Chapter 75
"There is a thing called Xuechi, which alone is a great tonic. If it is mixed with another medicinal material, it can become a colorless, odorless, chronic poison that ordinary doctors can't detect. It will slowly erode your body. situation, causing irreparable damage.”

After a pause, Cang Xun said in a deep tone: "Snow chilies are expensive and rare, and women take them to beautify their skin. Therefore, they are mined frequently and gradually disappeared. In recent decades, if you want to say that in Qingxiao, where can you find them... only the imperial palace doesn't think otherwise. .”

"Imperial Palace..." The black pupils suddenly shrank, a little confused.

"Now, your wings are growing and you are no longer a weak child. Since you are still thinking about what happened more than ten years ago, I have no right to stop you. You don't have to take detours. It just so happens that there is an opportunity for you."

The man stood at the entrance of the secret passage and waited, giving him space to think and make decisions.

In just a moment, the boy got up and crossed, stepping into the darkness without hesitation.

The two went down to the ground floor one after the other, and an old man in his 50s was sitting in the middle of the stone room.

The strange thing is that the skin on the face is much smoother than that of people of the same age, and there is no beard around the mouth, and the back is habitually bent.

As soon as he heard footsteps, he immediately struggled fiercely.

Cang Xun didn't move the thick cloth around his eyes, only pulled the knot in his mouth.

"You, who are you! What do you want to do!" The voice was high-pitched and thin, and the expression was quite calm, which showed that he had seen the world.

"Chen Eunuch, as long as you answer the questions honestly, the money in your luggage can be multiplied by ten times." Stepping on the edge of the chair, he quickly pulled out the short dagger, and scraped the cold back of the knife against the old face. It's a lie, the thing in your mouth will be cut off for you."

This kind of low-level threat is usually handed over to his subordinates, and Cang Xun unexpectedly felt that the taste of going into battle in person is not bad.

"Don't, don't." The old man hurriedly shook his head, "I'm just a small person, I have been out of favor for many years, and I know very little about it!"

"More than ten years ago, how did the celebrities around the emperor get into such a field?" Can't help teasing.

Returning home alone without an escort, the brothers almost thought they had received the wrong order.

These words hit the old eunuch's sore spot, he forgot the environment for a while, and said angrily:
"It's not the castrate surnamed Yang, who has a glib tongue and a variety of tricks, coaxing the Sacred Heart to be happy. I forgot how hard our family has been working hard for many years. The service in front of the saddle and in the back of the horse, can be said to be inseparable..."

"Sixteen or seventeen years ago, what happened in Xuanwuhou's Mansion?" Cang Xun suddenly interrupted, glanced at Chu Mu's calm face, and added, "It's about the eldest son of Marquis Chu."

Eunuch Chen was startled, shrank his neck, and said in a low voice, "Who are you..."

The hand holding the sharp blade exerted a little force, and a white mark was drawn.

"Ouch." The old eunuch whispered in pain.

"The opportunity is only given once..."

"Say it! I'll say it! This matter is not considered secretive, but no one is gossiping about it. After all...it's disgraceful and unnecessary."

The three words "disgraceful" caused the phoenix eyes to narrow and gloomy.

Eunuch Chen swallowed, and said slowly:

"The Marquis of Chu has made great military exploits, and he has time to marry a lady in his [-]s. Although this lady's family background is in decline, she is indeed a serious official daughter, and her name is Nan Xu'er."

"Not long after the wedding, there was a war on the frontier, and Lord Hou led the army to go out. He couldn't go back to the mansion all the year round."

"It coincided with the Empress Dowager's birthday, and the Marquis of Chu was not around, so Mrs. Chu had to enter the palace alone. For some reason, she bumped into the drunken sage in the flower garden. She was astonished at first sight, and immediately went to the side hall..."

Boom!The loud sound of the heavy object falling to the ground made the old eunuch shut his mouth in horror.

"Go on."

Another young man's voice came, revealing a gloomy and cold voice.
