On this day, Eunuch Li called Ye Cheng to his bed.
"Xiao Chengzi, I can't take it anymore. I'm leaving. In the future, I'll leave the library to you. Remember, you can't read the books in the inner room, and don't go to the back mountain either. That's a forbidden area.”
Ye Cheng could sense that Eunuch Li's life force was getting weaker and weaker, and he knew that he was on the verge of death.
He was a little sad. He had been with this old eunuch for more than two years. Although they did not usually meet much, he did not feel too lonely in the palace.
"Eunuch, I'll remember it."
Ye Cheng said as he held Eunuch Li's skinny hand.
"Also, there is a secret compartment under my desk. There are dozens of taels of silver in it. It is all my savings in this life. When the people in the funeral room are here, give half of it to them to manage and ask them to find a better place for me to be buried.”
Eunuch Li pointed at the desk.
After saying that, he stared at Ye Cheng with wide eyes.
Ye Cheng sighed inwardly. He knew that this was Eunuch Li's final request and immediately nodded in agreement.
For an old eunuch like Eunuch Li, who had spent his entire life in the Palace and had no one to rely on, having a burial place after death was the greatest comfort.
Eunuch Li died just like that.
Ye Cheng took out a box from the secret compartment of his desk. Inside was a large amount of silver pieces. It was unknown how Eunuch Li had managed to accumulate them.
To those powerful eunuchs, this was nothing. But to an old eunuch who had spent his entire life in an unpopular department, this was already a lifetime savings.
Ye Cheng immediately informed the funeral room, which was the department that dealt with dead eunuchs and palace maids.
In the inner palace, the number of eunuchs and serving girls who died a normal death was actually very small. This was because eunuchs and serving girls would usually leave the palace when they were older. They would arrange for the rest of their lives early on.
For example, Eunuch Li was only in the library pavilion. If he was in any other department, he would have left the palace long ago.
Most of the deaths were due to various reasons.
Ye Cheng didn't leave behind a single tael of silver and gave it all to the person in charge of the funeral room, asking him to arrange a good place for Eunuch Li to be buried.
"Don't worry, we're paid to do things.”
The person in charge of the funeral room patted Ye Cheng's shoulder and smiled."Little eunuch, you're quite affectionate.”
Given the indifference and selfishness of the people in the Inner Palace, it was extremely rare for Ye Cheng not to take Eunuch Li's silver.
With that, he led the eunuchs to carry Eunuch Li's body away.
Just like that, the library pavilion became even more deserted.
Even Eunuch Li had left.
Only Ye City and a mysterious eunuch were left.
The back mountain of the forbidden area?
Could it be that the mysterious eunuch was hiding in the back mountain?
Ye Cheng didn't have any thoughts of probing further. Cultivating quietly was the way to go.
He was only at Xiantian first grade. It was far from enough.
Without Eunuch Li, life in Ye City was even more leisurely.
On this day, Ye Cheng received a notice that the Third Prince was coming to read.
This Third Prince was the one who often came to read books.
Ye Cheng could only prepare in advance.
The next day, the Third Prince came to the library pavilion with a group of eunuchs and serving girls.
This time, Ye Cheng was able to distinguish their cultivation levels.
None of them had reached the Connate Realm.
The strongest old eunuch should be at Houtian ninth stage.
He thought that the Third Prince would enter the library as usual, but he suddenly stopped and looked at Ye Cheng."Why are you alone?"
"Your Highness, Third Prince, Eunuch Li passed away some time ago.”
Ye Cheng said.
"Oh, I see."
The Third Prince nodded and walked in without saying anything.
Half an hour later, a eunuch came out and said to Ye Cheng,""His Highness has something to ask you.”
Ye Cheng followed the eunuch into an empty room in the library pavilion. A familiar sandalwood fragrance wafted out.
It was obvious that the Third Prince liked to use sandalwood.
"Your Highness, that little eunuch from the library pavilion has arrived.”
"Yes, I want to find a book called Mountain and River Biography. They can't find it. Do you know where it is?”
The Third Prince looked at Ye Cheng and asked.
"Your Majesty, I'll bring it to you now.”
Ye Cheng said.
In the past two years, he hadn't read all the books, but he had glanced at most of them. Moreover, his memory had become extremely good in this life. He had a photographic memory and could remember them with just a glance.
Soon, Ye Cheng passed the Mountain River Small Pass to the Third Prince.
"Little Wei Zi, reward one tael."
After the Third Prince received the Mountain and River Legend, he gave an order and began to flip through it.
When Ye Cheng left, he received a tael of gold as a reward.
This was the first time he had received a reward from a noble.
Presumably, the silver that Eunuch Li had accumulated should have been rewarded in this way.
In the next two years, the Third Prince came to the library pavilion to read more frequently.
Ye City is so annoying.
Although he could receive rewards every time, he did not care about this bit of money at all.
Ye Cheng's cultivation had also reached Xiantian seventh grade.
The higher the cultivation, the slower the cultivation speed.
It would take him several months to break through to Rank One.
In fact, this speed was already extremely terrifying.
Ye Cheng sighed with emotion. Time passed so quickly. He had already stayed in the library pavilion for five years.
Speaking of which, he had yet to meet the third eunuch of the library pavilion.
Suddenly, Ye Cheng unexpectedly discovered a problem. The Third Prince had not come for a while.
It was better if he didn't come.
However, this situation did not last long. A eunuch hurried over and handed a set of white mourning clothes to Ye Cheng, saying,"When His Majesty passes away, everyone in the palace must wear mourning clothes.”
"The Emperor is dead?"
Ye Cheng was a little surprised.
No wonder the Third Prince didn't have time to come.
But who was the new emperor?
However, whoever became the emperor had nothing to do with him.
In any case, he was too far away from the center of the imperial power. It would not affect him at all, unless something shocking happened.
It was impossible to wear mourning clothes.
Anyway, no one would know whether he wore it or not.
He was alone in the library pavilion, and no one came back to care about him.
