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

The founding emperor of the Qian Kingdom unexpectedly obtained a rare treasure called the Glass Stalactite. Every ten years, this strange stone would produce an ice-like crystal, which is Glass Ice!

The production of glass ice is extremely limited, and throughout history, only emperors and a few members of the royal family have been qualified to use it. It is rarely used as a reward.

However, the royal bloodline of this generation is not strong, and only Chu Chengjing and Crown Prince Chu Tian have used it, so there are quite a few shares.

"Your Majesty, this servant dares not conceal the truth; this servant is quite obsessed with the path of martial arts!"

Shen Mo feigned excitement, but showed no sign of fear.

He wanted to cultivate an image of a martial arts fanatic in front of the emperor, someone who would give anything for cultivation resources.

"rare!"

Chu Cheng nodded, having been feigning silence earlier.

According to the information, Xiao Mozi broke through to the Blood Transformation Realm in less than half a year in the Cold Palace. He would not have had such good fortune if he were not a martial arts fanatic.

However, once you reach the Blood Transformation Realm, breaking through to the next level becomes extremely difficult!

Mind this.

Chu Chengjing coughed lightly and said, "The Glazed Ice is a precious treasure of our royal family and cannot be bestowed lightly! How about we make a deal? If you can reach the threshold of the Blood Core Realm within a year, I will grant you a drop of Glazed Ice."

One year!

Even a martial arts genius could not possibly break through in such a short time, let alone someone who only has three types of innate talent.

"this......"

Shen Mo seemed somewhat hesitant. For an ordinary martial artist, it would be quite good if they could progress from blood circulation to condensing a blood pill within ten years.

That Chu Juji, revered as the pride of the Cold Palace, broke through to the early stage of Blood Transfer many years ago, but now he is only at the middle stage, which shows how difficult it is.

"It's settled then!" Chu Chengjing made the decision directly, then yawned.

"This servant takes his leave."

Shen Mo understood that the emperor was issuing an order to leave, so he took the initiative to withdraw.

He hadn't noticed from beginning to end that there was a third person in the Imperial Study. No sooner had he left than the Ninth Prince appeared.

Chu Chengjing smiled and asked, "What do you think of this person?"

"Ambitious, knows when to advance and retreat, and what's even more rare is his diligence—a fine weapon!" The Ninth Prince commented.

Chu Chengjing said, "I'm not afraid of his ambition, I'm afraid of him having no weaknesses. A person with no weaknesses is the most difficult to exploit!"

Moon stars are rare.

As Shen Mo stepped out of the Imperial Study, he saw Wu Xiong waiting outside. Wu Xiong whispered, "Her Majesty has ordered you to go to Fengyi Palace immediately."

"clear!"

Shen Mo didn't say much and followed Wu Xiong to Fengyi Palace.

Wu Xiong watched Shen Mo enter the palace, his eyes revealing a hint of envy, and... mockery.

"Even if he is highly regarded by the Empress, so what? The Empress and His Majesty have been estranged for many years. After all, the Great Qian Dynasty belongs to the Chu family!"

Shen Mo had just stepped into the main hall.

After waiting for a long time, Xiao Yishu nestled into his arms, asking with concern, "Those people from the Eastern Depot didn't torture you, did they?"

"Thanks to the jade token bearing the Empress's identity, they dared not."

With a gentle smile, Shen Mo looked just like a wife waiting for her husband to come home from get off work.

Her heart has been completely won over.

If I used to only feel a sense of accomplishment, now I only feel warmth.

Xiao Yishu said, "I originally wanted to wait for you on the road, but I was afraid it would seem too intimate and arouse suspicion, so I asked Wu Xiong to pick you up."

"Your Majesty, thank you for your trouble!"

"If you really feel bad about it."

Xiao Yishu leaned forward and gently parted her lips: "Then feed me."

"wait for me!"

After Shen Mo finished speaking, he gently pinched her cheek, then turned and left Fengyi Palace.

It was getting late, and it would be controversial if he stayed too long in the Empress's palace.

So he walked out the door and disappeared into the distance under Wu Xiong's watchful eye, then went around in another direction and climbed over the wall to sneak back in.

........

The matter is over.

Shen Mo gazed at Xiao Yishu's stunning beauty, feeling a pang of unease.

In a sense, she has become his woman, and so has Li Zhaoxue. How can the hatred between the two be erased?

However, one thing is certain.

Xiao Yishu had no idea that he was the eunuch who had been assigned by Wu Xiong to humiliate Li Zhaoxue; otherwise, he would have inquired about the matter long ago.

We've known each other for so long, and she's never mentioned it.

Seeing Shen Mo's slightly troubled expression, Xiao Yishu couldn't help but ask, "Is something on your mind?"

"Your Majesty, do you hate Li Zhaoxue very much?" Shen Mo asked tentatively.

"Li Zhaoxue? I have an old grudge against her, and she was once the emperor's favorite concubine. In a fit of anger, I used my resources to force His Majesty to banish her to the cold palace. Guess what happened?"

Xiao Yishu shook her head with a bitter smile: "After His Majesty banished her to the Cold Palace and ignored her completely, I knew then that we were the same kind of people!"

Who are they? They are all women who are older than the emperor and have lost his favor.

She had also tried to take advantage of those young, favored concubines, but the emperor strongly thwarted her plans, and she never succeeded.

This is also a key reason why she saw through the emperor!

"By the way, since you are in charge of the Cold Palace, do you know how she is doing there? If you have the chance, please do something to help her."

Xiao Yishu looked completely sincere, showing no sign of pretense.

Shen Mo's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he thought to himself:

"Could it be that the order to humiliate Li Zhaoxue wasn't given by her at all, and that she merely helped to banish her to the cold palace?"

"Otherwise, why would they ask me to help a woman I once hated to the extreme?"

Seeing Shen Mo's thoughtful expression, Xiao Yishu exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that you and her have already...?"

"Nothing can be hidden from the Empress Dowager."

Shen Mo gave an awkward smile and confessed directly.

Tonight is the confession game.

Xiao Yishu grabbed Shen Mo's tender waist and sneered, "Well, so that's why you're so skilled. You've already honed your skills in the Cold Palace!"

"Ouch! It hurts so much! Your Majesty, please don't be jealous."

Shen Mo grimaced in pain, but of course he was faking it. Having mastered two body-refining techniques, how could he be afraid of such pain?

Xiao Yishu finally relaxed and said weakly, "I just feel so wronged. I only have you, but you've been hiding someone else from me... no, there's someone else!"

She suddenly remembered the news that the Liu family had also pleaded with the emperor.

Xiao Yishu looked at Shen Mo with resentment and said, "That vixen Liu Ruyan didn't escape your clutches either, did she? They say men are no good, but you, this eunuch, are no good either."

"Why say such harsh things? You're both women, you should understand each other."

Shen Mo held her in his arms and comforted her for a while before she felt a little better.

"It's already very late; it will be dawn in another hour!"

Shen Mo was about to leave when Xiao Yishu grabbed his wrist: "Then come early today, don't make me wait until evening."

"Yes, sir!"

Shen Mo deliberately acted like a servant, but in reality, since that night, there had been no distinction between the two of them.

This scene prompted Xiao Yishu to tease him: "You silly boy, go to sleep already!"

Shen Mo disappeared into the night and soon vanished.

They appeared in the courtyard of their residence before dawn.

"Wu Xiong!"

Shen Mo muttered to himself, his suspicions about this person reaching their peak.

Wu De acted on Wu Xiong's orders, using the Empress's name, but in fact the Empress did not issue any orders at all.

What exactly is Wu Xiong after?

Or is there someone else behind him?
