The eunuch in the cold palace: You get the Nine Yang Divine Skill right from the start!

Xiao Guizi stopped moving, turned his head and saw who it was, then quickly withdrew his hand and stood still.

Chu Feng was no longer as arrogant as before; like a child who had done something wrong, he lowered his head and said:

"aunt!"

The newcomer was none other than the late emperor's daughter, and the current emperor's only younger sister.

Princess Chu Leyao.

"Don't call me aunt. I don't have a nephew as disrespectful as you."

Chu Leyao's face was as cold as frost, but her eyes were almost spitting fire.

If Wu De hadn't sent someone to inform the Empress, and she hadn't bumped into him on the way, only to find out after questioning him that Chu Feng was about to do this treasonous thing again.

Chu Feng lowered his head, not daring to refute.

The person he feared most, besides his mother and father, was this aunt. He had been beaten by her since he was a toddler and grew up, and he would always avoid her whenever he bumped into her.

"Get out of here now!"

Chu Leyao gave a cold shout, and Chu Feng shuddered, quickening his pace to leave.

As he passed by, Chu Leyao, exasperated, kicked him hard in the butt.

Xiao Guizi wanted to stop her, but after noticing the unfathomable eunuch beside Chu Yao, he quickly lowered his head and pretended not to see him.

"Ouch!"

Chu Feng was kicked to the ground, and after getting up in a sorry state, he practically ran away.

Until they were far away.

He turned around and glared fiercely at Chu Leyao, his gaze filled with hatred and a hint of lust.

Chu Leyao was completely unaware; her attention was entirely focused on the little eunuch who was on the verge of death. For some reason, she felt that his figure was somewhat familiar.

Shen Mo's consciousness was gradually fading, and he didn't know exactly what had happened. He only knew that the Fourth Prince had left and Ning'er had escaped a calamity.

"Ning'er, I... I behaved... I guess I was a decent man?"

"Yes! You are the true man I admire!"

Ning'er was already crying her eyes out, nodding through her tears.

Shen Mo felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and was completely relieved. Then, everything went black, and he fainted.

"Your Highness, I beg you to grant me a Hundred Herbs Elixir for Overcoming Calamity!"

Ning'er knelt down before Chu Leyao, kowtowing repeatedly.

She had already given Shen Mo healing pills, but with such severe injuries, ordinary healing pills were completely useless.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan also knelt down and pleaded, "Your Highness, Xiao Mozi was seriously injured while protecting us. Please grant us the medicine; my Liu family is willing to pay any price!"

"you....."

Chu Leyao was filled with disbelief. She never expected that Liu Ruyan would kneel down to her for a mere eunuch. Back when Liu Ruyan was banished to the Cold Palace, she never uttered a single word of begging for mercy or admitting her mistakes to the emperor.

The eunuch beside him whispered a reminder: "The Hundred Herbs Salvation Pill is a royal medicine for healing injuries. Even you only have one ration per year. If..."

"No need for further words, I admire this young eunuch's loyalty."

Chu Leyao interrupted her attendant and took out a white jade porcelain bottle from her bosom.

Ning'er quickly took it, uncorked it, poured out the pill, and fed it to Shen Mo as quickly as possible.

"Thank you, Princess."

Liu Ruyan stood up and breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that with this pill, Shen Mo's life was safe and he could even make further progress in martial arts.

Chu Leyao shook her head, her gaze suddenly drawn to a hairpin in Ning'er's hair, and asked curiously, "Where did this hairpin come from?"

"this......"

Liu Ruyan was still hesitating whether to speak or not when Ning'er explained, "Your Highness, this hairpin was given to me by Xiao Mozi."

Chu Leyao suddenly realized, and a mysterious smile appeared on her lips.

"I see."

.......

Shen Mo suddenly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Uncle Yang's old face.

Yang Fugui smiled faintly and said, "Awake?"

"Uncle Yang? How long have I been unconscious?"

