Chapter 82: New Backer

"Father..."

"What? Do you still have comments? Do you have to find a fake eunuch in my harem? Or do you want to take care of my harem too?" Xia Jiuyuan interrupted Xia Xingbang's words with angry eyes.

Xia Xingbang knelt on the ground and shouted, "Erchen doesn't dare!"

"If you have nothing to do, just retreat." Xia Jiuyuan also seemed to be a little tired and said.

After retreating, Lu Qian did not stay long.

After returning to the Taimiao, he told Tong Yao that no one came to look for him.

He needed to take care of it.

It's too weird.

Gao Weixin has no reason to help himself at all.

But did he do it again?

Lu Qian was now afraid that this was ordered by the emperor.

If this is the case, then this emperor is terrible.

Just when Lu Qian was puzzled, there was a knock on the door.

Lu Qian said a little irritably, "Didn't I say it? Don't let anyone come and disturb me?"

The door of the room was pushed open, and a familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Father-in-law Lu, his temper is really not small."

The person at the door was Gao Gonggong, Gao Weixin.

Lu Qian hurriedly got up and said, "Lord Steward, why are you here?"

Gao Weixin didn't answer, and after entering the house, he looked at Lu Qian's room.

Lu Qian stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Lord Steward, for raising your noble hand today. The little ones must remember the life-saving grace of the adults."

Seeing this, Gao Weixin turned his head to look at Lu Qian, and sneered, "Do you think I'm helping you?"

Lu Qian looked at Gao Weixin puzzled.

Gao Weixin sat down by himself.

Unceremoniously poured him a cup of tea from the teapot on the table.

After taking a sip, he asked after savoring it

"The reason why you have the courage not to leave is that you are already completely sure that even if Your Majesty knows the identity of your fake eunuch, you can save your life?"

Lu Qian nodded and did not deny it.

Gao Weixin's honesty towards Lu Qian couldn't help but show a hint of appreciation.

"So, I'm not helping you! It's helping His Majesty. If I'm not mistaken, Liu Shangshu and the masters behind the eldest prince are all you."

Lu Qian did not deny it.

Gao Weixin continued, "I guess you should have guessed it too. His Majesty wants to take advantage of this opportunity to suppress the Huo family. Therefore, from a certain point of view, I need to help Your Majesty and let the Huo family make a comeback. And the premise of all this is that you must be a true eunuch!"

After Lu Qian listened, he suddenly became confused.

Everything was pretty much as he thought.

"Then aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will blame you when he finds out?"

Gao Weixin replied with a smile, "You still don't know Your Majesty, if Your Majesty knows your identity as a fake eunuch!" Whatever you do, how important you are to Great Xia! You're dead."

"I see what you're capable of, whether it's a salt refinery or issuing government bonds. The pros of your existence now outweigh the cons! Great Xia needs you now, so that's why I'm helping you! Of course, it's not unconditional for me to help you."

After Lu Qian saw Gao Weixin say this, his hanging heart was put down a little.

He is not afraid that Gao Weixin has conditions, but he is afraid that Gao Weixin will help him unconditionally.

"Grandpa Gao, you said," Lu Qian said with a smile.

Gao Weixin was a little surprised by Lu Qian's attitude, but still said, "That is to secretly help the eighteen princes and help him win the crown prince."

"The Eighteenth Prince? Is that the prince who interceded for me today?" Lu Qian said to Gao Weixin in some surprise.

"Grandpa Lu is really a smart man!" Gao Weixin said.

"Okay, I promise you!" Lu Qian agreed without saying a word.

Gao Weixin was a little surprised and asked Lu Qian, "Don't you want to know why?"

Lu Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Steward, in the palace, your hands and eyes are up to the sky! You should know... I don't really have any ambitions. The people who helped Jingyang Palace at the beginning were completely because they wanted to find a backer... Judging from today's events, this backer is not solid. And the Lord Steward is obviously a better backer, so it doesn't make a difference to me who makes the crown prince!"

Gao Weixin didn't deny it, and said sharply, "It's comfortable to talk to smart people! You still want to support the eldest prince on the surface, what I want is secretly, do you understand?"

Although Lu Qian was curious about the relationship between Gao Weixin and the Eighteen Princes.

However, he is well aware that sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing.

Seeing Lu Qian's readily agreed, Gao Weixin continued, "I'll be honest with you too! If you are harmless to Your Majesty and harmless Yu Daxia, no matter what you do in the harem, I can naturally protect you and ensure that you are safe in this harem! If so, you dare to endanger Great Xia, or when Your Majesty is in danger. I'll get rid of you as soon as I can!"

After listening to Gao Weixin's domineering speech, Lu Qian was secretly cool in his heart, or was this backer reliable.

Hurriedly said, "Grandpa Gao, don't worry, I just want to be a eunuch quietly."

"That's the best!"

Gao Weixin said as he got up and prepared to leave.

Seeing that he was leaving, Lu Qian asked curiously, "Lord Steward, can I ask you something?"

"You're trying to ask me how to convince Hoku, right? He, like you, has a deadly handle in my hand." Gao Weixin said mysteriously.

followed him to the gate of the temple

Gao Weixin suddenly thought of something and asked Lu Qian. "By the way, how did you get past my scrutiny?"

Lu Qian said with an embarrassed face, "If I say, I have amnesia... Don't remember the past, do you believe it?"

Gao Weixin nodded, didn't say anything, and left directly.

Lu Qian couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart.

I thought that the Gao Gong Guild knew something, but from his expression, it seemed that he didn't know either.

The person who got himself into the palace at the beginning was a strange person.

sent Gao Weixin away, not to mention how happy he was in his heart.

What he said just now is very clear, as long as it does not endanger Great Xia and the emperor. He can do whatever he wants in the harem...

"My lord, what makes you so happy?" Tong Yao looked at Lu Qian's smile on his face when he came back, and also stepped forward to ask.

Lu Qian looked at Tong Yao's flushed face and the devil's figure, and suddenly became interested.

The past two days have made him nervous.

"Naturally, it's a good thing! Come... My lord, I have a gift for you." Lu Qian said as he took out a prepared wooden box and said.

This is what he prepared before, and it is the latest corset he designed before, and it is also because of the delay of one thing after another in the past few days.

He used to let Tong Yao wear this corset to serve him in the bath, wouldn't it be a great thing in the world.

"Your Excellency... What is this?"

"Corset, have you heard of it?" Lu Qian said.

After hearing this, Tong Yao said, with a face full of surprise and expectation, "Is it the confidant corset that is prevalent in Kyoto and can only be worn by the ladies of high-ranking officials and nobles?"

The best emperor
