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

Chapter 51
A confession?Doesn’t that mean you are burying yourself in it?
Prince Rui's face was stiff, he begged for mercy with a grimace, and said: "Master Lu, I swear that I will never be an enemy of you in the future!"

swear?Is it okay to deceive children with this thing?

Lu Hao's face darkened and he said coldly: "Prince Rui, I will only give you one chance. If you don't seize it, I will have to send you to the clan mansion!"

Prince Rui's face was ashen, but there was nothing he could do, unless he wanted to seek death himself.

So he finally gave in.

Lu Hao held his confession with a strange smile on his face.

"Prince Rui, we will be friends from now on."

Lu Hao laughed.

friend?Do you have such a friend?

Prince Rui didn't dare to have an attack, but stayed with him with a smile.

"It is my honor to be able to make friends with Mr. Lu!"

"Since we are friends, I will send the prince out personally."

Lu Hao personally escorted him out and bowed, which was enough to give him face.

After this incident, no one in the Ministry of Internal Affairs dared to challenge Lu Hao.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs reorganized it and it was completely new.

Those in charge who had problems were all dismissed and investigated, and those who had no problems were promoted.

After lunch.

Lord Liu came to report that the Prime Minister is here.

This time, Lu Hao did not turn him away and met Yu Qian in the lobby.

"Master Prime Minister, what kind of wind brings you here?"

Lu Hao said with a smile.

"I learned that Eunuch Lu has been promoted, so I am prepared to give you a small gift. Congratulations to Mr. Lu for taking charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Yu Qian walked over slowly and said with a cheerful smile.

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the people behind him presented gifts.

"Your Excellency, I dare not accept your gift."

Lu Hao refused calmly.

"Master Lu, I misunderstood you before, but this time I came here specifically to apologize."

Yu Qian's posture was very low.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, if I accept the bribe, and someone comes to the Emperor to testify against me and accuse me of accepting bribes, it will be troublesome."

Lu Hao joked with a smile.

"Master Lu enforces the law impartially and is fair and strict. He is a model for imperial officials. Anyone who dares to talk to the emperor will not be lenient."

Yu Qian looked upright and said loudly.

"Now that the Prime Minister has said it, I am disrespectful."

Lu Hao reluctantly accepted it.

The maid brought the fragrant tea and the two began to taste it, both waiting for the other person to speak.

"Master Lu, it turns out that I have one more important thing to do today."

Yu Qian put down his cup and said.

"Oh, something important? I don't know what it is?"

Lu Hao asked casually.

"this matter……"

Yu Qian was about to speak but stopped.

Lu Hao waved his hand, and the Yi sisters led the others out.

There were only two people left in the hall.

"Prime Minister, you can tell me what's going on."

Lu Hao asked lazily.

"Master Lu, the truth is here today to tell Master Lu that what happened last night was definitely not my fault."

Yu Qian said straight to the point.

"What happened last night? What happened last night?"

Lu Hao pretended not to know.

"The assassination of Mr. Lu last night was really not my fault."

Yu Qian grimaced and explained again.

Lu Hao frowned slightly, his pupils shrank, and he stared into his eyes.The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Master Lu, although I have a little conflict with you, I will never do such a dirty thing."

Yu Qian behaved upright.

"Is it really just a minor conflict between the Prime Minister and me? Doesn't it mean that the Prime Minister doesn't want to kill me?"

Lu Hao smiled evilly and asked.

Yu Qian was stunned for a moment and smiled awkwardly.

"Cough...cough...if I have any regrets before, I will apologize to you today. I also hope that Mr. Lu will have enough knowledge and not be as knowledgeable as the old minister."

Yu Qian stood up and bowed, lowering his posture again.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, this is serious. I am not a stingy person."

Lu Hao waved his hand and bowed down.

"Old minister, I'm here today. I hope I can settle the old grudges with Mr. Lu and put aside our grudges with a smile!"

"Of course, the most important thing is to tell Mr. Lu that what happened last night was definitely not the fault of the old minister. I hope Mr. Lu will not fall into other people's alienation schemes!"

Yu Qian once again reiterated that the assassination last night was not his fault.

"If it wasn't the Prime Minister who did it, then who wants my life? And who is trying to alienate me?"

Lu Hao seemed to be asking him, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

Looking at Yu Qian's behavior, it seemed that he really wasn't the one who did it.

However, with just a few words from him, Lu Hao was not stupid enough to believe him completely.

"Master Lu, I really don't know about this matter, but being able to assassinate someone in the imperial city and escape smoothly without leaving any clues is definitely not something that ordinary people can do."

Yu Qian analyzed it carefully.

"Are you saying there is a problem with the Royal Guards?"

Lu Hao suddenly realized.

The imperial city and inner city of Yandi City are guarded by [-] city defense troops.

The defenders within the imperial city are called the Imperial City Guards, and the defenders within the inner city are called the Inner City Guards.

Since the Royal Palace Guards are also stationed in the Imperial City, the relationship between the Royal Guards and the Imperial Guards is also good.

The Praetorian Guards were responsible for the security of the palace and the emperor.

The Guards were responsible for the security of the imperial city and the inner city.

If someone dared to ambush so many killers in the imperial city, how could the Guards not know about it?
Even if the generals of the Guards are not involved, at least there are individuals from the Guards who serve as internal agents.

Otherwise, how could there be so many people hiding from the patrols of the guards?
How could he avoid pursuit and leave quietly?

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for informing me!"

Lu Hao felt that what Yu Qian said was reasonable.

However, if you want to investigate among the [-] Guardsmen, it will undoubtedly be like finding a needle in a haystack.

"Mr. Lu, you are very polite. I don't know what happened last night. Is the emperor very angry?"

Yu Qian suddenly asked.

"The emperor was furious when he learned that his slave was assassinated. He has ordered the Ministry of Punishment and the Supervision Department to start an investigation. I believe the truth will be revealed soon."

Lu Hao didn't hide anything.

"Does the emperor also doubt the old minister? The old minister is really unjust. I hope Mr. Lu will clarify it to the emperor!"

Yu Qian finally got to the point.

What he fears most is that the emperor suspects him of sending someone to assassinate him, so he rushes to find Lu Hao to clarify all this.

"The Prime Minister can ask the Emperor to clarify this matter in person. After all, whether this matter was done by the Prime Minister or not cannot be based on your words alone."

Lu Hao didn't give him any face at all.

Old guy, now I know I’m afraid!

"But the emperor doesn't want to see me at all, what should I do?"

Yu Qian said with a bitter face.

In fact, he had already gone to see the emperor, but Murong Yuan did not see him at all.

This was the reason why he lowered his body to look for Lu Hao.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, the Emperor doesn't want to see you, and there's nothing I can do about it!"

Lu Hao spread his hands, looking helpless.

"Master Lu is a popular person around the emperor. He must have a way to help the old minister. As long as Mr. Lu is willing to help, the old minister will definitely reward me generously."

Yu Qian lured him for profit.