Shen Mo sensed it and found that the hidden injuries caused by the internal force had completely disappeared, and his qi and blood had even improved significantly.

Ok?

Refined to the eighth level?

"You slept for three days and three nights, much faster than I expected. Besides the Hundred Herbs Crossing the Calamity Pill, it's also related to the mysterious internal energy cultivation technique you practiced."

Yang Fugui paused, then said with emotion, "I was out of the palace on personal business when I came back and found out how badly you were injured, and you looked like you weren't going to make it."

"If I can't hold on, won't there be no one to take care of Uncle Yang?"

Shen Mo joked with a smile, but Yang Fugui said with a serious expression, "If that's the case, I will make the Fourth Prince disappear from the world and then leave the palace to live a life of wandering in the martial world."

"Uncle Yang..."

Shen Mo was deeply moved upon hearing this, and almost blurted out the words, "If you do not abandon me, I am willing to become your godfather."

Yang Fugui waved his hand and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, you also benefited from misfortune. You absorbed all the medicinal power of the Hundred Herbs Salvation Pill. Do you know that this pill is made with more than a dozen kinds of precious herbs that are ten years old, using a secret method? It is a holy medicine for healing that countless people dream of."

"I see!" Shen Mo nodded as if he understood. The Vajra Strength Soup was already extraordinary with only one five-year-old precious medicine. The pill made from more than ten ten-year-old precious medicines should be just as good.

Not only did he break through the bottleneck to the seventh level of Body Refinement, but he also made a further step forward in one go, directly advancing to the eighth level of Body Refinement!

Shen Mo asked curiously, "I can't remember anything that happened after that."

Yang Fugui recounted the whole story truthfully.

"Princess Chu Leyao, it was she who bestowed the elixir upon me?"

Shen Mo thought that the Hundred Herbs Crossing the Calamity Pill was Liu Ruyan's treasure, but he didn't expect it to have come from the Eldest Princess. The problem was that he didn't know this famous princess.

Yang Fugui nodded and continued, "Liu Ruyan has been sending people to check on your injuries these past few days. If you have time tonight, you might as well send a reply so she won't worry."

"I understand. Has Chu Feng been visiting the Cold Palace recently?"

Shen Mo felt both hatred and worry when he thought of this person.

After all, a leopard can't change its spots; it's not the theft itself that's scary, but the fact that a thief has his eye on it.

"The Empress has learned of this and has punished him by confining him to his quarters for a month. He will definitely hold a grudge against you when he comes out, so you should make plans as soon as possible."

Yang Fugui spoke earnestly.

Unlike Wu De, who could be killed, Chu Feng could not be killed; the only option was to make him wary.

A murderous glint flashed in Shen Mo's eyes as he thought to himself, "Whether it's that little Gui Zi or the Fourth Prince Chu Feng, they both have to die. Just because it's not possible now doesn't mean there won't be a chance in the future."

"There's one more thing."

Yang Fugui stood up and said seriously, "What happened to you in the Cold Palace has already spread. Wu De must have noticed something. I just don't know if he will be wary of the Princess's status or if he will take action in advance."

"I'll be careful, Uncle Yang, take care."

Shen Mo sighed inwardly; in the end, he couldn't hide it any longer.

Come to think of it, even someone at the third level of Body Refinement, with a special physique, couldn't possibly withstand two blows from a Blood Refining Realm expert without dying.

Not long after.

Wu De led a few people in and pushed open the door. Seeing that Shen Mo was about to get up, he quickly said, "Eunuch Shen, Eunuch Shen, you can just lie down. We've come to deliver some things, and we'll leave after we're done."

That old face grinned like a chrysanthemum, its fawning expression so greasy it was practically overflowing with fat!

Shen Mo asked in confusion, "Manager Wu, what's going on?"

On the outer wall of the courtyard, Yang Fugui's figure was hidden in the darkness, equally curious about what Wu De was up to.
