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

The night was as still as water, and the moonlight bathed the palace.

Nowadays, many palaces in the Great Qian Imperial Palace are empty. Many concubines who were willing to leave the palace and regain their freedom have all been released under Shen Mo's instructions and will receive a considerable income to support themselves for the rest of their lives.

Besides, the Cold Palace is basically empty.

Inside a palace.

He waited quietly, having promised the Mutou sisters that tonight belonged to them.

The door was pushed open, and three women, all wearing red wedding dresses and covered with red veils, entered.

"Why are there three?"

Shen Mo was stunned for a moment. Could it be that...?

After the door closed, he stepped forward and lifted the veil off the first person.

Nobuko Muto, with her elegant updo and pearl earrings, exuding the fragrance of flower petals after a bath, giggled and said, "Do you like it? This was my sister's idea."

Shen Mo ignored her and lifted the second veil.

Muto Yoshiko glanced at him shyly before quickly looking away, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

Uncover the third veil.

Qiao Yan, or rather Mutou Yuko, pursed her lips, her eyes red-rimmed, clearly having just cried not long ago. Upon seeing Shen Mo's hateful face, she glared back fiercely.

"Let's skip that."

Shen Mo waved his hand. He knew this must have been Xinzi and Fangzi's idea, but he never liked to force women.

Friend's wife, don't deceive.

Yuko Muto sneered, "Don't pretend to be a good person. That day when you were on top of me..."

"Let me clarify, you were the one who lay on top of me that day."

Shen Mo interrupted her.

Yuko Muto stomped her foot in anger and turned to leave, but her two older sisters quickly stopped her.

Xinzi looked at Shen Mo and frowned, saying, "Your Majesty, although that night was an accident, my sister now has no connection with the Xiao family anymore, so you don't need to worry."

"What happened?"

Shen Mo inquired out of curiosity, wondering how Xiao Ye could let go, given his infatuated appearance.

Nobuko then recounted what had happened that evening.

It turns out that Yuko Muto wasn't crying because her two older sisters forced her to, but because she shed tears after the breakup.

Shen Mo couldn't help but think, "They broke up, and I'm trying to steal her away right after. Even if I was forced into it, isn't that a bit unethical?"

On second thought, what is morality? Can you eat it?

They've already broken up, and there's absolutely no chance of them getting back together, so this probably doesn't count as stealing someone else's partner.

"Yuko, quickly apologize to His Majesty."

Fangzi kept a straight face, her voice carrying an air of authority even without anger; she still possessed the aura of an empress.

Yuko returned to Shen Mo's side and said weakly, "Your Majesty, I was wrong!"

"Then you can go first in line."

Shen Mo was somewhat tempted; although that night was an accident, it was still a special experience.

Tonight, we will relive those moments.

Half an hour later.

Yuko Muto's face was wet with tears again, this time with a sense of grievance. Even though she was unwilling, she could only serve this man against her will when she thought of the countless suffering people of Japan.

Shen Mo's lips curled up slightly. He liked this unruly look of hers!

Then there was Yoshiko, the Japanese empress.

.........

This night was long and sensual.

The three Muto sisters have very different personalities, just like a box of three-color ice cream, where you can enjoy three different flavors in one box.

Shen Mo glanced at Mutou Yoshiko, who was still savoring the moment, and asked, "Yoshiko, as the Empress, do you also have many male lovers?"

"Your Majesty, Yoshiko had only one husband in her life and had two children," Yoshiko Muto replied truthfully.

Shen Mo frowned and asked, "Really?"

"Fangzi would not dare to lie to Your Majesty. I am not interested in matters of men and women. If I wanted to, I could naturally have a large number of wives and concubines like you."

Shen Mo's curiosity was piqued, and she asked, "Between me and your husband, who is stronger?"

"Of course...of course Your Majesty is better than ten or a hundred times."

Muto Yoshiko's voice was so shy it was almost inaudible, and she added, "My husband and I usually only have sex once a month, and we haven't done it for the past six months. Each time, it ends hastily in less than 15 minutes."

That's it!

Shen Mo seemed to understand why Muto Yoshiko reacted so strongly.

"Wait a minute, if you enter my harem, what will happen to your husband and children?"

"Naturally, we should dissolve the relationship."

Yoshiko Muto had already thought it through: what did it matter if she abandoned her husband and children in order to ensure the people of Japan could live in peace and prosperity?

Shen Mo clicked his tongue and said, "Isn't this too cruel to them?"

"No, when they learned it was for the sake of millions of Japanese people, they felt honored rather than cruel."

Silence doesn't understand, but it respects.

Since the couple has already made up their minds, it's not appropriate for him, an outsider, to say anything more.

The next day at noon.

"Your Majesty, there is a secret letter!"

Hearing Xiao Xizi's voice outside, Shen Mo opened his sleepy eyes and moved the long, white leg that was draped over him away.

Upon closer inspection, the three sisters' sleeping postures were all identically unseemly.

They were sleeping soundly, but somehow after falling asleep, they ended up sprawled out in all sorts of positions, with arms or legs draped over him.

Shen Mo got dressed and walked out of the house.

Xiao Xizi presented the letters; not one, but two.

He opened one of the letters and found it to be a letter of surrender, densely written with at least a thousand words.

At the end, there is also a seal symbolizing the identity of the Southern Barbarian Emperor.

Shen Mo then opened the second letter.

The contents of the letter were very similar to the first one, and it also ended with the seal of the Northern Liang emperor.

The contents of the two letters can be summarized as follows: Shen Mo is appointed by Heaven and is the emperor ordained by Heaven. The Southern Barbarians and Northern Liang should rightfully become part of his rule.

With that, the last two puzzle pieces were complete.

Shen Mo suddenly remembered the chess game in the Imperial Garden, and immediately went to the Thousand Autumns Pavilion in the Imperial Garden.

Inside the pavilion, everything remained the same.

However, the mindset of the spectators has changed completely.

Back then, he was just a eunuch by Chu Chengjing's side, but now he has become the mastermind, not just controlling the situation of a city or a country, but the overall situation of the world.

Now, it's time for this grand game of strategy to come to a close.

"As the emperor, I shall do as I please."

Shen Mo slammed his hand heavily on the table, sending countless stone chess pieces flying everywhere. The stone table shattered into pieces, revealing what was hidden inside: red beads the size of longans.

This red bead is neither stone nor jade, and its material is unknown, yet it radiates heat in all directions.

The stone table was made of a special material; these red beads were hidden inside, yet they didn't emit any heat. Otherwise, they would have been discovered long ago.

"I see!"

Shen Mo suddenly remembered that Chu Chengjing had once said that there was something strange about Qianqiu Pavilion. No matter what trees or flowers were planted around the pavilion, they would not survive. Many eunuchs and palace maids said that this was an ominous sign, meaning that the Chu family's rule would not last long.

Now it seems that it was entirely related to the red bead hidden in the stone table.

The question is, who hid these red beads here?

He vaguely remembered that this chess game was played by the first head of the Tianji Pavilion and the first emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.

If it was the latter who hid it, Chu Chengjing and his descendants should have noticed.

Clearly, it was the Lord of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion who intentionally concealed it!
