Just as he was feeling angry, he heard a noise outside the door. Bai Chi immediately put away the dishes and chopsticks. Then a woman with disheveled hair came in holding a broken bowl.

"Bao'er, eat. Mom has brought you food."

The woman's hair and face were disheveled, and the original color of her clothes was almost unrecognizable. Her hands were black, and her nails were almost an inch long, black and dirty, and contained a lot of dirt.

After seeing Bai Chi, a silly smile appeared on his face, and even his pace quickened a lot.

"Bao'er, eat, eat, I'm not hungry anymore."

"Master, this is the old lady in the cold palace. It is her contribution that the original owner survived this illness."

Bai Chi nodded to indicate that she understood. This woman had been in the cold palace for almost ten years and was also the concubine of the current emperor.

It was raining heavily when she was thrown into the cold palace. Because she was thrown in so violently, the newly formed fetus in her belly was gone. She was filled with grief and anger, and she had mental problems.

It happened that it was raining heavily on the day the original owner was sent to the cold palace, and she was thrown in at the place where the woman had had a miscarriage that year.

So the woman treated the original owner as her own child and always gave the original owner food first.

This time when the original owner fell into the water, it was she who rescued him, and then she snatched food every day to feed the original owner.

But it is the cold palace after all, a forgotten corner. Not to mention having enough food, sometimes no one may remember to bring food for two or three days.

Those who have money and connections outside are better off, as they can have people send them food and spend money to buy things.

Unfortunately, the original owner and this crazy concubine were both abandoned poor people and had no money.

So they could only wait for the things to be sent from the palace.

Just as he was thinking, the woman had already stuffed the thing into Bai Chi's hand.

"Bao'er, eat. Eat and grow taller."

As he said this, he touched Bai Chi's head with a smile.

Bai Chi looked at the bowl in his hand. It was a bowl of cold vegetable leaf soup. Although it was called vegetable leaf soup, it was actually no different from the water used to wash the pot.

The vegetable leaves were old and yellow, and a few drops of solidified oil floated on the cold soup. From my memory, the soup tasted either too salty or too bland. Apparently, cooking depends entirely on the chef's mood.

"Master, this, this is too much to eat, right?"

Even Xiao Hei was shocked. It was bad enough that the original owner had no choice, but its master had all kinds of delicacies, so why would he need to eat these!

Fortunately, at this time, the woman gave the vegetable soup to Bai Chi and turned around and left.

Bai Chi breathed a sigh of relief, and then before the woman could leave, a silver needle shot into the back of her neck.

The woman fell straight down in an instant, and was caught by Bai Chi... but couldn't catch her!

This body was so hungry that it had no strength left, so Bai Chi was forced to kneel on the ground with the woman, sweating profusely.

"Master, you've only been drinking water these past two days, and you've been having a fever and sweating repeatedly. Your strength hasn't recovered yet."

After taking out the silver needle, Bai Chi asked the woman to lie down on the ground, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and sat casually beside her.

"Well, I forgot in my haste. Please keep an eye on the surroundings for me. If anyone comes, remind me."

Xiao Hei responded, and then Bai Chi began to feel the woman's pulse.

The woman's health was much better than his and she wasn't as weak.

Yes, the original owner considered himself a man and a scholar, and he couldn't lower himself to be with women, let alone a group of crazy women who were competing for food.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the original owner could not eat those leftovers, or even some food that had gone bad.

In addition, she couldn't leave the cold palace, so she had some self-destructive thoughts, which is why she became so thin now.

It was also because of this escape from death that I finally realized that it is better to live a miserable life than to die.

So after this incident, he finally started to plan for his livelihood. He persuaded his concubine who had someone outside to bring in some vegetable seeds so that he could be self-sufficient and at least not worry about starving to death.

As for being buried alive later, we can only say that the new emperor was really inhuman!

But it was only a little better than his, but still weak, and severely lacking in qi and blood.

Bai Chi thought about it and searched in the space. He finally found a small jade bottle. He forgot when he made the medicine. It was used to replenish qi and nourish blood, but the effect was not good, so he didn't use it. Now it was time to use it.

This woman can only take medicine with average effects. If the effects are too good, she will be too weak to benefit from it.

I helped her half-up and gave her some water to drink. Fortunately, although she was unconscious, she knew how to swallow instinctively.

He took out a silver needle from the space and quickly gave the woman a few injections on the head.

After a cup of tea, Bai Chi pulled out the silver needle and finally regained some strength, then he helped the woman up.

As soon as she stood up, the woman opened her eyes and looked around blankly. When she saw Bai Chi, she immediately grinned and touched the top of Bai Chi's head.

"Good boy, baby."

After saying that, he walked away with a smile.

Bai Chi: “…”

After a while, he could only sigh, "Poor guy," then closed the door and went back to his room.

"Meow~"

A little black cat jumped in from the window and jumped into Bai Chi's arms when Bai Chi sat down at the table.

Bai Chi touched Xiao Hei, whom he hadn't touched for a long time. The furry feel seemed to instantly dispel the rotten and moldy smell in the room.

"Master, what are you going to do now? Kill the prince who made the original owner buried with him?"

Baichi stroked the cat a little harder: "Of course, I eat first."

As he said this, he took out the porridge he had not finished and continued to eat the remaining half bowl. Finally, he was no longer hungry.

He collected the garbage and poured the vegetable soup the woman brought into the corner of the flower bed.

Although the woman meant well, he really couldn't eat it.

But when I turned my hand over, I found a box of snacks, mung bean flavored, which is a common snack here.

He pulled out a few leaves and wiped the broken bowl clean - it was the cleanest thing he could find.

Then he put a few snacks in the bowl.

"Xiao Hei, where is that woman from before?"

Xiao Hei immediately projected the entire cold palace onto the screen, marked the other party's location, and drew the best route.

"Why don't you just say she's next door to me?"

It's less than 20 meters away, is it necessary to be so grand and even draw a route map?

"It's getting dark, and I'm afraid you won't be able to see me."

Xiao Hei chuckled twice, and the route disappeared, but the map was still there.

While Bai Chi was looking for someone, he observed this cold palace. The walls were higher than other places and there was only one small door.

Anyone who comes in will never be able to leave in this lifetime unless they die.

Moreover, the cold palace was not very large, with a yard of less than 500 square meters, but it held more than a dozen people, the longest of whom had been imprisoned for more than 20 years.

The high palace walls, limited space, and hopeless imprisonment are enough to drive everyone crazy.

Just when Bai Chi saw the woman, Xiao Hei suddenly exclaimed:

"Master, I found a new exit, not the main entrance!"
