Chapter 91 You are too kind
The wind and snow were howling.
Bai Wutong was wrapped in a thick brocade quilt and carried by eunuchs.
Lin Sheng walked in front, leading the way silently.
All along the way, all you could see were drifting snowflakes.
Bai Wutong closed his eyes tightly and continued to pretend that he was still unconscious.
After an unknown amount of time, she was placed in a warm room.
The beating heart like a drum finally slowly returned to normal.
Lin Sheng said to Chan Er, "We'll leave first."
Chan'er grabbed a handful of gold leaves and said, "Master Lin, thank you."
Lin Sheng waved his hand without taking it, and led his people away.
A long time passed.
Bai Wutong slowly opened his eyes.
Chan'er had been accompanying her all along. When she saw her wake up, she rushed over crying, "My Lady, you finally woke up. Do you still feel uncomfortable?"
"I feel much better now." Bai Wutong looked at the yellow flower tree above his head, calmed his mind, and carefully recalled what had just happened.
The mastermind behind this was linking one thing to another and even used letters to slander her, and it was obvious that he was aiming to kill her.
Bai Wutong clutched the quilt tightly. From today on, she would be more careful.
Absolutely, absolutely, I will never let today's scene happen again!
Chan'er wanted to speak, but Bai Wutong waved his hand, motioning her to go out first.
Now I don’t know whether the secret guard is still there, so I must be careful and never give anyone a chance to find fault with me.
But Jin Weige was beyond her expectations.
The same acupuncture technique, and the spices that should have been replaced by Jin Zhi, both gave her a glimmer of hope.
If anything had gone wrong today, she would have died in the Yangxin Palace.
Bai Wutong closed his eyes, feeling mixed emotions, and did not fall asleep until dawn.
When she woke up again, it was already noon.
Chan'er hurriedly brought hot water, "My Lady, I will help you wash up."
"What's going on today?"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty said that you are weak, so you should stay in Zhaochun Palace and don't go out. This morning, Eunuch Wang brought people over and closed the palace door. He said that you can only enter and cannot leave."
It is said to be for health care, but in fact it is just house arrest.
Forget it. Now she is powerless even if she wants to.
Trying to please the Emperor and improve our relationship at this time would be asking for trouble.
She should stay in Zhaochun Palace and not go out for the time being.
But it’s better this way, at least it means I’m safe for the time being. What happened yesterday is temporarily over. As the New Year is approaching, no one will probably mention it again.
For seven days.
Zhang Chengyan never set foot into the harem.
The incident involving Bai Wutong made him feel bad, and he had no intention of favoring any concubine.
It gets dark very quickly in winter. At the hour of You, only the outline of the palace wall can be seen outside.
Wang Decai stepped into the palace and shook off the snow on his body at the door. After the coldness had dissipated a lot, he walked forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to turn over the cards."
The young eunuch came forward holding the sign.
Wang Decai whispered, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother sent a message saying that Lady Duan and Lady Wen are both suitable."
Zhang Chengyan's eyes wandered over the two names for a moment, "Then let's go with Lady Wen."
A few days ago in the Yangxin Palace, Wen Chuyun seemed to be thinner than before, and looked more handsome and clean.
"yes."
An hour later.
Several eunuchs came in and placed Wen Chuyun on the large dragon bed.
Zhang Chengyan walked to the bed and lifted the quilt.
Wen Chuyun lowered her eyes shyly, her cheeks flushed.
The exposed skin was as white as porcelain, her belly was much flatter than before, and even her waist could be seen a little bit. Although she was far from being as slender and graceful as Bai Wutong, she was much better than other concubines.
"You've lost a lot of weight."
Wen Chuyun bit her cherry lips lightly and looked up at him. Her eyes were full of light, and under the candlelight, they were incredibly beautiful.
This expression is surprisingly similar to that of Concubine Zhao.
"As long as the emperor likes it."
"Well, go to sleep."
Zhang Chengyan got on the dragon bed and hugged her gently.
A beautiful night.
The second day.
Wen Chuyun woke up early and helped Zhang Chengyan change his clothes.
Nourished, her whole face was rosy.
Seeing her well-behaved appearance, Zhang Chengyan couldn't help but think of Bai Wutong.
At the beginning, she served me in the same way.
It's rare to meet someone so pleasing to the eye, but it turns out that he has an unclear relationship with his own ministers.
He looked at Wen Chuyun and Bai Wutong, who had similar eyebrows and eyes, and said, "I'll find you again tonight."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
In the next few days, Wen Chuyun slept with him every night.
