I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

After Liu Zhirou came out from Concubine De's place, she saw that it was getting dark, so she did not continue any further activities and went straight back to her palace.

Liu Zhirou was exhausted from controlling ghosts to wander around the palace every night these days.

This is not physical tiredness, but mental fatigue, which is difficult to replenish even after a good sleep.

Liu Zhirou thought to herself that maybe she should find a technique that could train her mental strength. Now she could train her body, but she didn't have any particularly good way to train her mental strength. She could only consume it and then expect it to replenish itself slowly.

This kind of rough exercise does have a certain growth effect, but it is too slow and not very effective.

Liu Zhirou had also tried to have her soul leave her body, but it was very strenuous and difficult to move. She was afraid that something might happen to her because of this, so she had to suppress her curiosity and not try again.

No matter what purpose you want to achieve, the first thing is to protect yourself and not let anything happen to you. Otherwise, everything will be in vain.

Moreover, she is not in a hurry now. From a general perspective, although she is very powerful now, she is also in danger in the palace. If she must be compared, it is probably the lucky maid Yu Ying'er in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", who seems to be favored by the emperor, but is actually worthless.

Yu Ying'er is just an insignificant chess piece in the hands of the Fourth Master, a pet to entertain him. Liu Zhirou does not complain about herself, but she also understands that in the eyes of this emperor, she is just a breeding machine.

But Liu Zhirou is not Yu Ying'er after all. She has seen more things and has more means.

But what she didn't expect was that the people in the palace were already wary of her to such an extent that when she went to visit Ai Ziyi the next day, she was actually stopped outside the door.

"Empress Chun, please go back. Concubine Lan is not feeling well and cannot see guests." The old nanny guarding the door was replaced. She was not the one who looked very mean before, but the words she said, although polite, made people feel cold for no reason.

She knew that some people wanted to isolate her from Ai Ziyi, but she didn't expect these people to go to such extremes.

"I understand." Liu Zhirou did not choose to argue with her at the door. It was meaningless. She just nodded silently and walked about half a mile away. Chuntao chased after her angrily.

"Your Majesty, why do you have to visit her in such a humble manner? When you were in favor, you supported her a lot. Now that she is in favor, she doesn't take you seriously!" Chun Tao was filled with indignation.

This girl's mind is so pure, good is good, bad is bad, which makes her liked by many people, but also offends many people. From her appearance, it is obvious that she went to find a palace maid friend who she got along well with before, and she was rejected in all likelihood.

"Chun Tao, don't say such things. Who in this palace doesn't have some difficulties?" Liu Zhirou knew what was going on, but she could only pray in her heart that Ai Ziyi would be a smart girl who knew how to advance and retreat.

Although knowing when to advance and when to retreat is itself a derogatory term.

"You are making excuses for her again, Your Majesty. In my opinion, you are just too kind, that's why you are always bullied by these people!" Chuntao was still very dissatisfied.

"No one bullied me, Chuntao." Liu Zhirou said calmly, "I just understood some things."

Chun Dao didn't quite understand, but a hint of joy was already revealed on her face. She thought Liu Zhirou meant that she had seen through Lan Meiren's true face, and she would never be deceived by such a person again.

This really is the best thing that could happen, Chuntao thought happily. Originally, Lady Lan was a good friend, but ever since she became pregnant, she has become too arrogant. Even her own wife was not so arrogant when she was pregnant.

What's even more hateful is that Concubine Lan has seduced the emperor's heart. In all those days, the emperor has only come to her three or five times, causing the empress to sit in the tent in a daze every night.

She took a few steps forward, as if wanting to comfort Liu Zhirou, but in the end she said nothing.

Chuntao knew nothing. When she was at the Liu Mansion, all she could think about was how her young lady could dress more beautifully and comb her hair more prettily so that she could overshadow all her sisters, whether born legitimate or illegitimate.

After entering the palace, the main concern is how to be the most glorious queen, how to win the emperor's heart, and how to live a good life.

But only Liu Zhirou knew that Ai Ziyi had not done anything wrong to her. Ai Ziyi's only mistake was that she was a little ignorant.

If Liu Zhirou tries her best and plays all her cards, can she find a way to save Ai Ziyi's child and reunite them?

The answer is yes, but it is not necessary. Doing so will seriously affect Liu Zhirou's subsequent rhythm and even disrupt her plan to go home.

They got along very well with each other, but that was just a pleasant experience.

Liu Zhirou can help Ai Ziyi gain the emperor's favor, help her eliminate potential dangers, chat with her and visit the garden, but she cannot give up everything for her.

Liu Zhirou always remembered clearly why she entered the palace and what she was going to do.

The reason she entered the palace was to show weakness to people of higher status so that she could get more energy bar rewards, which was exactly what she needed.

The next thing to do is to find a way back to the previous world by drawing skills through full energy bars or exploring the magical mysteries of this world.

Be it calculation, fake pregnancy, or competing for favor, they are all means, not ends.

Liu Zhirou had already done what she could. She tried her best to recruit enough accomplices for her friend, but unfortunately the effect was not obvious. If possible, she wanted to communicate the intelligence she got today with Ai Ziyi. But things have come to this point, and there is no need to take risks anymore.

What will happen in the end depends on Ai Ziyi herself.

"Let's go, Chuntao, it's time for us to go back to the palace." Liu Zhirou said softly.
