The strongest nine thousand years old on earth, I will take charge of the harem on behalf of the emp

Seeing that Li Changsheng looked troubled, Cao Jixiang pretended to be angry.

"Why, don't you want to?"

Li Changsheng: "..."

At this moment, he really didn't know how to refuse.

After all, now is not the time to openly fall out with Cao Jixiang.

But he really didn't want to take the eunuch Cao Jixiang as his adoptive father.

Li Changsheng's cunning eyes swirled back and forth, and he said with a smile:

"Eunuch Cao, you misunderstood. It's not that I don't want to. It's just that I need to seek the Queen's opinion!"

This time, it was Cao Jixiang's turn to be confused.

I just want to follow Mu Zhong's example and adopt a few adopted sons to build up my own trusted faction in the harem.

What does this have to do with the Empress?

Why do I need to ask her specifically?

However, he had second thoughts.

If Li Changsheng is really a servant of the Xiao family.

Then I really need to ask the Queen for permission to appoint me as my adoptive father.

Thinking of this, Cao Jixiang became more convinced of his judgment.

It seems that Li Changsheng is really a member of the Xiao family.

With this in mind, he no longer mentioned the matter of becoming a godfather.

Instead, he changed his tone to a calm one and said earnestly:

"Changsheng, the Queen has been in poor health recently. There's no need to bother her with such a small matter."

After saying this, he didn't wait for Li Changsheng to answer.

Cao Jixiang changed the subject directly.

"By the way, we went to investigate Liu Xi from the Pixiang Hall. We didn't know what he was talking about until we did. We were really shocked!"

Li Changsheng was stunned again when he heard this.

Uh?

You old fox, what are you up to?

Li Changsheng's mind turned to a thousand things, and he turned into a qualified supporting actor, pretending to be curious and asked:

"Eunuch Cao, what have you found out?"

Cao Jixiang said, "Through our investigations, we discovered that Liu Xi was working for Mu Zhong."

"By the way, Changsheng, do you know Mu Zhong? He is an old eunuch who has served three dynasties and was a great companion of the late emperor."

Li Changsheng nodded repeatedly and said, "Well, I've heard a little about Mu Zhong!"

"But, isn't he guarding the late emperor's mausoleum? What else does he need Liu Xi to do for him?"

Cao Jixiang smiled and said, "Don't you know what we are going to do, brother?"

Li Changsheng: "..."

Uh, is this something I should be clear about?

Seeing that Li Changsheng remained silent, Cao Jixiang continued:

"Changsheng, as your elder, I'm giving you a piece of advice: be careful of Mu Zhong. Although this official has lost power, he's still alive even after death."

"He's deeply entrenched in the harem and has a powerful network of influence. Only if we two work together can we deal with him!"

Li Changsheng: "???"

Aren’t you and Mu Zhong teaming up to deal with me?

What's going on now?

Do you want to turn Tiangang upside down?

You want to form an alliance with me to deal with Mu Zhong?

Seeing that he had already said it, Cao Jixiang made it clear directly.

Li Changsheng was still pretending to be stupid.

This made him feel a little angry.

"Changsheng, you are the Queen's confidant, but so is my family."

"Besides, our family's loyalty is no less than yours!"

After hearing what Cao Jixiang said, Li Changsheng suddenly realized.

It seems that the old fox Cao Jixiang just saw himself and Xiao Ziyan walking together.

A misunderstanding arose, and people thought he was a servant of the Xiao family.

After figuring out the key point, Li Changsheng also started laughing.

"Eunuch Cao, you are right. We are all on the Queen's ship. We should work together and cooperate sincerely!"

Seeing that Li Changsheng finally got it, Cao Jixiang smiled with satisfaction.

……

Afterwards, Li Changsheng had a cordial and friendly exchange with Cao Jixiang.

Cao Jixiang didn't mention it and asked Li Changsheng to worship him as his godfather.

The two parties agreed to call each other brothers.

And targeting the same enemies.

That is Mu Zhong.

A unanimous agreement was reached.

"Brothers" quarrel within the walls, while defending against external humiliation!

……

At dusk, Li Changsheng left Ganquan Palace and returned to Beiyuan.

However, he had just arrived near Beiyuan.

Then I heard someone singing.

Moreover, the lyrics are extremely familiar.

Wumeng Mountain is connected to other mountains.

The moonlight shines on Xiangshui Beach.

……

This was the secret code agreed upon by him and Wang Xuan.

Could it be that something happened with Wang Xuan?

Thinking of this, Li Changsheng walked towards the singing sound.

After walking a dozen steps, I saw a sea of flowers.

There was a graceful woman about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, wearing palace clothes, who was singing a ballad.

While she was singing aloud, she was also looking around anxiously.

It seems to be waiting for someone.

Li Changsheng walked forward slowly and casually, and continued to sing.

Can anyone tell me,

But the heavens are calling you.

……

Hear Li Changsheng's duet.

The woman in palace dress was stunned.

She hurried to look for the source of the sound.

He met Li Changsheng's eyes.

When she saw Li Changsheng, she saw him as a young man with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and an imposing bearing.

I finally understood why my always gentle and elegant young lady suddenly became so crazy.

She stepped forward, bowed, and said, "I am Xiangling, the personal maid of Concubine Wang. Are you Eunuch Li?"

Li Changsheng nodded and said, "Yes, it's me. Your mother asked you to come to me. What's the matter?"

Xiangling had a very good memory and repeated everything that Concubine Dowager Wang had told her word for word.

After listening to Xiangling's story, Li Changsheng fell into deep thought.

Concubine Dowager Wang asked Xiangling to tell him.

Cao Jixiang and Mu Zhong went to the Pixiang Hall to look for her today.

Moreover, all the questions were about Liu Xi.

As for Queen Dowager Wang's response, it was just as Li Changsheng had instructed before.

Play dumb and know nothing about anything!

Xiangling's expression was solemn, and her dimples were swirling.

"Eunuch Li, my queen said that Mu Zhong may have suspected that Liu Xi was impersonated by someone else, so I want you to be careful!"

Li Changsheng nodded.

"Yes, I know. And tell your wife to be careful!"

Xiangling realized that she had said everything she needed to say and there was no reason for her to stay any longer.

She bit her lips lightly and said, "Eunuch Li, it's nothing. I'll go back first. The queen is still waiting in the palace!"

Li Changsheng nodded slightly.

"Okay, go back. Be careful on the road!"

After Xiangling took five or six steps, she stopped again and looked back at Li Changsheng.

Thinking about the young man in front of me, who is as handsome as Song Yu.

A real man.

Her heart was beating inexplicably.

Even the two legs that were used for walking began to tremble slightly and became difficult to close.

Li Changsheng saw Xiangling, looked back, and shouted at her.

"Miss Xiangling, do you have anything else to do?"

When Xiangling heard this, she immediately felt like a thief being caught on the spot.

My heart was beating fast.

"No, no, it's okay!"

She murmured a response, then quickly turned around and gently patted her chest, which was still beating like a deer...
