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

Chapter 889 Who Gains the Most

Su Yifei, who was originally full of interest, suddenly turned red with embarrassment and said coquettishly: "Ignore you! You are so bad!"

"Don't you say that men are not bad and women don't love them?" Lu Hao chuckled.

He leaned over and kissed the beautiful woman. Unexpectedly, Su Yifei put her arms around him and immediately gave her a passionate kiss.

Su Yifei was not a fool, so she naturally saw that the seventh princess was also very interested in Lu Hao.

If it weren't for her status as a princess and the presence of her fiancée, she might have taken the initiative to throw herself into her arms.

Therefore, she is now actually afraid that Lu Hao will be snatched away.

She is just a little woman. She only knows that her fiancé belongs to her, and no other woman can get involved.

Although Lu Hao was flirting with the beautiful woman, the power of his soul was released and locked onto His Highness the Crown Prince.

After all, after this happened, he would definitely go to the palace to meet the King of Zhou.

As long as he follows him, he can find the King of Zhou, which will make it easier for Lu Hao to locate the King of Zhou in the palace and facilitate the next eavesdropping.

……

On the other side, Zhou Jiapeng was attacked by an assassin. Not only did he mobilize the Royal Guards to search for the assassin, but he also immediately went to the palace to see King Zhou to inform him of the assassination tonight.

Of course, such a thing definitely requires witnesses, and the Qin family's father and son had no choice but to follow him into the palace to meet the King of Zhou.

"What? A killer assassinated you? What happened?"

King Zhou Lei was furious and looked at Master Qin who had his head drooped.

"Reporting to your Majesty, tonight I summoned the talents and beauties of Haojing City to hold a poetry meeting at the mansion. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the poetry meeting, the assassin broke through the guards of Shangshu Mansion, sneaked into the mansion and carried out the assassination..."

Master Qin broke into a cold sweat and quickly explained.

"Poetry party? All these useless things? You, the prince, are obsessed with poetry and songs all day long. How can you have the mind to manage the affairs of the dynasty? If my father hadn't told you, what do you think you look like?"

The King of Zhou glared at the prince and scolded him coldly.

"My father taught me that when I go to poetry gatherings, my sons and ministers are just condescending and recruiting talented people."

His Royal Highness has obviously already thought of his words.

"Oh! Recruiting talents? Who did you recruit? Are you here to fool me again?"

King Zhou asked coldly.

"Absolutely not. This man's name is Lu Yi. He has great martial arts skills. If he hadn't repelled those assassins tonight, I would have been killed long ago!"

His Royal Highness had no choice but to move Lu Hao out.

"Excellent martial arts? How high can it be? Didn't I send you many masters?"

The King of Zhou didn't take it to heart at all.

"I would like to report to my father, the martial arts that this person practices is sound attack. He blocked the group of assassins with just a guqin. His martial arts has reached a state of perfection..."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince quickly explained.

"Okay, let's not talk about him for now. Since there are so many assassins, have you caught any of them?"

King Zhou interrupted him and asked in a deep voice.

Although the prince is naughty, he is still the crown prince of Zhou Dynasty. Now that someone dares to assassinate the crown prince, this matter must be investigated strictly.

"My minister has sent out the guards of the Shangshu Mansion, the Imperial Guards and the City Defense Army. Once anyone is caught alive, they will be sent to the palace immediately."

His Royal Highness reportedly replied.

"You dare to assassinate the prince. You are so bold. We must investigate to the end! Someone, please inform the Minister of Punishment and the Prime Minister!"

The King of Zhou looked uncertain and gave orders loudly.

The two personal eunuchs took the order and quietly retreated.

"Tell me, have you offended anyone during this time?" King Zhou looked at His Royal Highness and asked loudly.

"My son has been investigating the empire's spies during this period and has never offended anyone."

His Royal Highness thought carefully and replied.

"Since you haven't offended anyone, what's going on? Who wants your life?"

King Zhou said to himself.

"Father, my son feels that he is dead. Whoever benefits the most is the one who is behind it!"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince responded in a deep voice.

“Who benefits the most?”

A glimmer of light flashed in King Zhou's eyes, then disappeared.

"However, this matter is a serious matter and we must not make any conclusions without evidence!"

Instead, the King of Zhou explained.

"My son understands."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded slightly.

He did suspect that several brothers were trying to assassinate him, but now that there was no evidence at all, it was naturally impossible to talk nonsense, lest it cause shock to both the government and the public.

In fact, the assassination of the prince was already a major event that shook the foundation of the country.

Otherwise, King Zhou would not be so angry. After all, now that he can assassinate the prince, will he be the next one?

When the Prime Minister learned of the news, he immediately went to the palace overnight to discuss countermeasures. After the Minister of Punishment learned of the news, he immediately mobilized manpower to capture the assassin.

The remaining veterans learned of this situation and hurried over even though they were not summoned by the King of Zhou.

After Lu Hao released his soul power, he followed His Highness the Crown Prince and instantly locked onto the King of Zhou. He was overjoyed.

As long as the King of Zhou is locked, the next thing will be much easier to handle.

However, he was now more interested in this assassin, so he released his soul power and found that these assassins had escaped from Haojing City.

It was obvious that these assassins came and went freely, and someone must have helped them to leave the imperial city unharmed.

But who is really helping them?
Lu Hao was also full of curiosity now. Who wanted to kill His Highness the Crown Prince?

On this side of the palace, Prime Minister Yuan Minglang has arrived.

"Your Highness, I heard that you were assassinated and I was almost scared to death. Now that you are safe and sound, I feel relieved."

Yuan Minglang first looked at His Highness the Crown Prince, his face full of worry and genuine emotion.

"Thanks to my father, Wang Hongfu, the assassin didn't succeed, which makes the Prime Minister worried. I'm really sorry."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said hypocritically.

He knew that this old fox was happy but not in color, so it was really hard for him to show off so hard today.

"Your Majesty, if someone dares to assassinate the crown prince, he must be investigated and dealt with strictly to serve as a warning. Otherwise, the government will be weakened and it will be detrimental to the country!"

Yuan Minglang turned to look at King Zhou and spoke loudly.

"I naturally know that this incident has a negative impact, but the assassin has not been caught yet, and there is no way to investigate it. I wonder if Aiqing can do anything?"

King Zhou asked.

"Since someone pays to kill someone, there must be a certain connection between the assassin and the main messenger, or there must be a certain connection through an intermediary. Therefore, it does not seem to be difficult to investigate this..."

"Since the assassins escaped in the heavily guarded Haojing City, they must have an insider. Otherwise, they would not be able to come and go freely. We just need to see where they fled to? After investigating the soldiers guarding the city tonight, it should be There are some clues.”

The Prime Minister is indeed an old fox. He can still think of a way to assassinate someone so rigorously.
