Chapter 413 Sew her mouth!
Bai Wutong walked to Yunhe, his eyes full of love, and personally helped him tidy up his slightly messy clothes, "Yunhe, do you like father?"
Yunhe raised her tender little face with an innocent smile on her face, and answered crisply: "Mother likes it, so I like it too."
After hearing this, Bai Wutong smiled even more and hugged him into his arms, "What if mother doesn't like it?"
Yunhe said without hesitation, "I don't like it either."
As the king of a country, Zhang Chengyan is busy with government affairs on weekdays. Although he loves his four children very much, he cannot be with them all the time.
In the past two years, Bai Wutong has been working tirelessly and taking care of the children personally. The children have been living with her day and night, and their feelings for her have naturally grown deeper.
Moreover, Zhang Chengyan had high hopes for the princes and was determined to train a qualified heir, so it was inevitable that he would be strict with Yunhe's education sometimes.
In addition, Su Zhaoyi has been pampered recently, so Zhang Chengyan has even less time to spend with his children.
Feelings are something that need to be accumulated over time, and this is especially true for children.
Long-term estrangement or a change in attitude may cause a child's emotions to cool quickly.
It is like those generals who have been fighting outside for many years and have not returned home for several years. When they come back, their children will feel strange and even afraid, and will completely forget the warm scene of being held in their father's arms and pampered.
"You are really my sweetheart, but please don't say this in front of the emperor, remember? If the emperor asks you anything, say something nice. If he asks you if you like him, just say that he likes the emperor the most in the world!"
Bai Wutong gently stroked Yunhe's head and gave him earnest advice.
Yunhe smiled with his eyebrows curved like a crescent moon, "Don't worry, mother, I know what's going on."
Just as he finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something, his expression froze slightly, and he whispered, "A few days ago, a palace maid told me that if my father's other concubines got pregnant, I would no longer be favored. Is this true? She also said that I would not be able to become emperor in the future."
Bai Wutong's face darkened instantly, and he asked in a cold voice, "Who said that?"
"She is the maidservant beside Su Zhaoyi."
Bai Wutong forced a smile and tried to make his voice sound gentle, "Yunhe, tell me, mother, what that maid looks like and what her name is. Do you know?"
"Mother, I heard others call her Ruyu."
Bai Wutong rubbed his little head and said, "Well, go to class first. Mother will take care of this matter."
"Yes." Yunhe turned around and left obediently.
Looking at his departing back, Bai Wutong's face became even colder, "You are such a good Su Zhaoyi, I have been too lazy to care about you, but you actually ordered such a lowly person to talk nonsense in Yunhe's ear!"
If Su Zhaoyi was targeting her personally, Bai Wutong would not take it to heart.
But her son is her life, and he is her weak spot that she will never allow anyone to touch!
Bai Wutong walked quickly to the door and shouted coldly outside, "Chan'er!"
"I'm here!" Chan'er responded quickly and hurried over.
"Follow me to Su Zhaoyi's palace, and bring a few more people with you."
Soon, a group of people arrived at Su Zhaoyi's residence in a mighty manner.
People in the palace rushed to greet her, saying in unison, "Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen!"
Bai Wutong looked around with a cold gaze, "Who asked Ruyu to come out?"
In the crowd, a palace maid of about seventeen or eighteen years old came out tremblingly. She looked panicked, knelt down with a plop, and said in a trembling voice, "My lady, my name is Ruyu."
Before she could finish her words, Bai Wutong ordered in a cold voice, "Slap your face!"
Chan'er understood what he meant, took a step forward, and slapped Ruyu on the face with two crisp slaps!
Ruyu screamed, covered her cheek, and collapsed to the ground.
The people around were so frightened that they dared not breathe and trembled uncontrollably.
As far as everyone could remember, this was the first time the Queen had lost her temper!
Ruyu cried, "My Queen, why did you hit me?"
"Don't you know why I hit you?" Bai Wutong sneered, stepped forward and pinched her chin, his eyes cold, "Do you know what kind of people I hate the most? Those who can't control their mouths! Yunhe is my own son, how can I allow you to talk nonsense and spread those messy rumors! Today, I will teach you how to be a well-behaved maid. Come, sew her mouth shut for me!"
"No!" Ruyu was so frightened that she begged desperately.
But Chan'er and others did not hesitate at all. They quickly asked someone to bring needle and thread and started to work.
At this moment, a sharp cry came, "Stop! Queen, what are you doing? You broke into my palace for no reason, beat and scolded my maid, and even sewed her mouth. How can you be so cruel!"
Bai Wutong acted as if he hadn't heard anything and ordered coldly, "Do it!"
"You...believe it or not, I will tell the emperor right now!" Su Zhaoyi threatened angrily.
Bai Wutong then slowly turned his head and looked at her, his eyes full of disdain, "You can go ahead, I must seek justice for Yunhe today!"
Chan'er was about to take action when Su Zhaoyi suddenly rushed forward and stood in front of Ruyu. She would never allow Bai Wutong to be so presumptuous in her palace! "What are you still standing there for? Go and call the emperor! I don't believe there is no law in this palace!"
Bai Wutong stared at Su Zhaoyi quietly, "Su Zhaoyi, you shouldn't have provoked me."
"Your Highness, you are wrong." Concubine Su retorted, "I didn't provoke you, you just barged in and beat me up without saying a word! I know that the Emperor has been doting on me lately. You may be unhappy, but you can't take it out on these servants. They are human beings too!"
It is absurd to talk about human rights in this deep palace.
In the palace, there is only strict hierarchy and supreme power!
Once one loses status and power, his situation may be even worse than that of animals!
"Su Zhaoyi, are you sure you don't want to move out of the way?" Bai Wutong asked again.
"Sure!" Su Zhaoyi gritted her teeth and was determined.
"Okay, come here, hold down Su Zhaoyi for me, and sew up this Ruyu's mouth!"
