When Tong Sui woke up, there was a stabbing pain on the skin of his arm.

Before he had time to figure out what was going on, he heard a sharp hanging voice scolding: "You little bastard, I asked you to work, and you secretly hid here to sleep lazily, right?"

Tong Sui frowned.

Standing in front of him was a white-faced, beardless man, dressed in eunuch clothing, with sharp nails digging deep into the thin arms of his childhood.

He raised his chin arrogantly, "Don't think that you are the prince after you enter the five schools. Miscellaneous family tells you that you are just a bastard from outside the palace."

Before the little eunuch could finish his mocking words, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist.

"what"

He clutched his wrist and backed away, staring angrily, "How dare you hurt me, let's see if I don't deal with you!"

The little eunuch didn't expect Tong Sui to dare to fight back. He cursed sharp and harsh words, and skillfully picked up the cane next to him to beat him.

But his cane was empty.

After Dodging, Tong Sui stood up from the cold ground with support.

A pair of usually dull and stupid eyes looked at him coldly as if they had been washed with water.

The little eunuch trembled with fright in his eyes, broke out in a cold sweat for no reason, and stood there in a daze without any movement.

Is this still the idiot who beats and scolds without daring to fight back?

Although he was ordered to treat this boy who had just entered the palace harshly, after all, he was still the heir of the emperor, the son of the emperor.

If it is pursued in the future, ten times of his death will not be enough.

At this moment his slave became flustered and dropped the cane in his hand.

"I'll forgive you once if I'm in a good mood, but if you don't clean the verandah today, you don't even want to eat today!"

After the little eunuch clutched his hands and left in embarrassment, Tong Sui seemed to be drained of all his strength, and fell back to the cold ground.

It's the middle of winter.

The palace was a vast expanse of white, with a bitter cold wind blowing, and the snow that had accumulated on the dead trees was so thick that it almost overwhelmed the branches.

Tong Sui clearly felt that this new body was weak and weak, wearing the roughest sackcloth clothes, his thin body looked like a young child.

He opened his sleeves, and his lonely arm was covered with blue-purple scars, some of which had healed and some of which were newly added. The overlapping of old and new wounds was particularly frightening.

Apparently, this was not the first time the encounter just now happened.

The system said: "Do you want to receive information from the world?"

Tong Sui nodded weakly.

The system said: "Start transmitting information from this world."

"This is a novel about ancient courts.

The story of the protagonist gong who worked together to overthrow the incompetent puppet emperor's fatuous rule, wiped out the eunuchs, and worked hard to rule after taking power."

"And this time the villain is none other than the eunuch Rong Jin who everyone can punish.

Taking advantage of the empty period when the emperor was obsessed with alchemy and cultivating immortality, and wasted the country, Rong Jin took advantage of the Dongchang spy agency that stood above the law of the country.

Supervisor The palm prints of the inner court and the eunuch holding the pen are all his minions and vassals."

"Civil and military officials only know that there is Rong Jin, but they don't know that there is an emperor"

"The numerous crimes committed in the past years led to the downfall of Rong Jin, which aroused the indignation of all the officials. Ling Chi hanged in the downtown area and was spurned by thousands of people."

"Your identity is the baby boy who was accidentally born to the oiran when the emperor was visiting the place of fireworks in the capital. He was raised outside the palace incognito since he was a child, and he was able to enter the palace because the oiran died of illness.

Because of his humble background, he was bullied by servants and princes, did heavy physical work for a long time and was hungry, and died soon after."

"Your mission in this world is to save the villain Rong Jin."

After all the information was transmitted, a photo about Rong Jin appeared in the air.

She was dressed in a white dress embroidered with intricate and exquisite patterns, wearing a gauze hat decorated with various rare gemstones, her face was like a crown jade, and her skin was unhealthily pale.

It just so happened that he possessed such monstrous power over the imperial court, so that all the civil and military officials bowed their eyebrows and were pleasing to the eye, not daring to look directly at him, and kowtowed at the hall.

Fearing that this uncertain overseer would be displeased, they would nod their heads.

This is the moment when the power of the eunuch faction represented by Rong Jin reaches its peak.

Tong Sui is now just a prince who no one cares about.

Although he has the blood of the prince, he enjoys harsher treatment than others.

