The beauty who wears fast has many babies

Wu Li brought Li and a group of palace maids to Concubine Li's palace and sat down. They sat there awkwardly for a while as if they were glued to the chair.

Finally, she found an opportunity, quietly put the pill into the water, watched Concubine Li drink it, and then got up and left.

After Wu Li left, Li Meiren felt something was wrong. She felt that Wu Li's behavior today was strange, and the glass of water also made her feel uncomfortable.

But after all, it was in her own palace, and she had brought the water herself, and Wuli had also drunk it. Thinking of this, Concubine Li relaxed her guard.

The next day, all the concubines went to pay their respects to the Queen Mother as usual. The only difference was that Concubine Xue, Concubine Lü, and Concubine Li were not there.

One of them claimed to be ill, fearing he might infect the Empress Dowager, and sent a messenger to report the cause. It was unclear whether he was truly ill or simply too embarrassed to leave the house because of a punishment from the Emperor.

One has been banished to the cold palace and cannot be released without an imperial decree.

One is still in confinement and cannot come to pay his respects.

The hall, which used to be just big enough for people to sit in, now seemed a little deserted.

"All sit down."

"Is Concubine Li doing well these days?" The Queen Mother looked at Wu Li with eyes full of kindness.

Wu Li held her stomach and stood up and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother. I am fine."

"That's good." The Queen Mother smiled kindly and nodded.

"I think Sister Li's belly doesn't look like a four-month-old baby, but more like a seven or eight-month-old baby." One of the concubines in the palace mentioned this, and everyone started talking at once.

The Queen Mother looked at Wu Li's belly and became more suspicious. The Emperor had only had one princess, Yun Su, for all these years. Could it be such a coincidence that she got pregnant at once?

Wu Li looked at the Queen Mother's gradually changing eyes and said, "Perhaps I haven't felt sick to my stomach recently, so I've eaten more and gained a lot of weight."

"Speaking of which, I went to sit with Concubine Li yesterday and saw her vomiting from time to time, just like when I had morning sickness." Wu Li looked at the Queen Mother and said.

"Oh? Are you serious?" The Queen Mother's attention was instantly diverted.

Concubine Du thought to herself, "I just heard about this yesterday from a palace maid. I had intended to tell her today so I could send Concubine Li off early. I didn't expect someone else to get there first. So what?"

Concubine Du continued, "Sister Li is right. I also heard yesterday that Concubine Li seems to be pregnant."

"Empress Dowager, let me take a look, or should we ask the imperial physician to take a look?" Concubine Liu lowered her head and thought for a while before suggesting.

"Yes, if it is really possible, my son Yunsu will have a younger brother or sister." Concubine Su looked up at the Queen Mother with a happy face and said.

At this time, Lady Li also found some abnormal symptoms in her body. She began to vomit frequently and her appetite became very poor. She was shocked. Could she really be pregnant?

Concubine Li decided to ask the imperial physician for a diagnosis.

At this time, the news that Concubine Li was suspected of being pregnant reached the ears of the emperor and the empress dowager.

Before Concubine Li could send for the imperial physician, the Empress Dowager and the concubines arrived. Then, the Emperor's personal guards arrived with the imperial physicians.

The imperial physicians arrived at the order. After a thorough examination, they looked at each other in bewilderment, then knelt down to congratulate Lady Li: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! You are indeed pregnant with a Dragonborn."

Concubine Li was overjoyed upon hearing this, but at the same time, she was also a little worried. She knew that the competition in the harem was extremely cruel. Now that she was pregnant, she didn't know how much jealousy and conspiracy would arise.

When the emperor heard the news, he was very pleased. He immediately rewarded Concubine Li with many precious items and told her to rest well.

In every palace, guards were seen taking the imperial physicians hurriedly in one direction, waiting for the person who came to inquire about the news to return.

In Concubine Xue's palace.

After a while, the maid who had secretly followed the guard out to inquire about the news came back. She said to Concubine Xue excitedly, "Your Majesty, it turns out that Concubine Li is pregnant!"

Upon hearing the news, Concubine Xue widened her eyes in surprise and almost dropped the teacup in her hand.

The young palace maid continued, "I heard that Concubine Li is already two months pregnant, and her pulse is strong. The imperial physician said it's very likely she's carrying a prince! When the Emperor heard this, he was overjoyed, calling it a blessing from heaven for the Great Zhou. He immediately ordered Concubine Li to be promoted to a noble lady and bestowed many precious rewards upon her."

Concubine Xue's face turned pale as she murmured to herself, "How could this happen? I have always been very careful and cautious, so why did she still get pregnant..."

