I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

Liu Zhirou joked a few more times before letting Chuntao go. She was originally planning to visit Ai Ziyi again, but when she opened the panel, she found that the energy bar was full, so she had to give up for the time being.

Ai Ziyi's matter is of course quite urgent, but after all, there are the Emperor, the Virtuous Concubine, and the Queen Mother, so many eyes are watching there. Even if there is someone who really wants to take action against her, it is not particularly easy.

Compared to Ai Ziyi's affairs, the skills that are about to be extracted are more important.

Liu Zhirou had thought about using this energy bar to further strengthen her existing skills, but she was frustrated to find that it was impossible to enhance existing skills without restraint. There seemed to be a very important thing missing between maintaining the status quo and continuing to grow.

Liu Zhirou couldn’t figure out what this thing was and had no way to get it, so she could only put it aside and let it go.

Continue to draw.

It was still the familiar animation. After it ended, Liu Zhirou breathed a sigh of relief. It was a skill.

She now has a kind of mysterious sense about the prizes drawn in the lottery. Whether it is a skill, an item, or something else, she has a better understanding of it.

Compared to items that may or may not be useful, Liu Zhirou prefers skills.

The name of this skill is Demonic Illusion.

The name seems very scary, but in fact the effect is not particularly obvious. It can cause people to have strong hallucinations for a short time, or weak hallucinations for a long time, but it cannot kill people directly unless they already have this disease.

If used on the front battlefield, this skill would be completely useless, but for Liu Zhirou now, it is just right.

Force cannot be abandoned. After all, if the relationship really breaks down, Liu Zhirou must have something to guarantee her bottom line safety. But this skill can undoubtedly be regarded as timely rain, allowing her to get better and accumulate more energy.

Liu Zhirou already has a very bold idea, now all she needs to do is verify it.

After Liu Zhirou finished drawing her skills and experimented for a while, it was getting late, so she gave up the idea of ​​visiting and asked the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for a hotpot.

Once you are on someone else's territory, it will be difficult to eat whatever you want.

But just as the hot pot was set up, an uninvited guest arrived.

"How come Her Majesty Defei has time to come to my place?" Liu Zhirou was really confused about the purpose of Her Majesty Defei's visit.

Except for one time when she extracted some information from Concubine De in order to clarify what happened in Weiyang Palace, the two of them never had any other interactions.

Defei's sudden visit at this critical juncture did indeed surprise her.

"Can't you come if there's nothing wrong? I just missed my sister Chunpin very much after not seeing her for a few days, so I came here. Now it seems that Chunpin doesn't welcome me a little?" Defei said in an ambiguous tone.

"No, no, of course I'm happy that Your Majesty is willing to come to my place. I'm just afraid that Changchun Palace is too simple and I can't entertain you properly." Liu Zhirou certainly couldn't show any opposition, she was the purest and innocent little white rabbit.

"If you don't mind, please have a meal with us." Liu Zhirou made the invitation hesitantly.

However, Concubine De agreed without hesitation.

"I heard that the Empress Dowager will be leaving for Renshou Palace soon. Since you are going to take care of the Empress Dowager on behalf of the Emperor, you will probably be in the team being taken away." Defei was very elegant when eating, but did not seem to follow the rule of not talking while eating. She said while eating hot pot.

"Is that so? There's nothing wrong with this." Liu Zhirou was obviously stunned.

She had long guessed that the Queen Mother would not stay in the palace for too long, but she did not expect her to leave so soon, even before the result of Concubine Guo's punishment came out.

But that didn't matter. Or rather, it made her actions easier.

"You are quite open-minded. Aren't you afraid that the emperor will forget about you after you leave the palace?" asked Concubine De.

"It would be a lie to say I'm not afraid, but now that things have come to this, what can I do?" Liu Zhirou looked submissive.

Concubine De frowned visibly.

"You could have obviously avoided this disaster, obviously..." Defei cleared her throat and was about to analyze the situation when she was interrupted by Liu Zhirou.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to say anything. This is my fate. What's more, even if I stay in the palace shamelessly, what's the use? Now the battles among the gods in the harem are no longer a simple fight for favor." Liu Zhirou's face was very calm.

"If I continue to stay in the palace, I might be favored, or I might lose my life because of some unexpected disaster. My status in the palace is not the lowest, not by much. Since my father and brothers from my mother's family are not ambitious enough, I should be more careful in the palace."

"Leave this place and go to the Queen Mother. Even if things are bad right now, at least your life will be saved. As long as you are alive, you may be able to make a breakthrough someday."

Liu Zhirou didn't believe that Concubine De came to visit just to find someone to talk to. In all likelihood, she wanted to continue to instigate her to make trouble so as to achieve her own goal.

Liu Zhirou couldn't guess Concubine De's purpose, but she didn't intend to follow her pace.

She quietly opened the panel and saw that the energy bar suddenly rose a lot, and then stopped. She felt bad and looked up at Concubine De, seeing her thoughtful look.

"Is that what you think? Although you are a little timid, you are also smart." De Fei sighed and asked seriously: "How do you think the situation in the harem will develop?"

"What can a person like me analyze? But I have been very sensitive since I was a child. I'm afraid that the harem is about to change." Liu Zhirou didn't want to continue this topic, but Concubine De was still relentless and she started to exaggerate.

"Do you think Concubine Chen can replace the Queen?" Concubine De was obviously surprised.

"Maybe she can be replaced, maybe not. Although Concubine Chen seems to have the advantage now, the Queen is not someone to be trifled with. What's more, Concubine Chen has more than one opponent, right?" Liu Zhirou answered ambiguously.

"Then why do you use the word 'change of situation' to describe it?" Concubine De was very curious and continued to ask.
