Chapter 14

It was already late at night, and Yiman was alone in the pharmacy, lighting a bean-like lamp, holding his head and closing his eyes to rest.

Last night because of Liang Di's dystocia, she didn't sleep all night.Fortunately, I slept for a while during the day, otherwise I would definitely not be able to hold on now.

The imperial doctor on duty was in the guard room at the front, and no one was watching in the pharmacy.Yiman was really sleepy, so he simply lay down on the table and fell asleep for a while.

In his sleep, Yiman seemed to hear some rustling sounds, and his brows slowly furrowed.Squinting his eyes, he opened a crack and looked out through the gap in his arm.I saw a dark figure rummaging around behind the medicine cabinet and on the medicine shelves, and I couldn't help but feel confused.

The medicines in the pharmacy are basically standing medicines, and they are not precious and rare things. Why are there still people stealing medicines?
Is there something fishy in this pharmacy? Is there a secret door?
But Yiman saw that the black shadow was just looking for it, and didn't seem to care about himself, so he was not sure for a while, so he continued to pretend to be asleep.

Suddenly there was a crashing sound from behind the medicine cabinet, followed by a 'clang'. You didn't even have to look at it to know that the medicine pestle fell to the ground.

What is this thief looking for, and why does he feel so clumsy?
Yiman was still thinking about when the thief would leave, but he faintly heard the shouts of guards coming from outside, and through the gaps in his arms he could see a little firelight shining through the window.

As the Yulin army outside arrived near the pharmacy, Yi Man could clearly see through the gap in his arm that the 'thief' was a little panicked, looking around, not knowing where to hide.Finally it seemed like I was hiding behind the medicine cabinet.

The knock on the door outside became more and more urgent, "Here we come—"

As soon as the door opened, the leading general of the Yulin Army saw that the medicine boy on duty was a woman. He was stunned for a moment, then thought of his errand, and immediately frowned, "Did you see a thin man wearing night clothes?"

Yiman hesitated in his heart, but he also knew that he could not hesitate to answer. Once he hesitated, he would be spotted by the Habayashi army in front of him.

"No."

Although he didn't know who the man in black was and whether he would cause any harm to him, Yiman still subconsciously answered in the negative.

General Guan of the Yulin Army glanced behind Yiman suspiciously and saw that except for a cabinet, several large medicine bags were indeed unobstructed. "Someone breaks into the palace gate without permission and wants to escape from the palace. If you see suspicious people , report it immediately.”

Yiman nodded, "I see."

General Guan nodded and raised his feet to walk in and take a walk.

I don't know if there is a clue about the man in black, but suddenly the Habayashi Army came to report.

General Guan frowned. Seeing that the woman in front of her was extremely calm, she didn't seem to be lying, so she took a second look and left the pharmacy with her men.

Until Yu Linjun's voice became distant, Yiman opened both doors and stepped on the outside of the threshold, in case there was an emergency and he would not be able to run away in time.

"Come out, everyone is gone."

After a long time, the black figure slowly stood up from behind the cabinet, with a pair of big eyes shining on the face covering, staring closely at Yiman.

"Why are you helping me?"

Yiman leaned against the door frame, thinking about the purpose of the man in black in front of him.But suddenly he heard a clear female voice and was obviously taken aback.

woman?

Just seeing her figure, and listening to the general of the Habayashi Army, I thought she was a man.

If it were a woman, her identity would be difficult to guess.There are tens of thousands of people in the palace, including palace officials and female officials.

"Curious about your identity."

The man in black suddenly let out a "tsk" sound, took two steps forward, took a long step forward and sat on Yiman's chair.

After a while, I saw that the black clothes outside the black man's calf were dark red and he was injured.

Could it be that this person was just looking for medicine?
Yiman squinted his eyes and seemed to see a bit of jade in the arms of the man in black with the help of a little candlelight.

He walked to the cabinet, took the gauze and medicine bottles on the cabinet, and walked to the table.

"You want to bandage me?"

