109. The past

The story begins when autumn begins.

Several ministers in the Liang Dynasty were found to be related to the trafficking case, opening convenient doors for those scum of the world, serving as their protective umbrellas, and covering the government.

Because Su Dingyuan, the pillar of the country, submitted a memorial, and the matter was indeed extremely evil, it was severely investigated and was implicated very widely for a while.

The censor Yan Cong was imprisoned and asked to behead him. His son Yan Yushu was implicated. Although he was not executed, he entered the palace in vain and lost his future.

Yan Yushu's body was weak, and after being wiped out, he became even more ill and was almost thrown out by the head of the palace.

Later, perhaps he was concerned that he was a descendant of an official, and had some relationship with the general's mansion, or perhaps he was conscientious to discover that the eunuch in charge bought a few medicines, which saved his life.

Yan Yushu has to do a lot of work every day. Temples like him who have just entered the palace are not qualified to serve those noble people. What he does is chopping firewood, boiling water, cleaning the toilet in the courtyard, and the only people he comes into contact with are the temples who are in the same courtyard as him.

Without permission, they cannot have any entanglements with the temples in other courtyards, nor can they have any contact with the palace maids. Even if they stop and say a few more words, they will be held accountable.

Because of the same illness, Yan Yushu got along well with several temple people in the same hospital. He was proficient in music, poetry, and came from a famous family and had a temperament. He was naturally outstanding and became the leader among these poor and poor companions who were sold into the palace.

During the first time I entered the palace, although Yan Yushu was depressed, with these new companions, even if they were hard to finish their daily work, it was not difficult to sleep when they were touched by the bed.

He was a cheerful person, and although he still held grudges in his heart, he gradually got used to everything in front of him over time.

But the palace walls are vast and there are spring and autumn inside, but it is difficult for a eunuch who does not understand martial arts.

Especially, he is still a eunuch with a pretty face and a more beautiful face than a woman.

There are always people from other courtyards who come to find fault. When they look at Yan Yushu, they always make fun of them and say something dirty, but even if they have long lost their ability in that regard.

Or maybe, it is precisely because of what is missing that I always mention it deliberately, as if this can make you feel comforted and fill the storefront.

Yan Yushu doesn't know martial arts, so he will definitely not be able to beat them. Moreover, the other party has early entry into the palace and naturally has a wide connection.

Of course, the connections here are just the bottom of the palace. Not to mention the nobles in the palace, even when facing those affairs, they can only be timid, fearing that they will drop thunder.

Yan Yushu was already impulsive, and he felt even more angry. At that time, he could no longer help but fight at all costs.

Of course, he would not be the opponent of those people. He was quickly knocked to the ground, and the punches and kicks fell on his body were like raindrops. Instead of curling up and lying on the ground and being beaten, he stood up again and again and then was knocked down.

He never was discouraged, even if he was covered in bruises.

Perhaps, I wanted to be beaten to death like this, at least when I was bloody.

The temple people were tired of being beaten, and he vomited blood from his mouth and struggled to slap the rude person.

Yan Yushu was so fierce that he was still knocked to the ground.

There is a palace maid named Xiaoyu in the laundry room in the palace. Her family is poor and she is sold to the palace by her parents. However, she is cheerful and understands her parents' difficulties. Even the monthly money will be sent home, and she would rather go hungry and freeze by herself.

That day, she saw Yan Yushu being beaten up and unable to stand up, in the corner of the palace wall.

Then, the eunuchs were sneakingly trying to take off his clothes, trying to humiliate them.

Xiaoyu stood up and saved Yan Yushu.

In the palace, except for those temples at the level of the general manager, the status of eunuchs is always inferior to that of the palace maids, because no one knows who the mistresses of these palace maids would be.

Either a certain eunuch who was fighting for food or those strong patrol guards, they may also be lucky enough to be visited by the prince.

Although Xiaoyu is a thin little girl, she is already a bit charming. Who knows whether she will know a lucky palace maid?

So, the eunuchs ran away.

Xiaoyu entered the palace early and asked for herbs from her sister she knew, which saved Yan Yushu's life.

By chance, the two became friends.

In the palace, it is difficult to have someone who can speak, so naturally they cherish it. However, due to the rules, they don’t have many opportunities to speak, and when they speak, Yan Yushu often talks and she listens.

Yan Yushu talked about his life and the people who ruined him to such a field, but he obviously should have a grudge, but he always couldn't hate him.

They were friends and brothers.

Not long after, his former friend entered the palace and it turned out that he was commended for cracking the trafficking case. He could go to the Royal Court to select martial arts secrets.

This is what Yan Yushu has longed for in the past. He wanted to become a hero of a generation and travel around the world, so he naturally became fascinated by the Imperial Court.

But now, he never has a chance.

That day, he was joking with people in the same hospital, but he deliberately hid here. Unexpectedly, the friend asked Xiaoyu to send a letter from home, or a secret book.

Watch the sword energy of the tide.

Yan Yushu went back to her room and was silent for a long time, and she didn't eat dinner.

It wasn't that reading the secret book and burying his head in practice. In fact, he couldn't put it down and wanted to practice immediately.

But he couldn't do it.

He could not practice martial arts. Yan Cong had long said that their Yan family had only literati and had no martial arts men, so they could not practice.

No matter how he practiced according to the exercises, he did not respond at all. Moreover, the beat he had suffered before also damaged his body.

Yan Yushu often vomits blood, but he never tells him, and no one knows about it.

That night he was in the room and did not sleep. He was in his arms with the sword energy of watching the tide, and he was silent until dawn.

Yan Yushu knew that this was Su Che's guilt and Su Che's intention. Not only did he not forget it himself, but even the other party had never forgotten it. The two of them would go on a chivalrous and righteous agreement together in the future.

He was happy, but in his heart, hatred was also intertwined, making him even more distressed. He didn't know how to deal with himself in the future, and whether he would never see Su Che.

And he couldn't practice this martial arts after all.

The next day, Yan Yushu walked out of the room and continued to chop firewood, boil water, wash clothes, endure the ridicule of other temples, or the strange eyes that some palace maids seemed to be.

This is true every day, every year.

...

"What happened later?" Su Che couldn't help asking.

Because I obviously didn't finish it here, such as how Yan Yushu later learned martial arts, how he became the close attendant of Concubine Wan, and was called "ancestor" by the temple people in the palace.

The story should have a beginning and an end.