He greedily glanced at Rong Jin in the photo for a few more times, and looked away, the more urgent thing now is to let himself live.

The system said: "Host, your job today is to clean up all the five houses in Gandong where the princes live."

The original owner needs to do a lot of work every day, and only after cleaning the yard can he get some rotten leftovers, making a hard living.

Tong Sui glanced at the wooden bucket and rag.

Because the temperature is too low, the water in the bucket is covered with icicles. Repeatedly soaking your hands in water and scrubbing them will cause purple chilblains.

In the absence of modern medicine, even a slight inadvertent infection can take a person away.

Tong Sui does not intend to gamble with his life.

He went straight over these cleaning tools, stepped on the calf-deep snow, and walked towards his room with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

His room is in the corner of the entire Gandong No. 5 Institute, the windows are broken and leaky, and there is only a thin patched quilt in the narrow room.

It was even colder inside the room than outside.

The original owner couldn't even get enough to eat, let alone the charcoal fire for heating.

It's a luxury for him.

Tong Sui closed the door of the room, blocking part of the cold wind that came in, and sat on the edge of the cold bed and took a few deep breaths.

This body is too weak.

"System, how old am I now?"

The system said: "Twelve years old."

Twelve years old?

Tong Sui couldn't believe it, he thought that this body was no more than eight or nine years old, but he didn't expect that it was chronically malnourished, and the deficit was too severe.

One can imagine how much he suffered in this palace.

Tong Sui, who has always been good-tempered, couldn't help cursing: "How can those people bully a child?"

Just saying something out loud, Tong Sui's throat was so dry that he couldn't help coughing.

The system was frightened: "You, are you okay?"

Tong Sui slowed down for a while, and his complexion became even paler.

The linen clothes and old jacket on his body were soaked in snow and melted by body temperature, sticking to his body wet, so heavy that water dripped out.

The temperature on the body is passing away little by little, and the hands and feet are so cold that there is no feeling left.

Tong Sui originally wanted to take it off, but he searched all over the room but couldn't find any other clothes.

The system quickly said: "Host, I can dry your clothes for you."

you can?

Tong Sui never thought that the system would have this function.

He was ready to strip naked and wrap himself in a quilt on the bed, making do with it.

The system proudly said: "Of course, I am now an intermediate system, and I can do a lot of things!"

After the system's words fell, Tong Sui felt that all the clothes on his body had become dry and warm, and the lingering cold air was also dispelled.

The system said: "I also made this house warmer, only the host can feel it."

Tong Sui tried to lie on the bed, and he really felt that the originally cold and hard bed was continuously heating up, like a heated kang head, warm.

He sighed: "It's amazing!"

The system proudly puffed up its chest, "As long as the host passes through each world smoothly, I will become even stronger."

After Tong Sui lay down, he felt tired in his body. Obviously, his body hadn't had a good rest for a long time. He was so sleepy that he couldn't lift his eyes, so he hummed in a daze.

He fell asleep quickly.

Tong Sui slept very deeply, and the light in the room gradually dimmed.

He didn't even hear footsteps not far away.

It was the voices of the princes returning from the study room after a day of study.

Half-grown kids are playful by nature, they looked left and right but didn't see the figure who was always squatting in the corner and cleaning in rags.

"Huh? Where's that dirty little fool?"

"It's been so cold for the past two days, he shouldn't have frozen to death, right? The Tai Tuo said in class that more people died of freezing this year than usual."

"If you freeze to death, you will freeze to death. My mother and concubine said that he is a little bastard from the emperor outside, and he is not worthy to live with us at all."

The eldest prince Chu Yunyu frowned when he heard this.

"I gonna go see."

There is an orderly hierarchy among the princes. The eldest prince Chu Yunyu is the current queen's son, and he is the candidate to inherit the throne in the future.

The rest of the princes looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to say another word, and obediently followed.

For these honorable little princes, even though they live in the five houses in Gandong, they are treated very differently. They don't even know that there is such a dilapidated house.

"Can this really live?"

"It's scary, I want to go back..."

The little princes complained softly, while Chu Yunyu, who was walking in the front, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door.

Different from the exquisite warmth in their bedroom, the hut can be seen dilapidated at a glance, and there are even several large holes in the windows that breathe in the wind.

