Chapter 424 You’re really going to be extinct!
Bai Wutong was secretly amazed. He never expected that the Queen Mother had such a back-up plan!
She stood up and bowed, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for telling me. I now understand what to do. Since Yunhe is no longer crying, I will take my leave first."
"Well, you go first." The Queen Mother looked at Bai Wutong's departing back and inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps deep down in her heart, she had long wanted to use others to change her current situation, but she had never met the right person.
Now that Bai Wutong appeared, she told him the secret. No matter what the result was, she had done her best.
Bai Wutong hurriedly left Yongshou Palace. As soon as he returned to Fengyi Palace, he immediately called Chan'er and gave her instructions, "The weather is getting colder and the scenery in the palace is becoming more and more monotonous. Go to the flower room and pick a few pots of flowers to decorate the palace. Be smart and ask the palace maid named Ke Xin to bring them over. Do you understand?"
Chan'er immediately responded crisply, "Yes, Madam."
About half an hour later, several palace maids and eunuchs came hurriedly carrying a few pots of flowers, and Ke Xin stood behind them.
There is indeed some resemblance between her features and Wang Decai's, but it is hard to notice if you don't look closely.
The housekeeper also came with them.
The nanny was extremely concerned about her daughter, fearing that she might accidentally offend the master, so she would always be by her side whenever she had an errand.
"Empress, these are the best pots of flowers in the greenhouse. Please take a look. Are you satisfied?" The nanny said respectfully with a smile on her face.
Bai Wutong looked back and forth between Madam and Ke Xin, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised. Ke Xin, in her eyes and eyebrows, was more like her.
"Not bad." Bai Wutong waved to Ke Xin to bring the flower pot over.
Looking at the beautiful flowers, she felt better.
Ke Xin lowered her head and stood obediently, not daring to breathe, let alone look her in the face.
Bai Wutong studied it for a moment before nodding, "That's all."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Where do you want to place the flowers? I will help you arrange it right away." As the nanny spoke, she took a step forward unnoticed and blocked Ke Xin behind her.
"I'll keep two pots in this inner room, and put the rest in the hall outside. By the way, Chan'er, how many maids are there in our palace who are responsible for taking care of flowers and plants?"
Chan'er immediately stepped forward and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, there is only one left, and he happens to be unwell."
"I see." Bai Wutong nodded slightly and said casually, "In that case, I think this little girl is smart and well-behaved, so let her stay and help me take care of the flowers and plants."
When the nanny heard this, the smile on her face froze instantly, and she looked a little panicked, "I dare not, Madam, this child is too timid and doesn't know the rules. I'm afraid he can't serve you well. I'll help you choose someone else."
"No need for that. I like her, so let her stay." Bai Wutong's tone was gentle, but unquestionable.
"Your servant..."
Chan'er saw that the nanny wanted to say more, so she frowned slightly, with a bit of dissatisfaction in her expression, "What's the matter with you? The Queen values this girl, it's her blessing, how can you refuse? Besides, everyone knows that the Queen is kind and generous, and being able to serve by her side is a blessing that others can't even ask for! As long as you don't make mistakes, you can live a stable life here with the Queen."
Having said that, the nanny dared not argue anymore. She could only kneel on the ground unwillingly and thank Ke Xin together.
When she was about to leave, the nanny kept looking back, her eyes full of worry.
Ke Xin, who had just arrived, was also very nervous. Her hands unconsciously tugged at the corners of her clothes, she was trembling slightly, and even her breathing became a little rapid.
This was her first time serving her master, and facing this unfamiliar environment, she was filled with anxiety.
Bai Wutong saw this and said softly, "Don't be nervous. I just need someone to take care of the flowers and plants. You don't need to serve me all the time. As long as you do your best to take care of these flowers and plants and don't be careless, nothing will go wrong."
Chan'er beside her also quickly agreed, "That's right, the Queen is well-known in this palace for her generosity and kindness. Being able to serve the Queen is a blessing that others can't even ask for, you must cherish it!"
Bai Wutong waved his hand gently, signaling Chan'er to take the others downstairs, and gave them detailed instructions on many matters regarding taking care of the flowers and plants.
Now Ke Xin is under his control. Next, he just needs to wait for Wang Decai's reaction.
…
As the housekeeper stepped out of the gate of Fengyi Palace, her face, which had been trying to be calm, suddenly turned as pale as paper and she looked panicked.
This matter is of no trivial importance!
She immediately sent a clever little eunuch to deliver the letter to Wang Decai in a hurry.
When Wang Decai received the news, he was waiting outside the Palace of Tranquil Longevity with a leisurely expression. When he heard this, the whisk in his hand shook violently and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
He did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly asked for leave from the emperor and went straight to the greenhouse.
As soon as he saw the housekeeper, he couldn't wait to ask, "Ke Xin was left in Fengyi Palace by the Queen!"
The housekeeper stamped her feet anxiously, her eyes reddened, and her voice was filled with tears, "What should I do?"
In contrast, Wang Decai seemed much calmer. He took a deep breath and said, "Don't panic. The Queen is kind-hearted and will never criticize a palace maid casually. As long as Ke Xin is careful in what she says and does and doesn't make a big mistake, there won't be any danger."
However, the nanny refused to listen and retorted emotionally, "How can that be! Ke Xin has never served any master since she was a child. I have always held her in my hands and protected her. Now she is suddenly with the queen. What if she doesn't know the rules and does something wrong? Just think about it, if something unexpected happens, you will really be childless!"
After she finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks.
Although a daughter is not a son, as long as she is well and gives birth to a grandson in the future, Wang Decai's bloodline will continue.
For a person with a special identity like Wang Decai, being able to continue his bloodline is his greatest wish in life.
As for what the child's name will be in the future, he no longer cares.
As long as I can live up to my ancestors, that's enough!
Wang Decai's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he thought of a possibility.
Bai Wutong knew about his relationship with Ke Xin?
No, that's impossible!
He had never taken the initiative to look for Ke Xin. At most, he would just look at her a few more times when they met occasionally. Even the eunuchs closest to him didn't know about it, let alone Bai Wutong.
However... there is another person who knows, and that is the Queen Mother!
Bai Wutong happened to have a very close relationship with the Queen Mother, and now he even gave his own son to the Queen Mother to raise!
