I write novels in the East Palace

Zhou Chengyi finished stealing the second half of the manuscript in the study, and fell asleep again, waking up not knowing when it was.

He sat on the bed in a daze for a while before getting up, dressed and washed, the cool water splashed on his face, which made him shiver, and he was completely awake.

And until he finished packing, Chang Xia, who was supposed to come in with a meal in the past, did not appear, and neither did Lin Dong.

Zhou Chengyi went out to find the door in a strange way. Hearing the movement at the gate of the palace, he couldn't help but take a look.

Sure enough, it was his two little friends who disappeared. I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the atmosphere outside was a bit dull.

I saw that Chang Xia was stepping on Lin Dong's back and pulling up the red cloth. Both of them changed the red, green and green eunuch clothes they used to wear into plain colors.

He listened carefully, and faint bells and weeping could be heard from a distance from the empty palace gate.

Zhou Chengyi realized something, and asked calmly, "What's going on outside?"

"Your Highness, you're up!" Seeing him, Chang Xia hurriedly got off Ling Dong's back, and whispered cautiously, "Your Highness, the Tai Hospital almost spared no effort this morning, and Princess Huimin went to work in a short while. Yuan Gong said that the Ningshou Palace is critically ill."

Zhou Chengyi was stunned for a moment before he realized that the Ningshou Palace, where the empress dowager originally lived, has only lived in one master since the day he ascended the throne—it was the one who served the sick princess Huimin. Concubine Xu.

Today's Honorable Concubine Xu is also because she was protected by Concubine Xu when she was young and unable to protect herself.

When the late emperor was around, she was not favored, because the old Duke Ding was very powerful, the late emperor just married her into the harem, but even though he was a noble concubine, he was not favored, and he had no heirs.

After the old Duke Ding died of illness, all the sons were in a turmoil for inheriting the title. In the end, it turned out that the tenth son who had no sense of existence came to the top.

That is Xu Rui's father, the current Dingguo Duke - he is quite contented, timid and unambitious.

If not, even with Concubine Xu's face, the feudal clan should be abolished today.

Concubine Xu only had this younger brother left, so she naturally hoped that he would be well, and worried that no one would protect her after she left, so she facilitated her marriage with Princess Anyang.

Zhou Chengyi nodded to express his understanding.

Chang An said again, "By the way, Your Highness, the Prince came down two quarters of an hour ago, knowing that you haven't had a good rest for a few days, so he asked the servants to stop disturbing you, put the letter in the study and left."

"Okay, I see." Zhou Chengyi waved his hands, let him continue to be busy, and went to the kitchen by himself.

During this period of time, Chang Xia and Lin Dong have gradually adapted to his working state of cultivating immortals with chicken blood as soon as he gets busy, and they will no longer run around in a hurry like before, as if they will be beheaded in the next second.

However, once Zhou Chengyi worked too long, the two would still show up to intervene.

Chang Xia didn't know who he followed before, he was all alone, and in such a short period of time he had figured out Zhou Chengyi's character, knowing that he was soft and not hard, and he couldn't stand the condemnation and torture of conscience.

So he gave up the Tang Monk mode of Sui Sui Nian, and changed it to bring Lin Dong in every time, and then the two of them knelt on the left and right, staring straight at him.

Zhou Chengyi is not a piece of wood, no matter how focused he is, there is a limit, let alone being stared at by such a strong gaze.

Staring at him until his scalp tingled and goosebumps appeared all over his body, he had no choice but to put down his pen.

Thanks to the blessing of these two, Zhou Chengyi not only eats three meals a day full and well, but also stays up less late.

Every time he drafts a draft, he feels an inexplicable sense of urgency, as if a countdown timer has been bombed on his head, causing him to write faster and faster, almost without thinking.

Except for writing until midnight this time in order to finish writing in one breath, he was silently urged to go to bed as soon as midnight (23:[-]) on weekdays.

By modern standards, this is an ideal and healthy schedule.

Of course, this still has to be ruled out after clocking in at Dianmao (five o'clock) for work.

Zhou Chengyi thought happily in his heart: The Stealing Life volume has been finished. This volume has more words than the Yinbing volume, and it can be published in magazines about four times. Now he can rest for a long time.

For others, it may feel that he is under house arrest in the East Palace and suffers, and there are only two people serving him, and he has to personally do everything.

But for Zhou Chengyi, who has long been used to living alone and is a bit of a homebody, he has money and leisure to spend a vacation in a high-end farmhouse!

Take a look at such a large piece of land in the Eastern Palace - it's free!beautiful landscape!There are so many flowers!Super security!

And it's all-inclusive, so you don't need to do laundry and cook.

Zhou Chengyi couldn't help but curled up the corners of his mouth and hummed happily when he thought about it, and he didn't feel that the rice scoop was compacted when serving the rice.

"What are you humming, it's really ugly."

"!!!"

Zhou Chengyi was startled by the sudden sound, jumped back, and threw the rice scoop at the figure coming out of the corner as soon as he dropped his hand.

bang!bump!

"Ow!"

Accompanied by a shocking voice, the rice scoop split in two, half fell to the ground, and the other half hit the wall.

Clutching the back of his head and howling in pain, the little man grabbed one of the murder weapons that fell in front of his feet—half a scoop, raised a face that was so painful that it was dripping with tears, and his big cat eyes widened , Grandma fiercely said angrily: "What are you doing?!"

Zhou Chengyi looked at the familiar yet not so familiar face, his gaze stayed on his red and swollen eyes for a moment, and he called out with some uncertainty, "...Xu Rui?"

