Chapter 68 You are so depressed
Two more days passed.
The Queen Mother's birthday has passed.
As Zhang Chengyan was injured and unable to return to the palace, the empress dowager had to temporarily cancel the birthday banquet and discuss it again after returning to the palace.
Bai Wutong saw that the time was almost up, so he sat down on the stone bench in the yard dejectedly, propping up his chin and watching the birds flying in the sky.
Two guards carried Zhang Chengyan out to bask in the sun.
Seeing Bai Wutong, Zhang Chengyan asked softly, "But the food doesn't suit your appetite? Or is your morning sickness too severe?"
Bai Wutong shook her head, "Neither, I was just looking at the birds in the sky. Your Majesty, you see, they can fly in the sky just by spreading their wings. They can go wherever they want. How enviable."
Zhang Chengyan understood, "I know, you are so depressed."
Yes, this Huguo Temple is still small after all. It can't compare to the palace and there is nothing to kill time.
Bai Wutong forced a smile and pretended to be sensible, "Your Majesty, I am not bored. As long as I can be with Your Majesty, every moment is good."
But her eyes were still on the bird, and anyone could see her envy and yearning.
Zhang Chengyan felt sorry for her and also for the baby in her belly. The imperial physician once said that although the crown prince seemed to be fine, after all, so many things had happened to him, so he must be more careful and cautious than ordinary people.
Especially for pregnant women, it is necessary to supplement nutrition and keep a happy mood.
He held Bai Wutong's small hand and pulled her into his arms.
The soft impact from the chest made Zhang Chengyan, who had been silent for a long time, feel a little moved. "If you make me happy, I will make you happy too. How about that?"
"Your Majesty, how can I make you happy?"
Zhang Chengyan's eyes fell on her lips, his eyes darkened, "What do you think?"
Bai Wutong's pretty face blushed slightly, and she raised her almond-shaped eyes to look at him. After a long time, she mustered up the courage and gently kissed the corner of his mouth, "This can always... um!"
Zhang Chengyan held the back of her head and deepened the kiss.
Outside the courtyard.
Jin Zhi slowly turned his head, exerted a little force with his hands, and the fruit broke, and the cold juice flowed through his fingers.
His heart seemed to be getting more and more confused.
a long time.
Zhang Chengyan finally let go.
Bai Wutong leaned in his arms, panting softly, "Your Majesty, I almost can't breathe."
"I have taught you many times, but you still can't learn it."
"Your Majesty, are you happy now?"
"I am very happy." Zhang Chengyan hugged her slender waist, "It is really boring to stay in the Huguo Temple every day. How about I take you down the mountain to have a look?"
Bai Wutong jumped for joy, but soon calmed down, "Your Majesty, your legs..."
"It's okay. I'm sitting in a carriage and I won't get off."
Bai Wutong immediately went into the side room, changed into a light green dress, and did not forget to put on a veil to cover up the face that brought disaster to the country and the people.
Seeing her so happy, Zhang Chengyan was also in a good mood and called Jin Zhi to drive.
The three of them went down the mountain together.
Bai Wutong lifted the curtain and pretended to look at the scenery, but in fact he was paying attention to what was happening outside.
“Oh—”
Jin Zhi pulled the reins, his eyes fixed on the front.
After a while, an out-of-control horse came running down the mountain.
A young man was sitting on the horse, his face pale with fear, "Get out of the way! This horse is crazy!"
There was a woman in front of the horse, stumbling over, "Save me!"
Bai Wutong was simply disgusted. She thought Xun Mingzhi would find some clever way to send the person over, but after all this time, it turned out to be such a clichéd story of a hero saving a damsel in distress.
But it's also true that with Xun Mingzhi's brain, there's no way he could come up with a good idea.
If he could really figure it out, he wouldn't have done the stupid thing of sending someone into the palace.
Jin Zhi looked at the woman, unmoved.
The same goes for Zhang Chengyan. His leg was injured and there was no way he would resort to violence for an outsider.
Seeing that the horse's hoof was about to fall on the woman, Bai Wutong could only shout, "Master Jin, save her!"
Jin Zhi flew up and slashed his sword across the horse's hooves.
The horses neighed and fell to the ground with a bang.
The woman sat on the ground, gasping for breath, her face pale with fear.
Bai Wutong's eyes fell on her. She did look very similar to himself, with a slender figure and good looks. No wonder Xun Mingzhi was confident that he could get her into the palace to win favor.
The woman reacted, quickly got up, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Thank you for saving my life!"
She was talking to Dawn, but her eyes were fixed on the carriage.
Bai Wutong shook his head. This woman was so stupid.
The person who saved her was Jin Zhi. She did not thank Jin Zhi but stared at the carriage. Zhang Chengyan was not a fool. How could he not see that this woman might have other intentions.
The woman shed tears, looking pitiful, "I have no one left at home, I am willing to be a slave, I only ask you to keep me!"
Zhang Chengyan looked at the woman, then at Bai Wutong, "Let's go."
The woman panicked, "If the master doesn't accept me, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive."
She covered her face and sobbed, "I have offended the nobleman down the mountain. If I go back, I will definitely be sent to a filthy place like a brothel."
Bai Wutong rubbed his brows and said, "Your Majesty, she is too pitiful. Why don't you just let her stay?"
Zhang Chengyan held her hand and said, "This person suddenly appeared and may have other intentions. We should be careful and not expose our identities."
"I know, but I can't stand watching her get into trouble. If she is really dishonest, it won't be too late to deal with her then."
Seeing her insistence, Zhang Chengyan nodded, "Okay, then stay."
"Your Majesty, after something like this happened, I don't want to go down the mountain anymore. It would be terrible if we ran into danger. Shall we go back?"
Zhang Chengyan agreed, "Jin Zhi, go back."
The woman got up and looked at the carriage eagerly, wanting to get in.
Jin Zhi looked at her coldly and said, "Follow me."
This woman's eyes are full of ambition. Her acting is so poor. Does she really think others can't see it?
Only Bai Wutong is too kind to believe this flawed excuse.
The carriage returned to the Huguo Temple.
The Bai Wutong woman stayed behind, "Chan'er, take her to wash up."
"Thank you, young lady. My name is Yan Mei." The woman saluted, looking well-behaved. "Young lady, today is all thanks to you. I will tell the master when I send a message back to the Xun Mansion."
Bai Wutong waved his hand and said, "Go wash up first, we can talk later if you have anything to say."
Half an hour later.
The woman came back, changed into a clean dress, and looked quite pretty after dressing up.
She was obviously very confident about her appearance and looked at Bai Wutong secretly.
Bai Wutong was too lazy to talk to her, "Now it seems that the emperor doesn't seem to be interested in you. You can stay with me. I will try my best to create opportunities for you. Whether you can succeed or not depends on yourself."
"Yes, don't worry, Miss. Since the Emperor likes you, he will definitely like me."
idiot.
How can you say such a thing?
Bai Wutong was completely no longer on guard against her. This brainless thing wouldn't stay long.
Chan'er was even more blunt, "Your Majesty, she calls you Miss. She is pretending not to know your and the emperor's identities. She is really good at acting. Does she really think that the emperor can't see that she is pretending?"
Night falls.
Zhang Chengyan was worried that Bai Wutong was in a bad mood, so he came to have dinner with her.
Chan'er was serving the dishes on the side.
Suddenly, her hand trembled and the food fell on the table, "Master, I was wrong."
Bai Wutong frowned slightly, "Chan'er, your hand is injured, go down first. Yan Mei, can you help serve the dishes first?"
Yan Mei knew the opportunity had come, and she stepped forward with a twist of her hips, "I will."
