The beauty who wears fast has many babies

Although life was peaceful here, Zhou Chongli was still writing furiously in the imperial study.

"Li Xian, have most of the concubines in the harem left?" Zhou Chongli asked, looking at the memorial in front of him.

"In reply to the emperor, the only ones left in the palace now are the concubines in the cold palace and Wu," Eunuch Li stepped forward and answered.

"Wu agreed?" Zhou Chongli looked up in confusion.

"It's Concubine Wu who lost her child in Funing Palace before. She is a little crazy now. I don't know how to deal with her." Eunuch Li asked.

"No one from her family came to pick her up?" Zhou Chongli remembered that this woman had drugged him for the sake of the child.

"The Wu family has changed its head now, and the family probably doesn't want to take over."

"In that case, just keep him in the palace for the time being. We can discuss it with the Queen before making any plans. Send someone to keep an eye on him." Zhou Chongli instructed.

"Yes, what should we do with the emperor and the ladies in the cold palace?" Eunuch Li asked.

There are not many concubines of Zhou Chongli in the cold palace. Most of them are the concubines of the previous emperor, and they should be quite old now.

"Please grant them all amnesty and send them home." Zhou Chongli waved his hand.

"Yes." Eunuch Li responded and immediately arranged for Li Yang to take people to take charge of the matter.

The concubines in the cold palace who received the imperial edict cried with joy and began to pack up their things. Only Concubine Wu sat in front of the bronze mirror without moving.

"Sister, we can finally leave here." The palace maid beside her said excitedly.

The former Concubine Wu had a hollow look in her eyes and murmured to herself: "I am not willing to accept this, I am not willing to accept this..."

She thought of her former glory and favor, but now she had ended up like this.

"I want revenge. I want to make the man who abandoned me pay the price!" A trace of determination appeared on Wu Bin's face.

Time flies! Ten months have already passed in the blink of an eye. Now, my three sons are three years old, and today, the one-year-old ceremony for my two daughters is about to begin.

Wu Li carefully arranged everything early in the morning. She asked the palace maids to prepare all the necessary items for the "Zhuazhou" ceremony, ensuring that every detail was perfect. At the same time, Zhou Chongli also finished his court affairs early and hurried to Fengyi Palace to share this special moment with his family.

On this day, the entire palace was filled with joy and warmth. The maids busily prepared the venue, arranging the exquisite items in an orderly manner. Zhou Chongli and Wu Li sat nearby, watching the children's performance with anticipation.

With a clear laugh, the eldest daughter was carried into the palace by her nurse. She was wearing a pink dress and looked very cute. Then, the second daughter was brought in. She blinked her big eyes and looked around curiously.

The ceremony officially began. The eldest daughter was placed on the ground covered with red cloth. Surrounded by a variety of items: books, an abacus, gold and silver treasures, brushes, inkstones, and so on. Without hesitation, the eldest daughter crawled towards an ancient tome and clutched it tightly, as if she had a special interest in knowledge. Everyone praised her, believing this to be a sign of her future talent.

Next came the second daughter's turn. She was also placed on the ground, but this time she didn't act immediately like her older sister. She first surveyed the surrounding objects, then slowly crawled over to the pile of gold and silver treasures, reaching out her tiny hands and gently touching them. Finally, she picked up a delicate jade pendant and, smiling, handed it to the nurse. Everyone laughed, praising her for her discerning taste.

The ceremony ended successfully, and Zhou Chongli and Wuli looked at their children with great joy. They knew that no matter what path their children chose in the future, they would give them their full support.

"Your Majesty, do you remember the one-year-old ceremony of the Hepo brothers? It was a complete chaos." Wu Li said with a smile.

"Yeah, in the end, nothing was caught and it was a mess. It's better that my daughter is well-behaved." Zhou Chongli couldn't help laughing when he thought of that scene.

Zhou Chongli turned to look at Wu Li and asked softly, "Madam, what do you think our daughter will like in the future?"

Wu Li smiled gently and said, "They are still young and have unlimited possibilities in the future. We just need to give them enough care and guidance and let them grow freely."

At this moment, a palace maid hurried over and knelt down to report: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I just passed by the cold palace and found that Wu Yingqi has disappeared..."

Zhou Chongli's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "What's going on? Didn't we ask someone to watch her?"

The maid was so frightened that she trembled all over and cried out, "I don't know, I didn't see him when I went to deliver food this morning..."

Wu Li comforted him, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Perhaps she just sneaked out for a walk."

Zhou Chongli frowned, feeling that things were more complicated than they seemed. He ordered, "Send more people to search for Wu Da Ying. We must find him alive or dead!"

(Wu Da Ying is Wu Bin.)

"A Li, send the person out of the palace this time. I forgot about her when I was busy." Zhou Chongli said impatiently.

"Okay, we all support you. But, isn't it said that her family doesn't want to take her back?" Wu Li asked curiously.

"Alas, yes, in any case, she can't stay in the palace. She can be sent to Jinshan Temple and asked to be cared for." Zhou Chongli sighed. After all, she was his former concubine, and she had lost her child, and now her mind was not clear.

In the evening, the guards searched the palace for Wu Da Ying's whereabouts, but they could not find any clues. Just when everyone was at their wit's end, a young eunuch provided an important clue.

"Your Majesty, I just saw a figure flash by in the back garden. It looked like Wu Da Ying." The young eunuch said tremblingly.

Zhou Chongli's heart tightened, and he immediately led everyone to the back garden. In a remote corner, they found some bloodstains and torn clothes, which clearly showed that a fierce fight had taken place there.

"Damn it! Someone must have let her go on purpose." Zhou Chongli said angrily.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew by, bringing with it a faint fragrance. Zhou Chongli sniffed it and his face suddenly changed.

"This is... the Western Region's aphrodisiac incense! She must have been kidnapped." Zhou Chongli said gritting his teeth.

"Your Majesty, this matter is of no trivial importance. I'm afraid someone did it intentionally. We must find out who is behind this as soon as possible." Wu Li analyzed.

Zhou Chongli nodded, a look of determination flashing in his eyes. "Whoever dares to play tricks under my nose will be made to pay the price!"

At night, Zhou Chongli tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. "Ali, I always feel that this matter is not that simple. Why did Wu Da Ying suddenly disappear? What conspiracy is hidden behind this?"

"Your Majesty, you might as well ask the ministers for their opinions at tomorrow morning's court session. Perhaps they can provide some clues," Wu Li suggested.

The next morning, the court was abuzz with discussion. "Your Majesty, I believe this matter may be related to the remnants of the previous dynasty. They may be attempting to use Wu Da Ying to achieve some purpose," one minister said, bowing.

Zhou Chongli frowned. If this were true, the situation would be even more critical. "Pass on my order. Send more personnel to conduct a secret investigation and uncover the mastermind behind this!"
