Cao Jixiang asked a lot of random questions, but didn't get any useful information.

Finally, I couldn't hold back my temper anymore and got straight to the point.

"Little Li, I heard that you and Liu Xi, the chief eunuch in the palace of Concubine Wang, are involved."

"There was a conflict some time ago. Is this true?"

When asking this question, Cao Jixiang narrowed his sinister eyes and stared at Li Changsheng.

When I heard Cao Jixiang, he mentioned Liu Xi's matter.

Li Changsheng became even more convinced that his previous guess was correct.

This Cao Jixiang is in the same group with Liu Xi, Mu Zhong and others.

This time he came here specifically, most likely to find out about Liu Xi.

With this in mind, Li Changsheng decided to take the initiative.

He gathered his emotions and pretended to be very angry.

"Eunuch Cao, is it that Liu Xi who came to you to file a complaint?"

"I really don't know where that bastard got the nerve to complain to you."

Seeing that Li Changsheng was a little agitated, Cao Jixiang quickly spoke to comfort him.

"Don't get excited yet. If you have something to say, speak slowly. Speak slowly!"

"Eunuch Cao, you can't blame me for being excited. You don't know how disgusting what that bastard Liu Xi did was."

"Sisters Lanruo and Lanzhi just accidentally touched his clothes, and he actually demanded five hundred taels of silver."

"Eunuch Cao, Lanruo and Lanzhi were once your people. You must know their situation better than anyone else. It's simply impossible to come up with these five hundred taels of silver."

"But that beast Liu Xi didn't care about that. He not only beat the two sisters until they were covered in bruises, but also tortured them beyond recognition."

"Furthermore, he even threatened to sell the two sisters to a brothel outside the palace. This is simply too much, too much!"

Because he was too immersed in the role, he gritted his teeth when he said the words "too much".

If only there were an Oscar-winning figure in this harem.

Based on his passionate acting just now, Li Changsheng is likely to win many awards!

However, at this moment, Cao Jixiang was in no mood to appreciate Li Changsheng's wonderful acting skills.

When he heard the word "brothel", his expression instantly became uneasy.

Damn it, this Liu Xi is such a waste who is incapable of accomplishing anything and only causes trouble!

Li Changsheng glanced at Eunuch Cao's expression from the corner of his eye, and continued to pretend to be furious, saying:

"By the way, Eunuch Cao, when I went to ask Liu Xi for someone, I specifically mentioned your name!"

"Who would have thought that Liu Xi would be so lawless? He started talking nonsense right away and doesn't even take you, Eunuch Cao, seriously!"

When Cao Jixiang heard his name being mentioned, his heart suddenly pounded, and he asked hurriedly:

"Oh, what did Liu Xi say?"

Li Changsheng looked embarrassed and said, "Eunuch Cao, what Liu Xi said was really too harsh to hear. It was unbearable to listen to. Even I almost couldn't bear to listen to it. Let's stop talking!"

"Otherwise, you will definitely be angry after hearing it!"

At this time, Cao Jixiang was completely intrigued by Li Changsheng's words and was not willing to give up.

"Speak now, our family won't be angry!"

Li Changsheng said, "Eunuch Cao, Liu Xi said that you were just lucky enough to become the chief eunuch of Ganquan Palace. In reality, you are nothing."

"Liu Xi also said that he is a eunuch in the palace of Concubine Wang. Eunuch Cao has no control over him and is not qualified to control him."

"Liu Xi also said, 'Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. Don't look down on eunuchs because they are poor. Sooner or later, when he gains power, he will stew the treasures in your cleansing room and make soup..."

Li Changsheng used "Liu Xi's mouth" to curse in any way he could.

Moreover, Cao Jixiang, who was scolded, had no temper at all.

After all, he just said that he wouldn't be angry.

But it doesn't matter if I get angry.

Anyway, these were all cursed by Liu Xi, that bastard.

It has nothing to do with Li Changsheng.

After listening to Li Changsheng's story, Cao Jixiang's face became frighteningly gloomy.

He suppressed his anger and asked:

"Little Li, do you know where Liu Xi is now?"

Li Changsheng shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about this!"

"However, since Liu Xi is the chief eunuch in the Queen Mother's palace, he should still be there right now!"

"How about I go with you and look for it. I don't want Liu Xi to be stubborn and deny that he said those dirty words. It would be like I'm spitting blood and slandering him on purpose!"

Cao Jixiang frowned and waved his hand.

"No need, we can go alone."

"After the Queen finishes her breakfast, she might call you over!"

"promise!"

Li Changsheng clasped his fists and bowed, then saluted.

After confirming that Cao Jixiang had left, Li Changsheng felt relieved.

