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

Chapter 385

"If you succeed in poisoning, how do you get in touch with this masked man in black? Or how do you report it to him?"

Lu Hao continued to ask.

"Once the slave is successfully poisoned, he will flee to the north gate. He will personally pick up the slave and leave, and promises to send the slave's family to the land of Xichu."

Ning Xi burst into tears and choked with sobs.

"Ning Xi, you know that murdering the two empresses and important officials of the empire is a capital crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan. However, I think of you as a filial piety, so I can spare you from death..."

"However, you must serve your crime and find the poisoner with the truth..."

Lu Hao made his request.

"But I am worried that they will kill my parents..."

Ning Xi is really in a dilemma.

"Don't worry, I promise to save your parents, but you must listen to me."

Lu Hao comforted.

"Prime Minister, as long as we can save our parents, Ning Xi is willing to die to apologize!"

Ning Xi already had the will to die.

"Don't worry, the truth is true. I promised to spare you from death, and I will never lie to you!"

Lu Hao responded with a smile, which made Ning Xi feel more at ease.

"The Prime Minister is very kind to us palace maids, and he also gave us a monthly salary increase. Ning Xi is sorry for you! Ning Xi really knows that he was wrong!"

Ning Xi blamed herself.

"Okay, don't worry, as long as you do what the truth says, the truth will ensure the safety of your family..."

"You go to the north gate now to see this masked man in black. I estimate that he will kill and silence you. However, I will protect you secretly. You don't have to be afraid... As long as you recognize this masked man in black, you will You can retreat, and the mission is completed!"

Lu Hao explained.

Ning Xi could only listen to Lu Hao's words now, so she agreed wholeheartedly.

Lu Hao walked over slowly, and the group of people outside suddenly became quiet.

"Your Majesty, please ask the royal kitchen to rearrange the meals and continue today's royal banquet. The truth will come as you go. Regarding the poisoning, the truth will be found out..."

Lu Hao said loudly.

"Prime Minister, please go with me."

Wu Qingyu volunteered.

He was delayed today and was the last to arrive. When he learned that someone had poisoned him, he knew that Lu Hao must be tracking the enemy, so he wanted to go with him.

"Prime Minister, my subordinates should also go with you."

Yi Ruyan also stood up.

"Okay, just follow the truth."

Lu Hao said and walked towards the inner room.

Ning Xi followed Lu Hao's instructions and walked all the way towards the north gate. Although she felt uneasy, she felt much more at ease.

With Mr. Xiang and Mr. Wu following him, even if the masked man in black wanted to kill him, it would probably be difficult to do so.

Besides, the task Lu Hao gave her was to retreat once she recognized the masked man in black.

Ning Xi hurriedly walked through the Imperial Garden, passed several palaces, and soon saw the north gate of the palace.

At the north gate of the palace, there were only a few guards on duty, rubbing their hands and blowing hot air on a snowy day.

The white snow is flying, and the goose-feather-like snow is falling. Maybe it’s because of the cold weather, maybe it’s because of the Chinese New Year reunion, and the streets outside are very quiet.

Ning Xi walked slowly towards the north gate, her face flushed and her little heart beating thumpingly.

Suddenly, a figure flashed past and pulled her into the alley.

"grown ups……"

Ning Xi was so frightened that she trembled all over.

"How are things going?"

The masked man in white asked coldly.

"Sir...my lord, this slave...this slave has...according to your request...poisoned the food and wine."

Ning Xi's tongue was trembling. "Did Lu Hao eat it after he was poisoned?"

The masked man in white asked.

"After eating, the two empresses also ate, and so did the ministers and generals!"

Ning Xi reported according to what Lu Hao taught.

"In that case, you can go die!"

The masked man said grimly.

He stretched out his big hand and grabbed Ning Xi's neck.

boom!
The gunshot rang out, and the bullet pierced the sky and hit his arm.

The masked man's arm was injured, and he let go of Ning Xi in pain.

Ning Xi fell to the ground and was so frightened that she quickly got up and ran for her life.

The sound of gunshots here also alerted the guards at the north gate, who immediately rushed towards this side.

"There is an assassin! Catch the assassin..."

the Praetorian Guard shouted.

dang dang...

The alarm system of the palace sounded, and the Imperial Guards came from all directions.

When the masked man saw that he was exposed, he didn't dare to stay at all, so he jumped into the air and climbed out of the palace wall.

Judging from his light body technique, he is at least a master of level seven or above.

"Ruyan, protect Ning Xi and seal off the palace. Mr. Wu, let's go after him."

Lu Hao stood on the roof, looking at the fleeing enemies, with a sneer on his lips.

With his current abilities, it was impossible to escape his pursuit.

In fact, he didn't need to follow him so closely. However, Lu Hao was worried that the masked man would kill Ning Xi's parents and silence them after he returned, so he pursued them very closely this time.

The masked man was as fast as lightning. After a few ups and downs, he landed in an alley and got into a carriage.

Soon, a carriage sped out of the alley and headed towards the north gate.

Lu Haoyi and Wu Qingyu, both of whom were extremely skilled in Qinggong, followed closely behind and headed towards the north gate.

With the cover of heavy snow, today is another Chinese New Year reunion, and now it is lunch time. I met few people along the way.

After the carriage left the imperial city, it turned towards the west. Soon it came to a small village and entered a courtyard.

"King Wei, you are back? How is the situation?"

A person's voice came, which immediately startled Lu Hao.

If his guess was correct, this King Wei should be the guy who followed King Huainan and Prince Hao to rebel.

However, why is the voice of the guy who asked the question so familiar?

Lu Hao rolled his eyes, and the two young masters suddenly came to mind.

If he guessed correctly, the guy asking the question was Murong Xi, the son of King Huainan.

"Hehehe...it's done, but I've been exposed and must evacuate immediately."

King Wei sneered again and again.

"Is it really done? If Lu Hao and those ministers die, the imperial capital will be completely in chaos. Can't we march eastward and take the imperial capital?"

Another familiar voice came.

Lu Hao immediately recognized that this guy was Prince Hao's son Murong Qi.

Unexpectedly, King Huainan and Prince Hao actually sent their sons to carry out this assassination operation with King Wei.

However, if it weren't for my dog's nose, they might have succeeded.

"Yes, that girl from Ning Xi said she ate it to see Lu Hao and the civil and military ministers. She shouldn't be wrong. It's a pity that when I was about to kill someone, someone discovered me and injured me."

King Wei nodded slightly and showed his injured arm.

However, his arm has now undergone simple treatment and is no longer bleeding.

Perhaps the bullet was too close and penetrated his arm directly, leaving only two bloody holes.
