I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

Chapter 156 Eunuch Lu's Selfishness

Eunuch Lu had a very bad feeling.

Although he did not value Biyun, the daughter of an old friend, very much, otherwise he would not have used his power to seduce her to become the emperor's concubine.

Becoming the emperor's concubine seemed like a good thing, but the pain was only known to herself. Moreover, Biyun's identity was not to be mentioned publicly, and the identity of the daughter of a guilty minister could not be easily revealed.

The case of Prime Minister Shen's family was tried under the order of the late emperor himself. There is no way the current emperor would destroy the image of his father's wisdom and bravery for the sake of a little maid.

For an emperor, the most important thing is to maintain the sacred status of the royal family. How could the emperor make a mistake? If the previous emperor made a mistake, does it mean that the current emperor is not that good?

This is something the emperor cannot accept in any way.

Therefore, the only identity she could use was that of a lowly maidservant of Concubine Chun.

Although Liu Zhirou would not really suppress her deliberately, Eunuch Lu himself did not know this. Liu Zhirou could face the intrigues and jealousies in the harem quite calmly. On the one hand, it was because she was a time traveler with broad knowledge and was not confined to the small harem. On the other hand, it was because she stood in a relatively detached position. If she did not want to be a concubine one day, she could just leave and no one would be able to stop her.

Eunuch Lu himself did not know about this matter, but still found a way to make Biyun the emperor's concubine.

This is very intriguing.

Eunuch Lu himself knew that it would be very difficult for Biyun to make a name for herself in the palace with this identity. If she was really favored, not only would she incur the hatred of other concubines, but her former master, Concubine Chun, would never let it go.

Although Concubine Chun looks very timid, everyone's ambition is nurtured. Having lived a life of luxury for so long, Concubine Chun would certainly not tolerate a former maid being in the same class as her.

But that was all for the future. Eunuch Lu gently moved his whisk and sighed. Since he had been castrated, his spirit had been cut off by half. Now the only obsession that supported him to live in the world was to find a way to clear the grievances of his former mentor.

Therefore, before Prime Minister Shen’s injustice is cleared, Biyun cannot lose the emperor’s favor.

So he gritted his teeth and took the initiative to persuade:

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shen has been crying in front of the window recently, claiming that she misses her family."

"Will it affect the healthy development of the child?" The emperor really interpreted cold-bloodedness to the extreme. He did not ask Biyun, who was pregnant and gave birth to a child for him, but only cared about the development of the baby in her belly.

"This...even the imperial doctors can't say for sure." When Eunuch Lu heard what the emperor said, his heart immediately sank.

"What a bunch of trash. Does she have any relatives in the world?" The emperor frowned and asked.

"There is a brother who is still alive. As you know, he is the child of the prostitute that Prime Minister Shen married at the risk of everyone's condemnation." Eunuch Lu was overjoyed. He originally thought that given the emperor's attitude towards Concubine Shen, he would probably not take the initiative to ask about her relatives.

After all, the emperor's attitude towards Concubine Shen, whether in public or in private, was not concealed at all, and it was obvious that he wanted to use her as a breeding machine.

"Is that so? Prime Minister Shen was originally a handsome man, and that famous prostitute was also extremely beautiful. I don't know what the child born to them will look like. Find a reason to summon him into the palace for me to see." The emperor's smile became strange.

"This... Your Majesty, this is not good, right? What if it gets out..." Eunuch Lu was frightened out of his wits by the emperor's words.

He really wanted his mentor's son to catch the emperor's eye as soon as possible, or to get an official position with the help of his sisters, which would be worthy of Prime Minister Shen and allow him to carry on the family line.

But he didn't want Prime Minister Shen's son to become a favorite!

A female and a male, flying into the Purple Palace together, what is this?

Those who use their beauty to serve others are at the bottom of the social ladder even among the flatterers. They should be thankful if they are not infamous for a thousand years, let alone their fame in history! Even if Prime Minister Shen had a noble character and many students, he would inevitably be implicated in the future if he had such a son!

"This is also to appease Concubine Shen so that she won't have wild thoughts. What are you thinking about? Am I that kind of person?" The emperor smiled jokingly, picked up a bunch of memorials, and nodded Eunuch Lu's head.

He saw that Lu Wang was scared into a sweat by his casual words, and his previous inner annoyance unconsciously dissipated a little.

But the worry still lingered in his heart for a long time. After all, delaying it was not a solution to the problem. The current situation was already chaotic enough, and the emperor did not want it to continue to be chaotic.

But he didn't want his descendants to be sacrificed on the altar, his country to suffer a catastrophe because of the so-called love between men and women, and every living soul to become a great puppet in his hands.

For these, he can give up everything, including himself, his children, and his moral bottom line as a human being.
