Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1599: Scare them

As Lu Mingyu expected, as soon as she had a simple meal, the concubines from the palace came to see her.

Lu Mingyu didn't even need to give orders, Lu Yi went out to deal with these concubines.

Lu Yi really has a way of doing things. Because she grew up in a deep palace, she is very familiar with the human relationships and intrigues in the palace.

In a few seconds, the concubines who insisted on seeing Lu Mingyu were sent away without any complaints from the concubines.

When she came in, Lu Mingyu saw her calm appearance and couldn't help teasing: "Are all the concubines afraid of you? It was solved so quickly."

Lu Yi smiled and said: "This servant relies on the power of the empress."

Lu Mingyu chuckled: "You can't say this, lest others laugh at you."

Lu Yi said: "I am now the eldest palace maid by your side. Let alone the concubine who has lost her power. Even if there are concubines in the palace, I have to give you some respect."

Lu Mingyu said: "The people around me should be like this. It doesn't matter if you are arrogant. Anyway, I will protect you."

Lu Yi covered her lips and smiled, and then said solemnly: "My queen, please stop joking, formality is important."

Lu Mingyu said: "Are you referring to the little thoughts of these concubines?"

Lu Yi nodded: "My Lady, since you last proposed to let the concubines manage the internal affairs of the harem, these concubines who have fallen from power have regained power in their hands."

"I am afraid that I have received a lot of benefits during this period, and I will definitely not let go of power so easily. These people are very smart. On the surface, they are here to discuss when the power of managing the harem will be returned to you." "But I can be sure, After all their talk, they will definitely come up with the idea that you are pregnant and not too young, so you shouldn't be too overworked."

"They must be under the guise of helping you and letting you rest in peace while waiting for childbirth. Please let them continue to help manage the harem. They must be thinking that they can hold the power for a while longer."

Lu Mingyu blinked, took a sip of tea slowly, and then asked: "How come my sister Lu Yi, who has always been calm, is made nervous by a few concubines?"

Lu Yi curled her lips and said, "Your Majesty, I know very well the faces of these women in the palace. In the past, when I served your Majesty's biological mother, I know all about the little tricks these concubines did."

"If you don't take back your power as soon as possible, they will have to rely on it for a while, and it will be longer in the future. If you take it back forcefully, it will look like bullying. If you don't take it back, you don't want to do anything. Your Majesty can't just take care of the trivial matters of the harem."

Lu Mingyu put down the tea cup: "Lu Yi, don't worry yet, this is not difficult."

Lu Yi's eyes widened slightly in curiosity: "Hey, does your Majesty have an idea?"

Lu Mingyu said: "You only need to pass on two words."

Lu Yi listened carefully: "My dear, please speak."

Lu Mingyu lowered his voice and said: "You have people spread the words 'imperial mausoleum' and 'prayer'. When I see the inner and outer women, they will naturally come to me obediently." After speaking, Lu Mingyu showed a hint of cunning. smile.

A pair of big eyes seemed to be filled with light, shining brightly.

Lu Yi suddenly realized: "I understand, I just need to spread these two words, and the palace people will spread the rumors."

"When word of it reaches their ears, it will become clear that the empress may propose to His Majesty that the concubines be sent to guard the imperial mausoleum for Emperor Jiayou, or that the concubines be sent to a nunnery for repairs."

"Although the concubines have lost their power, they still have a salary to support them, and the imperial government will not treat them badly. They will have food and clothing for ten thousand years, and there is no need to worry about pension issues."

"However, if you go to guard the imperial mausoleum or repair it, it is a hard job, and you will be lonely and desolate in your later years. They will definitely not want to go."

Lu Mingyu nodded: "Of course, they will come to please me when the time comes, because there are precedents for the concubine to collect the imperial tomb or go to the Taoist temple to clean up. They don't dare to take risks."

"Compared with the little power in their hands, I think they want to live a comfortable life in the palace. Whether their life is comfortable or not depends on me, the master of the harem, and they know the importance."

Lu Yi immediately agreed: "If I know this, I will definitely do it beautifully."

Lu Mingyu said: "I can rest assured that you will do the work."

Lu Yi smiled and then said nothing.

Lu Mingyu suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Are you worried?"

Lu Yi nodded: "There is something that I don't know whether to tell you or not. I'm afraid you won't feel well if I tell you. But if I don't tell you, you will know sooner or later."

Lu Mingyu asked: "What's the matter?"

Lu Yi took a deep breath, and then said: "Your Majesty, Princess Fu is ill."

Lu Mingyu quickly asked her: "Is it serious?"

Lu Yi nodded: "I have already inquired clearly. First, the cold was not cured, and then I caught a cold, which suddenly became serious."

Lu Mingyu said: "First of all, I would like to ask my master to take some time out of his busy schedule to go there. King Fu and his wife are very kind to Zhaohua. As a junior, I hope that they and his wife will be healthy and safe."

Lu Yi said: "My queen, you only care about Princess Fu's body. Don't you think about the possible consequences of this matter?"
