Ah, you traveled through time too?

Jiazhi nodded in agreement, and they began to plot how to announce the pregnancy in three months without being noticed during this period. Jiazhi arranged some trusted palace maids and eunuchs to take care of Zhu Li and ensure her safety and secrecy.

A few days later, Julie began to act according to the plan. She carefully concealed her whereabouts and did not let anyone find out that she was abnormal. She knew that once she was discovered, not only would she be in great danger, but the whole family would also be in trouble.

At the same time, the relationship between Lian Di and Li Yong gradually returned to normal. Li Yong's love and care for Lian Di made her feel extremely happy. She also did her best to handle the affairs of the harem and ensure the harmony and peace of the harem.

One day, Li Yong came to Guangqing Palace and saw Lian Di handling some palace affairs. He walked up to her and said gently, "Lian Di, I'm here to see you."

Lian Di raised her head and smiled, "Your Majesty, how come you have time to come here?"

Li Yong gently held her hand and said, "I want to have dinner with you. Let's go to the Imperial Garden, where the environment is quiet and peaceful."

Lian Di nodded in agreement and went to the Imperial Garden with Li Yong. During the meal, Li Yong kept helping Lian Di pick up dishes, his eyes full of doting. Su Changde watched from the side and couldn't help but sigh at the emperor's love for Lian Di.

Lian Di noticed the emperor's careful care for her and was touched. She picked a bowl of fish with bones removed and handed it to Li Yong: "Your Majesty, this fish has no bones. Please try it."

The night was deep and the harem was silent. Jiazhi explained to Zhu Li in her bedroom, "Don't worry, Zhu Li, the other members of the family have already known about this plan and they have expressed their support. We will do our best to help you realize this plan."

Zhu Li was silent for a moment, her heart still full of contradictions and uneasiness. She knew that this plan was extremely dangerous. Once discovered, not only would she be in an irretrievable situation, but even the entire family would suffer. She took a deep breath and said slowly: "Mother, can this plan really succeed?"

Jiazhi held Zhu Li's hand and looked at him firmly: "Zhu Li, this plan is the only way out at the moment. We will make sure everything is done carefully and there will be no mistakes. You have to trust us."

Zhu Li raised her head, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes: "But, can I really do it? Pretending to be pregnant, and then bringing a child into the palace, saying it's mine and the emperor's child... This is too difficult for me."

Jiazhi gently patted the back of Zhu Li's hand and said softly: "Zhu Li, I know this is difficult for you, but you must remember that this is not only for our family, but also for yourself. Haven't you always hoped to be favored by the emperor? As long as this plan succeeds, you can become the emperor's most beloved concubine."

Julie pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, mother, I promise you. But we must make sure the plan is foolproof and there can be no mistakes."

Jiazhi smiled with relief: "Don't worry, Julie, we will make careful arrangements. Next, we need to plan each step in detail to ensure that everything goes smoothly."

Zhu Li's decision and reaction set off a huge wave in her heart. She knew that she had no way out and could only move forward. For the fate of her family and for her love for the emperor, she decided to give it a try.

In the next few days, Jiazhi discussed closely with several core members of the family and worked out every step in detail to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan. First, they had to make sure that Julie's "pregnancy" looked real and credible. To this end, they specially found a doctor with superb medical skills to pretend to diagnose Julie with the news of "pregnancy".

One day, Jiazhi took Zhuli to the doctor's residence secretly. The doctor examined Zhuli's body in detail, and then solemnly announced: "Congratulations, Zhuli, you are already two months pregnant."

Zhu Li felt a complex emotion. Although she knew it was all fake, she still felt a little nervous and uneasy. She glanced at her mother and saw Jiazhi nodded slightly. She said calmly, "Thank you, doctor. Please keep it a secret."

The doctor nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, Madam, I will keep the secret."

After returning to the palace, Zhu Li began to act according to her plan. She deliberately showed symptoms of pregnancy and even pretended to be nauseous and vomited in front of some concubines and palace maids to increase credibility. Soon, the news of Zhu Li's pregnancy spread throughout the harem.

Lian Di was surprised and doubtful when she heard the news. She knew that Zhu Li had always hoped to be favored by the emperor, but the news of her pregnancy came too suddenly, which made her suspicious.

One day, Lian Di and Li Yong were walking in the Imperial Garden, and Li Yong casually mentioned Zhu Li's pregnancy: "Lian Di, have you heard? Zhu Li is pregnant."

Lian Di frowned slightly and pondered for a moment: "Your Majesty, the news of Empress Zhu Li's pregnancy is indeed surprising, but I think this matter may need further verification."

Li Yong nodded: "I also feel that this is a bit sudden, but since she is already pregnant, I can't say anything more."

Lian Di secretly decided in her heart to keep a close eye on Zhu Li's movements and make sure everything was safe.

Meanwhile, Julie's plan is proceeding step by step. She works closely with her mother and key members of the family to ensure that every detail goes well. She knows that this adventure is not only related to her personal destiny, but also to the rise and fall of the entire family.

Three months later, Zhu Li announced her pregnancy in the palace and presented the doctor's diagnosis to the emperor. After Li Yong learned of the news, although he still had doubts in his heart, he still expressed his concern and congratulations.

Zhu Li breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the first step of the plan had been successfully completed. Next, she needed to bring a baby into the palace and claim that it was her and the emperor's child.

A few days later, Jiazhi found a reliable baby nurse and secretly arranged a newborn baby. The baby's parents were a poor couple Jiazhi rescued many years ago. They were willing to give the child to Julie, hoping that the child would have a good future.

Jiazhi brought the baby into the palace and secretly gave it to Zhu Li. Zhu Li looked at this little life with mixed emotions in her heart. She knew that this child would be the key to her winning the emperor's favor, but it also meant a huge risk.

One day, Zhu Li came to see Li Yong holding the baby and whispered, "Your Majesty, this is our child."

Li Yong looked at this little life, a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes. He gently picked up the baby and whispered: "Zhu Li, you have worked hard."

Zhu Li's eyes flashed with tears, and she whispered: "Your Majesty, all this is for the future of us and our family."

Li Yong smiled slightly and patted Zhu Li's shoulder gently: "You did a good job. I will take good care of you and your son."

However, the success of this plan depends not only on the efforts of Zhu Li and Jia Zhi, but also on avoiding the suspicion and secret investigation of other concubines. Lian Di has always been suspicious of Zhu Li's pregnancy, and she decided to investigate secretly to find out the truth.

Lian Di and Dong Xia conspire to secretly follow Zhu Li and look for her flaws. One day, they discover that Zhu Li is secretly meeting with a baby care worker, which raises more doubts in their hearts.

Dongxia whispered, "My queen, should we reveal this to the emperor?"

Lian Di shook her head: "Not yet. We need more evidence to make sure the emperor believes us."

In the next few days, Lian Di and Dong Xia continued to closely monitor Zhu Li's every move and gradually discovered some suspicious things. They decided to continue collecting evidence and wait for the best time to expose Zhu Li's conspiracy.
