When Zhu Yunye walked in front of Yu Chu, he suddenly stopped and the eunuch following him almost bumped into his back.
The eunuch was frightened and took a step back before asking in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what is this?"
Zhu Yunye ignored the eunuch. He looked back at the closed palace door and said in a low voice, "Send someone to keep an eye on them. I want to know what they do and say every day."
"Yes, Your Majesty." This was not difficult. The eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the Emperor with a smile on his face and said, "The maids and eunuchs here are all slaves. I will give you the orders when you come back."
Zhu Yunye did not expect that the eunuch would say this, so he immediately looked towards him and asked with a straight face: "Are you sure that all the palace maids and eunuchs here will listen to you?"
When the eunuch who was still smiling heard this, the smile on his face disappeared instantly and his entire face turned pale. He is not a fool, and he will not fail to understand the implication of the emperor's words.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty means..." The eunuch's eyes widened suddenly, his legs softened and he slowly knelt down on the ground. He explained in a confused manner: "Your Majesty, slave. I really didn’t know they were so bold and dared to eat everything inside and outside..."
"I know I'm guilty. I'm going to get to the bottom of it now. I'm loyal to the Emperor and I have no second thoughts... I have no second thoughts... Please tell me clearly!"
Of course Zhu Yunye believed in the eunuch's loyalty, otherwise he would not have taken him with him. However, some beating is still necessary.
Since the Lu family dared to ask for vassal status, there was probably someone behind them to back them up. And the two of them live deep in the palace. If no one sends a message to them, how can they contact the people behind them?
Therefore, some of the palace maids and eunuchs around the Lu family must have turned to them.
"Get up." Zhu Yunye glanced at the eunuch kneeling on the ground.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!" After thanking him profusely, the eunuch stood up tremblingly.
It's good to be afraid. Only when you are afraid can you handle this matter carefully... Zhu Yunye chuckled secretly and said in a relaxed manner: "Since you want to check, then you should check carefully to see who is in the palace." External contact, don’t let anyone go.”
"Yes, I promise with my head on my neck that I will get to the bottom of this matter and give you an explanation." The eunuch was also furious. It was a serious crime to secretly communicate with the palace, and now even he was implicated. He was ready to use all means to find out.
The eunuch was able to stand out from all the young eunuchs back then, and he was also a ruthless person. Although he was able to serve as a ceremonial eunuch and serve the emperor, it had a lot to do with him being Zhu Yunye's companion. But to get the opportunity to accompany Zhu Yunye, he didn't know how many people it would take to achieve it.
Zhu Yunye was the legitimate son at the beginning, and everyone knew that he had the greatest possibility of inheriting the throne, and no one else would give up easily.
With the words of the eunuch, Zhu Yunye nodded slightly, then turned and walked towards Yuhu.
"Go back to the palace."
The eunuch did not leave with him. He stood on the spot and bowed to Yu Hu as he left. When Yu Chu's shadow was no longer visible, he straightened up.
In the short time he stood up, the eunuch's whole aura was completely different. He changed his submissive look just now and became like a general giving orders to the entire army.
"Come here!"
With a soft drink, four people immediately knelt down in front of the eunuch.
The eunuch looked at the four of them carefully, then gritted his molars and said word by word: "Have you all heard the military order that our family just issued in front of the emperor?"
The four of them looked at each other, straightened up, held their hands together, and said quickly: "I heard it, little one."
"It's good that you heard it." The eunuch nodded lightly, with a smile on his face: "Then let's talk about the scandal first. If you can handle this matter, you will be rewarded! If you can't handle it well..."
"Before we take our own heads, we will definitely take your heads first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the four of them were trembling all over.
The other eunuchs around were even more eager to bury their heads in their chests.
I didn't dare to listen at all.
"Yes, a small amount of fixed and fatal force!"
The four of them gritted their teeth and replied. Some even bit their lips until blood stained them without even noticing.
"Go and do it." The eunuch waved to the four of them with confidence.
The four people immediately stood up, summoned their subordinates, and headed towards the palace behind.
After Zhu Yunye returned, everything returned to what it was before. But while he was sitting in the Qianqing Palace handling government affairs, he was always thinking about the eunuch's news.
Soon, three days passed.
The eunuch came to Zhu Yunye tremblingly.
Zhu Yunye glanced at the gray-faced and dejected eunuch, put down the memorial and said, "Still haven't found anything?"
The eunuch knelt on the ground and shook his head feebly: "This slave is guilty of death, please be punished by the emperor."
After saying that, he prostrated on the ground, as if he was at the mercy of the emperor.
Although Zhu Yunye was a little disappointed, his dislike of the eunuch had not reached the point where he had to execute him.
After all, the eunuch has been following him for many years and has been serving him wholeheartedly, without any credit or hard work.
"Tell me first, how did you check?" Zhu Yunye thought for a few seconds, then reached out to pick up the ginseng tea and took a sip and asked.
Hearing that there was still a chance for things to turn around, the eunuch immediately straightened up and said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness."
Zhu Yunye stretched out his right hand and waved it slightly, indicating for him to continue explaining how he checked.
The eunuch did not dare to neglect, and quickly told him what he did in detail...
Zhu Yunye frowned after listening carefully. There was nothing wrong with what the eunuch did, and it was even a little fierce, even to the point of death.
However, no useful information could be found out about the dead person, which made Zhu Yunye a little discouraged.
He nodded, looked at the eunuch kneeling in front of him, sighed and said, "Get up, you did your best."
The eunuch indeed tried his best, but failed to find any useful information. He can only say that this matter was beyond his ability, and it was not that he was not careful.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." The eunuch stood up with great gratitude. Until he stood up straight, he felt that his feet were very unsteady.
When he was outside the palace gate just now, he hesitated for a long time, and he thought of all the endings. He even held out hope that the emperor would spare him this time, but he didn't expect that the emperor would spare him so easily.
Thinking of this, he felt extremely guilty for not being able to share the emperor's worries.
Zhu Yunye noticed the eunuch's gnashing of teeth and asked curiously, "What do you have to say?"
The eunuch looked fierce and said: "Your Majesty, there are only dozens of eunuchs and maids in the palace of Concubine Lu. Since the people who cheated are among them, it is better to execute them all to avoid future troubles."
I have to say that people with mental flaws are really ruthless when they initiate cruelty.
