I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

Moreover, in this matter, the attitudes of the Queen and Concubine Chen were also very strange. Concubine Chen was the most active in wanting to find Aman, while the Queen seemed a little ambiguous and made perfunctory excuses.

"Looking at the expression on this sister's face, she probably doesn't know the identity of this A'man yet." Suddenly a low voice came from beside her. Liu Zhirou turned her head slightly and found that it was a woman sitting next to her. She was probably also a concubine, but she didn't know which one.

"Please help me solve this problem, sister." Liu Zhirou replied in a low voice.

"This A'man is not an ordinary person, but the daughter of our emperor's wet nurse." Liu Zhirou felt more at ease after hearing this. It turned out that the queen deliberately protected her because she was afraid of embarrassing the emperor.

As the emperor's concubines, very few of them breastfed their children themselves.

Because breastfeeding a child means a lot of trouble, and it is very likely to cause the body shape to change, thus affecting one's status in the eyes of the emperor.

Therefore, after they gave birth to a prince or princess, although they raised the child under their own laps, they usually handed the child over to a wet nurse, who would feed and raise him.

It is also because of this that the relationship between the wet nurse and these princes and princesses is very close.

This explains why the matter is so serious. Concubine Chen is close to the Queen Mother and the Emperor's favorite concubine. Naturally, she is hostile to other women who have special status around the Emperor. Regardless of whether A'man neglected the Second Princess or not, she would find a way to find a way to get rid of the other party.

But soon, the woman's next words overturned all her previous assumptions.

"Originally, A'man's status was pretty good. After His Majesty ascended the throne, he could have issued an edict to grant her grace and let her marry into a good family. But the fault lies with her mother. Although her mother is His Majesty's wet nurse, she happens to be from the lineage of the deposed crown prince."

"I don't know what kind of grace the deposed crown prince had given to her family to make A'man's mother serve him wholeheartedly. The deposed crown prince is already dead, but her mother still wants to avenge him and even tried to murder the emperor. If the emperor hadn't reacted quickly and the guards outside were not loyal to save him, I'm afraid she would have lost her life in the hands of that woman."

Liu Zhirou suddenly began to wonder. If that was the case, A'man and her family had committed such a heinous crime, no matter how tolerant and merciful the emperor was, he should not allow her to continue serving in the palace, or even give her such amazing preferential treatment.

What's more, based on what she had observed over the past few days, their emperor was not an easy person to get along with. Not to mention repaying evil with kindness, even not saying he would take revenge for the slightest grievance was considered a good evaluation.

"Sister Wanpin, Sister Chunpin, what are you two talking about?" At some point, the Queen noticed their whispering and asked kindly.

Liu Zhirou replied calmly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. After all, I have just entered the palace and I don't know many things. I was confused when I heard it. Sister Wanpin saw that I was very confused, so she spoke up to clear up my confusion. I am really sorry to disturb Your Majesty."

"It's okay, it's okay. I didn't think about it. Sister Wanpin has always been careful." The Queen nodded, as if she had let it go. "After this matter is dealt with, I should introduce the sisters in the palace to you and Lady Lan. You two have always been obedient in Sister Xianfei's palace and don't like to go out. It's normal that you don't know each other well."

Liu Zhirou felt that there was something behind the Queen's words, as if she was secretly mocking Lady Yu for speaking without permission before, but she just responded with a light "yes".

If Lady Yu was a smart person, she would not be angry with her for such a small matter. If Lady Yu was a stupid person, it would be useless even if she was angry with her, because Liu Zhirou had 100 ways to get rid of her.

Liu Zhirou would normally try to show weakness as much as possible, but that didn't mean she would be a coward.

What's more, there are many ways to show weakness. Simply admitting mistakes and showing cowardice is one way to show weakness, but being impulsive, reckless, and unwise is also a way to show weakness.

Since she had the upper hand in terms of position, Liu Zhirou was not really afraid of her.

"Talented Lady Han, if you can't produce any crucial evidence, I will have no choice but to charge you with falsely accusing Concubine Chen." The Queen warned directly.

The queen was obviously a little impatient. If Concubine Chen was not in any trouble after this incident, she would undoubtedly have lost face.

Although it was Han Cairen who first provoked the war, it was the queen herself who listened to Han Cairen's advice and brought everyone together. If this really became a farce, it would be a big blow to the queen's prestige.

The one who is most looking forward to Han Cairen producing the key evidence is the Queen. As long as Han Cairen produces the key evidence, regardless of whether she can overthrow Concubine Chen or not, this matter will come to a relatively satisfactory end.

However, Han Cairen's subsequent performance disappointed her. Han Cairen knelt down at the position where he was about to take action, trembling and unable to speak for a long time.

"Okay, this false accusation is so obvious, Your Majesty can just announce the result directly. After such a long delay, the Second Princess must miss me." Concubine Chen spoke.

The queen's expression suddenly turned ugly.

The eldest princess grew up to be seven years old, and she still ate and slept all day. She rarely expressed complex emotions such as missing someone, and even the most basic emotions such as joy and anger. The emperor was completely disappointed with the eldest princess. Even when he came to the queen's palace according to the usual practice, he would not ask to see the eldest princess. This was the biggest pain in her heart.

But just when everyone thought the dust was about to settle, Han Cairen, who was kneeling below, suddenly stopped shaking. She raised her head and looked directly at the queen's face: "Queen, I have something to say. It stands to reason that such things should not be said in front of you sisters, polluting everyone's ears, but in order to prove that what I said before was true, I have to say it."

"Just say it directly." The queen replied unhappily.

Liu Zhirou immediately felt that something was wrong with Han Cairen. The previous Han Cairen would be nervous and panic-stricken, and would become panic-stricken when things did not develop as she imagined. But now Han Cairen was extremely calm, like a machine rather than a living, flesh-and-blood person.

Something out of the ordinary had happened. If it weren't for the second skill that had been enhanced, Liu Zhirou probably wouldn't have noticed it so keenly, but there are no ifs in the world.

Liu Zhirou suddenly became nervous. Is this world finally going to pull open the first veil to her?
