-n Mori! If it is used to make horror movies, the box office is definitely soaring! "

After walking along the seven winding palace corridors for a while, Zi Li hasn't met a single person yet. He can't help but rejoice for his good fortune. At the same time, he wonders why there is not even a maid in such a big palace? As I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a sound of tampering with things.

Zili followed the sound curiously, and began to smell a strong scent of medicine in the air before he even reached it.

I saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy crouching under the eaves, pounding medicinal materials with his head buried. There were still a few unnamed Chinese medicines beside him, and a drag of powdered medicine was spreading in the courtyard outside the house.

"Hello!" Zi Li approached, greeted as pleasantly as possible.

The other party obviously didn't expect anyone to be there. He froze and raised his head suddenly, and found that the person he had never seen was a young man with a dirty face and coat covered in mud.

"Who are you? What did you do here? If you let Master Li know, be careful that he peels you off!" Only when Zili was a servant in the temple, he accidentally broke in, so he kindly warned , I want Zili to leave as soon as possible.

But how can Zili be willing to go? He asked Xi_ng and knelt down, and said to the handsome young man: "Little brother Di, I'm not afraid of Master Li! Hey, can you tell me where this is?"

The young man looked at Zi Li strangely and said, "Aren't you a person in this palace? Why don't you know this is the Imperial Medical Hall?"

"Ah, it turned out to be the Imperial Medical Hall!" Zi Li nodded clearly, and then asked, "Since it is the Imperial Medical Hall, why can't I see other people?"

"This is not the main hall of the imperial medical hall, but a small pharmacy behind the hall. Naturally you can't see others, and not everyone likes to come here." The boy said, his expression was sad.

Unconsciously, Zi Li continued to ask: "Then why are you here?"

"I, I made a mistake, so I asked Master Li to come here to mash all these medicinal materials into powder." The young man was a little ashamed and could not answer honestly.

"You smashed so much?" Zili cried out astonished, pointing at the powdered medicine basking in the sun.

"Yeah." The boy nodded, "but these are less than half of what I want to do."

After the boy finished speaking, he stopped looking at Zili, lowered his head and continued his work of pounding medicine.

"There are so many medicinal materials for you, a child, to do it yourself. This is too much!" Zili saw that big and small blisters had formed on both palms of his hands, but he had not completed half of his task. If it is done, then his hands will almost be spent! Zi Li was angry and unbearable.

He grabbed the hammer from the young man's hand and said, "I'll help you pound, go and bandage your palms!"

"No;" The boy shook his head in surprise.

"Why not? It's okay, come on, I'll help you."

"So, thank you little brother!" The boy thanked him very gratefully. "Wait until I wrap up the injury, and then change it back to me!"

Chapter Six

For several days, Zili walked out of his secret passage to help the young man pound medicine, but every day when he returned to the temple, he had to lie in bed and be pounded.

Mingyue is very puzzled, why does His Highness, who has spent the whole afternoon sleeping every day, still screams of backache and numb hands and feet

Whenever she asked, Zi Li could only flicker over it vaguely.

Although Mingyue is unknown, I will not ask any more.

In fact, why Zili never regretted the vows she made in front of the teenager? This is a pampered, fine-skinned body. When did you do such physical work? And it's just a few days!

Zili complained of bitterness in her heart, but she couldn't show it in front of a young man. Who would call him the kind of person who "should be ashamed to support the stage"! Besides, Zili felt that this young man was pure-hearted, honest and gentle, and trusted himself as much as he did to his brother. Zili would not abandon him unscrupulously. And many inconvenient questions to Mingyue can also be inquired from the boy. Helping others and helping yourself is not without benefits.

However, there is a bit of resentment in my heart, no one can support him to send Xi-e, Zili had to work hard on the medicinal materials, while he spit.

Mo Hengfei scolded the black-hearted rich man Li, not only forcing cheap labor, but also illegally torturing child labor!

The teenager Mo Shou, who was pounding drugs, couldn't help but smiled, "Big Brother Su, if Master Li listens to your words, he will be so angry that he will stare in anger."

"Just blowing Hu's eyes? I still want him to vomit blood and cramps!" Zi Li disdainfully said.

The stubborn boy shook his head in an old-fashioned manner, and said with some worry: "Brother Su's Xi_ng son is really frank, but if this Xi_ng son is in this miserable palace, it may not be suitable!"

"Mo Shou, brother Mo, you don't have to worry about me for your eldest brother." Zili sat on the ground with an unimaginative butt, rubbing his sore arms and said, "Since I have been here for so long, I haven't been killed. , It means I still mix well, right?"

Mo Shou also sat on the floor for a rest, following Zi Li's appearance.

"But things in this palace are inaccurate. I am a favored lord today, and maybe tomorrow I will become a victim of the sword. It is always good to be cautious!"

His words made Zili feel tight, yes, what kind of place is this, not the modern age where the people are the masters, what human rights and freedoms do people under the feudal system have? As a proton now, isn't he a good example? Maybe he, who is still chatting with others, will be killed by a glass of poisoned wine or a Yi-n murder tomorrow.

The palace, the bloody mouth of this political tiger, is indeed a place that makes people tremble and panic. If you want to save your life under its sharp teeth, the only way is to escape far away!

Zi Li returned to the palace sadly and sat on the threshold in a daze.

"Oh, my lord, why are you sitting here?" The maid Chun Lan, who was walking out of the side hall, couldn't help but be surprised when she saw Zi Li sitting at the door of the bedroom with a dazed expression on her face.

After regaining his senses, Zi Li saw a light and beautiful girl walking towards this side with broken steps.

"It's Chun Lan."

"What? Your Highness is so unhappy to see that it's not Sister Mingyue?" Chun Lan grumbled dissatisfied. If she had never dared to speak to her in such a tone in the past, it's just that since her injury healed, her whole person has changed, and she has become very easy-going and docile. She is also polite to them, and her attitude is like treating one. Make friends. She was not afraid of these innocent jokes.

Sure enough, Zili Xiao said with a smile: "Hao Chunlan, who said I don't want to see you? It's just that I rarely see you next to me, so I feel a little surprised!"

"Humph, usually there are so many older sisters waiting by your side, how dare I approach a rough girl?" Chun Lan still pouted and complained.

Just as Zili didn't know how to coax this clever little girl, she heard a sweet and exquisite voice saying: "You little hoof, are you done? I ran to the pair of His Highness pouting and staring."

When the two turned their heads, they saw a slender young woman who looked like a weak willow, with a beautiful and refined appearance, walking over with her dress.

"Oh, Sister Mingyue, I didn't pouting and staring! And my work was done a long time ago. Shouldn't I come here to talk to your Highness?"

"You girl, the bigger you are, the more unruly. Let's not talk about this, just look at your current appearance. How can you stand tall and talk to the master?" The maid Mingyue put out the rules and wanted to suppress the food. Chunlan who is soft and afraid of hardship.

"Oh, elder sister, if you say so, why are you standing tall and talking in front of the master? Look, you stand taller than me?" Chun Lan chuckled and turned her lips back.

"You" Mingyue was blushed by her choking.

Zili who was watching the battle also "pushed" a laugh.

This made Mingyue even more embarrassed. She stomped her foot and said, "If I don't tear your girl's mouth today, I won't be Mingyue!"

"Oh, I just started to talk about it! Temple!
