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

Chapter 691 Locking Inner Power
"The Sui Empire fought a war with us, killing and wounding 20 soldiers. Later, they tried to cause trouble in the Yunmeng Mountains, but another [-] troops were wiped out. I want to express goodwill to them. Do you think they will accept it?"

Lu Hao asked rhetorically.

"It would be nice if they didn't kill Wei Chen!"

Du Ze replied with a grimace.

"It's good to know, but it's okay to send someone to deliver a message to make Emperor Sui Yang sick!"

Lu Hao said with a wicked smile.

"Your Majesty, let us, the Supervision Department, handle such a small matter as delivering a letter."

Wu Qingyu stood up and volunteered.

"Okay! Then let your Supervisory Department handle it. Remember to warn him in my tone. If he does it again, I will definitely use all possible means to deal with the Great Sui Empire, and even destroy the Great Sui Empire."

Lu Hao readily agreed.

"Your Majesty is wise! The humble minister accepts the decree!"

Wu Qingyu and Du Ze responded loudly.

Lu Hao looked around and his eyes fell on Mr. Liu of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Mr. Liu of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Chinese New Year is coming in a few months. How is your firecracker workshop now? Can it be completed before the Chinese New Year? The ladies in the harem also want to buy some fireworks to increase the New Year atmosphere."

Lu Hao asked loudly.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Wei Chen has already started making arrangements, and it should be completed soon, ensuring that the ladies can have a peaceful New Year."

Mr. Liu responded with a smile.

"Hahaha... Mr. Liu, this company specializes in fireworks and firecrackers. It is a business of the empire. The money earned must still be paid in taxes according to laws and regulations. Do you understand?"

Lu Hao added with a smile.

"My subordinate understands."

Mr. Liu is on the right track.

"Alright, dear friends, I will be practicing in seclusion during this period, and the affairs of the empire will be hard work for you adults."

Lu Hao finally added.

"Your Majesty, your martial arts skills are so high, do you still need to practice hard in seclusion?"

Tantai Mingyue asked in confusion.

"There are people outside the world, and there are mountains outside the mountains, so I can't relax! You don't have to worry, I'm not in seclusion. If something big happens, I will definitely show up."

Lu Hao explained with a smile.

"Follow the emperor's will!"

All the ministers immediately responded in unison.

After the morning session, Lu Hao returned to Chongyang Hall to review some documents that had just been sent and made red pen annotations.

Tantai Xiyao brought Lu Hao the freshly cooked bird's nest with her maid, and watched him drink it with a tender look on her face before leaving with satisfaction.

Not long after leaving, Lu Hao, who was looking at the documents, suddenly felt something was wrong and his internal energy could not function.

"Not good! Poisoned!"

Lu Hao's heart was shocked.

With his current strength, ordinary poisons cannot escape his keen sense of smell, and even if he is poisoned, he can use his internal strength to force all the poison out of the body.

The problem now is that he cannot use his internal energy at all. The internal energy in his dantian seems to be locked alive.

What a magical poison!

I saw him sitting cross-legged, the soul sea instantly activated, running at high speed, and powerful soul power was released.

When the Soul Power looked inside, he found that the poison had built a strong barrier around the Dantian. Not only was it unable to mobilize the internal power, but the Soul Power did not know how to break this door.

In other words, this kind of poison does not poison a person, but locks his internal energy, making it impossible for him to mobilize his internal energy, which is equivalent to wasting his own martial arts.

Didn't Lu Hao know that this poison was administered by Tantai Xiyao?Or did someone else borrow her hand to do it?
"Since the enemy has poisoned himself to block his martial arts, will he send someone to assassinate him?"

Lu Hao's heart was shocked.

"Yi Ruyan, please bring someone to Chongyang Hall immediately."

Lu Hao issued the order from the air.

Yi Ruyan, who was patrolling the palace, heard his voice and immediately led people to Chongyang Palace.Lu Hao released his soul power and immediately discovered Tantai Xiyao, who seemed to have just returned to Qianyuan Palace and was playing with the palace maid.

It can be concluded that the poison was not administered by her, but someone borrowed the poison from her!
Although Lu Hao was poisoned, he didn't panic at all. After all, this was the palace, and he had a pistol. Most people really didn't dare to die.

However, the enemy locked up his internal power, making it impossible to force the poison out of his body. Apparently, there was a bigger conspiracy.

He released his soul power and carefully searched every corner of the palace. Suddenly, he discovered a guy who was absconding.

Although the middle-aged man delivering food seemed to leave the palace normally, how could he escape Lu Hao's soul perception.

With Lu Hao's current soul perception, if it were in a plain area, it would be enough to reach 150 kilometers. How could this guy escape Lu Hao's tracking?

"Information to the Emperor, the ministers are here to report."

Yi Ruyan rushed in with someone and said loudly.

"Ruyan, I have been poisoned. Please don't make any noise. From now on, you must bring someone to protect me."

Lu Hao immediately sent a message from his soul to her.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates understand!"

Yi Ruyan responded immediately.

He immediately arranged for his confidants to protect the entire Chongyang Palace, leaving no opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of him.

Lu Hao used his soul power to follow the guy who left, and found that he entered an inn, and then went upstairs to see a skinny old guy.

"Reporting to Master, the poison has been administered. I wonder if it was successful?"

Middle-aged people report.

He is the eldest disciple of the bloody old man, named Zhou Yi, and he is also a ruthless guy.

"As long as it's what Tantai Xiyao ordered, it should be for Lu Hao."

The blood-poisonous old man said in a deep voice.

"The news is very accurate. My disciple heard it nearby. It is definitely the bird's nest that Tantai Xiyao ordered someone to make. However, I don't know if it was for Lu Hao to eat?"

Zhou Yi recalled carefully.

"It's okay. Is it for Lu Hao to eat? The news will come back soon."

The bloody old man was not in any hurry.

"Why? Does master have any back-up plan?"

Zhou Yi said happily.

"Since Master dares to come, he must have a back-up plan, and there are also secret spies from the empire in the palace. News will be sent out soon."

The bloody old man smiled mysteriously.

When Lu Hao heard this, he felt a thump in his heart, knowing that he had exposed himself to poisoning by mobilizing the imperial guards to protect him.

The most depressing thing is that secret spies from the Sui Empire have actually sneaked into the palace.

Lu Hao's mind just now had been on the middle-aged man who delivered the food. He didn't pay attention to other people at all. Naturally, he didn't find out who the hidden spy was?

Sure enough, in less than a moment, another person entered the bloody old man's room.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Zhou Yi said in surprise.

"Master takes action on his own, how can I not come?"

Zhao Xingyuan responded with a smile.

"Xingyuan, how is the situation now?"

The bloody old man asked coldly.

"Master, Lu Hao has mobilized the imperial guards. It is obvious that he has been poisoned."

Zhao Xingyuan said with a smile.

"Hahaha……"

The bloody old man laughed happily.
