Living forever in the deep palace

"Who is this person? He's actually on friendly terms with someone as popular as the Imperial Concubine, Eunuch Zhang. I've never heard of him before. How could such a person be just a little eunuch in a black robe?"

Under the awe-filled gazes of numerous eunuchs and led personally by Zhang Gui, Su Chen, a young eunuch in a black robe, walked into the Shangwu Bureau. Behind him, the wailing of the young eunuch who was guarding the gate could be heard.

"Godfather, uncle, I was wrong."

"Forgive me."

Snap. Snap. Snap.

As he spoke, the young eunuch guarding the gate knelt on the ground and slapped his face repeatedly, wishing he could beat his face to pieces.

Su Chen didn't want to be in the spotlight, but today he was in the spotlight.

Along the way, many eunuchs from the Shangwu Bureau, including some with rank 4 cultivation, all bowed to Zhang Gui without exception.

Nearly half a year had passed since the assassination three months ago, and the old emperor's butcher knife finally reached the palace.

He also has the identity of a hidden agent of a mysterious force.

"The spring breeze is blowing, and the horses gallop. I have seen all the flowers in Chang'an in one day. This palace is full of deep waters, so it is better not to show off."

Because a chief eunuch was imprisoned and sentenced to death that night in prison, Zhang Gui, who was a double peak fourth-rank warrior with a combat power close to the third-rank, had the opportunity to take the position.

After returning to the library, Su Chen immediately ripened the seeds and prepared to make poison, but the immortality qi could not penetrate into the seeds.

He really didn't want anything to happen to him.

The library is too remote.

During this period, Zhang Gui came several times with a heavy heart, drank with Su Chen several times, said some drunken words in his dream, and cried unconsciously.

"Thank you Uncle Gan for not pursuing the crime that day."

Su Chen gave Zhang Gui the list of things he wanted.

The food box unfolds.

At this time, Su Chen was shocked to realize that the Longevity Qi could only play its ripening effect after the seeds germinated and took shape.

His worst fear happened.

Harvested two large bottles of poison powder.

Today, Zhang Gui is valued by Concubine Zhang, who bestows him with secret medicine, allowing him to enter the ranks of fourth-rank practitioners ahead of time. He has also skipped the process of preparing to become a steward, surpassing a group of old eunuchs who have been preparing to become stewards of the peak fourth rank who have endured for who knows how many years, and has been promoted to the steward of the Shangwu Bureau.

He took out two bottles of Bairu wine from the house and handed them to Su Chen.

"can."

Zhang Gui said he understood, but his eyes showed indifference, and it was obvious that he was not listening.

Inside was Su Chen’s favorite Bairu wine and braised chicken.

Zhang Gui is still the same Zhang Gui. Even though he has become a favorite of the imperial concubine and the steward has to look at him with a higher regard, he still speaks to Su Chen from the bottom of his heart.

not to mention.

"With this thing, I finally have some power to protect myself in this palace."

Zhang Gui put his hands behind his back and said this, then he coldly and arrogantly dismissed the godsons in front of him, and resumed his smiling and lively appearance when the two were alone together.

"The Shangwu Bureau is not a place where a black-robed eunuch like me can enter."

Today, it’s time to harvest.

The Grand Chamberlain is not qualified, but relying on Concubine Zhang's appreciation, if he can catch the emperor's eye, there is still a chance for him to become the Deputy Grand Chamberlain.

The cold wind, carrying snow, blew into the quiet room. He opened his eyes, jumped up, and stared coldly at the uninvited guest in the room.

"I know."

Zhang Gui is one of the few friends I have.

The next day, after sobering up, Zhang Gui looked at Su Chen silently and left without saying a word.

"It's just that Zhang Gui doesn't know that time passes by so slowly. The rise and fall of dynasties, the replacement of dynasties, are nothing to me. They are just sand, rocks, grass, and trees, not worth mentioning."

He knows.

The tree catches the wind.

There were sporadic snowflakes falling from the sky, it was about to snow.

"My hundred-year-old one has definitely increased in toxicity by more than double. It should be able to kill a second-grade cultivator, or even a peak second-grade cultivator."

Before leaving.

"No problem, rules are made to be broken."

"Even dynasties will decay, even masters will grow old and die, but I am like an evergreen tree..."

"They're all herb seeds. What do you want them for? Since you don't want to show up in public, and you can't spend your time practicing, planting herbs in that lonely library is fine. It can be considered a way to pass the time."

If I get noticed, I'm doomed.

"If I had known earlier, I would have ordered some younger herbs."

A month passed.

But there is no way, people will not listen to advice. Only after suffering a disaster can they calm down.

Su Chen knew some of Zhang Gui's secrets.

