Hearing the witch say this, Zhu Ling breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again.
Zhu Ling stroked her chest and said calmly, "It's better if they're all dead! I'll be relieved if they're all dead."
The witch was overjoyed. This time, she won the bet.
"Take your people and investigate thoroughly. Make sure to find out who is so bold and presumptuous." Zhu Ling said word by word.
"This matter is of great importance. Rescuing all the Gu slaves and little girls may be just for the so-called justice, or it may be for the new Gu developed by you." Zhu Ling's eyes were deep.
"If they're here for the new Gu, then they're most likely a hostile force to our Great Viet. If the new Gu falls into the hands of another country, it will be a huge threat to our Great Viet!"
The witch quickly responded, "Yes, I obey your command!"
Zhu Ling waved her hand and let her leave.
…
Three days later, it will be the annual Chinese Valentine's Day.
Dai Viet and Bactria were both Central Plains countries, so they had many of the same customs.
In Dai Viet, the streets are especially lively on the Qixi Festival.
Young boys and girls will go out to the streets to play and take the opportunity to look for the men or women they like.
Street vendors will naturally seize this good opportunity and make a fortune.
That morning, Xia Miaoyuan got up very early. Nanny Li and Nanny Kong helped her to wash and dress up beautifully.
Xia Miaoyuan looked at herself in the mirror and admired herself for a long time.
Nanny Li sighed, "Our little princess has grown up so much! She's truly a beautiful girl. Now that she's been living in Daiyue for a while, her skin has become even more radiant. When the Empress sees her when we return, she'll be so happy!"
Xia Miaoyuan couldn't help but feel sad after hearing this. "I miss my father, mother, brother, and sister-in-law so much! I wonder how they are celebrating Qixi Festival today."
Nanny Li hugged her lovingly and said, "They must miss you dearly, too. Don't worry, Your Highness. We'll be back soon."
As he was speaking, the Second Prince's voice came in, "Is Miao'er dressed up?"
Because today is the Chinese Valentine's Day, the reception envoy deliberately did not arrange any activities, allowing the Second Prince and his entourage to have a day of free play and experience the customs and culture of Dai Viet.
Seeing that Xia Miaoyuan was ready, the second prince picked up his sister and walked out.
They heard that today was the Qiqiao Festival, and there would be a lot of fun things to do in the capital. They wanted to join in the fun.
The group got on the carriage and soon arrived at the most prosperous place in the capital.
Xia Miaoyuan lifted the carriage curtain and looked out. Although it was morning, the streets were already bustling with activity. Young men and women from Da Yue, dressed in beautiful clothes, were strolling in groups of three or four.
There are many vendors on both sides of the street, selling flowers, various flower products, river lanterns for making wishes, various interesting gadgets, and various snacks. It is really lively and bustling.
"I'm going downstairs to buy some food! There are so many delicious foods!" Xia Miaoyuan shouted excitedly.
The Second Prince nodded in amusement: "Okay, okay, you are such a loser, you only care about delicious food."
After saying this, he asked the driver to find a place to park the carriage, and the group started walking.
The second prince held Xia Miaoyuan's hand, and Han Qingbo, Yin Xizi and others followed behind.
Everyone strolled around with great interest for a while and bought a lot of food and toys.
Xia Miaoyuan had a lot of fun.
In a blink of an eye, it was almost noon.
The second prince had already asked his followers to reserve a private room at the Jinyu Tower, and the group walked to the Jinyu Tower for lunch.
They still booked the largest private room in Jinyulou, which was divided into two rooms, inside and outside, and was a suite.
The second prince, Xia Miaoyuan and others sat in the inner room, while Sang Qi, Nanny Li, Jin Hu, Yin Bao and other attendants sat in the outer room.
Everyone enjoyed the delicious Vietnamese food with great heartiness, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.
At this moment, a thudding sound suddenly came from the wall of the private room.
Everyone was startled and put down their chopsticks. Jin Hu and Yin Bao subconsciously put their hands on the hilts of the swords at their waists.
In the silent private room, a deliberately low male voice rang out, "Second Prince, it's me..."
The second prince was startled.
At this moment, there was a creaking sound from the wall, and then a four-foot-high painting hanging on the wall was pushed open by a hand.
"Oh my God! What is this?" Xia Miaoyuan screamed in fright.
Then, a familiar figure walked in from behind the painting.
Xia Miaoyuan looked closely and found that the man was Yue Haoyun.
When Golden Tiger and Silver Leopard saw that it was him, they felt relieved and put away the swords at their waists.
The Second Prince stared at Yue Haoyun in astonishment, "Where did you come from? You can even walk through walls?!"
Yue Haoyun rolled his eyes at him and said, "How can you walk through walls? I came in through the secret door!"
When the second prince heard this, he hurried over and lifted up the painting. He saw that there was indeed a secret door behind the painting. The secret door was very small, only one foot wide and more than two feet long.
"You are so powerful?!" The second prince looked at Yue Haoyun with surprise.
"I am the boss behind this Jinyu Tower." Yue Haoyun said lightly.
"I see!"
Yue Haoyun seemed very anxious. He grabbed the Second Prince's arm and said, "Come here for a moment. I have something urgent to tell you."
After saying that, Yue Haoyun lifted up the painting and pulled the second prince to the private room next door.
"You guys continue eating..." The second prince said to everyone as he struggled through the secret door.
In the private room next door.
Yue Haoyun pulled the second prince to sit down, and then took out several documents from his bag.
"Han Lie's files have been found. They are all here."
The Second Prince stared at the documents on the table, even more shocked. "How could you be so amazing? You found it so easily? And you even stole it away."
Yue Haoyun opened the document and said, "Eunuch Su is a very versatile person. He was very popular in the palace back then."
"Therefore, after my mother passed away, he was able to be transferred to another place with more money."
"Eunuch Su later became the chief steward of the treasury, and he even used his power to introduce several children from his hometown into the palace, and even adopted many godsons."
"He had a godson who broke his leg and became lame. He could no longer serve in the palace, so Eunuch Su asked someone to transfer him to the memorial warehouse."
"The one who helped this time was his godson."
The Second Prince sighed, "This Eunuch Su is really good to you."
Yue Haoyun raised his head proudly, "That's because my mother saved his life."
The Second Prince took up the document and examined it carefully. As he read, he said, "It says here that Han Lie was suddenly promoted from the position of Attendant of the Ministry of Personnel to the position of Assistant Minister of Personnel in the twelfth year of Pyeongchang in Dai Viet."
"The twelfth year of Pingchang, which is the twentieth year of Longhua in Daxia, is also the year when the palace banquet scandal occurred in Daxia!" The second prince's eyes trembled violently.
