I swept the harem by pretending to be weak
Chapter 59: Uncovering the Secret
After Ai Ziyi announced her pregnancy, Weiyang Palace was in trouble. There were many people there, and there were all kinds of palace maids responsible for taking care of her.
Liu Zhirou hated trouble, so she didn't go to visit immediately. Thinking that there was nothing for her to do alone in the palace, she took Tan Xiang directly to find the queen, ready to report to her about the lack of low-ranking concubines in Changchun Palace.
The Queen Mother did not refuse much and directly transferred two concubines of low rank to her palace.
Up to now, everything had been going quite smoothly. When Liu Zhirou returned to Changchun Palace after chatting with the Queen, two low-ranking concubines were already waiting there.
"Greetings, Concubine Chun." Both of them were not very old, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and their looks could only be described as having regular features, but not delicate.
"No need to be so polite. Please sit down, sisters." Liu Zhirou put on a friendly look. Although such an expression seemed a little incongruous on her face, which was younger than the two of them, it was still acceptable overall.
One of them was surnamed Ye, Ye Baolin, and the other was surnamed Jin, Jin Xuanshi. Both were selected from Liu Zhirou's group, but after a round of basic favors, neither of them got pregnant, and their looks were not what the emperor liked, so they were not taken seriously, and the rank they were given when they entered the palace is still the same.
Liu Zhirou didn't take them both to heart, nor did she care whether they were convinced or not.
The reason why she asked the Queen for these two people was, on the one hand, to show that she was in line with the mainstream and not the kind of person who was spoiled, and on the other hand, she wanted to use them as tools to satisfy the growth of her own energy bar.
Liu Zhirou gave them some gifts, and then ordered Tan Xiang to take them down to settle down. At this time, it was almost dark. Liu Zhirou controlled the ghost of the eunuch who had died in Weiyang Palace before, and began to wander around.
This trip was quite extraordinary, as I happened to run into a murder scene.
Liu Zhirou couldn't help but wonder what was going on. It seemed that all the palaces and courtyards were busy with murders, but tonight's murder was too strange. The person responsible for the killing was in tears, while the person being killed looked calm.
"Brother Tian, please go. The defense measures in the palace are not particularly strict now. I believe you can escape with your skills." Jian Ying gritted his teeth and finally threw the poisoned wine in his hand to the ground.
Jian Ying knew very well that the problem could only be truly solved by killing him, disposing of the body and filling it into the dry well.
However, the affection they had for each other since childhood made it difficult for her to do this, so even though she knew that this would be unfair to General Lin and Concubine Xian, she still did it.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What will you do if I run away? What about Concubine Xian? As long as I am alive, this plan will always have loopholes. Only when I die can you live well." The man called Brother Tian is very handsome. If he doesn't open his mouth, he looks no different from a woman. Perhaps it is because of this that he was able to get into the palace.
Liu Zhirou couldn't hear the conversation between the two of them at first, and thought it was just a quarrel between two palace maids. She was still wondering why this palace maid, whom Concubine Xian regarded as a confidant, would quarrel with a palace maid with a strange face. It was not until the cup of poisoned wine fell to the ground and the grass growing on the ground withered immediately that she realized something was wrong.
Another murder? If the killing continues, will there really be enough servants in Weiyang Palace?
But then, Liu Zhirou took a closer look and discovered something extraordinary.
As a ghost, she doesn't rely entirely on her eyes to see information around her. After all, some ghosts don't have eyes at all. Does that mean she can't detect anything? That's definitely impossible.
Her senses were inherently sharper than when she was a human, and after careful observation, she soon discovered that the maid in front of her was not a maid at all, but a serious man.
Liu Zhirou was suddenly at a loss.
She was indeed greatly shocked mentally. She thought she was bold enough to fake a pregnancy, but she didn't expect that the real ancient people were even more extravagant than her. She understood the current situation with a little speculation.
But Liu Zhirou still couldn't understand why Concubine Xian wanted to harm Ai Ziyi.
If it was just her own feeling, then she could still comfort herself that she might be overthinking and wrong, but even the emperor had the same feeling as her, so this matter became unusual.
Even if Ai Ziyi gave birth to a child before Concubine Xian, and gave birth to a son, so what?
She could indeed use her proximity to trap the inexperienced Ai Ziyi, but couldn't Chen Fei, who was also pregnant, still be able to give birth to the child?
This kind of action is completely harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself, and it is extremely risky. As long as Concubine Xian is not mentally ill, she would not do such a thing.
Unless Concubine Chen’s pregnancy this time was fake, and Concubine Xian has already obtained definite evidence?
Liu Zhirou's heart moved and she quickly rushed to Chen Fei's palace.
She did not continue to watch the tragic scene happening in the Weiyang Palace. The final results were nothing more than a few: either the man was determined to die, or the man accepted the advice of the palace maid and decided to escape from the palace under an assumed name.
Liu Zhirou had no intention of becoming the second Han Cairen. In this kind of matter, informing on others is inherently unpredictable. Unless one is caught in the act, there is a chance that one might be fooled or even be blamed for the crime.
Liu Zhirou was not afraid of being demoted, punished with house arrest, and banished to the cold palace, but she had not yet figured out the inside story of this place. It was not worth it to let her entire plan collapse because of such a small matter.
More importantly, she believed that even if she didn't get this one charge, she would be able to get other charges against Concubine Xian.
If that's the case, why would she do something that goes against her character?
Liu Zhirou always keeps her goal in mind. No one here is her enemy. At most, they are just obstacles on her way forward.
If she could go home after doing this, she would be able to do it, not to mention informing on others, even regicide. But the key is that she can't do it. Since she can't do it, there is no need for her to spend more time on such trivial matters.
