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

Chapter 9
"I still have a lot of memorials to review. I will be free in a few days. I will go over to see you and Heng'er."

Murong Yuan quickly excused himself.

"Your Majesty, the same goes for those ministers. Why are you giving so many excuses? Your body is exhausted!"

Concubine Hua pouted, her face full of resentment.

"Your Majesty, if you have a rare opportunity today, please go over and accompany Yuehua and Yao'er."

The Queen Mother also spoke.

There is no way, this niece is her younger brother's daughter, and she is also the one she loves most.

Logically speaking, Shangguan Yuehua and Murong Yuan are cousins, but there seems to be no such thing in this world as saying that close relatives cannot get married.

On the contrary, I feel that this is a closer kiss.

"There is no rush in reviewing the memorial. Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Ai family will carefully consider what you said and will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

The Empress Dowager had something to say.

When Murong Yuan heard her soft words, he felt happy and agreed decisively: "Okay then, I will go to Huaqing Palace."

"The emperor drives Huaqing Palace!"

Following Eunuch Hai's duck call, everyone left Cining Palace.

Along the way, Murong Yuan talked and laughed with Concubine Hua, but he was extremely worried.

Eunuch Hai seemed to have received some instructions and quietly pulled Lu Hao to give him some instructions.

When everyone arrived at Huaqing Palace, it was getting late.

After the fine wine and delicacies were served, Concubine Hua retreated from everyone, leaving only her personal maids Lan Xin and Eunuch Hai to serve them.

On the other side, the Queen Mother urgently summoned her younger brother Shangguan Cheng to discuss countermeasures.

"I am here to meet the Empress Dowager!"

Shangguan Cheng bowed and saluted.

"Okay, there are no outsiders, no need to see outsiders!"

The Queen Mother waved her hand and motioned for him to come forward and speak.

Shangguan Cheng smiled in relief, walked slowly to his sister, and sat down.

"I wonder why the Queen Mother summoned me to the palace in such a hurry?"

Shangguan Cheng asked straight to the point.

"The emperor came to see the Yi family again today. He wants you to hand over your position as commander of the Imperial Guard."

The Queen Mother did not hide it either.

"Why? Did I do something wrong? Or maybe the emperor suspects that I have second thoughts?"

Shangguan Cheng frowned slightly.

"I guess the emperor has noticed something? That's why he is so eager to take back control of the Imperial Guard."

The Queen Mother said solemnly.

"It shouldn't be... no way. My sister asked me to send a letter to... last time. The matter was very confidential. Could it be that..."

Shangguan Cheng was puzzled.

Previously, it was reported in the palace that Emperor Nan Zheng had injured his vitals.

The Empress Dowager was worried that something might happen to the emperor, so she asked Shangguan Cheng to send someone to contact Murong Hong to see if he had any plans to return to the imperial capital?
In fact, it is just a backup plan.

"Did you leave any clues? Did the emperor smell danger?"

Shangguan Cheng was still recalling the whole thing, looking for any flaws.

"Your Majesty must not have obtained any evidence, otherwise you wouldn't be so polite to the Ai family, and you would have been thrown into the sky prison long ago." The Queen Mother shook her head and said decisively.

"Then what do we do now?"

Shangguan Cheng asked.

"I'm here to discuss this with you."

The Queen Mother was also helpless.

"Is the Emperor really determined? Isn't there any relaxation? Otherwise, I will talk to him personally. After all, I am his uncle."

Shangguan Cheng probed.

"I'm his biological mother. We haven't even reached an agreement yet, so it's useless for you to find him."

The Queen Mother was a little bitter.

Both fell silent.

"Did the Emperor say who will take over my position as commander?"

Shangguan Cheng asked.

"I didn't say it, but he must be someone he trusts!"

The Queen Mother responded.

Shangguan Cheng thought for a moment and said: "Sister, do you think this is okay? You first ask the emperor who will replace me? We will find a way."

"You mean...even the person who succeeds you must be one of ours?"

The Queen Mother was not stupid and understood instantly.

"The Emperor is determined to take back power. We cannot stop him, otherwise it will be rebellion. The people who can succeed me now have the ability and reputation to reach only a few people. As long as we..."

Shangguan Cheng did not continue.

The Empress Dowager rolled her eyes and nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with his words.

……

Huaqing Palace is brilliantly lit.

After changing glasses, after three drinks, Concubine Hua was already drunk.

The personal maid helped Concubine Hua to the bed and quietly followed Eunuch Hai out.

Crunch!

Murong Yuan pushed open the back window of the room.

Lu Hao turned over and entered the room.

"Hmph...quick victory!"

With a dark face, Murong Yuan extinguished the extra lights, leaving only the only light in the corner.

Quick fight?

How can such a matter be resolved quickly?
Wouldn't it make me lose face to make a quick decision?
Fortunately, this time, Murong Yuan did not stay to watch, but walked to another room.

Under the dim light, the drunken Concubine Hua was twisting around on the bed.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty... my concubine... wants to... serve you!"

Concubine Hua murmured to herself.

Lu Hao climbed onto the phoenix bed and looked at the charming and stunning beauty on the bed, and suddenly felt a rush of heat.
