The beauty who wears fast has many babies

"You mean to say that the traitors are using your family's lives to threaten you, asking you to convey their intentions to me and attack the emperor. After the attack is successful, they will let your family go, and you can leave the palace and find another good marriage?"

Wu Li sat on a chair, drinking tea while looking at the beautiful lady Wei who was kneeling on the ground, and asked calmly. Her eyes were calm, but she made people feel an invisible pressure.

Concubine Wei trembled, lowered her head, and did not dare to look up at Wu Li. She knew that her behavior had been discovered, and now she could only pray that the Queen would forgive her.

"Yes, I dare not hide it. I only ask the Queen to help me!" Concubine Wei knelt down and begged for mercy.

Her voice was filled with tears, and tears kept flowing down and dripping onto the floor. She knew she had made a big mistake, and if she didn't get the Queen's forgiveness, she and her family would face disaster.

"I can't help you."

Hearing her say this, Lady Wei's body suddenly softened and she fell to the ground.

"but."

"Your Majesty, please speak!" Lady Wei said hurriedly as if she had grasped a glimmer of hope.

"If you are willing to redeem yourself from your crimes and help His Majesty catch the remnants of the rebellion, I may consider saying a few good words for you in front of His Majesty." Wu Li put down the teacup in his hand and said to Concubine Wei.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Concubine Wei's eyes, and she kowtowed in thanks, "Thank you, Queen! I will do my best to help Your Majesty eliminate the traitor!"

Wu Li nodded slightly, "Very good, you can get up now. But you must remember, this is your only chance. If you act unfaithfully again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Lady Wei stood up and said respectfully, "I understand, but my family's lives are now threatened by the treacherous people..."

"I can only promise you that I will do my best. You just need to tell me everything you know." Although Wuli has the system, Zhou Chongli still needs to do the specifics. It is not easy to save his life.

"Yes, I understand."

Then, Lady Wei explained her specific plan and the contact person. She felt relieved and determined to seize this opportunity to save herself and her family.

After everyone left, Wu Li sent someone to notify Zhou Chongli and asked him to come for lunch at noon.

"Ali, why did you call me to have lunch at noon today?" Although the Du family's clique had been controlled, there were still many government affairs to attend to. Unless there was something important, the two of them would usually communicate during dinner.

"The fish has taken the bait." Wu Li said with a smile.

"Oh?" Zhou Chongli raised his eyebrows with a look of joy.

"Miss Wei came to see me today." Then Wu Li told Zhou Chongli what had happened before.

"I see. I really don't have much impression of this Lady Wei."

Wu Li rolled his eyes, handed him the personnel list and plan, and said, "Here, you have so many concubines, and you only enter the harem a few times a year."

Zhou Chongli smiled and said nothing. He had tried hard when he first ascended the throne, but the concubines in the harem were not up to his expectations. Later, he lost interest in matters of the bedroom and spent every day in the court.

"Also, Concubine Wei has spread the news of my pregnancy to the harem." Wu Li said.

Zhou Chongli laughed and said, "I'm afraid this matter will cause a lot of dissatisfaction in the harem."

Wu Li smiled lightly, "So what if they are dissatisfied? I don't care about their opinions anyway."

"But I don't want you to suffer any injustice." Zhou Chongli held Wu Li's hand, his eyes full of pity.

"I know you feel sorry for me." Wu Li leaned in Zhou Chongli's arms, "But this is what we have to face. If they really dare to make trouble in front of me, I will definitely not show any mercy."

Zhou Chongli nodded, "As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you and the child."

Wu Li said: "Don't worry, they will definitely not be able to sit still now."

Zhou Chongli echoed, "I've already made arrangements for Concubine Su and Concubine Liu, just wait."

In the afternoon, the concubines from all the palaces came to the emperor's presence as expected, but they all asked Zhou Chongli to dismiss the harem.

"Oh? What? You also heard the rumors?" Zhou Chongli joked calmly. The smile in his eyes gradually deepened, but it seemed to carry a hint of deep meaning.

Concubine Su muttered to herself, "Didn't you ask Concubine Liu and I to instigate the other concubines to voluntarily request the dismissal of the harem? And now you're playing dumb here." She laughed inwardly, but outwardly maintained a solemn expression.

Concubine Su stepped forward and said in a firm tone: "I hope the emperor will grant me this!" Her eyes met Zhou Chongli's, revealing a determination and persistence in her eyes.

Zhou Chongli looked at the group of women before him, some expressing their affection, some pretending, and he couldn't help but sigh. After a moment's silence, he slowly said, "Since you are all so insistent, I will comply with your wishes."

When the concubines heard this, they all showed joy on their faces.

However, Zhou Chongli changed the subject and continued, "However, if the harem is disbanded, I'm afraid the ministers will not compromise."

"This..." The concubines were stunned. They originally thought that the emperor would agree easily, but they didn't expect there would be this obstacle.

"However, if my beloved concubines can convince their families, it is not impossible," Zhou Chongli said with a smile.

The concubines' faces turned ugly, which meant that the conflicts with their families would become more intense.

At this moment, Concubine Su rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is wise. This way, we can both dismiss the harem and silence the ministers."

The other concubines also echoed and expressed their agreement.

Zhou Chongli watched the crowd's reactions, feeling secretly pleased. He knew that these women, for their own benefit, would do whatever they could to get their families to agree. Even if a few disagreed, it wouldn't cause any major disturbances.

In the following days, the palace was bustling with activity as families from all over entered the palace and returned to their respective homes with the wishes of their daughters.

After everyone dispersed, Wu Li said, "Your strategy is really brilliant. My own daughter took the initiative to propose the dismissal of the harem. As long as we can deal with a few important officials, it won't be a problem."

"That depends on Ali's cooperation. If I hadn't heard that Ali was pregnant again and I hadn't entered the harem, and if Concubine Su and Concubine Liu had brainwashed them every day, they would naturally be unwilling to be widows and have no personal freedom." Zhou Chongli said with a smile.

On the other side, the concubines were also having a great time. Except for Concubine Wu who went crazy.

"Great, it won't be long before we're free."

"Yes!"

"When I get out, I'm going to open the largest tailor shop in the capital."

"Then I'll open a pastry shop!"

"Okay, okay, I love chestnut cake the most!"

Concubine Su looked at the concubines chattering and talking in front of her. Their faces were filled with cheerful smiles, as if they had forgotten all their worries and sorrows. These women who usually looked dignified, steady, even aloof, were now laughing and playing like a group of innocent children.

Their laughter was clear and sweet, echoing in the palace like silver bells. Everyone had a sincere smile on their face, and their eyes sparkled with love for life and anticipation for the future.

At this moment, they are no longer the high and mighty concubines or imperial concubines, but a group of ordinary young women enjoying their own happy time.

However, Su Fei knew that behind these seemingly beautiful things were endless pain and struggles. Although these concubines seemed to have unlimited glory on the surface, they actually carried heavy pressure and responsibilities.

In this deep palace, they must always be vigilant and guard against the plots and frame-ups of others; at the same time, they must strive to win the emperor's favor to ensure their status and survival.

Despite this, Su Fei could still understand their deepest desires. After all, they were young girls in their prime, deserving of a life of freedom and happiness. But fate had led them into this magnificent prison, victims of the power struggle.

Here, they have to learn to disguise themselves and hide their inner fear and loneliness with false smiles.

Looking at the group of concubines laughing and talking happily, Concubine Su couldn't help but feel pity. She knew that in this harem full of intrigue and deception, no one could help themselves.

Perhaps, only at this moment can they truly let go of all burdens and fully enjoy this rare relaxation and pleasure.
