Seeing this, Ying Gao was puzzled, but he had no choice but to hurry up and follow.

As he climbed to the corner, he saw the little guy panting heavily, waving at him, "Take a break."

Ying Gao stepped forward and picked up the little one, saying, "You point the way, and I'll lead you."

The little guy's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered a new continent. "Yes! It can be done like that!"

He took on the role of commander in Ying Gao's arms.

Turning past the garden, passing the long corridor, and walking through the lake garden with its artificial hills and flowing water, we headed towards the inner hall.

The further Ying Gao walked, the more familiar the road seemed to him.

"This seems to be the way to Xixue Palace?"

He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The little guy ignored him and continued pointing the way.

Finally, with the little guy's guidance, the two found a corner of the wall.

Ying Gao had been to this place several times and recognized it at a glance. He looked at the little guy with a puzzled expression and asked, "So this is Xixue's palace. What are you doing here?"

The little guy climbed down from his arms, walked to the wall, and then took out two hollow wooden tubes.

He then pressed one end of the wooden tube against the wall and attached the other end to his ear, using it as a listening device.

Ying Gao frowned. "You're eavesdropping?"

The little guy shook the wooden tube in his hand at him, gesturing for him to come over and join him.

Ying Gao shook his head and refused, "This is impolite, it won't do!"

The little guy frowned and looked at him.

Scholars are so rigid!

But to get him to come over, the little guy patiently explained, "This isn't eavesdropping. I just put the wooden tube here and played with it by holding it to my ear. But if there are sounds coming through, then don't blame me."

He wasn't very fluent in speaking, and speaking so much at once made him breathless.

Ying Gao looked at him and said, "That's just sophistry!"

The little guy sighed and said, "Does that mean if I open my purse to play in the street and money falls in by itself, it's considered stealing?"

Ying Gao thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly, "That doesn't count."

The little guy shrugged, "Isn't that enough?"

Ying Gao frowned and pondered for a moment, then muttered, "It seems that's indeed the case."

The little guy sighed, "You all understand now, what are you standing there for? Come and play with the wooden cylinder!"

Ying Gao stepped forward, took the round wooden tube, hesitated for a moment, and then started playing with it, just like the little guy.

Just as I applied it, a familiar voice came, "How's the aphrodisiac you were asked to find coming along?"

He recognized Bai Xixue's voice immediately.

"Your Majesty's command is my duty!"

The eunuch, with a fawning smile on his face, presented a small jade bottle with both hands.

Bai Xixue's gaze fell on the jade bottle. "I will go to see the Second Young Master tomorrow. Find an opportunity to add the Aphrodisiac Powder to his food."

The eunuch frowned, and asked worriedly, "Won't you be in danger, Holy Maiden?"

Bai Xixue's eyes were indifferent. "Don't worry, the aphrodisiac is just to stimulate his animalistic nature and put him in a state where his yang energy is easily depleted. When his animalistic desires overwhelm him, I will use Gu to absorb all his yang energy. At that time, he will become a dried-up corpse."

As she spoke, she turned the jade bottle in her hand, a smile unconsciously creeping onto her lips. "Once we use his yang energy to create an incurable poison, even that dog emperor will die!"

Hearing that familiar voice, Ying Gao's heart trembled.

My brother is right, she really did appear here to kill me and Father!
