I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

Ai Ziyi is currently doing very well in the palace, but she has not been carried away by it. After experiencing several ups and downs, she has become more mature and will not forget her own limitations just because the emperor gives her a little sweetness.

Moreover, he finally became alert and picked out several nails bought by other concubines from the maids serving beside him. Ai Ziyi was very dissatisfied with this, but this was not a decent statement after all.

This kind of thing has always been the unspoken rule in the palace. If you are sneaked in, you are considered incompetent and cannot be brought out into the open to make a scene.

So Ai Ziyi had to think of a way. She showed her unreasonable style as a favorite concubine, lost her temper a few times, and drove away many people who were released around her. Now, most of the people coming in were newcomers.

Ai Ziyi didn't have much tacit understanding with them, but she thought that the newcomers would be easier to bribe than those who already had saviors. Moreover, she was no longer in the weak state of pregnancy, so even if these people really wanted to harm her, it would not easily bring her any particularly irreparable consequences.

She was quite happy before she received Liu Zhirou's letter, but after she opened it and read it once, her pretty face immediately turned cold.

"Wang Fuhai..."

The maid next to her saw how terrible her face looked and her hand trembled and she broke a teacup.

"Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty, please spare me!" The maid knelt down in panic, her heart full of despair.

If it was the former Concubine Lan, perhaps the servants would not be so frightened. After all, the former Ai Ziyi was so innocent and cute. She was very friendly to the sisters in the palace and quite tolerant to the people below. As long as they did not commit any serious mistakes, she would not punish them.

But since she lost her child, Ai Ziyi's mood swings have become more and more severe, and she has become more and more moody. It is precisely because of this that the newly assigned palace maids and eunuchs to release Ai Ziyi are all very conscientious, fearing that something might go wrong.

The maid was filled with despair, thinking that she had made such a big mistake and there was absolutely no way she could stay there peacefully any longer. She might even be beaten with a stick.

The Ministry of Punishment in the palace has always been a model of flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. If a servant of a favored concubine was really sent to the Ministry of Punishment, he would not suffer any serious punishment. But what if he was a servant who was disliked by the favored concubine?

Those who were in charge of the execution wanted to please the most favored Concubine Lan, and her fate was predictable.

Although she had been running the palace for many years, she had not saved much money after all, at least definitely not enough to feed those greedy hounds. It seemed that she might not only lose a well-paid job, but also her life might be in danger.

Ai Ziyi was also woken up by the teacup falling to the ground.

She slowly loosened her grip and carefully smoothed out the wrinkled letter paper. At this point, her mood calmed down, and she even had the leisure to turn around and ask, "What's your name?"

"My name is Cuizhi." Cuizhi responded cautiously.

"Cuizhi? What a nice name." Ai Ziyi sighed unintentionally, and then asked softly, "Have you ever envied Lady Shen?"

Cuizhi must have heard of the name of Concubine Shen. After all, she was a ruthless person who was able to ascend to the position of concubine from a maid.

Although Concubine Shen does not seem to be so favored now, she successfully became pregnant with the dragon fetus after being favored once, and was promoted again and again because of this.

In Cuizhi's opinion, if Ai Ziyi had not overtaken the emperor by taking care of him in times of crisis, the most favored concubine now would probably be Concubine Shen.

But Cuizhi understood very well that the reason why Concubine Shen was so lucky to gain the emperor's favor was, on the one hand, that she did have extraordinary qualities, and on the other hand, that she was lucky to follow a master like Concubine Chun who was kind-hearted by nature!

Everyone knows that Concubine Chun also experienced the pain of miscarriage before, but she remained neither arrogant nor impatient, nor did she lose control of her emotions. She remained humble and peaceful in her dealings with others. No wonder the Empress Dowager likes her.

Looking at her current superior, Concubine Lan, Cuizhi had no doubt that if she ever showed any tendency to imitate Concubine Shen, her master would definitely make sure she could never turn over again without hesitation.

So she quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed madly:

"I don't dare, I don't dare! I don't dare!"

"I am a humble servant, a weak and insignificant person, and have never thought of serving the emperor. I only hope that I can leave the palace when I am old enough, find an honest man to marry, and spend the rest of my life with him."

Ai Ziyi was not surprised by what the other party said. It was exactly what she wanted. Of course, she was not bored and wanted to hit the maid beside her. She just found an opportunity that might attract Wang Fuhai's attention.

Although Ai Ziyi didn't know Wang Fuhai well enough, his recent appearances were all related to pregnant concubines. Ai Ziyi didn't know whether Concubine Xian and Concubine Shen, who were also pregnant, had been harassed by Wang Fuhai, but this did not hinder her determination to implement this plan.

Yes, she wanted to use Cuizhi to lure Wang Fuhai into taking action, and then give him a thunderous revenge.

So it is not impossible to give this green branch a little benefit before that.

Ai Ziyi only needed to create a coincidence to make the emperor favor this maid with delicate features. As for whether this favor could make her pregnant, it was not a very important matter. It was better to say that Ai Ziyi had never intended to let this little maid beside her get pregnant with the emperor's child. She only needed to give this little maid some medicine to delay her menstrual period, and then find a bribed imperial physician to lie that she was suspected of being pregnant.

If Wang Fuhai could be brought out, everyone would be happy. If he could not be brought out, Ai Ziyi herself would not be affected. It was Cuizhi who decided to climb the bed, and it was Cuizhi who took the medicine. In the end, it was only found that Cuizhi was a little maid who faked pregnancy for the favor of the emperor.

As for whether this little palace maid would have a way to survive in the future, how could Ai Ziyi care?

From the moment she lost her child, she was determined to abandon her innocence and cowardice.
