The beauty who wears fast has many babies

Chapter 12 World 1: Show of Power

Wu Li had just figured out how to produce large quantities of goose and duck feathers while also properly processing the goose and duck meat when Concubine Xue sent someone to deliver the prepared chrysanthemums and informed her of the details of the chrysanthemum viewing banquet.

"My queen, what do you think we should do with these dried chrysanthemums?" Xiuhong asked.

Wu Li looked at the quality of the chrysanthemums. They were all top-notch, with intact petals. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "System, are these chrysanthemums okay?"

【Host, non-toxic.】

After hearing what the system said, Wu Li turned to Xiu Hong and said, "Save it for tea."

Wu Li recalled reading in a book in a previous life that drinking chrysanthemum tea in moderation can improve sleep quality, regulate liver function, lower blood sugar levels, and promote digestion and detoxification. Most importantly, it can also reduce the incidence of umbilical cord wrapping around the fetus's neck. (For reference only, don't take it seriously.)

However, when drinking chrysanthemum tea, be careful not to eat it with celery, persimmons, free-range chickens, etc., as this may easily cause food poisoning.

At this moment, a thought flashed through Wu Li's mind, and she remembered what had happened in the past. She remembered that Concubine Lü had once tried to use the method of food incompatibility to frame her, but for various reasons, this plan failed to be implemented, and Concubine Lü had been banished to the cold palace.

Recalling this past event, Wu Li couldn't help but feel a mixture of relief and fear. If Concubine Lü had successfully implemented this plan, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Now, although some time has passed, Wu Li still feels a lingering fear about this incident.

"Empress, Concubine Du is here." The voice of the little palace maid interrupted Wuli's thoughts.

What is she here to do?

"How is Concubine Li these days?" Concubine Du walked in with a smile.

"All is well. What brings Concubine Du to Guanju Palace?" Wu Li said indifferently.

Lady Du didn't care about Wu Li's attitude and said with a smile, "Before winter came, I made some persimmon cakes with the persimmons grown in my yard. Now that the weather is getting colder and there are no delicious fruits, I thought of sending some to my sister."

After saying that, he asked someone to open the food box and show it to Wuli. He saw that the persimmons in the box were covered with icing sugar, and each one was plump and tempting.

Wu Li was shocked! He looked at the persimmon cake in front of him with a normal expression and said, "Thank you, Lady Du. This persimmon cake makes my mouth water just by looking at it."

"As long as my sister likes it!" Du Guiren said with a smile, a hint of cunning in her eyes.

Then they chatted for a while and left.

Wu Li looked at Concubine Du's departing back and thought secretly, as expected, the women in the harem are not good people.

"Xiuhong, I don't like sweets, please take it away and share it with you." Wu Li said.

"Also, let's see whose palace Concubine Du sent these persimmon cakes to."

Xiuhong happily responded, "Yes, my lady."

Xiuhong acted quickly and soon found out that in addition to Wuli, Concubine Du also sent a box of persimmon cakes to Concubine Xue and Concubine Li respectively.

After hearing the news, Wu Li pondered for a moment and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"It seems someone can't hold back any longer... In that case, I'll have some fun with you. Xiuhong, go to the kitchenette and get some fresh vegetables and fruits."

Wu Li decided to cook some dishes to show off his cooking skills and test others.

Soon, delicious dishes were placed on the table.

Wu Li asked someone to send a portion to Concubine Du, and thanked her for the delicious persimmon cake.

"This was specially prepared for you by Concubine Li. She said she hopes Lady Du will like it." Xiuhong said with a smile.

Concubine Du and Qiuyu looked at each other in bewilderment. They had no idea what Wuli was up to, but Concubine Du still politely picked up the dish and put it in her mouth.

However, not long after, Concubine Du's expression became extremely ugly.

"Puff..." Concubine Du suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"This...what's going on?" Qiuyu looked at Xiuhong in panic.

Xiuhong watched coldly, pretending to be nervous and shouting, "Oh, should we call the imperial physician?"

"The Queen said, don't play any tricks in front of her. She is just using a taste of her own medicine. Please be careful." After saying that, Xiuhong turned around and left without waiting for the two to react.

"you!"

"Are you okay, Madam?!" Qiuyu looked at the backs of Xiuhong and her group as they left with a look of resentment on her face.

"It's okay, just spit it out. This matter cannot be made public." Concubine Du said as she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

There was a hint of cold murderous intent in his eyes, but fortunately it was not large.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand why you don't make this matter known to everyone so that the emperor can see Concubine Li's true face." Qiuyu asked unwillingly.

"Do as I say." Du Guiren shouted sternly.

Concubine Du did not explain. She knew in her heart that Wu Li was warning her. Then, was Wu Li aware of her cooperation with Concubine Xue?

The plan was to take advantage of the inter-promotion and inter-inhibition properties of food, secretly let the fool Concubine Lu do it, and then use Concubine Li to take the blame.

Unexpectedly, a person who was unable to accomplish anything but caused more trouble than success was banished to the cold palace before anything even began.

Another person, who had worked so hard to build up trust with me, became wary of me because I was pregnant.

He had no choice but to take the risk and cooperate with Concubine Xue.

Never act rashly before you know the other party's background.

After Xiuhong comes back, don't leave the screen.

"Your Majesty, you don't know that Concubine Du's face turned pale with fright at that time." Xiuhong said with her hands and feet dancing.

Her voice was full of excitement and curiosity, her eyes sparkled, and she seemed eager to ask the Empress how she dared to do this so brazenly.

Wu Li chuckled and shook his head without saying anything.

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that Concubine Du will tell the Emperor and the Empress Dowager?" Xiuhong said worriedly after her excitement.

"What are you afraid of? It's tiring to keep pretending. Besides, she doesn't dare to say anything." Wu Li said confidently.

"But, today Lou Qi and I are going together," Xiuhong said hesitantly.

"It's okay, just call him over alone later and tell him that I have a reward." Wu Li had already considered this.

Xiuhong alone wouldn't be enough, so before Lou Qi and Xiuhong went to deliver food to Lady Du, he had already made her drink tea laced with 100% Loyalty Pills. He then specifically sent them both to handle this matter.

Even if the emperor and the empress dowager could know about this matter, they could never know it from Guanju Palace.

Speaking of Lou Qi, this name doesn't sound like a eunuch, but more like a secret guard.

But it doesn’t matter anymore. Even if they are people sent by the emperor, they just have to obey my orders now.

Not long after, Lou Qi arrived. "Greetings, Her Majesty!"

"Get up." Wu Li said to the young eunuch in front of him who had a handsome appearance but extraordinary temperament.
