After failing the imperial examination, he began to wield immense power after entering the palace!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Li Fan lay on the ground, panting heavily, his throat burning with pain.

He suddenly realized that in the eyes of these high-ranking figures, he wasn't some genius who had achieved five consecutive top honors.

It's just an ant that can be easily crushed.

But precisely because he was an ant, he wanted to live more than ever before!

Moreover, the fact that Consort Xie took the initiative to send someone to find him shows that she was in a hurry, which is Li Fan's opportunity.

He needed to satisfy Consort Xie before the other candidate arrived, ideally making it a fait accompli, so that he would have a chance to live for the time being!

At the very least, before she gave birth to the crown prince, she would not only not kill him, but would also have to support and protect him.

"And revenge!!"

Thinking of this, Li Fan's eyes gradually hardened, and the fire in his chest transformed from anger into ambition.

He wanted those high-ranking officials and this dog eunuch to kneel at his feet and beg for mercy.

But what good would it do for a poor scholar like him, even if he survived?

Only by leveraging Consort Xie's influence can one climb the ranks step by step.

The day I finally hold power, I'll crush the Du family and the Cui family!

In his past life, Li Fan was a coward his whole life. If he doesn't dare to take a chance in this life, he might as well die.

In this life, he wants to be a superior person!

Even if this road is paved with mountains of knives and seas of fire, he will still tread it.

"Alright, I'm willing to enter the palace and become a concubine's male favorite!"

Upon hearing this, a mocking glint flashed in Eunuch Hai's eyes.

"You lowly commoner, do you really think you can climb onto the Empress's bed? You think you're worthy to be the Empress's male concubine?"

"Remember this: from today onwards, if you dare let us hear the word 'male concubine' again, we'll send you to the Western Paradise."

Li Fan's eyes suddenly turned cold.

But he buried this hatred in his heart and endured it for the time being, knowing that he would kill this dog of a eunuch sooner or later.

"Yes, Grandpa Hai."

Leng Shuangqiu glanced at Li Fan and casually tossed a medicine bottle in front of him.

"You're lucky. This Blood Frog Pill can not only quickly heal your injuries, but it can also increase your internal energy by a trace."

Internal energy?

Li Fan didn't take it seriously.

Could this be some kind of poison that controls people?

Well, he had no choice but to pick up the medicine bottle, pour out a pill, and swallow it.

"Hiss~"

In an instant.

A warm current flowed into Li Fan's limbs and bones.

The pain in my buttocks, in particular, was relieved by more than half almost instantly, which was simply unbelievable.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Leng Shuangqiu seemed to realize something. She grabbed Li Fan's wrist and was slightly startled.

"He actually has a pure Yang constitution..."

Li Fan was taken aback: "What?"

Leng Shuangqiu withdrew her gaze with a complicated expression, did not answer, and simply walked forward.

Hai Gonggong also looked at Li Fan in astonishment. This lowly commoner had such a good life, and he couldn't help but feel a bit of jealousy and scheming.

Li Fan followed Leng Shuangqiu with a puzzled look on his face.

"Lord Leng, I'm still a fugitive. If I just leave like this, will anything happen to me?"

He was answered by Hai Gonggong's cold voice.

"From today onwards, you are a dead man."

Before Li Fan could react, he suddenly discovered that all the prisoners in the cells on both sides were dead on the straw beds.

Each of them had a silver needle stuck in their neck, and blood was flowing freely...

No wonder no one in the entire prison reacted when Leng Shuangqiu told him so many confidential things.

So they were all killed!

What a ruthless means!

Sudden.

A drunken middle-aged man was helped in by two jailers; he was the jailer who had ordered Li Fan to be beaten with twenty strokes.

"I'm in a good mood today! Young Master Du said, he'll... he'll promote me later!"

The other two jailers were the ones who hit Li Fan.

They were stunned when they saw Li Fan leave the prison, and then they quickly shouted.

"This lowly commoner actually escaped! He's trying to break out of prison..."

Grandpa Hai has made his move.

His movements were faster than lightning. By the time Li Fan reacted, the heads of the three men had already been snapped off.

"what?"

Li Fan stared wide-eyed at the three corpses on the ground, his mind blank.

Those three grown men were just strangled to death like that?

martial arts.

This is definitely martial arts!

