He is unworthy of his position!

These four characters mean that Crown Prince Chu Tian is morally deficient and unworthy to continue sitting in the position of Crown Prince.

Shadow gave Shen Mo a dagger.

Shen Mo then used his advice as a weapon to retaliate against Chu Tian, ​​and the damage caused by this attack was far greater than that of the dagger.

"The traitor!"

Chu Chengjing suddenly gripped Chu Tian's neck tightly and said coldly, "Wu Xiong died at the hands of the Dwarf Rakshasa of the Bai Sha Sect. Does this have anything to do with you?"

He didn't care about Wu Xiong's death, but he cared about the country. The Crown Prince's collusion with the Bai Sha Sect, a treacherous and harmful sect, was something he could not tolerate.

Chu Tian's face turned red, but he offered no resistance, only managing to utter a strained voice from his throat:

"Kill...kill me, so I can reunite with my mother..."

Chu Chengjing felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his heart, making it hard to breathe, and then the hand released its grip.

Chu Tian fell to the ground, staring blankly at him, and repeated, "Kill me..."

"Shen Mo is right, you are unworthy of your position!"

Chu Chengjing took a few deep breaths, and after regaining his composure, pointed at him and said, "From this day forward, I hereby abolish your position as Crown Prince and reclaim all power from you. You will now obediently remain a useless prince, just like that useless Chu Feng!"

Chu Tian did not respond, and walked outside like a walking corpse, giving Shen Mo a deep look as he passed by.

Thanks to Shen Mo, his carefully cultivated image and the hard-won position of Crown Prince were all lost.

"Your Highness, is that eunuch alright?"

Shen Mo knew that Chu Tian hated him to the core, so he didn't mind adding fuel to the fire.

This completely blew things up.

"I kill you!!!"

Chu Tian's negative emotions erupted, and he could no longer suppress them. He raised his fist and swung it at Shen Mo.

Shen Mo stood motionless, adopting an attitude of accepting whatever beatings or scolding he might receive.

The fist finally landed on Chu Chengjing's palm. He stepped in front of Shen Mo to take the punch, and coldly rebuked, "Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough? Get out!"

Immediately, he kicked it.

Chu Tian was kicked out, but after getting up, he gritted his teeth and left without looking back.

Chu Chengjing sighed, "What a misfortune for my family! Fortunately, you are a eunuch and one of my men, otherwise I would truly be ashamed."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will not reveal a single word to anyone," Shen Mo immediately assured him.

Chu Chengjing suddenly changed the subject: "The woman you saved, does she really resemble the Empress?"

"Very similar!"

Shen Mo answered truthfully, while his mind raced, wondering if the emperor had been rebuffed by Xiao Yishu and wanted to find a substitute to distract himself from his feelings.

But then, in the next second...

Chu Tian said coldly, "This matter must not be leaked, otherwise I will become a laughing stock among all the people of Daqian! I order you to get rid of that woman now, and also that adopted son of Wu Xiong who knows about this."

Shen Mo's expression froze instantly.

He saved the woman intending to use her as a witness, but it turned out to be completely useless and instead aroused the emperor's murderous intent.

Chu Chengjing frowned: "You're unwilling?"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to serve you with utmost loyalty, but Wu Xiong's adopted son is unaware of this. This will is still intact after being painted..."

Chu Chengjing interrupted him, waving his hand and saying, "That's not important! Since he's Wu Xiong's adopted son, there's a possibility he knows. What if it leaks out from his mouth later?"

Shen Mo replied, "Your subject knows what to do."

After leaving the Imperial Garden, I rode out of the palace.

He had been thinking about this problem and quickly came up with a solution.

What to do? Just let it be!

The emperor ordered him to kill the two men, meaning that all he needed to do was make them disappear from the world, and he wouldn't pay much attention to such insignificant people afterward.

Jufu Inn.

As soon as Shen Mo stepped inside, the waiter came up to him and said, "Sir, a young master left you a letter and asked me to pass it on to you."

"letter?"

He opened the letter, which was sealed with lacquer. It read: "Eunuch Shen, by the time you read this letter, I will already be on my way out of the capital. If fate allows, we will meet again in the martial world, and I will treat you to a drink!"

Shen Mo couldn't help but laugh.

As expected of Wu Xiong's adopted son, he shares the same sense of vigilance even in times of peace, and even their way of speaking is exactly the same.

This saved a lot of trouble.

However, how to safely send He Cailian out of the capital without attracting attention has become a new problem.

"Waiter, bring me a pot of 'Red Beauty's Intoxication' and a couple of other dishes." Shen Mo decided to stop thinking about the difficult problem and fill his stomach first. He had been busy all night and was starving.

"Alright!"

The waiter went to give the order, and soon the wine and dishes were brought out from the kitchen.

As Shen Mo drank and ate, deep in thought, an elderly woman with white hair and wrinkles sat down opposite him. She forced a fawning smile and said, "Young man, I've been starving all night. Could I beg for some food?"

"Get out of here!" the waiter urged, stepping forward. "Where did this beggar woman come from? Get lost!"

"You must learn to respect the elderly!"

The old woman snorted coldly and gently pushed the waiter's wrist with her palm.

The waiter was pushed to the ground, rubbing his backside and grimacing as he said, "Ouch! You old woman, how can you be so strong?"

Seeing this, the other employees in the shop gathered around.

"Wait!" Shen Mo raised his hand and then said to the shopkeeper, "Bring a few more good dishes and a big bowl of white rice."

The waiters then dispersed, and the beaten waiter had no choice but to accept his bad luck.

The old woman chuckled, realizing she'd been recognized. She sat down next to Shen Mo and whispered, "I helped you so much, and you didn't even offer to treat me to a meal? I had to come looking for you?"

This old woman was none other than Qin Jiangyue; she could fool others but not Shen Mo.

Shen Mo said helplessly, "I don't have your contact information, how can I invite you to dinner?"

"Hey!"

Qin Jiangyue flipped her palm over, revealing two plump silkworms in her hand. "These are called mother-child worms, and they can live for two years! As long as you and I are still in the capital, if you feed them a drop of your own blood, my mother worm will sense it, and I can find you through the mother worm's senses."

"Gu worms?"

Shen Mo found it quite novel, as it was his first time encountering Gu worms. Considering that Qin Jiangyue came from Miao territory, it wasn't surprising.

Qin Jiangyue placed the smaller one into a small jade bottle, then took a red thread and tied the bottle together to make a necklace. She personally put it around Shen Mo's neck and instructed him, "The mother and child worms don't just eat mulberry leaves. You must feed them your own blood and crushed mulberry leaves together. This step is called 'recognizing the master'!"

"That's so troublesome?"

Shen Mo was a little disgusted.

Qin Jiangyue's eyes widened as she said, "You think this is too much trouble? It only eats once every seven days, not every day. Do you know how precious these mother and child worms are?"

Shen Mo stopped arguing, but when he saw the lifelike old man mask on Qin Jiangyue's face, he suddenly had an idea.

"What are you doing? You don't actually react to my face, do you?" Qin Jiangyue panicked, wondering if he had some kind of weird fetish.

Shen Mo rolled his eyes and said irritably, "A woman spouting such vulgarities, lend me a man and a woman's mask, I have a use for them!"

"I see, you should have said so earlier."

As Qin Jiangyue spoke, she took out a stack of paper-thin masks from her bosom, selected two from them, and handed them over.
