I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

It was not until the Queen said goodbye and left that the Queen Mother changed her previous nonchalant look and became serious.

She tapped the handrail gently, and someone came forward and carefully cleaned the path the queen had walked when she came, and even wiped it with a wet rag, as if the person who had come to visit her before was not her daughter-in-law, but some pathogen.

An old maid dressed quite simply came forward and served tea to the empress dowager, and then comforted her: "Your Majesty, don't worry. This matter has nothing to do with you. If the current emperor is really not good, the next one will still respect you as the Grand Empress Dowager."

She looked like someone of low status, but she spoke quite casually, without any of the respectful manner of ordinary palace servants.

"It's not as simple as you say. If we're not careful, we could end up destroying our country and our race!"

"If I had a choice, I would not want to disregard the relationship between husband and wife and support this evil son to take the throne! But the late emperor was too unrestrained in his later years, and his heart and eyes were full of that vixen Fan!"

Even though many years had passed, the Queen Mother was still very angry when she mentioned this matter again. Even her originally calm tone had changed. Liu Zhirou had always seen the Queen Mother with a calm demeanor before, and suddenly seeing her so lively, she couldn't help but become curious.

She now feels a bit like she is watching a live broadcast, except that the picture quality is a bit poor, and there is a layer of strange filters on it. However, it is a good thing to watch it. At least under normal circumstances, she has absolutely no right to know about what is happening in the Empress Dowager's palace. Now at least she can get some information.

However, it would be even better if a keyword search could be added. Of course, Liu Zhirou was just thinking about this and did not dare to be too greedy.

If she draws the lottery next time, she still hopes to draw a skill that is more applicable.

The random thoughts in her mind did not affect her concentration at all as she listened to the conversation in the Empress Dowager's palace. She had a feeling that she could hear a lot of important things from today's conversation.

Some mysteries that have troubled her for a long time will also disappear.

"All of this is in the past. Why are you still bringing up these troubles now? After all, Fan has become a pile of bones in a grave, but you are still the queen dowager, a woman of great wealth and status."

The old nanny became a little anxious when she saw that the empress dowager's taboo had been violated, and she hurriedly spoke to comfort her.

The Queen Mother calmed down a little and began to ponder.

"You're right, but if we just leave it alone, I'm afraid it will cause serious trouble in the future!"

"Aman and Wang Fuhai have been dead for who knows how many years, but they are still causing chaos in the palace. If we don't deal with them, there will never be peace in the palace!"

The Queen Mother's words were very serious. It was obvious that Ai Ziyi's previous experience had sounded a wake-up call for her, making her unwilling to continue to maintain the image of an Queen Mother who ate vegetarian food, chanted Buddhist scriptures, and practiced seclusion in the palace all day long.

She was going to find a way to resolve the cause of the chaos.

"My lady, I dare to say that we should just live our peaceful lives in the harem behind closed doors. There are still the emperor and the empress to worry about. Why bother with things that have nothing to do with us?"

The old nanny obviously held a completely different opinion from the Queen Mother, but it was difficult for her to say it directly, so she could only continue to comfort her.

"Do you think I don't want to live a peaceful life? But the current situation is getting worse and worse, we have to be on guard! In the early years, the late queen gave birth to the eldest and second princes, Concubine Sumin gave birth to the third prince, and the queen and Concubine Chen also gave birth to daughters. It can be seen that there is no problem with the emperor's health."

"But in recent years, not to mention the number of children born, even the number of concubines who get pregnant is decreasing, almost extinct. This year, Concubine Chun got pregnant once, but she died after just two or three months. Concubine Lan got pregnant once, and she was able to show her pregnancy, but she was still murdered by Wang Fuhai."

"If the resentment of those evil creatures grows stronger, it is inevitable that one day it will affect you and me. By then, it will be too late to regret!"

Perhaps because there was no one else around, the Queen Mother spoke quite bluntly, almost telling the people around her that what she was worried about was nothing else but her own life.

Liu Zhirou agreed with this reason. Although she didn't hear the whole story, she could more or less guess the truth of the matter based on the information she had.

When the current emperor was competing for the throne with the former deposed crown prince, he must have used some dishonorable means and colluded with the queen mother to inherit the throne.

Wang Fuhai, A'man and others who had caused chaos in the palace before were all supporters of the deposed prince. Even after they were killed, they remained in the world for some inexplicable reasons, causing great trouble to the current emperor.
