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

The Cold Palace remained as silent as ever.

Shen Mo scaled the high wall and landed steadily like a falling leaf, skillfully burying his night clothes and ghost mask before changing into the eunuch's robes he had prepared.

They bypassed the patrol team and arrived at courtyard number 29.

"Little Mozi?"

Liu Ruyan was both surprised and delighted.

It was so late, and she thought Shen Mo wouldn't come tonight, which made her a little disappointed.

In fact, Shen Mo had already entered the Cold Palace long ago. He went through the motions, deliberately letting the eunuchs on duty and the patrolling eunuchs see him. Then he took the opportunity to change into night clothes, climb over the wall, and intercept Wu De.

Shen Mo said solemnly, "I went to take care of something important. If anyone asks about it tomorrow, just say I was on duty all night."

"I see."

Liu Ruyan's eyes flashed, her expression unusually serious, then she revealed a charming allure: "Little Mozi, how can I thank you enough? You not only saved Ning'er and me, but also brought my Liu family back from the brink of death!"

"Has the first batch of wine been produced?"

Shen Mo was somewhat surprised, but after a moment's thought, he felt it made sense.

The Liu family is a family of winemakers, possessing top-quality wine cellars and yeast. It is not difficult for them to make wine in five days. If they spend more time, they can make even better wine.

Liu Ruyan nodded and said, "After I managed to get your piece of paper out of the palace, my father immediately ordered his men to brew it. Today at Shenshi (3-5 PM), he secretly sent two jars into the palace, Ning'er!"

"Here we go."

Ning'er took out two jars of wine from the corner, and then found some dried meat, fried peanuts and other snacks from the cabinet, and placed them on the table.

Liu Ruyan smiled radiantly: "Perfect timing! I haven't tried this wine before either. Tonight, we won't leave until we're drunk!"

Once the porcelain lid is lifted, it's as if a seal has been broken, and the aroma of the wine rushes out eagerly.

The room was filled with a wonderful aroma.

After pouring a full glass, Liu Ruyan held it with both hands, smiling, and said, "Little Mozi, I'd like to toast you!"

"I wouldn't dare."

As a sign of respect, Shenmo drank a cup first.

It tastes exactly like I remember!

"Ouch—it's so spicy, it feels like I'm on fire."

After Ning'er finished drinking, she was so spicy that she stuck out her tongue. She quickly peeled a peanut and put it in her mouth.

Liu Ruyan parted her lips slightly, took a sip but didn't swallow, closed her eyes to savor the taste, and after a moment suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Excellent! This wine is as strong as a knife, as smooth as silk, and its fragrance penetrates to the bone. This is truly worthy of being called a fine nectar!"

All the fine wines she had ever tasted paled in comparison!

"sharp!"

Shen Mo couldn't help but praise her, saying that she was indeed a woman from the Liu family and a connoisseur of wine.

Liu Ruyan took a deep breath and said to Shen Mo, "Little Mo, do you know what my biggest regret in this life is? It's not that I misjudged people, but that I caused the Liu family to decline day by day."

You have fulfilled one of my greatest wishes; now I can die without regrets.

"Your Majesty is blessed with good fortune. What do you mean by death? That's too unlucky."

Shen Mo quickly waved his hand.

Liu Ruyan hesitated for a moment, then blushed and said, "Little Mozi, you can call me by my real name in private from now on. There's no need to be so polite as to call me Your Majesty."

The simple change in address has already shown the sentiment.

"Good as smoke."

It wasn't Shen Mo who spoke, but Ning'er.

Liu Ruyan immediately gave her a sharp rap on the head and said irritably, "You'll have to call me aunt for the rest of your life, you disrespectful little brat."

"That's not fair!"

Ning'er pouted in protest, and Shen Mo secretly chuckled. He coughed lightly and then cupped his hands in a gesture of respect: "Since that's the case... Ruyan, I'll toast you."

"It would be impolite of me to refuse," Liu Ruyan said with a smile in her eyes, and gladly drank it down.

What is self-knowledge? It means knowing yourself and knowing your enemy.

You know my heroic spirit is weak, and I know your love for your children is deep.

A thousand cups of wine are not enough when drinking with a bosom friend; only after getting drunk do you realize how vast the world is.

"Wait a moment!"

After several rounds of drinks...

With her last ounce of consciousness, Liu Ruyan grabbed Shen Mo's arm: "Little Mo, my father has learned that you are quite talented and would like to ask you to name this wine."

"Let's call it... Drunken Beauty."

