Chu Yunning had never hated someone so much in her life. She worried for three whole days that her baby would be tortured by these scum.
At this moment, it was the first time she had murderous intentions after traveling through time!
"Princess Xiao, please calm down. If you beat me again, you will be beaten to death!"
A eunuch rushed over from outside the door and stopped Chu Yunning.
Chu Yunning was so angry that she couldn't listen, so she was whipped several times.
"ah!"
People on the ground screamed in agony.
The little eunuch spent a lot of effort
He grabbed Chu Yunning and said, "Princess Xiao, calm down. It's not worth getting so angry that your body is broken. What mistake did this useless person make? It's not worth your taking action."
Chu Yunning shook off the little eunuch, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her emotions as much as possible.
He walked up to Beibei, knelt down and smiled softly: "Beibei, are you hungry?"
Beibei nodded, his stomach growling.
"Mom, I haven't eaten in three days."
The smile on Chu Yunning's face was almost unbearable. She held back her tears and touched Beibei's little head.
"Let's go, mother will take you to dinner."
Before leaving, the child who had just pulled the hem of her skirt looked at her longingly.
"What's your name and where do you live?"
The little boy immediately said: "My name is Li Ziruo, and I live in Pinghe City."
"Do you still remember how you were abducted?"
Li Ziruo nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking rice: "I remember that day I asked the maid to go out to buy snacks, and someone covered my mouth. After I fell unconscious, I was taken to a small shabby house. I still remember that
What do people look like!"
Afraid that Chu Yunning wouldn't believe it, Li Ziruo pointed at Beibei again: "My little brother is also one of them and is locked up in a small shabby house."
Hearing what he said, Chu Yunning looked at Beibei. Beibei nodded and said that what he said was true, so she became more determined to save Li Ziruo.
"I will take Li Ziruo away."
"It can't be done..." The old eunuch was about to speak when his eyes caught Chu Yunning's sharp eyes and he stepped back in fright.
Several people had no choice but to watch Chu Yunning leave.
Chu Yunning led people straight to the imperial dining room. There were fresh chicken, duck, fish and meat on the chopping board, and the ingredients were very rich. She rolled up her sleeves and found a stove, made a bowl of shredded chicken noodle soup for the two children, and steamed snacks.
Then he cut a plate of ready-made squab meat and put it on the table.
"Eat."
When the two children saw the food, their eyes glowed like gold, like hungry wolves encountering raw meat, and they started eating it.
After a while, Beibei ate a large bowl of noodles, three snacks, and half a bowl of soup before burping.
Although Li Ziruo was very hungry, he ate slowly and remained elegant and steady. Looking at the rules and manners, he looked like a kid from a wealthy family.
After the two children finished eating, Chu Yunning asked the little eunuch to prepare hot water and clothes.
Let the two children take a bath comfortably and change into clean clothes.
"Princess Xiao, the Queen Mother has been waiting for you for a long time."
The little eunuch was very anxious and urged him again and again.
Seeing that the two of them had settled down, Chu Yunning took someone to greet the Queen Mother.
"Greetings to the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother quickly stood up, helped Chu Yunning, and then went to help Beibei and took him into her arms: "My son, fortunately the Bodhisattva blessed me and nothing happened. The Ai family is almost scared to death."
Already."
The Queen Mother looked at Beibei while wiping her tears, touching up and down carefully. When she lifted up Beibei's sleeves and saw the wound, she felt extremely distressed.
"How could it be so injured?"
Beibei sniffed and leaned his head against the Empress Dowager's arms: "Grandmother, Beibei misses you so much. If mother hadn't saved me in time, Eunuch Qin would have had to cleanse Beibei."
As soon as the word "purification" was mentioned, the Queen Mother suddenly became furious: "How can this be unreasonable? Come on, go and bring Eunuch Qin to the Ai family!"
Soon Eunuch Qin was brought up and kept kowtowing to the Queen Mother to beg for mercy.
"The Queen Mother, I don't know that this is the young master of Prince Xiao's palace. It was sent by a purchaser outside the palace. I'm just doing things as usual."
When Eunuch Qin heard that the eldest son of Prince Xiao was almost purged, he was so frightened that he lost his courage.
The Queen Mother suddenly slammed the table: "Don't the buyers verify their identities?" Yi
"Slave... this is not my business."
The Queen Mother looked at Chu Yunning, who immediately said: "Eunuch Qin abused lynching in Dongchang and beat people to death. Is this also a palace rule?"
Eunuch Qin hurriedly begged for mercy: "This slave deserves to die. Please forgive me, Princess Xiao."
"Come on, drag him down and kill him with a stick!"
The Empress Dowager gave the order, and Eunuch Qin was gagged and dragged down by two guards. The order was carried out on the spot. The sound of the clap became louder and louder. Within a moment, the guards came back to report, and Eunuch Qin died.
"Drag them to the mass graves," the Queen Mother said in disgust.
Immediately afterwards, the Queen Mother punished dozens of people from Dongchang.
Chu Yunning looked grateful: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for taking the decision for Ning'er."
"Beibei is a grandson of the Ai family. It's too late for the Ai family to feel sorry for him, so how can he tolerate others bullying Beibei?"
The Queen Mother took Beibei into her arms and touched his eyebrows lovingly. She was afraid for a moment that Beibei would have been injured if it had been a little later.
"Have you found out who kidnapped Beibei?" the Queen Mother asked.