The young palace maid consoled her, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. After all, there's still a long time before the birth, and anything could change."

Concubine Xue took a deep breath, a fierce look flashed in her eyes, and she whispered, "No, I can't just sit there and wait for death. I must find a way to eliminate this hidden danger and never let her give birth to the child smoothly."

The young maid looked at the queen nervously and asked, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"

Concubine Xue pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I need to plan carefully, but no matter what, I must make sure that the bastard in that woman's belly cannot be born safely." After saying that, she clenched her fists tightly, as if she had made up her mind.

A few days later, the Dali Temple's investigation results came back, confirming Chuntao's testimony. Concubine Lü was stripped of her title, demoted to a commoner, and immediately exiled to a desolate land. Concubine Li, however, was spared due to her pregnancy and was even granted the title of Noble Lady Li.

Li Guiren moved into a larger palace and received more preferential treatment. However, she was not at ease in her heart. She knew that the struggle in the harem had just begun and she had to be more cautious.

One day, Concubine Li was walking in the garden when she suddenly met Concubine Du.

Concubine Du smiled and congratulated Concubine Li: "Congratulations, sister, you got what you wished for."

Concubine Li also responded politely: "Thank you, sister. If you hadn't helped me that day, I would have been the same as Concubine Lu."

Lady Du raised her hand to brush her hair and said meaningfully, "Sister, you are a lucky person. Even if I don't say a few kind words, you can turn misfortune into good fortune."

Li Guiren laughed awkwardly and said, "Sister, that's not true."

The two chatted for a while, and then Concubine Du left on the pretext of having something to do.

Li Guiren always felt that Du Guiren's smile was a little strange, but she couldn't put her finger on it. At this moment, she suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground. The maids around her hurriedly supported her and sent her back to the palace.

The imperial physician came to treat her, but could not diagnose the cause. Concubine Li's health deteriorated, and she began to suspect someone was secretly harming her. She recalled Concubine Lü's experience, and her fear grew.

At the same time, Wu Li also learned about Li Guiren's situation. She smiled secretly in her heart, knowing that everything was under her control.

In the magnificent Empress Dowager's palace, it was learned that Concubine Li was becoming increasingly thin.

"What's going on? How do the palace maids and eunuchs serve Concubine Li?" asked the Queen Mother, turning the Buddhist beads in her hand.

"I heard that even the Imperial Hospital couldn't find the cause of the disease." The nanny who was serving beside him replied while lighting a candle.

"Is there no cause, or is there no cause at all?" The Empress Dowager pondered for a moment, her suspicions growing that Concubine Li was playing tricks on her. She had seen plenty of false pregnancies in the harem, but the imperial physician that day had been personally summoned by someone close to the Emperor, so there shouldn't be any mistakes.

"Your Majesty, besides this matter, I have another matter to report to you."

"Oh?" The Queen Mother stopped what she was doing and waited for the other party to continue.

"I heard from the people below that Concubine Li's belly is so big that it doesn't look like a normal four-month pregnancy. It looks more like a seventh or eighth month." The old nanny put down the fire starter in her hand and said respectfully.

"I remember that the concubines also mentioned it when I paid my respects a few days ago." The more the empress dowager thought about it, the more shocked she became.

The Queen Mother knew that within the imperial palace, pure blood was of paramount importance. Every drop of royal blood passed down was crucial to the future of the nation.

Therefore, now that rumors were spreading, how could the Queen Mother sit idly by? She immediately summoned the Imperial Household Department, the department in charge of this matter, to investigate the matter in detail.

The Queen Mother decided to go in person, under the pretext of a visit, to observe Wu Li's physique and behavior closely.

"Empress! The Empress Dowager is here!" Xiuhong ran into the bedroom excitedly and nervously and woke up Wuli who was taking a nap.

"Huh? Don't panic, help me up." Wu Li climbed up in a daze.

My belly has been getting bigger recently. Now I need someone to support me when I get up at night. I can't see my feet when I stand up.

Before Wu Li came out, she heard the Queen Mother's voice: "How is your health lately, Concubine Li? I have brought the imperial physician to see you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'm fine, but I'm a little heavy." Wu Li said as she paid her respects to the Empress Dowager.

"No need to be so polite, Doctor Lin, please come and take a look." After the empress dowager sat down, she called the doctor forward.

"Yes."

After careful observation and testing by Imperial Physician Lin, the Empress Dowager discovered that Wu Li's abdomen was unusually full, unlike a woman pregnant with only one child. She felt somewhat puzzled but didn't dare to confirm.

"Your Majesty, I am a humble official with limited knowledge. Concubine Li's belly is not the size of an ordinary single baby. It may be twins. It would be safer to have two more imperial physicians examine it." Imperial Physician Lin looked up at the Empress Dowager with an incredulous look and said.

