Chapter 68(1/2)
Relieving the Serious Trouble
Mother?
Is this the queen?
Huang Lin, wearing a navy blue robe and a masked head, stood in the shadow of the corner and looked at the two of them curiously.
In such a remote palace, there is only one palace maid, a cold palace, right?
"What about the Queen Mother? Which star is the Queen Mother?"
While thinking about it, I saw the child named Youer asking again.
"Haha. Isn't Queen Mother by your side? She hasn't turned into a star yet. Well, it's cold outside. Go inside and Queen Mother will comb your hair."
After saying that, Huang Lin saw the "mother queen" taking You'er's little hand and entering the house.
The prince was raised in a cold palace?
Gossip surges inside.
He eavesdropped on the conversation between the two people. Although it was mostly the "mother" coaxing the child, he also picked up some information.
This child named You'er should be a prince who was secretly born. His biological mother is dead, otherwise he wouldn't have been hungry all day and come here looking for food, and he wouldn't be so thin with no one to take care of his hair.
I felt pity for this child in my heart. This harem fight was much more dangerous than Huashan.
After a long time, the child clutched half of the uneaten cake and walked out of the palace garden alone in his ill-fitting cotton clothes.
Huang Lin followed him all the way, and You'er seemed to be very familiar with this place. After twists and turns, he arrived at an uninhabited courtyard.
Entering the innermost room, I touched half a candle from somewhere and lit it skillfully.
The hut was lit with dim candlelight.
The child stared at the half piece of cake and swallowed his saliva. In the end, he was reluctant to eat it and walked towards a low cabinet, seemingly ready to save it.
"Can't bear to eat?"
Huang Lin couldn't help it. This child was so pitiful.
"Pa~"
The child suddenly heard a voice and almost jumped up in fright, and half of the cake fell to the ground.
He covered his mouth with his little hand, suppressing the sound he just shouted, as if he didn't dare to disturb others.
Does this mean you know you can’t be exposed?
"Don't be afraid. If you are hungry, come and eat this. It's freshly cooked."
Huang Lin took out a food box from behind, placed the food on the table, and spoke.
At this time, he had taken off his turban and the wrapping cloth on his head, and he looked like an ordinary person.
These meals are usually prepared in the inn and stored on the deduction plate. There are many kinds of dishes.
Four plates of soup, some meat and some vegetarian, and a big bowl of rice, all steaming hot.
"Are you the father-in-law of the palace?"
Seeing Huang Lin's kind face, the child calmed down a little, picked up the half piece of cake, blew on it, and whispered.
When Huang Lin heard this, he almost flipped the table!
Oh my god, father-in-law!
He just went to the palace to try his luck and see if he could find the "Sunflower Book", but he had no intention of practicing it!
Don't be angry or angry, he is still a child. There are no other men in such a large harem except the emperor, so he doesn't understand how normal it is.
"I'm not my father-in-law, what's your name?"
"My name is Zhu You'er. I'll be six years old soon."
Zhu Youer reported his name, counted his fingers, blinked his clear eyes, and asked curiously:
"You don't have a beard, so why aren't you my father-in-law? My mother said that the one with the beard is my father-in-law, and the one without the beard is the father-in-law!"
He was so courageous that he wasn't afraid at all now.
"You are still young and don't understand. You will understand later. Were you not full just now? Come here and have some soup first."
Huang Lin didn't explain any more. Seeing Zhu Youer staring at the food on the table and swallowing his saliva, he asked him to come over.
This kid was so well-educated that he didn't start eating directly, but bowed to him first.
"Thank you, this one."
The little head was tilted, as if he didn't know what to call it.
"Just call me Brother Huang."
Huang Lin smiled and served him a bowl of soup first.
"Thank you, Brother Huang. You'er hasn't eaten hot food for a long time."
Zhu Youer cheered and then covered her mouth nervously. Her voice was a little louder just now.
Huang Lin's heart trembled. He probably knew some of the rules in the palace. Meals were brought by the palace servants after the time was up, and they were taken back immediately after the meal was finished. The "mother's" cake just now was probably saved for You'er.
Bar?
He's almost six years old. He's only so young, so I'm afraid he's suffered a lot.
Fortunately, I didn't travel through time and become this child, otherwise it would have been miserable!
After Zhu Youer was full, Huang Lin took the remaining food back into the food box.
Leaving this thing behind will only harm this kid. Zhu Youer seems to understand the reason, but his eyes are quite reluctant to give up.
Huang Lin touched his little head, stood up, picked up the food box, and prepared to go out.
He also wanted to go to the palace and look around again to see if he was lucky enough to find the "Sunflower Book".
"Brother Huang, will you come again tomorrow?"
There is a prayer in the child's voice.
Huang Lin paused and turned around to see those black and white eyes full of desire.
With a sigh in his heart, he turned around and sat down again.
Forget it, who told you to close your eyes? You are smart and well-behaved, and you are so sensible at such a young age that it makes people feel bad.
"The palace is no better than the outside. It's inconvenient for Brother Huang to come here every day. Your body is not in good shape. Let me help you take a look."
Huang Lin saw that he was thin. If he continued like this, he probably wouldn't be able to live for a few years. It would be impossible to teach him the skills. He wouldn't be able to get enough to eat. Regardless of the internal and external skills, the more he practiced, the faster he would die.
After checking Zhu Youer's pulse, Huang Lin frowned.
The inner vision function cannot see the meridians in other people's bodies, but when he used his true energy to examine it, he found that Zhu Youer's meridians were narrow and severely atrophied, which was not what a child under six years old should have.
"Brother Huang, are you doing this magic? Youer feels like something is moving around inside his body."
Zhu Youer's eyes were full of curiosity and he couldn't help but twist his body.
"Haha, it's not a magical method, it's true energy. Okay, go sit cross-legged on the bed, and Brother Huang will help you adjust your body."
Huang Lin said warmly.
Zhu Youer's meridians were too fragile, so Huang Lin didn't dare to act blindly. He carefully allowed the zhenqi to circulate in his body for two weeks, and then left another one to nourish his body, which could last for about seven days.
In fact, internal force can also be used, but it doesn't last as long as true energy.
After everything was done, Huang Lin was sweating profusely.
"It's so comfortable. My body is warm. Thank you, Brother Huang."
Zhu Youer turned around and saw Huang Lin sweating, so he picked up his sleeve and wiped it on his face.
Huang Lin did not refuse his kindness. After he finished wiping, he said:
"It's getting late. It's time for me to leave. You should go to bed early and don't mention me to anyone, otherwise it will hurt everyone. Do you understand?"
"Youer knows, just like you can't let others discover Youer, right? Otherwise, the queen mother, the concubine-in-law, and many other people will die, right?"
Zhu Youer nodded quickly, his face very serious.
Tsk, the soft spot in my heart was hit again.
"As long as you understand, I'm leaving."
After saying that, Huang Lin got up and got out of bed, ready to go out.
If he didn't leave, he was afraid he would have to take the child out.
"Brother Huang, when will you come again?"
Zhu Youer's voice sounded again behind him. He held back this time, waved his hand, and said as he walked:
"Let's go in a few days. It's too troublesome to come in. I can't tell the time."
"Oh Yuer, I know."
