Chapter 1035: Chapter 885 Xiaosuisui Goes to Gamble_2

The last time he blocked me, seeing that I kept winning, he claimed he had no money and used his light skills to run away.

Xiaosuisui stood still, listening to the old eunuchs and the Thousand-Handed Illusion talk.

"Let me tell you, do you know about the recent case in the palace?"

"Of course I know, the Emperor has been poisoned. This matter is known outside the palace, let alone me. I’m here for this very matter. Brothers, any inside information?"

"Of course there is, is the money ready?"

The few old eunuchs glanced at each other, eyes filled with greed.

"One piece of information, one silver note!"

The Thousand-Handed Illusion pulled out a hundred-tael silver note and placed it in front of the dice cup!

"This concerns the Emperor and might even involve the sudden death case of the Virtuous Consort from over twenty years ago. Can we sell it to you so easily?"

"If the information you provide is accurate, five pieces, how about that? Enough to support your retirement, right?"

"Really?"

"The money is all here, can I take it back or what?"

"Alright then! We’ll tell you."

"Fine, speak quickly!"

The Thousand-Handed Illusion hurriedly took out a small notebook and began to jot down details!

"The Emperor was poisoned. At first, they said Miss Xie did it, then it was found to be the Duke’s Mansion.

Later, they discovered it was a humble errand nanny from Wanhua Palace who did the poisoning.

According to interrogation, the errand nanny named Ah Sheng was a personal palace maid of the Virtuous Consort back in the day. She admitted she poisoned the Emperor!"

This news wasn’t important to the Thousand-Handed Illusion; he actually wanted more.

"Brothers! Want to aim for something bigger?"

The Thousand-Handed Illusion finished recording. These details he was already aware of.

"What bigger?

Isn’t this big enough?

This information is all sealed off in the palace. Even knowing it puts their heads at risk."

An old eunuch said.

"Oh, I’m not saying this isn’t valuable. I’m looking to dig up something even more valuable."

"What could be more valuable?"

The old eunuch immediately asked further.

"Of course, something others don’t know!

Think about it, since Ah Sheng was the personal maid to the Virtuous Consort, isn’t her action likely an act of revenge for the Virtuous Consort?

But the Virtuous Consort died suddenly due to illness, right?

So what kind of revenge is she taking?

Is there something else we’re missing here?"

Having said this, the others couldn’t help but feel it made sense. One eunuch got nervous, showing panic on his face.

Cold sweat began to form on his forehead.

Xiaosuisui listened to their inner thoughts with his mind-reading skill.

They all tried hard to recall matters related to the Virtuous Consort. Xiaosuisui heard the nervous eunuch in mental struggle: Should I reveal this or not? Revealing it would definitely earn me a huge retirement sum, but it might also mean I die a terrible death. No, I can’t say it. If I say it, I might not survive.

Hearing this person’s voice, Xiaosuisui tilted his head, blinked his eyes, and saw his face clearly. A man of ill fate, but he wouldn’t die a terrible death and would die peacefully.

"You won’t die a terrible death. Say it if you want!"

A childish voice suddenly echoed in everyone’s ears.

They all jumped, startled.

They looked towards the newcomer in extreme fear.

A baby-like figure, exquisitely crafted, wearing a bright red cotton-padded jacket, jeweled flowers in her hair.

Mostly, she stood with arms crossed, a dried up dogtail grass clamped in her mouth, grinning at them!

Too adorable, too cute, isn’t she?

"What an adorable baby!

Whose child is this? So exquisitely crafted, so beautiful! Raised so chubby and white!"

Old and lonely elders, everyone has once fantasized about spending their latter years surrounded by children, with offspring to continue their legacy.

Even if they are lonely old eunuchs, no one can claim they never fantasized about having at least a child or two, a descendant to continue the family line!

Seeing such a baby suddenly, those outside-world eunuchs all showed expressions of delight.

"In truth... What strange encounters life brings!"

Han Qianshou looked at the few chuckling foolishly, with a silly face of old eunuchs, inevitably remembering his first encounter with this ancestor. He also thought this baby was cute, silly, pretty, joyful, all perfect!

But what happened?

She won his money, learned his skills, and almost got him captured!

"Heehee! Grandpa! We meet again!"

Xiaosuisui walked over with a wide smile, eyes nearly closed, gaze fixed unblinkingly on the stack of silver notes in front of the Thousand-Handed Illusion.

"Little one, you like these silver notes?"

An old eunuch pointed to the notes, asking Xiaosuisui.

Xiaosuisui nodded, cheerfully saying, "I do! I like this stuff a lot."

"If you like it, take it all! It’s yours."

Xiaosuisui blinked, saying, "Do you want to buy information from me? I don’t know much!"

Hearing this, the Thousand-Handed Illusion reacted immediately.

"What do you know? Tell me quickly; all these silver notes will be yours!"

Xiaosuisui tilted her head, saying, "I know too much, your money won’t be enough, right?"

"Huh?"

The Thousand-Handed Illusion blinked, puzzled: A baby that looks four or five years old, yet knows about equivalent exchange? I thought I could get some information for free, looks like that’s not happening. But what can such a young baby really know? What if I give the money, and there’s no valuable information at all, wouldn’t it be a waste?"
