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

Chapter 105 Plan ahead
"Bold Liu Mu! The royal family treats the Liu family well. I didn't expect that Liu Mu would dare to betray the emperor. He really deserves to die!"

The Queen Mother was so angry that she slapped the gauntlet.

She took the list and read it slowly. The more she looked at it, the uglier her face became. Her eyes seemed to be on fire and could explode at any time.

"Is there any other evidence?"

The Queen Mother asked coldly.

"Liu Mu is vigorously expanding his military equipment, and has established more than a dozen new military camps in the Xingmubao Fortress in the north and the Jinyun Mountain defense line, and is training new troops."

The Yanwu secret guards below reported again.

"Approximately how many people are there in the new army?"

The Queen Mother asked with a dark face.

"There are about 20 people, and the number is continuing to expand. The final target number is unknown."

Yanwu secret guard responded.

"Okay, you go down, the Ai family knows."

The Empress Dowager waved her hand, and the Yanwu secret guards retreated.

"This is really unexpected! Liu Mu, your ambition is too great!"

The Queen Mother was very angry and the consequences were serious.

"Come here, it's said that Dugu Shenyong came to the palace to see you!"

The Queen Mother thought of her allies.

Dugu Shenyong has been determined to win the crown prince position ever since Lu Hao gave him the idea to form an alliance with the Empress Dowager.

She has 30 elite troops in the Yanshan camp, and the Queen Mother has the right to speak in the court and can influence the emperor's thoughts.

Therefore, Dugu Shenyong was in a good mood during this period.

Although it was getting late, he hurried into the palace when the Empress Dowager summoned him.

There is no doubt that the current empress dowager has basically determined that Liu Mu is ready to rebel.

However, at this time, the emperor was injured and poisoned and fell into a coma, so she had to take precautions.

The 30-strong army in the hands of Dugu Shenyong was the backbone of the battle against King Beiyuan.

"Master Marquis, the general situation is like this. Liu Mu may rebel at any time, and the emperor is in a coma. Therefore, the Ai family wants you to be at your disposal at any time!"

said the empress dowager.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, the veteran's 30-strong army must have the Emperor's tiger talisman for troop deployment. As long as the Queen Mother has the tiger talisman, the army will be at your disposal at any time!"

Dugu Shenyong said loudly.

"Yeah! Very good! Go back and get ready and wait for the Aijia's orders!"

The Queen Mother was very satisfied.

"Old minister retire!"

Dugu Shenyong said goodbye at the right time.

……

On the other side, Lu Hao left the Criminal Department, got on the carriage, and prepared to return to the palace to resume his life.

Along the way, he was wondering who the mastermind behind the assassination of the emperor was?
After much thought, I finally thought of a person.

Since the Empress Dowager wanted to assassinate his son, he would assassinate the Empress Dowager's son now.

Blood for blood, tooth for tooth!
It seems to be exactly that person's style.

However, without evidence, all speculations are just speculations and meaningless.

Who would have known that when Lu Hao returned to Qianyuan Palace, the emperor was already asleep.

Eunuch Yan asked him not to disturb the emperor, so Lu Hao had no choice but to leave.

At the same time, a horrific poisoning incident was taking place in the Penal Department Prison.

Early the next morning, Lu Hao was still asleep when he was woken up by the Yi sisters.

"Master Lu, something big has happened! Something big has happened!"

Ruyan shook him hard.

"Uh! What happened?"

Lu Hao opened his eyes in a daze.

"Liu Yi is dead!"

Rushuang responded loudly.

"What? Liu Yi is dead!"

Lu Hao shook his head and suddenly woke up.

how so?Wasn't it good last night?

Didn't he ask Lord Di to protect his safety?How could he die?
Lu Hao was full of questions, so he quickly got up, put on his clothes, got on the carriage and went straight to the Criminal Department.

"Do you know how Liu Yi died?" Lu Hao asked.

"I don't know. Eunuch Yan sent someone to inform us."

Ruyan said.

If Eunuch Yan notifies you, it means that the emperor already knows.

However, the emperor's health is so bad now...

When Lu Hao thought of this, he was a little worried about Murong Yuan's health.

In fact, when Murong Yuan heard that Liu Yi was dead, he fainted on the spot.

Originally, this matter could be easily solved as long as the emperor came forward.

However, now that Liu Yi is dead, the situation is completely different.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Criminal Department.Lu Hao couldn't wait to jump down.

"Where is Master Di?"

Lu Hao asked the guard at the door loudly.

"Master Di is in the prison. Master Lu, I will take you there."

the guard said loudly.

"No need, I can find the prison myself."

Lu Hao rushed in angrily.

After a while, Lu Hao came to the place where Liu Yi was imprisoned.

However, the person who was still alive last night has now turned into a cold corpse.

"Master Di, didn't I ask you to protect the young prince last night?"

Lu Hao shouted sharply.

Master Di, who was investigating the situation, ran over after hearing this and fell to his knees with a thud.

"Master Lu, this time I'm done with my dismissal, you have to save me!"

Master Di was very frightened.

"Save you? How? Didn't I tell you last night? Why does this happen again?"

Lu Hao wanted to know the specific situation.

"After your Excellency left last night, I sent manpower to strengthen the guard here. Who would have thought... something like this happened this morning!"

Mr. Di wanted to cry but had no tears.

"How did the young prince die?"

Lu Hao walked towards the corpse.

"The young prince died of poisoning. I don't know when he was poisoned? I want to conduct an autopsy on the young prince to find out the truth!"

Lord Di said.

"Autopsy? How did you figure it out? The young prince is already dead. If the body is still being dissected, it would be strange if Liu Mu didn't rebel immediately!"

Lu Hao said angrily.

Originally, the autopsy was to investigate the truth, but Liu Mu, who had lost his beloved son, must have thought that they would not even spare his son's body. Maybe, out of anger, he immediately rebelled.

"This official didn't think things through well, and this is what I have to teach you."

Master Di said in fear.

"What about the murderer? Have you caught him?"

Lu Hao asked with a dark face.

"No, the extra guards sent last night are also missing! I suspect they were the ones who did it and have already sent people to look for it."

Lord Di shook his head and responded with a grimace.

"Master Di, just wish yourself well!"

Lu Hao was almost furious.

I really don’t know what this Master Di does for food?
Even though he had been reminded, Liu Yi still died, and the murderer was not caught.

If Liu Mu led an army of 30 people southward in a fit of anger, Master Di would be guilty of a great crime.

In fact, even if Liu Mu doesn't rebel, Master Di's black gauze hat is probably not guaranteed.

As for whether the head on the neck can be saved, it depends on the emperor's mood.

At this time, Prime Minister Yu Qian, led by civil and military officials, also appeared in Tianlao.

As the head of a hundred officials, I am very dissatisfied and extremely disappointed with Lord Di's performance.

If Liu Yi had not died, there would still be room for change in this matter. Now that Liu Yi is dead, Liu Mu will definitely get the news soon.

Once Liu Mu launches a rebellion and leads his army south, the ethnic minority tribes on the northern border will definitely take advantage of it.