Shen Mo observed the drunken state of his two close friends and said this.

"Drunken Beauty? Wonderful!" Liu Ruyan wrapped her arm around Shen Mo's and pressed herself against him, her breath reeking of alcohol. "Little Mo, you still haven't told me how you want me to thank you?"

"Perhaps you would call me Your Majesty?"

Shen Mo reached out and lifted Liu Ruyan's chin with his finger. He vaguely remembered that she was just like this back then, proud as a queen.

Now, the roles have been reversed.

"don't want!"

Liu Ruyan shook her head, her face full of disgust, feeling utterly disgusted with that person.

In his view, this title was an insult to Shen Mo.

"That......"

As Shen Mo was pondering how to express his gratitude, he heard Liu Ruyan's lips almost touching his ear, her voice carrying a thousand turns as she uttered two words:

"My husband~"

Shen Mo felt a tingling sensation, a pleasure that went from his spine to the top of his head, followed by a gradual loss of consciousness.

The wine doesn't intoxicate, the person intoxicates themselves!

"My wife!"

Shen Mo picked up Liu Ruyan around the waist, and looking at Ning'er who was already drunk and slumped on the table, he took one hand and carried her along as well.

The three on the bed knew each other well.

The bed curtains fell, obscuring the view from the bed.

........

"Something terrible has happened!"

Hearing the commotion and shouts outside, I was startled awake, opened my eyes, dressed, and calmly went outside.

The gate of the Cold Palace.

Shen Mo frowned in displeasure and asked, "What's all the noise about?"

"Eunuch Shen, Steward Wu is dead!"

The eunuch on duty looked terrified. Those who were assigned to guard the gate were all single-room servants, meaning they were Wu De's men.

For them, Wu Deyi's death was like the sky falling and the earth collapsing.

"Is this true?" Shen Mo exclaimed, feigning surprise, and cursed, "Which bastard dared to kill even Steward Wu?"

After saying that, he quickly walked towards the crowd in the distance.

The eunuchs of the Cold Palace seemed to have found their pillar of support and hurriedly stepped forward. The eunuch Jia even said directly:

"Eunuch Shen, Steward Wu is dead, what should we do?"

Everyone was waiting for Shen Mo's attitude. He had implicitly become the leader of the eunuchs in the Cold Palace, thanks in large part to Wu De's fawning attitude towards him in front of so many eunuchs last night.

Furthermore, it was no secret that Chu Leyao had given Shen Mo the Hundred Herbs Crossing the Calamity Pill.

With this connection, it's practically a certainty that Shen Mo will become the new manager.

After examining the body, Shen Mo concluded, "The killer is likely at the Blood Transformation Realm!"

"That's right! The coroner at Anle Hall also thinks so, saying that a Body Refinement Realm martial artist simply cannot deliver such a powerful punch. This person even deliberately used overt force instead of covert force in order to confuse the public and pretend to be a Body Refinement Realm murderer."

The young eunuch who carried the body from Anlefang nodded in agreement.

Shen Mo said calmly, "Let's leave it for now and wait for someone from above to come."

At this point, the crowd started discussing it again.

Someone lowered their voice and said in a very low tone, "Isn't it said that evil people live for a thousand years? How come Manager Wu is dead already?"

"Shh! You're really brave!"

"What are you afraid of? This place won't belong to the Wu family anymore."

Eunuch Jia was the first to react, and said with a fawning smile, "Eunuch Shen, now that Steward Wu is gone, we'll all have to rely on you from now on."

Seeing this, the other eunuchs in their private rooms quickly offered their suggestions one after another.

"May you be blessed, Eunuch Shen!"

"When Eunuch Shen first entered the palace, I saw a purple tinge on his forehead, which foreshadowed a promising future in his official career!"

"That's what they call being destined for officialdom; no need to even look at the books!"

Niang Xipi.

So, being destined for officialdom means becoming a eunuch?

Who said that? Step forward, and I promise I won't kill you!

Shen Mo's lips twitched slightly, and he said coldly, "Silence! What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket?"

The scene fell silent instantly; not a single person dared to speak.

Yang Fugui nodded secretly, his eyes full of appreciation, and thought to himself:

"Now that Shenmo has passed the test, it is time for me to fulfill my promise."

Shen Mo's path was different from his.

The Cold Palace was very large, but it seemed small compared to the Imperial Palace.

The palace was vast, yet it seemed insignificant compared to the entire world.

Only by climbing step by step can one see the vastness of the mountains below.