Early in the morning, Xu Yao stood at the gate of Tianxiang Garden, standing on tiptoe and waiting.
Seeing the familiar figure, she hurriedly greeted him, "Sister Wen, you're back. I made some cakes today and saved them for you to taste."
"No need." Wen Chuyun still remembered how Xu Yao avoided her like the plague some days ago.
I just went to the cold palace for a short while, and when I came back, everyone left and the world ignored me.
People like Xu Yao are not worthy of standing with her.
"Sister Wen..."
Wen Chuyun ignored her and entered the palace with the help of the palace maid.
Xu Yao felt upset. If she had been nicer to her at the beginning, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out like this.
Unfortunately, it's too late to do anything now...
Wen Chuyun entered the hall and saw two braziers placed there. "It's warmer today than in the past few days."
"Of course." Cuiwei's face was full of joy. "Your Highness, you are now the most favored concubine of the Emperor. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has always been considerate of people, and has already added an extra brazier. When your Highness has a child, it will definitely be better than that of Concubine Zhao. The heir in her belly has been in labor for many times, and even if she is born, it may not be a good thing."
Wen Chuyun was very pleased with what he said. She sat in front of the bronze mirror and raised her hand to touch her face. "Sure enough, the emperor is tired of ordinary beauties and likes the unique type like Zhaopin. You will help me put on makeup every day in the future, especially my eyebrows and eyes. The more similar I am to Bai Wutong, the better."
No matter what method is used, as long as it can gain the emperor's favor, it is a good method.
Another night.
It was Duan Chunrou's turn to serve in the emperor's bedchamber.
Chun Xing was delighted and hurried to prepare, "Your Majesty, I will help you wash and dress, and I will definitely make the emperor fall in love with you overnight."
"No, just reply and tell him that I seem to have caught a cold and cannot sleep with you for the time being, so as not to pass on the disease to the emperor."
Chun Xing was stunned. "My queen, you don't have a cold, why did you tell Eunuch Wang like this? If so, you won't be able to sleep with me, right?"
"I just don't want to sleep with you." Duan Chunrou picked up the book, "Sleeping with you now would be like adding insult to injury for Concubine Zhao."
Chun Xing stamped her feet, "Your Majesty, you don't remember the favor you showed me at the palace banquet that day, do you? You spoke up for her, and maybe you offended someone, but that's how you repaid the favor. Your Majesty, in this harem, the emperor's favor is the most important thing. You're being so calculating, it's not worth it!"
Duan Chunrou turned a page and said, "That is a drug that can kill off your offspring. If I had drunk it, I would never have gotten pregnant again. The kindness that Concubine Zhao showed me cannot be offset by just one sentence. Okay, you don't have to say anything more. I have made up my mind."
No matter how reluctant Chun Xing was, she had no choice but to refuse.
In the end, the person who slept with him became Wen Chuyun.
When she came back, her mouth was pouted so much that a bottle of oil could be hung on it. "Look, the favor has been snatched away by Lady Wen again. Who knows how proud she is now. Madam, you are just too kind-hearted."
Duan Chunrou closed the storybook. She was not a kind-hearted person. She was just weighing the pros and cons.
She always felt that Zhaobin was not a simple person.
Not to mention anything else, the fact that the emperor had been childless for so many years, yet she was able to conceive a royal heir, and twins at that, within just three months of entering the palace, was enough to make him look up to her.
Before entering the palace, Duan Chunrou specifically consulted a doctor, and in this case, it was most likely the man's problem.
To say something extremely outrageous, the Emperor is incapable of making a woman pregnant.
But Bai Wutong had them, two at once, which couldn't be explained by just luck.
Maybe she really has a way to help with pregnancy.
The other party has lost power this time. If I can take the opportunity to build a good relationship with him, I may be able to benefit from it in the future.
Giving timely assistance is far better than adding icing on the cake.
Chun Xing is loyal to her, efficient at work, and good in every way, except that she is a little short-sighted.
In this harem, the emperor's favor is like a mirage in the water, which can never be grasped. Maybe she will disappear one day. She is young now, but sooner or later she will grow old and ugly.
Like the Queen and Concubine De, neither of them could serve the emperor in bed for several months.
Only children are the foundation for gaining a foothold in the harem!
"Chun Xing, wait for me to rest."
"Don't say such things again in the future. The New Year is coming soon... prepare some gifts, and I will go to see Zhaopin then."