"Okay, okay, come, call the Imperial Hospital staff over and take a good look." The Queen Mother exclaimed three times in a full-throated voice. She looked extremely happy, as if she had already determined that Wu Li was pregnant with twins.

The palace maids and eunuchs serving in Guanju Palace were all very happy. If their master was having twins, there would definitely be rewards.

Finally, after reconfirmation, the imperial physician announced that Wuli was pregnant with twins. The empress dowager was surprised and delighted, and her attitude towards Wuli changed 180 degrees.

"Quick, go and get the hundred-year-old ginseng from my palace." The Queen Mother waved her hands and ordered.

"Send someone to tell the emperor the good news, hahahaha."

"Congratulations, Queen Mother. Congratulations, Queen Mother." Everyone knelt down and congratulated her.

"Okay, rewards, everyone will get rewards." The Queen Mother was in a good mood and looked a lot younger.

The entire Guanju Palace was filled with joy.

"Mother, is it true that Concubine Li is pregnant with twins?" Zhou Chongli rushed into the hall and asked anxiously before he even stood still.

He had been worried recently because of the affairs in the harem and the preparation of winter clothes and quilts for the three armies to keep out the cold. This was the happiest news he had heard in recent days.

Zhou Chongli walked to Wu Li and supported him, his eyes full of joy.

"If it's not true, could it be fake?" The Queen Mother said, looking at the Emperor's silly words.

"Alright, I'll have someone go check on Concubine Li. I heard she wasn't feeling well recently."

"Emperor, no matter how busy you are, you must visit the harem from time to time. Offspring are the most important." The empress dowager advised.

Then he stood up and said, "I'm tired, so I'll go back first."

After saying that, he left with the help of the old nanny. Perhaps his worries were put aside and he breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt a little tired. After all, he was old.

"Come here, pass on the message, whoever gives me a son first, I will make her the queen!"

Everyone was shocked. The emperor was blatantly favoring Concubine Li.

But not to mention that Concubine Li was born two months earlier, doesn't this clearly tell everyone that the Emperor intends to make Concubine Li the Queen?

"Eunuch Li, you must send people to protect Concubine Li every day. No one can afford to make any mistakes!" Zhou Chongli's majestic voice carried a hint of unquestionableness.

He did it on purpose. He wanted to arrange everything for Li'er in advance so that she could be his wife legitimately.

"System, what's wrong with Zhou Chongli?" Wu Li said with a twitching mouth.

[You can understand this as schizophrenia. He thinks he is both an emperor and an ordinary husband.]

"What's his current favorability?"

【Host, 78.】

"I'm wondering, I feel like he loves the original owner to death, so why doesn't he have a high favorability towards her?" Wu Li asked puzzledly.

[Host, do you finally want to know? You only need to pay 50 points *^_^*] The system rarely showed any emotion.

"I don't want to know, thank you. My 500 points can be of great use." Wu Li rolled his eyes.

Isn't he afraid that if I become the queen, his son will have no protection from his mother's family and will find it difficult to win the support of the people? Wu Li could actually guess what was going on.

The emperor holds the greatest power, and it would take at least twenty years for his child to ascend the throne, giving him ample time to cultivate new forces for his son. Those with ill intentions or excessive power would naturally be quietly replaced.

Thinking of this, Wuli yawned.

"Li'er, are you tired?" Zhou Chongli looked at the person in his arms like a kitten and chuckled.

"Um……"

Listening to the gradually steady breathing in his arms, Zhou Chongli looked at everyone and said in a low voice, "Step back, everyone, keep your voices down."

When Wu Li woke up, Zhou Chongli was no longer there.

"Your Majesty, the ginseng sent by the Empress Dowager has been placed in the warehouse." The little palace maid helped Wuli up and put on his shoes.

Then he added, "Also, the Emperor has instructed you to inform him when you wake up to have dinner with you."

The little palace maid's eyes were filled with joy.

"What's there to be happy about?" Wu Li looked at her like that and teased her with a smile.

"Of course I'm happy. This shows that the emperor values ​​our queen. When the little prince is born, he won't be bullied by others." The little palace maid carefully helped Wu Li go to the toilet.

Wu Li tapped her nose and said, "Okay, you are right."

At the same time, Wu Li sighed silently in his heart that his body was becoming more and more clumsy, and he even needed someone to help him go to the toilet.

However, my task is not difficult, I basically just lie down.

What surprised him most was the emperor's attitude. He thought it would take a lot of effort, but he didn't expect that the emperor had already known Wuli and cared so much about her.
