Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 23

Liu Jin took it and felt the package sinking, feeling overjoyed.

"Eunuch Li, thank you."

It seems that the master is also a eunuch in the palace.

Why should we respect Liu Jin?
Lu Hao suddenly became interested.

"Eunuch Liu, don't you want to check it out?"

Eunuch Li laughed softly.

"Eunuch Li, our family can trust you. However, Eunuch Li, don't worry. If anyone asks, our family won't know anything. Don't worry about this."

Liu Jin smiled lightly.

"Eunuch Liu is worrying too much, our family just..."

Before Eunuch Li finished speaking, he suddenly took action.

Lightning fast!

Click!

Liu Jin's neck was twisted alive.

Four words came to Lu Hao's mind.

Murder and kill!
Why did Eunuch Li kill Liu Jin?

Could it be related to Prince Jing’s victimization?

Or do the two of them have other ulterior secrets?
Driven by curiosity, Lu Hao prepared to take the risk to follow Eunuch Li.

On the other side, Eunuch Li killed Liu Jin, picked up the package on the ground, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

Lu Hao held his breath and waited quietly, motionless.

It turned out that he found that Eunuch Li did not leave, but wanted to see if there was anyone behind.

After about 3 minutes, Eunuch Li made sure that there was really no one at the scene, and then left quietly.

Lu Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but also secretly became vigilant.

There is no doubt that Eunuch Li must have discovered something just now, so he stayed for three more minutes.

It turned out that the distance between the two of them was more than ten meters, and Lu Hao extended to more than 20 meters.

His current hearing limit is about 30 meters.

This distance is just right for tracking and avoiding being discovered by Eunuch Li.

Half an hour later, Eunuch Li came to a palace.

Huaqing Palace?
It’s actually Huaqing Palace?

Lu Hao is too familiar with this place.

After all, he was here last night to favor Concubine Hua on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor.

Eunuch Li is from Concubine Hua?
On the other side, Dugu Yi and Shangguan Yuehua suddenly panicked when they learned that the emperor was staying at Concubine Li's Cuili Palace.

After all, anyone could guess that the emperor went to Cuili Palace to investigate the murder of Prince Jing.

However, the emperor stayed at Cuili Palace. Does this mean that the emperor was sure that Concubine Li was not responsible?
Since it's not Concubine Li, aren't the remaining two concubines the most suspicious?
Although both of them have backers and are confident, it is never a good thing to be suspected by the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the matter has been settled."

Eunuch Li did not enter the room, but hid by the window and reported in a low voice.

"Very good! You can go back."

Concubine Hua replied coldly.

Lu Hao looked at Eunuch Li's leaving figure and still couldn't figure out the reason.

Since you don’t know, you might as well go back to sleep.

……

Perhaps because Prince Jing was killed, Murong Yuan did not go to court the next day, but closed his eyes and rested in the inner room of the royal study.

Lu Hao was on duty in the outer hall, sorting out the memorials sent to him.

"Xiao Liuzi, where is the emperor?"

Eunuch Hai came in a hurry.

"Reporting to Eunuch Hai, this slave has just finished giving the Emperor acupuncture and should be resting."

Lu Hao pointed to the inner room.

Eunuch Hai ignored him, went directly into the inner room, and closed the door behind his back.

"Your Majesty, Liu Jin, Eunuch Liu, the eunuch in charge of the direct palace eunuch, has been killed!"

Eunuch Hai reported in a low voice.

"What? Liu Jin was killed!"

Murong Yuan opened his eyes suddenly, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

Could it be that my palace was captured by a killer? "Reporting to your Majesty, I found this secret letter at Eunuch Liu's residence. I have just read the contents."

Eunuch Hai handed over a letter.

Murong Yuan took the letter and read it carefully, his expression getting worse and worse.

Snapped!
Murong Yuan slapped his hand on the table.

Click!

The table is cracked!
"Emperor calm down!"

Eunuch Hai comforted him in a low voice: "I don't think this letter is true!"

"not true?"

Murong Yuan started chewing.

"Your Majesty, Beiyuan King Liu Mu has an army of 30 men, guarding the north, and has always been loyal. I don't think his son Liu Yi would do such an outrageous thing!"

Eunuch Hai analyzed it carefully.

Speaking of Liu Mu, the Great King of Beiyuan, he was the King of Side by Side named by the previous emperor, and he was also the only king with a different surname in the empire.

The letter found actually pointed to the person behind the murder of Prince Jing, his son Liu Yi.

Liu Yi now lives in the Muwang Mansion in Yandi City.

Murong Yuan knew that arresting Liu Yi based on just one letter would have disastrous consequences if Liu Mu was offended.

"Your analysis makes sense. How many people have read this letter?"

Murong Yuan nodded slightly.

"After searching this letter, only me has read it. As for whether I have read it before, I dare not say."

Eunuch Hai responded.

"This matter must be kept secret. As for whether Liu Yi did it, we will immediately send someone to secretly monitor the Mu Palace and look for any clues."

Murong Yuan gave instructions in a low voice.

Keep it secret?How to keep it secret?

Lu Hao was secretly amused. With his hearing, could he keep it secret?
However, he did not tell Murong Yuan the details of Liu Jin's murder last night or the matter of following Eunuch Li.

What he didn't expect was that Eunuch Li was from Concubine Hua. How could the man behind the scenes become Liu Yi?
Although Lu Hao knew something, he didn't want to get himself into trouble.

She didn't even think about it, but behind Concubine Hua stood the Empress Dowager and Shangguan Cheng.

If you want to overthrow Concubine Hua with just a few words of your own, that is just a fool's errand.

Life is important!

Besides, how could I betray Concubine Hua after spending a night of kindness to her husband?
"The slave understands."

Eunuch Hai was ordered to leave.

Liu Jin made Murong Yuan so angry that he immediately summoned Shangguan Cheng and ordered him to strengthen the security of the palace.

Especially the addition of Ouchi masters to protect the other three princes.

Several ministers were also summoned to discuss the funeral of Prince Jing, and finally Sun Zhonghou, the Minister of Rites, was appointed to be responsible for the matter.

noon.

Eunuch Hai is back.

"Your Majesty, I would like to see you, Commander-in-Chief!"

What?Smart and handsome?

Murong Yuan felt that his breathing was half a beat slower.

My daughter is dead!My grandson is also dead!

The "wise and handsome" Chen Lin, who originally wanted to keep a low profile, finally came out!
"The abbot is here! Please invite me quickly!"

Murong Yuan came to his senses.

At the same time, a tall man, wearing red armor and a sword hanging on his waist, came with his head held high.

A strong murderous aura rushes towards him, it is bone-chilling and makes people feel like they have fallen into an ice cave.

Lu Hao felt his hands and feet were cold and he was a little out of breath.

What a terrifying killing intent! !

This is the essence of murderous intent condensed from long battles and bloody battles.

Murong Yuan took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and quickly stood up to greet him.

"Old minister sees the emperor!"

Chen Lin said loudly.

However, his proud and upright body remained motionless, and he never thought about kneeling down.
