Chapter 50 This is unacceptable
The hour of Hai.
The palace was already dark.
Bai Wutong sat up slowly.
The wound on the back looked horrible, but it no longer hurt.
She got out of bed barefoot, bathed in the moonlight, and came to the side hall.
Lianxin was lying on the bed, not sleeping well, her brows were furrowed, and beads of sweat were faintly visible on her face.
Bai Wutong raised his hand and touched her forehead. "Fortunately, you don't have a fever."
Lian Xin slowly opened her eyes, "My Lady, is it My Lady?"
"It's me." Bai Wutong sat beside the bed, "You suffered today."
"No, I am not suffering." Lian Xin asked anxiously, ignoring the pain, "Madam, are you pregnant with the emperor's heir? Are you safe?"
She was beaten unconscious at the time, but she still heard this incident.
Bai Wutong smiled and nodded, "Yes, I am pregnant and I am keeping the baby. I will definitely give birth to the first heir to the throne in the future."
Very good!
Lian Xin cried with joy, thinking that the beating she received was not in vain. "My queen, please send a message to the master quickly. You are pregnant with the heir. The entire Xun family will rise in the future, and the master's position will definitely be able to move up."
Bai Wutong sighed and stroked her hair, "You are really loyal to the Xun family."
It’s a pity that she can only have one master.
If it is someone else, then it is not yourself.
"I grew up in the Xun family, so I am naturally the most loyal. Madam, if you have an heir in the future, maybe I can become your consort."
Lianxin was already thinking about how she could act proudly in front of others after her injury healed.
Before others knew that she was Bai Wutong's woman, they all raised their noses to the sky.
Now look how proud they are!
Bai Wutong took out a pill and said, "Lianxin, this is the pain-relieving pill I asked the female doctor for. If you take one, you won't feel any pain. But don't move after you take it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lian was in so much pain that she couldn't sleep well at night. Now that she saw the medicine, she swallowed it in one gulp as if she had found a savior.
"I'm going back now, have a good sleep."
Bai Wutong returned to the main hall and closed his eyes to rest.
When I woke up again, it was already bright daylight.
Chan'er came forward to serve, her face was pale and she looked frightened.
"What's wrong?" Bai Wutong took the mouthwash, "But what happened again? You don't have to hide it from me, I can accept it."
thump--!
Chan'er knelt on the ground, "My queen, Lianxin is gone. This morning I went to deliver food and medicine, but I didn't expect...she was dead. My queen, please don't disturb the fetus."
Bai Wutong raised his head and looked at the autumn scenery framed outside the window. "Send her away and bury her properly. Lianxin's family members are all from the Xun family. Ask someone to bring some silver to send them out later and tell them that it was given by me. Lianxin served us very well when she was alive. Tell them to keep it with peace of mind."
The pill last night was indeed given by the doctor, and it does relieve the pain.
But there is a drawback, that is, people who take this medicine must not move at all, so as to avoid the surge of qi and blood, which will be harmful to the wound. The emperor chose a better medicine, so this one remained in her hands.
If Lianxin had lay down well yesterday, not only would the pain have been relieved, but her injuries today would have also been much better.
But she must have wanted to send a message to the Xun family urgently, which led to the accident.
Bai Wutong had already told her not to move. She brought all this upon herself, she can't blame anyone else.
"Yes." Chan'er wiped away her tears.
Although she and Lianxin had a bad relationship and the other party always looked down on her, she felt sad now that the person was really gone.
In this palace, how many palace maids can have a good ending...
Lianxin was gone, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent four more palace maids.
Bai Wutong leaned on the cushion. Wang Decai personally brought someone to him, smiling from ear to ear. "Your servant greets Madam Zhaopin. Today, I am here to deliver the imperial edict and people to you. These are all ordered by the emperor himself. The emperor also ordered that you should not get up because you are heavy. Just know that this imperial edict is for promotion."
Bai Wutong took the imperial edict and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trouble. Please let them come over."
Four palace maids came forward, very well behaved and with standard movements. One could tell at a glance that they were the best.
"This servant greets the Empress Zhaopin."
"No need to be so polite." Bai Wutong liked it more and more as he looked at her. "Everyone, get up. It looks good."
Wang Decai waved his hand, and the eunuchs immediately brought out Zhang Chengyan's reward.
"Empress Zhao, the emperor was worried about you last night and didn't sleep much. If he wasn't busy with government affairs today, he would definitely come to see you. This is a gift from the emperor for you to play with. It has been specially checked by the imperial physician, and there is absolutely no problem."
Bai Wutong picked up a small jade monkey carving and said, "It's really good quality, Chan'er, quickly put the things away."
"Yes." Chan'er stepped forward to take it and went into the inner room.
A moment later, she came out again with a handful of gold leaves in her hand, which she gave to everyone as rewards.
Wang Decai took the money and said, "Thank you for the reward, Madam Zhaopin. I have something else to tell you. Your pregnancy with the heir is a big deal. The emperor is discussing with many other people. For the sake of the heir, he has decided to grant amnesty to the whole country and provide porridge outside the capital for a full 100 days. I only hope that you and the heir will be safe and sound."
"Your Majesty is really worried." Bai Wutong's eyes were full of tenderness as she stroked her belly. "It is my honor to bear your Majesty's child."
"Chan'er, take out all our silver and give it to Eunuch Wang."
"Yes." Chan'er took out the last few dozen taels of silver.
Wang Decai waved his hands quickly, "Madam, this is not allowed."
"Please help me use this money to feed the people. As a mother, I also want to do something for my child. Otherwise, I will always feel uneasy."
Bai Wutong sighed deeply, "Eunuch Wang, you know what the harem is like. I just hope that by doing good deeds, God will bless the child with everything going well and nothing will go wrong."
At this point, Wang Decai could only take over and said, "I will definitely help your majesty and make sure that every penny of this money is spent on the people who really need it."
He retreated to the palace gate and said, "Then I will lead the others to retreat first. Your Majesty, please have a good rest."
at the same time.
The news of the imperial edict spread throughout the harem.
The concubines were shocked.
Although they had heard rumors about what happened yesterday, no imperial edict came down.
Now Lady Bai has been made a concubine and has also been given a title.
This child must have been saved.
Concubine De picked up the teacup and said, "I never thought that the first pregnant person in the harem would be the skinniest white beauty. She is really a person who never reveals his true colors."
The maids beside her were worried. Defei was the oldest and not favored by the emperor. Now that the new bride was pregnant, their future life might be even more difficult. "Your Majesty, now that Zhaopin is pregnant with the emperor's heir, I'm afraid it won't be long before she can be promoted to the position of concubine."
"Don't worry." De Fei smiled slightly, not worried at all. "Getting pregnant is a skill, but whether you can give birth to a child requires not only skill but also luck. There are more than 20 concubines in the harem, how many can she hide from? I have seen through the emperor a long time ago. He is heartless and cold-hearted. If the royal heir is gone, I am afraid that Zhaopin's good days will be over."
