"Carrying a cloth bag?" Su Jin was surprised, thought for a moment and asked, "Which direction did he go to?"
The little eunuch pointed: "It seems to be in the direction of the Leng Palace in the back."
"Leng Gong? What is he doing in Leng Gong?" Su Jin said to herself, suddenly remembered something, and followed the direction of the little eunuch's finger, heading in the direction of Leng Gong.
The Cold Palace is located in the most remote and deserted part of the palace. It is the residence of the disgraced concubines of the royal families of the past.
However, because Mo Chuan ascended the throne at a young age and never married a concubine, the palace had never had a new person in more than ten years. All the people living in the palace were concubines who had made mistakes during the reign of the previous emperor and were imprisoned.
It's just that after so many years, these concubines have grown old and died, and few of them still live here.
The cold palace has been in disrepair for a long time, and the air of decadence can be seen everywhere.
As soon as Xiao Si opened the door of Leng Palace, he smelled a moldy and rotten smell that hit his nose, choking him and coughing repeatedly.
"The smell here is really bad." He pinched his nose and waited outside the door for a long time, then stepped through the dilapidated door and entered the cold palace, looking up at this place he had never been before.
In front of him was a large courtyard, square and covered with grass.
Surrounding the courtyard are houses one after another. Each house is not big, but most of them are empty. Only a few houses can be seen as still occupied by people.
Presumably the people living here are the concubines of the previous dynasty who fell out of favor and made mistakes.
Perhaps because they are older, these people rarely go out and walk around, and they rarely come to the yard to relax.
There are no eunuchs or maids serving in the cold palace, only one cook in the kitchen who comes at a fixed time every day to deliver food, which is just the leftover food from others.
But these rotten rice and rotten food are also the most important things in the eyes of the people living in this cold palace. Without this food, they would have starved to death long ago.
Although there is no hope in life, no one wants to die like this. It is always good to live one more day.
It was obviously not the time to deliver food, so even though the people in the cold palace heard the door knock, no one showed up.
They didn't have the extra energy to see who was coming outside, and they wouldn't be letting them out anyway.
"Hey, it seems I've come to the right place. There are so many rats here."
Xiaosi didn't care about the fate of these concubines in the cold palace. It was too far away from his world. He just thought that there must be a lot of rats here.
Sure enough, with a quick glance, he saw the rat slithering through the grass. It was huge and not afraid of people.
He bent down and grabbed a handful of gravel, staring closely at a big mouse. Seeing it just emerging from the grass, he flicked his fingers and the pebbles flew over with a "swishing" sound. On the head of that big rat.
The mouse let out a scream, turned over on its belly and died.
"Hehehe! Although I can't beat Zhui Feng, my ability to fight mice is definitely not as good as Zhui Feng's."
Xiao Si smiled proudly.
He walked over, picked up the dead mouse, and put it into a cloth bag. When he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he found another one.
But this one was obviously much more flexible than the previous one. It actually dodged the rocks thrown by Xiao Si, and then scurried across the corridor and into a room.
"Run? Let's see where you can run! If I don't kill you, you stinky rat, today, my little fourth will be a rat!"
