I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

Liu Ming has never been so eager for power as he is today. As long as he has power, he will have the capital to protect himself in troubled times and even make achievements, instead of hiding in his house like a quail like now, praying that the rebel army will not notice this place.

Although he seemed aggressive and confident as he reprimanded his panic-stricken son, he actually knew very well that in this chaotic and turbulent era, personal struggle and effort often seemed insignificant. After all, if the Liu family was really a real aristocratic family, then with their family power and influence, he would be fully capable of reaching out to the military at this moment to obtain real security guarantees. Unfortunately, the reality was not like this. Facing the current situation, he could only feel helpless and powerless.

He could only pray that the emperor would quell the turmoil as soon as possible, and that his daughter would be able to stay safe and even give birth to a boy.

Because only in this way can the Liu family have the possibility of further progress.

Liu Ming did not dare to slack off. He checked the house carefully inside and out. After confirming that every detail was correct, he breathed a sigh of relief and dragged his exhausted body back to the room to take a nap. However, before he could even sit down and drink a cup of hot tea, he heard a sudden noise outside the house. The sound came from far away and got louder and louder, making his head ache.

"What's going on?" Liu Ming shouted. His premonition was getting worse and worse, so he rushed out immediately. However, the servant who came in to report the news was full of joy: "Hurry up and prepare to receive the emperor. The queen is here!"

How could he not be happy? Those arrogant and conceited aristocratic families could look down on the Liu family, a nouveau riche family of merchants, but how dare they look down on the empress who was pregnant with a dragon? Now that the empress had come here in person, reinforcements would surely arrive soon, and everyone would be safe!

The people below cheered, but Liu Ming didn't dare to think that well. His heart was full of doubts. Why would the Queen come back at this critical moment?

The capital is now in a state of flux and unrest, and the situation is becoming increasingly confusing. Under such circumstances, Concubine Chun can only stay by the side of the Queen Mother to ensure her own safety. After all, the Queen Mother is of high status and highly respected, and the security around her is strict, so safety is self-evident.

If the emperor really encountered an unexpected disaster in the palace, then Concubine Chun might be able to preserve a bloodline for the emperor, so as to avoid the dilemma of no successor for the royal family. In this way, it can be said that she has made a certain degree of contribution and explanation to the country and the society.

Why did you choose to come back?

Soon Liu Zhirou sent someone to explain that it was because she missed the emperor so much that the empress dowager ordered her to return to the palace to visit the emperor. However, she did not expect that when she arrived in the capital, she would be hindered by the rebels.

After hearing this, Liu Ming quickly ordered people to open the door and lead Liu Zhirou and her group in.

Originally, Liu Zhirou had no plans to go home. However, when she recalled that she and Liu Zhijin had traveled through time together and were born in this insignificant Liu family, she could not help but sigh at the wonderful arrangement of fate. This coincidence seemed to be intentional by God, unbelievable but real. As a result, she became more curious about this family and wanted to find out if there were any secrets or special things hidden in it. After all, such a rare opportunity is by no means accidental, and perhaps there are more unknowns hidden behind it...

So, Liu Zhirou changed her mind and decided to go back home to find out what was going on. Anyway, the excuse was obvious. They didn't know that the capital was in such a mess at first, but now that they were in, it would be difficult to get out of this vortex. Instead of going to those families that they didn't know if they could trust, it would be better to go back to their mother's home to take shelter.

She brought enough people with her, which strengthened the Liu family's defense, thus ensuring everyone's safety.

More importantly, the Liu family is not just an ordinary place, it is very likely to become a crucial turning point in the plot!

After all, no one could predict what kind of unknown secrets and mysteries were hidden in this seemingly peaceful house. That was why Liu Zhirou couldn't wait to rush here, trying to stop here for a while and find a suitable time to think about how to return to the palace.
