When he woke up again, Eunuch Xu found himself in a dark, secret room.
There were no windows around, and the torches on the walls were suppressed by the cold air and could not even catch fire. The firelight reflected on the cold instruments of torture, making the rows of blades look even more chilling and sinister.
Grandpa Xu was stunned. Before he could think about who the kidnapper was, he shouted out his life-saving charm.
"I am the Grand Eunuch. You may make any requests you have. Just spare my life, and I will do anything... Ugh... Cough cough!!"
However, before he could finish speaking, two masked men in black grabbed his chin and forced something into his mouth.
He hung his head and coughed desperately, but the bitter medicine was too much to swallow. Instead of spitting out the medicine, he choked and his eyes filled with tears, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
When I looked up again, I saw that there was another person in the open space in front of me.
When the man saw him looking over, he slowly raised his hand and removed the silver mask that covered half of his face, showing neither embarrassment nor panic.
Instead, she greeted him calmly: "Eunuch Xu, we meet again."
Shao Linyuan?
What's that madman doing here?
If it were anyone else, Eunuch Xu might be afraid, but he would absolutely not take this dog, whose leash was in the Emperor's hands, seriously.
The person who was just at a disadvantage suddenly became arrogant, "Hmph, Shao Linyuan, how dare you! Our family... Ahhhhh!!"
Shao Linyuan was not a talkative person, so naturally he wouldn't give him the chance to say more.
After his subordinates beat him up four or five times in a row, and he finally stopped arguing, he continued, "The medicine you took is under my control. As long as you say the specified words, you will die immediately."
As Shao Linyuan spoke, he slowly walked up to Eunuch Xu, bent down, and said, word by word, "So, if the Emperor asks about my relationship with the fox demon, you know what to say, hmm?"
"I...I know." The eunuch Xu's mouth was full of blood, and his words trembled as he spoke.
Unfortunately, there were no visible injuries on his body, so he couldn't file a complaint.
He had witnessed the torturous spells used by the Changning Division; what Shao Linyuan said was true…
He had no choice but to scramble away, leaving behind the tonics and porcelain, and rush back home.
Knowing full well that the emperor had been cuckolded, they still lavishly praised Shao Linyuan's fox-training skills and how obedient the fox was.
There was nothing he could do; Eunuch Xu was afraid. He wanted to live, for only by living could he enjoy the riches and honors of the world.
In the dark room, after Xu Gonggong had been running out for a while, Yu Liangcai took off his black mask and went to talk to Shao Linyuan.
"Master, that Xu fellow harmed you so badly before, are you just going to let him go like this?"
"Just a heads up, I don't have time to torture him today." With that, she got up and walked out, seemingly deep in thought about something heavy, which made Yu Liang's heart sink as well.
Standing at the door, Shao Linyuan suddenly turned around, startling Yu Liang so much that he gasped for breath, thinking that something important had gone wrong on the eve of the coup.
He hurriedly asked, "Master, is there anything else you require?"
Shao Linyuan asked, "Did you manage to buy the berries I asked you to deliver three days ago via carrier pigeon?"
Yu Liang held his breath, then coughed violently, almost choking. He blinked, his eyes full of confusion: "Master, are you really bewitched by the fox demon? You haven't left or entered Qiwu Palace for five days straight, have you gone mad?"
After asking this question, Yu Liang seemed to be thinking about something else, and asked in a low voice, "Do you have that much yang energy in your body?"