"It's me!" Xu Rui straightened her chest.

Zhou Chengyi looked at his disheveled face: "...where did you get in here?"

Are there any other holes in the East Palace that can be drilled?

But Xu Rui blatantly said: "Young master flew in!" He had a serious expression on his face, very proud and arrogant.

Zhou Chengyi naturally didn't believe it, so he took a leisurely look at his back: "Then how about your wings?"

"I borrowed it, and I returned it." Xu Rui replied eloquently, "I'm leaving later, just call it and it will appear!"

Zhou Chengyi: "..." I believe you a ghost!

The two looked at each other for a while, and suddenly their stomachs scrambled to sing "Empty City Strategies".

Xu Rui immediately blushed and covered his stomach, and turned his head away pretending nothing happened.

Zhou Chengyi still remembers the last time thanks to the tip-off from this brat, otherwise he would have starved to death with a high probability.

So he raised the bowl in his hand in a friendly manner, "Do you want to eat?"

Xu Rui pursed his lips, and said the most cowardly words in the most aggressive tone: "Eat!"

"What's this?" Xu Rui pointed to one of the dishes, picked up his chopsticks curiously, and immediately wrinkled his face into a mask of pain, and the cat's eyes glistened.

But he was very self-cultivated and didn't spit it out. After swallowing it with difficulty, he stared at the dish, "It's so unpalatable!"

"This is wild bracken." Seeing him like that, Zhou Chengyi couldn't help teasing him, and quickly picked up a chopstick for him, "If it tastes bad, eat more."

Xu Rui stared at the dishes in the bowl and cried angrily, but his tutor told him that the elders could not let him go.

He could only stare: "Take it away! I don't want it!"

"It will be gone after you eat it, and you won't be able to eat it even if you want to eat it in the future."

"Who would want to eat this!" Xu Rui pouted.

Zhou Chengyi gave him a popular science, "Don't look at this thing, although it looks ugly, but it is rich in nutrition and medicinal value, you little bean, eat more and grow taller."

Xu Rui was taken aback for a moment, and looked at him suspiciously, "Really?"

"Guess?" Zhou Chengyi looked at him with a smile.

"I don't guess! Just show off!"

Xu Rui glared at him, but he ate all the bracken in the bowl in a distasteful manner, and he wanted to pinch it, but Zhou Chengyi stopped him.

He shook his head, "Too much."

Xu Rui frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "You're not an imperial doctor, where did you talk so much!"

The old god Zhou Chengyi is here: "Although I am not an imperial doctor, in some respects, the imperial doctor is not as good as me."

The conditions of ancient medicine were not good enough. Traditional Chinese medicine covered a wide range and was divided into various factions. They all paid attention to inheritance. There were few genuine "miracle doctors", but there were many "doctors" who investigated diseases and treated people according to the scriptures.

Then there are the problems left over from the feudal era, education is not universal, the majority of the people are ignorant, and there are a lot of things like worshiping Bodhisattvas by drinking talisman water and worshiping Bodhisattvas.

A lot of modern medical common sense in this era can be called shocking.

Xu Rui's words really reminded him that maybe he can try to summarize and record the medical knowledge he knows, and maybe publish it when he has the opportunity.

For example, epidemic prevention measures, smallpox vaccination, etc., are just one hygiene code that can save many people.

After all, in such an era, people who die from diseases and infections are basically divided in half.

Zhou Chengyi didn't expect his little things to be seen by everyone, but he still hoped to do some small things.

As long as what he writes can help one person, that is enough.

But these are all later things.

Looking at Xu Rui's swollen eyes from crying, Zhou Chengyi guessed that the death of Concubine Xu probably made him sad, or something else.

He didn't intend to inquire, so he just pretended not to know.

After Xu Rui had eaten and drank enough, he said he wanted to leave.He curled up his little finger, and blew a long, sharp whistle, which sounded a bit like a bird's song, and it spread far away.

"Crack!" A huge shadow enveloped it, and a white swan flapped its wings and flew into the yard, then slammed its legs, and stopped handsomely in front of Zhou Chengyi.

Then it turned around sharply, and its wings made a sound of piercing the air.

"Crack!!" With a cry of surprise, it turned around and flew away.

Zhou Chengyi: "..." It turns out that borrowing wings is true.

Xu Rui watched his family's big white goose come and go swiftly, his back was handsome and embarrassed, he suddenly realized something: "...Did you do something frenzied and dehumanizing to my Dabai?"

Zhou Chengyi firmly shook his head in denial, "No."

Regardless of whether the Swan Brother stopped or not, Zhou Chengyi couldn't tell this brat to fly away on it, and he personally sent him to the door.

In the end, I saw the swan "creaking creaking" coming from a distance with arrogant steps, followed by a woman in elegant plain brocade.

"Sister!" Xu Rui rushed over immediately.

"I guess you're hiding here, but it's worrying your parents. You'll have to apologize after a while." Princess Huimin wiped his face with a calm and gentle tone, and nodded to Zhou Chengyi.

Zhou Chengyi originally wanted to thank you, but Princess Huimin interrupted first, "You don't need to say thank you."

"Without that day, I would not have seen such a good work. It's my luck. Marshal Zhongli...what you ask for will definitely have a good result." She stopped talking, paused and said, "You And rest assured, I will keep this matter a secret."

"Excuse me." Princess Huimin said goodbye.

Caught off guard, Zhou Chengyi, whose vest was stripped off: "..." What is Marshal Zhongli?what result?What about my big and good vest?

What's the matter with you natives? !
