"Jia Li 2"
5

Right at the moment when the back gate was about to close, Jia Li and Mo An had arrived. Luckily the rear gate guards had good hearts and allowed them to enter. After arriving at the palace Jia Li and Mo An went straight home to their respective rooms. Jia Li was so tired from going around all day, he really wanted to sleep faster tonight. But who would have thought, just at the moment when Jia Li was about to enter the senior servant's room came and scolded him.

"good, you are running around ! While we are here to work hard" said one of the waiters. The maid's name was Nowa. The senior servant who had always troubled Jia Li, not only him but all his other junior servants. The girl was pretentious, irritating Jia Li.

"not today, my day off ? Can't I just enjoy my day off for a little while ?" jia Li asked.

Nowa who heard that suddenly got angry, she did not like to be denied. Nowa pulled Jia Li lan's arm dragging her roughly out of the room, until Jia Li fell down.

"ah.." - Jia Li.

"you sleep outside tonight, consider this your punishment for daring to refute me and for neglecting your duty !" nowa.

All the servants who saw that could only be silent, they wanted to help but his fear of Nowa made them only able to keep quiet. That was because the Dowa was a confidant of the empress assigned to the palace kitchen (or rather a spy).

Again and again Jia Li could only be patient, although in his heart he was anxious to rebel because he felt oppressed and his rights were usurped. But if he rebelled it would not be good for Jia Li, he was only a lowly servant and had no grip. If anything happens to her, who would care, Mo An ? Although Mo An cared, he could not do anything either and simply became a spectator.

Jia Li's desire to get out of the palace began to appear. If he cannot go back to his time then the best way is to seek his identity and build his own strength to survive. In this age only powerful people are seen and appreciated, people of their lower class are like ants. If they die, no one will care.

Not wanting to continue being a spectacle, Jia Li left the territory that the servants room. He wants to find calm. 

"beautiful" Jia Li said as he looked at the sky. 

Tonight the sky is full of stars, and the moon shines brightly. If in his old days, to see the stars he had to go to a far place because the sky full of stars would not be found in big cities because the sky is covered with air pollution. Yes ...at least there is the advantage of this era, which does not need a large capital to see beautiful stars.

Jia Li continued to walk down the palace, but could only look at the magnificent palaces of the emperor, empress, concubines, princes and princesses from a distance. Jia Li was unwilling to go too far, he was afraid that it would bring trouble for him. Feeling tired while going to the 3rd prince's territory, Jia Li sat near the gate of the 3rd prince's palace. According to Jia Li this place would be safer than the other palaces considering he was a slave of the 3rd prince, at least if he made a mistake then the punishment would not be heavy, either, considering Jia Li was the people of the 3rd prince

There was actually another place that Jia Li was eager to visit, especially if not the imperial library. But since a few days ago there was news of the imperial library being entered by intruders, the guard in the library had become very strict. Jia Li could only stare sadly at the building that he missed so much, because it had been a few days now Jia Li never again entered there. 

"PLEASE...!" shouted someone who instantly made Jia Li stand up. From that voice Jia Li could guess it was the voice of a man.

Jia Li who was feeling sorry for the owner of the voice started walking closer to the origin of the sound. Jia Li peeked out from the edge of the entrance gate of the prince's back garden to the 3rd. How surprised he was when he saw a group of people fighting fiercely.

"PLEASE....Ttolo.." the voice again caught Jia Li's attention.

He searched for the origin of the sound, as he stared at the lake he was shocked. He saw a man drowning, the man tried hard to stay on the surface. It was obvious that he was panicking and frightened from his face. It really looks sad. Slowly but surely the man began to fatigue, and was out of breath, it was clearly visible from the man's movements that were starting to be powerless.

Jia Li did not know what possessed him, yet his body moved swiftly about to save the man. He ran towards the lake, and quickly dived there. If only the matter of swimming was not a big problem, because in his former life Jia Li was an expert, he even won first place in the swim race at high school. Swimming is her favorite sport.

Jia Li was swimming so beautifully, the clothes he was wearing were probably just lowly maid clothes. But it looked beautiful like a lotus while it was in the water, not to mention the moonlight shining down on its face making Jia Li like a water goddess. The cold water that hit his skin again made Jia Li numb, even his lips were already trembling from the cold, yet he tried to hold on. 

By the time Jia Li got to where the man was, the man had been unconscious. Not wanting to waste any time, Jia Li instantly saved the man, then Jia Li directly led him to the edge, he immediately checked the state of the man. When Jia Li found out that the man was not breathing, he started to panic. Jia Li did what he knew, like pressing the chest a few times. But when those things did not catch on, Jia Li swiftly gave an artificial breath through a merriment mouth, with some breathing assistance, the man began to cough and return to breathing. The man's eyes opened slightly. Jia Li was quite happy then, his fear and panic started to go somewhere. 

"thankfully you've come to your senses, sir, I almost died from panic and fear you're dead" Jia Li said with a small smile.

Slowly the man closed his eyes. The man still looked very weak at the moment, Jia Li felt uneasy leaving him in the middle of a fight. He could have died from accidentally being stabbed by a sword. Jia Li decided to take him to a safe place, although it would drain his energy considering the man's body was 3 times that of his body. Once you are in a safe place, 

Jia Li sat beside the man, he was extremely exhausted. Jia Li breathed in oxygen greedily, while occasionally hitting his painful body. After feeling better, Jia Li again examined the man's body, after knowing the man's condition was in good condition, Jia Li was only able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"you owe me a lot, sir" Jia Li said as he looked at the man disliked.

Right now they were in the horse food storage warehouse, because this place was full of straw so this place felt a little warm. Jia Li covered the man's body with straw, in order to warm the body and hide it. After that Jia Li decided to return to her room by sneaking in order to change her clothes. He did not want to fall ill anymore, let alone his body was currently very susceptible to disease.
