In Beijing in April, the sun is shining brightly.
But outside the painted red palace wall, there is a corner that will never be exposed to the sun.
It is located in the northeast corner of the imperial city of the Yu Dynasty. After exiting the corner gate, pass through the Yanting where the eunuchs at the bottom lived, and walk to the innermost room.The room was not that big, there were only a few beds and a table in it, and nothing else.Because it is shrouded in shadow all day long and there is no sunlight, so even in the warm April, the house is still surrounded by a tinge of coldness.
In the past, at the end of the season, when the servants were recruited in the palace, those who had passed the selection would enter that room.After entering, take a dose of medicine, come out alive and enter the palace as an servant, and if dead, wrap it in a straw mat and drag it outside the city.
Today is not the day to recruit servants in the palace.
But there is a newcomer in this room...
"Um... ah..."
A suppressed groan came out from the half-closed door, and spread far away in the narrow and dark alley of Yanting.
The owner of that voice seemed to be severely tortured by some kind of pain, and the voice that came out revealed a kind of bone-piercing despair.
"Why is the house open today? It's not time to give medicine!"
"Didn't you see that there are people from the Ministry of Punishment poking at the door? I heard that the person inside was brought over from the prison!"
A few young eunuchs who had just returned from their duties gathered not far away to discuss, and one of them said seriously: "When I was brought here, I glanced at him for a moment, and I saw that he was seventeen or eighteen. Will it work if I drink medicine when I grow up?"
"Let's not talk about whether it works or not. This medicine is designed to kill people's passion/desire. The medicine's properties are very fierce. It's okay for a seven or eight-year-old baby to drink it, and drink it when you're seventeen or eighteen years old. , I’m afraid I don’t know if I can come out alive.” The other person sighed and said, “What a crime!”
As soon as this person finished speaking, he was slapped heavily on the shoulder. He was startled and was about to get annoyed, but when he turned his head to see the person coming, he quickly put on a smiling face and said, "Grandpa Tu, why are you always free?" Running here?"
"Who is the old one? Our family is only 21 this year, two years younger than you!" Tu Dayou said, reaching out and knocking on the other person's head, and said: "My master asked me to pick him up." Young Master Ji... I don't know if our family can receive this person today."
Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, not because of anything else but because of the words "Little Master Ji".
There is only one Ji family that can be named in the capital city, and it is the family of the former Tai Fu Ji Wencheng who was exiled last year.And the youngest son of the Ji family is naturally Ji Qingzhou, the former Taifu's favorite youngest son.
"Last year Sui Ji's family was convicted, the third young lady was sent to serve as official prostitutes, the two sons were going to exile, I don't know why this young master Ji couldn't think about it, and asked for grace to enter the palace as a servant. "Someone said, "Although the exile is a bit bitter, at least there is still a chance to leave a queen for the Ji family. This entering the palace...doesn't it mean that the incense of the Ji family will be cut off?"
"You know what! Young Master Ji has always been pampered and pampered. If he leaves the capital, he may not reach the place of exile and die on the way." Tu Dayou said: "When you enter the palace as an errand, even though this medicine will cost you Cut off children and grandchildren, but at least one life can be saved."
Besides, this medicine only makes men desireless and incapable of doing things. It is much better than the methods of the previous dynasty that directly cut off the lifeblood. At least everything that should be there is still there, but it just lost its effect.
But... this young master Ji has reached the age of seventeen or eighteen years old, and it is hard to say whether he will be killed if he takes the medicine.Thinking about whether Tu Da would stop talking nonsense with these little eunuchs, he walked towards the cold and dark room.
"Eunuch Tu, why are you here in person?" The guard outside the door was a little surprised when he saw Tu Dayou.
Tu Dayou nodded to the guard and said, "My master sent me here to pick him up."
"Hey, a noble young man raised by a wealthy family, now he can't carry his shoulders or hands, and he can't even do cleaning if he doesn't keep it clean. Should I trouble Mr. Yao to ask him himself?" the guard asked.
"There is no shortage of sweepers in our palace, but there are probably no second ones who have been soaked in ink since childhood." Tu Dayou said.
To put it bluntly, with a background like Young Master Ji's, it is a bit wronged to enter the palace as a servant, and it is human nature for someone to cherish him.If the former emperor was in power, others might not dare to show any love for this young master Ji, but now that the former emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne, who would care about those who have or do not have it?
Moreover, with the status of that Director Yao in the inner court, who would say no to him when he asked for someone?
"It's Manager Yao Xicai." After saying that, the guard hurriedly took Tu Dayou into the room. The light in the room was a little dim, but he could vaguely see a boy lying on the bed near the door, but the boy was motionless. act recklessly.
Tu Dayou frowned at the dampness in the room, turned around and opened the door to the maximum, and then walked to the bed.After he saw clearly the appearance of the boy on the bed, he was immediately stunned.Even though he had met more than half of the noble children in the capital of the Yu Dynasty, many of them were outstanding in appearance, but when he suddenly saw this young master Ji today, he was so startled that he almost forgot to breathe.
Perhaps it was because he had been in the prison for a long time, Young Master Ji was a little thin, and the line of his jaw was as clear as if it had been carved out, which added a bit of sharpness to his already delicate facial features.Just now he was severely tortured by the pain, Young Master Ji bit his own lip in confusion, the dark red blood stained on the thin lips, against his fair complexion, it was almost scorching red.
"Hey..." Tu Dayou looked away and coughed lightly, and said, "This looks too... handsome."
"What's the use of being handsome? It's still the same after a dose of medicine..." The guard was about to say something when he realized that Tu Dayou in front of him was also an eunuch. Now, why is there no movement at all?"
