I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

Liu Zhirou looked at Wanpin with interest, who was anxious but didn't dare to make any demands on her. This woman's care for Guo Jieshu could almost be seen in her eyes.

Love is really a confusing thing. Of course, the feelings between the two of them may be more than just love. It is impossible for Concubine Wan to have no complaints about her current situation.

Liu Zhirou could understand after a quick calculation of the time. When the late crown prince died, although Wanpin was not very old, she was definitely old enough to remember things. Overnight, her family was broken up, her father died, and her followers committed suicide for their master. Overnight, she went from being a county lord and future princess to a low-ranking concubine in her own uncle's harem.

It is impossible to say that there are no complaints. If Guo Jieshu, an outsider, ascends the throne, is it really a good choice for Wanpin?

"Sir, because the current emperor is incompetent and cruel, and kills loyal and good people, there are many voices of resentment in the court, and there are many rebellious intentions in the rivers and lakes. I am just a woman, with neither talent nor virtue, and I should not rashly enter the court, but..." Wanpin did not hesitate to put on a pitiful look and asked for help from the puppet in front of her who did not hide her inhumanity.

Of course, Liu Zhirou would not be soft-hearted because of the other party's poor acting skills. Concubine Wan was indeed pitiful, but which of the many women in the harem was not pitiful?

If Wanpin could not give her a reason that could convince her, she would never help Wanpin and Guo Jieshu in their rebellion.

Liu Zhirou was indeed extremely wary of the emperor, but that did not mean she was willing to kill him.

Vigilance and hatred are different. Although Liu Zhirou's relationship with the emperor since entering the palace was not very good, there had been no conflicts or resentments. The two of them could not be said to be respectful to each other, but at least they had not developed any irreconcilable hatred.

In this situation, being a knife for others was a rather stupid decision for Liu Zhirou. She wanted to get more information from Wanpin, including a series of information about her old friend Xianfei, as well as the information planned by Guo Jieshu and others.

Now an accident has occurred in Changning Palace. Liu Zhirou is not unaware of this matter. Her strength is steadily improving, and her ability to control ghosts is becoming stronger. Changning Palace can be said to be a place with unique advantages.

Changning Palace was the most unfriendly palace for servants because of the existence of the eldest princess. When servants tried to restrain the mad eldest princess, if they were too gentle, the princess would run away. If they were too harsh, the empress would vent her anger, reprimand her, or even punish her with a stick.

In this situation, they were caught in a dilemma. Many servants who were physically weak, lacked abilities, or had poor psychological qualities either died unjustly in Changning Palace or scared themselves and eventually lost their lives.

Therefore, there are quite a lot of ghosts in Changning Palace. Although they have no memories of their previous lives, nor the ability to harm people, and will even flee on their own when there are many people around, there is no problem if they are controlled by Liu Zhirou to act as eyes and ears.

Liu Zhirou didn't dare to approach the main hall directly. The ghost she controlled had been destroyed the moment the strange child was brought into the house.

But even if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she knew that something big must have happened in Changning Palace, and it was most likely a setup against the emperor.

Liu Zhirou thought for a moment, and couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine. After all, this situation was extremely cruel, with everything from the inside to the outside. If the emperor didn't come up with some reliable skills to turn the tables, he would probably be nailed to the pillar of shame.

However, Liu Zhirou was not too panicked. On the one hand, she did not have any deep feelings for the emperor, nor did they have any conflicts of interest. In fact, from her current position, the death of the emperor would be good for her. If the emperor did not die, she would continue to target him endlessly. Although it might not really cause any harm to her, it would also be quite annoying.

On the other hand, she felt that the emperor was not someone who could be easily killed, and this could be seen from Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian's ability was recognized by everyone in the harem. Liu Zhirou did not feel it at the beginning, and only thought that Concubine Xian was a sickly and unwilling to cause trouble, but later she was able to figure it out.

Especially after arriving at the Cining Palace, Liu Zhirou was able to escape the structure of the harem and re-examine the situation in the palace as an outsider. Only then did she discover the cleverness and wisdom of Concubine Xian.

Although Duke Deng behind Concubine Shu is domineering, he has been living off his past glory. Apart from the young Guo Jieshu, no other outstanding figures have emerged in recent generations.

General Lin was the real rookie. He had prestige in the army and was quite unrestrained. On the surface, Concubine Xian was implicated by General Lin in the palace, but in fact, she cleverly protected herself and her father, and even kept the army firmly under the control of her father.

Although she would not take on palace affairs casually in the palace, she was very aware of any movement in the Weiyang Palace. After she felt that the emperor would not let her get pregnant, she was even able to persuade her father to send his confidant into the palace to help her give birth to the child.

But even such a capable concubine still had to keep her tail between her legs in front of the emperor. Once the emperor made any move or got into trouble, the concubine could only beg for his forgiveness in fear and trepidation.