And the little figure sleeping on the slum seemed unable to feel their presence, curled up motionless, not sure if it was asleep or frozen to death as they said.

Chu Yunyu's heart skipped a beat.

He has always been taught not to be surprised by changes, but after all, he is only a teenager, and he still has no way to remain unmoved when facing a half-brother.

Just when everyone was hesitating, he walked in quickly and stretched out his hand to lift off the dusty and thin quilt.

A small face that was covered in red came into view.

With the already thin light outside the window, he could barely see his fair to almost translucent skin, his eyelashes were long, stained with tears, like a crumpled crabapple flower.

Chu Yunyu was stunned.

Is his childhood like this?

It seems that since he was taken into the palace, I never took a closer look at him, and my impression has always been that he is dirty, thin and weak, with his head bowed and hair covering most of his face, a fool who will only keep silent and be bullied.

It was not only Chu Yunyu who was amazed, but also the other princes behind him, all of them widened their eyes and opened their mouths so wide that they could stuff eggs.

"Is this really that little fool?"

"It looks pretty good..."

Seemingly disturbed by their speech, Tong Sui frowned.

Chu Yunyu said in a low voice: "You are not allowed to speak."

The princes shut up for a moment.

Chu Yunyu put his hand under Tong Sui's nose, breathing steadily.

If he got to this point, he should stop and leave, but Chu Yunyu stood still and even poked forward a little.

Fingers brushed over warm, oily skin.

Tong Sui's shallow lips snorted softly, like the meow of a kitten.

Chu Yunyu blushed and quickly withdrew his hand, his fingertips were still stained with a little unknown fragrance, his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up nervously.

The eyes of the rest of the princes were red.

The originally cold room seemed to be agitated.

The system said: "Wake up, the protagonist shou Chu Yunyu is here!"

Tong Sui was forcibly awakened by the system in his mind, opened his eyes with difficulty, his consciousness was still in a state of confusion, and he had no idea what happened.

He saw that the empty hut in front of him was filled to the brim with this group of half-grown kids, and they all stared at him eagerly as if he had stolen something from them.

The sleepiness of childhood was partially dispelled.

He struggled to get up from the warm bed, his eyes were sleepy, tears glistened on his eyelashes, and he asked with flushed cheeks, "Who are you?"

His voice was soft and waxy, making the hearts of a group of thick-handed and thick-footed princes shake, and they completely forgot how reluctant he was when he first came in.

Even the outrageous question of why Tong Sui didn't know who they were was forgotten.

Just when Chu Yunyu was about to explain, there was a sharp curse from outside the house, "You little bastard, I let you wash the porch, you didn't do anything today—"

The little eunuch walked in cursing, but he didn't expect to bump into several princes head-on.

In an instant, his knees softened and he knelt down.

"The princes are thousands of years old, and the slaves deserve death for the crime of colliding!"

In the past, Chu Yunyu might have woken up with a wave of his hand, but he had clearly heard the dirty words in this servant's words just now.

He turned around and asked, "What are you doing here?"

The little eunuch lowered his head and said: "Eldest Prince, you don't know something. He doesn't work hard, but hides here and pretends to be sick. The servant is here to urge him to continue doing things."

"Slave dog!" Chu Yunyu raised his foot and kicked over, scolding: "He is a majestic prince, does he need to do rough work like you?!"

The little eunuch was kicked in the chest and fell backwards.

Enduring the great pain, he quickly got up and knelt down, his forehead was on the ground, his back was wet with cold sweat, and he kept saying, "This is not a slave's arbitrariness, but that he is not listed in the family tree of this family."name……"

Everyone was silent for a while.

In other words, although Tong Sui entered the palace, he was not officially recognized.

His identity is embarrassing.

It sounds like a prince, but in the man-eating deep palace, he has no legitimate identity, and without the protection of power, he is just a forgotten cannon fodder in the corner.

Hearing these words, Tong Sui made a gesture to get off the broken bed, "I'm going to clean it now..."

Now that the sky has darkened, the temperature outside will only be lower than during the day, and Tong Sui's thin body will disperse without the wind blowing.

Chu Yunyu stretched out his hand to stop him, "Don't go."

