After the divorce, the four big guys became my servants

But that person had disappeared in the crowd.

She didn't think any more and continued walking towards the East Palace.

On the other side, Yuan Jinglie walked forward aimlessly with empty eyes.

There were a lot of people on the street today, with laughter and joy, but he still felt lonely.

He came to Chai'an to find her.

But that day, the gatekeeper of General Mingxi's mansion drove him away with disdain: "Go away, go away, don't you see where you are? How dare you come to the Meng Mansion to beg for food?"

Who would allow a beggar into the house?

He had no choice but to leave, penniless and unable to live in the huge Chai'an. He had no choice but to find a job to earn some money and buy clean clothes.

But none of Chai An's shops were willing to hire him, as they all said that he would scare the customers.

Qianxianglou finally hired him, but he messed up the job again within two days.

Yuan Jinglie felt a little regretful.

Maybe he should go back and apologize to that fat-faced young man.

But his deep self-esteem wouldn't allow it.

This is useless self-esteem.

The young man sighed softly. He was only fourteen years old, but this life was making him feel suffocated.

"Help...Help..." At this time, a faint cry for help came from the dark alley.

Yuan Jinglie had a keen sense of hearing and quickly found the source of the sound and trotted over.

A middle-aged man was half lying on the ground, his face was pale and beads of sweat were on his face.

Yuan Jinglie noticed the small porcelain bottle that had fallen to the ground, with a few black pills scattered around it.

He picked up the porcelain bottle, squatted beside the man, and asked, "How many do you want to eat?"

“1…” Fortunately, the man was still conscious.

Yuan Jinglie quickly poured out a pill and stuffed it into the man's mouth.

After a while, the man finally recovered, got up from the ground and thanked him.

"Thank you for saving my life, my friend. I am Xu Bo, the steward of the General's Mansion in Mingxi. If there is anything I can help you with in the future, please come to the General's Mansion to find me. I am willing to do my best to help you."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Jinglie's expression changed.

It is really another village with hidden flowers and bright flowers.

"If you are willing to help, I have something to ask of you now." He seized the opportunity and immediately asked, "Uncle Xu, can you take me into the Meng Mansion? I can do anything for you. I have nowhere else to go."

Xu Bo stared at his blue eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Of course you can, but you have to cover your eyes."

"Of course I don't look down on you, I'm just afraid... afraid that others will have opinions."

He was afraid that his savior would misunderstand him, so he hurried to explain.

Yuan Jinglie just nodded: "I understand, as long as you are willing to take me in, I will be very grateful."

Xu Bo breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he brought the thin boy back to the general's mansion.

In order to repay his kindness, he specially arranged Yuan Jinglie to live in his wife's Wan Pavilion, where he usually swept the floor and trimmed the flowers and plants. He also appointed a servant named Hu Zi to teach him to be familiar with the affairs of the courtyard.

Yuan Jinglie was very grateful.

That day, he was finally able to take a shower, change into clean clothes, and tie up his messy hair.

He looked at himself in the mirror and thought: I can finally see her like a human being.

After a while, Yuan Jinglie walked out of the room.

Hu Zi was waiting outside. He glanced at him and was stunned.

The servant uniforms of the Meng Mansion are blue-gray in color and look very old-fashioned, but they look particularly good on Yuan Jinglie.

Because his skin is naturally white, his eyebrows and eyes are like landscape paintings, and his eyes are upturned, graceful and beautiful. He has black pupils, a high nose bridge, and thin and rosy lips. He is a very beautiful boy.

The eyepatch on the other eye looks like a flaw in a beautiful jade.

Hu Zi was curious: Is he blind in one eye?

He actually asked, and after a moment of shock, Yuan Jinglie nodded and said, "I accidentally got blinded before."

Hu Zi felt that this little brother was very pitiful and secretly decided to take better care of him in the future.

East Palace.

There were only two guards left at the gate of the desolate palace. Perhaps because it was the Winter Festival today, the two guards were not very attentive and were chatting about family matters.

Meng Zhaoge carried two prepared vegetable baskets and walked towards the gate of the East Palace.

The guard saw that it was the person delivering the food and stopped her.

One of them picked up a carrot and ate it, and asked, "Didn't you just come to deliver it three days ago? Why are you here again?

"...Thank you for your hard work, my two brothers. You still have to guard this deserted place today during the winter festival." Meng Zhaoge did not answer first. Instead, he gave each of them a pot of wine.

The two guards gladly accepted it and said with a smile, "Thank you very much, little brother."

"What are you thanking me for? It's no big deal." Meng Zhaoge was very good at getting close to others. He leaned in closer and said in an awkward tone: "It's like this—"

"As for me, I bought too many vegetables and was afraid that my boss would scold me when I got home. So I thought that there was a place to store these extra vegetables..."

At this point, Meng Zhaoge looked regretful: "It's all my fault for being careless. I won't make the same mistake again next time. Just this time, please help me, big brothers."

Upon hearing this, the guard patted her shoulder cheerfully and said, "Okay, it's a piece of cake, just go and come back soon."

Meng Zhaoge hurriedly thanked him.

She walked into the East Palace, trying to find Yu Wenlian's residence.

But as she was wandering around in the yard, a force from behind restrained her.

No one knew when that person came over. Before Meng Zhaoge could react, a knife was pressed against his neck.

She was startled and quickly explained: "I'm here to deliver food."

"You're lying." The man said in a sinister voice, "Food is only delivered once every seven days. How could you come four days in advance?"

Meng Zhaoge was really afraid that he would take action. Apart from Yuwen Qi, there was only one secret guard in the Eastern Palace who killed without blinking an eye.

In his previous life, after Yuwen Lian fell, this secret guard loyal to the Eastern Palace had assassinated Yuwen Qi.

The more than 30 guards surrounding Yuwen Qi were no match for him. Unfortunately, when he was about to catch Yuwen Qi, Meng Changning pushed her out first.

The secret guard stabbed her in the chest, and when he wanted to continue to chase Yuwenqi, the imperial guards arrived. The secret guard, exhausted, was eventually shot to death by arrows.

She was seriously injured and dying. After waking up, she asked Yuwen Qi to punish Meng Changning, but was scolded by Yuwen Qi.

She always thought that it was because Yuwen Qi loved Meng Changning so much that he was reluctant to punish her.

It was not until she died in her previous life that Meng Changning came to see her in the prison and told her the truth.

It turned out that it was Yuwen Qi who took the initiative to hint to Meng Changning to use her as a scapegoat that day.

Waking up from his memories, Meng Zhaoge cleared his throat and said calmly, "Your name is Black Eagle, right? I am the one who delivered the note to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that day. I want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

There was no way, the other party was too fierce, she could only confess.

Black Hawk narrowed his eyes: "Why should I believe you?"

"If you don't believe me, how can I help your master?" Meng Zhaoge didn't want to waste any more time with him, and said, "If I wanted to harm the prince, with my body, are you afraid that I can't subdue me?"

Black Hawk was silent for a moment, then put down the knife.

Meng Zhaoge was able to turn around and see his face.

He is a handsome man, but his thin eyelids are like sharp blades, and he looks like someone who is not someone to be trifled with.

"Don't play tricks." Black Hawk just said this and dragged her to find Yu Wenlian.

At the westernmost end of the East Palace there is a two-story attic with green tiles, red eaves, carved railings and jade bricks. From inside there came the sound of a zither.

The music played is like the sound of mountains and flowing water.

After walking up, the figure in green behind the curtain just stopped playing the piano.
