What kind of elixir is this?
Although the pill has distinct patterns and a golden hue, who knows if the color was dyed or formed naturally?
However, the opponent's technique was quite good; each pill was plump and had a faint golden sheen.
That's enough to fool those ordinary people.
The one he holds is the smallest of them all.
However, the fact that the emperor was willing to share the elixir with him is enough to prove how much the emperor values him.
"Your Majesty, are you really going to take this elixir?"
A young eunuch said.
The eunuch was not very old, looking to be around thirteen or fourteen years old. He had a pleasing, round face that made people feel happy just looking at him.
"So you want to take some pills too?"
"No, that's not what I meant," the eunuch quickly waved his hand. "However, in my humble opinion, this kind of elixir should be avoided—"
Be careful what you say.
Ning Hong then reached out and pinched the eunuch's face hard.
"In the palace, there are some things that can be said and some things that cannot be said. Even here with me, you have to be careful."
"Thank you for your guidance, Your Excellency."
His face was red from being pinched, but he clearly understood that the Ninth Prince was instructing him, not really blaming him.
"You're a promising young man. What's your name?" Ning Hong nodded.
"You little lackey, Little Fish."
"From now on, you will serve me by my side!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiaoyu was overjoyed, and her face flushed even more.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Every little eunuch in the palace looked at him as if he were a ghost.
There is respect, but more than that, there is fear.
"This servant is not afraid. This servant's life was given to me by Your Majesty. Even if Your Majesty wanted this servant to die, this servant would be willing."
The little fish grinned as it spoke.
Just like Ning Hongze was bullied by some people when she first entered the palace because of her looks, Xiaoyu was the same.
Xiao Yu's appearance is not as refined as Ning Hong's, but he is cute and therefore more easily bullied.
The Ninth Prince saved him twice. The first time was when he was framed and almost beaten to death.
It was a passing official who saved him and cleared his name.
The second time, an old eunuch took a liking to him and insisted that he serve him.
The eunuch's eyes gleamed with ill intent; anyone with eyes could see what he was up to.
Although the little fish is young, it has seen quite a lot of the world.
He naturally refused.
But the old eunuch was more or less a manager, and he had his own people under him, so it was not something Xiaoyu could easily refuse.
It was only after the Ninth Prince spoke up that the old eunuch temporarily abandoned the idea.
Little Fish remained trembling with fear, terrified that the old eunuch might return.
As a result, three days later, the old eunuch was killed by the Ninth Prince.
It is said that he was drunk and mistook the Ninth Prince for a eunuch, and tried to take advantage of him, which is why the Ninth Prince killed him.
Upon hearing the news, Xiaoyu was so happy she cried tears of joy.
Of course, it wasn't just Xiaoyu; some of the young eunuchs were also very happy.
It's also his fault for being blind and mistaking someone else for someone else.
However, the Ninth Prince is indeed good-looking.
"Therefore, Little Fish's life was given to her by the Ninth Thousand Years Old."
"Oh, there's such a thing?" Ning Hong thought back carefully.
I do recall having such a young eunuch.
The only reason I spoke up was because I felt he was very similar to myself back then.
As for that old eunuch...
He had wanted to get rid of him for a long time.
Ning Hong smiled and put the pill bestowed by Emperor Chengye into her mouth.
A warm current suddenly surged through my abdomen.
"He does have some skill."
"Nine thousand years old?"
I've already told you that you shouldn't take these pills, so why did you take them anyway?
"Don't worry, it's alright." Seeing someone so concerned about her warmed Ning Hong's heart.
"But Your Excellency, this—" really can't be eaten.
"We don't care whether we can eat it or not; the important thing is whether the Emperor thinks it's edible or not."
"Nine Thousand Years Old—"
The little fish stared at him blankly.
Everyone says that the Ninth Prince enjoys boundless glory, but who knows the bitterness in his heart?
Even though he knew perfectly well that the pill was not meant to be taken, he still swallowed it without hesitation.
"Host, this isn't like you." This pill is poisonous; taking too much will kill you.
"I think you should know why?" Ning Hongze's voice was laced with murderous intent as she heard the system's voice.
"I'm not entirely sure about that," the system said, its voice tinged with unease.
"How could you not know? Didn't you say you wouldn't turn me into a woman? What is this? Is a eunuch even a man?"
“That’s not a woman either,” 0321 said very seriously.
"Can we make it grow?"
system:"--"
"Forget it, it's impossible even if you think about it. You useless system."
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Seeing Ning Hong, Xiao Yu suddenly froze and called out softly.
"Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
"It's alright." Ning Hong shook his head. If he continued to take this pill, he probably wouldn't live much longer in this world.
We must find his brother as soon as possible.
Inside Changchun Palace, Zhao Qingqi looked at the Empress with a puzzled expression.
"Mother, why do you think Father favors that eunuch so much?"
"There must be something special about him, right?" To be honest, the Empress wasn't really sure why either.
Although Ning Hongze is beautiful, the Emperor is not interested in that kind of woman.
