Dual-wielding! 100x proficiency, I'll grind my way to godhood!

The hour of Hai (9-11 PM) has passed.

Inside the main hall of the Star-Picking Tower, a group of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, waiting to watch the spectacle, stretched their necks out like giraffes.

The lights in the seventh-floor courtesan's room were off, but no one came out.

The lobby fell silent for a moment, then erupted into chaos the next second.

"Still not out? It's past midnight, and they're still inside?!"

"Outrageous! Miss Yanci never lets anyone stay overnight, never!"

"It's over... Our beauty from the capital has been captured today..."

The scene was filled with wailing. Some people were slamming their fists on the table, while others were chugging their drinks. Everyone was so dejected, as if their families had suffered a terrible disaster.

"My dear Yanci!"

The person next to him immediately retorted:

"Why are you crying? When did it become your turn?"

"I'm just upset, can't I even feel unhappy?"

The madam's expression was extremely complex, a mixture of surprise, joy, and disbelief.

Surprisingly, Yan Ci, who was aloof and never approachable, actually let a man stay overnight.

The good thing is that this newcomer, Young Master Chen, can even suppress powerful figures like the Third Young Master of the Qin family, so we can make a hefty profit from him!

Chen Mo upstairs was completely oblivious to the commotion below.

At this moment, he is being gentle and tender.

……

Inside the sleeping tent, the candles had long since burned out, leaving only a dim, soft light in the room.

Having just tasted love, Yan Ci was already sore all over and utterly exhausted.

At this moment, she nestled obediently in Chen Mo's arms, her eyes brimming with undisguised sweetness and happiness.

Her shoulder, exposed outside the blankets, bore faint, ambiguous red marks. Upon noticing them, she shyly shrank back under the covers.

She slightly raised her head to look at Chen Mo, and the expression in her eyes completely changed.

Those were the same eyes as Shangguan Hong and the others, overflowing with deep affection from the bottom of their hearts, so intense it was almost overflowing.

The unique characteristic of cultivating both spiritual and physical realms ensures that the bonds of affection remain forever.

From that moment on, the woman's heart belonged to him completely, without reservation or any reservations.

He raised his hand, gently pinched Yan Ci's soft cheek, and slowly spoke.

"Have you heard any commotion from the palace lately?"

Yan Ci's cheeks flushed red, and her ears instantly burned. She thought he wanted to hear some romantic gossip.

She replied softly:

"What kind of matters does the young master wish to inquire about? I have been the most beautiful courtesan at the Star-Picking Pavilion for two years. Many powerful and influential people and officials from all walks of life in the capital often come to visit me, and I have indeed heard quite a few secrets from the palace and the court."

Chen Mo's tone was flat:

"Tell me about the emperor."

Yan Ci was slightly taken aback, then began to think seriously.

"A while ago, an imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Academy came to see me. After a few drinks, he opened up and told me a lot of secrets."

"He said that in the past ten years or so, the emperor has successively appointed new empresses and taken in many concubines, resulting in a significant increase in the number of women in the harem."

"But strangely enough, neither the Empress nor any of the concubines ever showed any signs of pregnancy, and none of them ever gave birth to a child."

"The imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Academy have taken turns entering the palace to treat the patients, but they are all helpless. Failure to cure them is a capital offense, and several imperial physicians have already been executed."

"But the Emperor still refused to give up and issued an imperial edict to search for famous doctors throughout the country to come to the palace for consultation. Now everyone in the Imperial Hospital is in danger, living in fear every day and unable to sleep at night."

"By the end, the imperial physician was so frightened that he was completely sober, trembling all over, and terrified."

"How is the imperial physician now?"

Chen Mo asked.

Yan Ci pouted.

"He's still alive, but he's completely terrified. I heard he's now on duty at the palace and carries nitroglycerin pills with him every day, fearing that disaster might strike one day."

After saying that, she snuggled affectionately against Chen Mo, her tone tinged with doubt.

"I knew something was wrong right then and there. If a concubine in the palace couldn't conceive, they'd kill the imperial physician if the illness couldn't be cured. This disease must be incredibly difficult to treat!"

She simply considered it an absurd and tragic event in the palace and didn't think much of it.

Chen Mo didn't reply, but he already understood.

He then asked:

"How many children does His Majesty have in total?"

Yan Ci was completely dumbfounded; the topic had jumped too quickly and was completely unrelated.

But she never asked for the reasons; whenever Chen Mo asked, she would think about it seriously.

She counted on her fingers for a while:

"Probably a few dozen, but no one has checked the exact number."

As soon as she finished speaking, her curiosity grew even stronger.

The young master first asked if there were no children in the harem, and then asked about the number of princes and princesses. What secrets are hidden in this?

She couldn't understand, and obediently kept quiet, looking up at Chen Mo: "What else does Young Master want to know? I'll tell you everything I know."

"Go to sleep first."

Chen Mo smiled faintly and didn't press the matter further.

Yan Ci waited for him to continue asking questions, but nothing happened after a long time.

She was so tired today that her eyelids were too heavy to open. She snuggled closer to Chen Mo, her voice soft and muffled.

"Young master... I'll tell you the story slowly tomorrow..."

After saying this, her breathing gradually became even and long, and she fell into a deep sleep.

Chen Mo carefully tucked the blanket around her, then opened his eyes and quietly gazed at the top of the tent.

All the scattered clues in my mind connected and became clear at that moment.

The secret that Ru Hua told him before she died suddenly surfaced in his mind.

The current emperor is a eunuch.

He had repeatedly deduced this secret by combining the two unique skills, and it was absolutely true.

When the emperor first cultivated the Nine Yin Manual, he had already secured his throne and had many children, so he was naturally willing to pay this price.

Therefore, even though his cultivation had resulted in physical disabilities, he still had dozens of children after ascending the throne.

Even after achieving great success in his cultivation, he never stopped his efforts to appoint empresses and take in concubines.

It wasn't about lust at all; it was all a show put on for the world to see.

The greatest fear of an emperor who is completely incapable of human conduct is for the world to know the truth.

Therefore, the harem must be full, the rules must be complete, and no flaws can be left unchecked.

This explains why none of the dozens of concubines in the imperial harem had conceived in the past ten years.

How could a eunuch's harem possibly produce offspring?

Those imperial physicians who worked tirelessly to treat patients and were ultimately killed innocently were truly wronged beyond belief.

Having figured out all the key points, a sharp glint suddenly appeared in Chen Mo's eyes.

Is the imperial court still recruiting renowned doctors from all over the country to enter the palace?

His medical skills have reached a state of perfection; no one in the world can surpass him.

There's no need to worry about being exposed, because no one can see through this scheme anyway.

The imperial city was heavily guarded, and ordinary people had no way to get close.

But the Imperial Hospital actively opened its doors to the world!

Recruiting renowned doctors requires rigorous selection and assessment.

He only needed to use his reputation as a divine physician to take the exam, and with his superb medical skills, he could openly and legitimately enter the Imperial Medical Academy.

The Imperial Medical Academy is located in the heart of the Imperial City. Stepping into the Imperial Medical Academy means getting close to the women beside the emperor and to the complete version of the "Nine Yin Manual"!

There was no need to lay the groundwork from the beginning; everything went smoothly.

A confident smile appeared on Chen Mo's lips.

The emperor is summoning imperial physicians?

He is the best imperial physician in the world!

This secret plan of the imperial city is readily available and effortless.
