I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

Liu Zhirou didn't believe that the emperor would fall to this series of calculations. If he was really such a useless person, he would not be able to manage the former court and the harem in order and take back the rights that should belong to him from the empress dowager in an orderly manner.

The emperor must have a backup plan. Although this backup plan may not help him turn the tables directly, it will definitely bring about major changes in the current situation.

However, the most important thing now is to find out where the team led by Guo Jieshu came from and what plans they have.

However, if she asked Wanpin just like that, it would most likely alert the enemy and make Wanpin realize that the person in front of her was not the mysterious person who had once supported her or had a close relationship with her, but a stranger who came to share the peaches.

Although according to Liu Zhirou's opinion, even if Wanpin realized this, she would not dare to break up with her, and might even become more sensible, but she felt that it was not a good idea to make such a meaningless scare now, so she decided to think of other ways.

Liu Zhirou's mind moved, and she immediately remembered an item she had once drawn from a gashapon machine, and she said, "No need to be asked."

She took out the Wu Wen Zi Shuo necklace, then gently held it in her palm and asked casually, "You seem to care about Guo Jie Shu a lot?"

Wanpin was about to give a positive response, but suddenly realized that she could not let her personal feelings and emotions affect the great cause.

For those who are truly in power, this is a taboo. So she quickly swallowed the words that were already on her throat and bowed down, "Everything is for the highest good, for the sake of being able to set things right. What does the feeling of a woman like me matter? I just ask you to think more about the people of the world."

"Master Guo should have led his troops to the Meridian Gate by now, and the general guarding the Meridian Gate happens to be one of ours. If all goes well, the road to the palace will be unimpeded. After Master Guo kills the treacherous ministers and binds the tyrant, Prince Duan can legitimately ascend to the throne. At that time, when order is restored, many people who have been wronged will also have the opportunity to have their rights redressed."

Wanpin had no idea what she was thinking about, and her pretty face turned pale with fright. She didn't even dare to call him by his affectionate nickname, and only addressed him politely as Mr. Guo.

Liu Zhirou did not stop him, nor did she agree much. She just looked at him with a half-smile on her face, and Wanpin could not stand it anymore.

"Sir, things have come to this point, please make a quick decision! If the tyrant is allowed to live, and even colluded with those evil people, then we will be nothing but helpless creatures, and it will be no pity for us to die, but your great cause will also be hindered!"

Wanpin's words were full of tears, which was really intimidating. But Liu Zhirou didn't have any great cause that she had to achieve, nor did she have anything that she had been planning for a long time. It had only been two years since she traveled here. If she really set up a big game, it was impossible.

So even though Concubine Wan said a lot of nonsense, her heart was naturally calm. All she could do now was to take one step at a time.

Liu Zhirou made a decision, that is to wait and see, and the one she waited for was undoubtedly Wanpin. Whether it was Wanpin's background or her abnormality, it proved that this woman was not someone who could be easily ignored, and the emperor——

Since the situation on the emperor's side has deteriorated to the current point, there is no need to worry about it getting worse. Liu Zhirou does not love the emperor, nor is she afraid of him. This is her biggest advantage in this game.

As for Ai Ziyi and the palace maid in Ai Ziyi's palace who had just become pregnant, Liu Zhirou decided to go there in person to take a look at their background and, by the way, meet the major forces that are active in the palace.
