I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

Chapter 44: Discovery of Murder

Liu Zhirou found that there was nothing interesting to watch from Concubine Xian's side, so she simply chased the palace maid out.

The maid took a few steps and suddenly shivered from the cold. She looked around for a while but found nothing, so she had to attribute the sudden coldness to the external environment, so she quickened her pace and walked to the other side to summon two strong eunuchs.

After finding the people, she seemed a little worried again, and called two maids who looked very bloated - normally, the palace did not keep such women, but they were basically the dowry brought by the concubines in various palaces, or the wet nurses prepared for the princes and princesses when they were pregnant.

After the pregnancy was ruined, she immediately drove away the people she had hired. It seemed very heartless no matter how you looked at it. However, after so many years of getting along with the dowry from home, they became like family members to her, if not relatives.

The emperor was quite sympathetic to the difficulties faced by the concubines in the harem, and thought that since they had no way to go home and reunite with their families, they could not even satisfy this little wish. So he issued a special decree to allow this, which led to the current special situation.

After the palace maid led the people out of the main hall, she did not even bother to find the direction and headed straight for the Qingliang Hall as if she was familiar with the route.

Liu Zhirou already had a very bad premonition.

She controlled the ghost to float up, quickly passed through the group of people on the road, and ran straight to the Qingliang Palace.

As she expected, Jixiang and Ruyi were still burning paper, had not left yet, and were crying.

Liu Zhirou waved her hand, mobilized her mental power, and forcibly interfered with reality in her ghostly body. The paper ashes in the brazier instantly flew everywhere. Jixiang and Ruyi were frightened and subconsciously moved away from the brazier.

"Eunuch Xiaobao, Eunuch Xiaobao, don't blame us. If you want to blame someone, blame Concubine Xian. Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor..." Jixiang was frightened to death.

Although she is the elder sister, she is usually weak in character and easily loses her mind when faced with such an emergency.

Ruyi, who is younger, is quite decisive.

"Let's go, we can't stay here anymore!" Ruyi pulled Jixiang's sleeve and was about to pull her out.

"But, but my aunt told us that only if we burn paper money for Grandpa Xiaobao and make him satisfied, can we survive..." Jixiang was still a little hesitant.

"Let's burn it tomorrow. One more day won't make a difference. If we stay any longer, what if eunuch Xiaobao comes to take our lives..." Ruyi said a few words and frightened Jixiang so much that he dared not say anything else. The two of them trotted away.

Liu Zhirou felt relieved when she saw the current situation.

Although she couldn't hear the conversation between the two of them, she could still infer some content from their expressions, and their subsequent actions clearly verified that what she inferred based on their expressions was correct.

They left, which was a good thing. As long as they were not unlucky enough to run into people who were ready to kill them on the way, they would have a good chance of escaping this time.

Even if she was a virtuous concubine who was the head of a palace, she would need a reason to punish the maids under her command. Otherwise, if she beat the maids to death for no reason many times, it would be difficult for her to explain even if she was a concubine.

What's more, Concubine Xian's family is not a powerful family, and her father is often feared by the emperor. The reason why he can get his current position is largely because he has endured for a long time.

Under such circumstances, the policy that Concubine Xian would pursue must be to avoid trouble rather than more, so if the two girls did not encounter anything particularly serious, they would definitely not be silenced.

As for what happens in the future, it all depends on their luck. However, Liu Zhirou also has an idea that she might be able to use these two palace maids as a breakthrough point to find out if Concubine Xian has done anything wrong.

This is not only for herself, but also for Ai Ziyi who still stays here.

She was finally out of misery. No matter how capable Concubine Xian was, she couldn't just stuff people into her Changchun Palace.

But Ai Ziyi is still sinking here. Even if the hope is slim, if Ai Ziyi is pregnant - the kind of pregnancy that is really pregnant, but leads to miscarriage due to the murder of these villains, it must be a particularly huge blow to Ai Ziyi.

Liu Zhirou didn't want this kind of blow to happen to her only friend. So it was very important to find out what Concubine Xian was thinking.
