I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

Liu Zhirou's initial guess was not wrong. Wang Fuhai and A'man were indeed the late crown prince's men. However, there was one thing that was seriously inconsistent with the information she had previously inquired about. The late crown prince was not killed by the current emperor. He committed suicide.

This shocked Liu Zhirou greatly, and made her realize for the first time that the emperor she was facing was not as evil as she had imagined.

After all, according to the rumors, the former emperor and the former crown prince were both killed by the current emperor. Since he even committed patricide, fratricide is naturally not something particularly difficult to accept.

However, Wang Fuhai's memory clearly recorded that the former crown prince committed suicide, and before his death, he specifically summoned all the palace servants who had served him together and reminded them not to harbor resentment or revenge because of his departure.

When they were alive, the late prince's followers also did not seek revenge, but they all committed suicide in the late prince's palace, and in the end they all turned into resentful spirits.

After turning into resentful spirits, they could hardly conceal their endless hatred in their hearts, so they wandered around the palace at will, committing many bloody crimes, until the current emperor invited a legendary master to seek relief for them.

Although they were not able to completely free themselves, they were still suppressed to a certain extent in the end. Most of the time they could only be spectators. Only when the moment was particularly important, or when the intentions between each other were particularly strong, could they come out and do something.

After reading Wang Fuhai's memory, Liu Zhirou's first reaction was disbelief. If becoming a ghost after death could be so magical, there wouldn't be so many evil people living at large in this world.

There were countless people who died unjustly in the palace, and everyone had resentment in their hearts, but the vast majority of people could only turn into confused and unconscious ghosts after death. Some people could not even form ghosts. Once dead, they were dead, and nothing was left behind except a corpse.

However, in Wang Fuhai's memory, several of the former prince's confidants were basically successfully transformed into resentful spirits, and they were not the kind of resentful spirits with only instincts. Otherwise, they would not have caused so much unrest in the palace.

How lucky did the late crown prince have to meet so many talented followers at the same time?

But the facts have defeated Liu Zhirou's disbelief. So many victims are obvious, and A'man and Wang Fuhai have basically never concealed their actions.

So Liu Zhirou changed her mind and began to wonder whether all these abnormalities were caused by the former crown prince?

The biggest commonality among these followers who became resentful spirits is that they all committed suicide in the prince's bedroom and followed the prince away. Was it because of something the prince did, or was there something special about the prince that caused all this to happen?

Liu Zhirou tended to believe the former guess. After removing the special filters of Wang Fuhai's memory about the prince, Liu Zhirou had to admit that the former prince was a very wise man. Even though the current emperor had tried his best to eliminate the influence of the former prince in the court, there were still many people praising the virtues of the former prince.

But Liu Zhirou knew very well that virtue was completely useless at a time like this, and it was not uncommon for virtuous people to die unjustly. More importantly, Liu Zhirou had seen something similar to the pattern on Doctor Ye's arm in Wang Fuhai's memory!

Could it be that the reason why Imperial Doctor Ye attacked Concubine Chen so brazenly was because of Wang Fuhai and A'man behind the scenes?

This is not necessarily impossible. After all, Wang Fuhai and A'man have always been the abortion pioneers in the palace. Basically every pregnant concubine has been harassed by them. If Liu Zhirou's first false pregnancy had not lasted for a short time, and something had happened because of Concubine Shu, then she might have been harassed by this abortion pioneer team.

But there seems to be something wrong with thinking this way. After all, when Ai Ziyi was pregnant, the emperor adopted a protective attitude towards Ai Ziyi's child, at least on the surface. Although this protection did not bring any particularly obvious benefits to Ai Ziyi, this attitude was there after all.

But when it came to Concubine Chen, after Doctor Ye stabbed Concubine Chen, Dandan immediately rushed out of the palace. At that time, the emperor had already cleared the area with the imperial guards, and stood outside in full battle array, ready to send his beloved concubine and the child in her belly to heaven together.

So what is the difference between Ai Ziyi and Chen Fei? Ai Ziyi is the daughter of a general who was selected through the orthodox selection, while Chen Fei is the maid of the Queen Mother.

This was the first thing Liu Zhirou thought of. The Emperor was deliberately isolating the influence of the Queen Mother's faction, trying to destroy the Queen Mother's hope of taking power. This could be explained, but she still felt that something was wrong.

Coupled with Liu Zhijin who suddenly disappeared from her family, and Biyun who became unexpectedly pregnant after only being favored once, there seemed to be a force that was rapidly pushing the situation in the entire palace forward, condensing the evolution that would have taken several years or even more than ten years into a few months.

Liu Zhirou only thought about it for a moment and quickly put it aside. After all, she was not qualified to wrestle with something related to the world situation. Even if she thought about it, it would be futile and would only cause more trouble for herself.

Her main priority now is to deal with the current situation, the most important of which includes the emperor's hostility and the influence of the evil Buddha.

The influence of the evil Buddha is also an aspect that cannot be underestimated. Although Liu Zhirou practiced the skills extracted from the system, this can only stabilize her own state, and it cannot be confirmed that the evil Buddha really has no influence on her at all.

Although Liu Zhirou had prepared a few backup plans, she had no intention of using them unless the situation became irreversible.

So how can she divert the evil Buddha's attention? In fact, she has already implemented this. The Queen Mother found that the former prince's entourage had sneaked into her territory and wanted to commit murders against her people. In any case, she had to share a certain amount of firepower.

Moreover, Wang Fuhai is in her hands, and his current status to the outside world is uncertain whether he is alive or dead. I think Wang Fuhai's accomplices will at least take some action.

Liu Zhirou didn't ask them to send them away one by one like the Calabash Brothers saved their grandfather, she just hoped that they could have some influence on the Queen Mother at the right time.

Liu Zhirou has now shifted her attention back to the palace, to a person whom she once cared about but has now long forgotten.

Concubine Wei, or rather, she should be called Concubine Wan now.
