Time passed minute by minute, and Chu Junze fell asleep unknowingly.

The book in his hand slipped to the ground with a slight sound.

Su Qianqian opened her eyes and looked at Chu Junze's peaceful sleeping face, her heart filled with happiness and peace.

She got out of bed carefully, picked up the book on the floor, and gently placed it on the table. Then, she walked to Chu Junze and covered him with a thin blanket to prevent him from catching a cold.

After doing all this, Su Qianqian lay back on the bed, feeling the warmth in her abdomen, slowly closed her eyes, and fell into a sweet dream.

In her dream, she saw herself, Chu Junze and the children living a happy life.

Suddenly, a loud noise woke Su Qianqian from her sweet dream.

She sat up suddenly, feeling uneasy. Chu Junze was also woken up, and he asked quickly, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Su Qianqian shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

At this time, the shouting of three little ones came from outside the door.

It turned out that Long Yi took the three of them to the back mountain to hunt, and the three little ones caught prey for the first time with their bows and arrows.

Su Qianqian and Chu Junze looked at each other, both of them were a little surprised. They quickly put on their clothes and walked out of the bedroom.

I saw the three little ones excitedly surrounding a little deer, with proud smiles on their faces.

"Father, Mother, look, we caught a little deer!" Erbao spoke first.

"Wow, you guys are awesome!" Su Qianqian praised.

Chu Junze touched their heads, his eyes full of pride.

"This is all thanks to Master Long Yi's good teaching!" Dabao said seriously.

Long Yi saluted Chu Junze and Su Qianqian and said, "This is what I should do."

At this time, Su Qianqian noticed a wound on Long Yi's arm, which was obviously caused by hunting.

"You are injured, go and bandage it quickly." Su Qianqian said with concern.

"Thank you, Her Majesty, for your concern. I'll go right away." Long nodded in response.

Chu Junze and Su Qianqian looked at the scene in front of them, feeling a lot of emotion in their hearts. Their three little babies can hunt now, time flies so fast.

Before the two of them could continue expressing their feelings, the three little ones were already impatiently discussing what to do with the fawn.

Dabao said calmly: "We can roast the venison!"

"Great, we can eat roasted venison!" Sanbao clapped his hands happily.

"But we don't know how to roast venison." Erbao said, blinking his big eyes.

"Then we can ask Nanny Geng and Aunt Zi Yan for help!" Dabao suggested.

"Good idea!" Erbao agreed, "Let's go find them now."

As they spoke, the three little ones pulled Su Qianqian and Chu Junze's hands and ran towards the kitchen.

Along the way, the three little ones chattered like little birds, telling about their hunting experiences.

Chu Junze and Su Qianqian followed behind, listening to the children's laughter and feeling warm in their hearts.

After arriving at the small kitchen, Su Qianqian told Nanny Geng and the others what had just happened. Then everyone worked together to skin and clean the deer, then skewer them with branches and roast them over the fire.

Soon, the aroma of barbecue spread, making everyone salivate.

"It smells so good!" Su Qianqian couldn't help but exclaim.

"You can eat it soon." Chu Junze said with a smile.

Finally, the venison was roasted and the children tasted the fruits of their labor excitedly.

"Hmm, delicious!" Sanbao said vaguely while eating.

"Thank you, Father, Mother, and Master Long Yi. I am so happy today!" Erbao said gratefully.

Chu Junze and Su Qianqian looked at the children's satisfied expressions and also smiled happily.

After the family happily enjoyed lunch, the three little darlings pestered Chu Junze and asked him to tell them stories about his hunting experiences in the past.

Chu Junze readily agreed. He described his hunting experiences in vivid detail, and the children listened with great interest, exclaiming in amazement from time to time.

The afternoon sun shone in the courtyard, the breeze gently rustled the leaves, everything was so beautiful. Su Qianqian leaned on Chu Junze's shoulder, listening to him quietly, as if she had witnessed that beautiful time of freedom with her own eyes.

Before we knew it, the sun was setting and a gorgeous sunset glow appeared on the horizon.

Chu Junze patted the children's heads and said gently, "Okay, it's time to rest." The children were a little reluctant, but still went back to their rooms obediently.

At night, Chu Junze and Su Qianqian lay on the bed, recalling every detail of the day.

They felt extremely happy and looked forward to more good times in the future. Under the moonlight, they fell asleep in each other's arms and entered a sweet dream.

Although Su Qianqian would often wake up at night due to her pregnancy, every time she woke up, Chu Junze would immediately wake up and help her to the bathroom.

It is precisely because of this that Su Qianqian never felt unhappy during her entire pregnancy.

Early the next morning, the guards in charge of guarding the cold palace hurried to the Yaoguang Palace.

When Eunuch Xi saw him, he learned that the once glorious Concubine Wei had died in the cold palace, and the former Queen Ning had disappeared.

After listening to his report, Eunuch Xi was stunned for a moment, then said to him, "Now that I know, I will report to the emperor later. You go guard the exits of the cold palace first."

After sending the guard away, Eunuch Xi returned to his room again, waiting for the time to go to court. He would then wake up the emperor and tell him about the matter.

The waiting time always feels long, and Eunuch Xi just keeps waiting with his eyes open.

Thinking back to the previous reports that the secret guards had given to Chu Junze, the two had indeed been arguing non-stop, but most of the time it was Wei Mingxue who was hysterically insulting Ning Wan'er.

On the contrary, Ning Wan'er was unusually silent, but she was really like a barking dog, so she was holding it in for a big while!

Eunuch Xi knew what happened just by thinking about it. Wei Mingxue must have angered Ning Wan'er, and then she killed him instead.

I just don't know how Ning Wan'er disappeared. I shouldn't have withdrawn the secret guards before, otherwise she wouldn't be so passive now and know nothing.

Eunuch Xi thought about many things while waiting, until the candles were lit in Chu Junze's bedroom.

After Chu Junze changed into the dragon robe and came out, he saw Eunuch Xi with a serious look on his face.

It was rare to see him with this expression, so Chu Junze knew something must have happened, so he asked softly, "What's wrong? Let's talk on the way."

"Yes, Your Majesty." With that, the two of them walked towards the Qinzheng Hall together.

Then Eunuch Xi told him what the guard said, "So the current situation is that Ning Wan'er is missing and Wei Mingxue is dead?!"

Chu Junze stopped.
