I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

Liu Zhirou did not react to Biyun's forced attempt to save face. She yawned lazily, then waved her hand to signal Biyun to go down.

It was obvious that Biyun enjoyed her identity as Prime Minister Shen's youngest daughter more than being a maid of a concubine who was born a merchant girl.

After all, even a ruined noble is still a noble, and seems to be born a level higher than others. Now she has her deceased father's loyal servants working hard for her to become the emperor's concubine. That can't be a more comfortable thing.

However, Liu Zhirou was skeptical. Was it really such a coincidence? If Biyun was really Prime Minister Shen's youngest daughter, why did no one come to look for her during the time she had been in the Liu family?

Considering the nature of this group of people who, facing the danger of being executed along with their entire clan by the emperor, still refused to give up on overturning the verdict for their master's family, shouldn't they have already protected the young lady of their master's family?

Even if we take a step back, shouldn't the girls raised by these guys who used to be upper-class people be more likely to win the emperor's favor than a merchant's slave?

Liu Zhirou was very suspicious that this identity might be just a cover.

Biyun was quite smart when she was in Liu Mansion, otherwise she would not have been able to get the position of the head maid next to Liu Zhirou. After all, Liu Ming spent a lot of effort to send his daughter to the home of a noble and win the heart of her husband. For the most beautiful daughter, he spent even more effort, and prepared 4 head maids, divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter.

She knew how to advance and retreat at that time. Generally speaking, she would not be blinded by these petty gains and put herself in danger.

But after all, they had not been in contact for too long, and Liu Zhirou was not completely sure.

What's more, people will change. Instead of being an unknown and voiceless slave, and finally living with a eunuch, or being exiled and married to an official as a concubine, it is better to take advantage of the convenient conditions you have now and try to become a concubine of the emperor. Maybe one day you can be on equal footing with the young lady you used to serve.

She didn't need to personally take care of small matters like arranging accommodation and assigning palace maids. She could just leave it to Tanxiang.

Tan Xiang used to be someone close to the Empress Dowager, so he had some understanding of these things. He knew how to help a low-ranking concubine without making a fuss, and how to suppress her without making a fuss. Tan Xiang knew all these things very well.

Whether Biyun can get her help depends on her luck.

Liu Zhirou is really tired now.

Logically speaking, although she had been controlling ghosts to move in the air before, she had never really exceeded her limit and would not have had so many adverse reactions. But since the emperor came yesterday, she had been listless, as if the evil ghost had sucked all her yang energy away.

Liu Zhirou shook her head in amusement and threw this ridiculous idea out of her mind.

She picked up the blanket and prepared to take another nap. Anyway, the troubled princess was sick again today, and the queen was in no mood to care about the greetings from the concubines.

At the same time, in Weiyang Palace.

The virtuous concubine was sitting upright on the couch. Even though she was sitting on her own territory, she did not show the slightest sign of relaxing. Her spine was as straight as an arrow stuck in the ground.

Sitting next to her was a diligent female doctor. Although she was not a formal imperial physician, but a maid kept by a high-ranking concubine who had some knowledge of medicine, she knew a lot about gynecology, especially in preparing for pregnancy, and was quite capable.

But even if we find a very capable doctor, he cannot solve the current problem facing Concubine Xian.

"You still can't find out?" asked Concubine Xian in annoyance, her hand unconsciously caressing her belly.

"Your Majesty, if that was successful, you would have been pregnant for less than a month...it would be impossible to find out." The maid looked very frightened.

Knowing that she would lose her head if revealing this matter, it can be seen that Concubine Xian trusted this maid very much. However, sometimes this trust is not just help, it can also turn into a deadly poison.

It is obvious that this maid does not want to share life and death with the virtuous concubine, and of course does not want to know these deadly things.

If this matter was leaked, Concubine Xian would not be able to survive, and she would not be able to survive either. Even if he reported Concubine Xian, the emperor would never allow a person who knew that he was cuckolded to live well. This would be a great shame for the emperor.

"Lady Lan has been pregnant for about three or four months, and it's time for her to show her pregnancy." Concubine Xian did not continue to worry about her own body, and suddenly mentioned another person.

"Yes." Jian Ying stepped forward and nodded, confirming that what Concubine Xian said was correct.

Normally, Miao'er always spends more time with Concubine Xian, but now that Concubine Xian has sent Miao'er to protect Ai Ziyi, Jian Ying appears by her side more frequently.

Jian Ying looked a little haggard, and guarded beside Concubine Xian with an expressionless face.

"She is a blessed person, unlike Concubine Chun who is unlucky." Concubine Xian sighed nonchalantly.

"No matter how blessed anyone is, they can't surpass Her Majesty. Her Majesty is the truly blessed one." Jian Ying keenly noticed that Concubine Xian's mood seemed to have fluctuated to a certain extent, but she couldn't find the real root of the problem, so she had to go along with Concubine Xian's words in the hope of comforting her.

"Your little mouth is as sweet as honey. If I am considered blessed, then there is no one in this world who is not blessed." Concubine Xian suddenly became negative.

"Sometimes I wonder, if I wasn't so tenacious and had died in the womb, would I not have to come to this world to experience this kind of suffering and be forced by a group of people to make a choice that I didn't want to make?"

"My queen, since we have already sacrificed so much to get to this point, there is really no chance to turn back." Jian Ying advised earnestly, "If we give up, won't those who died die in vain?"

"I know." Concubine Xian also became a little uninterested.

"Let's go and visit Lan Mei, the lucky and unlucky woman. I hope she will be luckier than me in the end."
