Chapter 606: Abandoned Child (10)
"You can't sleep, Wu Chengyin, you can't sleep!" A voice in his heart reminded him.
Suddenly, he saw a small bag dropped beside the bed. An idea came to his mind, and he moved his body with difficulty to hook the bag over.
He took the bag and opened it, and inside were the two little finger-sized blue and purple sugar pills that he had picked up. In order to avoid being discovered by others, Wu Chengyin stuffed the sugar pills into his mouth without saying a word.
The sweet taste in his mouth made Wu Chengyin feel warm in his heart. He closed his eyes, but his body suddenly became light. When he opened his eyes, he saw blue and purple surrounding him, and the pain was easing.
"I..." Realizing that he could speak, Wu Chengyin covered his mouth. The injuries on his body were recovering. After a burst of itchiness, he returned to normal. He excitedly held a corner of the bed.
"No, I can't let people outside know that I'm abnormal."
After calming down, Wu Chengyin thought about his future life. This was the cold palace of the Xin Dynasty and he couldn't be trapped in this place forever. His brother the emperor and his mother needed him and he had to grow up quickly.
The image of the fairy lazing by the lotus pond popped into his mind. He took the food that the palace maid had placed aside and started eating it. Even though it was just simple cabbage and steamed buns, he enjoyed it with relish.
It is impossible for the people from the emperor's brother's side to enter the Xin Dynasty Palace, which is full of traps. There are many extraordinary people around to protect the safety of the palace. He cannot just sit there and wait to die.
But he had no master or assistant, could not go in and out freely, and had no money to bribe the palace servants. How could he gain a foothold in this place?
Suddenly, Wu Chengyin remembered the secret manual of martial arts that he had memorized. No matter how hard he tried to learn it, it didn't work, so he had given up. What if he found the trick?
Thinking of this, Wu Chengyin reviewed the secret books he had memorized. He had memorized two of them, one was Xuwuji, which had no effect after practicing, and the other was Tongshen Xiaoyaosan, which would cause dizziness after practicing.
After carefully looking at the situation outside, Wu Chengyin turned back, sat cross-legged on the straw mat, and began to try some of his internal exercises.
A few hours later, Wu Chengyin suddenly opened his eyes, took a long breath, the internal force in his body was surging, and he seemed to have comprehended some of the wonderful things in it.
A few days later...
"Anyway, he's just a mute, and he still needs me to deliver food to him every day. I'll have to work hard for a few days. When the princess and the prince come, I'll take him away and play with him for ten days or half a month. Then I'll be able to relax."
Hearing what the palace maid who brought the food said, Wu Chengyin hurried back to lie down on the bed.
The palace maid who pushed the door open couldn't help but frown and complained: "It stinks."
Looking at the empty bowl on the ground, she smiled and said, "Oh, let me tell you, no matter what kind of prince you were before, now that you are in this place, the decision for you is entirely up to our mood."
"what……"
After she finished speaking, the maid twisted Wu Chengyin's arm. Seeing him screaming in pain, she couldn't help but laugh: "Although he's dumb, he can still be teased like a dog. See you tomorrow!"
Knowing that Wu Chengyin couldn't speak, the palace maid felt embarrassed and just picked up the empty bowl and left.
After the palace maid closed the door, Wu Chengyin came back to his senses, closed his eyes, and suddenly the scene of the palace maid being beaten to death by a eunuch flashed in his mind, and it was extremely clear.
He felt like he was crazy and drank the thin porridge. The most important thing at the moment was to stay alive.
At noon the next day, Wu Chengyin heard the door open. Two lame eunuchs placed food beside his bed, reached in to check his breath, and breathed a sigh of relief to see that he was still alive.
"Not dead, not dead."
After the man left, Wu Chengyin opened his eyes and shook his head. He seemed to have just seen a charcoal seller frozen to death on the street.
He didn't know why he encountered this situation, so he could only write it down, thinking that it might be related to the sugar pills he took that night...
"Remember, only those who come out alive can be considered to have passed the final round of tests and become His Highness's right-hand man."
Gu Yuxi held a sharp sword in her hand and followed the others into the foggy mountains. After all the people had dispersed, she lazily leaned against a tree to rest.
Wu Dejing has recently stepped up his efforts to cultivate his power. It is impossible for these people to die easily. If they really cannot become secret guards, they can go to Wu Dejing's farm to farm.
Today her assessment project is to go into the deep mountains and dense forests to collect century-old ginseng. Others' projects include hunting wild boars and looking for some hidden information, but they are all watched by secret guards and sometimes there will be assassination teams for the assessment.
[Sister Xi, the bayberries on that tree are delicious.]
After Xiao Ke reminded him, Gu Yuxi flew up the tree using the branches and started picking bayberries. The black and purple bayberries were very sweet.
"It's delicious, really delicious." After saying that, Gu Yuxi picked a lot of bayberries, and suddenly hit a pheasant with a stone in his hand.
"Hahaha, today's lunch is you... and your eggs."
Ye Qi, who was in charge of supervision, was attracted by a fragrance. Following the fragrance, he saw Gu Yuxi roasting chicken and eggs not far away.
Seeing Gu Yuxi being so lazy, he quickly ran to her side and put a dagger against her neck, but she didn't react at all.
"Brother Ye Qi, we are all family, don't be so serious."
"Seventeen, this is my secret guard assessment. How can you behave like this?" Ye Qi put away the dagger and couldn't help swallowing when he saw the pheasant eggs sizzling with oil on the stone slab.
"Na!"
After taking the bayberry, he only heard Gu Yuxi say: "It's just looking for ginseng, simple. If it doesn't work, I'll go to my farm to farm."
"Do you think I want to take you to that kind of place? He wants to..."
"I know, but I also need to eat. The roast chicken is almost cooked. I found the ginseng and will be back soon."
"This is not a joke!" Ye Qi said angrily.
Looking at Gu Yuxi, who was much shorter than him, Ye Qi couldn't say anything else harsh. He could only take the chicken leg that Gu Yuxi handed over. His attention was diverted for a moment.
"Is it delicious?"
"Mm, the skin is crispy and the meat is tender, very delicious, and this egg is different too."
"This is my secret seasoning. Please leave some for me."
Gu Yuxi and Ye Qi started fighting for food, and ten eggs and a chicken were solved by the two of them.
"Girl, why don't you be a cook? It's better than licking blood on the tip of a knife."
"What about you? Why do you want to..."
"My master saved my life, and my life belongs to him in this life. When he succeeds in taking the throne, the grievances and enemies of my family will be severely punished."
"That's what he told me. It's one thing to work for him with all my heart, but I also have my own choices. I must avenge my mother-in-law."
Seeing Gu Yuxi's eyes full of hatred for evil, Ye Qi had no words of comfort and could only accompany her quietly. In the end, he was actually ordered to dig ginseng!
