The stunning beauty is spoiled by the fast-wearing bosses

Xiahou Li watched the girl fall asleep, tucked in the quilt for her, and his eyes suddenly became stern and he walked out of the hall.

Yan Xue watched Xiahou Li leave and said to the system, "What punishment do you think Concubine Wu will receive this time?"

The little bean crossed his legs, held his chin, and said helplessly, "How should I know?"

On the other side, the palace guards acted swiftly and decisively, and finally found the person, Mingshuang, the senior palace maid serving Concubine Wu. At this time, Mingshuang was already kneeling in the center of the hall.

When Xiahou Li walked to the front of the hall, he heard Yan Haochen's report. Looking at Mingshuang who was kneeling in the middle, a murderous atmosphere swept through the entire hall in an instant.

Mingshuang felt a chill on his back, kowtowed several times and said,

"Your Majesty, this was all done by me alone. I couldn't bear to see the Imperial Concubine sad, so I gave the Virtuous Concubine a red flower. It has nothing to do with anyone else."

When Concubine Wu heard this, her panicked heart finally calmed down. She also knelt down and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know what's going on."

"You don't know. Humph, guess whether I believe it or not. Come here."

At this time, a shrill voice sounded, "The Queen Mother has arrived."

The ministers immediately knelt down and bowed their heads, "Greetings to the Queen Mother."

When Wu Chengqi saw the queen mother coming, he wiped the cold sweat from his head and straightened his back a little.

Xiahou Li saw Queen Mother Wu coming and went down two steps. "Mother, why are you here?"

"I heard something happened here, so I came to see if Concubine De is okay?"

"It's okay. The doctor has checked it. Since it didn't eat much, just take good care of it in the future."

"That's good. This baby is very important and must be taken good care of."

Then he saw Ming Shuang and Concubine Wu kneeling on the ground and asked, "What's going on?"

Ming Shuang kowtowed several times in a hurry, "Her Majesty, please understand, it was me, my servant, who was blinded by greed and gave the safflower to the Empress Defei. It has nothing to do with anyone else."

After saying that, he unexpectedly bumped into the pillar next to him. Xiahou Li was caught off guard. He frowned and looked at everything in front of him, motioning Yan Haochen to go and check.

Queen Mother Wu raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect Mingshuang to be such a loyal and good girl.

Yan Haochen walked forward and felt Mingshuang's breath, then shook his head at Xiahou Li.

"Humph, it's a good thing for her to die. This is just one person's doing. Do you think I'm a fool?"

He said to Yan Haochen, "Investigate, continue investigating, and find out who is behind this."

"Your Majesty~" Queen Mother Wu stood up, "Your Majesty, since things have come to this point and Mingshuang has been brought to justice, there is no need to continue the investigation. There are still so many people outside, let them disperse as soon as possible."

"Queen mother?"

"His Majesty."

Xiahou Li looked at the Queen Mother with a complicated expression, but the Queen Mother's eyes were unusually firm.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sneer, with a hint of sarcasm in his laugh.

Then his eyes became sinister and sharp, staring at Concubine Wu like a vicious wolf.

Concubine Wu's body trembled slightly. She obviously felt Xiahou Li's cold gaze.

Her face turned pale, her lips trembled, and she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Finally, Xiahou Li shook his sleeves and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Mother, please don't let me catch her little tail again." Then he turned around and left in a hurry.

Queen Mother Wu breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that there might be a rift between them and their son from now on.

She looked at Concubine Wu, sighed, and announced the end of today's banquet.

Xiahou Li returned to the inner hall again. Looking at Yan Xue lying weakly on the bed, he felt an indescribable pain in his heart. He said to Cui Xi beside him,

"Take good care of your mother."

Cui Xi's eyes were red, and she quickly replied, "Yes, I will do my best to take good care of you, Madam."

Yan Xue was puzzled, "What happened to Xiahou Li? Just like that? He picked it up high and put it down gently."

"Host, that's his mother, he can't disobey her."

"I will not be content if Concubine Wu is not removed. When I leave, how will my children live in the palace?

I didn’t expect Xiahou Li to be so nice to me on the surface, but in reality, he is just so-so.”

"Host, don't be sad,"

"I'm not sad, I just feel a little unwilling. Anyway, I'm pregnant and I've got the points. After the baby is born, can't I just leave?"

"That's true in principle, but host, aren't you planning on having more children?"

"I hate so many women. I'm fed up with them."

Yan Xue chatted with the system and fell asleep in a daze, but how many people stayed awake all night?

Mingshuang was the dowry brought by Concubine Wu from her natal family. She had been with her for ten years, but she didn't expect to be killed because of this incident.

Concubine Wu gnashed her teeth and said, "Yan Xue, I will not let you have an easy time. Let's wait and see."

Outside the palace, in the Taiwei Mansion, after Wu Chengqi returned, he quickly wrote a letter and handed it to the man in black next to him, "Be sure to deliver it to Anguo Hou in person."

The man in black clasped his fists and said, "Yes."

Wu Yunze looked at his father and asked, "Is Concubine De really pregnant?"

Wu Taiwei nodded, "It should be."

"Then what about our plan? Xiaojie..."

Wu Chengqi snorted coldly, "Let's take it one step at a time. Who knows if the baby can be born? I wonder how many people are ready to take action against this baby."

In the study room of Xiangyang Marquis's house,

"Father, what should we do?"

Marquis of Xiangyang looked at his grandson with mixed feelings. It had been ten years and there had not been a single heir in the palace. How come Xiahou Li was suddenly able to have children again?

He sneered, "Don't worry, it won't be that easy for her to give birth. I don't know how many people are waiting to take her life!"

The next day, the decree that Yan Xue was named Imperial Noble Consort spread throughout the harem, followed by the imperial decree that Concubine Wu was confined to her house for three months.

All the concubines sighed. After such a big commotion yesterday, she was only confined to her room. It seemed that the niece of Empress Dowager Wu still held a great deal of importance in His Majesty's heart.

Xiahou Li was very worried, wondering if Xue'er was blaming him. Rewards were sent to Fanghua Palace like a stream of water.

This was also what Yan Xue asked to move in this morning. Originally, Xiahou Li did not allow Yan Xue to move out, but Yan Xue said that she had already met all the ministers and it was better to abide by the rules.

He knew that Xue'er was angry with him, and it was not easy for him to force her. Fortunately, Fanghua Palace was not far from Chengqian Palace, so Xiahou Li let her do what she wanted.