This old eunuch was actually a martial arts master; it was absolutely terrifying.

If I want to kill this dog of a eunuch in the future, I absolutely cannot do it by force. I must plan carefully and strike him down when he is not prepared.

Otherwise, you'll only be the one who dies.

Hai Gonggong looked at Li Fan with a sinister gaze.

"If you dare to disobey after entering the palace, these people will be your fate."

Li Fan felt a chill run down his spine, a cold sensation shooting straight from his tailbone to the top of his head.

"Yes, Grandpa Hai."

Then.

Grandpa Hai took a torch from the wall and casually tossed it into the cell next to him.

The torch fell on a pile of moldy straw, and flames shot up with a "whoosh," and all the prisoners in the dungeon were to die.

This is how you destroy evidence.

From now on, there will be no more Li Fan!

……

Inside the carriage.

Leng Shuangqiu sat opposite Li Fan and spoke again.

"Eunuch Hai will take you to the purification room later; everything has been arranged there."

"You go through the motions, pretending to be a young eunuch who has just been castrated."

"From today onwards, your name is Gao Jin. You are an orphan with no relatives or friends. You entered the palace as a eunuch because you couldn't survive."

"Tomorrow, I will come to take you to Chengqian Palace to serve the Empress."

Li Fan nodded, then asked, "Lady Leng, does Your Highness have any hobbies, such as poetry and songs?"

Leng Shuangqiu immediately saw through Li Fan's desire to curry favor with the Empress.

"Her Majesty dislikes poetry, so you can just listen to her."

Eunuch Hai said coldly, "If you dare to talk so much again after entering the palace, I'll tear your mouth apart first."

Li Fan shut up.

More than an hour later.

Li Fan was led into the castration room and went through the motions, pretending to be castrated.

Then, he followed several newly arrived eunuchs into a silkworm room to rest.

That night, he slept very restlessly, constantly feeling that someone would come with a knife to kill him.

After enduring a night of anxiety, when Li Fan opened his eyes again, most of the confusion in them had faded.

From now on, he no longer wanted anyone to control his life.

Then, to his surprise, he discovered that all the wounds on his buttocks had healed; the pill was incredibly effective.

"Bang!"

The door was kicked open.

A fat eunuch swaggered in, startling the dozen or so new eunuchs in the room who all shuddered.

"Those who aren't dead and are still breathing, all of you, get out here."

"Princess Anle is selecting eunuchs to serve you. To be chosen by her is an incredible stroke of luck!"

A new eunuch standing nearby was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, his face as white as paper, and his whole body trembling like a leaf.

"Oh no, I've heard about Princess Anle's bad reputation before I even entered the palace."

"She is His Majesty's most beloved princess, who is usually arrogant, domineering, and capricious."

"Those eunuchs who served her, if they displeased her in the slightest, would have their hands or feet broken, or even lose their lives..."

Li Fan's heart sank.

This princess has a terrible reputation and is definitely not a good person; you must not be chosen by her.

Suffering a little is fine, but if it's discovered that he's a real man, I'll definitely die a horrible death!

soon.

Li Fan followed the others out of the silkworm house and saw a young princess standing in the courtyard, who was beautiful and charming.

She wore a bright red dress with gold phoenixes embroidered on the hem, and her hair was adorned with pearls and jade, making her look luxurious and noble.

Despite her delicate appearance, she is extremely extreme in her words and actions.

"Snapped!"

Princess Anle held a thin, long leather whip and flicked it lightly on the ground, startling several new eunuchs who shrank back in fear.

"Raise your heads one by one and let this princess have a good look at you!"

"My mother will be coming to dine with me soon. I don't have time to waste here with you. Let's leave as soon as we've chosen our people."

The new eunuchs raised their heads tremblingly.

Princess Anle glanced around, raised her hand, and lashed out with her whip, striking the nearest person in the face, letting out a furious outburst:

"Ha, someone so ugly dares to enter the palace as a eunuch? Get out!"

The eunuch covered his face, wailed, and rolled to the side.

After Princess Anle injured several more eunuchs, she arrived in front of Li Fan in the blink of an eye and was slightly taken aback.

With his sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and high nose, even dressed in coarse eunuch clothes, he couldn't hide the refined and elegant air about him.

"You are the one!"

Perhaps she was addicted to whipping it, and in her excitement, she lashed out with the whip.
