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

Without much thought, Xiao Guizi's knees buckled and she knelt down before Shen Mo.

He raised his arm and slapped himself hard, begging for mercy as he did so: "Steward Shen, I was ungrateful before, I was blind and ignorant, I offended you, I will take full responsibility, I apologize to you!"

Shen Mo sneered inwardly.

This little Gui Zi is quite clever; he knows that the only chance of survival lies with Chu Feng. He says he'll bear all the blame, but can he really do that?

"Little Gui, are you being foolish!"

Seeing this, Chu Feng tried to pull Xiao Guizi up, but he couldn't budge her no matter what he did, and couldn't help but angrily shout:

"You spineless wretch, how have I disciplined you on a daily basis?"

Don't even mention that you, Xiao Guizi, are a person; even if you were a dog, you'd still have to consider its owner before beating it!

Xiao Guizi ignored him, a bitter smile on her lips.

His master might be able to flaunt his power in front of ordinary people, and even dare to offend other imperial concubines because his mother is the empress, but in the end, he is still a prince without any power or influence.

Shen Mo was at the height of his power in the harem.

Apart from the emperor and empress, who would dare to be disrespectful in the inner palace?

The current Shen Mo is no longer the lowly eunuch in the cold palace who could be manipulated at will.

"Silence!"

Seeing that he couldn't pull Xiao Guizi away, Chu Feng stood up and roared at Shen Mo, "I was the one who ordered Xiao Guizi to kill you! If you have any grievances, take them out on me! Do you dare?"

Snapped--!

Shen Mo slapped Chu Feng across the face and said coldly, "I promised Her Majesty that I wouldn't stoop to your level, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't dare to hit you. This slap is on behalf of Her Majesty to teach her a lesson."

"You, you dare to hit this prince?"

Chu Feng was stunned by the beating. As the pain on his face intensified, he burst into tears, his eyes red, and clenched his fists, shouting, "I'll fight you to the death!"

"Your Highness, please calm down!"

Xiao Guizi clung tightly to Chu Feng's leg, and seeing that he still wouldn't give up, she had no choice but to knock him unconscious with a chop to the neck.

Then, he took a deep breath.

Xiao Guizi said in a deep voice, "Steward Shen, can I use my own lowly life to resolve this conflict? I only beg you to be magnanimous and not to stoop to the level of the Fourth Prince in the future."

That slap said so much.

Shen Mo had already gained the Empress's deep trust; otherwise, how could he have dared to say something like "reprimanding on behalf of the Empress"?

The Fourth Prince's greatest reliance is the Empress, which means that Shen Mo can trip up Chu Feng at any time if he wants to.

Is it worth it?

Shen Mo stared at Xiao Guizi and asked in return.

Xiao Guizi didn't answer the question, but just looked at the unconscious Chu Feng and said:

"I have been with His Highness since I was a child. In your eyes, His Highness is ignorant, arrogant and domineering, and bullies others by relying on his power, but he is very good to me!"

To me, he was a good master!

After speaking, Xiao Guizi held his breath, gathered all his energy, and slapped his head with his palm.

Just as his palm was about to touch his scalp, it was firmly gripped, and the force was instantly neutralized. He looked up at Shen Mo in astonishment.

Shen Mo said calmly, "I originally wanted to kill you, but seeing the deep bond between you master and servant, I decided to cripple your cultivation to settle our score."

The two shared a deep bond as master and servant.

If Chu Feng kills Xiao Guizi, he will definitely fight to the death. Even if Shen Mo doesn't have the ability, he doesn't want to be bothered by the other party like a fly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Guizi immediately kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Steward Shen, for sparing my life!"

Then, he struck the dantian with his palm.

He endured the pain, his face pale, and said to Shen Mo, "I will have to trouble the steward to send someone to take His Highness back to his residence. If he wakes up now and sees me in this state, it will be very troublesome."

"You guys, take them back."

Shen Mo gave orders to those around him, and the eunuchs and palace maids immediately stepped forward to help.

With the help of eunuchs and palace maids, the master and servant returned to their quarters.

Chu Feng woke up shortly after and saw Xiao Guizi's face was as pale as paper. He hurriedly asked, "Xiao Guizi, what happened to you? What did Shen Mo do to you?"

"Your Highness, it wasn't Shen Mo; I destroyed my own cultivation."

Xiao Guizi forced a smile, but Chu Feng was furious: "Impossible! He must have forced him! I'm going to settle the score with him right now!"

"Your Highness! Your Highness!"

Xiao Guizi hugged Chu Feng and pleaded, "This is already the best outcome! Everything has a price. We almost killed him back then, and this is the price we have to pay."

"But...but that was my order!"

Chu Feng's eyes reddened, and he felt extremely guilty. Xiao Gui Zi's fate was entirely his fault.

Xiao Guizi said with a wry smile, "Your Highness, my life is yours! Promise me one thing: from now on... don't provoke Shen Mo again, okay?"

"Little Gui, I suddenly want to learn martial arts, I really want to!"

Chu Feng gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, feeling the pain of being beaten and unable to fight back.

So frustrating!

He secretly vowed that one day he would personally defeat Shen Mo.

Xiao Guizi immediately saw through his thoughts, so he smiled and nodded: "Although I am a cripple, my knowledge of martial arts is not lost. If Your Highness does not mind, I will teach you martial arts in the future."

"Okay, you teach me! No matter how hard or tiring it is, I'll persevere to the end!"

Xiao Guizi had never seen the Fourth Prince with such a resolute look in his eyes before. Perhaps this was actually a good thing for him.

The Imperial Study.

Chu Chengjing frowned and said, "What did you say? The Fourth Prince was beaten by Shen Mo?"

"It's absolutely true, and it was done in front of many palace maids and eunuchs."

Chu Chengjing quickly said, "Tell me the details of what happened."

Before the table, the eunuch who had delivered the message knelt down to report.

After listening, Chu Chengjing laughed heartily and said, "Good, well done!"

He naturally knew about the conflict between Shen Mo and Chu Feng's servant in the Cold Palace a few months ago. Since there had been no news for so long, he thought the two sides had reconciled.

Unexpectedly, it erupted today.

In fact, he had wanted to teach Chu Feng a lesson for a long time, but he was afraid that the Empress would hold a grudge, so he could only keep distancing himself from the boy and even find him annoying when he saw him.

Chu Chengjing sighed, "A doting mother often spoils her son! Shen Mo's slap finally vented my anger! But he was rather lenient with that Xiao Gui Zi; what difference would it make if he were killed?"

The eunuch who delivered the message lowered his head even further, not daring to say another word.

"According to the news from the Divine Arrest Bureau, he killed the thieves of the Bai Sha Sect and was appointed as a Gold Medal Patrolman. I should express my gratitude."

Chu Chengjing muttered to himself, then picked up a brush and began to write.

Soon, four powerful characters were written down: Thunderous Palm!

After stamping the calligraphy with his personal seal, Chu Chengjing said to the eunuch, "Go and give this piece of my calligraphy to Shen Mo, saying it is a reward for his appointment as a top-notch police officer."

"Yes, sir!"

The young eunuch took the calligraphy and was suddenly startled. What did these four characters have to do with being a top-notch constable?

It was clearly His Majesty who was using this opportunity to praise Shen Mo for the slap he delivered.

It's not hard to imagine.

When the news spreads, the harem will be in utter shock. Shen Mo, the living devil, slapped a prince and got away with it, but instead was awarded a calligraphy piece by His Majesty in recognition of his virtue.

The value of the saying "Better to offend the King of Hell than to offend Shenmo" continues to rise!
