Xing Bang took the palm-leaf fan and started fanning himself. He knew in advance that the eunuch was here to decoct medicine, so he made him familiar with the job.

After a while, a woman with unsteady gait approached the two of them in the yard.

When they got close to each other.

The woman had never seen Xing Bang before, so she subconsciously glanced at him first, then saluted timidly, "This servant greets the two eunuchs."

After saying this, the woman covered her mouth with a handkerchief and started coughing. She looked very dignified, but her face was haggard and sallow, and it was obvious that she was seriously ill. She seemed to be in her thirties.

Xiao Niuzi's face showed no emotion. "Didn't my father-in-law say that it's a waste to take medicine for your illness? Why are you here again?"

After hearing this, the woman trembled slightly and knelt on the ground, "Little eunuch, please help me to clear the blockage. I really don't have anything..."

The woman's voice became smaller and smaller, and the rest of her words were just her mouth moving in silence.

Xiao Niuzi had no sympathy for women at all. Even though she was a mature woman, he let her kneel there without any intention of supporting her.

"Everything is decided by Eunuch Wu. I don't have the ability to smooth things over for you."

Then he turned around and looked at the boiler. "The medicine is ready. Come with me to deliver it later. Let's go report to Eunuch Wu first."

The woman had a miserable and helpless look on her face, choking with sobs: "I have worked diligently in the palace for twenty years, and you just watched me die without helping me, wuwu..."

"I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise if Eunuch Wu gets angry, you will definitely get slapped in the face."

Xiao Niuzi was not moved at all and walked over there directly. Although Xing Bang was somewhat moved, he was powerless and had to follow him.

I knocked on the door twice and let him in.

This old eunuch had no maid to serve him and he sat cross-legged on the bed.

Xing Bang guessed at first glance that he must be someone with martial arts skills. Hasn't he seen a pig run even if he has eaten pork?

"Eunuch Wu, the medicine for number 17 is ready. I'll deliver it right away."

Eunuch Wu didn't even open his eyes, didn't say anything, just waved his hand to indicate.

It's really evil. Do you need to say hello before you poop or pee?

Xing Bang is really overwhelmed. It will take some time for him to fully integrate into this kind of life.

When I went out, I saw the palace maid kneeling at the foot of the stairs, still coughing.

Xing Bang sighed in his heart: "In the harem, being useless is a sin."

Xiao Niuzi packed the cut medicinal container and went out with the Xing stick.

"Brother Erniu, the one we want to deliver is number 17. I'm sure there are quite a few people who need to be delivered. We only have two people in total. Can we deliver it?"

"This is not something we should worry about. Just follow Eunuch Wu's arrangements. We'll deliver it to whoever he tells us to."

Xing Bang felt that this little guy was just a robot. He probably had all the rules and restrictions engraved in his mind. He would do whatever he was told and would never ask or say anything he shouldn't ask or say.

It seems that I can only rely on myself to figure it out slowly. There is no rush, after all, it is only my first day here.

However, through that woman, he also realized that it probably wouldn't take much manpower. There were probably many people like that palace maid, who couldn't get medicine even when they knelt down and begged, so how could they wait for someone to deliver medicine?

"Where are we staying?"

"Just live in the room next to Eunuch Wu."

It was indeed like that. Xiao Niuzi was not at all vague about this matter that he could say with confidence.

It didn't take long before the two came to a very long alley with shabby houses lined up on both sides, with number plates on the doors.

In fact, this is a women's prison. No matter how noble your status was in the past, once you come here you will just be ordered around and given a certain number.

However, Xing Bang thought that since No. 17 was given the privilege of being sent medicine, there must be some reason behind it.

Enter room seventeen.

Not only was it torn on the outside, but it was also a mess on the inside, and the strong musty smell couldn't be blown away even though there were wind blowing in from all sides.

The two came to the bedside, and Xiao Niuzi poured the medicine into a broken bowl, "Number 17, stop pretending to be dead, get up and drink the medicine."

Xing Bang was a little surprised. The seemingly honest little Niuzi had become an arrogant old man here.

Lying on the bed was a woman with long hair and her face mostly covered. She was wearing a gorgeous low-cut palace dress and had very fair skin. It was obvious that this woman must be of a special status.

The clothes are quite clean and new. Could she be a concubine who has just been convicted of a crime?

Xing Bang paid great attention to details and quickly looked the woman over from head to toe.

The woman didn't react at all, but her chest was still rising and falling slightly, which showed that she was definitely still alive.

Next to the medicine bowl there was a bowl of porridge and a piece of food that looked like a steamed bun, but it was obvious that the woman had not touched them.

Seeing that the woman didn't move, Xiao Niuzi shouted in a hoarse voice, "Xiao Bangzi, pull her up and make her eat the food and medicine even if she has to force her mouth to do so."

Xing Bang hesitated for a moment, and Xiao Niuzi continued, "Hurry up, you haven't eaten or drunk anything for three days, and you've caught a cold. If you don't feed it something, it will probably be cold today."

Just when Xing Bang was thinking that he still had some humanity, Xiao Niuzi spoke again, "Eunuch Wu ordered that she has only been here for three days and cannot die for the time being. If something happens to her, our lives will be in danger."

My guess was right. He was the newcomer. He was quite stubborn and started a hunger strike as soon as he came in.

Xing Bang didn't hesitate any longer. He put his arm around the woman's waist and prepared to help her up.

At this time, the woman moved, weakly raised her embroidered fist and hit Xing Bang, and said weakly: "Don't touch me, get out..."

Xing Bang ignored her and picked up the woman. She tried to open Xing Bang's arms, but she was too weak and could only lean on Xing Bang's arms.

Although the woman looked very embarrassed, there was still a faint fragrance coming from her body.

Xing Bang was about to take the porridge from the table when Xiao Niuzi suddenly grabbed his stomach and said, "No, I feel uncomfortable when I see all this food.

"Little Bangzi, I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'll leave this to you. Make sure she eats it all."

After saying that, he ran out in a flash.

The woman took a break and panted, then tried to struggle free.

"You are so weak, don't waste your energy. If you want me to let you go, just eat the food and medicine obediently."

"I won't eat it. There's saliva in that porridge."

The woman was stunned for a moment, but did not struggle anymore, perhaps because she felt that Xing Bang's words were quite gentle.

Although Xing Bang felt a little disgusted after hearing this, he didn't find it strange. When he came to such a place, he would be controlled by everyone and subjected to all kinds of humiliation.

"Well, drink the medicine first. It will at least replenish some water."

Xing Bang picked up the medicine bowl and brought it to the woman's mouth.

As a result, the woman just turned her head away.

"Do you think this medicine is unclean? Don't worry, I promise it doesn't contain any dirt."

The woman turned her head and gathered her hair that was covering her eyes. She stared at the stick for a few seconds, then hesitated for a moment before slowly opening her mouth.

Xing Bang was about to feed the medicine when he suddenly felt an electric shock in his head...

Madam Fanghua

Who can know my heart?
