After being drunk, I don't know that the sky is on the water, and the boat is full of dreams and the galaxy.

That night was like a dream.

Even though the sky was already turning light, Xiao Yishu was still reluctant to go to sleep. Holding Shen Mo's arm, she said, "Tell me the truth! Why did you only reveal the truth to me today?"

"My ancestral internal strength doesn't compensate for deficiencies all at once, but rather grows slowly."

After explaining, Shen Mo countered with a question: "Then answer me a question: between me and His Majesty, who is more mighty?"

"Of course it's you."

Xiao Yishu was both embarrassed and ashamed, but she still answered truthfully.

Shen Mo smiled knowingly, carried her back to the phoenix bed in the palace, and they fell asleep in each other's arms.

Several hours later.

The palace maids who were serving the meal stood in the courtyard and called out from afar. Xiao Yishu had already changed the rules, and no matter how important the matter was, no one was allowed to step into the main hall.

Xiao Yishu opened her sleepy eyes and said reproachfully, "It's all your fault. Today I have to stay in Fengyi Palace and can't go anywhere."

Last night was absolutely crazy.

Fortunately, she was not an innocent young girl; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to get out of bed for several days.

"Then let's rest."

Shen Mo felt it was time, so he asked, "Do you know who killed Wu Xiong?"

"Damn it, everyone knows that."

Xiao Yishu answered without hesitation.

Shen Mo shook his head: "The killer was the Dwarf Rakshasa, and the one who issued the kill order was Chu Tian!"

"You mean, the Crown Prince?" Xiao Yishu frowned and said, "Are you mistaken? Chu Tian has been sensible since he was a child, and everyone speaks highly of him."

In her eyes, Chu Tian was just a child like her own Chu Feng.

Shen Mo couldn't help but sneer: "If you don't know how to feign, how can you ascend to the position of Crown Prince?"

He then recounted Wu Xiong's conversation before leaving the palace, which included stories about Li Zhaoxue.

When Xiao Yishu learned that Wu Xiong had secretly arranged for Shen Mo to humiliate Li Zhaoxue behind her back, she exclaimed in shock:

"How could such a thing happen? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"At the time, I didn't know whether it was your order or not, so I kept it a secret until Wu Xiong told me the truth."

Shen Mo was also helpless, torn between Li Zhaoxue and Xiao Yishu.

Fortunately, Xiao Yishu is innocent.

"No wonder!"

Xiao Yishu's eyes flickered, and she suddenly realized, "No wonder you tested me before, asking me about Li Zhaoxue. Do you really think I'm such a vicious woman?"

"I'm doing this just to be on the safe side. To be honest, Zhaoxue doesn't know I'm a man yet."

Shen Mo's words immediately brought a smile to Xiao Yishu's face.

Of course, this is on the premise that Liu Ruyan and Ning'er don't tell her that right now only Li Zhaoxue hasn't been won over yet.

Xiao Yishu had gradually accepted this cruel truth and sighed softly:

"I never imagined Chu Tian would be like this. He always calls me 'Mother, Mother' whenever he sees me, and he always prepares special gifts for my birthday every year. How could he have such thoughts about me!"

Chu Tian's biological mother passed away due to illness.

Perhaps it was due to this personal connection, but more importantly, it was due to his personal abilities. His talent and martial arts skills were both exceptional, and he was never arrogant. Otherwise, how could he have secured the position of Crown Prince?

Shen Mo said, "I'm telling you this so you can be careful. Right now, we don't have any evidence to bring him down. Even if you tell the emperor yourself, he won't believe you. We have to wait and see if he makes a mistake."

Even if Chu Tian were utterly depraved, he wouldn't dare to force himself on Xiao Yishu in the palace.

What we need to be wary of are some conspiracies and tricks.

"I know what's important."

Xiao Yishu nodded, and was about to get up when she suddenly gasped in pain, saying irritably, "Look what you've done!"

"It's alright, I'll feed you."

After dressing properly, Shen Mo went outside the palace to take the tray from the maid, returned to the room, and scooped up a spoonful of steamed egg custard to feed her.

Even though no sugar was added to the soup, Xiao Yishu felt it tasted sweet.

afternoon.

Shen Mo stood in front of the door, flipping through a manual called "Blood Shadow Escape," which he had found on Xue Futu.

Unfortunately, the Floating Pagoda Knife Technique, which made him famous, is not included.

Back then, Xue Futu used the Blood Shadow Escape technique to consume a large amount of blood and energy in a short period of time to increase his speed, which allowed him to escape from the hands of two elders of the same realm from the Divine Arresting Sect.

If it weren't for the fact that using this technique would cause a period of qi and blood deficiency, this movement technique would be no less than the abbot's Dragon Shadow Step.

"Shen Mo! Is my mother in the palace?"

Chu Feng appeared with his follower Xiao Gui Zi, who kept his head down and dared not look him in the eye.

"Your Highness, the Empress is indeed in the palace, but it's best if you don't disturb her for now."

Shen Mo was speechless. He was already guarding outside Fengyi Palace, so how could Xiao Yishu not be inside?

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng immediately became anxious: "What's wrong with Mother? Has she caught a cold? Has the imperial physician come to see her?"

"Not bad! It's nothing serious, just a day of rest will do the trick."

Shen Mo agreed to this excuse. If Chu Feng knew what had happened to his mother last night, he would probably cry with anger.

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng muttered, "Then I'd better not go, lest I get infected. But it's the same if I ask you about this."

"May I ask, Fourth Prince, what brings you here?"

Shen Mo's lips twitched slightly.

She's so filial, so incredibly filial.

Chu Feng simply opened his palm and demanded with a matter of course: "I've spent all my money. You must have received many rewards from the Empress Dowager. Just give me ten thousand taels first."

Shen Mo hadn't actually taken a single tael of silver from Xiao Yishu. After thinking for a moment, he took out two silver notes from his pocket: "I only have two thousand taels on me."

Without it.

It's only natural for a father to give money to his son.

Chu Feng's face immediately darkened, and he said irritably, "How can you, the dignified chief eunuch, be so poor? Two thousand taels of silver could buy you several trips to the Eight Treasures Restaurant!"

"Your Highness, let it go!"

Xiao Gui Zi secretly tugged at his clothes and whispered.

His master had no idea of ​​Shen Mo's current influence in the harem; the saying "Better to offend the King of Hell than to offend Shen Mo" was becoming increasingly valuable.

On the contrary, they knew exactly which newcomers came to the Eight Treasures Pavilion and which gambling den had novel gameplay.

Shen Mo sighed softly and took out three more silver notes: "They're all here, Fourth Prince, please make yourselves at home."

Anyway, these five thousand taels were taken from Xue Futu, so it's good to spend them all and let Chu Feng know what fatherly love is like.

"Shen Mo, you're still too green to play mind games with me."

Chu Feng proudly accepted the three silver notes, completely unaware that Xiao Guizi's face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot. How could the money of this living devil be so easily taken?

Just as the master and servant turned to leave, Shen Mo spoke calmly, "Wait!"

"Could there be more?"

Chu Feng's eyes lit up. Ever since he was confined to his home last time, Xiao Yishu had been giving him a fixed amount of money every month, not a penny more.

Shen Mo completely ignored her and turned his gaze to Xiao Guizi beside him:

"Little Gui, shouldn't we settle our scores now?"

Xiao Guizi's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

As expected, what was bound to happen has finally happened.
