"Well, his wedding night was a torture session!"

"You said that this eunuch Xu is the same as us, why does he still like to have fun like this? Why can't he be like other eunuchs, and drink a little wine secretly to relieve boredom?"

"He doesn't drink alcohol, so he can't drink to relieve his boredom, but he came up with such a harmful way to amuse himself!"

When Ji Yin, who was eavesdropping on the corner like a cat on a tree branch, heard this, he felt very uncomfortable. His mind, which had finally cleared up, was disturbed again.

Although the palace forbade the maids from drinking alcohol, it was not strict, and sometimes they were even given fine wine by the emperor. So it was said that many stewards and eunuchs would secretly hide some fine wine, and drink a little wine to relieve boredom when they were craving for it.

Ji Yin guessed that Xu Shixin would probably have this hobby, because wine and sex are inseparable, so he gave Qiao Wan'er some advice: try to find opportunities to persuade him to drink, because if he drinks the wine, his reaction abilities in all aspects will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, Ji Yin had specifically instructed Qiao Wan'er to strike when Xu Shixin was not awake, because Xu Shixin was a man with solid skills, and even after falling asleep he might still be alert. So if he could be made to fall asleep after drinking, his alert reaction could be greatly reduced, and choosing such a time to strike would give him a greater chance of success.

So, when Ji Wei heard that Xu Shixin didn't drink alcohol, he felt that he was a little self-righteous - the best time he had imagined in advance didn't exist at all! Could it be that last night's dream was really an ominous sign?

*
In a dimly lit room in the backyard of the inner court, an elderly man was shouting at the woman kneeling in front of him in a duck-like voice: "I told you to take off your clothes. Do you not understand me or what? Take them off now!"

The woman remained kneeling on the ground, her body shaking like a sieve, but she did not take any action according to his command.

Seeing the woman's reaction, the man got angry and picked up a whip at hand and swung it at her fiercely: "Did you hear me? Hurry up and take off your clothes! Take them off one by one according to my order!"

The man who whipped the whip was none other than the head of the inner class, Xu Shixin. He was wearing a white middle-length coat, leaning on the edge of a carved lacquered wooden bed, with a pointed face and wrinkles that were slightly oily, indicating that he ate well. Perhaps because of his missing teeth, his voice was a little leaky, but his tone was extremely cruel.

The whip tail swept across one of Qiao Wan'er's shoulders fiercely, causing her whole body to spasm in pain, but she endured it and did not make any sound.

It was indeed painful when the whip hit her body, but what made Qiao Wan'er anxious was not the pain in her body, but the panic deep in her heart - the panic of not knowing what to do next!
Today was her first day to report to the inner class, and in the evening Xu Shixin called her to his side to "sleep with him."

According to "Fuzhi's" instructions, she needed to persuade Xu Shixin to drink as much as possible, so she racked her brains to come up with a few words to persuade him to drink, and practiced them privately countless times. She also took a large bag of turmeric powder in advance to prevent herself from getting drunk and unable to act while drinking with him.

Turmeric powder is a common medicinal ingredient used by palace maids. It can be used to relieve pain during menstruation. A large amount of turmeric powder can also help to sober up.

However, what she didn't expect was that after meeting Xu Shixin, as soon as she mentioned that she wanted to drink with him, the old man's face suddenly changed like the unpredictable weather - he began to suspect that she, Li Shuxiu's sister, was here to harm him.

Afterwards, Xu Shixin viciously ordered her to kneel seven feet away and take off her clothes in front of him, one piece at a time. She had to shake each piece in front of him, saying that he wanted to see if there was anything harmful hidden in the clothes...Qiao Wan'er prepared a very small pair of scissors, wrapped around the back waist of her white linen inner garment, and also prepared a sturdy strip of cloth, which was the extended belt she was wearing.

Qiao Wan'er was naturally frightened - she had never expected Xu Shixin to be such a suspicious person, and to be suspicious to a point - she had no choice but to pretend to be very aggrieved and explain that she had no such thoughts at all.

In short, everything that happened after meeting Xu Shixin was completely different from what was expected. Fuzhi told me to remember to adapt to the situation, which was true, but how to adapt? He didn't seem to explain it very clearly!
"Snap!" The whip came down again, with greater force than the last time. Qiao Wan'er lost her balance and fell to the ground, moaning involuntarily.

"What? You don't dare to take it off? Then you must be hiding something to harm me!"

"Eunuch Xu...Eunuch Xu, how could I...dare to have such a thought!" Qiao Wan'er slowly stood up and replied tremblingly.

"Then take it off quickly! Prove it to me! The whip in my hand just now was very strong. If you don't do as I say, I will beat you until you bleed!" Xu Shixin seemed a little impatient, and his duck voice was about to turn into a chicken's.

"Snap!" Without waiting for Qiao Wan'er to react, the third whip came down with such force that it could tear a person's skin and flesh.

Although the pain was even more unbearable, it instantly eliminated the panic in the woman's heart, and was replaced by an unprecedented rebellion and rebellion - she couldn't wait to stab the old bastard to death!

Even if she doesn't know how to adapt to circumstances, she can only try to learn to adapt to circumstances... "Fuzhi" told her the timing to take action, whether after drinking or sleeping, she felt that it was not feasible - Xu Shixin didn't drink, and he was so suspicious of her, she didn't know how to deal with her next!

