In Huafeng Palace.
Xu Qingzhi looked at Wu Lianqiao with great admiration.
A woman, suffering from an eye disease, is in the dark.
Yet they can live their lives to the fullest, in no way inferior to those women who are physically healthy but misplace their energy.
Wu Lianqiao bowed respectfully to Xu Qingzhi in gratitude.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for upholding justice for me and helping me regain my sight."
Girl.
The person you should thank is not me, but the little princess.
If it weren't for the little princess's help...
I would never have known that your eyes had been poisoned.
And the little princess.
At this very moment, he was in Xu Qingzhi's arms, playing with the golden lock.
She turned her head and glanced at Wu Lianqiao.
Wow, my aunt is really pretty!
[Uncle Xiao Nian is also a dashing young man, the two of them are really a perfect match!]
Wu Lianqiao and Ye Xiaonian both heard Ye Qianqian's inner thoughts at the same time.
His expression changed.
They exchanged a glance.
It's an unspoken understanding.
But he didn't say anything.
Xu Qingzhi also discerned something from the changing expressions on their faces.
Those were my thoughts just now.
Xu Qingzhi also heard it.
It seems so.
My younger brother and sister-in-law also joined the group listening to each other's voices.
Xu Qingzhi smiled to herself.
"Your Highness, Imperial Noble Consort—"
Xu Qingzhi interrupted them.
"Just call me Imperial Sister-in-law. Calling me 'Your Majesty' is too formal."
"Yes, sister-in-law, I will be going to the Dali Temple tomorrow. I will first go to pay my respects to my brother and talk about the matter of the fourth prince."
Xu Qingzhi nodded.
"Okay, go ahead."
...
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Regarding how to deal with Ye Ren.
Ye Ling's attitude was to handle the matter impartially.
"Xiao Nian, you don't need to avoid suspicion in this matter. Just do what you should do."
Ye Xiaonian nodded.
"Your Majesty's will be obeyed."
"Your Majesty, there is another case that is now quite troublesome."
"Oh?" Ye Ling asked.
"You haven't even officially entered the Dali Temple yet, but you've already started handling cases."
"I have not seen the case files, but I have heard from the people that the number of missing babies has increased dramatically recently."
"The oldest is no more than 10 years old, and the youngest is no more than a newborn baby."
"The Dali Temple has been investigating this case, but has no leads whatsoever."
Ye Ling nodded.
What are your thoughts on this?
"I believe this case was not committed by a lone individual, but by a gang."
"Right now, the only way to break through this gang is to uncover the mastermind behind it."
Ye Ling nodded.
"Your idea is excellent. Here's what we'll do: you don't need to report to the Dali Temple tomorrow. Go there today, take a look at the case files, and see if there's any breakthrough!"
Ye Xiaonian nodded.
"My lord, I obey the order."
Before leaving the palace.
Xu Qingzhi saw Wu Lianqiao off, and Ye Xiaonian arrived at the palace gate.
Xu Qingzhi asked them a question.
"Have you two heard the little princess's heartfelt words?"
Ye Xiaonian and Wu Lianqiao nodded.
"Sister-in-law, could it be that you too—"
Xu Qingzhi nodded.
"I can hear it too."
"Lianqiao, the reason your eyesight has been restored is not due to my efforts, but rather to the little princess's help."
Wu Lianqiao was taken aback.
Xu Qingzhi then told her the little princess's true identity and how she had taken action after hearing her inner voice.
Wu Lianqiao was very shocked.
"In that case, the little princess is truly a lucky star for the Great Yuan!"
"Yes, but there is one thing you must keep secret. You must not tell the little princess that you can hear her thoughts."
"Otherwise, I'm worried I might frighten the little princess."
"I'm also worried that the little princess won't dare to think about anything in the future."
Wu Lianqiao and Ye Xiaonian nodded.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. When we heard the little princess's thoughts at Huafeng Palace, we didn't make a fuss, for fear of startling her and Your Majesty."
"Alright! Then you can go back now, but be careful on the way."
"Um."
...
Ye Xiaonian went to Dali Temple.
They began reviewing the case files of the missing infants.
Wu Ying has also been troubled by this matter lately.
"Based on the clues provided by the person who reported the case, the time when the baby went missing is uncertain."
“It happens every hour, and it leaves no clues, which makes it very difficult for us to solve the case.”
"To this day, no family has ever seen the thief's face clearly when their baby was stolen, not even just a glimpse of his back, and yet the child was taken away without anyone noticing."
Ye Xiaonian thought for a moment.
"This person, or this gang, must have someone with exceptional lightness skills."
Wu Ying nodded.
"It could be one gang, or it could be two different gangs."
"Because the times when babies are lost sometimes overlap, it is impossible for one person to steal babies in different places at the same time."
"Now, the entire city of Dayuan is filled with fear. Many women who are about to give birth are worried that their babies will be stolen after they are born, and families with infants are also worried that their children will be lost if they are not careful!"
“Recently, that gang has even extended their reach into the academy. Yesterday, a child was studying diligently at the academy, but the next second, he disappeared!”
"The academy is now preparing to suspend classes."
“If this continues, the children of my Great Yuan will be confined to their homes every day and will not be allowed to go out. In the long run, they will not be able to study and how will they realize their ambitions?”
