"Master Qingran, Princess Fu'an is here."

As he said this, he carried Xiao Ruyu in his arms and brought her in front of Master Qingran.

"Someone will come to pick her up in half an incense stick. Just leave her here."

The man said respectfully, "Yes."

The look he gave Master Qingran was impure, and Xiao Ruyu secretly complained in her heart.

It seems that these two people have known each other for many years. They are probably engaged in human trafficking together and have done such an unjust thing.

Aren’t you afraid of falling into hell in the future!

"Master Qingran, this child is not even a month old yet, why bother selling him? It would be better to just strangle him to death."

Master Qingran glanced at the man coldly, "Chen Hu, it's not your turn to interfere in my affairs. Just follow my instructions. Aren't you afraid of being blamed by your master?"

Chen Hu naturally didn't say anything. After all, he could earn several hundred taels of silver by completing this deal, so why not do it.

He turned around and left, in a very good mood. He planned to go to the tavern to have a drink, and then go to Qinlou to find two good-looking girls to accompany him for a drink.

Taoist Qingran looked at Xiao Ruyu with a complicated expression, reached out his hand to strangle Xiao Ruyu to death, but finally withdrew his hand.

There were many babies around Xiao Ruyu, most of them were quiet, as if they had been drugged.

Maybe most of the children here are weak, so there are not many people guarding them.

Xiao Ruyu sighed, her tone worried.

[Who would have thought that there were many abducted children hiding behind the kitchen of Yuqing Temple? I don’t know if my brothers can find me.]

[My little princess, I won’t be retrained today, will I?]

Unfortunately, her spiritual power was not enough to allow her to escape. Xiao Ruyu was a little worried, wondering when her spiritual power could be improved.

The eldest prince, who had rushed to Yuqing Temple and was at a loss and acting cautiously, heard Xiao Ruyu's thoughts and immediately understood where to go to save her.

He had been to Yuqing Temple quite a few times. The one who raised him was Concubine De, who was in poor health and had been bedridden for a long time.

On weekdays when the Grand Tutor was not teaching, he would come to Yuqing Temple to pray for Concubine De, so he was of course familiar with this place.

However, I have always been in awe of the situation, but I never expected that there were so many dirty things hidden in Yuqing Temple.

Xiao Ru'an avoided the crowd and stepped into the kitchen carefully, and indeed saw Xiao Ruyu.

She was lying obediently in the cradle, and when she saw Xiao Ru'an's appearance, she was not surprised at all.

[Big brother, run quickly, the mastermind behind this and the person who kidnapped me are here! ]

Xiao Ru'an hugged Xiao Ruyu and ran away. Although he moved very fast, he was not familiar with the kitchen and was soon surrounded by people.

Chen Hu grabbed Xiao Ruyu and threw her to the nun of Yuqing Temple, then mercilessly kicked Xiao Ru'an away.

The thugs around him took the opportunity to punch and kick him. Xiao Ru'an was beaten to death by the human traffickers, but he was still concerned about Xiao Ruyu's safety.

"Do you know who she is? If the prefectural government knew about this, they would never let you off easily! Such a pure place, yet you secretly did such a thing!"

The person behind Chen Hu is a powerful person, and Xiao Ru'an's words could not threaten him, but instead made him want to kill him.

"So, you have no chance to leave here. Now that you know the biggest secret of Yuqing Temple, can... you still be allowed to stay..."

He punched and kicked Xiao Ru'an. The thugs around him knew best where the pain was on his body. Xiao Ru'an was unable to dodge and was beaten to death, but he muttered to himself in self-blame.

"Sister, it's my fault that I didn't protect you."

Xiao Ruyu had complicated emotions. Xiao Ru'an actually risked his life for him, but in the original book, Xiao Ru'an and he were not close.

This is a friendship of life and death.

Chen Hu lost his patience, took out a sharp dagger and stabbed it towards Xiao Ru'an's chest. At this moment, the back door of Yuqing Temple was kicked open by someone.

The dagger that was supposed to pierce Xiao Ru'an's chest was eventually knocked away by someone, but Xiao Ru'an still lost too much blood and passed out.

The Duan brothers and Eleven came with the imperial troops, and the crowd surrounded the Yuqing Temple so tightly that no one could get in or out.

Lord Lin, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, was originally trying a case in the yamen when the Duan brothers went to report the case. When he learned that the eldest prince and the little princess were in trouble, he almost fainted.

Fortunately, the little princess was safe, but the eldest prince was seriously injured.

Lord Lin's men captured Chen Hu, and Yuqing Temple was also sealed off.

Eleven walked to Xiao Ruyu's side with lingering fear and hugged her tightly in his arms. His eyes were slightly red and he secretly swore in his heart that he would never let the princess fall into danger again.

Today, he failed in his duty as a personal guard.

Duan Yiheng said to Lord Lin in a condescending manner, "Leave the matter here to you, Lord. The eldest prince is seriously injured, we have to go to the infirmary."

Lord Lin was flattered and said, "Sir, what you said is serious. It is my fault. I will give you and all the people in the capital an explanation for this matter."

Duan Yiheng nodded slightly, and quickly helped Xiao Ru'an into the carriage with his brother.

After Eleven carried Xiao Ruyu into the carriage, the group left.

Duan Yiling felt very annoyed when he thought about what happened in Zui Xiang Lou. He originally went to the toilet, but he didn't know who stole the toilet paper, so he had to borrow toilet paper for a long time.

When I returned to the private room after the problem was solved, I saw Eleven fainted on the ground, and the little princess and the prince were gone.

Later, when they were tracking him, they saw the eldest prince's jade pendant and blood letter in the hands of a mother-in-law.

Only then did they realize that someone had deliberately kidnapped the little princess, and the person behind the scenes was related to Yuqing Temple.

After a cup of tea, Xiao Ru'an was taken to the clinic. There were not many people seeing the doctor at that time, and the doctor soon came to clean Xiao Ru'an's wound.

Xiao Ru'an is in a coma now, Duan Yiling said worriedly.

"Doctor, is he seriously injured?"

The doctor sighed, "He was not in good health to begin with, and the wounds on his body are quite severe. He needs to be well nursed back to health. He will have to stay in bed for the next two months."

Duan Yiheng nodded, "Thank you, doctor. We understand."

The doctor cleaned Xiao Ru'an's wound, and it was two hours later when Xiao Ru'an's complexion almost recovered.

The two of them didn't know that the capital city was now being turned upside down by the Imperial Guards.

When Queen Duan learned that her daughter and eldest prince were missing, she almost fainted from anxiety.

She forced herself to leave the palace, and under the guidance of Lord Lin, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, she finally saw Xiao Ruyu who was soundly sleeping.

She held her daughter in her arms, and the feeling of regaining what she had lost was finally calmed down.

Fortunately, her daughter was fine, otherwise she would not be able to forgive herself.

Duan Yiling and Duan Yiheng looked at each other, then knelt down in front of Queen Duan, "Aunt, it's my fault for not taking good care of my sister. Please punish me."

Queen Duan shook her head, "It's not your fault, but you must be careful in the future. You don't even have the ability to protect yourselves, so it's better to bring a personal attendant with you when you go out."
