"Aiya!"
The old man slapped his thigh and frowned."How can this disciple of the Chief not know his place?!”
" This time, it was not easy for the imperial kitchen to recruit handymen, so I had the opportunity to arrange for them. Next time, it might be the turn of the other internal kitchen, or even the other departments of the Internal Affairs Bureau…"
"At that time, my old face will be useless. How can he miss such a good opportunity?!”
" This…" Li Qingyang was a little embarrassed. He couldn't say that he had personally seen Wei Xiaobao enter the eunuch recruitment office, right?!
"Sigh…"
The old man shook his head and whispered,"
"Xiao…Xiao Li, you stay here for a few days. Don't be impatient. Although our people have been arranged, we still have to wait for the right time.”
" In a few days, you'll have a presentable identity. At that time, it'll be much easier for you to move around…"
"Good!"
The old man nodded and sighed.
" Xiao Li, you go around first. I'll get someone to look for that brat…"
…………
Four hours later, the old man ran over to find Li Qingyang.
" What's wrong?!"
Li Qingyang looked at the constipated expression on the old man's face. It was unknown whether he was happy or worried. He found it a little funny.
"This…that little brat Wei Xiaobao ran off into the eunuch recruitment office and into the bathroom!!”
"Fortunately, he was blessed with great fortune and was taken in by Hai Dafu. He entered the respectful service room and is now called Little Chun.”
At this point, the old man added,
"This is a secret. He isn't on the list of eunuchs, and I deduced it based on many clues.”
The appearance of eunuchs in the palace who had not been removed from their roots was a huge crime. Who knew how many people would be beheaded?
"Elder Zhou, don't worry."
Li Qingyang nodded. He now knew that the old man's surname was Zhou and he was the tea assistant of the imperial kitchen and tea room. He could be considered to have some power.
"Xiao Li, this kid is one step ahead of you. Moreover, his identity as a eunuch of the Respect Chamber makes it easier for him to do things.”
"Sigh, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse now.”
Li Qingyang patted him on the shoulder." Elder Zhou, don't worry. That kid is very smart. There shouldn't be any problems."”
"Moreover, this way, the two of us can do both at the same time and attack from different aspects. It might be easier.”
"That's true."
The old man nodded.
On the second day, Li Qingyang got up and began his daily life as a servant in the imperial kitchen.
Chopping firewood, carrying water, starting a fire, burning charcoal, getting oil, delivering all kinds of things…these were the chores that the handymen were supposed to do.
Although it was a job in the imperial kitchen, there were even specialized people to wash the vegetables, let alone cut them. It was not the job of a handyman.
As noon approached, eunuchs filed in with food boxes in their hands and waited outside the dining room.
In the Imperial Palace, each palace and hall had their own private dining rooms, but that was a privilege only the imperial family and concubines enjoyed.
For example, the eunuch organizations such as the Minister's Office and the Minister of Rites, as well as the other departments such as the Ministry of Internal Affairs, did not have specialized chefs. They were all responsible for the management of the meals.
Wei Xiaobao held the lunchbox in his hand, his head drooping in dejection as he stood in line.
"One by one, don't fight for it…"
Seven or eight handymen took the food boxes and returned to the kitchen to pack them up. They then delivered them back and forth.
Wei Xiaobao's ears twitched as if he heard a familiar voice.
He raised his head and immediately noticed a certain figure. He was instantly overjoyed and threw the food box away.
"Big Brother Li, save me! Big Brother Li! I've finally found you!"
Wei Xiaobao rushed over and grabbed Li Qingyang's clothes, crying his eyes out.
"Little Treasure? You…"
Li Qingyang was stunned for a moment. Noticing the gazes around him, he quickly pulled him over.
"Come with me."
He pulled Wei Xiaobao along and walked a few steps. When they reached a slightly remote corner, he said in a low voice,
" What happened?!"
"Big Brother Li…"
Wei Xiaobao cried, his face covered in snot.
"Big Brother Li, you don't know, but I accidentally went to the wrong place and met a perverted eunuch called Hai Dafu.!!”
"That guy hid a pile of corpses bleeding from all seven orifices in his room!! And you want us to die…"
"A eunuch who didn't want to go and wanted to escape was beaten into pus by him with one palm!!”
Li Qingyang, who had already known the plot would develop, was not flustered. His voice was steady as he said,
"Tell me slowly, what exactly happened…"
As Wei Xiaobao recounted the events of the day, his tragic experiences were vividly reflected on the paper.
From the moment he accidentally barged into the bathroom and was taken away by Hai Dafu, everything that happened after that was almost exactly the same as what happened in the movie.
Hai Dafu ordered him to go to Cining Palace to steal Zheng Hongqi's 42 Chapters and even threatened him with the slow poison of the Melting Bone Soft Palm.
"Big Brother Li, save me! Big Brother Li…"
Wei Xiaobao rolled up his sleeve and a dark green thread extended from the center of his wrist to his elbow.
"Hai Dafu said that if this green line reaches my elbow, I'm dead!!”
" At that time, all the bones in my body will be shattered and I will turn into pus and die…"
Li Qingyang raised his hand, signaling for Wei Xiaobao to calm down. At the same time, he extended a hand and sent a faint golden inner force into Wei Xiaobao's body.
After a few breaths, he put down his hand and said with a solemn expression,"
" What a sinister internal force!!"
The Melting Bone Soft Palm was not so much a special inner force, but rather a special inner force circulation method.
The internal strength that was condensed in this way had an extremely strong corrosive ability to the human body, comparable to sulfuric acid.
Hai Dafu's Bone Melting Soft Palm was like a maggot in Wei Xiaobao's body.
Wei Xiaobao's heart sank when he saw Li Qingyang's expression.
"Big Brother Li…Don't tell me that even you can't do anything about it…"
Unlike the original plot, Wei Xiaobao had no choice but to follow Hai Dafu's orders.
But now, Wei Xiaobao felt that he had Li Qingyang to back him up. He had hope.
"My internal energy is enough to expel this insidious internal energy, but your body won't be able to withstand the collision and will destroy all your meridians!!”
Li Qingyang's expression was solemn as he shook his head and said,"
"I have to divide my inner energy to protect your meridians before expelling it. However, it would take more than double the amount of qi. My qi is insufficient, so I can only expel half of it.”
Wei Xiaobao's face lit up as he nodded.
"Big Brother Li, just banish half of them! The Bone Melting Soft Palm's slow-acting poison would take a month to take effect!”
"Today, you expel half of them and have a good rest. I'll come to you tomorrow and expel the other half.”
" How can there be such a good thing?!"
Li Qingyang shook his head." To expel this internal energy, we have to fight it!”
"Halfway through the battle, my internal strength will be insufficient. It will act up on the spot and you will still die!!”
"At most, he will die a pretty death. His entire body won't turn into pus. Only his internal organs will turn into pus and he will die from urinating blood.”
"Ah?"
Wei Xiaobao's face turned pale.
"Even Big Brother Li, you can't save me…then wouldn't I be dead for sure?!”
