The beauty who wears fast has many babies

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor immediately arranged for people to search each palace for any prohibited items.

Concubine Su accidentally saw Concubine Xue's smiling face, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Your Majesty, I have no objection to the palace search, but I have a question."

"Concubine Su, please feel free to speak." Looking at Concubine Su who was pregnant with a daughter, the emperor was more tolerant of her.

"The palace has been searched twice in this month. Our Concubine Xue is in charge of the post of the Central Palace. Isn't it a bit..." Concubine Su said with her head held high and chest puffed out, not caring about Concubine Xue's face at all.

Her raised chin and provocative eyes seemed to declare her dissatisfaction to everyone.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the palace was tense, and the concubines looked at each other, unsure how to respond. They all knew that Concubine Su was the daughter of General Su and had always been arrogant and domineering, but this time she challenged Concubine Xue's authority so directly, which was really surprising.

Concubine Xue, sitting in the high seat, had a gloomy expression, a flicker of displeasure in her eyes. She looked at Concubine Su coldly, thinking to herself: This woman is getting more and more presumptuous! She actually dared to question my ability in public. It seems I need to teach her a lesson.

However, at this moment, Concubine Liu on the side spoke up and broke the deadlock.

She smiled and said, "Don't be angry, sister. Concubine Su has good intentions." This sentence seemed to be explaining for Concubine Su, but in fact it implied that Concubine Su's dissatisfaction with Concubine Xue was not groundless.

Concubine Xue heard the deep meaning in Concubine Liu's words. She knew that there was a subtle relationship between Concubine Liu and Concubine Su.

So she decided to endure it for the time being. After all, the power struggle in the palace never stopped.

Concubine Su looked at Concubine Xue triumphantly, thinking: I finally embarrassed you this time.

However, she also understood that Concubine Xue would not let her go easily, and she would need to be careful in the future.

"What Concubine Su said is not without reason, but I cannot easily make a conclusion."

Before Concubine Xue could react, the people who were searching the palace outside came into the hall with a wooden box.

"Your Majesty, a locked wooden box was found in Concubine Li's palace. Please make the decision." The chief eunuch stepped forward and held the wooden box in front of the emperor with both hands.

This wooden box looked very old, without any dust on it, ordinary but clean. It was placed in the bedroom of Concubine Li, looking a little abrupt and mysterious.

The emperor frowned, looking at the wooden box before him, his heart filled with confusion and curiosity. He wanted to know what was inside the wooden box, and why it appeared in Concubine Li's palace? Could it be hiding some secret?

The chief eunuch carefully handed the wooden box to the emperor, who took it and examined it carefully. The box was engraved with exquisite patterns, but they were blurred due to age.

The emperor gently stroked the surface of the wooden box, feeling the traces of time. He tried to open the wooden box, but found that it was locked with a copper lock that required a key to open.

"Pass on my order and go to the Imperial Household Department to find tools to open the lock." The emperor ordered.

The eunuch chief nodded quickly and replied, "As you wish!" Then he turned and left.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, quietly waiting for the arrival of the lock-picking tools. At this time, the whole palace fell into a dead silence, and no one dared to speak, for fear of disturbing the emperor's thoughts.

Concubine Xue and her confidante Cuilan looked at each other, and when they saw the other nod slightly, they knew that the matter was settled.

"Li Fei, what's in here?" Zhou Chongli asked curiously.

He naturally believed Wu Li, but was just curious whether it was her own thing or someone else's. Even if there was a problem, he had enough confidence to protect Wu Li.

"Your Majesty, this is just my own little toy. Can I show it to you in private?" Wu Lizhun said this, but she turned her back to everyone and looked at Zhou Chongli playfully with her eyes open.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Chongli understood: "Oh?"

He immediately cooperated and said, "If it's inconvenient for Concubine Li, I can look at it in private."

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Xue became anxious when she heard this.

"Does Princess Xue have any objections?" Zhou Chongli had no choice but to continue acting.

"I think we should check on the spot to clear Concubine Li's name." Concubine Xue stood up and said with a righteous look on her face.

Her eyes were firm and confident, as if she was fully confident in her proposal. Everyone present was attracted by her words and turned their eyes to her.

Concubine Xue took a deep breath and continued, "Since Concubine Li dares to make such a request, she must have sufficient confidence and evidence to support it. We should give her a fair opportunity and conduct an on-the-spot inspection to prove her innocence. This will not only bring justice to Concubine Li, but also convince everyone."

Her voice was so powerful that it echoed throughout the palace, and everyone began to whisper and discuss.

Some people agreed with Concubine Xue's suggestion, believing it was the most direct way to solve the problem; others expressed doubts, worrying that there might be a trap or conspiracy.

However, no matter what, this proposal has attracted everyone's attention and become the focus of current discussion.

"Okay, Your Majesty, since Concubine Xue has said so, I am upright and have nothing to fear. I will not allow anyone to wrongly accuse me. Go ahead and see if you want." Wu Li saw that the people who were searching Concubine Xue's palace through the holographic projector had found the fake pregnancy pill and detained the people in Concubine Xue's palace. They hurried over here and he agreed straightforwardly.

"In that case, come here and open the lock." Zhou Chongli said no more and called someone to open the lock.

All the concubines around stretched their necks to look forward, and even the empress dowager felt a little nervous.

Wu Li took advantage of the moment when everyone was concentrating on looking at the box, stared at Concubine Xue who was secretly delighted, and said silently to her: You lost.

When Concubine Xue saw Wu Li's mouth curled up with a mocking smile, she suddenly felt panic for no reason and felt something was wrong.

"Clap."

There was a sound of the lock falling, and the wooden box was slowly opened.

When Zhou Chongli's eyes came into contact with the contents inside, he was stunned.

Inside was a purse Wuli had made for him when they were in love among the common people, and a wooden hairpin he had given her in return. It was the first and only time he had ever been a girl. There was a scratch on it, where Wuli had accidentally scratched it when she suddenly came in and startled him.

I didn't expect that she kept this hairpin all the time. Look at how smooth it is. I guess she took it out many times to remind herself of the person.

"This." Concubine Xue looked at the hairpin in the emperor's hand and was shocked when she thought of Wuli's attitude. She had an even worse premonition.

"Li'er, I didn't expect you still kept it." Zhou Chongli looked at Wuli lovingly and was deeply moved.

"Your Majesty." Wu Li said nothing, but just looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

There was a loud noise outside, and a group of people entered the hall.

"Your Majesty, I have found a fake pregnancy pill in Concubine Xue's palace. All the palace maids and eunuchs have been detained. Please make the decision, Your Majesty!" The chief steward came in with the emperor's personal guard.

"What!" Concubine Xue was shocked and stood up suddenly.
