautiful Lin couldn't help but shudder.
Bai Wutong did not leave directly, but turned and went to the Queen Mother's residence.
When the Queen Mother saw her approaching, she thought she was going to leave. Although she was reluctant, she pretended to be carefree and gently let go of Yunxi who was leaning on her intimacy, "If you want to leave, go quickly."
Bai Wutong smiled slightly, her eyes full of sincerity, "Empress Dowager, who said I'm leaving?"
After that, she gently touched Yunxi's head, motioning him to stay with his grandmother for a while longer, "Empress Dowager, in the future, whenever I have time, I will bring the children to see you. You are the emperor's biological mother, this is an unchangeable fact. Even if there is some estrangement between you and the emperor, it is only between the two of you, and it must not involve the children. As the children's grandmother, this blood relationship will last a lifetime."
When the Queen Mother heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
She had gone through countless storms in this deep palace and experienced ups and downs for half her life. She thought she had seen through everything in the world, but she did not expect Bai Wutong to say such heartfelt words.
However, she was still subconsciously alert.
The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze inquiring, "Concubine Zhao, there is no need to beat around the bush. If you have any ideas, just tell me directly. What exactly do you want me to do?"
If it's just a small favor and she can see the children more often, she would be willing to help out.
Bai Wutong bowed slightly, with a humble look on her face, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. I really have no other request. As the saying goes, 'greater generations are closer, closer still'. I just hope that the children can fully experience this deep love between their grandparents and grandchildren as they grow up. They are still young now, and it will be hard to find such a pure emotional experience when they grow up."
She paused for a moment, a trace of regret in her eyes, "When they grow up and become part of the royal family, they will have to give up many precious things, including family, love, and friendship, for the sake of the throne and the country. I only hope that they can have a complete and wonderful childhood and experience all the warmth of the world."
The Queen Mother saw that she was not pretending and sighed, "I also hope so..."
"So, Your Majesty, please don't refuse. I will bring Yunxi with me to accompany you today."
The Queen Mother finally nodded and hugged Yunxi again, "I really like him no matter how I look at him. If you, Concubine Zhao, come here often in the future... I will treat you well."
She is already this age, but is still imprisoned in the palace.
What's wrong with giving something to have someone accompany you?