Little Chenzi, as well as the sisters Lanruo and Lanzhi, were so frightened that their palms and backs of their hands were covered in sweat.

Lan Ruo's eyes were filled with worry. She carefully considered her words and said, "Master, will Eunuch Cao find out about Liu Xi..."

Li Changsheng noticed Lan Ruo's worry and reminded her solemnly, "Don't worry about these things. Just remember my previous instructions!"

"These are turbulent times. Stay here for the time being. If there's nothing urgent, don't go out!"

Lanruo, Lanzhi and Xiao Chenzi all nodded repeatedly, indicating that they would definitely keep it in mind.

……

After leaving Li Changsheng, Cao Jixiang did not return to Ganquan Palace.

But went to...

Nanyuan!

However, he was not going to find Liu Xi.

Instead, he went to see Mu Zhong!

After seeing Mu Zhong, Cao Jixiang bent down slightly and shouted.

"Godfather!"

Seeing Cao Jixiang's gloomy expression, Mu Zhong asked doubtfully:

"You look so grim so early in the morning. Who provoked you?"

Cao Jixiang said: "No one is provoking me, it's just that Liu Xi is missing!"

"I just went to Beiyuan to look for Li Changsheng, and he said he had never seen Liu Xi!"

"Besides, I even went to the Pixiang Hall specifically."

"The palace maids and eunuchs over there said that Liu Xi came back last night and met with Concubine Wang alone. He didn't leave until dawn, and now his whereabouts are unknown!"

"Godfather, is the Queen Dowager also involved in what we did?"

Mu Zhong shook his head. "No, but the Queen Mother is very clever, and Liu Xi is a man with a loose tongue. I'm afraid she must have seen through some clues a long time ago..."

Cao Jixiang already had some grievances against Liu Xi, and now after hearing what Mu Zhong said, he became inexplicably furious.

"Godfather, then, in your opinion, why did Liu Xi go to see Concubine Wang in the middle of the night? How many secrets could they have that would require them to talk all night long?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhong frowned and fell into deep thought.

suddenly!

He seemed to have thought of something, and a cold light suddenly flashed across his cloudy eyes.

"The Liu Xi who came back last night wasn't the real Liu Xi, but someone impersonating him?"

Cao Jixiang was also shocked when he heard Mu Zhong's guess.

"Godfather, based on what you said, who could be impersonating Liu Xi?"

"Where is the real Liu Xi now?"

Mu Zhong hesitated for a moment and muttered to himself:

"Last night, I asked Xiao Heizi and Liu Xi to go to Beiyuan to find Li Changsheng. I was going to teach this guy a lesson so that he wouldn't ruin our business."

"Then, Xiao Heizi disappeared, and Liu Xi returned to the Pixiang Palace alone..."

"Cao Jixiang, do you think that Liu Xi, who went to the Pixiang Palace to meet the Queen Mother last night, was Li Changsheng in disguise?"

When Cao Jixiang heard Mu Zhong's question, he was shocked on the spot.

In his impression, Li Changsheng is just a little eunuch who is sweet-mouthed, can coax people, can get things done, and is a bit smart!

If anything, Li Changsheng could beat Liu Xi up.

He believed it.

It can be said that he dared to kill Liu Xi and even impersonated the other party and went to the Pixiang Hall.

Cao Jixiang didn't believe it at all.

After a brief pause, he finally spoke:

"Godfather, I just came from Li Changsheng's place. He was sleeping in Beiyuan's room last night!"

"Also, I took a careful look at the courtyard in Beiyuan, and there was nothing unusual!"

"Besides, if I remember correctly, that little Heizi is a master at the peak of the late Xuan level."

"Unless Li Changsheng is an Earth-level Grandmaster, otherwise, there is absolutely no possibility of killing him!"

Mu Zhong thought about it and felt that what Cao Jixiang said made sense.

"This is strange. It seems like we're being targeted!"

Cao Jixiang showed a worried look on his face and said, "Godfather, Liu Xi knows too many of our secrets."

"If he falls into the hands of the Imperial City Bureau, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Mu Zhong nodded and said, "I know that. The most urgent thing is to find Liu Xi and make him shut up forever!"

"Oh right, there's also that fellow Li Changsheng. We must keep a close eye on him."

"If he shows any abnormal behavior, you must find a way to get rid of him!"

Cao Jixiang nodded to show that he understood.

Mu Zhong waved his hand wearily.

"Okay, you go back first. Let's go to the Queen Mother's house and meet her!"

"Look at her, a concubine of the previous emperor, what role did she play in this drama?"

When he said this, Mu Zhong's expression suddenly became gloomy and ferocious.

Even in his cloudy eyes, there was a hint of murderous intent...
