Chapter 55 I don’t want to say
Jin Mansion.
"Master, there is a letter for you."
"Send it in."
The servant entered cautiously and handed over the secret letter with both hands.
Jin Zhi took it and looked at it carefully.
It seems that Bai Wutong really loves me. She has already started packing her luggage and even has a lukewarm attitude towards the emperor, as if she wants to stay away from him.
It is probably because of the imperial power that she became pregnant.
He closed the secret letter and lit the candle.
As the flames spread, the paper completely turned into ashes.
Jin Zhi stood up and walked outside, calling his subordinates, "Let's go into the palace. I should also discuss with the emperor about the Queen Mother's birthday banquet in a few days. In order to prevent any bad guys from doing anything wrong, it's best for me to be responsible for the safety of the palace in the next few days."
The palace walls stand tall.
Outside Zhaochun Palace, Wang Decai told Xiao Ningzi, "You must remember what Concubine Zhao likes to eat, and tell the imperial kitchen later. The emperor heard that Concubine Zhao has a poor appetite and has been anxious recently."
Xiao Ningzi agreed repeatedly, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely remember it well."
Wang Decai raised his head and looked into the hall.
Seeing how quiet it is, I guess it will take a while for the Emperor to come out.
Just as he was about to lean against the wall and laze around, a stern shout came over him, "Call the female doctor quickly! No, call the imperial physician as well!"
Wang Decai stood up straight abruptly, his heart burning with anxiety, wondering if something had happened to Concubine Zhao. "Xiao Ningzi, go quickly!"
The female doctor and the imperial physicians rushed over without stopping.
Zhang Chengyan hugged Bai Wutong tightly and said, "Come and check Zhaopin's pulse. How could her morning sickness be so severe?"
Not only was he unable to swallow his food, he was also dizzy and nauseous, and he even vomited twice in a row just now.
I heard from the palace maids that what he vomited was all clear water and there was nothing else to vomit.
The respected old doctor came forward to feel Bai Wutong's pulse, which was a little disorderly. Then he looked at Bai Wutong's face, which was as pale as paper, which made people feel pity.
His eyes were fixed on the clothes on Bai Wutong and he narrowed his eyes slightly. There seemed to be something wrong with the red.
He leaned over and took a closer look, his face suddenly changed, "My Lady, please take off this dress!"
Bai Wutong raised his head weakly, "Is there anything wrong with this dress?"
"If I am not mistaken, this dress is soaked in safflower!"
Safflower is a very cold substance and is extremely harmful to pregnant women. Frequent contact with it may lead to infertility. Even if you get pregnant, the fetus will be unstable.
Chan'er and a few others quickly stepped forward, hung the curtain, and the imperial doctors also left first.
A moment later, she came to the imperial physician holding clothes.
After examining it, several imperial doctors with gray hair looked at each other and said, "It is definitely red flower."
The female doctor next to her also went to take a look and became more certain.
"Your Majesty, after checking with the ministers, we have determined that this substance has been soaked in safflower, but the soaking time was short, so no serious consequences were caused."
Zhang Chengyan took a deep breath and suppressed the rage in his heart. "I have only just had an heir, and someone is already impatient to take action. If I find out who it is, I will punish him severely!"
He turned his head and stroked the top of Bai Wutong's head. His tone was gentle, fearing that he would scare the person in front of him. "Wutong, tell me, who sent this dress? Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."
Bai Wutong lowered her eyes and bit her lips tightly, "I... don't want to say it. The person who sent the clothes treated me very well. Before I could serve the emperor, she often came to visit me. She is one of the few friends I have in this palace."
She raised her soft hands and gently held Zhang Chengyan's hand, pleading, "Your Majesty, she must have been thinking wrongly when she sent me this clothing. She just knew that I was pregnant and she was jealous. This is human nature. If someone else was pregnant, I would also be jealous. I only ask Your Majesty not to pursue the matter."
Zhang Chengyan felt more and more pity for her. When others wanted to harm her, she could still make excuses for them.
