“Really…really?”
"Yes!" King Jin nodded solemnly, "You can go out with us. Even if I fail, you can just go back to your miserable life! Of course, if I succeed, you can be free and have a chance to avenge yourself. What a great thing, isn't it?"
Sure enough, not only the boy who spoke, but also some other older children had changes in expression.
Xiao Ruoyi looked up at the back of Prince Jin and nodded with satisfaction. [The emperor's uncle is a little silly sometimes, but he is still quite useful sometimes!]
King Jin, who was originally very proud to see these children were moved by his words, suddenly felt as if his knee was hit by an arrow.
King Jin pretended that he didn't understand his niece's inner complaints and asked the boy curiously, "What's your name?"
Even though this kid suffered such a great injury, he still has a clear mind, which is pretty good!
"My name is Huo Jingzhou!"
Xiao Ruoyi tilted her head, feeling somewhat suspicious, [Huh? This name sounds so familiar? I seem to have heard of it somewhere!]
King Jin shuddered. This name sounded familiar? Who was this little brother? Did he have a different identity?
...
...
"My Lord, can you really help us get revenge?"
King Jin raised his head and puffed out his chest confidently, "Of course, what I say is as good as gold!"
Xiao Ruoyi nodded secretly, [That's right, the emperor's uncle does have some character! And he has the status to say these things! ]
King Jin was even more proud when he received Xiao Ruoyi's affirmation.
Huo Jingzhou looked at Prince Jin in confusion as he suddenly became complacent. What happened?
"Don't worry, my brother has long wanted to remove the prime minister. Today, the prime minister fainted at the morning court because of my brother and Yiyi, and the imperial physician diagnosed that he would not live long! We came here mainly to see the prime minister, but we didn't expect to accidentally enter here!" King Jin said with a smile, "The prime minister was disciplined, so he got retribution, and his son is no exception!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Originally, this kind of thing should not be told to an outsider like Huo Jingzhou, but in order to reassure them, Prince Jin told them, which made Huo Jingzhou feel much more at ease.
"Okay, Huo boy, get everyone up there quickly!"
Huo Jingzhou looked worriedly at the other children being treated by Xiao Ruoyi.
When King Jin saw Huo Jingzhou's eyes, he naturally understood what he meant and waved his hand, "Don't worry, my niece is here! She is the disciple of a god! It's just saving people, it's no big deal!"
Huo Jingzhou was still somewhat puzzled and confused. The little princess was only three and a half years old. How could she possibly save someone? Wasn't this a bit too much of a joke?
Although Huo Jingzhou's face was very dirty, the look in his clear eyes was still seen by King Jin.
Prince Jin touched his nose and said, "My little niece is too young and she looks unreliable!"
"Don't worry. Besides, it's more important to get these children up there first. The two of us will help together!"
“Okay… okay!”
Huo Jingzhou glanced at Xiao Ruoyi. Although he had doubts, given the environment and situation, he could only get these children to the ground one by one.
"This is not the place for us to stay. This is our only chance to be saved! Anyone who can walk should go up there!"
After all, everyone has been here for a while and still trusts Huo Jingzhou.
For the slightest hope of being rescued, everyone who was still able to move stood up and ran forward.
This is their only chance, they can't let it go!
For those who couldn't get up by themselves, Huo Jingzhou would help them, or Prince Jin would pick them up and carry them upstairs.
“I’m so tired!”
Xiao Ruoyi weakly raised her hand and wiped the sweat off her little face.
King Jin saw Xiao Ruoyi's tired appearance and hurried forward to show concern, "Yiyi, how are you?"
Xiao Ruoyi is the emperor’s beloved daughter!
And it also concerns the future of the entire Donglin Kingdom, nothing can go wrong!
Xiao Ruoyi smiled and waved her hands, "It's okay! Don't worry, uncle, Yiyi just consumed too much energy!"
"I'm glad you're okay!"
Prince Jin couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He was completely frightened and shocked.
If Xiao Ruoyi loses even a single hair, his life will not be enough to pay for it!
I guess he will be beaten up by the ancestors of Donglin Kingdom when he goes to the underworld!
Xiao Ruoyi looked up and said, "Uncle, please send them up there quickly. It seems someone is coming!"
Prince Jin also felt it. He could sense that a group of people were about to enter the yard. It must be that servant who was going to look for the Prime Minister's wife and the others.
"Oh well!"
Prince Jin glanced at Xiao Ruoyi worriedly, but still went up with the little boy whose life was saved by Xiao Ruoyi.
After the servants saw Xiao Ruoyi and the others go down to the secret room, they hurriedly turned around to look for the old lady and Tan Hongyu.
"Madam, something's wrong with the young master!"
The servant rushed to the front hall, shouting loudly.
At this time, there were still ministers gathered in the front hall. Hearing the servants' shouting, the old lady and Tan Hongyu immediately became dissatisfied.
"How disrespectful of you to be so reckless!"
But the servants were so frightened by the worst possible consequences that they didn't notice the old lady's scolding at all.
"Master, Prince Jin and the little princess have gone to your yard!"
When Tan Hongyu heard the servant's words, he forgot where he was and exclaimed, "What? They went to my yard?"
Knowing the situation in his own yard, he subconsciously felt guilty when he heard that Prince Jin and Xiao Ruoyi had gone there.
The old lady also knew what her son had done, and her face suddenly changed color.
She never thought that the little bitch would actually go to her son's yard! Did they go there by accident, or did they know something?
The ministers around looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion and curiosity.
Why was he so flustered when he heard that Prince Jin and Xiao Ruoyi had gone to his courtyard? Was there something inhumane?
Unconsciously, these ministers couldn't help but prick up their ears and eavesdrop.
The servant nodded in panic, not daring to talk to Hong Yu, "Yes, and they also... opened the secret room under the rockery!"
"What!"
Tan Hongyu's face was filled with fear and ferocity. His legs seemed to have lost strength and he fell onto the chair.
The old lady almost fainted from suffocation, and would have fallen to the ground if it weren't for the nanny beside her supporting her.
"The secret room under the rockery?"
These key words immediately made the ministers who were watching the show even more excited.
Looking at the expressions of the old lady and Tan Hongyu, they knew that the things under this secret room might be very, very unusual.
