I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

Liu Zhirou was exhausted both physically and mentally, but she had to deal with Ai Ziyi.

She knew very well that Ai Ziyi was a very stubborn and passionate person, and if she couldn't give a suitable explanation, the other party would not give up.

Ai Ziyi's starting point may be good, but the final result may very well be bad.

"Why did you come here suddenly? Go back to the palace quickly. There are too many people here and it's not good for the child." Liu Zhirou used a panacea to deal with the situation.

"Oh, why are you like Sister Lin, always saying such spoiling things. I know my physique well, there won't be any problem." Ai Ziyi said coquettishly.

After living in fear for so many days, she urgently wanted to find a trustworthy confidant to talk about her troubles.

Liu Zhirou undoubtedly meets this requirement.

In Ai Ziyi's heart, her best friend is too weak to take care of herself. That is why she does not dare to entrust her own safety and the safety of her child to Liu Zhirou.

However, when faced with this kind of complaint, Liu Zhirou was extremely patient and considerate, which made Ai Ziyi, who grew up in a military family, very eager to get close to her.

Ai Ziyi's father was a general of grassroots origin, but this general did not have the bad habits that other men have. After becoming famous, he did not abandon his wife to find another woman, but always respected her very much.

Ai Ziyi's mother was the general's wife.

She used to be a peasant woman. Her husband was away at war and was often not at home. In order to protect her parents-in-law and young children, she was somewhat aggressive in her behavior.

Later, after she became the general's wife, she could not change this habit for a while. She used corporal punishment to educate her children and never let them cry.

Moreover, General Ai has always respected his wife very much, and there are not too many concubines in the family. The Ai family has more sons than daughters, and the family tradition is quite upright, so there are not many problems of family disputes.

Ai Ziyi grew up in the care of her parents and didn't feel anything was wrong. It was not until she entered the palace and met so many beautiful girls that she realized there were so many intrigues between girls and that a simple greeting could be interpreted in dozens of ways.

She did not sense any of the upbringing of a lady from a noble family or the reserve of an aristocrat. She only felt fear and discomfort.

Liu Zhirou was completely different from them. She was as gentle as a breeze and as clear as water. She spoke without sarcasm and would never mock her stupidity, either openly or secretly.

Ai Ziyi even often thinks that a real lady from a noble family should be like this, not like those Jade Beauty Du Baolin, who appear to be all sisters and friends, but in fact, she has so many dirty calculations hidden in her heart, and she wants to step on everyone to show her goodness.

What about the farming and reading family, the scholarly family, the moral and noble family? When they see the benefits, they are like vultures seeing a corpse in a cemetery. Without the benefits, they immediately throw the person aside and even want to step on him. Ai Ziyi felt that the most despicable person she had ever met would probably not be so shameless.

Ai Ziyi was very happy to see her good friend Liu Zhirou. However, she was not happy anymore when she thought that it would not be long before Liu Zhirou would have to serve the Queen Mother instead of the Emperor to show her filial piety.

If possible, Ai Ziyi hopes that her dear sister Lin and her newly acquainted sister Liu can accompany her when she gives birth.

In this way, she can tell her children in person, look, this is your Empress Xian, and this is your Empress Chun, they are the most trustworthy people in this palace.

But who could disobey the emperor's order? Ai Ziyi could only hope that after she gave birth to the child, she could speak to the emperor as soon as possible and ask him to take Liu Zhirou back to the palace.

Liu Zhirou didn't know what Ai Ziyi was planning. She was just very worried about Ai Ziyi's health and the current complicated situation.

Ai Ziyi shouldn't come here, no matter what.

It's really too chaotic here, especially since you are unfamiliar with the place and you could be harmed at any time.

If she came here fully prepared, there might not be anything wrong. However, seeing that she had thrown the maids around her five or six steps behind her, it was obvious that she was not fully prepared.

"You shouldn't have come, Ziyi. Have you forgotten the lesson I taught you? I just drank a cup of tea from Concubine Shu, and something went wrong. Fortunately, the clues were obvious and the emperor was wise, so he gave me justice. If you had attended the palace banquet here and something went wrong, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to find out who was behind it!" Liu Zhirou sighed with a sad face.

Although what she said might be a little unpleasant to the ear, it did make sense. Even someone as open-minded as Ai Ziyi was visibly stunned after hearing this.

"With so many people... no one should dare to do anything rash, right?" Ai Ziyi said hesitantly, and then became cheerful again: "The Imperial Hospital specially customized a pair of special silver-headed chopsticks for me. No matter what kind of poison it is, it can be tested. Nothing will go wrong!"

Liu Zhirou was suddenly speechless.

She really wanted to grab this careless guy's ears and remind him that silver chopsticks were not omnipotent and could not detect all poisons!

Even the silver chopsticks specially made by the Imperial Hospital cannot do this!

The easiest poison to test for in silver cutlery is arsenic. But if you use something like arsenic to test something that may cause miscarriage, it seems like the product is not the same as the one given, right?

What's more, many things that are harmful to pregnant women are not toxic in themselves!

Not to mention safflower as a medicinal herb, crabs and turtles are delicious delicacies in themselves, but once consumed by pregnant women, problems can easily arise.

What's worse is that these foods are quite hidden. People have different physiques and different adaptability. Some people may have severe reactions after eating them, while others may not have any reactions at all. Even if someone finds out, it can't be used as evidence. At most, it can be considered that the people below were careless and this is the reason for the problem.

This kind of thing is hard to guard against in one's own territory, and Ai Ziyi even came over to attend the palace banquet so carefreely, which really makes people worry.

If it was really just this problem, Liu Zhirou wouldn't necessarily care so much.

Good words cannot persuade a damned ghost. It is enough to remind him. If Ai Ziyi wants to do so, then it is her own business.

But the key point is, Ai Ziyi couldn't have come here this time just to see off the Empress Dowager, whom she had never met, or to show filial piety to the Emperor, right?

Then it can only be considered as a gift to Liu Zhirou herself.

Something happened to Ai Ziyi on the way to send her there, which made her worry about it.

Liu Zhirou hated owing others things, and she hated owing others things in such an unexpected way even more.
