Chapter 118 I will do whatever you ask me to do

"And the palace built specifically for you is actually just a cover. Yang Kaiguang used the excuse of building the palace to collect taxes from the local people. The local gentry and powerful people are fine. They have plenty of money and are even willing to pay more just to show their face in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future. The poor people are pitiful. They can't pay, so they can only work as coolies, helping to build the palace day and night. I don't know how many people have collapsed from exhaustion."

…

Nie Changping talked about many things about County Magistrate Yang in one breath.

Most of them he heard from the common people, and a small part he eavesdropped on by having two of his guards lurk in the county government office last night.

After a long while, Luo Qinghan finally spoke in a deep voice: "Don't worry about County Magistrate Yang for now. I will deal with him later. Let's first find out the whereabouts of those missing children."

At this point, he turned to look at Xiao Xixi and asked, "Can you figure out where those children are going?"

Xiao Xixi said: "I need their birth dates."

Luo Qinghan asked Nie Changping to find out the birth dates of those children.

Nie Changping had already experienced Xiao Xi's calculation skills yesterday, so he didn't say much. He just took the task and left.

It was not until the afternoon that Nie Changping returned.

He placed a piece of paper filled with birth dates and names in front of Xiao Xixi.

"That's all I could find out. Some of the children's parents have already fainted from crying and are still unconscious. I can't get anything out of them even if I want to."

Xiao Xixi said: "This much is enough."

She quickly scanned the birth dates and found that they were all of children between eight and twelve years old, both boys and girls.

She closed her eyes and began to calculate silently in her mind.

Cold, hungry, panic, helpless...

Countless negative emotions surged in, weighing down Xiao Xixi's heart.

She raised her hands to support herself on the table, her face slightly pale.

Luo Qinghan was sitting next to her. Seeing her like this, he raised his hand, put his arm around her shoulders, and let her lean on him.

Seeing this, Nie Changping couldn't help but smack his lips. The prince really doted on this little eunuch!

Xiao Xixi leaned on the prince, and it took her a long time to recover from the negative emotions. She said softly, "Those children are locked up in a very dark place with no windows. It is very cold all around. That place is in the southeast, three miles away from us."

Luo Qinghan looked at Nie Changping.

The latter immediately said, "I'll check it out right away."

Nie Changping left in a hurry with his guards.

Luo Qinghan went over what Xiao Xixi had just said in his mind. When he looked down at her again, he saw that she had fallen asleep leaning on him.

Her face was still a little pale, but her brows were relaxed and she looked like she was sleeping soundly.

This moment.

It seems as if all the hustle and bustle of the world has gone away.

He felt extremely peaceful.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door.

Xiao Nan's voice came through the door.

"Master."

Luo Qinghan: "Come in."

Xiao Nan and Xing'er walked in one after another.

Xing'er stopped crying, but her eyes were still red.

She wanted to speak, but when she saw Xiao Xixi fell asleep, she suddenly didn't dare to speak, for fear of disturbing her sleep.

Luo Qinghan said calmly: "Just keep talking, she won't wake up."

Xing'er then spoke cautiously, her voice very hoarse.

"I have already buried my grandfather. From now on, I am your slave. I will do whatever you ask me to do."

Xixi: From now on, all the pigs in my backyard are yours!

Xing'er: Okay, my lady, no problem, my lady!

Luo Qinghan: ...
