The strong foul smell in the room made people feel a nauseous urge, Ye Shaolong held his breath desperately, and quickly came to the side of the bed to take a look. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

I saw a young face with a pale face and no blood, lying quietly on the wooden bed with his eyes closed, and his body below the head was all covered by the quilt on his body.

Judging from his face, this person was definitely no more than seventeen years old, and he still had a good life to follow, but at this moment he died in the palace and no one cared about him. In the imperial era, human life was as cheap as ants, and it seems that this statement is not groundless.

Ye Shaolong hurriedly turned around and ran outside the room, took a breath of fresh air, and found a strip of cloth to cover the part below his nose.

When he was ready, he entered the room again, pulled the quilt over the head of the deceased, and rolled his body around with the quilt. Gently lifted it and hugged it, Ye Shaolong almost didn't feel any total, it seemed that this dead man was much thinner than he imagined.

There was a small open space in the innermost part of this big courtyard, and Ye Shaolong also followed what Father-in-law Qin pointed out. The clearing was overgrown with weeds, Ye Shaolong couldn't stand the stench emanating from the deceased's body, hurriedly threw the body on the edge of the clearing, and turned around and ran back.

Soon after, he was seen twisting a hoe and began to do the hard work of digging a pit and burying the body. From noon to evening, Ye Shaolong finally buried the dead.

Looking at the weeds growing so luxuriantly in front of him, Ye Shaolong couldn't help but think maliciously: "I don't know how many people are buried here to raise the weeds in such a place so well." ”

Ye Shaolong glanced up at the sky, it was already approaching dusk, and this trip of physical work was really tiring. In addition, before he had time to eat lunch, as soon as Ye Shaolong rested at this moment, his stomach began to growl.

Resisting the hoe and hurriedly leaving this ominous place, Ye Shaolong first went to take a happy bath, but unfortunately he only had one eunuch costume now, and he couldn't change it, so he could only put it back on.

Washed away the smell and sweat on his body, Ye Shaolong's spirit was much better, he couldn't sleep in the house tonight, and after thinking about it, he came to the front yard to find his father-in-law and said.

At this time, it was almost time for dinner, and when he came at noon, he couldn't see anyone in the front yard, and at this time, Ye Shaolong just stepped into the front yard and found that there were countless palace maids and eunuchs coming and going.

All of them came with food boxes, thinking that these people should be the servants of the various masters in the palace. Ye Shaolong smelled the aroma of rice in his nose, and his saliva almost flowed.

But he could only try to hold back, and began to look for the figure of his father-in-law in the crowd, but he didn't find it after walking around. In the end, Ye Shaolong simply blended into the kitchen, and only then did he see that the so-called father-in-law was actually stir-frying at a stove.

What else Ye Shaolong didn't understand now, seeing that this guy had been putting a shelf in front of him, it turned out that he was just a cook.

But what Ye Shaolong didn't understand was why he, a cook, was also castrated as a eunuch? Now didn't seem to be the time to think about this, Ye Shaolong sneaked behind his father-in-law.

Father-in-law Qin happened to be loading vegetables at the moment, and when he saw Ye Shaolong arriving wet, he just motioned for him to stand aside and wait. And he was still busy with the work in his hands, until he carefully packed all the dishes he made into a food box and asked the little eunuch next to him to bring it out, and then he turned around and faced Ye Shaolong.

"All the work is done, Kiko-chan!" Father-in-law Qin took off the cloth on his body and walked to the cubicle inside.

Ye Shaolong obediently followed behind him, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Qin, I have buried this corpse, but the room has not had time to clean up." Besides, the smell inside is still too strong, can you arrange another place for me to stay for two nights. ”

Although he knew that the other party was just a cook, Ye Shaolong had to bow his head under the eaves at the moment, and before he mixed up in this palace, it was best not to turn his face with this diligent father-in-law.

Father-in-law Qin frowned at first, and after sitting down in the cubicle, he said, "That's it, you will stay with Xiao Lizi for the next two nights." In the future, you will also be under his control, and if you don't understand something, ask him for advice, and as for the relationship between us, this is the end, and don't come to me in the future. ”

Such irresponsible words can also be said by the old eunuch, Ye Shaolong is very speechless. He really wanted to press the old eunuch to the ground and beat him hard to vent his resentment.

But after thinking about it, he still held back, Ye Shaolong didn't make any other requests, and silently agreed to the arrangement of his father-in-law. The latter was not verbose, and shouted outside, and a little eunuch walked in quickly.

"Little plum, see Father-in-law Qin." The little eunuch was the same age as the dead little Xizi, and when he saw his father-in-law, he immediately knelt down on the ground.

"Well, little plum! This is Xiao Xizi, he will be at your disposal in the future, teach the rules here, don't let him cause any trouble, you know? "Father-in-law Qin looked cold, and the shelf was even more arranged.

Xiao Lizi agreed without any dissent, but the expression on his lowered face was uncertain, and he seemed to be a little absent-minded.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong, the father-in-law asked the two of them to go out first. Xiao Lizi kowtowed again before leading Ye Shaolong to his room.

When he was about to leave the kitchen, he picked up a food box by the way, handed it to Ye Shaolong's hand and said, "Take it, wait until you go to the room to eat." ”

Ye Shaolong nodded, and silently followed Xiao Lizi back to the backyard. The place where Xiao Lizi and the little Xizi live is not in the same courtyard.

There are several rows of small rooms between the two places, and Xiao Lizi's room is no different from Xiao Xizi's room. The same small cubicle, with only a small wooden bed and an oil lamp, was empty.

There was probably only five dense spaces that could not fit any other furniture, and there was only one passage left for two people to walk side by side except for the bed.

Ye Shaolong found that Xiao Lizi had been in a trance since his father-in-law mentioned Xiao Xizi. Along the way, he was even more absent-minded, and when he arrived in his own room, he sat on the wooden bed and was stunned.

Ignoring him directly, Ye Shaolong frowned, and didn't bother him, opening the food box and finding a large bowl of white rice inside. There are also two dishes, one meat and one vegetable, and the aroma is bubbling out, and Ye Shaolong, who has a big appetite, can't manage so much, so he starts directly.

After the two dishes and a big bowl of white rice were eaten, Ye Shaolong felt that he was five points full, and unwillingly looked at the food box again and found that it was empty.

When he looked back, Ye Shaolong found that Xiao Li Zi was still in a daze, hesitated for a moment, and he opened his mouth to say, "Gonggong Li knows the original Xiao Xizi?" ”
