Chapter 434 I hope the emperor won’t blame me
Wang Decai thought about it carefully and felt that what he said made sense!
Yes, the nanny and I have always protected Ke Xin too well, so that even in this complicated palace, she is still as pure as a blank sheet of paper.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Your relationship with her will remain secret for now. Since Ke Xin doesn't know about it yet, don't take the initiative to get close to her. Just watch from a distance. It happens that I can see outside from here, so just stand there for a while and take a good look."
"Yes, thank you for your understanding."
Before Bai Wutong knew this secret, Wang Decai had no chance to take a good look at Ke Xin's condition.
Every time we met, we were in a hurry and just asked a few simple questions, for fear of being noticed by others.
Unexpectedly, after Bai Wutong came, he created such an opportunity for him.
Half an hour later.
Wang Decai guessed that Zhang Chengyan was about to wake up, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Not long after he returned to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, Zhang Chengyan actually woke up.
He immediately walked quickly into the inner hall and served carefully.
Zhang Chengyan's illness this time could be mild or severe. In order to ensure that the dragon body recovers completely, he must be carefully nursed back to health.
He was also very cooperative, lying in bed obediently every day, and had no time to pay attention to other things.
Even before Wang Decai entered the hall, he had to wait inside for a while, waiting for the cold air on his body to dissipate, before he dared to walk forward cautiously.
"The Queen hasn't come today yet?" Zhang Chengyan would ask this question almost every day.
Wang Decai handed over a cup of warm Biluochun tea, "Yes, Your Majesty, the Queen hasn't come yet. But I just went to Fengyi Palace and heard that the Queen was ill and was afraid that she would infect you with the disease, so she didn't come to visit."
Zhang Chengyan's frown relaxed immediately upon hearing this. He raised his hand to take the drink and drank it all in one gulp. "What's wrong with you? Is it serious?"
"Your Majesty, it's nothing serious, I just caught a cold."
Hearing this, Zhang Chengyan felt much more relieved.
As long as he has a reasonable reason, he can convince himself that his choice is right!
The queen still cares about him in her heart.
He married his first queen out of necessity because of the power of the family behind her.
But the second queen, Bai Wutong, was someone he truly loved and was chosen by himself.
He hopes that this feeling is sincere and pure.
He really couldn't imagine that not long after he became queen, he found out that Bai Wutong's feelings for him were fake. Didn't that mean that he, the emperor, had made a mistake and became a laughing stock of the whole world?
Haven’t all those touching moments and sweetness before become a ridiculous joke?
"Tell the imperial physician to go to Fengyi Palace more often and keep an eye on the queen's condition."
"Yes, I understand. I will give the order right away."
Because Zhang Chengyan was ill, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was particularly deserted in the palace. There was none of the lively and festive atmosphere of the past, and a sense of depression was everywhere.
Bai Wutong was happy to have a leisurely life, living his own little life every day.
Every time Chan'er came to serve, she always looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Just say what you want to say, don't hesitate."
"Your Majesty...it's been so long, why haven't you gone to see the Emperor?"
"I've caught a cold, why would I want to join in the fun? Didn't you see that I didn't ask Yunhe to come over these past two days? If you're free, go and take care of other things in the palace. By the way, did Concubine Su go to serve the emperor again today?"
Chan'er nodded quickly, "Su Zhaoyi goes there every day, very diligently. Once she enters the Yangxin Palace, she won't come out for more than half a day."
"How is the emperor's condition?"
“It’s slowly getting better.”
Getting better?
That’s not necessarily true!
Bai Wutong thought about it but didn't say it out loud. He just replied calmly, "It's okay as long as it gets better. By the way, I asked you to tell the imperial kitchen to make more food that the emperor likes. Tell them that they don't have to follow my orders anymore. Just make whatever the emperor wants to eat. If there's anything Concubine Su wants to eat, make it for her as well."
"Yes, I understand."
Now Chan'er has learned her lesson and no longer asks any more questions. No matter what decision Bai Wutong makes, she just does it.
Another half month passed.
Zhang Chengyan's health finally recovered completely.
The previous symptoms of facial paralysis have long disappeared, and the whole person looks radiant and rosy-cheeked.
In fact, because I took good care of myself during this period, I'm a little fatter than before I got sick.
It was only then that Bai Wutong finally arrived.
She didn't want to stay and serve Zhang Chengyan in the first place, but now that he has recovered from his illness, she can finally show up.
After a long time, she stepped into the Yangxin Palace again. When she saw Zhang Chengyan, she immediately bowed down with a guilty look on her face, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I caught a cold a few days ago and I was afraid that I would pass the disease on to Your Majesty, so I didn't dare to come to visit. I hope Your Majesty won't blame me."
Zhang Chengyan was still a little angry, his expression was cold, "Get up and sit next to me."
After many days, the two met face to face again and looked into each other's eyes.
Bai Wutong then realized that compared to when he first entered the palace, Zhang Chengyan was much less high-spirited and energetic.
Not only that, compared to the previous two years, he looked much older.
Yes, the body has problems one after another. No matter how much you take care of it and nourish it, once the foundation is damaged, some things cannot be restored.
Bai Wutong seemed not to notice, and remained calm. She even poured him a cup of Biluochun, "Your Majesty, I was at fault this time. From now on, I am willing to stay by your side and serve you attentively to make up for my previous mistakes."
Zhang Chengyan's gloomy face softened a little after hearing this. "Okay, since you have this intention, then stay."
Su Zhaoyi's expression at the side suddenly turned extremely ugly, and her originally pretty face became a little gloomy.
I have been guarding the emperor day and night, serving him tirelessly for so long, and finally the emperor has recovered. But Bai Wutong shows up at this time and says he wants to stay and serve. It is obvious that he is here to steal the credit!
No wonder Bai Wutong had been indifferent to the emperor's illness before, neither showing up to visit him nor stopping herself from serving him. It turned out that she had been planning this for a long time, and had been waiting in secret to reap the benefits!
Su Zhaoyi was not willing to give up the credit to anyone else. She quickly adjusted her mood, twisted her body, and sat on the other side of Zhang Chengyan.
She pouted her lips slightly, her eyes were red, and her face was full of resentment. "Your Majesty, during the time you were sick, I did not dare to slack off for a moment. I stayed by your side day and night and took care of you carefully without taking off my clothes. How come when the Queen came, Your Majesty forgot all my efforts, I feel sad!"
Zhang Chengyan naturally knew her contribution and held her hand, "Don't worry, I won't forget it. You have served me for so long and must be tired. You can take over as the queen."
