This place is the largest hiding place for the secret guards.
The captain of the secret guards, Wang Meng, brought them to a side courtyard.
"The little girls we rescued last night all live here," Wang Meng introduced.
The Second Prince led Xia Miaoyuan inside and asked as they walked, "I heard that most of these children were poisoned. How are they now? Have they been cured?"
Wang Meng nodded. "It's been cured. Miss Chunyu asked that Doctor Yin examine them and prescribe some detoxifying and nourishing medicine for them to recover."
"That's easy. I have also thought of this and specially brought Doctor Yin here." The second prince said lightly.
At this time, everyone had arrived at the main house in the courtyard.
Xia Miaoyuan couldn't wait any longer, so he let go of the second prince's hand and ran into the inner room.
There were three beds in the inner room, and three little girls were lying on each bed.
They seemed to be in low spirits. When they heard Xia Miaoyuan's footsteps, they opened their eyes and looked at her with some panic in their eyes. When they saw that it was a little girl coming in, their eyes softened.
"You must take your medicine well and eat well, and you will get better soon." Xia Miaoyuan said with a smile.
Hearing her say this, several little girls smiled with curved lips.
"The people living in this room are relatively weak," Wang Meng introduced.
Yin Xizi, who was following behind, heard this and hurried forward a few steps, walked in, and called out, "Do you have any paper and pen here? I'll see them right away!"
Seeing her like this, Xia Miaoyuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Aunt Yin, the medical genius in her bones is at work! The moment she sees a patient, she can't help but want to treat them."
Yin Xizi rushed into the house, took the pulse of the little girls one by one, and prescribed medicine.
On the other side, the second prince and his companions went to take a look in another room.
In comparison, the little girls in this room were in better spirits. Some of them were sitting on the bed weaving flower ropes, some were leaning on the bed in a daze, and some were chatting in low voices.
After seeing the little girls, the Second Prince and Xia Miaoyuan felt much more at ease.
Yin Xizi said that since the little girls were newly captured, even if they were poisoned, the poison would only last for a short time, so their bodies would recover easily.
"I heard that you also rescued more than a dozen adults. How are they?" the second prince asked Wang Meng.
"Your Highness, these people have been placed in another courtyard. Would you like to go and take a look?"
The Second Prince nodded: "I want to see!"
After saying that, Wang Meng led everyone to a more spacious side courtyard.
As soon as everyone entered the yard, they smelled a foul odor.
The Second Prince and Xia Miaoyuan couldn't help but frown.
Wang Meng's face was filled with embarrassment. He explained, "Your Highnesses, I'm truly sorry. These adults who were rescued have been imprisoned for years for Gu testing, and they all have a foul odor."
"After we placed them here, we were so busy detoxifying them and saving their lives that we didn't have time to clean them."
"Or, Your Highnesses, please wait a few days until they are clean before visiting them. Otherwise, it will pollute your eyes."
The Second Prince waved his hand: "It's okay. Since we're here, even if it's dirty and smelly, we have to take a look."
After saying that, he glanced down at Xia Miaoyuan and Yin Xizi and said, "You two women, one big and one small, if you think it's dirty or ugly, you don't have to go in!"
Xia Miaoyuan put her hands on her hips and said, "I am the dignified Princess Anguo, how can I be afraid of dirt and stench?"
Yin Xizi laughed heartily and said, "My ancestors have been doctors for generations. When I was a child, my grandfather taught me that a doctor should be kind and not afraid of dirt or stench!"
The Second Prince said in a loud voice: "Alright! I am not afraid, let's go!"
After saying that, the three of them, along with their followers, walked into the courtyard.
Inside the courtyard, several secret guards with their mouths and noses covered by scarves were helping some men who were in better mental states to shave their hair and beards.
Because these people hadn't washed for a long time, their hair and beards were stuck together and had to be shaved off completely.
"Captain Wang, please take me to treat the critically ill patient first!" Yin Xizi urged.
The second prince nodded to Wang Meng, and Wang Meng left the second prince and Xia Miaoyuan behind and took Yin Xizi to the inner room.
Just then, a familiar male voice sounded.
"You guys came earlier than me!"
The brother and sister looked up and saw that it was Yue Haoyun.
The Second Prince glanced at him and jokingly said, "Why don't you just hide in the palace and pretend to be dead? Why are you wandering around out here?"
Yue Haoyun crossed his arms and said, "What are you talking about? I was present when we discussed rescuing people!"
"I also deserve some credit for your decision to rescue them! Now that they've been rescued, why won't you let me come and take a look?"
The Second Prince pointed at Yue Haoyun and said with a smirk, "Does that count as a contribution?"
Just as the two were about to continue bickering, Chunyu Yilan's voice rang out, "Well, let's go check on those people first, shall we?"
"These people are the witches using them to test new Gu insects. Almost every one of them is already deeply poisoned."
"Even if I have cured them of the poison, many of them have been suffering from the poison for years, and their internal organs have been damaged. I don't know if they can still survive."
After hearing Chunyu say this, Yue Haoyun and the Second Prince lost interest in bickering instantly.
"I never thought that there would be such a heartless thing in my Dai Viet. I must investigate it thoroughly. When I return to the court, it will be the day when the Dai Viet witch is destroyed!" Yue Haoyun's eyes were deep.
As they were talking, Chunyu Yilan had already brought them into the house.
