Chapter 2: The Decline of Morality



He closed his eyes and a blue book appeared in his mind with a few big words written on it - Helian Su's copy of Helian Yu's diary.

He tried to open the diary.

Title Page——

"First of all, remember, I am Helian Yu."

Helian Su half closed his eyes. Helian Yu? He has the same surname as him, but his name is unfamiliar. Maybe he is a relative's child.

The owner of this diary is Helian Yu? Helian Su continued to flip through it and found that he could only open the first page.

[I’m so unlucky today! Unlucky! I used to steal steamed buns from the imperial kitchen and was never caught, but today, I just stole a chicken leg and was chased by Eunuch Wei’s lackeys through eight gates!] [Back in the cold palace, Sister Yan’er was beaten to death by the eunuchs and guards. I swear, I must avenge Sister Yan’er! Let those who bullied her pay the price!] [Let’s write a diary first, save points, exchange for roast duck, exchange for a big cotton-padded jacket, there are so many things that can be exchanged, there is even an elixir of immortality, but it requires a lot of points, forget it, eat a full meal first!] Elixir of immortality?

Helian Suxin!

The diary in his mind was a miracle, an elixir of life, and he believed in it without a doubt.

Any emperor, an ambitious emperor, would like to obtain the elixir of life.

As for the redemption of points, although Helian Su did not know what points were, he was familiar with the word "redemption". Perhaps the function of points was similar to that of silver.

Could it be that this diary was guided by an immortal? Did the heavens think that he was a wise ruler and let him know about this miracle?

Helian Su's heart became more and more hot and excited.

Suddenly, he thought of the word "copy".

That is to say, he is just one of the people who can see it, and there will be others who can see it...

Helian Su murmured: "Helian Yu... the cold palace..."

He is determined to get the elixir of life!

"Chang Hai! Chang Hai! Go check the cold palace for me..."

The crescent moon in the sky looks like a full grain of rice.

The cold palace is dilapidated, and it looks skinny despite the bright moonlight.

Helian Yu put down his pen, puffed his lips and rubbed his empty stomach, "How many points is this diary worth?"

She wrote a lot of nonsense, mixed with true and false.

【156 points.】

The system is as concise as ever.

"Can I exchange something now?"

Helian Yu sniffed, his mind full of delicious chicken legs, steamed buns, and flour-covered fruit...

[Yes, the system mall has been opened, please feel free to purchase. ]

In front of Helian Yu was a huge transparent virtual screen with a points icon in the upper right corner.

The score is clearly marked as 156.

The entire virtual screen is divided into four categories: mortal objects, fairy objects, demonic objects, and technology.

Helian Yu browsed through them all. Except for the fairy objects which she was quite familiar with, she had never heard of most of the other three categories.

156 points is definitely not a lot.

so--

【Beef noodles exchange successful! 】

[The Marrow Cleansing Pill was exchanged successfully! 】

【Fox hair brush purchased successfully! 】

[Current points: 4.]

A bowl of steaming beef noodles suddenly appeared next to Helian Yu.

The bowl is a white jade bowl, filled with red beef broth, with light yellow noodles lying quietly in the broth. The juicy green vegetables and large pieces of reddish-brown beef give people the ultimate visual enjoyment.

The salty aroma of the soup, the wheaty aroma of the noodles, the fresh aroma of the beef, and the fresh fragrance of the vegetables are so rich that they are suffocating.

Helian Yu didn't have time to appreciate it, so he picked up the chopsticks and took a big bite.

It is chewy and smooth, awakening your taste buds, and the strong fragrance seems to be able to lift the top of your head.

When I put the bowl down again, there was not a drop of soup to be seen.

She touched her round belly with a satisfied look on her face.

She was somewhat thankful that she was in a book, otherwise, she would never be able to eat beef noodles in Qingqiu Mountain for her entire life! After eating and drinking, she looked at the small wooden box, which contained the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

Helian Yu made up his mind and threw the marrow cleansing pill into his mouth.

After a few breaths, Helian Yu opened his eyes in confusion.

It seemed that there was no pain at all.

"System, will the mall sell fake items?"

[Yes, I will compensate you ten times if it is fake. But this system only gave you one Marrow Cleansing Pill, not eleven, which means this item is real.]

Helian Yu: "..."

The world is going downhill!

Helian Yu pulled the thin clothes closer to his body, huddled in a corner and closed his eyes.

I will go to the laundry tomorrow. The original owner's mother has a good sister in the laundry. Maybe she can ask her for help to send Yan'er off in a decent way.

Helian Yu fell asleep peacefully, but Helian Su couldn't fall asleep at all.

He tossed and turned on the spacious dragon couch.

Who is the person who wrote the diary? How can he earn points? How many points are needed for the elixir of life? How can he get the elixir of life?

"Helian Yu..."

"Helian Yu."

There was a similar cry outside the palace.

"Elixir of Life... Smart."

The boy's laughter, accompanied by the melodious and light piano music, overflowed out of the window.

"Chang Zuo, revise the letter and return to the capital!"

"Yes, sir."

The charcoal fire in the house was burning very fiercely. Through the dancing red-orange flames, two figures, one tall and one short, could be vaguely seen.

The flame gradually faded away until it was completely hidden in the red-hot charcoal.

“Wow!”

Cold water poured down, soaking the remaining warmth of the charcoal fire.

The copper basin fell to the ground, making a clanging sound.

The palace maids on the large bunk bed rolled off the bed one by one, knelt in front of the aunt in charge who was pouring water on them, and remained silent.

"Everyone is well fed and well rested, and their clothes are waiting for me to wash, right?"

"Thinking back to the time when I first entered the palace, I was nothing like you guys. I got up at 11am to wash clothes and came back to sleep at 12am. Who in the palace didn't praise me for being diligent?"

"You are so good! Just wait for me, the aunt in charge, to call you!"

"Get out and work now! Otherwise you won't have any food to eat for the rest of the day!"

"Aunt, calm down."

The young palace maids dared not to be angry or speak, and they all lowered their heads and listened to the "teachings" of the aunt in charge.

The housekeeper snorted coldly and glanced at the crowd, "Hongying, there's a little girl outside looking for you."

Hongying lowered her head to thank her, and the housekeeper took Hongying out.

"Hongying, Eunuch Wei from the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent two more pairs of embroidered shoes. When I took a look, I saw that they were made of silk satin, a material that only the masters in the palace could afford to wear."

"Let me take a look at the size of the embroidered shoes. They fit my feet perfectly. Isn't that a coincidence?"

Hongying lowered her eyelids and whispered softly, "Since we are destined to be together, Auntie will give you a pair to wear."

"How can I say this? This is a gift specially given to you, Miss Hongying, by Eunuch Wei!" The aunt in charge smiled from ear to ear and flattered her by calling her 'Miss'.

Hongying forced a smile and didn't say anything else. She looked towards the gate of the laundry department, where a thin little girl in tattered clothes was standing.

If begging was not prohibited in the palace, Hongying would not doubt where Helian Yu was this little beggar.

"I don't know who the mother of that little girl is. She dared to secretly give birth to a child in the palace. She doesn't know whether she lives or dies!"

The aunt in charge glanced at Helian Yu with contempt, then rushed aside and loudly scolded the young palace maid who had just arrived at the laundry department.

Hongying looked at Helianyu carefully, "Are you looking for me?"

"yes."

Helian Yu also looked at Hongying, and seeing that there was no hostility in her eyes, she seemed to be a submissive person. It was not surprising that she was a good sister of the original owner's mother.
