Chapter 420 Send them all back!
Yongshou Palace.
The Queen Mother also quickly learned the whole story.
After listening to the maid's report, she was so angry that her face turned blue and she slammed the table, "This emperor is so confused! What on earth is he thinking!"
The nanny next to her hurried forward to comfort her, "Your Majesty, the emperor has not really changed his mind, that's why he treats the queen like this. I heard that he has always been resentful of the queen, saying that when he doted on Su Zhaoyi, the queen was no longer jealous like before, and she also felt that the prince should get used to this sooner so that he can become stronger."
"Hmph!" The Queen Mother snorted coldly, her face full of disdain. "The Emperor wants the harem to be peaceful and harmonious, and he also hopes that the concubines will be jealous of each other. How can he have the best of both worlds? Moreover, even if he is angry, he should not turn a deaf ear to such a major matter concerning the safety of the prince! Besides, the prince is still so young, it won't be too late to get involved in these palace struggles when he is seven or eight years old. What can such a young child understand even if he experiences it? What if he develops a cowardly and timid character because of this, what should we do?"
After all, the empress dowager is an experienced person. She had worked in the harem of the late emperor in her early years and had seen too many princes ruined by court struggles.
The late emperor had a son who was assassinated when he was a child. Since then, he has become a little mentally confused and always feels that everyone around him wants to harm him. He is like a girl in the boudoir on weekdays, never leaving the house. In the end, the late emperor was so angry that he drove him out of the palace, and he ended up with a tragic end.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother frowned even more tightly.
Yunhe was an extremely smart child. When other children were still learning to walk and talk at the age of two, he already had extraordinary talent.
Moreover, he would occasionally come to Yongshou Palace to visit her, and every time she did so, she loved the child very much.
As long as Yunhe doesn't grow up badly, he will definitely be a good emperor in the future!
But now, Zhang Chengyan put him in danger under the banner of doing good to him!
It seems that I should have made a decision earlier...
Should I choose the queen and grandson, or this cruel emperor's son!
The night is as dark as ink and everything is quiet.
Yunhe woke up from his sleep, tears still lingering on his face. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and ran barefoot to Bai Wutong's bedside, crying, "Mother, I had a nightmare. It was so scary. I dreamed that I accidentally bumped into the rocks of the rockery, and my head bled a lot. The pain was so unbearable that I could hardly bear it."
Bai Wutong woke up instantly when he heard his son's voice. He hugged Yunhe tightly in his arms with heartache, patted his back gently, hummed a soft lullaby, and comforted him gently, "Baby, it's okay, it's okay. Dreams are all the opposite, they are all fake. Mother is here, no one can bully you."
Yunhe raised his head with sobs, still a little frightened, "Mother, I heard that the person who wanted to harm me before was Su Zhaoyi, is it true?"
Bai Wutong was slightly startled, and after thinking for a moment, she nodded slowly. She didn't want to hide it from her son, so she decided to let him know as soon as possible so that he could take precautions in the future. "Yes, it's her. So in the future, you can't be as playful as before, understand? No matter what time, you have to have someone by your side. Only in this way, those terrible things in the dream will not really happen."
After hearing this, Yunhe's mouth pursed even more, and her eyes were filled with tears. "Then why didn't father punish Su Zhaoyi, but beat my mother instead?"
He is the crown prince, and news spreads quickly in the palace. Naturally, he had heard about such a big thing.
Bai Wutong sneered, "Because your father is now obsessed with Su Zhaoyi, and he no longer cares about your mother. If Su Zhaoyi has her own child in the future, I'm afraid your father won't even care about you."
"Mother, I don't want you to be like this." Yunhe burst into tears upon hearing this and lay tightly in Bai Wutong's arms, "I don't want you to be wronged."
Bai Wutong gently stroked his head, "Don't be afraid, mother promises you that these things will never happen, absolutely not."
the next day.
Zhang Chengyan asked Wang Decai to send over a bunch of things.
The reward this time was exceptionally generous. In addition to precious gold, silver, and jewelry, there were also many exquisite ornaments, which were obviously priceless at first glance. It was many times better than what was sent last time.
However, Bai Wutong looked at these things without any joy on his face.
What she wanted was never these material things.
She is trapped in this deep palace, what’s the use of having more money?
What she really wanted was justice, and for Zhang Chengyan to stand by Yunhe like a father and protect them mother and son!
It’s okay if you don’t protect yourself, just protect your children.
It’s a pity that he can’t even do such a simple thing!
The more Zhang Chengyan used these things to perfunctorily deal with her, the more disgusted Bai Wutong felt.
Without any hesitation, she ordered everyone to send all the things back intact. "Eunuch Wang, please tell the emperor that I am not interested in these things. I just hope that the children can grow up safely. That's enough."
When Wang Decai heard this, he looked embarrassed and almost cried, "Empress, the emperor didn't sleep well all night because of this matter. If you keep saying this, I'm afraid the emperor will be even more angry."
Bai Wutong looked calm, "Eunuch Wang, this is what I meant. If you think it's hard to convey, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the things have been returned, and the emperor will know it sooner or later."
Seeing that she insisted, Wang Decai had no choice but to accept it. He had to take the things back the same way they were delivered to him.
As for that sentence, he naturally brought it up as well.
Zhang Chengyan was extremely annoyed, "What does she mean by this? She must confront me, right? I have already given her gifts and given her a way out, why does she still want to make me angry! She is indeed a woman with long hair and short knowledge! Does she think that if she protects Yunhe like this, Yunhe will become a talent when he grows up? Only the one who wins the struggle is the prince I really want! Not only does she not understand, but she also abuses my intentions like this! Wang Decai, send these things to Su Zhaoyi!"
"Your Majesty, it's better not to do it..."
"Go! Now even you don't obey my orders, right?"
Wang Decai's face fell and said, "Go, why don't you just go?"
