Chapter 93 Madam, what's wrong with you?
Bai Wutong was pregnant and did not go out to greet him in person.
Yunxiang brought the person into the hall.
Duan Chunrou bowed and saluted, "Your concubine greets the Empress Zhaopin."
Bai Wutong was a little surprised. He didn't expect her to come.
"Sister Duan, please get up quickly. Why are you here?"
"I am here to give you a New Year gift. If possible, I would like to spend the New Year with you. I am alone and feel too lonely."
Duan Chunrou's face showed nostalgia. "Before entering the palace, I spent this most important day at home. My parents, brothers and sisters were all around me. It was very lively. Unfortunately... I will never be able to experience it again."
Once you enter the palace, leaving is a luxury.
If she were married to another place, she could still visit her parents' home when she had nothing to do, but after she got to the palace, this would not be possible without the emperor's order.
She was a person of this palace when she was alive, and she will be a soul of this palace when she dies.
Even his burial was in the royal mausoleum.
From the moment she entered the palace, Duan Chunrou had completely cut off ties with the Duan family and became just one of the emperor's many women.
When Bai Wutong thought of his father and mother, a sense of pain spread.
"Sister Duan, you are so thoughtful. Come and sit down. You don't have to be so formal in the future. Just call me sister."
Yunxiang looked up at Duan Chunrou, feeling a little worried.
She came here suddenly, could it be that she wanted to harm the royal heir?
"My lady, you feel a little uncomfortable this afternoon. I will make you some honeysuckle tea."
Bai Wutong never said that she was feeling unwell at noon, and honeysuckle is a detoxifying herb, so it seems that she was giving her a secret reminder.
Bai Wutong understood, but was not worried.
Duan Chunrou was the only person who came here these days. If something happened to her child, the emperor would definitely suspect her.
No one, unless they are a fool, would do such a thing.
Besides, the baby in her belly will never fall out.
"Make two more cups. I want to talk more with Sister Duan today."
Duan Chunrou was a smart person. She understood what Yunxiang meant and said calmly, "Sister, don't worry. I will never harm you. If it weren't for your help that day, I'm afraid I would have drunk the potion that would kill me. In this harem, if you can't have a child, it's like you're half dead."
Bai Wutong held her hand and said, "I know."
The two of them drank tea and ate snacks.
There was really nothing to talk about in the palace, so the two of them started chatting about interesting things from their childhood.
Duan Chunrou covered her mouth and chuckled, "Sister, you don't know, I used to be very naughty, climbing trees and swimming in the river. My parents were always worried that I wouldn't be able to get married, so when I was only eleven or twelve years old, they helped me find a date. If I hadn't entered the palace, I would probably have married a military officer, who would have been able to keep me under control. But since I was sixteen, I stopped being naughty and became a lady from a noble family in the eyes of others. What about you, sister?"
"I..." Bai Wutong thought of her father and mother, but she couldn't express it. This was a secret that no one could know except herself. "I was sent to a Taoist temple when I was young and was not brought back until I entered the palace. There was nothing interesting about it."
Actually there are many.
When she was still a cat slave, she would travel through the mountains and forests with her father and mother every day, keeping company with birds and insects.
Once, she accidentally provoked the king of the mountain, a white-browed tiger. In order to protect her, her father almost rushed forward. Fortunately, the tiger was not interested in Bai Wutong and quickly turned away.
In the mountains and forests, any animal with consciousness, even if it is just a bug, is more valuable than a big insect without consciousness.
Seeing that Bai Wutong didn't say anything, Duan Chunrou lowered her head to sip her tea and didn't disturb him.
After a long while, Bai Wutong came back to his senses, "I thought I would spend this year alone, but I didn't expect that you would come to accompany me before the 30th."
"Sister, repaying a favor is the family motto of our Duan family. Don't worry, I will never harm you."
The two smiled at each other, but as to how much they believed it, only they themselves knew.
That night, the two talked all night long and went to bed very late.
The next day is New Year’s Eve, the most important festival of the year.
Duan Chunrou finished washing up and said, "Sister, I will leave first. Don't worry, you will definitely be favored again, and I will do my best to help you."
As soon as the person left, the surroundings returned to silence.
In an instant, countless emotions of loneliness swept over Bai Wutong.
This was her first New Year spent alone, without a father or mother to lick her fur or snuggle with her for warmth...
Night falls.
The entire palace was immersed in the New Year atmosphere.
Countless red lanterns light up, illuminating every corner of the lonely night.
Bai Wutong stood in the yard, looking into the night sky.
There, fireworks are blooming.
It is beautiful, but it is fleeting.
At this time, the emperor should be having a reunion dinner with his many concubines.
But she was alone.
"Father, Mother..."
Since Bai Wutong entered the palace, there has never been a moment as painful as it is now. My whole heart felt like it was pierced by countless needles, and it was so painful.
The tears couldn't stop falling.
She hugged herself, slowly squatted down, and couldn't hold back any longer, crying out loud.
Chan'er and Yingchun were guarding behind. When they heard the sound, they were so scared that they hurried forward.
"My lady, what's wrong with you?"
"My lady, please don't cry. Everything will be fine in the future."
It won't be okay.
Because my father and mother are no longer here.
We are separated by heaven and earth, and will never see each other again in this life.
Not even a strand of hair or a pinch of ashes was left!
After the pain, there is overwhelming hatred.
Bai Wutong raised her head, her almond-shaped eyes were red. She wanted revenge, she must take revenge to pay tribute to the spirits of her parents in heaven!