Qiao Wan'er decided not to wait until he fell asleep and to take action now - as long as he approached her without any defense, she would pull out the scissors and stab him!
Still not seeing any action from the woman, Xu Shixin was too lazy to say anything and raised the whip in his hand high again.

Qiao Wan'er shrank back before the whip that was about to be raised, and then she hurriedly reached out to unbutton her skirt: "Don't worry, eunuch! Please have mercy! I'll take it off right away!"

When Xu Shixin saw the woman making a move, he just stopped the whip in his hand and watched the person in front of him unbutton his belt and take off his clothes.

After Qiao Wan'er took off her outermost maid's skirt, she shook it vigorously in front of him as the old fox had instructed, and then gently placed it on the floor in front of him. "Don't dawdle, keep taking it off!" Xu Shixin saw that Qiao Wan'er stopped taking off her outer skirt after taking it off, and she looked timid and didn't dare to continue, so he hurriedly urged her.

Qiao Wan'er continued to unbutton her shirt as instructed. As the buttons were undone one by one, the gradually opened neckline began to reveal her snow-white skin, slender neck, and faintly visible collarbone.

Xu Shixin's eyes suddenly lit up, but when he saw the woman suddenly stop moving, he hurriedly ordered: "Who told you to stop? Hurry up and continue taking off your clothes!"

The woman had to tremble as she took off her white undershirt, revealing her smooth white arms. The red marks on her shoulders from being whipped were particularly eye-catching. Her inner garment was a white silk scarf that wrapped around her chest, and a ravine was faintly visible on her chest.

The old man with a greasy face was instantly touched by the charming scenery, and a piece of flesh at the corner of his mouth twitched unconsciously: "Come here!"

When the woman stood up, she lowered her face, as if she was ashamed to see people, and her body was still shaking. But after hearing such an order, her tense shoulders and back relaxed imperceptibly.

Then, she tried hard to control her nervousness and shyness, kept her expression as calm as possible, and slowly moved forward.

If someone was watching from behind at this moment, they would be able to vaguely discern that there was a scissors-shaped object hidden in the white silk scarf at the lower back of her waist - she was not wearing a small dress today, but was deliberately wrapped in a white silk scarf just to hide this "weapon".

As soon as the woman approached, the old man couldn't wait to reach out and pull her to him: "Wan'er, let me help you with this..."

But he suddenly stopped talking halfway through.

The moment the woman was pulled forward, one arm suddenly rose up, and something in her hand flashed an imposing light in the dim light... It was Qiao Wan'er who pulled out a pair of scissors and stabbed Xu Shixin fiercely.

However, despite the great force of the scissors, it did not hit the pulse point that "Fuzhi" had taught him many times, but instead missed the target and hit one of Xu Shixin's shoulders.

Xu Shixin screamed in pain, and with a quick wave of his hand, he knocked away the scissors that were stabbing at him again from Qiao Wan'er's hand.

Then he turned around and neatly pressed the woman onto the bed, strangling her neck with both hands: "You stinky girl! You really came to harm me, wait and see how I kill you!"

Qiao Wan'er struggled desperately, instinctively trying to pry away the hands that were pinching her, but it was like an ant trying to shake a tree. When she felt that she was about to suffocate and lose consciousness, she suddenly felt that the hands that were pinching her lost their strength for some reason, and at the same time she heard some strange noises.

He sat up quickly without even having time to breathe, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he was so scared that he almost screamed.

There is an extra person in the room!

It was a masked man dressed as a eunuch, standing behind Xu Shixin, covering his mouth with one hand and holding a pair of scissors in the other hand. The tip of the scissors was deeply inserted into the base of Xu Shixin's neck.

Before she could react to what was happening, she saw the man pull out the scissors in his hand. With a "puff" sound, a stream of hot red liquid instantly spurted out from Xu Shixin's neck. Qiao Wan'er had no time to dodge and was splashed in the face.

Afterwards, she tried her best to calm herself down and looked over with bloody eyes - the man who was stabbed in the vitals still had his eyes wide open, staring at her face to face, with red eyes and white eyes.

The woman was so frightened by the strange sight before her that her whole body shuddered.

Although the man who killed Xu Shixin had his face covered with a black cloth, Qiao Wan'er had already identified who he was from his figure and technique - it was the "Fuzhi" who taught her how to kill people with scissors. He suddenly appeared out of nowhere and turned the tide when she was doing badly.

This... is it because the apprentice is not skilled enough that the master is so anxious that he has to do the work himself?
"Eunuch, Eunuch Xu, is there anything wrong? Do you want me to come in and take a look?" A voice was heard outside the door. It was the eunuch who was on night guard outside the house.

The two night guards at the door of the room felt something was wrong when they heard the loud shouting in the house, but because Xu Shixin's previous bridal chambers were always quite noisy, there were all kinds of sounds: whipping, crying, cursing, and so on.

So the two men did not dare to go in rashly, fearing that they would be punished. Instead, they listened quietly outside for a while, and then vaguely heard Xu Shixin's shouting and cursing, and then there were sounds like fighting. They felt more and more that something was wrong, so one of them shouted loudly outside the door.

No matter how flustered Qiao Wan'er was, no matter how surprised she was at what she saw, her first reaction after hearing the shouting outside the door was to mouth the word "run" to "Fuzhi".

After "Fuzhi" understood what was meant, he became very obedient, let go of the corpse in his hand, and disappeared in a flash.
