"Water, water..."
Zhou Yi moaned unconsciously, feeling his lips moistened, and he swallowed a few times without thinking.
The medicinal decoction slid down his throat and into his stomach.
A warmth spread through his organs and circulated through his limbs, his originally weak body regaining some strength.
He opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the copper lamp on the ceiling, and standing before him was an old man with a pale face and no beard.
A sharp pain in his lower body brought Zhou Yi's groggy consciousness back to full alertness, and he finally realized where he was.
The Directorate of Palace Attendants!
In other words, the agency mentioned by common folk that managed the eunuchs.
Zhou Yi was born into a farming family in Wannian County, and after a severe drought last year left them without a harvest, his sister starved to death. To keep his elder brother alive, his parents sold him to the palace to become a eunuch.
