I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

Liu Zhilan privately thought that although this Empress Defei looked very graceful and elegant, she actually had a bit of the mind of a girl. No, to be more precise, it should be said that she had the mind of a child.

Good is good, bad is bad, there is no way to integrate them. Liu Zhilan actually didn't understand why Concubine De risked her life to chase after the emperor when she knew that the emperor was dying.

This was really a bit ignorant. She wanted to persuade him, but she felt that she had no reason to do so.

Who is she to Concubine De?

Is she Defei’s friend?

Is he Defei’s comrade-in-arms?

Is she Defei's companion?

Neither. She is just an ordinary person. Maybe Defei has a trivial connection with her sister Liu Zhirou, but there is really no connection between her and Liu Zhilan.

So she could only close her mouth tightly and pray from the bottom of her heart that this time Defei would be able to turn danger into safety and not lose her life inexplicably.

What exactly is a rebellious army?

Although Liu Zhilan had never witnessed it with her own eyes, she had heard some of these terrible things from her mother and other wet nurses who fed her.

A rebellious army is an absolute disaster for the people, and even more so for women. Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to expect an army to have so-called military discipline and not disturb the people or abduct women.

Therefore, a rebellious army is the nightmare of all women. Concubine De was a person who was raised like a princess. It would be a pity if she died in the rebellion.

Although the military discipline of the army in the capital should be more or less maintained, the people from outside must be coming in to force the emperor to abdicate. In this case, how can we expect them to take care of the women in the palace?

For people outside, the most important thing now is to quickly enter the palace and obtain the throne. As for how these women in the harem will be treated, will it really cause a ripple in the heart of the superior?

Liu Zhilan was pessimistic about this idea, as if she was originally a little girl who was being well cared for by her parents, but was forced into such a chaotic situation just because of the emperor's temporary plan.

Does the emperor really love her?

Even when Liu Zhilan was at her most innocent and lovely, she didn't believe that the emperor would fall in love with a small merchant girl like her for no apparent reason.

The reason why the emperor rescued her from the human traffickers was probably largely because her two sisters were favored by some mysterious existence.

Although Liu Zhilan didn't know what the mysterious existence that Aman and the others were talking about was, she understood that this was not a good thing.

If it was really so good, her fourth sister Liu Zhijin, who was favored by the mysterious existence, would not have been sent by her father to be a concubine of the child of Duke Deng, and would not have been thrown into prison and suffered so much.

If it weren't for the third sister Liu Zhirou who insisted that Liu Ming save Liu Zhijin, perhaps Liu Ming would have treated this child as if he didn't exist at all.

Even though Liu Liu Zhilan loved her parents very much, she had to admit that her father was indeed a rather cold-blooded person, otherwise he would not have been able to rise to where he is today from being a mere country squire.

But even after being rescued, the originally proud and beautiful Liu Zhijin still suffered a lot of blows.

Liu Zhilan heard from a maid who had visited Liu Zhijin that Liu Zhijin had lost the beauty that she was once most proud of, and it was almost impossible to tell what she looked like the young lady she once was.
