Who knows, my family members, the host is forced to love again

Chapter 276 'Obedient' Little Eunuch Forced Love 15

Lu Huaiyuan's claim of illness caused quite a stir in the palace.

At the same time, in a slightly remote pond in the imperial garden, a corpse appeared in front of everyone.

The deceased was Eunuch Qin.

Judging from the situation at the scene at that time, the cause of death should be accidental fall into the water.

However, this man had a very bad reputation during his lifetime, and could be considered "notorious".

He bullies others by taking advantage of his power, flatters the powerful and looks down on the weak, often exploits those under him, and even enjoys torturing them.

Over the years, the number of people who died at his hands is too numerous to count on both hands.

But those people were mostly the lowest-ranking palace maids and eunuchs, and their words carried no weight.

Their deaths did not cause any ripples.

Therefore, many people in the palace had heard of Eunuch Qin's bad reputation.

But now that the 'culprit' is dead, many people are secretly happy.

So for a while, this incident caused quite a stir in the palace.

So when the news reached Lu Huaiyuan, he was really surprised.

"Falling into the water?" He looked at Qing Luo beside him, his tone flat and emotionless: "Where did you get this information?"

Qing Luo said, "When I went to the imperial kitchen earlier, I heard someone mention it on the way."

"I also heard that many eunuchs and palace maids were present at the time, and now they are discussing this matter privately."

The art of gossip can be learned without any teacher.

So in just a short while, several versions of the situation at the scene had spread.

But since it involved human lives, the palace servants did not dare to be too presumptuous and could only discuss it secretly.

However, the current result was obviously somewhat beyond Lu Huaiyuan's expectations.

He had indeed been planning to deal with Eunuch Qin, but unexpectedly this unexpected turn of events occurred.

It was really a bargain for him to die like this.

If I had known this would happen, I would not have shown mercy earlier.

Lu Huaiyuan thought so, his eyes moving slightly.

He waved his hand, signaling Qingluo to come forward.

Lu Huaiyuan tilted his head and whispered a few words to him.

Qing Luo was a little surprised, and even his eyes widened a little.

Lu Huaiyuan glanced at him and said, "Do it cleanly, don't let anyone catch you."

Qing Luo nodded slightly: "Yes, I will remember it."

Lu Huaiyuan nodded and then withdrew his body.

Looking at Qingluo's departing back, he couldn't help but lower his eyes.

[Host, do you need me to check this matter? ]

Seeing that Lu Huaiyuan didn't say anything, 2237 asked tentatively.

Ancient times were different from modern times, and its abilities were limited, so it did not know everything.

Some things may still require some effort to investigate.

2237While thinking this, he heard Lu Huaiyuan say.

【Need not. 】

His voice was calm, and one couldn't tell what emotion he was expressing.

[Host, are you worried that someone is behind this?]

2237 couldn't tell what he was thinking, so he spoke again with some uncertainty.

【No. 】

What Lu Huaiyuan said was not false.

After all, after what happened last night, he could guarantee that no one would discover him.

As for the death of Eunuch Qin...

No matter whether it was really an accident or someone took advantage of it, it is certain that he cannot be traced to it.

But what made him suspicious now was something else.

[Er Er, are you sure that in the original plot, the original body was the only one who was reborn, right?]

Lu Huaiyuan asked the system.

2237 didn't expect him to say that, and was stunned for a moment.

【Ah? Yes.】

As soon as the words fell, it suddenly reacted.

[Host, you don't suspect that the mission target is a reborn person, right?]

Lu Huaiyuan did not respond to this.

Any doubts?

That does still exist.

In fact, at the very beginning, he had wondered whether Huai Yanzhi was reborn.

But ever since the two of them met, the mission seemed to be going smoothly.

He hadn't done anything yet, but his darkening value started to drop on its own.

This also led to most of Lu Huaiyuan's doubts being eliminated.

But now that I think about it, there is another possibility.

However, Lu Huaiyuan had no intention of saying these things.

He paused for a moment and then asked the system.

What do you think?

2237 thought about it and answered hesitantly.

【Probably not. 】

[The plot of this small world generally doesn't deviate from the original plot. Furthermore, opportunities like rebirth are rare.]

[The probability of this happening should still be very small.]

2237 spoke to himself.

Lu Huaiyuan was not surprised by its answer.

But having said that, there are exceptions to everything.

The probability is very small, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Thinking of this, Lu Huaiyuan couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

Therefore, whether Huai Yanzhi was reborn is still debatable.

Lu Huaiyuan raised his eyebrows, and a hint of interest appeared in his eyes.

But he suddenly paused for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking of.

Lu Huaiyuan frowned slightly and stretched out his hand to summon the secret guard.

"Siqin, from now on you will stay with Xiaoqi and protect him at all times." He said straight to the point.

Although I can't be sure, if the other party is reborn, I'm afraid I'll be in danger if I want to take revenge.

Lu Huaiyuan was still a little worried about this.

However, after hearing his words, Si Qin did not agree immediately.

He didn't quite understand why Lu Huaiyuan asked him to protect a young eunuch.

But as a secret guard, he had to obey the orders of his master.

Therefore, Si Qin thought for a moment before saying, "Your Highness, my duty is to ensure your safety. I cannot leave."

"But if you want to protect him, you might as well send someone else."

Lu Huaiyuan looked up at him and explained, "Siqin, your martial arts and ability to handle things are far superior to others."

"That's why I send you so that I can feel at ease. Do you understand?"

Si Qin didn't quite understand why Lu Huaiyuan valued Huai Yanzhi.

But since Lu Huaiyuan had already spoken, he agreed.

"Yes, I obey."

Si Qin thought for a moment and asked, "Your Highness, is this protection just simple protection, or...?" There is something else.

Lu Huaiyuan naturally understood what he hadn't said, and immediately said, "It's protection, but also assistance."

"But you must act secretly and don't let him find out."

He paused and continued, "Siqin, you must treat him as another master and make him your priority."

"Whatever he wants to do, you should help him as much as possible."

Lu Huaiyuan: "Unless you encounter something that neither he nor you can resolve, there is no need to report the rest to me."

"do you understand?"

Si Qin was a little surprised by Lu Huaiyuan's words, but still nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I understand."

Lu Huaiyuan knew his character, so he didn't say anything more. Instead, he waved his hand and signaled him to leave.

Because he had to protect Huai Yanzhi, Si Qin handed over the subsequent matters to others after he retreated.

Si Qin left, and his original position was quickly taken by someone else.