Chu Yunning was slightly stunned. She thought the Queen Mother was not paying attention to this matter, so she shook her head truthfully.
She really didn't know who kidnapped Beibei.
But they were definitely not the ones who abducted him. Those people didn't have the ability.
"Investigate! This matter must be thoroughly investigated, and Beibei must be given an explanation!"
The Queen Mother became angry and asked the young eunuch to invite the Emperor.
After a while, Emperor Mingwen arrived, also with an angry look on his face: "It's simply unreasonable. These people actually kidnapped people under my nose. It's really abominable!"
Emperor Mingwen glanced at Beibei and asked a few words in a soft tone.
"Uncle Huang, I'm so scared." Beibei pouted, with a timid face and frightened eyes, and hid in the Empress Dowager's arms.
Emperor Mingwen took a deep breath: "I will definitely give you an explanation and investigate this matter thoroughly!"
"Thank you, Uncle Huang!"
The Queen Mother then spoke: "There are frequent kidnapping incidents in the imperial city. The emperor must not underestimate them, otherwise the people will be unstable."
"This is what my mother taught me."
"The emperor also needs to give an explanation to his ministers. Furthermore, this time it will be strictly investigated whether someone did it deliberately, trying to disrupt the peace of the capital and take the opportunity to rebel."
The Empress Dowager's words were not unimportant. Emperor Mingwen nodded repeatedly and expressed with a serious face that he would investigate thoroughly.
Soon Emperor Mingwen was invited away by the young eunuch.
The Queen Mother patted Chu Yunning's hand: "The Ai family knows that you have suffered a lot of grievances. This incident in Beibei was a near miss. You need to be more careful in the future."
This time it almost cost her her life, and there won't be a second time.
"yes."
After the Queen Mother comforted Chu Yunning for a few words, she waved her hand for them to leave.
After leaving the palace, two carriages were waiting, one for Prince Xiao and the other for Prince Mo.
Beibei looked at the two of them with no expression on their faces and cuddled tightly behind Chu Yunning.
"You two, Beibei has just been found. He needs a lot of rest, so he will go back first."
Ignoring the two of them, Chu Yunning directly carried Beibei into the carriage.
"Go back to the Chu family!"
When the two saw this, neither of them said anything, and they could only leave separately.
"Beibei!" Mrs. Chu cried with joy when she saw Beibei.
Chu Yunning chose to speak simply, trying not to worry Mrs. Chu.
"Grandma, Beibei is fine at all. Don't dare to run around again next time."
Beibei raised a smile, but he was obedient and did not mention the matter of being imprisoned.
Mrs. Chu sighed and touched Beibei's thin cheek distressedly: "It's a near miss. I've lost face for three days and I'm so hungry. Tell grandma what you want to eat?"
"Beibei wants to eat what my grandma made by hand."
Fragrant duck with eight-treasure sauce and Ruyi Cake.”
"Okay, grandma will make it for you."
After Mrs. Chu left, Chu Yunning took Beibei and Li Ziruo into the study.
"You are not allowed to hide anything about what I want to ask you next, and you don't have to be afraid."
The two people sat on chairs, put away their playful smiles and nodded.
"Beibei, how were you kidnapped? Do you remember?"
Beibei pointed to his shoulder: "I was practicing Chinese calligraphy that day. Suddenly my shoulder hurt, and I fell unconscious. When I opened my eyes again, I was locked in a small shabby room."
Beibei's medical skills are not low, so the other party is prepared to use silver needles.
It shows that this person knows the medical skills of Bei Bei Hui.
"The silver needle contained very strong hallucinogens, and I slept for two full days."
Sure enough, there was hallucinogen on the silver needle.
Chu Yunning looked at Li Ziruo again: "Are there any other clues?"
"I couldn't identify the accent. I just heard someone called Jing Niang!"
"Jing Niang?"
Li Ziruo nodded: "Jing Niang has more than twenty children who were sold by her family. Some are boys and some girls. The boys have entered the palace, while the girls have been sold to Yihong Mansion."
That’s the brothel!
"Jing Niang gave this man a large sum of money."
Chu Yunning asked again: "What does the contact person look like?"
Li Ziruo fell into memories: "He is tall, neither fat nor thin. He has a small mole above his left eye and double eyelids. He is about thirty years old. Judging from his walking posture, he must have a problem with his left leg."
Chu Yunning recorded these one by one.
"Princess Xiao, when can I go home?" Li Ziruo asked timidly.
"I have already notified your family. If nothing else happens, it should be soon."
Li Ziruo asked again: "There are so many people captured, why didn't Princess Xiao rescue them all?"
Those people looked about the same age as him.
It's so pitiful.
"Not everyone was kidnapped like you. Some of them were sold into the palace by their families because their families were too poor to eat. They might have starved to death outside, but at least they could have food and clothing in the palace."
Chu Yunning asked herself that she was not the Holy Mother. She had never harmed anyone, and she was not that capable of saving people and competing against the rules of the royal family.
Li Ziruo lowered his head in disappointment, and Beibei also looked disappointed.
"I am weak now. When we can control our own destiny in the future, we can save more people."
Chu Yunning explained patiently: "If we can rescue a group of people today, new people will fill the vacant positions. By then, won't we have harmed more innocent people?"
Beibei nodded as if he understood, and secretly made up his mind that he must control his destiny in his own hands from now on.
