I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

The emperor didn't say anything from beginning to end, but just looked at her with a little reluctance at the end.

"Your Majesty, Chun Meiren had a miscarriage." Lu Jin walked over quietly and said in a low voice.

Even though Lu Jin was the senior eunuch who had grown up with the emperor and knew him well, he did not dare to say anything casually.

At the beginning, the emperor did not care much about offspring. He believed that as long as he was in good health and had enough concubines, he would have children sooner or later.

But it turned out that he was thinking too sweetly. For some reason, he seemed to be cursed with regard to offspring.

At the beginning, pregnant concubines always had miscarriages for various reasons. The first and second times he thought it was an accident, the third and fourth times he thought someone was interfering, but it happened so many times that he couldn't help but become worried.

Later on, there were almost no concubines who were pregnant, let alone having children.

The reason why Concubine Chen was able to be promoted to a concubine despite being a palace maid was largely because she gave birth to the only healthy second princess.

Yes, the eldest princess born to the queen, who is also the only legitimate princess at present, is a disabled child. She is already six years old, but she doesn’t even recognize her parents and cannot even walk.

If the Queen had not threatened to commit suicide, the Emperor might not have been able to let the child survive.

The emperor sighed, sat down dejectedly, and waved his hand. Lu Jin asked the eunuchs to take away all the guys who had made mistakes, leaving the emperor and empress some space to be alone.

"Queen, I hope you had not interfered in today's incident. Since Concubine Chun has been implicated innocently, she should be promoted to Concubine Chun." The emperor sighed.

"I have always been very well-behaved. Isn't Chun Meiren's promotion too fast?" The Queen still had a virtuous look on her face as she advised the Emperor.

"No need to say more. I won't pursue what you did in this, and you shouldn't make things difficult for me. You should understand that only by being a good queen can you stay in this position longer." The emperor's tone was cold, and he showed no respect for the queen in front of outsiders.

"I understand." Even though the emperor's words were so hurtful, the queen still did not show any dissatisfaction or resentment. She lowered her head respectfully, like a ruthless machine.

The emperor then sighed.

"Shu Fei... I feel sorry for her. Please give her some respect in the future."

This sentence is really terrifying when you think about it carefully.

Did the emperor already know what would happen today?

But the queen did not ask or express any doubts, she just nodded silently.

The emperor also instructed people to comfort Liu Zhirou well, and let her move to Changchun Palace after she recovered, and then he would return to the palace.

Almost no one noticed that Liu Zhirou secretly revealed a thoughtful expression in the side hall.

About half an hour later, Liu Zhirou finally woke up officially. As usual, she was emotionally unstable for a while, and then she took the others back to her Huailiu Pavilion.

When they left, it was very grand, but when they came back, it was very empty, which was a bit sad.

Ai Ziyi kept talking, trying to distract Liu Zhirou and make her not too sad. Liu Zhirou was not sad, but she also accepted Ai Ziyi's kindness and talked to her in a casual manner.

The next day, Concubine Xian also came to visit.

"Sister Chunpin, don't be too sad. The fact that you are pregnant with a dragon fetus proves that you are blessed. It's just that this child is not destined to be yours, so he returned to heaven earlier."

"You are still young and healthy. You will have children in the future, unlike a useless person like me."

"My lady, I know, you have to take good care of yourself too."

It was another meaningless nonsense. Concubine Xian tried hard to express her appreciation and concern for these new concubines, but there was always an inexplicable taste of jealousy in her tone.

Liu Zhirou knew the other party's thoughts very well, and knew that they could never become true allies, but she still patiently dealt with the other party. Liu Zhirou finally sent away Concubine Xian and most of the concubines who came to visit, and finally she could breathe a sigh of relief.

She recently discovered another wonderful use for the energy bar.

Because of this miscarriage scene, her energy bar was full again. I guess she was regarded as an enemy by many people again.

But considering that drawing another skill of unknown level would not be of much help to her, she wondered if she could slightly improve the two existing skills.

It turns out that it is possible.

After the energy bar was upgraded, Liu Zhirou's second skill was much more powerful and it was no longer just a decoration.

Before this, she had actually used this skill actively, such as emotional manipulation, and it was precisely because of this that she was able to fool people so smoothly.

Liu Zhirou couldn't control it very precisely, but if she just guided it in a general direction, she could still do it.

She had previously guided the thoughts of the imperial doctors and maids towards panic and anxiety, making them fear that the emperor would chop off their heads due to untimely medical treatment, thus causing them to ignore some things and completely confirm the pregnancy.

Now in my spare time, I look back at the skills I used before. Although they are a bit crude, they are quite spiritual.

After this upgrade, the scope of her emotional control has been further expanded, and she can now try ghostification and even summoning ghosts.

But to be on the safe side, it would be better to wait until we move into the new palace before trying again.

Although the emperor was eager to have a child, he did not have many concubines. Most of the vast palaces left over from the previous dynasty were empty.

For example, the Changchun Palace where she is going to move this time.

Before she moved there, the palace had been in a state of disrepair and would take at least several months of repairs before it could be habitable.

But fortunately, there is no need to rush now.

Liu Zhirou spent another month quietly. During this period, the emperor came to visit her several times and sent people to reward her with many good things. Although the empress did not come to visit her in person, she also sent people to reward her. She dealt with it all.

Ai Ziyi comes very often and I meet her almost every day.

Liu Zhirou was surprised to find that Ai Ziyi seemed to have reconciled with the emperor, and now she often showed the emperor's understanding and praise in her conversations.

In Ai Ziyi's words, it is not easy for the emperor to balance the former dynasty and the harem. The current peaceful world is due to the emperor's contribution, and it is normal for him to make occasional mistakes.

Liu Zhirou did not show any attitude towards her words and still looked gentle and well-behaved.

She knew that no matter what, she could not show mercy to a man, especially a man of higher status than herself.

Many times, love begins with this feeling of pity. Once there is pity, Ai Ziyi will unconsciously make excuses for him, thus hurting herself.

But she had no way to persuade him. As a concubine, it seemed natural for Ai Ziyi to love the emperor.
