I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

Wanpin was quite calm at first. She was not shocked when she suddenly saw a moving doll. She carefully sent the people who were serving her away, picked up the doll with her own hands, and placed it on the seat.

She first took out a handkerchief, then gently dipped it in rose water, and then carefully wiped the stains on the puppet bit by bit. Although this was not particularly effective for the puppet, it at least made it no longer as embarrassed as when it first arrived here.

Liu Zhirou was very surprised. Looking at Concubine Wan, she was completely different from Concubine Liang. It was obvious that she was not unaware of the abnormality in the palace.

This is a good thing, but also a bad thing. It is a good thing because Liu Zhirou found that her choice was not wrong, and Wanpin was indeed a very important person. The bad thing is that Liu Zhirou found that there was one more person she needed to be wary of in the palace, and the overall situation, which was already clear, seemed to have become more confusing.

"Sir, what should we do next?" Concubine Wan asked respectfully.

"Are you talking about what you should do, or what I should do?" Liu Zhirou originally planned to show her friendliness and then communicate with Wanpin about their mutual understanding.

But Concubine Wan took the initiative and made a good start, so Liu Zhirou gave up her idea and prepared to ask Concubine Wan some questions first.

As for whether it would anger Concubine Wan, Liu Zhirou didn't care particularly. After all, she didn't promise anything and had no intention of deceiving Concubine Wan. All her words were just in line with Concubine Wan's wishes.

Of course, the ultimate support for all of this is Liu Zhirou's own powerful strength. Although her real body is not here, since she obtained the soul foundation left by Wang Fuhai, her strength has made a small leap. Even if she is not in the palace, she can still control the puppet to exert a certain combat effectiveness.

In this situation, she was not really afraid of Wanpin. Even if there was something special about Wanpin, Liu Zhirou was confident that she could escape with her puppet.

After all, after practicing "Calm Mind", Liu Zhirou was almost immune to most mental influences. Apart from mental influences, the physical damage caused by these supernatural forces active in the palace was indeed very small.

One thing can show that, although there have been big problems for so many years, the entire palace has not suffered any particularly serious damage. At most, there would be a fire every few years that would burn a few things.

If it was really the kind of high-level world of demons, gods and ghosts that Liu Zhirou had imagined at the beginning, let alone the palace, even the capital would have been destroyed countless times!

"Oh, my lord, how can you still be in the mood to make jokes at this time? Something big is going to happen!" Concubine Wan did not suspect anything, she just complained casually.

"Are you talking about the emperor's affairs?" Liu Zhirou's heart moved, and she immediately took the opportunity to mention the emperor.

Most of the things that happened in the harem were related to the emperor, whether it was the fights between the concubines or something about the mysterious side. No matter what Wanpin was actually talking about, it was always right to mention the emperor.

"What? The Emperor's affairs? Does the Emperor know about Brother Shu? What should we do, sir? He will kill Brother Shu!" Sure enough, Concubine Wan began to panic, and the more she panicked, the more information leaked out of her mouth.

"You should believe in Guo Jieshu. If he doesn't even have this ability, then there's no need to talk about the future!" When the word "shu" was mentioned, Liu Zhirou immediately thought of Guo Jieshu, who had been active in the mouths of many important figures. This person was said to be the illegitimate son of Duke Deng, but he was quite talented.

The appearance rate is a bit high, Liu Zhirou thought.

"My lord, you can't just ignore him!" Upon hearing this, Concubine Wan couldn't help but become anxious. Liu Zhirou was not surprised at all, but she was a little impressed by Guo Jieshu's unique charm that could attract so many beautiful girls with different personalities.

Logically speaking, Guo Jieshu should have died outside. After all, when the emperor punished Duke Deng's Mansion, he showed them no mercy at all and did not tolerate the so-called old ministers of several dynasties. Basically, all adult males had been ordered to be killed by the emperor. Even women and underage children were exiled to the border, far away from the capital.

Although Guo Jieshu has not married yet, he has already taken a concubine, which basically declares him an adult in terms of law. In other words, Guo Jieshu is also an important member of the beheading list.

But it is obvious that Guo Jieshu luckily escaped this catastrophe and gathered a group of forces. So what Wanpin said about Guo Jieshu, could it be that he escaped punishment, saved his life, and lurked in the capital, possibly plotting something ill?

It seemed possible, but Liu Zhirou felt it was not the case. Guo Jieshu was not such a casual guy. If he just wanted to stay in the capital, the best way was to hide his identity, change his new identity, continue to mix in the capital, and try to cut off most of his previous interpersonal relationships to avoid being exposed.

However, Guo Jieshu seemed to be quite high-profile. Wanpin was not that important to Guo Jieshu. Instead, she would easily expose himself, but there was no need to maintain interpersonal relationships.

If Guo Jieshu was really just lurking in the capital, he should naturally break off his relationship with such a woman, no matter how sweet their past was. This is the most basic operation of a traitor.

Concubine Wan cannot bring any convenience to his future life and activities, but may very likely implicate him. Concubine Wan has not been favored recently, but no matter how unfavored she is, she is still the emperor's woman, and she lives in the harem with strict palace rules.

Guo Jieshu would have to take a huge risk to contact her. And Wanpin didn't seem to be a very scheming person. If she accidentally said something in the palace, their plan would be ruined.

It is impossible that Guo Jieshu was unaware of this, but he still did it. Either Wanpin's status and position were too special and Guo Jieshu needed her presence to help him hold his ground, or things had progressed to a certain extent and he had nothing to fear even if they were exposed.

No matter which point it is, Guo Jieshu has great ambitions.
