I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

The queen had already lost hope, but after hearing what was said, she was attracted by the conversation between the two of them.

In fact, the Queen also did not understand why A'man, a being with mysterious power, attached so much importance to a mere Ai Ziyi, and instead showed disdain for the two palace ladies who had higher status and knew more secrets.

If Aman showed a little bit of desire in her attitude, she might feel much more relaxed, because if Aman wanted something from her, it meant that she could also ask something of Oman, and she could save her poor daughter through Oman.

But when Aman acted as if he had no desire, at least not towards her, she was no longer sure about this.

After all, she was just a newbie in the world of mystery. Even though she had been sleeping in the same bed with the emperor for so many years, the emperor had always kept his secrets so well that she had no idea what her husband was doing behind her back.

In terms of the importance of the people in Qixiang Palace, she and Defei agreed that the only one who should be vigilant should be the pregnant Cuizhi, but compared to Cuizhi, there are two other concubines in the palace who have been pregnant for a longer time and are more likely to give birth to children. One of them is relatively easier to deal with, and that is the emperor's new favorite, Concubine Shen.

Concubine Shen was originally a maid brought in from outside by Concubine Chun. She had no good background and was not very good-looking. She was just lucky enough to be seen and favored by the Emperor.

Concubine Chun Liu Zhirou was also a scheming woman. She did not embarrass Concubine Shen because of this, but instead she respectfully presented it to the emperor. Concubine Shen was not as good as Concubine Chun in other aspects, but in terms of giving birth, she was just like her old master Concubine Chun, and had a good chance of having children. However, after being favored for a few times, she became pregnant.

However, the emperor's attitude towards her has always been particularly ambiguous. Although he values ​​her, he neither allows her to participate in social activities among the concubines in the harem, nor does he intend to pave the way for her promotion to a high-ranking concubine. He just keeps her alone in a small courtyard and assigns someone to guard and care for her.

It is said that the Emperor did not value Concubine Shen, but her status was rising rapidly. In just a few months, she was promoted from a slave to a beauty. She was only one step away from becoming the mistress of a palace and a truly prominent concubine.

Moreover, the emperor demands the best for her food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the people who stay by her side are basically his most trusted ones.

The Emperor was awake, and even the Queen found it difficult to reach out to Concubine Shen. The Queen didn't know the situation of Concubine Shen's pregnancy, so she felt that Concubine Shen was far more threatening than Cuizhi in Ai Ziyi's hand.

However, the extent of Shen Meiren's harm was far less than that of Concubine Xian. At least the emperor was no longer able to handle affairs in his original capacity, and his influence in the palace had been cut by more than half. In this case, the queen was very confident that she could quietly deal with Shen Meiren, who was not very noticeable.

But even the Queen found the situation of Concubine Xian very difficult.

The status and position of Concubine Xian, the power she once left in the palace, and the power she possessed outside the palace were all things that Concubine Shen and Cuizhi could never compare to.

If there was any possibility that they would fail, then they would most likely fail at the hands of Concubine Xian.

After all, Concubine Xian is the daughter of General Lin, and she has been pregnant the longest. She will be due to give birth soon. In this case, if the emperor can temporarily stabilize the situation and then seize the body of the child in Concubine Xian's belly, then the emperor will most likely be able to return to the throne in a short time.

Even if he returned to the throne, he would be nothing more than a hungry baby, unable to really take charge of the government or take revenge on his enemies.

But if the virtuous concubine is really determined to support her child to ascend to the throne, then the troubles they will encounter will be huge. Even the queen is not sure whether this group of people can overcome this fate and complete the feat of slaying the dragon.

But at this critical moment, A'man did not go to find Concubine Xian or Concubine Shen, but instead came to Ai Ziyi on his own. This was really an unwise decision.

But the queen also understood that she herself had been affected so much that many of her memories were blurred. Sometimes her judgments, although considered common sense in the palace, were not correct.

Maybe there is something else important about Ai Ziyi. Otherwise, why did the emperor not punish her but rewarded and favored her so much after she clearly violated the palace rules?

The emperor himself is a very rule-abiding person. Ai Ziyi can be considered a capable person as she was able to make him change his mind and openly support her behavior that violated the rules.

Ai Ziyi didn't know that she had won the Queen's praise and Concubine De's vigilance. She was still thinking about what A'man had said before.

A'man said that Liu Zhirou had avenged her and killed Wang Fuhai. She was skeptical about this, although Liu Zhirou did say in a letter to her that she would try to test Wang Fuhai's ability for her and avenge her.

However, Ai Ziyi did not support the other party's behavior and immediately wrote a letter to try to stop Liu Zhirou from taking the risk.

Although Ai Ziyi also understood that Liu Zhirou was not someone who would give up her plan easily, she found it hard to imagine what method Liu Zhirou used to kill the elusive Wang Fuhai.

More importantly, who is Aman to her, and why did he deliver this message to her?

Ai Ziyi was unwilling to believe that A'man came to help her purely out of kindness.
