Chapter 72 This is God's Will
Have a good night.
Bai Wutong got up early and went to the yard to breathe fresh air.
When she was still a raccoon slave, she could absorb the essence of the sun and the moon.
Now she could only feel it. There was no change in her body. Except for her demon body, she was exactly the same as a human being.
A tall figure walked through the thick fog and came in front of her.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Bai Wutong boldly approached and said, "Master Jin, why did you come so early today? What's the matter?"
"I sent Yan Mei back."
Bai Wutong frowned slightly, "Sent back alive?"
"Yes, the emperor ordered me to beat him to death, but I held back and sent someone to send him back to the Xun family, so that Xun Ming would know what happened and also give him a message. This way, he would never dare to send anyone in again."
Bai Wutong understood that with Jin Zhi's help, which was the finishing touch, it was not just killing two birds with one stone, but killing three birds with one stone.
Get rid of Yan Mei so that the emperor will not dare to favor others, and finally warn Xun Mingzhi.
She raised her eyes, full of admiration, "Master Jin, you are so smart to come up with such a good idea."
She bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, Master Jin. I am very grateful."
"There's no need to be so polite, Concubine Zhao." Jin Zhi raised the corners of his mouth, unconsciously revealing a smile.
He put down the fruit in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, take good care of your pregnancy and don't get upset again. If the emperor still wants to favor someone else, I will be there to give some advice on today's matter."
"Jin Zhi, thank you, please wait a moment."
Bai Wutong went back into the house, took out the purse she had embroidered herself, held it in both hands, and said shyly, "Master Jin, this is for you. I embroidered it myself, and it contains precious spices. Wearing it with you can help you calm your mind."
Jin Zhi took it. The light purse felt heavy in his hand. "Thank you, Madam. I'll leave first."
Watching Jin Zhi's leaving back, Bai Wutong felt for the first time the benefits of having someone to help him.
Jin Zhi is really a smart man. He thought of things that I didn’t think of, and he helped to do them.
Chan'er stepped forward and said, "My lady, I will help you wash up."
"good."
Chan'er couldn't help but look back at the courtyard gate.
This Lord Jin always comes here, and his relationship with the Empress must be special!
After Zhang Chengyan got up, he went to find Bai Wutong first and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"
"Your Majesty, I slept very well."
"That's good. I specially asked someone to prepare your favorite breakfast. Let's eat together."
Bai Wutong saw that he wanted to make amends, so he just endured it.
After breakfast, Zhang Chengyan returned to the wing room and called Jin Zhi, "My legs are better now, so I can hurry on my way. Pack up, and we will return to the palace tomorrow."
"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao..."
"She will not go back. She will stay in the Huguo Temple to take care of her pregnancy. When the crown prince is three months old and the pregnancy is stable, I will send someone to pick her up."
Jin Zhi lowered his eyes, "Yes."
The news soon reached Bai Wutong's ears.
She picked up the hawthorn cake and put it in her mouth. In recent days, she did prefer sour food.
Chan'er beside her poured hawthorn tea and said, "My queen, it's a good thing that you stay in Huguo Temple. At least you don't have to worry about the calculations of those people in the palace."
"No, I want to go back." Staying alone in this Huguo Temple is a waste of time.
There is still nearly a month before the royal heir in my belly will be three months old.
During this time, she would rather stay in the palace and think about how to deal with Concubine Jin and avenge her blood feud.
"Chan'er, go tell Master Jin that I want him to come to my room this afternoon for a chat."
"This..." Chan'er's hand trembled and the teapot almost fell to the ground.
It would be fine if we met in the morning and evening, but we have to meet again in the afternoon. It would be troublesome if the emperor found out.
Bai Wutong glanced at her calmly and said, "Master Jin is a very good helper. If I can build a good relationship with him, I can let him do many things for me in the future. You must remember what I said, keep everything to yourself and don't speculate casually."
Chan'er quickly lowered her head and said, "Yes, Madam, I was wrong. I will go and tell you right away."
In the afternoon.
Zhang Chengyan takes a lunch break.
Jin Zhi found an excuse to send the nearby guards on patrol, and then carefully entered the room.
Bai Wutong leaned on the couch, her delicate hands supporting her cheeks.
Seeing someone coming, she couldn't help but show joy on her face, but it was soon replaced by sadness, "Master Jin, you are here."
"What's the matter, madam?"
"I don't want to stay in the Huguo Temple. I want to go back to the palace with the emperor. Please ask Lord Jin to find a few people to assassinate me tonight and let the emperor know that this Huguo Temple is not safe. Then he will take me back to the palace."
"Why? It's safer to stay here." Jin Zhi was puzzled. If he returned to the palace, he would have to face the schemes of many concubines.
Bai Wutong sighed, "Master Jin, you don't know that although it is dangerous in the palace, at least the emperor and the queen mother are protecting us. Outside, even if there are more guards, how can we guarantee absolute safety? I don't know how many eyes are staring at me now. Those who don't want to have an heir are not only the concubines vying for favor, but also those people outside."
"Who can guarantee that they won't attack me?" Bai Wutong said sincerely, his worry evident in his words. "If something really happens, there are imperial doctors, manpower, and high-quality medicines in the palace that can prolong my life, but it's not enough here."
Jin Zhi pondered and felt that what she said did make some sense.
Not to mention those princes who are away from home, even the mother's families of those concubines would probably take the risk.
If there was already an imperial heir in the harem, Bai Wutong might be safer.
But she is the only one who is pregnant in these years, which has disrupted the balance of the entire palace. I am afraid there will be many dangers in the future.
Moreover, the emperor did not intend to let him stay, but instead sent other people to be responsible for Bai Wutong's safety, which also increased the risk.
"Okay, I'll arrange it, but it might be dangerous to do so."
Bai Wutong stroked her belly and said, "Don't worry, my baby won't fall out. After going through so many things, he has stayed in my belly. This is God's will."
As long as she wants to protect it, it will never fall.
I've had miscarriages several times these days, and it was all her doing.
Having said this, Jin Zhi no longer had any objections.
Night falls.
The entire temple was shrouded in darkness.
Bai Wutong was lying on the couch, and a dark shadow rolled in.
She opened her eyes and a scream cut through the air.
Zhang Chengyan suddenly woke up, "Someone come quickly!"
Jin Zhi immediately led his men into the wing room.
There was a sound of weapons clashing.
a long time.
Jin Zhi walked out of the wing room and bowed to Zhang Chengyan, "Your Majesty, there were thieves trying to assassinate Concubine Zhao. Fortunately, she was not asleep and had a dagger under her pillow to protect herself, which bought her time. Those thieves are highly skilled and good at escaping. I have sent people to chase them and try to bring them back alive to find out who is behind it."
Zhang Chengyan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly entered the side room.
After the last assassination, he had no doubts.
Before it was Prince Anfu, and this time who knows which prince it will be.
Nowadays, there are many people who don’t want to see him have descendants.
Bai Wutong leaned on the bed, breathing softly, holding the dagger tightly in both hands, and had not yet recovered from the shock.
When she saw Zhang Chengyan, she cried and hugged his strong body, "Your Majesty, I am so scared."
Zhang Chengyan patted her back and said, "Don't be afraid. I didn't expect there would be assassins. It seems that this Huguo Temple is not safe. You will return to the palace with me tomorrow."
Bai Wutong glanced at Jin Zhi secretly, with curved eyebrows and eyes, like a cunning little fox.
There were tears on her face, but she smiled at him so wantonly in front of the emperor.
Jin Zhi's heart skipped a beat.
He seemed to be completely lost.