He was amazed by the touch of his hand, his wrist was so slender that it could be crushed with a little force.

"hiss."

Tong Sui gasped.

Chu Yunyu took a closer look, only to find that his lonely arm was covered with all kinds of new and old wounds, and there were obvious marks that could be pinched with nails.

"How is this going?"

In Chu Yunyu's mind, Tong Sui was at best being ordered to work, but he never thought that this group of slaves would be so bold as to dare to bully the prince!

Tong Sui lowered his head without saying a word, gesturing to kneel down, and his voice trembled like plucked strings, "The slave made it by accident."

Chu Yunyu wanted to help him, but he was afraid of hurting him again, so he could only order: "I don't allow you to kneel."

Tong Suisheng stopped kneeling.

Looking at his frightened look, how could Chu Yunyu not see the reason, he looked coldly at the little eunuch on the ground.

The little eunuch's heart trembled when he saw it. He never expected that trouble would come to him so quickly.

Obviously, in the past, these princes couldn't see Tong Sui, so why are they all protecting their eyes today.

Chu Yunyu said to the servants who followed him: "Go, push him in front of the eunuch in charge of Zhidian Supervisor, and say that he has offended the palace."

The little eunuch was horrified, kowtowed repeatedly, his forehead was covered with blood stains and begged for mercy, "Damn this slave! Damn this slave! The eldest prince has a kind heart, please let this slave go!"

Chu Yunyu was known for his good temper, but this time he just watched the little eunuch being dragged away without any hesitation.

The small broken house became quiet again.

Chu Yunyu looked at Tong Sui, and sized him up from top to bottom. For the first time, he felt that this little fool looked more pleasing to the eye.

"Don't be afraid, I will ask someone to change you to a better place to live, and you don't need to do the rough work. If anyone dares to bully you again, you can come to me."

If such a word came from the mouth of an ordinary prince, it might be an insignificant sentence, but it was said from Chu Yunyu's mouth.

Normal people would already be on their knees and weeping with gratitude.

The thin child in front of him took two steps back, until he had nowhere to go. Because he was too thin, his eyes looked extraordinarily big and round, with a bag of tears in his mouth that would not fall, he was afraid and terrified.

"Thank you Eldest Prince for your kindness, but I am a slave, living here is very comfortable, so I don't need to trouble Eldest Prince."

After Chu Yunyu was rejected, he didn't know how he got out of that small broken room, and all he could think about was that crying face.

At dinner, he was facing a table full of delicacies, but what he was thinking about was what Tong Sui was doing now?Huddled in that room and shivering?

If those people dared to treat him like this, they would definitely not give him any serious food.

Then why did he refuse his kindness?

Chu Yunyu's status is noble, and there are countless people who want to cling to him since childhood, like crucian carp crossing the river, but Tong Sui shivered and avoided him.

Is it because he is afraid that he will bully and make fun of him like that group of people?

"Yunyu."

The woman on the seat was dressed in a fine attire and looked at him seriously, "Why do you look so restless, have you forgotten what the tutor taught you?"

Chu Yunyu quickly restrained his expression and sat upright.

"I know I was wrong."

Chu Yunyu's biological mother, who is now the queen, nodded slightly, "How is your homework recently?"

Chu Yunyu said: "It's okay."

"Hmm." The queen withdrew her servants, with a slightly relaxed expression on her face, and said slowly: "I heard that you dealt with a young eunuch who was directly in charge of the palace today?"

Chu Yunyu was startled, he didn't expect the news to spread so fast, but his mind became active again.

If it was the concubine who spoke, it seemed that it would not be impossible for Tong Sui's name to be included in the family tree of the clan's family, and then he would be a legitimate prince.

Chu Yunyu raised his head, "Mother Concubine, I would like to ask you one thing."

"What is it?"

Chu Yunyu confessed all his thoughts.

"Ridiculous!" The queen put down the chopsticks in her hand with an ugly expression, "How can you have such absurd idea to write the child of a bitch into the royal family tree?"

Chu Yunyu quickly knelt down.

"Yunyu, now your father is not in good health, and you still practice immortality and alchemy with those Taoist priests all day long, and the court is controlled by the eunuch headed by Rong Jin. There are also Wala outside who are watching over you."

