Chapter One Thousand Eight Hundred and Eighty Views
Zhu Yunye glanced at the eunuch, hesitated for a moment and then shook his head.
Killing people is easy, and the lives of dozens of palace maids and eunuchs are nothing to Zhu Yunye. If necessary, he will give orders to the eunuchs without hesitation.
But even if he ordered all those people to be killed, what would happen? This would cut off the connection between the Lu family and her son outside the palace, but they might not have no other options.
"No." Zhu Yunye raised his hand. After a few seconds of pause, he looked at the eunuch again and said, "Monitor everyone closely and report any unusual movements immediately."
"Yes! I will order you to go down now." The eunuch luckily escaped with his life. While he was thankful, he did not dare to neglect and hurriedly went out to make arrangements.
However, for many days in a row, Zhu Yunye did not receive any news. He was originally sitting firmly on Diaoyutai, but he gradually became unable to hold on. His temper became more and more irritable, and he paced back and forth in the Qianqing Palace with his hands behind his back. ??
The eunuch walked to the door of the palace with pauses, and after hesitating for a long time, he mustered up the courage to step in.
Before he could walk in with another foot, Zhu Yunye spotted him.
He immediately got down from Lord Dan and hurriedly shouted to the eunuch, "How is it? Have you found the person who delivered the message for them?"
The eunuch had a sad face to begin with, but after hearing Zhu Yunye's question, his face became even more bitter.
He bit the bullet and replied, "This servant is incompetent and has let the emperor down."
After saying that, the eunuch knelt down straight.
Zhu Yunye's full of expectations disappeared at this moment, and he suddenly stretched out his finger towards the eunuch, "You!"
The eunuch lowered his head to the ground, not even daring to breathe.
Zhu Yunye nodded heavily at the eunuch again and again, and finally his fingers turned into fists and he retracted them while gnashing his teeth.
"Get up and say, what's going on? After so many days, there's nothing strange about them?"
As if the eunuch had been pardoned, he did not dare to stand up immediately.
Hearing the emperor's question, he even said with aggrieved expression, "It's true, your emperor. It's not that I don't try my best, I sent people to keep an eye on everyone, even when they sleep, but"
"But what?" Zhu Yunye frowned. Although he was very disappointed, he had not lost his calm yet.
"But those people never even left the palace gate, and they didn't do anything unusual. I really don't know what to do." As he spoke, the eunuch kept looking at the emperor's expression.
According to his idea, why should we go to such trouble to investigate slowly? Just arrest everyone. Even if they don't kill them, a group of palace maids and eunuchs can cut off the hands and feet of Lu's mother and son.
But Zhu Yunye didn't think so. What he needed now was to find out who was in contact with Lu's mother and son, rather than cutting off the communication channel between them. If all the palace maids and eunuchs were replaced, how could he follow the clues? Find the person behind it?
Seeing the eunuch trembling in front of him and failing to do things well one after another, Zhu Yunye knew that he couldn't be counted on in this matter.
It's not that Zhu Yunye thinks there is a problem with the eunuch's ability. As the chief eunuch in charge of rituals, he still has the ability, and he was very effective in doing things in the past. It's just that in this matter, he is no match for Lu.
It seemed that he had to ask his uncle. Thoughts swirled around and changed, and Zhu Yunye finally made a decision.
He waved his hands towards the eunuch and sighed softly, "I understand, please take the person back."
"Withdraw, withdraw?" The eunuch was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses.
The eunuch could vaguely feel that the emperor had doubts about his ability, and his words were not as close as before. If he, an eunuch, was alienated by the emperor, he would be close to death.
The eunuch hated Lu's mother and son so much that he wanted to kill him!
"Yes, I obey the order." No matter what the eunuch was thinking, he could only agree to the emperor's orders.
But he was unwilling to give in. He kept thinking about how Lu was in contact with people outside the palace. He wanted to atone for his sins!
Zhu Yunye's attention was not on the eunuch, and he left it alone after telling him. Now he was thinking about how to tell his uncle about this matter, because his uncle wanted him to stall for time, waiting for the Lu family and her son to reveal their flaws.
But he was young and energetic, and thought he could take down the Lu mother and son. That's why he went to see the Lu mother and son in person and asked the eunuchs to investigate. But now it turns out that the Lu mother and son are really cunning enough, not only did he let him go without success, but he was young and energetic.
However, even under the strict scrutiny of the eunuchs, he was able to avoid revealing any flaws.
Zhu Yunye was depressed for several days, and finally sneaked out of the palace on a rainy day.
Han Du sat in the pavilion and looked at the drizzle outside.
An Qing, who was opposite, glanced at Han Du with a smile, then lowered his gaze without saying anything.
The maid on the side was tending the small stove, and the orange-red charcoal fire was boiling the water in the kettle until it was steaming.
Han Du happily took a sip of tea, and the maid quickly poured it in again. Just when Han Du was about to open his mouth to speak, the housekeeper trotted over.
The current butler is no longer the fifth uncle. He is too old and has reached the time to enjoy his old age.
Han Du couldn't bear to let an old man work so hard, so he asked his fifth uncle's son to take his place as the housekeeper of the house.
The fifth uncle's son is called Han Lingkun. He has a tall and mighty appearance and good strength. What's even more rare is that, although he looks rough and rough, he manages the affairs of the house in an orderly manner.
"My lord." Han Lingkun came to him and bowed his hands.
A look of helplessness suddenly appeared on Han Du's face. Originally, Han Lingkun was of the same generation as him, and Han Du did not regard himself as superior to him, so he insisted on treating him as a subordinate.
On the contrary, Han Du told Han Lingkun more than once that they should treat each other as brothers.
But Han Lingkun always kept his father's instructions in mind and behaved very well in front of Han Du, not daring to show any slights.
Seeing that Han Lingkun had always gone his own way and refused to change, Han Du had no choice but to let him go.
"What's wrong?" Han Du put down the teacup, smacked it and asked.
Han Lingkun glanced at the maid making tea next to him, pondered for two seconds and then walked forward.
Han Du was slightly surprised when he saw his behavior, and understood that Han Lingkun would not be like this if it wasn't important news.
Sure enough, when Han Lingkun reached his ear, he said in a voice that only two people could hear, "Master, the emperor is here."
After hearing this, Han Du looked at Han Lingkun, feeling a little doubtful that the emperor had come as soon as he came. This was not his first time in the palace, so he shouldn't be so careful, right?
Han Lingkun only had to whisper again, "The emperor is here in civilian clothes." Zhu Yunye glanced at the eunuch, hesitated for a moment and then shook his head.
Killing people is easy, and the lives of dozens of palace maids and eunuchs are nothing to Zhu Yunye. If necessary, he will give orders to the eunuchs without hesitation.
