Li Yu stumbled out of the Qianqing Palace. There was no one on the palace road at this moment. Li Yu could only sigh that he was unlucky today and had accidentally offended the emperor.

It just happened to fall into the hands of Wang Qin, who had recently clearly felt that he was losing power.

Jinzhong and Jinbao were sent out by Li Yu to go shopping with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They were not in the palace for the past few days, so Li Yu could only endure the pain and choose the route closest to the Imperial Hospital.

I had just walked a few steps out of the Qianqing Palace when I heard Wang Qin's voice behind me.

"Oh, Eunuch Li has only been kneeling for two sticks of incense and this is it? Did our family tell you to get up?"

Li Yu turned around and saw Wang Qin's fake smile. His heart tightened. He knew Wang Qin had bad intentions but he still bowed to him respectfully. "I am not worthy of being called Eunuch Li by my master. The emperor was really upset when he saw me. In order not to affect my work, he let me go to the Imperial Hospital by myself."

"Oh? The emperor is upset when he sees you? I don't believe it. Everyone in the palace knows that you, Eunuch Li, are the deputy chief eunuch of the imperial palace. You still have my master in your heart, even though you are Eunuch Li."

After hearing this, Li Yu still had nothing to understand. Wang Qin had no intention of letting him off easily, so he could only humbly say, "Without the support of the master, there would be no disciple today. Once a teacher, always a father. The disciple has always understood and never forgets to repay the master."

Wang Qin snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with disdain: "Come on, since it is the emperor's order, you can go to the Imperial Hospital by yourself. We won't keep you any longer. Go ahead."

Li Yu bowed respectfully again: "Thank you for your understanding, Master. I will take my leave now."

Li Yu turned around and took only two steps when Wang Qin's voice came again: "However, we have to remind Eunuch Li to be more careful when walking in the future. If he bumps into any noble again, it will be bad."

Li Yu turned his head and saw Wang Qin shaking his sleeves and leaving, then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The wounds from the tiles were of varying depths. I didn't feel much when I was kneeling, but the pain came as soon as I stood up and walked for a while.

Li Yu couldn't hold himself up anymore and was about to fall down when Zimu supported him.

"Thank you, young lady." Li Yu was in so much pain that he didn't care about anything else. He just saw that the person who was supporting him was wearing a palace maid's costume, so he opened his mouth to thank her.

"From your attire, you look like someone in the imperial court. How did you get injured so badly?"

Li Yu was attracted by the crisp sound and raised his head, and saw the person in the portrait in Qianlong's bedroom.

"You...girl...I..."

Zi Mu sighed and frowned after listening to Li Yu's intermittent words, "This place is far from the Imperial Hospital. If I help my father-in-law there, there will be rumors in the future. This place is not far from where I live. Will my father-in-law go to me for medicine or to the Imperial Hospital?"

Li Yu listened to Zi Mu's words and calculated the distance. It was indeed the same as what the woman in front of him said. Finally, Li Yu forced himself to bow to Zi Mu: "I am sorry to bother you today, young lady. I don't know how to address you. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can..."

Zimu smiled at Li Yu under the moonlight and said, "Wei Yanwan, don't worry, sir. I am not someone who would seek repayment for a favor."

"This, young lady, that's not what we mean."

Li Yu was a little anxious. He was really afraid that the banished fairy-like person in front of him would misunderstand him. It was at this moment that Li Yu completely understood why his master was so obsessed with the woman in the portrait.

Zimu carefully helped Li Yu and they soon reached the back room of the library. After Zimu helped Li Yu sit on the chair, he looked around the room calmly.

Zimu, who came over with the medicine box, glanced at Li Yu and said, "My father is the left leader of the Imperial Household Department. I have the care of the Imperial Household Department, so I can live more comfortably here."

Li Yu withdrew his gaze embarrassedly, thinking that if there was no one protecting her, there was no way a girl with such beauty could live under the noses of the masters in the harem.

Zimu opened the medicine box, took out a pair of scissors, and carefully cut off the clothes that were stuck to Li Yu's wound.

When she saw the wounds of varying sizes and depths on Li Yu's knees, Zimu, who was already mentally prepared, still gasped.

"You have too many wounds and they are not clean. In order not to affect your ability to walk in the future, you need to clean them. It may be a little painful, so bear with it."

When the strong liquor touched the wound, even Li Yu, who was so patient, almost couldn't help but cry out. After a long time, he noticed that Zi Mu's movements were very light and gentle, and he even blew air on his wound, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

"Thank you, Miss Li Yu." After bandaging the wound, Li Yu also stood up and left.

Zimu shook his head and said, "No need to thank me, it's just a piece of cake. It would be the same for anyone else."

Before Li Yu left, Zimu stuffed a bottle of medicine powder and an ointment into Li Yu's hand and said, "Take it. This medicine is better than the one from the Imperial Hospital."

Li Yu nodded and was about to leave when she saw Zimu's bright smile: "Miss, do you have any other instructions?"

"Please keep today's events a secret, this medicine is too hard to come by and I don't have much."

"Okay." Li Yu originally thought that the woman in front of him also looked down on eunuchs like them, so he didn't want others to know that he had had contact with her. However, after hearing the second half of Zimu's sentence, Li Yu curled the corners of his mouth.

Before leaving, Li Yu suddenly asked, "Yan Wan, have you ever thought about entering the palace as a concubine?"

Seeing Zimu with such a face, still on duty in the library where few people came, Li Yu was confused about the Wei family's plan for a moment.

The emperor probably could not have imagined that the person he had been anxiously looking for for two years was hiding in the palace library.

Zi Mu shook his head and pretended to be confused, "I don't know either. In fact, I yearn for life outside the palace. The Forbidden City is rich, but this four-cornered world is also a cage that eats people."

Li Yu looked at the person in front of him who looked lost and sad, gritted his teeth and comforted him: "Maybe Lord Wei has made some arrangements. Miss, with your beauty, I'm afraid the emperor won't let you leave."

"Really? This Forbidden City...people outside want to come in, people inside want to go out..." Before he could finish his words, Zimu forced a smile at Li Yu and changed the subject: "Yanwan, I'm sorry, eunuch, please go back earlier."

After Li Yu left, he stared at the library for a long time under the moonlight, and finally walked towards the Qianqing Palace holding the medicine given to him by Zimu.
