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

"Steward Shen!"

At the gate of the Cold Palace, two eunuchs on duty respectfully greeted the guests.

Their expressions were filled with awe, with fear clearly outweighing respect.

Not only them, but almost every eunuch Shen Mo had come into contact with these days, except for Xiao Xizi, had this expression.

He had gotten used to it.

"Um."

Shen Mo nodded slightly and headed towards Courtyard No. 18.

Inside the room, steam was rising from the bronze incense burner, and several jars of "Drunken Beauty" wine were placed beside it.

When Liu Ruyan saw Shen Mo, she smiled and said, "You've come at the right time. Ning'er was hungry last night, and we're having hot pot together."

"What?!"

Ning'er stuck out her tongue and retorted, "Auntie clearly wanted to eat too, but it's all my fault."

"I'm hungry too."

Shen Mo took his seat and picked up the wine pot to fill a glass.

Speaking of Lai, he was truly wronged.

The world speculated that Qin Lu was responsible for Wu De's death, but Wu Xiong's death had nothing to do with him, yet the blame was placed entirely on him.

What's even more frustrating is that even though you know who the murderer is, you can't say, and you're stuck with this blame.

Liu Ruyan noticed that Shen Mo was preoccupied and comforted him, saying, "Don't take other people's gossip to heart."

"I see."

Shen Mo drank it all in one gulp. In truth, as long as the emperor and empress trusted him, that was enough, but the suspicion of others still made him feel uncomfortable.

Ning'er snorted and said, "So what if Xiao Mozi really did kill him? Wu De is rotten to the core, and Wu Xiong is no better."

Wu De's wickedness was known to everyone in the Cold Palace.

Wu Xiong climbed to the position of chief steward by stepping over mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Liu Ruyan poured a full glass of wine and clinked it with Shen Mo's, saying, "Others may not believe you, but we do!"

"Yes, cheers to trust!" Ning'er also clinked her glass.

Shen Mo felt greatly relieved.

With such a soulmate, what more could one ask for?

After several rounds of drinks...

The three of them had unknowingly drunk too much. Shen Mo looked at the rosy cheeks of the two girls, aunt and niece, and couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart.

Perhaps, it's time.

After the candles were extinguished, the three of them lay on the couch.

Shen Mo's mind stirred slightly, and he thought to himself, "After months of practicing my sword, today is the day to draw it!"

"ah!"

Ning'er suddenly exclaimed.

Liu Ruyan frowned and said, "Ning'er, stop shouting!"

"No, Auntie, it seems like Xiao Mozi brought a stick with him," Ning'er explained, feeling wronged. Otherwise, why would she have exclaimed in surprise?

"Hmm? Ah—"

Just as Liu Ruyan was about to ask a question, her heart suddenly fluttered.

Unlike Ning'er, who had been through it all, she immediately realized what had happened.

"Shen Mo, you......."

Liu Ruyan's heart almost stopped, and her voice trembled.

Shen Mo readily admitted, "That's right, I'm a fake eunuch, or rather, I used to be a real eunuch, but now I'm a real man!"

He revealed his only two secrets to the two women.

I'm coming clean, I'm not pretending anymore, I'm a fake eunuch.

Liu Ruyan's mind went blank, and she said in a trembling voice, "Do you know what this means?"

A fake eunuch managed to infiltrate the imperial harem and even rise to the position of chief eunuch.

If this is proven true, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for the emperor to have him ground to dust.

Eating the same food together is taboo.

Moreover, it was a real fight.

"Auntie is so silly, this means we finally have a man!"

Ning'er said excitedly, she wouldn't think so much. She liked Shen Mo whether he was a real eunuch or a fake one.

Shen Mo countered, "Ruyan, are you scared?"

"Scared? Shen Mo, you've kept this from us for so long!"

Liu Ruyan was overjoyed.

Her biggest regret was that she had implicated her family because of herself, and later she realized that Shen Mo was not a real man.

There is still a difference between eunuchs and men, and the difference is not small.

"You little devil," Ning'er snorted, chiding me, "No wonder you kept testing me before, asking me what would happen if you were a real man. Turns out you've been hiding it all along, making Aunt and me always feel disappointed!"

"Tonight, let's make up for all our regrets."

They kissed silently, lost in the moment.

Whether it's true or false is no longer important; what matters is that lovers eventually get married.

All regrets and feelings of loss will be made up for tonight.

........

Only when drunk do you realize how strong the wine is; only after loving do you understand how deep the affection is.

Liu Ruyan's eyes were blank, she didn't even have the strength to lift a little finger, and a silly smile played on her lips: "It's different, it's definitely different."

There is a fundamental difference between this and eating together.

She had even forgotten when she last felt this way.

"Little Mozi, tell the truth!"

Ning'er grabbed Shen Mo's ear and demanded, "Who are we, the first to find out this secret?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan also became nervous; women seem to care a lot about the order of things.

Shen Mo truthfully replied, "I guarantee you will be the first to know."

He had been waiting for this moment.

I wanted to wait a little longer, but the atmosphere was already right, and the leeks that had been squeezed before were even more eager to be harvested than before. Wouldn't it be a waste to wait any longer?

Ning'er asked again, "Even Aunt Li doesn't know?"

"I don't know."

"Your Majesty the Empress?"

"I don't know either." Shen Mo cupped Ning'er's cheeks, his true feelings revealed, "I secretly swore long ago that I would make you my first woman, how could I break my promise?"

"Little Mozi, you're so mean! You just know how to make me happy."

Upon hearing this, Ning'er felt sweeter than if she had eaten honey, and she could no longer suppress her smile, which was as bright as the crescent moon in the sky.

Liu Ruyan said insincerely, "The order doesn't matter. What's important is that this secret must be kept. Zhaoxue should be trustworthy, Your Majesty..."

"She can be trusted."

Shen Mo has his own judgment.

Her relationship with Xiao Yishu was more than just a casual fling; they had already opened their hearts to each other.

Liu Ruyan nodded: "This matter is of utmost importance, and we must be extremely careful! But I'm still very curious, how exactly did you...?"

"Thanks to the ancestral cultivation technique I practice, it not only allows me to cultivate with the help of the cold air of the Cold Palace, but also continuously makes up for any deficiencies."

Shen Mo explained the origin.

As for the existence of the system, that is the biggest secret that cannot be revealed to anyone.

Ning'er suddenly realized and said, "Are you like that Chu Juji? I heard he can also cultivate in the Cold Palace."

"It's different. He can only resist the coldness of the cold palace."

Shen Mo shook his head. He had noticed it when he fought Chu Juji. Even though he was wearing perfume, he couldn't cover up the faint smell of urine.

That's why he was so certain.

Ning'er said somewhat embarrassedly, "Xiao Mozi, I'm still hungry!"

Liu Ruyan cursed Ning'er inwardly for being spineless; how could she say such a thing? She herself would never have said it.

Shen Mo smiled knowingly and said, "Yes, madam Ning'er."

Greedy for a while.

The next day, Shen Mo, unusually, overslept.

He left the cold palace and returned to the courtyard.

Unlike the previous residence outside the Cold Palace, Shen Mo's new residence was specially chosen to be located between the Phoenix Palace and the Cold Palace, making it convenient for him to go anywhere.

"This problem has occurred again."

Shen Mo had just begun to calmly practice the Vajra King Technique when he came out of his meditative state after only completing half of it.

To cultivate this skill, one must frequently listen to scriptures and worship Buddha. It has been nearly twenty days since I last left the palace.

"Perfect timing. I've run out of Blood Yang Pills, it's time to leave the palace."

Thinking of this, Shen Mo got up and changed into casual clothes.
