"After losing Concubine Wan, the former emperor was depressed all day long. After more than a year, he fell ill and died. The empress made the little prince the emperor, and she became the current queen mother."

Zhou Shaobai was moved when he heard this, shook his head and asked, "It's really a sigh."

But Eunuch Xu ignored him, but suddenly narrowed his eyes, looked at Mu Ningzhi carefully, and said in surprise: "It's amazing, why did our family realize that your appearance is becoming more and more similar to Concubine Wan from back then. You know the moves of that person. What is your relationship with that person?"

Zhou Shaobai and Mu Ningzhi were stunned when they heard this, not knowing who Eunuch Xu was talking about, but Eunuch Xu suddenly became frightened and looked extremely horrified, as if he was seeing a ghost.

He shrank his body desperately into the corner, waved his hands desperately, and cried in a hoarse voice, "Don't ask me for my life, don't ask me to tell the truth, can't I tell the truth?"

Seeing that Eunuch Xu suddenly looked like crazy, both of them were shocked. Mu Ningzhi was about to speak, but Zhou Shaobai hurriedly said, "Wait, let him finish speaking."

"The Empress Dowager is the Empress Dowager who is jealous of the late emperor's favor for you. It was the poisonous plan she came up with to harm you! Don't look for me! They are all good things done by the Empress Dowager and Chang Ning's slut, and they have nothing to do with me!" Eunuch Xu shouted at the top of his lungs, and suddenly kowtowed to Mu Ningzhi desperately, which only hit the ground's golden bricks, and their foreheads were covered with blood, but they didn't care, but they were so scared that they cried and howled.

Seeing that blood was splattering on his forehead and flesh was blooming, Mu Ningzhi was very frightened and couldn't help but say, "Don't kowtow again, just talk well!"

But Eunuch Xu ignored the deaf ears and kowtowed desperately, as if the one hitting the gold bricks on the ground was not a human head made of flesh and blood, but a hammer that didn't know the pain. Although he was extremely weak now, he smashed the extremely hard gold bricks to pieces.

Zhou Shaobai suddenly felt something was wrong, so he hurriedly stepped forward and stopped Eunuch Xu: "Stop, don't kowtow again!"

He pulled Eunuch Xu up with force, but then Eunuch Xu suddenly turned his eyes and foamed at the mouth. He suddenly collapsed to the ground, and his limbs began to twitch.

Zhou Shaobai hurriedly tested his pulse, but felt that the pulse was very weak, almost like a ripples about to calm down, and couldn't help but speak, "Oh no!"

He quickly pushed the palace to Eunuch Xu and tried to pull the hateful and pitiful old eunuch back from the Hall of Hell. However, after working for a long time, Eunuch Xu closed his eyes and kicked his legs, and his breath was gone, and his life was gone.

This old eunuch has been through two dynasties, climbing upwards with his corpses until he gained the trust of the empress dowager. He has been in charge of the State Administration for many years, and his hands are stained with countless blood. Who is not afraid of it like a tiger in the court? Over the years, he has experienced all his glory and wealth and power, but in the end he can only die in an abandoned palace in such a panic and miserable way.

Zhou Shaobai sighed in his heart, shook his head and said, "I have tried my best to save you, but the King of Hell asked someone to die in the third update. Who dares to keep someone until the fifth update? Besides, you are full of evil in this life. Death like this is considered a bargain. I hope you will be a good person in the next life after you are reincarnated."

The two of them looked at Eunuch Xu's gradually stiff body and were speechless for a moment.

Zhou Shaobai sneaked into Mu Ningzhi, and saw that her eyes were staring at the ground, and suddenly opened her red lips and said, "What is that?"

He looked as he said, and saw a small porcelain bottle on the ground.

Zhou Shaobai and Mu Ningzhi squatted down and saw that there was a red label on the porcelain bottle with three words "Chiyuan Dan" written on it. Four words burned at the bottom of the small porcelain bottle. After careful look, there were four words "Qixia Danfang".

The two looked at each other. Before Eunuch Xu kowtowed, there was no porcelain bottle on the ground. It seemed that it was just when he kowtowed fiercely that the porcelain bottle fell out of his clothes.

Zhou Shaobai squatted down, carefully examined Eunuch Xu's body, looked at the porcelain bottle, and said, "Eunuch Xu died of internal elixir failure and excessive blood loss. He did not die of poisons. It was just a matter of course. Why did his internal elixir failure?"

Mu Ningzhi suddenly remembered the extraordinary courage of Eunuch Xu last night and said hurriedly: "Don't you think he was much better than usual last night? I fought with him during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he was no match for me at all. When I was fighting last night, although I was not as good as usual, he was indeed many times stronger than usual."

Zhou Shaobai nodded and said, "I also noticed that Miss Yu said the same thing."

He suddenly reached out his hand and picked up the small porcelain bottle and said, "Eunuch Xu's internal elixir surge and his later depletion are inseparable from this Chiyuan elixir. It seems that there are many secrets between Qixia Mountain and the Empress Dowager's party that are unknown."

Zhou Shaobai shook his head, put away the small porcelain bottle, and said to Mu Ningzhi: "Eunuch Xu has said so much just now, and what I care about the most is the last few words he said."

"He treats me as Concubine Wan who came to take his life. Could it be that my appearance is so similar to Concubine Wan back then?" Mu Ningzhi couldn't help but touch his cheek, "But, both the emperor and the Eunuch Xu, they all say that Concubine Wan and the baby girl were no longer alive, so how could I have anything to do with them?"

Thinking that his life experience was so confusing, Mu Ningzhi couldn't help but feel sad, just like this declining and desolate palace.

Seeing that her face was strange, Zhou Shaobai quickly comforted her: "It is very difficult to find out from a jade pendant to the current level. As long as you continue to investigate, there will be a time to clear the clouds and see the sun."

When Mu Ningzhi heard this, he sighed in his heart: Why can one word of his heart dissipate the depression in my heart? I feel so relieved?

She looked at the gloomy and luxurious palace again and couldn't help but think: I wonder if anyone had ever given her this feeling?

In the Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager lay on the bedside, and she still carefully dressed up, showing a graceful and luxurious style.

However, just by looking closely, you can easily see that the long hair that was nourished by various secret recipes was so black and white that it was mottled. It turned out that the Queen Mother turned white overnight.

"The Emperor is here!"

With a rumor, the emperor stepped into the hall.

The Empress Dowager ignored the news and still lay on the bed, as if she had not noticed the emperor's arrival.

"Mother, why did you see me, but you didn't even say hello?" The emperor smiled and walked closer. Someone had already brought a chair for him to sit down.

With a "slam" sound, the emperor shook his folding fan, and under his sword eyebrows, two sharp eyes as sharp as eagles and falcons were staring directly at the empress dowager, as if he could see through people.

The Empress Dowager didn't look at the emperor. The corners of her mouth did not bend any curves, but said lightly: "At this point, what else can the emperor and the Ai family say? The Ai family has been in a twilight year, and in a moment, they may go to meet the late emperor. But I don't know how he would criticize the Ai family for not discipline the emperor when he saw what the emperor did."

The eunuchs beside the emperor changed their faces, but the emperor burst into laughter.

He laughed for a long time, and was so happy that he couldn't help but pat his thighs and pats it again and again, as if he had heard an extremely interesting joke.
