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

Li Zhaoxue nodded with a slight smile.

Just like a newlywed couple who have grown into an old married couple, the excitement and shyness between them have gradually faded, replaced by a gentle and enduring affection.

Perhaps he had been drinking.

Tonight, she felt quite excited and expectant.

"Zhaoxue, do you remember when we first met?"

Silence was like peeling an onion, revealing her layer by layer.

Li Zhaoxue gently helped Shen Mo undress, nodding and saying, "Of course I remember! Luckily it was you I encountered back then. If I had been assigned to another eunuch... I can't even imagine it."

The two exchanged a knowing smile.

Looking back, Shen Mo was filled with emotion and said, "At that time, I felt completely overwhelmed, being held firmly in Wu De's grasp, and I was trembling with fear that I might make a wrong move."

"Fortunately, we've pulled through now."

Li Zhaoxue's eyes were full of admiration. From a lowly eunuch in the cold palace, he had climbed step by step to become one of the five powerful eunuchs in the harem. How could others imagine the hardships he had endured?

Shen Mo smiled without saying a word.

He may seem to be living a glamorous life now, but he is actually surrounded by dangers. Once his identity as a fake eunuch is exposed, he will die, not to mention the resentment he will incur from the Crown Prince and the Bai Sha Sect.

However, today is Li Zhaoxue's birthday, a joyous occasion, so there's no need to worry her about these things.

"By the way, what were you and Ruyan whispering about just now?"

Li Zhaoxue was still very curious.

Shen Mo didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "Zhaoxue, what do you think is my biggest regret?"

"My physical disability is naturally a source of regret for me."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Li Zhaoxue's eyes.

She so wished that Shen Mo could be a real man, so that she could truly belong to him.

From their initial transaction to their current life together, she no longer asks for anything else, but she finds it hard to let go of this matter.

"Then tonight, let this regret be made up! This is my gift."

Shen Mo pressed his forehead against hers, so close that their breaths seemed to collide.

Li Zhaoxue's pupils dilated, her body trembling with excitement. "Quick! Tell me this isn't a dream!"

"I will prove that this is not a dream."

With a slight shift in his mind, Shen Mo proved that he was a man.

Li Zhaoxue closed her eyes, tears of joy welling up in her eyes, and said in a choked voice:

"Silence, kiss me."

Their lips met, inseparable.

As the saying goes: "How much sorrow can one have? It's like a eunuch visiting a brothel." Having mastered the Nine Yang Technique, who says eunuchs aren't romantic?

I don't know how much time has passed.

Li Zhaoxue collapsed weakly in his arms, murmuring, "Shen Mo, I can no longer tell if this is a dream or reality. If it's a dream, I hope I never wake up."

"I'm sorry, I was delayed for various reasons and put you last in the queue." Shen Mo looked at the beauty in his arms and said apologetically.

Li Zhaoxue was slightly taken aback, then shook her head with a wry smile: "So that's how it is! But what does it matter? As long as you don't keep it from me forever, what does the order of events matter? Come to think of it, I was the first among them to know you."

Shen Mo felt greatly relieved and was about to say something.

"However, I need compensation!"

"What compensation?"

"Please give me your favor five more times!"

Shen Mo's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. Seeing the expectation in Li Zhaoxue's eyes, he steeled his heart and decided to go all out!

The next day is dawn.

Steward Shen leaned against the wall and went back to his residence, where he slept until noon before waking up.

A young eunuch knocked on the door and said, "Chief Eunuch Shen, someone from the imperial kitchen is here to ask what you would like for lunch?"

Unlike ordinary eunuchs.

The meals of the five chief eunuchs were specially prepared by the imperial kitchen, and each meal could be customized, which symbolized the imperial power's reward to these five eunuch leaders.

"Stir-fried shrimp with chives, braised pork kidney with eucommia, braised turtle, and a pigeon soup with goji berries," Shen Mo replied from behind the door, his voice deep and powerful.

"I understand."

Shen Mo yawned, sprang to his feet, changed into his training clothes, and began cultivating in the courtyard.

at the same time.

In a courtyard of the palace, Chu Feng stood in a horse stance with his arms outstretched. He had been holding this position for half an hour, and his face was flushed red, clearly nearing his limit.

Xiao Guizi said with pity, "Your Highness, please rest!"

"No, I'll hold on for another quarter of an hour!" Chu Feng replied through gritted teeth.

Xiao Guizi's eyes were full of relief.

"Fourth brother, this is truly rare!"

Chu Tian pushed open the door and entered. Upon seeing this scene, he looked as if he had seen a ghost and couldn't help but clap his hands.

Xiao Guizi immediately knelt down, but Chu Feng remained in a horse stance and said, "Brother, I am currently practicing martial arts, so please forgive me for not being able to entertain you."

"It's alright! I just heard that a courtesan has just arrived at the Eight Treasures Pavilion. She's said to be from Jiangnan, and her skin is so tender it looks like you could squeeze water out of it."

Chu Tian deliberately tested him, but Chu Feng shook his head and said, "Brother, I don't plan to go to the Eight Treasures Pavilion for a while."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Chu Tian's eyes as he said, "That's a pity. I've heard about what happened between you and Shen Mo. I was planning to host a dinner at the Eight Treasures Restaurant to mediate between you two."

"No need! You're all afraid of him, but I'm not. I'll defeat him through my own efforts!"

Chu Feng was almost at his limit, but when he heard Shen Mo's name, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Chu Tian frowned and said, "Fourth brother, why are you doing this? I'm not trying to protect Shen Mo, but Father didn't punish him afterwards. Why are you picking on a eunuch?"

"Brother, if there's nothing else, please make yourself at home."

Chu Feng's tone was displeased, assuming that Chu Tian had come as a mediator.

Chu Tian snorted coldly and left.

Outside the courtyard, a eunuch followed him like a shadow.

Chu Tian couldn't help but curse, "He's an idiot! He's a good-for-nothing playboy prince. Even if you gave him ten years, he still wouldn't be able to defeat Shen Mo. I think he's really been driven mad by Shen Mo."

He didn't come here this time to act as a lobbyist, of course.

The original plan was to invite both Chu Feng and Shen Mo out of the palace, then find an opportunity to kill Shen Mo and make Chu Feng the scapegoat.

Killing Shen Mo was easy; the difficult part was how to clean up the mess. Chu Feng already harbored deep hatred for Shen Mo, making him the perfect scapegoat.

But he was rejected?

In the past, Chu Feng, that useless prince, would never dare to refuse him, the crown prince, in the slightest.

"It wasn't because of the slap."

Shadow shook his head and said, "It must be because of that Xiao Guizi. Because of Shen Mo, Xiao Guizi's cultivation was destroyed."

"yes!"

Chu Tian sighed and said, "Why doesn't Shen Mo dare to kill that Xiao Guizi? If he did, I would have many schemes to use. Instead, we're stuck in this limbo."

The shadow fell silent.

He disagreed, and instead envied Xiao Gui Zi. Chu Feng, a master with such a temperament, was actually willing to endure the hardships of martial arts training for Xiao Gui Zi.

If I were to die one day, would Chu Tian be as devoted to me as Chu Feng?

"Shadow, what are you thinking about?" Chu Feng asked, sensing that he had something to say.

"No, it's nothing."

Shadow shook his head, swallowing the question.
