Starting with being handed over to the Imperial Concubine, building a family with a thousand-year hi

Yu Tian quickly came out from the gatehouse and called out to Su Mu, "He's waiting for you at the gate!"

"oh?"

Su Mu slowly stood up and quickly returned to the gatekeeper's post at the library.

Upon seeing Li Lianqing sit down before him, Su Chen bowed and said, "Lord Li, I pay my respects!"

In his memory, Li Lianqing was a gentle eunuch who had a good impression of all the young eunuchs in the palace.

Li Lianqing is a master-level expert whose cultivation has reached the third rank.

The Great Qian Emperor, who established his dynasty through military force!

A eunuch without martial arts skills is at most a fourth-rank eunuch.

"Little Su, it's a blessing in disguise that you survived this time!"

Li Lianqing smiled slightly and reached out to help Shen Tian up.

"Luckily, Eunuch Li applied medicine to my wounds in time; otherwise, I would have been dead long ago!"

Su Mu showed a look of gratitude.

Li Lianqing always treated him very well.

After being hit with a hundred sand nails, Li Lianqing had someone treat his wounds, and then ordered the Imperial Kitchen to bring him food.

"Staying in the library isn't bad. Although I don't expect to make a name for myself, I can still live a leisurely life!"

Li Lianqing didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "I've come here today to investigate the matter of the three eunuchs who suddenly died in the Imperial Kitchen! As for why I'm here, there's a rumor that Geng Ming of the Imperial Kitchen went to the study and then attacked Hu Zhichun!"

"Geng Minglai has come to return a book!"

Without a second thought, Su Mu continued, "He seemed very unhappy on his way here, and he was muttering to himself!"

"oh?"

Li Lianqing frowned and asked, "Did you hear what he said?"

"It's not very clear, it sounds like someone is complaining!"

Su Mu replied seriously, "I think I heard that he was always talking about filial piety and always making me do things."

"Hu Zhichun has become arrogant and overbearing, and his actions have gone too far!"

Li Lianqing's gaze fell on Yu Tian beside Su Mu: "This boy possesses spiritual energy; he should have already broken through to the martial arts realm. Very good!"

Yu Tian didn't have a treasure like the Concealing Breath Pearl, but Li Lianqing was a Grandmaster after all, and she could sense the other party's aura.

"The 'Martial Arts Classic' is in the library. I had him study it over and over again whenever he had free time, trying to practice it. I never expected he would be so talented and actually master it!"

Su Mu had no way of telling Jiang Chen the truth.

"That's good. If you can take another step forward, you can enter the Martial Arts Academy!"

Li Lianqing stood up from his chair and walked towards the door, saying, "These are chaotic times. You should stay in the library and avoid causing trouble!"

"yes!"

Su Mu escorted her to the outside of the courtyard and watched Li Lianqing leave, accompanied by two personal eunuchs.

Two days later, Cheng Ping'an arrived at the Sutra Repository.

He informed Su Mu of the deaths of Yang Mao, Hu Zhichun, and Geng Ming, thus bringing the matter to a close.

As for what they found out, Cheng Ping'an didn't know. After all, he had a grudge against Yang Mao, and he didn't want to ask any more questions.

There are many affairs to attend to in the palace!

They were just some insignificant eunuchs who couldn't cause any trouble. The nobles in the palace were also busy with important matters and had no time to bother with such trivialities!

No sooner had Cheng Ping'an left than Consort De arrived, accompanied by the Sixth Prince, Xiao Jingye.

Xu Qian'er did not accompany them on this trip.

Consort De instructed Su Mu to read with the Sixth Prince for an hour, and then had the Sixth Prince take Yutian to play in the backyard.

On the first floor, there were only Consort De and Su Mu.

"Have you investigated the matters I confessed to?"

When Consort De spoke, she maintained her dignified and elegant demeanor, but there was not a trace of hope on her beautiful face.

Clearly, she already had a guess in her mind.

"I wonder if this matter is over!"

Su Mu remained calm. "Xu Qian'er said she has no connection with the General's Mansion, and we don't know who assassinated her!"

"Just tell her straight, she'll definitely deny it!"

The Consort De was somewhat displeased: "You should try another method. After all, you and her are such good friends!"

"After I came here, not only did I treat her well, but she did the same!"

Su Mu replied, "That's good."

"Not only to her, but to me too!"

Consort De emphasized the word "master" to him, clearly warning him not to forget his status.

Every time Consort De came here, she could clearly feel that Xiao Suzi had changed!

The biggest difference is that she is no longer as humble as she used to be!

Even Xiao Suzi didn't dare to look her in the eye!

This time, Consort De invited Xiao Suzi for two reasons: first, to confirm whether Xu Qian'er was indeed from the General's Mansion, and second, to test her abilities.

He wanted to see if Xiao Su could remain as loyal as ever!

"I am merely a lowly eunuch punished to serve in the library; I have failed in my duties. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Su Mu remained calm and said indifferently.

"You're smart to know what's good for you!"

Consort De glanced at him sideways, a sharp glint in her eyes. "I've always been a person of great loyalty and affection, and I hope you are the same! If not, or if you're still holding grudges about the past, it will only do you harm!"

"You're overthinking it!"

Su Mu chuckled.

He naturally understood that the "past events" Consort De referred to were the hundred iron rods from back then. However, Consort De couldn't have imagined that the one who was truly beaten was the original owner of this body, "Little Su Zi," not the Su Mu who now occupied it!

Perhaps due to the recent unfavorable situation for her, Consort De's attitude has also undergone a subtle change. She seems more anxious and assertive than before.

"snort!"

Seeing Su Mu's unyielding expression, Consort De scoffed, turned around, and left the library with the Sixth Prince, Xiao Jingye.

"In the end, he's just someone who's been spoiled for a long time."

Watching Consort De and Xiao Jingye depart, Su Mu gently shook his head in the courtyard.

I transmigrated here and became a lowly eunuch, which is already stifling enough. Do you still want me to continue being a subservient servant?

Don't even think about it!

Even if I wanted to, this body of mine wouldn't allow it.

Once I become a grandmaster and regain my manhood, I will make you kneel down and call me "master"!

"Father, what did you say to Consort De just now? Why did she look so upset when she left?" Yutian asked, walking to the door with some confusion.

"Women's tempers are unpredictable, that's normal." Su Mu strolled back down the corridor and continued to bask in the sun.

The warm winter sun is a rare treat; we shouldn't let it go to waste!

Yutian stood at the door, watching Su Mu's back, and sighed inwardly: His adoptive father was really bold to speak like that.

"My adoptive father was no ordinary eunuch."

"He was well-versed in martial arts cultivation, and the tea he gave me every day contained extraordinary spiritual power."

"Cheng Ping'an must have also benefited from this, which is why he was able to break through to the Innate Realm in such a short time and be selected to join the Martial Arts Academy."