"Otherwise, with my godfather's style, I would have packed up the stables and slept in the pigsty long ago."

"This 'Book of Hundred Poisons' says that poison powder made from fifty-year-old herbs can cause a peak third-grade cultivator to suddenly die, threatening a second-grade cultivator."

Su Chen nodded.

In the past, it was Zhang Gui who came to talk to him and tell him about the changes in the palace, but now it was Xiao Hanzi who came.

Just like the thousand-year-old ginseng king that was ripened before.

This night.

Su Chen was in the library, reading some miscellaneous books and tending to the medicine fields when he had nothing to do. A little eunuch came outside with a food box.

"Recognize your uncle and keep your eyes open in this palace. You should respect your uncle as much as you respect me."

"From now on, if there's anything, Uncle Gan will ask Xiao Hanzi to run errands."

It caused such a big fuss.

"Complete."

A shake of the head.

In front of the Shangwu Bureau, looking at Zhang Gui who was seeing him off, Su Chen couldn't help but persuade him a few words.

this day.

"never mind."

After Zhang Gui said a few words, the herb seeds were placed in front of Su Chen.

Even Su Chen felt a little bit of the scenery.

"Wait for it to germinate, and then the secret medicine will ripen."

In the twenty-third year of Tianwu, December, winter.

"I, Xu Xiaohan, pay my respects to my uncle."

December 7th.

It was more than half an hour's drive away from the normal eunuchs' activities, so it was no wonder that he hadn't heard a word about Zhang Gui's promotion to the head of the Shangwu Bureau.

The main reason for choosing this Heart-Eating Poison Powder is that it is very simple to prepare and almost impossible to make mistakes. It is just that it is a high-year-old herb and extremely difficult to collect.

Su Chen dug out the embryonic forms of poison one by one, and streams of true energy poured into them. Soon, poisonous herbs that were hundreds of years old appeared.

Zhang Gui was thoughtful and did not forget what he had said to him. He actually sent his godson to bring him Bairu wine and roast chicken every day.

Su Chen started debugging.

In the blink of an eye.

Su Chen was awakened.

"To know."

I'm afraid that sending this Xiao Hanzi here is also intended to keep an eye on him and not allow him to leave again.

He shouldn't have come out at all.

Su Chen saw all of this.

Su Chen walked back and forth in the library for a while, and finally chose a piece of land in the yard of the library. He pried up the floor tiles, opened up a small medicinal field of about ten meters, and planted the seeds.

If Su Chen wasn't afraid that the age would change the medicinal properties, he would even want to try the toxicity of the thousand-year-old Heart-Eating Poison Powder.

Su Chen takes care of the medicine garden.

"You have a share of my wealth."

On this day, Xiao Hanzi was a little excited.

He was surrounded by flowers and was in the limelight for a while. Even the chief eunuch knew that he was a rising star among the eunuchs.

Afterwards, they came less and less frequently.

"I'm not going out anymore."

He looked vaguely familiar, and there were still some traces of swelling on his face.

"Ugh."

Autumn is completely over.

"It's better to avoid further trouble."

soon.

Once they come to power, each of these godsons will be able to obtain a position with power and benefits, or even become a manager directly.

"As long as you say the word, I will immediately pave the way for you. I will let you leave the library and become a eunuch in a green robe. In the future, I will be the chief eunuch and you will be the second-in-command, even if you cannot practice..."

He is an immortal monster and a fake eunuch. He hides in the palace and is afraid of being discovered, so he dare not make friends.

soon.

"The few first-rank princes in Liang State, as well as the purple-robed eunuchs, are only first-rank in martial arts."

This is not a difficult task for Su Chen. As long as the herbs grow into a rudimentary form, he can control the year and can grow them in any year he wants.

Now Su Chen just wants to go back to the library and hide there.

In the Shangwu Bureau, Su Chen was a little restless.

"I have half the wealth you possess. If it weren't for your soap and perfume, I wouldn't have had the chance to be appreciated by the imperial concubine."

After he knew Zhang Gui's secret, Zhang Gui was destined to no longer be as close to him.

"Although it's a little difficult, I can prepare everything for you right now. Coincidentally, there's a young eunuch in the pharmacy who's my godson."

Su Chen left.

After all, he was a fake eunuch, and even though he tried his best to bend his body, he was still afraid of being discovered.

"Food will be delivered three times a day, and you are not allowed to stay overnight. I don't like others disturbing my peace and quiet here."

Zhang Gui called his godson to come and recognize Su Chen.

He doesn't care about that.

The Grand Chamberlain is not even qualified to be Zhang Gui’s goal, the First Supervisor of Purple Robe is almost enough.

Inside the house, the man in black stared at him with cold eyes.

"It's time to activate your hidden chess piece."
