Chapter 372 There must be a big problem here!
Everyone was stunned. For a moment, the whole hall fell silent.
Then, screams broke out.
The entire hall turned into chaos in the blink of an eye.
The palace servants rushed forward and tried to rescue Zhang Chengyan from under the heavy object.
Bai Wutong stood there, witnessing this sudden change, and felt it was extremely absurd.
How could a decoration that was clearly hung up suddenly fall down?
How could it be such a coincidence that it hit Zhang Chengyan?
She couldn't help but think of the saying that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Although Zhang Chengyan had sat in this position before, he should not have hung such a dangerous thing directly above him!
Just as she was lost in thought, the Queen Mother's voice rang in her ears, "What are you still standing there for? Go and see the Emperor!"
Bai Wutong finally came to her senses, lifted her skirt, and quickly rushed towards Zhang Chengyan.
As she ran, she shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Several palace servants quickly lifted Zhang Chengyan, carefully avoiding the crowd, and carried him into a palace nearby.
Not long after, the imperial doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau also arrived.
For a moment, the hall was crowded with people inside and outside.
Most of the imperial physicians could only wait in the outer room, and only Imperial Physician Ji and Imperial Physician Wang were allowed to enter the inner room for diagnosis and treatment.
Bai Wutong appeared to be extremely anxious and tear-stained, but in fact, he was very calm inside and was just pretending.
It would be great if something really happened to Zhang Chengyan!
But the possibility of a fake accident is higher. He could even avoid the powerful strange fragrance, but now he was almost killed by a falling decoration on New Year's Day. It is really unacceptable!
After a long time, Imperial Doctor Ji and Imperial Doctor Wang finally came out from the inner room.
Jin Weige was the first to rush forward, her face full of tears, her voice filled with sobs, and she asked anxiously, "How is the emperor? How is the emperor?"
Bai Wutong was not to be outdone, and with her petite figure, she quickly squeezed to the front.
Her face was already covered with traces of tears, and her pitiful appearance made people feel pity for her.
In comparison, Jin Weige seemed a little out of control.
Doctor Ji looked solemn and sighed, "The emperor's condition is not optimistic. The heavy object hit the emperor's head, causing intracranial damage. He has now fallen into a coma. The follow-up situation needs further observation."
When Jin Weige heard this, her emotions instantly went out of control. She wanted to rush into the inner room desperately, but was stopped by Wang Decai.
Wang Decai's face was also full of tears, and he begged bitterly, "Your Majesty, please don't do this! The emperor is in a critical condition now, and no one can disturb him, and no one can make too much noise."
Jin Weige's legs went limp and she collapsed to the ground, mumbling to herself, "How could this happen? How could this happen?"
The emperor is her only support and her only hope to regain favor!
If something happens to the emperor, Bai Wutong and her children will most likely ascend to the throne, and by then her situation will be unimaginable!
Thinking of this, Jin Weige stood up suddenly and rushed towards Bai Wutong, "You bitch! It must be you who killed the emperor, it must be you!"
Bai Wutong quickly dodged to the side, "Are you crazy? How could I possibly harm the emperor? Don't spit bloody words at me here!"
Wait... accident?
She was suddenly stunned, and the scene of Zhang Chengyan personally directing the palace servants to hang decorations emerged in her mind.
It was clearly him who had those things hung up, and he was personally directing the operation!
Bai Wutong felt something was wrong at the time. Was there really a problem here?
Jin Weige wanted to continue to attack, but was held back by the palace servants who came rushing over.
Bai Wutong took this opportunity to quietly approach Yunxiang and whispered, "Hurry up and go to the place where the accident happened just now to see what exactly hurt the emperor!"
The scene was so chaotic and there were so many people that she couldn't see clearly.
After receiving the order, Yunxiang quickly walked through the crowd and headed towards the banquet hall.
Although it was a joyous New Year's Eve, the atmosphere in the palace was extremely depressing.
Bai Wutong and a group of concubines looked anxious and paced back and forth on the corridor outside the palace.
About a quarter of an hour later, Yunxiang hurried over.
She quietly approached Bai Wutong and lowered her voice, "Your Majesty, I just went to check the place where the incident happened. The place was cleaned spotlessly. All traces disappeared without a trace. Even the objects that injured the emperor were dealt with cleanly. There is no clue left!"
Bai Wutong frowned, how could this be possible?
The emperor has encountered such a serious change, so it deserves a comprehensive and thorough investigation.
The hall where the accident occurred should have been tightly sealed, and all items should have been properly kept for inspection. How could it have been cleaned up so quickly?
Unless... there is an unspeakable secret behind this!
She paused for a moment, her eyes fixed on Yunxiang, "Have you ever personally entered the hall to check?"
Yunxiang shook her head, "Your Majesty, there are guards outside, so I can't get close. But among the palace maids cleaning nearby, there are people we have planted."
Those palace maids who were originally trusted by Zhang Chengyan had actually already secretly defected to Bai Wutong!
"There is indeed a problem. There must be a big problem here!"
Bai Wutong murmured softly and looked around for the Queen Mother.
But after a moment, their eyes met in the air.
The Queen Mother nodded slightly, as if conveying some cryptic message.
After a while, the door of the hall slowly opened.
Wang Decai came out again, looking tired and with a slightly hoarse voice, "My dear ladies, the emperor needs to recuperate quietly at this moment so that the imperial physician can carefully observe his injuries. Please go back to the palace to rest for the time being and don't disturb us here."
"No, I will never go back!" Jin Weige was so emotional that she screamed at the top of her lungs. She stretched out her hand and pointed at Bai Wutong viciously, "It must have been her who did it. It must have been her! In the entire harem, no one wants anything to happen to the emperor. She is the only one who has evil intentions. She must have planned all this!"
Bai Wutong pretended not to hear her and ignored her unreasonable accusations. Instead, he looked at Wang Decai with concern and said, "Eunuch Wang, if there are any changes in the emperor's condition, please inform us immediately."
"Yes, Madam, rest assured, I will do as you say."
Bai Wutong turned around and tried to leave. Seeing this, Jin Weige became even crazier. "Did you all see this? Something just happened to the Emperor, and the result hasn't come out yet, but she's in a hurry to leave. Isn't this a guilty conscience? Her fox tail is finally exposed!"
Bai Wutong turned around, tears welling up in her eyes, her voice choking with sobs, "I am also worried about the safety of the emperor. But if I stay here, not only can I not help, but I may even disrupt the imperial physician's treatment! I have to go back to take care of the children, so that when the emperor wakes up, he will know that the children are safe and the harem is safe. In addition, I have to pack up the emperor's frequently used items and send them over, and then go to the Buddhist temple to copy scriptures for the emperor and pray for God's blessing. All I can do is to do my best to pray for the emperor!"
After this was said, Jin Weige had no reason to refute.
Wang Decai looked at her departing back and nodded secretly.
Compared with those concubines who could only cry and make a fuss without any opinions of their own, Bai Wutong was thoughtful and behaved appropriately, especially her face full of tears, yet she was still forcing herself to remain calm, which made her look even more pitiful and made people feel pity for her.