Seeing Yiman casually picking up a few golden sore medicines that he couldn't find, he looked at Yiman suspiciously, "Why?"

Yiman squatted down next to her legs, holding the gauze, and looked up at her, "You are injured. Is there anything wrong with me bandaging it for you?"

The man in black was speechless for a moment, "You——"

He tore open the black cloth and observed the expression of the man in black.

"I don't feel any pain, just do it."

Yiman responded, and took down the lamp on the table.

Seeing the extent of the bleeding, Yiman thought it was just a skin trauma, but when he looked carefully, there was a slit in the middle of the calf, which was pierced by a sword. It was strange that there was not much bleeding.

How could this woman move freely with such a serious injury?
Yiman looked up and saw that the woman was staring at him with an unclear look.While treating the wound, "If you kill me, the nine tribes will be implicated."

The man in black was stunned and smiled, "Why should I kill you? You saved me and you are my savior."

Yiman raised his eyebrows, not expecting that this woman's thoughts were so clear and simple, "Why did you break into the palace gate without permission?"

Yiman didn't know how to sew, so he could only wrap the wound tightly. The woman actually held her chin, with a sad look on her face, without any sign of pain, just like Guan Gong who was scraping bones to cure poison.

"Don't mention it, I'm almost suffocating in the palace all day."

Yiman smiled, if you are a free-spirited person who loves freedom, if you are restrained all day long, you will indeed feel that life is worse than death.

The man in black suddenly blew out a breath and blew up the face covering. As if he thought it was in the way, he pulled it off and put it in his arms.

Yiman just wrapped up the wound, got up and looked, and saw that she was a heroic-looking woman with bright eyes and big eyes, her movements were loose, but she had a heroic demeanor.

Seeing Yiman looking at herself, the woman rolled her eyes, "What are you looking at?"

Yiman said bluntly, "Guess your identity."

Facing such a straight-hearted person, if you play too carefully, you will be annoying.It's better to express your feelings directly, but it will have unexpected effects.

The woman leaned back in her chair and sighed, her face falling in sorrow, "You don't have to guess, they all call me Lancai."

talent?

Yiman glanced at the jade color that had disappeared in her arms in confusion, packed up the things on the ground, and stood in front of her with his arms folded.

"You don't want to be the emperor's concubine?"

"nonsense."

Lan Cairen rested his chin on his hands, stared ahead, his eyes were blank, "If I can leave the palace in my life, I will definitely hide away from the capital."

"Then why do you want to enter the palace?"

Lan Cairen turned his head and glanced at Man Man, then sighed deeply, "It's past time, I should go."

Although Lan Cairen said so, he still sat there.

Yiman couldn't help laughing, it seems that Lan Cairen hated his identity deeply, and even had to prepare mentally when he returned to the palace.There are so many women in the world vying for one to ascend to heaven, but this Lancai can see it clearly.

The two of them stayed together quietly like old friends.After a cup of tea, seeing that Lan Cai was still motionless and that he couldn't rest, Yiman yawned and said, "Why don't you want to go back to the palace? Which palace do you live in?"

Lan Cairen sighed deeply again and pointed in the direction, "Over there, the Luhua Palace in the distance. Who said I don't want to return to the palace?"

Yiman raised his eyebrows, Lan Cairen was helpless, "Well, most of the maids and eunuchs in my palace are the eyeliners of the palaces. Even if they are not eyeliners, they think I am not favored. I usually have to drink water by myself. Fight, that’s fine, they also locked the door of my bedroom, and I have to reprimand me when I enter the palace door.”

Yiman looked in disbelief at Lan Cairen, a concubine, who had gotten into this kind of situation.

Even the palace servants in his own palace can yell at will, bully and embarrass him, and treat himself as the master?
Thinking about it, not serving tea or water is just a small thing. It is true that he makes all kinds of excuses and takes advantage of others. It is true that he takes advantage of others, secretly monitors them, and enriches his own pockets.If this is the case, Lancai's life may not be as good as outside the palace.

"You know martial arts, why don't you teach them a lesson?"
