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

Chapter 196 Two Tigers Fight
When Chen Yuhuan learned that Murong Yuan had killed her sister, her father asked her to poison Murong Yuan.

One is her husband and the other is her sister.

Her husband killed her sister, which she couldn't accept at all, and her father asked her to poison her husband.

This incident made her depressed and sick, and she couldn't afford to fall ill.

Until he discovered that Lu Hao was a fake eunuch, and that it was Lu Hao who favored her on behalf of the emperor every time. She immediately got rid of the gloom and fell in love with Lu Hao wholeheartedly.

After that, every time she got along with Lu Hao, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to it, and that was why she became pregnant with Lu Hao's child when she left the imperial capital.

I'm afraid only the two of them know about this, and even Chen Lin doesn't doubt this.

Until Chen Yuhuan showed pregnancy symptoms, Chen Lin's family naturally believed that Chen Yuhuan was pregnant with the emperor's dragon seed.

Now that the Queen is pregnant with a dragon seed, if she gives birth to a son, he will be his legitimate son.

As for the legitimate son, with the plan of "Wise Commander" Chen Lin, there would be no difficulty in ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor.

Even if Murong Yao is canonized as the prince, Chen Lin has ten thousand ways to help Chen Yuhuai's son return to the imperial capital and regain the throne.

"Hahaha...what a great joy..."

Wu Qingyu's smile suddenly faded and his mouth closed.

The military power of the imperial capital is now in the hands of the Dugu family. Although His Highness the Crown Prince is seriously injured, he will definitely be able to recover slowly.

Liu Mu made a sneak attack on Hangu Pass again. Chen Lin would definitely not give up, and the war was about to break out.

In such a complicated situation, if the Queen is pregnant with a dragon species, wouldn't it be another bloody storm?

When Chen Yuhuan left, she asked Lu Hao not to forget her.

This woman who loved him so much and without any reservation was now pregnant with his child.

Lu Hao was excited and couldn't help but miss her a little.

However, after this incident, Lu Hao began to worry about what he would do if another woman got pregnant?

Fortunately, in the past, no matter which concubine Lu Hao favored, Murong Yuan ordered Eunuch Hai not to keep any seeds.

Otherwise, we don’t know how many concubines and nobles are pregnant in the harem now.

Now that he has regained his identity, he can marry and have children, but he must be careful about concubines and nobles in the palace in the future.

If one of the concubines or nobles becomes pregnant with a child, it will be difficult to explain.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, now that the Queen is pregnant with a dragon seed, Chen Lin said that he wants to send the Queen back to the palace. What should we do about this matter?"

Wu Qingyu asked with a grimace.

"Hangu Pass was successfully attacked by Liu Fan. Liu Mu will definitely enter Hangu Pass, and Chen Lin will not give up. This battle is unavoidable!"

"As for escorting the queen back to the palace, I'm afraid it's not a simple matter, and..."

Lu Hao hesitated to speak.

There is no doubt that if this news is known to Dugu Yi, he will never let the queen back easily.

However, Lu Hao would never watch his woman and son die violently.

"Master Wu, please pass on the order and send additional spies to Hangu Pass to closely monitor the movements of Chen Lin and Liu Mu's army."

Lu Hao's eyes narrowed and he ordered loudly.

"I obey the Prime Minister's order!" Wu Qingyu loudly accepted the order.

Chen Lin and Liu Mu are both pillars of the empire. If a war breaks out, it will definitely be a bloody storm.

Lu Hao didn't have much favorable impression of Chen Lin. If it weren't for Chen Yuhuan, he wouldn't bother to care about his personal grudge with Liu Mu.

Murong Yuan was also responsible for this incident. If he hadn't sent Lu Hao to inform Liu Mu that his son Liu Yi was killed by Chen Lin, there would never have been this civil strife in the empire.

Instead, it was Liu Mu. Lu Hao had contacted him and held the contact token given to him by the emperor, so he was somewhat involved.

When two tigers fight, one will be hurt!
Sure enough, among the memorials delivered the next day.

"Wise Commander" Chen Lin reported that Hangu Pass was taken away by Liu Mu, and wrote to the court, accusing Liu Mu of treason. At the same time, he announced that the Yulin Army would retaliate tooth for tooth, blood for blood, and declared war with Liu Mu.

Liu Mu, the king of Beiyuan, was not a soft persimmon. He reported to the court that Chen Lin had murdered his son Liu Yi and provoked a dispute between Beiyuan Mu's palace and the royal family. This was a heinous crime and he raised troops to attack Chen Lin.

Liu Mu's vanguard army, Liu Qian, then led an army of 20 people into the Pass. Liu Mu also personally led an army of [-] people southward, sweeping across the Central Plains with an overwhelming force.

The famous "Wang Shuai Rebellion" in the history of the Great Yan Empire finally kicked off.

Lu Hao faces the biggest problem and the biggest crisis since he came to power.

The empire is highly unified and centralized. If the two are allowed to go to war, the major forces in the empire will definitely question the empire's control and avoid rebellion.

If you support one side and suppress the other, you must take specific actions and ensure a complete victory, otherwise the foundation of the empire will be shaken.

"You are all important ministers of the empire. What do you think of these two matters? You can speak freely."

Lu Hao is not a dictator and lets everyone make suggestions.

"To report to the Prime Minister, I believe that Liu Mu's son Liu Yi died in the hands of Chen Lin. There is no evidence for this matter, and it is not enough to win the trust of the world. Even if there is evidence, it should be reported to the court. It cannot be used for public purposes or for private use. Send troops to take revenge.”

"It has become a fact that Liu Mu suddenly sent troops to occupy Hangu Pass. Therefore, no matter what his reasons are, he is the one who provoked the war and should be punished by the imperial law."

Dugu Feng, the Minister of War, was the first to speak and pointed out Liu Mu's mistake.

"The official thinks that Liu Mu is just an excuse to avenge the murder of his son and goes south to disrupt the overall situation of the world. It is really a wolf's ambition, and the court must guard against it!"

Xu Liting, the Minister of Personnel, also spoke.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I believe that Liu Mu now has 50 troops, which can be said to be a strong army. If the imperial court supports Chen Lin head-on, it will definitely anger Liu Mu and cause him to go south for revenge."

"Moving from the north to the south, there are almost no natural dangers to defend. If Liu Mu's army sweeps across the Central Plains, then I am afraid that life will be ruined and the people will suffer."

Du Ze, the Minister of Rites, analyzed.

"Yes, once the war breaks out, the vast land to the north of the empire will surely fall into flames of war. The empire is experiencing civil strife, and it is not appropriate to start fighting again now."

Tang Yu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, also agreed.

"Liu Yi was poisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The official reviewed the investigation files at that time, and most of the clues indeed pointed to the Imperial Grand Marshal Chen Lin."

"Although Chen Lin is the Grand Marshal of the Empire, if he really planned the murder of Liu Yi behind the scenes and deliberately provoked a conflict between the Mu Palace and the imperial court, according to the imperial criminal law, his family should be confiscated and exterminated."

Zhang Zhongwei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, interjected coldly.

"Master Zhang, is it really the Generalissimo who was behind the murder of Liu Yi? If there is no direct evidence, it cannot be easily convicted, and the Generalissimo and Liu Mu don't seem to have much grudge. What is the motive for this murder?"

Dugu Feng raised questions.