She is so kind and innocent, no one in the harem can compare to her.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Bai Wutong started to act coquettishly, "I beg the emperor, please, okay?"
"Okay, okay, I can't bear to see you like this." Zhang Chengyan felt sorry for her, but he didn't want to scare her. "I'll listen to you this time. If she does it again, I won't let her off easily."
Bai Wutong leaned on his palm and said, "Your Majesty loves me the most."
Zhang Chengyan rubbed her face, "You should take a rest. Come here, check Zhaochun Palace thoroughly today. Find all the things that are harmful to the heir to the throne. Don't leave anything out, even things that are incompatible with the heir."
"Yes." The imperial doctors responded and began searching in cooperation with the palace servants.
"Your Majesty, this string of glass beads is stained with something bad."
"Your Majesty, this coral ornament has a secret compartment inside, and cold items are placed inside."
"emperor……"
A full hour later.
A pile of objects were placed in front of Zhang Chengyan.
These are all harmful to pregnant women.
From small items like jewellery to large items like decorative screens.
Zhang Chengyan's eyes were cold, and he laughed out of anger, "When Concubine Zhao came into the palace, she didn't bring many things. These were the rewards given to her later. I can't believe that there are so many of them. It seems that there are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this harem. Come on, find the people who sent these things to me!"
He didn't care before because he didn't want to.
Anyway, none of the concubines are pregnant, and it would be tiring to control them too much.
Now that we have a royal heir, we have to take care of it!
When the news reached the Queen Mother, she rushed over as fast as she could and only breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the imperial physician say that the crown prince was safe.
She sat on the other side of Zhang Chengyan and said in a cold voice, "Emperor, I know how dangerous the struggles in the harem are. The previous emperor lost eight children, and the murderers of six of them have not been found. In my opinion, if you want to put an end to this, you must strengthen the guards of Zhaochun Palace so that not even a fly can get in."
Zhang Chengyan nodded, "Mother, what you said makes sense."
"I suggest that you place more of your people here instead of just sending guards. Who knows if they have been bribed? Only those around you are the most reliable. As for those who sent gifts, I will punish them. The emperor should not punish them severely, otherwise it will backfire and bring more trouble to Concubine Zhao."
Zhang Chengyan immediately gave orders and even selected two secret guards to protect Bai Wutong.
The secret guards are peerless masters passed down from generation to generation in the royal family. Apart from the emperor, it is difficult for anyone else to see them.
Even if it is protected, it is hidden in the dark and ordinary people cannot find it at all.
After taking care of everything and making sure there were no omissions, Zhang Chengyan left with the Queen Mother.
Bai Wutong was lying on the couch, eating apricots leisurely.
Look, there's no way to leave now.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to leave, but the emperor doesn’t give her the chance to leave.
Three days later, it was useless even if Jin Zhi came in person.
Because the people here are not Jin Zhi’s people, but the emperor’s own people.
She turned over and fell asleep comfortably.
At night, she deliberately got out of bed and pretended to fall.
A black shadow quickly flew down from the air and hugged her slender waist.
Bai Wutong looked up and saw that it was actually a woman, but her face was covered with a black veil, revealing only a pair of clear eyes.
She put Bai Wutong on the bed and disappeared again.
Unexpectedly, this secret guard actually includes a woman.
It seems that I am being watched all the time. I have to be more careful from now on.
Dawn was breaking.
Chan Er heard her name coming from the room and immediately pushed the door open, "My Lady, you woke up really early."
Bai Wutong asked her to squat down, leaned over to whisper, and at the same time stuffed the note in his hand into her sleeve, "Put this thing on the third stone outside the imperial kitchen. If that Ziyuan follows you, pretend you don't know."
Chan'er didn't understand, but she still remembered what Bai Wutong said at first.
Don't be curious, don't ask too many questions, just do it.
She pretended nothing had happened, "Madam, if you want to eat apricots, just tell me, I will get them right away."
