I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

This person first appeared when the nanny was explaining the situation in the palace to Liu Zhirou. The nanny just mentioned it casually, saying that she was recommended by Concubine Xian and was favored for a while.

However, by the time Liu Zhirou entered the palace, she had already been given the title Wan, and was called Wanpin and moved out.

From this point, we can barely see that Concubine Shu did not think so highly of Liu Zhirou at first. She was just used to being arrogant and domineering, and suddenly she was offended by an insignificant guy, so she couldn't swallow this.

Of course, there may be another explanation, which is that the people under Concubine Shu are already subject to certain restrictions and are not so clear about the direction of the wind in the palace.

However, this Wanpin only enjoyed a period of glory after being promoted to a concubine. Not long after that, a new round of beauty pageantry began, and many beautiful girls entered the palace. Wanpin failed to retain the emperor's heart, and soon fell into obscurity, becoming an unknown concubine in the palace.

Liu Zhirou had paid attention to her for a while at the beginning, after all, she was also a concubine that the emperor had loved for a while. However, as she became more favored and rose in rank, she gradually stopped caring about Wanpin, who had fallen out of favor for a long time.

However, it was not until she read Wang Fuhai's memory that Liu Zhirou discovered an extremely horrifying fact.

Wanpin, Lady Wei, was once the daughter of the late crown prince!

The former crown prince is the current emperor’s elder brother, which means that the emperor has adopted his niece!

After reading this passage, Liu Zhirou was truly stunned. Fortunately, although Concubine Wan was favored after entering the palace, she had never been pregnant, otherwise the baby she gave birth to might have been a deformed one.

However, the same question arises. Although the former crown prince died before he inherited the throne, he was not like Prime Minister Shen, who was convicted of treason by his entire family and had his entire family killed. So why did this Wanpin change her name and identity to enter her uncle's harem?

Just as Liu Zhirou was about to continue looking for the answer in Wang Fuhai's memory, the door suddenly creaked and someone came in.

Liu Zhirou turned her head to take a look and saw Tan Xiang with red eyes.

"What's going on here, my sandalwood girl?"

"Your Majesty, I have failed in my duty..." Tan Xiang spoke, her voice a little hoarse, and it was obvious that she had been crying before.

"No one wants to see this kind of thing. You have done what you should do. The rest is just God's will." Liu Zhirou couldn't help but comfort him.

Liu Zhirou had a favorable impression of the senior palace maid who came to her side not long after she entered the palace.

After all, Tan Xiang was calm and steady, and he almost never influenced Liu Zhirou's actions, nor would he say anything particularly rash like Chun Tao. Tan Xiang took care of most of the things around Liu Zhirou in an orderly manner, which solved Liu Zhirou's worries and allowed her to devote more energy to the investigation.

Of course, there is a deeper reason why Liu Zhirou made such a decision. That is, although Tan Xiang looks like an ordinary palace maid on the surface, she was actually sent out by the Queen Mother, so there is no guarantee that there will not be any problems.

So no matter what, Liu Zhirou would not show too much abnormality in front of Tan Xiang, or she had never trusted anyone after traveling to this place. It might be tiring to do so, but at least it could ensure that her most important information would not be leaked and avoid being caught by others.

"But...if I had been more careful, perhaps you wouldn't have encountered such a thing..." Tan Xiang still looked very remorseful.

Liu Zhirou sighed and continued to comfort him, "How can you guard against thieves for a thousand days? As long as they are determined, they will attack me no matter what method they find. Although I was attacked this time, I was lucky to escape. This time, it also sounded a warning to the Queen Mother, and maybe I can avoid future disasters."

Liu Zhirou took great pains to coax the sandalwood girl beside her away and make her truly believe that she was not the culprit in this incident.

When Liu Zhirou came to her senses, she discovered that most of Wang Fuhai's soul had already dissipated.

This is really... terrible.

Even though Liu Zhirou was always calm, she couldn't hold it anymore at this moment. It was just like when she was watching a TV series in her previous life, and when it was getting exciting, it suddenly showed that she needed to become a member, which was even more serious than that.

Watching TV or not is not important to one's life, but whether or not one can get some information is directly related to how Liu Zhirou will live in the coming days, how she will live, and whether she can achieve her goals.
