The main reason Sheng Wanwan revealed her identity was to enter the palace.

Only by entering the palace could he have the opportunity to treat the Empress Dowager. Only by completely curing the Empress Dowager's illness could he transfer the title of "Little Divine Doctor" from Sheng Moshi to himself.

In the original book, Sheng Moshi gained the trust of the Emperor and Empress Dowager through his superb medical skills.

Her frequent visits to the palace allowed her, as a concubine's daughter, to climb to the highest level of social circles.

Not only that, she also secretly poisoned the Emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom with a slow-acting poison in his medicinal cuisine. It can be said that Sheng Moshi played a decisive role in the change of dynasty in the Great Yan Kingdom.

Therefore, she needs to enter the palace to replace Sheng Moshi and gain the emperor's trust.

She wanted to gradually strip away Sheng Moshi's halo, turning her into an ordinary concubine's daughter, so that she would be unable to escape her influence.

"All right!"

Seeing Sheng Wanwan's confident demeanor, Si Ruier didn't try to undermine her confidence.

He probably got some precious pills from who-knows-where and thought he made them himself. After all, he's not even two years old, and his head is full of all sorts of wonderful ideas.

Perhaps they're mistaking their imagination for reality...

Seeing that Si Ruier had agreed, Sheng Wanwan smiled and handed the bamboo tube to a little girl of about three or four years old next to her, letting her drink first. After Si Ruier finished drinking, Sheng Wanwan gave the bamboo tube to the other children to drink.

The children were very understanding; after each taking a few sips and feeling their throats soothe, they would pass the drink to the next child.

And they start by giving the drinks to the youngest children, and then gradually introduce the older children.

Sheng Wanwan felt that these children must have formed a group, and there must be a leader among them.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so disciplined!

Although there wasn't much water, it was considered "spiritual water," and after drinking it, the children felt the dryness in their throats disappear, replaced by a moist and nourishing sensation.

"Little sister, your water tastes so good! Is there any more?"

One of the boys, who looked to be eleven or twelve years old, handed the bamboo tube to Sheng Wanwan and asked.

Sheng Wanwan looked over and saw that the young boy was wearing very fine clothes, so his identity must be quite extraordinary. He was accompanied by two boys, about seven or eight years old, dressed in equally fine clothes, and they looked at Sheng Wanwan with expectant eyes.

"That's all! Big brother, are you the leader here? What's your name?"

Sheng Wanwan took the bamboo tube, her large, clear eyes filled with innocence and curiosity.

"My name is Bai Ze, this is Qiao Bin, and this is Zhong Li!"

The young boy smiled at Sheng Wanwan, who was beautiful and had a fearless demeanor despite her young age, which Bai Ze liked very much.

Sheng Wanwan felt the name sounded familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, she realized that these were the children of several high-ranking officials who had gone missing in the capital.

These noble children are usually guarded by servants when they come and go, so how could they have been abducted by human traffickers?

Sheng Wanwan was puzzled, but pretended not to know him.

"Hello, Brother Bai! Hello, Brother Qiao! Hello, Brother Zhong!"

Sheng Wanwan bowed to each of the three children.

"Sheng Wenze wasn't exaggerating, Wanwan, you really are prettier than my sister! But I still like my sister the most!"

"I'm so proud of you!" Qiao Bin said. Sheng Wanwan couldn't help but laugh when she heard Qiao Bin's words. She thought this young man was really cute! He was clearly praising her looks, but he still had to emphasize that his favorite person was his younger sister.

"Brother Qiao's sister must be very beautiful. When Wanwan meets her, she must become good friends with her!"

Sheng Wanwan said sweetly, looking like she was really looking forward to meeting his sister, which greatly satisfied Qiao Bin's vanity.

He thought his younger sister was the most beautiful girl in the world, but the girl in front of him named Wanwan was also very pretty, and she seemed to really like his younger sister!

"Yes, my sister is really pretty. I'll take you guys out to play sometime!"

As Qiao Bin spoke, he sighed with a touch of melancholy.

"I don't know when we'll be able to escape. I've been here for several days now, and I miss home so much!"

Bai Ze and Zhong Li both showed a dejected expression upon hearing Qiao Bin's words. Although they were all noble children, they had been abducted here and had lost their former dignity and freedom, living in fear and anxiety every day.

They wanted to run, but those men all knew martial arts. Aside from a few burly men coming in every two or three days to bring them water and dry rations, the door was never opened. Even if they wanted to escape, they couldn't.

"Big brother, were you also captured here?"

Sheng Wanwan asked curiously.

Bai Ze nodded. "That's right. It's all our fault for being too playful. We skipped school to go play in the Ten-Mile Peach Blossom Forest outside Yandu City. On the way out of the city, we were knocked unconscious, and when we woke up, we were here."

"Big brother, are there only a dozen or so children like you in this place?"

Sheng Wanwan decided to figure out the situation before taking any action.

"It's not just this room. Although we can't see what's happening outside, we can hear children crying and the sound of whips cracking coming from the next room from time to time. This must be a human trafficking den."

All those abducted were children.

Bai Ze has been observing the situation here for the past few days and has gained a preliminary understanding of it.

"Big brother, do you know how many bad guys are here?"

Sheng Wanwan asked.

"I don't know. The two men in charge of our room are very tall and strong, and they know a little bit of martial arts. Besides them, there are a few guards in the yard. There's no way we can escape on our own."
