Ye Peizhu chuckled, "It seems my intuition is quite accurate. Your Highness, please send someone to talk to An'er Zhuo'er. No matter what they decide, Your Highness, please send someone back to tell me."
"Okay, don't worry, ma'am."
King Kang patted his wife's hand soothingly and strode away.
Ye Peizhu returned to the inner room and sat there for a long time watching over her sleeping daughter. She learned from the guards who came that Song Le'an and Dong Zhuo were willing to take risks and take advantage of the situation.
She was not surprised and felt that it was as she expected.
An'er and Zhuo'er have never been timid children.
Hopefully this time everything goes smoothly.
On the other side, Song Le'an and Dong Zhuo looked unhappy when they learned from the guards what they were about to encounter that night.
Song Le'an didn't think much about it. He just thought that this was probably something his father's secret guards had investigated. He didn't think that his parents found out about this after hearing his sister's thoughts.
Song Le'an decided to take advantage of the situation, but he didn't want to force Dong Zhuo to go with him.
"Azhuo, if you don't want to..."
"Of course I do! Ah Le, I said I would stick with you.
Whatever you choose, I will make the same choice as you.
Besides, I've put myself in danger before, and if we're both captured, it means we can look after each other. I'll protect you."
Dong Zhuo interrupted Song Le'an and spoke in a firm tone.
Song Le'an was touched, "Okay! I will protect you too!"
Dong Zhuo learned the general plan from the guards and continued to study.
Song Le'an stayed to learn about the details of the plan.
Since they want to take advantage of the situation, then naturally everything must go according to their original plan.
As night fell, the teacher who kept Song Le'an in the hall finally agreed to let him go.
Song Le'an dragged his heavy feet towards Dong Zhuo who had been sitting by the flower bed waiting for him.
"Azhuo, let's go shopping. Let's buy some food first and then some toys for my sister."
"Okay, can you still walk? How about I carry you?"
Dong Zhuo stood up and glanced at Song Le'an's tired look. After saying that, he walked up to Song Le'an and bent down with his back to him.
Song Le'an kicked Dong Zhuo lightly, feeling both amused and helpless, "I'm not that weak, of course I can walk, hurry up and don't dawdle.
It's getting late, let's go fill our bellies first so we have the energy to do other things."
Dong Zhuo straightened up, "Yeah."
The two walked to the street and bought some food to fill their stomachs.
The two men recalled what the guard said about them being caught by bad guys at the alley entrance, and deliberately avoided any alley entrance they might pass through.
After successfully buying a small toy for his sister, Song Le'an looked at Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo understood what was going on, and the two of them walked towards the entrance of an alley in tacit understanding.
When passing through an alley, Song Le'an and Dong Zhuoru were caught by people who had been hiding in the alley in advance, just as the guard who told them the story said!
Song Le'an's eyes went dark. Someone put a sack over his head and carried him on his shoulders.
After a bumpy ride, Song Le'an heard the noise and music around him.
He remembered the guards saying that they would be taken to the peaceful place of Bolefang by the bad guys.
The Land of Tenderness... He had heard of it, it was almost a brothel.
But there are not only prostitutes here, but also young men.
Could it be that these criminals brought him and Azhu here just to make them prostitutes?!
Thinking of this possibility, Song Le'an gritted his teeth, feeling both ashamed and angry.
How abominable!
This is simply trampling on the face of their Prince Kang's Mansion!
"Have you brought people?"
A shrill, eunuch-like voice came to Song Le'an's ears.
He tried his best to calm down and listened attentively to the voices outside.
"I brought them here, Daddy. I've been eyeing these two for a while. They have delicate skin and tender flesh, the type many customers like.
But from what I saw, they seemed to be studying in the Imperial Academy, and those who could study in the Imperial Academy were either rich or noble.
I'm a little unsure if I can let these two stay here, or if it would be safer to send them somewhere else?"
The other man's voice sounded flattering.
The eunuch groaned, "Precisely because he is the son of a wealthy or noble man, his skin and flesh are even more delicate.
If you are afraid, then just send these two away from the capital, so that if they are discovered, they won't bring trouble to our entire gentle land!"
"Okay, Daddy, I'll lock these two up in the house first, and then I'll send them away once I've made all the arrangements."
"Well, go ahead. I also need to go check out another batch of goods. I heard they were just delivered from the farm. They're all very fresh."
"Dad, I remember that we already have a lot of goods in stock in the farm. It's been a long time. What if the goods delivered are not fresh?
We still need to find something fresh, or should I ask the brothers to go outside the capital to look for fresh goods?"
"No, there aren't many goods left in the farm. I heard that the government has been searching everywhere recently, and everyone is preparing to move. It's just right that we can move some of the remaining goods here first.
Okay, lock these two up in the house first."
After the eunuch finished speaking, footsteps were heard coming from near and far away.
Song Le'an's heart was pounding, knowing that he had heard something important.
Then he felt someone grabbing the back of his collar and dragging him to the ground.
After turning left and right, Song Le'an was thrown to the ground and the sound of the door closing was heard.
The room fell into silence, but the noise outside continued.
Song Le'an waited for a while and moved. He took out a small pocket dagger given to him by the guard from his sleeves with his hands tied in front of him and cut the rope tied around his wrists neatly.
He took off the sack on his head and finally saw the whole picture of the house.
Just one glance made him a little frightened.
He originally thought that he and Azhu were the only ones in the room, but besides the two of them, there were more than ten boys and girls!
Without exception, they all had sacks put on their heads and their hands and feet were tied up.
It was unclear whether they were asleep or unconscious; they were all lying or sprawled on the ground.
Song Le'an didn't dare to make a sound. He recognized Dong Zhuo's clothes, went over to untie Dong Zhuo, and helped him take off the sack on his head.
Dong Zhuo also saw the other people tied up in the room and frowned.
"Azhuo, let's find a way to sneak out first and see what's going on in the Land of Gentleness."
Song Le'an whispered in Dong Zhuo's ear.
"But if we show our faces outside, we'll be discovered, and the door of this room is probably locked!"