As he said that, he subconsciously stepped forward and stretched out his hand, and his face suddenly changed.
Tu Dayou felt his reaction, reached out his hand and touched Young Master Ji's neck, but he didn't feel any jump.
"Is this... dead?" Tu Da was surprised.
"It's all life!" the guard said and ran to the door to call the prisoner from the Criminal Department to come in. If this person died in this room today, the Criminal Department must have a conclusion. After all, the person came out of the prison. .
The little eunuchs who were poking their heads outside knew it was not good when they saw this posture, and secretly thought that this young master Ji might as well go into exile, at least there is still a chance of life.Fortunately, he didn't even survive the first hurdle.
But things quickly took an unexpected turn.
Just when the people from the Ministry of Punishment went in to check the "corpse", that Young Master Ji, who had clearly lost his breath just now, came back to life.Everyone in the room looked at me and looked at you, and they were all at a loss for a while.
But Ji Qingzhou, who had just "lived", was more at a loss than them.
He obviously just died tragically in a car accident in modern society the last moment, but he didn't expect that when he opened his eyes, he came back to life in another world.
"Since the man is alive, we are indeed the ones who watched and drank the medicine, so Mr. Tu will take him away." The people from the Ministry of Punishment greeted Tu Dayou, asked the guard to fill out a paperwork, and then left .
Tu Dayou took advantage of this moment to glance at Young Master Ji again, the young man looked bewildered, with a bit of uneasiness in his clear eyes, he looked like a deer that had stumbled into a trap by mistake and was at a loss what to do.The young man noticed Tu Dayou's gaze, turned his head to look over, and asked Tu Dayou, "Who are you?"
Tu Dayou served in front of the imperial court anyway, and was the apprentice of Director Yao. He was used to being flattered on weekdays, but now he was a little unresponsive when asked by the young man.Fortunately, the guard had good eyesight, so he hurriedly said, "This is Mr. Tu, the disciple of Mr. Yao, the internal servant."
Director Yao?Figure father-in-law?
Thoughts in Ji Qingzhou's mind were spinning, and he suddenly remembered a novel he had read not long ago...
At the beginning, he accidentally discovered that the villain in the novel had the same name and surname as him, so he read it curiously.He vaguely remembered the villain in the book, Ji Qingzhou, who was convicted of a family crime and entered the palace as a servant, and then rose through the ranks with his own means, and soon became the head of the servant department.
Director Yao in the book will soon be replaced by Ji Qingzhou.
But the father-in-law Tu in the book died earlier than his master.
Ji Qingzhou:!
Did he... transmigrated into that book?
"Can you walk now?" Tu Dayou asked.
Hearing this, Ji Qingzhou hurriedly came back to his senses, and walked a few steps on the ground. Although his body was a little weak due to the medicine, he should be able to walk without any problem.It can be seen that although the medicinal power is fierce, it comes and goes in a hurry.Tu Dayou saw that he was fine, so he said goodbye to the guard and led Ji Qingzhou out of the room.
Ji Qingzhou followed Tu Dayou through the narrow and dark alleyway of Yanting, and walked towards the corner gate of the palace.During this journey, he had no emotions on the surface, but he had mixed feelings in his heart. He was shocked, terrified, and grateful for a while.
He was naturally delighted to have a second life after death.
Although this method is too bizarre for him, he is not a dissatisfied person.
The only shortcoming is probably that he turned out to be an eunuch in disguise.
And it was an eunuch who caused trouble and ended up dying!
"You don't have to be depressed." Seeing Ji Qingzhou's sad face, Tu Dayou comforted him only when he felt sad when he became a eunuch on the first day: "You have grown up now, and the medicine will only make you temporarily incapacitated." As for personnel matters, if you can go out of the palace after receiving grace in the future, it is not that there is no chance to recover..."
Unlike those who entered the palace since childhood, their bodies did not grow when they took the medicine, and now even if they stop the medicine, it is impossible to continue to grow.
Ji Qingzhou was overjoyed when he heard the words, and thought to himself, does this mean that he will have a chance to get rid of his status as a eunuch in the future?
While the two were talking, they entered the corner door, and after walking a few steps, they saw a few servants pushing a wooden cart with a lot of things on it.
"What is this for?" Tu Dayou asked casually.
"Back to Eunuch Tu, the regent will be returning to Beijing in a few days. This is to set up a stage for the palace banquet." A young eunuch replied.
The regent returns to Beijing?
Palace banquet?
Many contents in the book flashed through Ji Qingzhou's mind. The regent is lonely and unruly, and what he hates the most is the palace banquet, so the palace banquet mentioned in the book is only the first one.
If he remembered correctly, the Prince Regent went on a killing spree after that palace banquet, and ordered dozens of servants and maids to be shot, among them was Manager Yao, the apprentice Tu Dayou.
"My lord has returned to Beijing." Tu Da spoke, but his tone was somewhat expectant.
Ji Qingzhou gave him a sympathetic look, secretly thinking that the person you are looking forward to returning to Beijing, the first thing after returning to Beijing is to stick you to death...
"When you are familiar with the palace rules, I will say a few good words to Master for you, and arrange you to serve beside the Prince Regent." Tuda Youchaoji Qingzhou said: "You have read a lot of poetry and books, and the prince will definitely value you in the future. "
Ji Qingzhou: ...
No, it's not necessary!
But outside the painted red palace wall, there is a corner that will never be exposed to the sun.
It is located in the northeast corner of the imperial city of the Yu Dynasty.
