It was already morning when the second prince received the news.
Jin Hu reported happily: "Your Highness, it's done!"
The Second Prince, Han Qingbo, and Xia Miaoyuan were having breakfast together.
When the three of them heard this, they were all overjoyed.
Xia Miaoyuan was jumping and dancing with a bun in his hand.
"Great! Great!"
The Second Prince made a gesture to her to keep quiet, and Xia Miaoyuan sat down in disappointment.
"Jin Hu, hurry up and tell me in detail. How did things go last night? Was everything going well? Did any of our men suffer any casualties? How many people did you rescue? Was Dan Niang among them?"
The second prince asked a bunch of questions in one breath.
Jin Hu then recounted what happened last night.
The three of them felt their blood boiling and were extremely excited just by listening to it.
Jin Hu added, "Also, we found Dan Niang. Among the girls we rescued, there was one with a rouge mole on her face. I thought she looked very similar to the portrait. She said her name was Dan Niang, so I brought her back."
The Second Prince stood up excitedly and said, "Quickly bring this little girl to Madam Kong to see."
Jin Hu responded and retreated.
Seeing this, Xia Miaoyuan couldn't eat anymore. He threw the half-eaten bun on the table and ran out with Jin Hu.
"I want to go see it too!"
The second prince looked at his sister's back helplessly and chuckled.
Turning to Han Qingbo, he said, "Shall we also go and witness this exciting scene?"
Han Qingbo smiled and nodded.
…
Jin Hu led a haggard little girl into Kong Ma's room.
"Mammy, please look at this child. We rescued her last night."
At this time, Madam Kong and her daughter-in-law Suniang were sitting in the room, staring at the two bowls of porridge in front of them.
Yesterday, the Second Prince sent people to rescue her, but he didn't tell the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. He just said that he had sent people to continue the search, and told them to rest assured.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had been clamoring to go together, but the second prince wouldn't let them.
Ever since Dan Niang went missing, they have hardly had a proper sleep or eaten well. If this continues, their bodies will collapse.
Early this morning, Nanny Li specially brought them some porridge and side dishes so that they could eat at least some.
But they were worried about Dan Niang's safety and could not eat at all. They just stared at the bowl of porridge in a daze.
But just now, they heard a male voice asking them to recognize the child, and they were suddenly startled.
Madam Kong and Su Niang hurried over, and after just one glance, they stumbled towards the child.
"Ah! It's Dan Niang!"
"Child! Let grandma see!"
"Let mother see!"
Madam Kong and Su Niang held the little girl in their arms, kissed her again and again, looked at her again and again, tears streaming down their faces like beads from a broken string.
Xia Miaoyuan and the second prince stood outside the door and watched this scene, their eyes sore.
[Ah! My eyes really want to pee!] Xia Miaoyuan wiped her tears and smiled at the three of them, the grandparents and grandchildren.
After the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren cried for a long time, their emotions gradually calmed down.
Only then did Madam Kong realize that the Second Prince and his men were standing outside the door. She grabbed Dan Niang and came over to them. She made Dan Niang kneel down, then knelt down herself and said, "In my next life, I will serve the Second Prince like a slave to repay his kindness!"
After that, he pressed Dan Niang's head and said, "Quick, kowtow to your benefactors. If the Second Prince hadn't sent someone to look for you, you don't know what would have happened..."
When Dan Niang heard this, she knew that the person in front of her was her savior, and she kowtowed several times.
"Get up quickly. Just kowtow twice as a token of your respect. If you kowtow again, it will break!" The second prince hurriedly helped Dan Niang up.
Nanny Kong and Su Niang praised the second prince again and repeatedly expressed their gratitude for the kindness of him and the little princess.
The second prince felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.
Seeing this, Han Qingbo hurried forward and gave some instructions to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which helped to rescue the second prince.
The Second Prince picked up Xia Miaoyuan and walked back. Xia Miaoyuan said seriously, "Brother, I want to see the children who were rescued!"
The second prince actually had the same intention.
He asked the secret guards to rescue the person, but the matter was not over just by rescuing him.
These people were rescued from the witch, not ordinary traffickers. If they find out, they will not let it go.
It is very likely that someone will be sent to search for them.
If we save them and then ignore them, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Furthermore, most of them had been poisoned, and leaving them alone would be tantamount to leaving them to die.
Anyway, how to accommodate them is an urgent issue that needs to be addressed.
Thinking of this, the Second Prince nodded and said, "Okay, Brother will take you there. But don't worry, we have to wait."
Today, there is a plan.
Because Daxia brought ten new looms and jacquard machines to Dai Viet during this visit, Dai Viet arranged for the delegation to visit the Dai Viet Weaving Bureau.
Today is the day to visit the Weaving Bureau.
That's why the second prince said to wait a while.
The Second Prince and Han Qingbo changed their clothes, and soon the reception envoy came to pick them up.
Xia Miaoyuan spent the day feeling both excited and impatient.
It was not until dinner time that the Second Prince and Han Qingbo returned.
As soon as they came back, Xia Miaoyuan stuck to the second prince.
"Second brother, look at me, I have already changed into clothes to go out!" Xia Miaoyuan said with his head raised.
The Second Prince naturally understood what she meant. He held her in his arms and said, "Okay! Brother, listen to Miao'er. Let's go out for dinner today!"
Xia Miaoyuan's eyes turned, [Oh, Second Brother is speaking in code! He's afraid the spies in the mansion will notice!]
Thinking of this, she said crisply, "Great! Let's go out to eat! Miao'er loves eating out the most! I'm going to the biggest restaurant!"
Then, the second prince called Han Qingbo and Yin Xizi, got on a carriage, and headed to the largest restaurant in the capital, Jinyulou.
The Daxia delegation's visit to Daiyue has attracted much attention. Whether in their residence or outside, there must be a lot of spies watching their every move.
Therefore, going to the secret guard's place must be done in secret.
The carriage arrived at Jinyu Tower in a short while, and Jin Hu asked the shopkeeper to prepare the best box to receive them.
After the waiter had served the food and wine, Jin Hu locked the door. They all quickly changed into ordinary clothes.
The second prince brought Jinhu and pretended to be two brothers, and Yinbao followed Yin Xizi and Xia Miaoyuan, pretending to be a common woman with a son and a daughter.
Then, they slipped out of the restaurant's back door under the cover of their followers.
Only Han Qingbo and a few followers were left in the box.
After some twists and turns, they finally arrived at a house.
This house is not small, but its style is very simple.
At the back door of the house, a secret guard had been waiting there.
Seeing them coming, he quickly opened the door and let them in.
