I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

After the news of Ai Ziyi's pregnancy spread throughout the harem, everyone seemed very excited, especially the queen. She didn't care about her own dignity at all and came to visit with many rewards in a grand manner. Her words were all positive about Ai Ziyi, and it seemed that she wanted to advise the emperor to promote her to a concubine.

There was no movement from Concubine Chen's side. She was confined to her room to take care of her pregnancy, and her lackeys seemed to have quieted down as well.

From this perspective, Concubine Chen really seems to be a white lotus that is untainted by the mud. The reason why they were so sharp in the past was because the Queen was going too far.

Of course Liu Zhirou didn't believe this. She decided to wait until night and find a way to control the ghost to go and see Chen Fei.

I don’t know if I can find a ghost that can be controlled near where Chen Fei lives, but I think it should be possible.

After all, no matter how you look at it, Chen Fei is not a kind-hearted person.

But soon, an unexpected situation interrupted her plan.

The emperor is here.

Liu Zhirou cursed the man in her heart for coming at an inopportune time, but she still had a gentle and decent smile on her face. She led people to welcome the emperor in and ordered Chuntao to serve tea.

"Why doesn't Your Majesty go and accompany Sister Lan?" Liu Zhirou handed the teacup to the emperor personally and asked with a smile.

"I just came out from Concubine Lan and thought of you. I decided to come and see if you are living well in Changchun Palace?" The emperor asked, taking a sip of tea.

"I am living a good life. All the majesties are very kind people and take good care of me." Liu Zhirou couldn't guess what the other party was thinking, and didn't want to speak without being asked, so she answered in a proper manner.

Wu Wen said that this prop had never been used before, and she didn't know what its specific effects were. It would be inappropriate to use it directly on the emperor for the first time.

It would be bad if the emperor really said something extremely confidential or shameful in front of her, and if he became angry and wanted to silence her after realizing what was going on, that would be bad.

Liu Zhirou planned to try out the effect on others first, so she could only rely on her own ingenuity to deal with the current emperor.

"Why should we be so polite? If you feel anything is wrong, just tell them." The emperor hesitated for a moment, but still said: "You are good friends with Lady Lan, and you have lived in Weiyang Palace for quite a while. Do you feel anything is wrong?"

"No, Weiyang Palace is very nice and beautiful, and Concubine Xian is also a very kind person. Why does the emperor ask this?" Liu Zhirou asked.

"Actually, it's nothing. I always feel that Concubine Xian seems to have changed a little. You have been in the palace for a short time and have not known Concubine Xian for a long time, so you probably don't have such feelings." The emperor half sighed and half tested, "If it were normal times, I wouldn't tell you this, but Ziyi is pregnant now after all, and I always feel a little uneasy."

Liu Zhirou showed a thoughtful expression, and after a while she said hesitantly: "If you say it's a rare thing, it's not that I haven't encountered it before. When I first entered the palace, the Concubine Xian assigned me two palace maids and a eunuch. I'm not afraid of the emperor laughing at me, but I've always been a nostalgic person. Without the three of them, I always felt a little uncomfortable. So the next day after getting up early to pay my respects, I shamelessly wanted to ask the Concubine Xian for them."

"But after arriving at Weiyang Palace, we only found the two palace maids. Later, we heard that the eunuch was beaten to death by the order of Concubine Xian, and the crime was that he colluded with Concubine Shu... But it was so long ago."

Some help is useless if not used. Since the emperor also felt that something was wrong with Concubine Xian, Liu Zhirou could certainly use this method to attract the emperor's attention. Using the emperor's hand to investigate this matter is much better than her groping around on her own.

"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" The emperor suddenly became serious.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty only found out about this last night. The Virtuous Concubine is well-known and is quite fair in her dealings. I have no doubt about this. If the Emperor hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have thought of it now." Liu Zhirou cursed inwardly at this guy for being so moody and quickly adjusted her expression to a cowardly state.

The emperor also realized that he had overreacted, and he quickly said a few more words to comfort her. He pondered for a while, and then continued to ask: "Have you told Lady Lan about this matter?"

"Not yet. Sister Ziyi just got pregnant and is at her most vulnerable time. I'm afraid it will cause some shock to her. Because of the Empress Xianfei's father, she has always respected the Empress Xianfei." Liu Zhirou answered immediately.

"What you thought makes sense. The most important thing now is the child. It would be bad if I dwell on these things at this time. Don't mention this matter to him. I will make arrangements to transfer her out of the virtuous concubine's palace." Having said this, the emperor no longer had the intention to continue his romantic affair with Liu Zhirou. He made a few excuses and left in a hurry.

Liu Zhirou was also happy to have some free time.

"Your Majesty, I think the relationship between Concubine Chun and Concubine Lan seems real. Why don't you move Concubine Lan to Concubine Chun's palace? She will definitely take good care of her." Seeing that the emperor seemed to be worried about this matter, Lu Jin quickly made such a suggestion.

He had his own plans for making this suggestion. If Concubine Lan really went to Concubine Chun, the Emperor would definitely visit her many times. This way, Qiu Ju, who stayed by Concubine Chun's side, would have a greater chance to come to the fore. He could also use this incident as a way of repaying a favor, which was simply killing three birds with one stone.

"Concubine Chun is indeed a kind person, but she is too timid and cowardly, and she doesn't think things through. She can't even protect herself, so how can she protect Concubine Lan?" The emperor did not agree with his opinion, but remained frowning.

"The queen is a resourceful and relatively virtuous person, but after all, the queen is entangled in the affairs of the eldest princess, and she probably won't have the energy to care about Lady Lan."

The emperor counted them one by one, but couldn't pick out anyone he really liked. Finally, he waved his sleeves and went to Concubine De.
