If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

After Zhen Huan woke up, she tried to recover her physical condition. She also kept thinking about how to save herself. However, it was winter and the emperor did not come to the garden. Few people came to the garden. It was difficult for her to save herself. It was even more difficult to get someone to help her. It was also troublesome to bribe the people in the garden. After all, her money was almost spent. Zhen Huan fell asleep while thinking about the problem.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, I was suddenly woken up by someone, "My lady, my lady, Liu Zhu and Xiao Yunzi have been out for a long time and have not returned."

Zhen Huan was half asleep, but when she heard that Liu Zhu and Xiao Yunzi were in trouble, she immediately woke up, "Jin Xi, what did you say?"

"My lady, earlier this night, Liuzhu and Xiaoyunzi were going to the imperial kitchen to steal some rice. Before they left, we agreed that they would be back in an hour. When the time came at first, I thought they were just delayed, so I wanted to wait. But now two hours have passed and they haven't come back yet. I'm afraid something has happened." Jinxi explained to Zhen Huan anxiously.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Zhen Huan frowned. She knew that today might not be a good day.

"They've been there twice and nothing happened. Who knew they wouldn't come back today?" Jin Xi also regretted it, but she also hoped that they could bring back rice. After all, they all relied on the rice they brought back to survive.

Zhen Huan thought for a moment and immediately got up and dressed, "Let's go and take a look. I'm afraid this won't end well today." Fortunately, the room was quite cold and she wore more clothes when she slept. She could just get up, put on a coat and cloak and go out.

As soon as they reached the door, Zhen Huan said, "Take all the silver, money and jewelry we have left."

When the two arrived at the imperial kitchen, they were tied to the rockery nearby. Zhen Huan hurried forward to check their injuries, "How are you?"

It was obvious that the two had been beaten up. "Young Master, I, we are fine." Liu Zhu said intermittently.

She was outside keeping watch for Xiao Yunzi, but not long after Xiao Yunzi went in, someone covered her mouth from behind, and she knew that her day was over. Those people did not take her forward immediately, but waited until Xiao Yunzi went out before intercepting him. The two were caught red-handed. The steward of the imperial kitchen came out leisurely from the room next door at this time, without giving them a chance to speak. He directly ordered them to be beaten up, and then tied them up and thrown here. They must have been going to deal with them after dawn tomorrow, but they did not leave two people to watch them.

"Hurry up and untie them." Zhen Huan went to untie the rope on Liu Zhu, and Jin Xi untied the rope on Xiao Yunzi. Compared to Liu Zhu, Xiao Yunzi was beaten more badly, and it was so cold that he could not speak. Zhen Huan supported Liu Zhu, and Jin Xi dragged Xiao Yunzi, and they ran towards Bitong Academy. Since no one was watching them, if they didn't take them away now, when would they leave?

Since they were going to be punished, how could they let them get away with it so easily? When they returned to Bitong Academy, they applied medicine to Liu Zhu and Xiao Yunzi, and gave them hot water. They went back to sleep only after they had recovered. However, not long after they fell asleep, they were awakened by the sound of banging on the door, as if someone was staring at the door of Bitong Academy, deliberately timing them to not let them sleep well.

Zhen Huan and Jin Xi who was sitting up exchanged a glance, and Jin Xi went to open the door. Standing at the door was Eunuch Li, the head eunuch of the imperial kitchen. "Eunuch Li, why are you here at this hour? Is there something wrong?" Jin Xi asked with a smile. She knew that they were the fish and others were the butchers.
