Chapter 45 He Didn't Come
Liu Xu took out two silver bills from her purse and stuffed them into the eunuch's hand.
"Eunuch, please, Concubine Bai is really ill. She has no other thoughts now and just wants to see the Crown Prince. Please use this money to buy some wine. Please help me."
Eunuch Chang simply shook off her hand, and the two banknotes were thrown to the ground.
He said impatiently, "Do you think I don't want the Crown Prince to see Concubine Bai? It's the Crown Prince himself who refuses to see Concubine Bai. The Crown Prince said in person that if Concubine Bai still wants to live well, she should go see the imperial physician. If she doesn't want to live anymore, she should buy a coffin. Don't come to the Crown Prince for trivial matters."
Liu Xu opened her eyes wide, unable to believe that such cruel words came from the prince's mouth.
Eunuch Chang waved his hand to drive them away: "Go, go, go, if you don't leave I will ask the guards to take action!"
Liu Xu didn't dare to stay any longer. He picked up the banknote and left in a daze.
She returned to the Jade Lotus Palace.
Concubine Bai was lying on the bed resting. When she saw Liu Xu coming back, she didn't say anything, but her eyes revealed obvious hope.
Liu Xu didn't dare to look at her, and lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.
"It is my fault that I failed to invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
After saying that, she knelt down.
The light in Concubine Bai's eyes quickly dimmed.
He didn't come.
Why?
Is it because he has another woman in his heart and doesn’t want to see her anymore?
Concubine Bai only felt a sharp pain in her heart and her vision went dark.
She covered her chest and gasped violently. Her already pale face was now completely bloodless, as if she was about to die at any moment.
Liu Xu was horrified and rushed over in panic.
"My queen, what's wrong with you? Someone, go get the imperial physician!"
The East Palace is neither small nor big.
The news that the people in Yulian Palace hurriedly ran to ask for the imperial physician soon reached the ears of other concubines.
Normally, Chen Liangyuan was closest to Concubine Bai. Logically, she should go to Yulian Palace to visit Concubine Bai at this time, but she had just been punished by the Crown Prince and was too embarrassed to see anyone. She hid in Yulu Tower and did not go out. She only asked her personal maid to send some supplements to Yulian Palace.
Inside the Jinfeng Palace, Concubine Li heard these things from the young eunuch and laughed so hard that she was shaking with joy.
"In the past, Concubine Bai could coax the Crown Prince to come and see her by pretending to be sick. But today, she finally hit a wall. Hahahaha, I am dying of laughter!"
She had long disliked that white lotus, but because she couldn't find any fault with him, she could only endure it.
After holding it in for so long, Concubine Li finally saw Bai Lianhua being humiliated. She was extremely pleased and directly rewarded the young eunuch with a heavy silver ingot.
The young eunuch knelt on the ground and thanked him profusely, then left happily with the silver ingot in his pocket.
Concubine Li laughed for a long time again.
First it was Chen Liangyuan, and now it's Concubine Bai. The two women in the Eastern Palace that she hated the most had bad luck one after another. Concubine Li felt extremely relieved.
She asked the palace maid beside her.
"Caiyun, is there any movement in Qingge Palace recently?"
Caiyun said truthfully, "Yesterday afternoon, the wife of General Zhongwu's mansion took her little daughter to Qingge Palace. They didn't stay long before leaving. The prince stayed overnight at Qingge Palace. There was nothing else."
When Concubine Li heard the words "The Crown Prince will stay overnight in Qingge Palace", the last trace of smile on her face completely disappeared.
