Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1654: You are limited to five days, only five days.

Lu Mingyu and Chang Sun Tao stopped talking.

Changsun Tao asked: "What's going on? How did Chen Shaoyou's letter come in?"

Ah Liu explained the cause and effect: "Master, Chen Shaoyou's biological mother was a concubine of the Chen Mansion. Before she sold herself into the Mansion as a concubine, she had a sister."

"The two sisters were sold/as slaves together, but one entered the palace and the other entered the Chen Mansion."

"Originally we lost contact, but as Chen Shaoyou grew older and gained his own power, he got in touch with this aunt."

"Chen Shaoyou's aunt is now on duty in the palace and has taken the position of the general manager of the Imperial Palace Bureau."

"It was she who provided convenience for Chen Shaoyou and sent the letter to Princess Jin Huai. The initial encounter between Princess Jin Huai and Chen Shaoyou was also the work of this aunt."

Changsun Tao was silent for a moment and said: "This can explain it. The director of the Imperial Palace has been in the palace for many years, and his familiarity with the palace is definitely as good as any other master in the palace."

"And she must have useful people under her. It's not difficult to deliver a letter. Even if she does something more difficult than delivering a letter, she can still do it without anyone noticing."

Lu Mingyu said: "I believe there are many people like the director of the Royal Palace Bureau in the palace. These old people are easy to use, but if they have different intentions, it is also very dangerous."

Changsun Tao pondered for a long time, and then said: "These old people in the palace, those who are dishonest, those who cheat, those who deceive others, those who betray the Lord and are ungrateful, should all be punished."

Lu Mingyu said: "How about taking advantage of this opportunity and going to war?"

Changsun Tao nodded: "The matter regarding Concubine Liu can be regarded as a blow to the people in the palace. It is just right to strike while the iron is hot."

Lu Mingyu immediately gave the order: "Lu Yi, please pass on this palace's oral instructions and ask Manager Xu to come to Zichen Palace. I want to see her."

Lu Yi went to do it immediately.

Changsun Tao ordered Ah Liu: "Clean up all the channels for Chen Shaoyou to contact the palace. I think he is a talented person, so I will keep him alive. If he is still restless, just end it directly."

Ah Liu took the order and went down.

The couple chatted while waiting for Manager Xu.

After a while, Lu Yi came with Chen Shaoyou's aunt, Manager Xu.

When Manager Xu saw that the emperor and empress were there, her heart skipped a beat, but she had been on duty in the palace for many years and had never seen any big scenes.

Those who have climbed to this position must be very courageous.

She walked over pretending to be calm and bowed down Yingying: "Greetings to Your Majesty, long blessings to you, Your Majesty."

Lu Mingyu sat leisurely. She did not respond in a hurry. She slowly picked up the tea cup, opened the lid and took a sip.

She asked: "Are you going to admit it now, or will you admit it after I put the personal and material evidence in front of you?"

Manager Xu raised her eyes and glanced at Chang Sun Tao beside her. Seeing Chang Sun Tao sitting silently, she quickly lowered her head.After only a few moments of thinking, she knelt on the ground and said, "I know I was wrong."

Yes, she admitted it.

Recognition is straightforward.

Because when she saw this battle, she knew that what she had done had been exposed.

Instead of taking chances and trying to defend herself, it would be better to sincerely admit her mistake and maybe get a lighter sentence. This is the truth that she only understood after struggling in the palace.

The most important thing is that His Majesty and the Empress summoned her privately instead of letting the Qilin Guard go directly to get her with the decree, which shows that there is still room for change in the matter.

If she couldn't even see this, she wouldn't be sitting in this position at such a young age.

Seeing that Mr. Xu didn't need to bother her, Lu Mingyu was satisfied, so she slowly put down the teacup and asked, "Tell me where you went wrong."

Manager Xu was frightened: "I should not contact the outside world in private. I know my mistake, please punish me."

Lu Mingyu asked: "Did you know that the princess violated the palace rules, which is a serious crime of quarrel and annihilation of the clan?"

Manager Xu looked sincere: "I know my mistake and am willing to bear all the consequences. Please punish me."

Her attitude means that even if Lu Mingyu and the others are really angry, they will only punish her according to their original thoughts, instead of aggravating the punishment just because they are more angry.

Not only does it save the master worry, but it also saves the master effort.

Seeing that she was so sensible, Lu Mingyu saved some trouble, so she got straight to the point:
"Now there is a chance to make a difference. If done well, I may spare Chen Shaoyou's life."

"If you don't do it right, not only will you be dead, but your Xu family's only bloodline, Chen Shaoyou, will also be imprisoned because of it. Do you understand?"

Manager Xu hurriedly expressed his thanks: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty! I will do my best and never let Your Majesty and Your Majesty down."

Lu Mingyu said: "You have been in the palace for so many years and are familiar with all the affairs in the palace."

"You are the youngest director of the Royal Bureau in the history of Great Qin, and I can trust that you are quite capable."

"So now I want you to sort out the intricate relationships in this palace and hand them to me."

"From the masters in the palace to the lowest maids and chamberlains, I need to be clear about everything, but it must be concise and clear."

"I have my own way of knowing, but it will take some time. Don't try to fool me. Do you understand?"

Manager Xu responded gratefully: "I understand."

Lu Mingyu said quietly: "You are limited to five days, only five days. If you exceed the time limit, don't blame me for being rude."
