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

Chapter 916 A few petty thieves

"Owner……"

Dugu Sword Master bowed respectfully.

"Did you see that house in front? What I want is inside..."

Lu Hao looked at the mansion in the distance and explained in detail.

His order to Dugu Sword Master was that after nine o'clock tomorrow morning, when Tantai Mingyue went to Chongyang Hall to preside over the cabinet meeting, Dugu Sword Master would steal the crystal skull and the secret book.

Of course, it was best to make some noise when leaving. In this case, Lu Hao would be able to prove his alibi when he was discussing state affairs with ministers in the palace, and Tantai Mingyue would not doubt him.

Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous!

Since Lu Hao has listed Tantai Mingyue as his enemy, he will naturally not be polite to her, and he also wants to kill the minions trained by Tantai Mingyue.

After all, Tantai Mingyue controlled the communication system of the Chinese Empire with the help of her soul crystal ball, and then also installed many of her own people.

As for how many people she controls?In other words, how many soul slaves do you control?Lu Hao needs to continue investigating.

The sky was getting slightly brighter, and Lu Hao also deliberately woke up Tantai Xiyao.

"Your Majesty, it's such a cold day, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Tantai Xiyao nestled in his arms, squinting her eyes and saying coquettishly.

"I want to visit Hengyang City in a while. You are pregnant with the child, so just sleep a little longer."

Lu Hao responded with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you have worked so hard and I can't help you, so why don't you let me change your clothes?"

Tantai Xiyao is as tender as water.

"No, you can sleep a little longer."

Lu Hao held her down.

Since the emperor did not allow her to serve, Tantai Xiyao did not insist too much.

After breakfast, the snow became heavier and heavier. Although it was freezing cold, it could not hide the mood of the concubines in the harem who went out to enjoy the snow.

Many eunuchs and maids from the palace, as well as several concubines from the harem, also appeared in the garden to enjoy the snow scenery.

Lu Hao walked slowly towards Chongyang Palace. Several cabinet ministers headed by Tantai Xiyao had already arrived.

"Meet the emperor!"

Tantai Mingyue and others quickly bowed and saluted.

"My dear friends, the weather is very good today. Let's finish the business at hand. How about we go to the back garden to enjoy the snow in a while?"

Lu Hao said with a smile.

"Follow the emperor's will."

All the ministers responded.

Since the emperor gave the order, the cabinet ministers immediately took action.

At the same time, Dugu Sword Master also sneaked into the small attic under the cover of heavy snow, and soon found the trap and secret compartment according to the method Lu Hao said.

The secret compartment was opened. In addition to the crystal skull and a secret book, there was also a roster. Dugu Sword Master felt that this thing should be important, so he immediately took it away with him.

After a moment, an alarm sounded in Tantai Mansion, and guards screamed everywhere to catch the assassin.

When Huangfu Qingyun learned that the assassin had entered the house, he hurried towards the small attic. When he saw the mess inside, he trembled with fear.

"Hurry into the palace and report to Master Tantai that there is an assassin in the house!"

Huangfu Qingyun panicked and quickly ordered to notify Tantai Mingyue.

Soon, the news spread to the palace.

"What? There's an assassin in the house?"

Tantai Mingyue was shocked and felt vaguely uneasy in her heart.

"Assassin? Who dares to assassinate my minister? Has the assassin been caught?"

Lu Hao suddenly became furious.

"Reporting to the Emperor, there was only news from outside the palace that an assassin had appeared in Tantai Mansion. As for whether he was caught or not, he did not say anything."

The Imperial Guards responded quickly. "Send out the Imperial Guard immediately and search the entire city. The assassin must be caught!"

Lu Hao ordered loudly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The Imperial Guard sent the order.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen wants to go back and have a look."

Tantai Mingyue said loudly.

"Okay, I agree, you go."

Lu Hao readily agreed.

Tantai Mingyue did not dare to delay, and immediately hurried back to the mansion and went straight to the attic.

When she saw the messy attic, she was completely dumbfounded!

The crystal skull and secret book were stolen, so there was not much harm, but the list was the most important thing. Once it fell into the hands of the emperor, it would be completely ruined.

"Why is this happening? Where are the guards in the mansion? What do they do for food?"

Tantai Mingyue was so angry that she was shaking all over.

"The person who came was very skilled in martial arts and triggered the trap. When we chased him out, we lost our way due to the heavy snow."

Huangfu Qingyun responded with a grimace.

"Deploy the Phantom Guards immediately and secretly track the thief's traces. We must recover the things!"

Tantai Mingyue ordered coldly.

"Understood!"

Huangfu Qingyun quickly turned around and left.

Tantai Mingyue began to inspect the scene, hoping to find some clues. Unexpectedly, the person who came was very skilled in martial arts, and there were not many flaws left at all.

Masters like Dugu Sword Master would never have been discovered if Lu Hao hadn't instructed him to touch the mechanism.

However, who dares to come to Tantai Mansion to steal things?
Could it be that the emperor was behind this?

Tantai Mingyue was a little suspicious of Lu Hao, but the emperor valued her so much now, how could he send someone to steal this list?
In her opinion, this was definitely for this list, because the crystal skull just arrived last night, so the news should not be leaked.

However, if you dare to come to her mansion to steal this list, then who knows this list?
If anyone knew the list, the list of people she controlled would have been leaked.

If the emperor knew about this list again, her plans and layout would probably be completely ruined.

When Tantai Mingyue thought of this, she was so frightened that she broke out in cold sweat. She immediately rushed into the palace to see the emperor. She wanted to see if Lu Hao had done something?

"Back to Mr. Tantai, the emperor and the ministers went to the back garden to enjoy the snow. Do you want to go too?"

A palace maid replied.

"With such snowy scenery, of course I have to go see it."

Tantai Mingyue headed towards the back garden.

At this moment, Lu Hao, along with the cabinet ministers and concubines, were enjoying the snow in the back garden, as if nothing had happened.

Although Qiudie only entered the palace yesterday, she mingled with the sisters today and had a snowball fight with several palace ladies.

On a whim, Lu Hao also joined the fighting group, and everyone started having fun, while the cabinet ministers laughed non-stop.

Tantai Mingyue saw Lu Hao and others joking and playing from a distance, and her uneasy heart slowly let go.

Lu Hao and others noticed Tantai Mingyue coming and immediately asked loudly: "Master Tantai, what happened in the house? Has the assassin been caught?"

"Replying to the Emperor, he is not an assassin, he is just an ordinary little thief, nothing serious."

Tantai Mingyue responded with a smile.

"As long as it's nothing serious, it's Chinese New Year soon. It's normal for a few petty thieves to come in. However, the Ministry of Punishment still needs to send people to investigate this matter. Once caught, it must be severely punished!"

Lu Hao looked at Mr. Zhang Zhongwei, the Minister of Punishment.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. We have sent people to investigate and try to give Mr. Tantai an explanation as soon as possible."

Zhang Zhongwei, the Minister of Punishment, responded loudly.
