The move was too sudden and it was a last-minute decision, which resulted in King Jin not bringing his own people with him and could only rely on Xiao Ruoyi.
Xiao Ruoyi nodded her head, "Uncles, come out!"
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..." With a few sounds, four figures landed in the courtyard and stood in the four directions of the old lady and Tan Hongyu.
The four secret guards only revealed a pair of cold and bloodthirsty eyes like hawks. Tan Hongyu couldn't help but shiver. He no longer had any emotions of anger and hatred. He unconsciously moved his body towards the old lady.
It seems that I am only safe when I am with the old lady.
"hiss!"
All the ministers couldn't help but secretly gasp.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Donglin sent more than one secret guard to protect the little princess. How much he dotes on her!
Prince Jin shook his head helplessly. Although he had heard his royal brother say that he would send secret guards to protect Xiao Ruoyi, he did not expect that he would send not just one or two but so many.
However, considering her abilities, it doesn't seem so strange!
...
...
When Huo Jingzhou and the others saw that Xiao Ruoyi and the others really helped them and even went to call the Jingzhao prefect, they were all extremely excited.
So, everyone knelt on the ground to thank Xiao Ruoyi, "Thank you, little princess!"
"Everyone, stop kneeling!"
Xiao Ruoyi didn't expect these children to kneel down in front of her together, so she hurried forward to support them.
"We were saved because of the little princess!"
"Yes, little princess is willing to do justice for us. You are the little fairy in my heart!"
"Little princess, if it weren't for you, I would have died long ago. You are my savior!"
Everyone was reluctant to get up, and looked at Xiao Ruoyi with deep gratitude.
Facing these stubborn children, Xiao Ruoyi was at a loss, [Ah, are they all so stubborn? ]
King Jin couldn't help laughing when he saw Xiao Ruoyi's appearance, but he still kindly stepped forward to persuade her.
"You are all still injured. Don't kneel down to avoid aggravating the injury by pulling the wound!"
Xiao Ruoyi nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, you are still injured! You must let the doctor treat you immediately!"
Prince Jin also quickly responded and turned to instruct the servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Call a doctor! Let the doctor come and check on these children!"
Although Xiao Ruoyi is here, some other children still need to be checked by a doctor.
"yes!"
The prime minister was still in a coma. There were not only ordinary doctors but also imperial doctors in the mansion, who quickly came to help the injured children treat their wounds.
As soon as the doctors and imperial physicians arrived, Xiao Ruoyi hurried to help and apply medicine to the children.
"Big brother, Yiyi is here to apply medicine for you!" Xiao Ruoyi ran to Huo Jingzhou with the golden wound medicine, and said in a baby voice.
Huo Jingzhou nodded, his eyes full of admiration and pampering, "Thank you, little princess!"
"Hehehe, of course!" Xiao Ruoyi showed a sweet and adorable smile, which immediately melted and warmed Huo Jingzhou's heart.
No matter how painful the injuries on his body were, Huo Jingzhou didn't feel any pain at all.
Emperor Donglin's secret guards went to invite Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Yan Yu in person. Jingzhao Prefecture Governor naturally did not dare to neglect him and immediately brought his men to the Prime Minister's Residence.
As soon as he arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, he went straight to the courtyard.
Glancing at the people in the courtyard, the prefect of Jingzhao immediately saluted the Prince of Jin and Xiao Ruoyi, "Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin and the little princess!"
King Jin nodded and pointed at the miserable children. "You should know why I called you here, right?"
"I know! The secret guards have already told me along the way!"
Prince Jin snorted coldly and questioned the Jingzhao prefect, "Since you have said that, does Lord Yan have nothing to say?"
The prefect of Jingzhao was startled, for he knew that the Prince of Jin was planning to settle the score later.
This matter was also his fault, so he immediately knelt down and admitted his fault, "I am guilty!"
The prefect of Jingzhao secretly sighed and felt guilty. With such a serious matter as the loss of a child, it was inevitable that people would report to the authorities and look for the child.
However, whether they found it or not, there was some evidence proving that this matter might involve the Prime Minister's Mansion, so the prefect of Jingzhao was a little hesitant for a while.
I just didn’t expect that seeing so many children today would further confirm my guess.
Now, all of this has been discovered by Prince Jin and the little princess, and even if the prime minister is now at the peak of his power, he cannot change the outcome.
"Humph, you were negligent in this matter. I will report this to my brother!"
Xiao Ruoyi sighed helplessly in her heart, [Alas, this Jingzhao prefect is a loyal minister! I can't let him be implicated because of this matter! ]
It turns out that my brother is right. If we want to judge which ministers are loyal, we have to rely on my little niece!
The Prince of Jin looked at the Prefect of Jingzhao with admiration. His niece said that he was a loyal minister, so he was a loyal minister.
Loyal ministers cannot be implicated, and this matter still needs to be discussed with my brother the Emperor. Not only should the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture not be guilty, he should be given more power!
"Yes, I will also report to the Emperor at this time!"
Xiao Ruoyi immediately comforted the Jingzhao prefect in a baby voice, "Uncle, don't worry! Yiyi knows that you are a good person and loyal to daddy. Yiyi will say good things to you and will not let daddy punish you!"
The prefect of Jingzhao looked up at Xiao Ruoyi in surprise. He didn't expect that the little princess would speak for him!
What was even more unexpected was that the little princess actually believed that he was a loyal minister!
He had also heard the recent rumors, and Emperor Donglin would believe whatever the little princess said.
As long as the little princess is talking about good people and loyal ministers, they will be valued by Emperor Donglin.
Jingzhao Prefecture Yin's eyes suddenly turned red with gratitude, "Thank you, little princess!"
Xiao Ruoyi smiled and waved her hands, comforting in a childish voice, "It's okay, it's okay. This is what Yiyi should do! Uncle, you must be loyal to Daddy and assist Daddy in the future!"
"Yes! I swear to be loyal to the emperor till death!"
Even without the little princess telling him, the prefect of Jingzhao thought so.
King Jin looked at Xiao Naituan who was giving out the good guy card again with a helpless look. She was the good guy!
However, this was also what Emperor Donglin and he agreed with.
Only in this way can Xiao Ruoyi's status among officials and the people be improved, which will be a hundred benefits and no harm to Xiao Ruoyi.
"Yeah! Uncle, you have to take care of them! Don't let the bad guys go!" Xiao Ruoyi pointed at Huo Jingzhou and the others and glared at the old prime minister's wife and Tan Hongyu.
Prince Jin also added, "Yes, when I arrived just now, several children were on the verge of death. If it weren't for Yiyi, they would not have survived until now! So, I guess that many children must have died before this. You have to find out how many children Tan Hongyu killed and where they are now!"
