I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

What is Wanpin, the one Guo Jieshu has been thinking about, doing now?

At that time, she was with Liu Zhirou, heading towards Qixiang Palace where Ai Ziyi lived, where the incident took place.

"Why are we going there, sir?" Wanpin respectfully held the doll in her arms. Although she was very scared, she still asked this question.

She was also a very intelligent woman. Even if she didn't notice anything wrong at the beginning, after talking for such a long time, this gentleman didn't mention anything about helping Guo Jieshu to force the emperor to abdicate. She could also understand that she had misjudged the situation and this person had never come to help Guo Jieshu.

But Concubine Wan did not resist. There was almost no one in the palace who knew these mysterious beings better than her. If she followed their instructions, she might be able to keep her life. If she really went against them, she would most likely die on the spot.

In this situation, although Wanpin also loved Guo Jieshu, her love for Guo Jieshu did not exceed her attachment to life, so she said nothing and just obediently acted according to the other party's requirements.

The place agreed upon by Guo Jieshu was not this place, and Wanpin was also worried that she would be turned into a sacrifice if brought here, so she tried to ask questions indirectly, hoping to get some relevant information from Liu Zhirou so as not to become a sacrifice without knowing it.

But Liu Zhirou did not respond directly to her plan, but just told her lightly: "Wanpin, let's go see your uncle, um, or your grandfather."

Wanpin was startled and almost dropped the puppet in her hand. "You, what do you mean?"

Wanpin was so frightened that she started to stutter. She even suspected that the person behind the puppet was one of the people who supported the emperor and brought her there just to use her body to take over the emperor's body.

Otherwise, why would he choose to bring her to see the emperor? Did the emperor already know that she and Guo Jieshu were working together to overthrow the dynasty? What would the emperor do to her? Would he take her body? Would he kill her outright?

As Wanpin thought about it, she became more and more panicked and almost cried out loud. Liu Zhirou saw through her heart and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, the emperor is in a difficult situation now. He won't spare any effort to embarrass you. I won't allow this to happen either."

Wanpin seemed to be comforted but also seemed not to be, but she quickly stopped her inappropriate expression and replied respectfully: "Well, I will listen to you."

After so many years in the palace, Wanpin didn't learn anything else, but she mastered the skill of judging the situation to perfection.

"Do you know why the emperor asked you to stay in the palace and even took you as a concubine?" Liu Zhirou asked in order to ease the awkward atmosphere between them and to speculate on what happened from another perspective.

Wanpin replied timidly, "Well, it seems that a Taoist priest told my uncle that he needed a woman from the lineage of the former crown prince to take away the dragon energy from the former crown prince to avoid any more troubles in the future. So I was sent to the palace with a changed name. After all, my uncle marrying his niece is something that those old scholars would never allow."

Is that all? Liu Zhirou suspected that there was something more to this, but she did not continue to ask.

Wanpin seems to be very important in the palace, but also seems not that important. If Liu Zhirou had not seen this person in Wang Fuhai's memory, she would never have noticed her.

But the facts have proved that Concubine Wan is not without any secrets. Just in terms of her understanding of the mysterious force, among all the concubines in the palace, including Liu Zhirou, there are probably few who can compare with Concubine Wan.

If the emperor brought her into the palace just to seize the dragon energy of the late prince, this does not seem likely. If he wanted to seize the dragon energy, it would be enough to let Concubine Wan know nothing and just be a little fool in the palace. There would be no need to tell her so many secrets.

Or maybe these secrets were not told to him by someone on the emperor's side, and even the emperor didn't know that Concubine Wan knew these.

Wanpin knew all this from the people left behind by the former crown prince. They were afraid that the daughter of the former master would die for no apparent reason, so they secretly revealed this information to Wanpin so that she could know what could be done and what could not be done, what could be dealt with and what could not be dealt with, and it was not impossible.

Then the connection between Concubine Wan and Guo Jieshu is a very intriguing matter.

Although Wanpin's background was not known to everyone in the palace, the emperor at least knew it.

It is impossible that the Emperor had no defenses against Concubine Wan. It was difficult for Concubine Wan to contact Guo Jieshu, who was far away from the palace, in a normal way. However, she did come into contact with Guo Jieshu and even developed a relationship with him that went beyond friendship.

In this situation, the only people who can contribute to the development of their relationship are those left behind by the former prince.

But why did those people left behind by the former crown prince help Guo Jieshu to force abdication? No matter what, Guo Jieshu was an outsider after all. Was this really a good thing for them?

Or was this something they had not anticipated?
