Chapter 394 Once compared, the good and the bad are immediately apparent!
Wang Decai leaned over to pick up the letter, his eyes swept over the four words "Brother, save me", and he sighed in his heart.
Princess Jin would probably never understand until her death that in the emperor's heart, the country and the people are always more important than love!
However, the emperor showed no sympathy for her situation in the palace when she wrote this tearful letter asking for help. He only thought she was selfish!
Another day passed quietly, and there were only three days left before Zhang Chengyan's resurrection.
Inside the harem, there was apparent silence, not even the slightest ripple.
But secretly, the concubines were like ants on a hot pan, each one more anxious than the other, and their inner fear grew with time.
They have no idea what their future situation will be like.
Jin Weige was almost completely consumed by anxiety and almost couldn't sleep the whole night.
Jin Zhi must not leave the capital!
Once my brother goes to the border, I will be like a kite with a broken string, losing my last support and falling into an abyss from which there is no escape!
In the past, when she was in the Jin Mansion, she was the eldest daughter who was carefully cared for and held in the palm of everyone's hand, and enjoyed all the love and respect in the world.
Later, she married the emperor and became the most favored one in the palace, and this favor continued to the palace.
However, everything changed drastically after Bai Wutong entered the palace. Her situation became extremely difficult and she was walking on thin ice.
But no matter how difficult the days were, the emperor still remembered their past friendship. In addition, Jin Zhi had a large army under his command, so he had never been the slightest bit harsh to her, and he still treated her with all the proper positions and regulations.
She was barely able to maintain her dignity.
But now, the emperor has passed away, and everything has changed!
After enduring this long night, Jin Weige was furious and a bubble appeared at the corner of his mouth.
She couldn't sit still, so she went to Ti Shun Tang again in a panic, wanting to find Bai Wutong to argue.
But when she arrived, she found nothing.
Knowing that Bai Wutong had gone to the mourning hall, she had no choice but to rush there without stopping.
Inside the mourning hall.
The atmosphere is depressing.
Bai Wutong knelt in front of the brazier with a pious look, held up the ingots that he had carefully folded with his own hands, and placed them into the burning brazier.
In sharp contrast is Jin Weige.
With an impatient look on her face, she strode to the brazier, grabbed a handful of paper money and threw it into the brazier with force, her movements rudely and insincerely.
The paper money rolled around in the brazier and was soon engulfed by the flames, turning into wisps of green smoke.
"Empress Zhao! My eldest brother has trained several capable generals. Sending them to the border can also protect the country. The prince is still young and in his infancy. If my eldest brother is not there to protect him in the capital, what if he encounters any danger?"
As she spoke, she stared at Bai Wutong closely.
Bai Wutong didn't even raise his head, still burning the ingots in an orderly manner, his tone was cold and calm, "I have already said that this matter is just a rumor outside, I don't know it clearly. As for the final result, it has not been determined yet, everything is subject to discussion."
Jin Weige wanted to argue a few more words, but at this moment, Wang Decai walked in.
"Empress Zhao, your body is delicate. The mourning hall is cold, damp, and windy. You'd better not stay here for long to avoid catching a cold."
After saying that, he tilted his head slightly and glanced at Jin Weige.
There was a complex look in his eyes, with a hint of disgust and a hint of pity.
Bai Wutong saw all of this.
She was now almost certain that Zhang Chengyan must have known about Jin Weige's actions and had made comments and instructions, otherwise Wang Decai would not have had such a strange reaction!
However, Jin Weige was completely unaware and was still immersed in his own world.
When she saw Wang Decai appear, she just subconsciously closed her mouth, completely unaware of the hidden meaning in the other's eyes.
Bai Wutong's heart moved, and he immediately seized this opportunity and said to Wang Decai, "Eunuch Wang, you came at the right time. Concubine Jin came to me again to talk about General Jin. I tried my best to explain it, but she just refused to believe it. Why don't you come and talk to her, maybe she will listen."
Wang Decai turned around, with a helpless look on his face, and said to Jin Weige in a gentle voice, "Madam Jin, please don't think too much. The so-called sending General Jin to guard the border is completely nonsense. Don't mention this matter again in the future. In the current situation, I hope that Madam will put the country of Darong first."
His words were already a subtle reminder, hoping that Jin Weige could understand the deeper meaning and restrain her words and actions.
It was a pity that Jin Weige was blinded by greed and simply refused to listen to his earnest warnings.
Anyway, now that the emperor has passed away, in her opinion, most of the rules and taboos that bound her in the past are gone.
The words that I didn't dare to say before, now all came out in one go when facing Wang Decai.
"Eunuch Wang, what do you mean by this? Are you going to stand on the side of Concubine Zhao? Don't forget that my brother is the only general who can hold up the situation in Darong State! If he doesn't stay in the capital and runs to the border, how can the safety of the capital be guaranteed? If there is a mess at that time, who will bear the responsibility?"
After hearing this, Wang Decai closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself.
Why is Concubine Jin so stubborn that she can't understand the hidden meaning in my words?
Thinking about it carefully, she was not really stupid. If the emperor were still in power, she would never dare to say such treasonous words even if she had ten times the courage.
Ultimately, it was the death of the emperor that made her lose her sense of awe, and she only thought about her own way out, and became more and more courageous.
As her only support in this palace, Jin Zhi must stay by her side no matter what.
As for the interests of the country and the nation, in her eyes, they are not as important as her own personal interests.
She was only thinking about how to protect herself, but she didn't realize that her words and actions had unknowingly violated the royal family's taboo!
Bai Wutong laughed sarcastically, "Eunuch Wang, you see, Concubine Jin is so stubborn. If it were me, I would definitely let my brother guard the border!"
She changed her position again, causing Wang Decai to think in the direction of her words.
Yes, if it was Concubine Zhao, she would definitely put the country and the people first!
Comparing the two, Concubine Zhao wins!
It really proves the saying that people cannot be compared!
Once compared, the good and the bad will become apparent!