"You are the firstborn and the eldest son, so you should focus more on your studies. You are not only carrying your own destiny on your shoulders, but also the honor and disgrace of the entire dynasty, understand?"

Chu Yunyu bowed his head, "I understand."

The meal was tasteless in the end, Chu Yunyu was exhausted when he came out of the hall, his ears were almost calloused, and he had nowhere to relax.

He couldn't help but think of his childhood again.

The entourage beside him said: "Your Highness, it's getting late. Aren't you going back to rest?"

Chu Yunyu said: "Go to the dining room and get some food."

This.

The entourage is puzzled, haven't you just eaten it?

But he didn't dare to ask the reason, but obediently obeyed.

Tong Sui, who was in the small shabby house, found some thatch from nowhere, and was mending his small shabby house, barely plugging the leaking hole with thatch.

The system didn't understand: "Chu Yunyu gave you an olive branch just now, why didn't you take it, so you don't have to live in this dilapidated house anymore."

"Believe what others say." Tong Sui exerted all his strength to stuff the thatch, "He wants to treat me well today, but if he wants to crush me to death tomorrow, it's just a matter of one word."

system:"……"

It felt that its host underestimated its own charm.

The way Chu Yunyu looked at Tong Sui was not so innocent.

After a while, there was a knock on the broken door.

Tong Sui was stunned, "Who?"

Chu Yunyu was standing outside the door with a food box in his hand. When he saw Tong Sui, he said with an unnatural expression, "Have you eaten yet?"

Tong Sui was still holding a few pieces of thatch in his hands, making a gesture to kneel.

Chu Yunyu hurriedly stopped him, "Why do you kneel when you see me? Didn't I tell you not to kneel?"

Tong Sui whispered: "If you don't kneel, you will be punished."

Hearing what he said, Chu Yunyu felt very uncomfortable, but with his current strength, he couldn't completely change the status quo, so he said without reason: "I'm sorry."

Tong Sui blinked, "What?"

Because his voice was too low, Tong Sui couldn't hear clearly, so he habitually moved forward, and a faint fragrance came from his body.

Chu Yunyu's ears turned red in an instant, and he hurriedly carried the food box inside, and put it on the only table in the room that could barely be called, "I said, it will be cold if you don't eat it any more."

He opened the food box, and the room was filled with the aroma of food.

I don't know if it's because this body has been hungry for a long time, Tong Sui smelled the smell and salivated crazily, and his sanity went offline in a second.

Regardless of the disparity in status, he licked his lips and moved closer, his eyes glistening at the food.

Chu Yunyu quickly took out his handkerchief and wiped his dusty hands, "Okay."

Tong Sui sat at the table and ate with his head buried in it. It can be said that he was devouring it. He didn't seem to be eating at all.

Chu Yunyu watched from the side and laughed.

Tong Sui himself felt quite ashamed, but this body's desire for food was too strong, and he couldn't stop eating.

"Eat slowly, no one will fight with you." Chu Yunyu poured him a glass of warm water, "Eat along."

Tong Sui reluctantly stopped, gulped down a big sip of water, and continued to eat.

Chu Yunyu lived in the deep palace since he was a child, and he couldn't go hungry. Eating is more like a ritual than enjoying delicious food.

Tong Sui's eating appearance was exceptionally cute, which made Chu Yunyu, who hadn't eaten a few mouthfuls of food, feel a little hungry.

He picked up a piece of pastry at random.

Tong Sui looked at him nervously, like a little wolf cub protecting food, his eyes seemed to be questioning: No one snatched it from me!

Chu Yunyu was about to be dazzled by the cuteness, "What? My brother can't even take a piece of your food?"

Tong Sui seemed to be struggling for a while before nodding.

Chu Yunyu just put the pastry in his mouth, and felt strangely that it seemed to be the best pastry he had ever eaten.

Tong Sui was like a hamster storing grain, its belly was so stuffed that it couldn't hold it anymore, so he reluctantly stopped eating, and touched his bulging belly with his hands.

There are still some unfinished pastries left on the table.

In winter, these things are not easy to break, and should be good for a few days.

At least he won't be starving anytime soon.

But in order to guarantee a long-term meal ticket, Tong Sui looked at Chu Yunyu with bright eyes and anticipation, "Are you coming again?"
