   Chapter 171 Loyal Traitor

  The Prince’s Palace and the Princess’ Palace were built four years ago. The underage princes and princesses lived in the palace, and the mansion outside the palace had to be guarded. This Eunuch Cai was the chief servant of the Second Prince's Mansion that Queen Qiao specially picked out.

   Facts have proved that Queen Qiao's vision of people is not very clever.

   Eunuch Cai was greedy for money by nature, and was bribed by Concubine Meng’s people in private. Big and small matters in the Second Prince's Mansion could not be concealed from Concubine Meng Gui's mother and son.

   The eldest prince and Li Jing died early in the previous life, so Eunuch Cai didn't have time to do anything to betray his master. The most is to spread some news.

   Later, Meng Yunluo also died. The Second Prince's Mansion lost its master. Eunuch Cai was so daring that he even dared to pour money out of the Prince's Mansion, which alarmed the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

  Lu Mingyu was already Empress Lu at that time. Out of some indescribable guilt, she personally investigated the matter, causing Eunuch Cai to be executed.

  These things, she also said to the "horn longbow".

  Li Jing clearly understood the meaning of Lu Mingyu's glance and returned his eyes.

  Would you like to braise or steam, and feel free.

   As a prince, it is not easy to take action against courtiers. It's as easy as the palm of your hand to rectify the hair and lose a servant.

  Lu Mingyu looked back and looked at Eunuch Cai: "How many years has Eunuch Cai been in the mansion?"

Eunuch Cai bent down and replied diligently: "Go back to the concubine and concubine, the prince's mansion was built four years ago, and the servant was selected by the queen to come to the mansion. Thanks to the trust of the queen and the second prince, the servant has always been the second prince. Governor."

  Lu Mingyu twitched the corners of his mouth with a half-smiling smile: "Eunuch Cai is telling me that you are the person of your mother's queen, and you have your mother's backer. I can't help you?"

   Eunuch Cai: "..."

   Ma Wei was caught off guard.

   Eunuch Cai was naturally attracted by Queen Qiao, which was naturally a bit extraordinary. He immediately knelt down and showed his loyalty impassionedly: "The servant used to be loyal to the Empress and Her Royal Highness, but now that the prince and concubine have passed the door, the servant will listen to the prince and concubine, and will not hesitate to go through fire and water."

  Lu Mingyu asked abruptly: "If your mother asks you to report everything in the manor, what will you do?"

   Eunuch Cai: "..."

   This new second prince concubine is really domineering.

Eunuch Cai originally meant to "weigh" the master, but now the cold sweat on his forehead has come down, and he responded cautiously: "The servant is the person of the Highness and the prince and the concubine, and listens to the master. The queen asked the servant. If the master wants the Empress to know, the slave will say it. If the master doesn't want people to know, kill the slave, and the slave will not say a word."

  On the basis of the response at this time, you can see how smart Cai Eunuch is, no wonder he can catch the eyes of Queen Qiao.

  Lu Mingyu did not move, and continued to ask: "If someone offers you a lot of money, let you spread the news of the mansion. How would you deal with it?"

   Eunuch Cai replied without thinking: "The slave will never do anything that betrays the master! Otherwise, the slave will be smashed by the sky and thunder!"

  's face is loyal and sincere, and he can't see the slightest falsification.

   Li Jing was disgusted, his face was silent, his eyes fell on Lu Mingyu's face.

   It's more interesting to watch his prince concubine show off his majesty.

Sure enough, Lu Mingyu pulled out a cold smile and said slowly: "Four years ago, you were selected by the queen mother to be the chief servant of the Second Prince's Mansion. Your Highness has not left the palace, and there is no master in the Prince's Mansion. You, the chief servant, It is very prestige to say one thing in the Fuzhong."

   "Unfortunately, there is no master in the house, and the amount allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is limited. It is not easy for you to scrape oil and water from it."

"After two years of forbearance, you finally got a good opportunity. A servant surnamed Guo found you and gave you a three-entry house. There are maids and servants, beautiful women from a good family, and a sturdy man. Lively boy. All of a sudden you have a yard, a wife, a son."

   "You are working in the mansion during the day, and when you have free time, you change your clothes and go to the house to be a rich and noble man, with a sweet wife and children in your arms. It's a wonderful taste!"

  …

   When he heard the third sentence, Eunuch Cai's expression went wrong.

   Later, Cai Gonggong was sweating like a waterfall on his forehead, and he was extremely horrified.

   This is done very covertly. Every time he disguised himself, he would go. He was tight-lipped and didn't tell anyone. How could the second prince and concubine know?

  Lu Mingyu's bright and sharp eyes stared at Eunuch Cai, who had a pale face: "Who is that Eunuch Guo?"

   Eunuch Cai was stared at and felt chills in his heart, and he subconsciously opened his mouth to deny: "The prince and concubine must have misunderstood, the servants have no private houses, and they don't know any Eunuch Guo. There must be a villain who wants to discredit the servants..."

"Lu Yi," Lu Mingyu said coldly, the tall and dark-skinned Lu Yi walked in from the door: "You lead ten people, leave the house immediately, go to Ping'anfang Yangshu Hutong, find the third family, and Everyone inside brought them over and confronted Eunuch Cai."

  Lu has given orders in a deep voice.

Eunuch Cai was shocked, as if he had been skinned and cramped, and fell to his knees on the ground: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine, spare your life! The servant was obsessed and did something wrong. But the servant has never done anything against the master, in the past two years. , and there is no important news. I beg the prince and concubine to spare your life!"

   All the stewards were shocked by the scene in front of them.

   They had long expected that the second princess, who had just come through the door, would come to dismount.

   But I never expected that the second princess did not squeeze the soft persimmon first, but first hammered the most difficult Eunuch Cai. If you change to another new daughter-in-law, even if you know that the person sent by the mother-in-law has a problem, she will not be so quick to find out.

   Sending an Eunuch Cai is not a big deal. But once it is passed on to the palace, what will the Queen's concubine think? What will the rest of the people think?

   Li Jing, who had never made a sound, his handsome face also sank, and anger flashed in his eyes: "Come here, drag this dog who eats inside and out, and hits 30 boards hard."

   Commander Zuo responded and led two sturdy personal soldiers to drag Eunuch Cai, who was like a dead dog, out.

Eunuch Cai didn't dare to struggle, so he cried out and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, spare your life! The servant was dizzy and deceived for a while, but the servant was only greedy for money, I'm sorry for His Highness, the servant did nothing! For the Queen's sake! Come on, I beg Your Highness to spare the slave's life..."

   "Prince Concubine Empress, spare your life! It's not a pity for a servant to die. If there is a misunderstanding with Empress Empress, what should I do..."

   What a relentless father-in-law Cai.

   It’s time to wait, so don’t forget to challenge.

  Lu Mingyu raised the corner of his mouth coldly and looked at Li Jing: "Thirty boards are too few, let's play sixty boards!"
