I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

Biyun had just received a large number of rewards, was promoted in seniority, and was allowed by the emperor to live alone in a palace. This was supposed to be an extremely honorable thing, but she looked extremely frightened and restless.

I don’t know what kind of magical method she used, but now Biyun is no longer the pretty but not beautiful girl she was when she was with Liu Zhirou. Her originally slightly dark skin has now become fair and smooth, and she is as lovely as a porcelain doll.

But she looked extremely haggard. This haggardness was not due to physical fatigue, or the result of a huge physical and mental blow like Ai Ziyi, but seemed to be simply due to great psychological pressure.

Different from a group of concubines who were originally palace maids and became arrogant when they succeeded, she dismissed all the servants, neither allowing her personal maids to serve her nor the eunuchs to enter the house.

Until Eunuch Lu arrived.

Eunuch Lu is like a savior to her. If it weren't for Eunuch Lu, she would probably still be a head maid in Liu Zhirou's palace, and would not have the wealth and glory she has now.

It was precisely because of this that no matter how scared she was, Biyun had to pack her clothes and go meet Eunuch Lu.

Although Eunuch Lu was a eunuch, he actually had considerable power in the palace. Because he had the emperor's trust, most of the concubines in the harem did not dare to neglect the queen's favorite. He walked up to Biyun with a serious face and bowed slightly, "Your servant greets Lady Shen."

"Eunuch, why do you have to be so formal? It is because of your support that Biyun is where she is today..." Biyun went to greet him in a hurry. This Eunuch Lu was her only support in the palace and the reason why she was able to give birth to a child smoothly. She certainly would not be foolish enough to neglect such a golden thigh.

She was not as good as Liu Zhirou. No matter how miserable Liu Zhirou's life experience was, she was still a lady selected into the palace through a formal selection. After that, she helped the emperor to overthrow Concubine Shu and won the emperor's favor. Even if the people in the palace looked down on her, they could only gossip about her in secret.

She was different. She was just a slave who had the chance to sleep on the dragon bed once after being recommended by Liu Zhirou. She had neither a proper identity nor a suitable backer.

After Liu Zhirou went to serve the Queen Mother, everyone thought that she would choose to continue to follow her old master, but she gave up her plan to continue to be loyal to Liu Zhirou, and instead prepared to stay in the palace and try to gain more favor from the Emperor.

There is no doubt that she failed. If she had not accidentally detected a pregnancy pulse when diagnosing a healthy pulse two months later, the emperor probably would not have remembered her.

After she became pregnant, the emperor rewarded her a lot, but the way he looked at her became colder and colder. Biyun was very uneasy now, and always felt that something bad was going to happen. However, as a concubine, she could not drive out the emperor who had come to her room, so she could only serve him more carefully.

The emperor did not make any excessive demands and seemed to be interested in the baby in her belly, which made Biyun feel relieved.

The crying of newborn babies has not been heard in the palace for a long time. The Queen's eldest daughter is not in good health and has a brain disease. The second daughter of Concubine Chen is relatively healthy, but she is still young after all.

What's more, the princess has no way of inheriting the throne. Biyun also hopes to have a boy this time. After having a boy, her life in the palace will be better and things at home will turn around.

If you say that she has any particularly deep feelings for that damn Shen family, it is not the case. After all, her family was broken up and she was left wandering outside when she was very young. Her impression of the Shen family is probably not as strong as that of the Liu family. It's just that Eunuch Lu actually found her and paved such a way for her to succeed, so she has no reason not to give it a try.

When Biyun was originally in the Liu family, she seemed very decent and knew when to advance and retreat, but in fact she was also very arrogant and didn't think much of the noisy Chuntao and the timid Dongmei.

Later, she really lived up to her ambition. When Liu Zhirou entered the palace, she brought her into the palace. She got in touch with Eunuch Lu and was even recommended to become the emperor's concubine.

This was something she would never have dared to think about in the past, so no matter what kind of hardships she encountered or what kind of discrimination she suffered, she was determined to succeed in this journey.

But no matter how determined she was, she was still afraid when she was afraid, especially when she found that since she became pregnant, Eunuch Lu's attitude towards her seemed not as good as before. Before, Eunuch Lu really took care of her as his own son or nephew, but now Eunuch Lu treated her perfunctorily as if he was doing official business, which made Biyun feel very panicked and she didn't know what to do.

"Etiquette is most important in the palace. I thought the young lady already understood this principle." Eunuch Lu said indifferently.

"Yes, yes, I understand." Biyun originally wanted to use a few polite words to improve the relationship between herself and Eunuch Lu, but when she saw Eunuch Lu's serious look, she couldn't help but panic.

Am I doing something wrong?

Biyun really wanted to ask this, but in the end she swallowed the question back. She couldn't show her cowardly and incompetent side, as that would only accelerate the trend of her allies abandoning her, although she didn't have any allies now.

"My lady, take good care of your pregnancy and don't worry too much. Nothing is more important than the dragon baby in your belly right now." A strange light flashed in Eunuch Lu's slightly cloudy eyes, making him look like someone less than a living person.

"The emperor is now often distressed about being childless in middle age. If you can give birth to the emperor's fourth prince, you will definitely be favored. At that time, there will be hope for the Shen family to revive, and your blessing will come."
