Chapter 1005: The Eunuch Who Eats Watermelons and Watches the Show 2
If Liu Shu showed off his cooking skills, he would definitely be noticed by the people in the imperial kitchen and would be hired into the imperial kitchen.

But he didn't want to go to the imperial kitchen.

Although it is convenient to eat there, it is also more dangerous!
Take a look at the harmful scenes in the palace.

Food poisoning is the most common.

The concubines poisoned each other, and the ones who suffered were the people in the imperial kitchen.

The prince forced the emperor to abdicate during a palace banquet and poisoned the food and wine. It was the people in the imperial kitchen who were responsible for the reckoning afterwards.

The princes framed each other and gave each other aphrodisiacs, but in the end, the unlucky ones were still the people in the imperial kitchen...

Therefore, if you want to live peacefully to the end, in addition to not becoming a concubine or a prince's wife, you must stay away from the imperial kitchen.

Early in the morning every day, when others are still sleeping soundly in their warm beds, Liu Shu has to get up and clean.

He must clean the area he is responsible for before others get up.

It was a bit hard.

But after the work was done, he could do whatever he wanted with the rest of the time.

In broad daylight, young eunuchs like Liu Shu were not allowed to appear in the Imperial Garden, so as not to disturb the nobles from enjoying the beautiful scenery in the garden.

At this time, other eunuchs and palace maids would choose to rest and sleep, while Liu Shu would wander around and listen to gossip.

He is still young, only seven or eight years old, and wandering around will not arouse other people's suspicion.

You can hide in a corner and eavesdrop without being discovered.

This allowed Liu Shu to hear many secrets of the palace.

The current owner of the palace is only in his twenties, at the prime of his life.

However, he has been emperor for more than ten years.

The emperor ascended the throne at the age of eight, and took power at the age of sixteen. He has been in power for ten years now and is a very powerful emperor.

The emperor got married in the year he took power and married his first empress.

But the queen died at the age of eighteen when she suffered a difficult labor giving birth to the crown prince.

The emperor named the then imperial concubine the second empress.

The second queen stayed on the throne even shorter than the first. She died within a year and didn't even leave any children.

The third empress was the emperor's cousin. She accompanied the emperor for several years, at least six years.

But he passed away last year, leaving behind a little princess.

The emperor loved his daughter very much and gave her the title of Anle.

Three of his wives died within ten years, and the emperor even suspected that he was unlucky in marriage.

Well, others suspected the same thing, but they didn't say it out loud.

Therefore, the emperor did not appoint another queen, and the highest-ranking person in the palace seemed to be the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine's maiden family was the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and her maiden family had military power, so the emperor had to be nice to her.

Therefore, even though she did not have the title of queen, the imperial concubine exercised the rights of the queen in the palace and enjoyed the respect of the queen.

But the imperial concubine had no children of her own.

There were four concubines under the Imperial Concubine, all of whom were older than the Imperial Concubine. They entered the palace with the first Empress and all gave birth to children for the Emperor.

Among them, Concubine Hui and Concubine Shu gave birth to a prince, while Concubine De and Concubine Xian gave birth to a princess.

Under the four concubines, there were many concubines and noble ladies, some of whom gave birth.

Now, the emperor has eight princes and five princesses.

There are many masters in the palace now, and the empress dowager is still there.

However, the Empress Dowager does not take care of things. The affairs of the palace are managed by the Imperial Concubine, assisted by the Four Concubines.

The above information is known to everyone in the palace. Even if Liu Shu does not deliberately inquire, the old eunuchs who train them will tell them.

Liu Shu has been wandering around these days and has heard some private news.

For example, Concubine Li and Noble Lady Yun were once good friends, but after entering the palace, one became a concubine and the other became a noble lady.

The noble lady was jealous of Lipin and once gave her medicine, causing her to have a miscarriage. Lipin found out the truth and directly gave Yun Guiren a bowl of sterilization soup.

The two have now become mortal enemies, the kind that will not stop until one dies.

What they didn't know was that someone else was involved.

The one who secretly plotted against them was Concubine De.

To outsiders, Defei seemed virtuous, gentle, and of outstanding moral character, but few knew that she was actually the most hidden one among the concubines.

Many of the fights in the palace were secretly instigated by Concubine De.

Defei wore the mask very well, and it was only by luck that Liu Shu was able to find her.

When Liu Shu wandered into Concubine De's palace, Concubine De was talking to her confidant, so he overheard Concubine De's secret.

Not only that, Liu Shu also learned the truth about the death of the first queen from Concubine De.

The first queen was killed by the second queen.

However, the second queen died before she could enjoy her glory for long.

Concubine De didn't know who killed the second queen, she only knew that the second queen died of poisoning.

Wow, even though these melons are old, they are so big and delicious.

No wonder in the modern world, many people like to watch palace fighting dramas.

It is indeed very exciting and interesting.

Liu Shu decided not to leave the palace. He stayed in the palace to watch plays and listen to gossip. Isn't it more interesting than hanging around outside?
Moreover, as long as his strength is restored, leaving the palace wouldn't be a piece of cake?

When I got bored staying in the palace, I went out to have some fun.

After having enough fun, go back to the palace to continue watching the show.

Liu Shu exhaled, and white smoke appeared in front of his eyes.

It's winter now and the weather is getting colder.

The young eunuchs were given winter clothes, but they were fine for wearing indoors and could not keep out much of the cold outdoors.

After a winter, countless low-ranking eunuchs and palace maids fell sick.

The eunuchs and palace maids fell sick, but there were no doctors to treat them, so they could only endure it.

Just get through it, if you can't...

Liu Shu has now reached the first level of Qi training, and with the spiritual energy protecting his body, he does not feel the cold.

However, several eunuchs and palace maids who were sweeping the garden with him all fell ill.

Liu Shu had no choice but to take over their work.

But for one person to sweep such a large area, even if he has a spirit protecting him, he won’t feel very tired, but it will waste his time listening to gossip!
It is still necessary to make people recover from the illness quickly.

Liu Shu: "When I was at home, I worked as a handyman for the village doctor and memorized a few prescriptions, including one for treating typhoid fever. Do you want it?"

The others nodded: Yes! How could we not want it!
They all want to live and live well.

Liu Shu then recited a traditional Chinese medicine prescription that had been proven over thousands of years and was also applicable in modern times.

The herbs used in it are very cheap, there are no precious medicinal materials, and they can be bought with only a few dozen copper coins.

Of course, that was outside the palace. Inside the palace, I don’t know if the price would go up.

Although the palace servants had no imperial physicians to treat them, they could buy medicine with their own money.

This is also a profitable business for the Imperial Medical Service.

Occasionally, imperial physicians would reveal some widely applicable prescriptions to palace servants, so that they could buy the medicines.

Although these palace maids who sweep the garden are the lowest-ranking ones in the palace, they still have some money in their hands.

Eunuchs attach great importance to money.

But for the sake of your own life, you have to spend the money.

Moreover, this prescription is really cheap.
