Chapter 4 The Cursed King

"Thank you, uncle! Thank you so much!" The touch of giving charcoal in the snow made her want to shake the uncle's hand.

The old man raised his hand to prevent him from touching it: "Don't touch your dirty thing..."

"Sorry sorry."

The old man nodded slightly: "What's your name?"

"... Zhao Mingyue."

"Where do you live?"

"Uh..." What should she say, after all, she only knew Jinling City. "I have been begging everywhere for food since I was a child, and I don't know where I come from."

Seeing that the child was covered with injuries everywhere, the old man didn't care about this question: "How old is it?"

"... Fourteen." He said casually, saying that he doesn't look good when he is too big, but can he accept her when he is too young?
"A 14-year-old boy is still so thin?" The old man was a little dissatisfied, he was too thin to do the job.However, if the little beggar can't eat and drink all day long, he will be lucky if he can survive.

Fearing that he would regret it, Zhao Mingyue immediately promised: "I will have the energy to work after I eat normally, don't worry."

"...Forget it, remember, when you enter the mansion, talk less and work more."

"it is good."

"Said to be'."

"Yes!"

"Stop beating, if you beat him again, you will die." The old man turned his head and said to those subordinates, "Take it back."

After speaking, he walked out of the alley first.

Zhao Mingyue followed the old man through the most prosperous area of ​​Jinling City, entered the northwest direction and turned into a lush green long street, and a courtyard surrounded by green brick walls fell in front of him.There are two stone lions lying on both sides of the crimson gate facing south, and the words "Yan Wangfu" are written on the gate board.

Zhao Mingyue's eyes lit up, and she guessed that the old man's status was not low, but she didn't expect that he came from the palace, a little beggar was hired into a big company by accident!

So she settled down in the palace, and her job was to do odd jobs in the kitchen. Fortunately, she met a colleague named Zhao Liu who took good care of her.

The six sons are only fifteen or sixteen years old, quite thin, not tall, with a strong face, small eyes, and thick lips. They look simple and honest, but they talk a lot, and they quickly became acquainted.

The six sons said: "Mingyue, fetching water, chopping firewood, washing vegetables, and other kitchen chores are all ours."

"Okay, if there's anything I can do, just call me."

"Cheng, let me introduce you to our palace..."

The six sons introduced along the way.

The lower right room and the lower room behind are where the servants live.In front of the back room is the Rongqing Hall, where King Yan lived.In front of Rongqing Hall is the Jing'an Hall, which is the sleeping hall of King Yan.From where they stood now, they could only see the walls of Jing'an Hall.

Zhao Mingyue took a look from afar and asked, "Sixth son, is Old Man Yan Wang easy to talk to?"

"Old man Yan Wang?" Zhao Liu sneered, "Our master is not old, not as young as the weak crown."

Less than twenty?Subconsciously, she thought it was the emperor's brother, at least he had to be an uncle.

"Then tell me about our master, so that I won't say anything wrong in the future."

"That can't be... I mean it's unlikely that I will say the wrong thing. I haven't seen King Yan once in half a year since I came to the palace."

"He doesn't live here?"

"Come on, but King Yan has been weak and sick since he was a child and rarely went out. Even if we go out, we servants who do odd jobs in the kitchen can't see him, and..." Zhao Liu glanced at the Jing'an Temple God and said mysteriously, "There is another saying , there is a curse on King Yan, anyone who gets along with him for a long time will die..."

"What? A curse?"

"Hmm! I heard that several of King Yan's personal servants, both men and women, have died. It's so evil!"

There should be nothing wrong with this house, right?Or was it because she hadn't regained her psychic powers and couldn't detect evil spirits, otherwise why did she think the mansion was quite clean?

"How long has Steward Zhou been with King Yan?"

"Uh, it's been a long time." Zhao Liu returned to his original expression, "Not everyone has something to do, maybe it has something to do with the horoscope of birthday, anyway, it's evil... Ouch, mother scared me to death!"

"what happened?"

"Don't talk, let's go." The six sons pulled Zhao Mingyue and bowed their heads and just walked away, avoiding fear.

Mingyue looks back.

It was a boy on the high corridor that made Liu Zi jump up in fright.

The boy was only twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a golden crown, wearing gold silk embroidered clothes, a golden lock around his neck, and a moonlight jade around his waist. His hands were folded in front of him, and on one side of his thin white wrist was a gold bracelet. On one side is an emerald bracelet.Golden bells are also tied around the ankles.

Local tycoon!Wear gold and silver at a real price.

When Mingyue looked at him, he also looked at her, his eyes were as dark as two pools of stagnant water, his expression was depressed and unhappy.

Zhao Liu took Mingyue and turned into the backyard of the kitchen. Mingyue couldn't see the child and asked, "Who is that?"
