Chapter 106

Chapter 106

Xiao Chuchu attempted to exchange for the weaknesses of the Tea-serving Junior Eunuch in the system.

She was unsure whether this person was the assassin in the novel.

However, her current memory was quite certain that the novel never mentioned this assassin's weakness.

Had it not been for the Lantern Festival that day, the Empress Dowager closest to Xiao Yunzhou would have disregarded her own life, with the guards advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, risking their lives. Xiao Yunzhou would have been doomed.

"Weakness of the Tea-serving Junior Eunuch: ???"

"The host has not yet unlocked the skill to view weaknesses."

"Requires 100 points to exchange."

So expensive!

Xiao Chuchu gasped in her swaddling clothes.

100 points can be used for a lottery draw, possibly winning a skill book.

But there were priorities. This wasn't the time to cherish points.

Exchange it!

Xiao Chuchu clenched her fists.

In an instant, the system gave feedback.

"Weakness One of the Tea-serving Junior Eunuch: Fear of blood."

"?"

Xiao Chuchu was stunned.

An assassin, who was afraid of blood.

Well, so he might not have used all his strength on the day of the assassination.

Seeing blood, he was frightened, and his strength would decrease?

"Weakness Two of the Tea-serving Junior Eunuch: Fear of hunger."

"...Weakness Three: Fear of cold."

"Weaknesses are ranked from the most to least significant."

Xiao Chuchu's tender little face was all wrinkled up.

Was this all the information for 100 points?

That's too much.

Could she ask the system to verify his identity?

Just as Xiao Chuchu thought of this, she was rejected by the system.

"The system currently has no information on this matter available for exchange."

Xiao Chuchu instantly pouted.

But the continuous exchange of information and checking of the three people's combat power values drained her energy. She was surrounded by fatigue instantly.

Her little head drooped bit by bit, and she couldn't keep her eyelids open.

"I'll sleep first, there are still more than twenty days until the Lantern Festival, I'll think about it tomorrow~"

Was there anything special about the Lantern Festival?

Concubine Liu and Fifth Prince Cheng Qian were completely puzzled.

But the weaknesses of the Tea-serving Junior Eunuch, the little princess's inner thoughts were crystal clear to them.

After dinner, Concubine Liu and Cheng Qian bid farewell to Consort Min and the Sixth Prince and returned to their palace.

"Cheng Qian, it's best if you don't get too close to the Tea-serving Junior Eunuch your sister mentioned," Concubine Liu said.

Concubine Liu hadn't heard Xiao Chuchu's evaluation of the Tea-serving Junior Eunuch.

But Chuchu had a habit. If it's a good person worth getting to know, she would certainly be excited and shout.

For example, the former Imperial Guard Pang Rusong, and again the wet nurse, Zhang Jia.

"We don't understand the situation right now, but this person is hiding his real ability near your father, hiding his identity. He must not be simple, we can't get too close."

Seeing him waffling, Cheng Qian immediately grew irritated and began lecturing him.

"If you want to stay by my side, don't learn to flatter and compliment."

"You need to learn some real skills. Think about it, if you earn ten taels a month, that's equivalent to the annual income of a poor peasant. What gives you the right to earn that?"

Cheng Qian didn't say it out loud, but he didn't really approve of his father's fondness for Wei Zheng, a eunuch who didn't have much to offer.

Wei Zheng didn't have enough ability, so how could he be the head eunuch? What good could he do?

Cheng Qian was different now. After being enlightened by his beloved sister, he knew about the impending national crisis. His perspective was much higher than that of an ordinary prince.

"Ten taels? Are you pulling my leg, Prince? I'm just a junior eunuch and I get only one tael a month...how can it be as much as ten taels!" Xiao Luzi couldn't even fathom it, "That would be almost as much as Chief Eunuch Wei!"

Cheng Qian was flabbergasted, he really couldn't see eye to eye with Xiao Luzi, "And why do you think you deserve one tael? Just because you serve me day in and day out?"

"The common people toil in the fields every day, their backs nearly broken, and they might not even earn one tael a month."

Xiao Luzi pulled a long face.

Outside the training ground, the moonlight poured down, casting a glow on a slender, weak figure passing by.

If Xiao Chuchu and Xiao Yunzhou were present, they would be extremely nervous.

The silent figure who passed the training ground and then paused was none other than the junior eunuch who had an outstanding martial prowess of 99!

He was hiding in the shadows at this moment, making no sound, even his breathing was nearly inaudible.

Although he was at least twenty steps away from Cheng Qian, every word Cheng Qian spoke clearly entered his ears!

"The tea-serving junior eunuch in the Emperor's study, who looks even younger than you, doesn't earn as much as you do by my side."

Cheng Qian couldn't help but compare.

The comparison left him speechless.

The other had a martial prowess of 99, and compared to him, Xiao Luzi had no special skills.

"That one, is way better than you..." Cheng Qian almost let it slip, and abruptly stopped.

Following Xiao Luzi's puzzled gaze, Cheng Qian quickly changed the subject with a cough,

"Last time I went to the imperial study, I saw him practicing how to serve tea without spilling a single drop."

The shadow lurking in the moonlight shuddered slightly.

Cheng Qian and Xiao Luzi didn't notice.

"He earns even less than you."

Cheng Qian thought of what his sister had said about the tea-serving junior eunuch's weakness— he was afraid of hunger.

Looking at Xiao Luzi in front of him, Cheng Qian wished he could point at Xiao Luzi's forehead, "He probably often goes hungry without even a snack. He's a pitiful soul indeed."

The lurking shadow under the moonlight clenched his fist behind his back.

"The tea-serving junior eunuch has suffered a lot, but he is ambitious and competent. Xiao Luzi, look at yourself, how do you compare?"

"You should learn from those who strive, not from those who only know how to flatter!"

"When I work for the people in the future, if you are useful, you can continue to receive your salary. But if not, I can't use the hard-earned money of the people to support you, Xiao Luzi."

The shadow lurking in the moonlight lingered for a long time before slowly leaving.

"Roar, Emperor Dad, what have you done! Last night, you completed one-tenth of the enlightenment mission!"

Early in the morning, Xiao Chuchu was held by Concubine Liu in the imperial garden. Seeing Emperor Xiao Yunzhou from a distance, she yelled with excitement in her heart!

Xiao Yunzhou was dumbfounded from afar.

Huh?

"Emperor Dad, what good deed did you do last night? Keep it up."

Xiao Yunzhou was stunned.

What did he do last night?

He was so scared that he couldn't sleep!

He only dozed off around midnight, and even had a nightmare about the junior eunuch trying to assassinate pleted one-tenth already?

Keep...it up...okay?
