"Don't mention this again in the future."

Wan Ming's expression became lonely.

"A person who walks in the dark and cannot see the light is not suitable to stand with them."

"Owner, why are you doing this?!"

Han felt sorry for him during the conversation.

"Since you took over the Shadow Tower, we have only killed those who should be killed. Moreover, in recent years, assassins sent by various countries to assassinate important officials of Daqi have not succeeded thanks to our secret obstruction."

"You have never done anything to harm Daqi!"

"Even if we cooperate with Murong this time, it's because the Li family was..."

"shut up!"

Wan Ming turned around and shouted softly.

He looked out deeply, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

Then he turned around, and the moment he looked back his expression became as cold as usual.

"We can no longer use this place as a base. Take the important items with you and leave through the secret passage!"

Outside, after being rescued, several women hugged each other and cried loudly.

"Why? I just saw that she had sprained her ankle and sent her to the clinic. Why did you treat me like this?"

The woman had injured her leg on the tiger bench and was now sitting on the ground with a desperate expression on her face. Her eyes were dark without a trace of light.

Seeing her like this, several girls sobbed and told them about their experiences.

Without exception, there was despair in their eyes.

"I felt sorry for the blind woman, so I helped her find her relatives. I didn't expect she was lying to me!"

"I'm already engaged and will be getting married next month, why are you making me go through this?!"

A woman covered her face and cried bitterly.

"I was kidnapped into a brothel. My reputation has been ruined. Liu Lang won't want me anymore. My parents will definitely think that I have brought disgrace upon the family and will not let me stay at home anymore. What should I do? What's the point of living?"

The woman cried and banged her head against the wall.

But he was stopped by the officials.

"Don't be afraid!"

"It's not you who are wrong!"

Chu Yaoyao struggled to get out of her uncle's arms and walked in front of the girls.

"If you don't want to go home and have nowhere to go, you can go to the suburban welfare home first!"

"It's okay. Go to the Sweet Taste Building and work as a helper to support yourself!"

When she spoke longer sentences, she tended to be unclear, but she still spoke each word clearly, enunciating each word.

The soft and tender, yet extremely firm little voice echoed in this dark and cold night.

The women stared at her in a daze, tears silently falling from the corners of their eyes.

"Can we really?"

"sure!"

Chu Yaoyao clenched her little fist and made a cheering gesture.

"It's better to rely on yourself than on anyone else!"

This sound soothed their frightened hearts and tore apart the endless darkness before their eyes.

Just like the loud noise when the door was broken open just now.

Let them see light and hope again.

Several girls knelt on the ground, looking at the little person with pious expressions as if they were worshipping.

Chu Yaoyao sighed slightly. She was really not used to being worshipped on her knees.

"Get up first."

Yet no one moved.

"My dear benefactor, may I ask your name? I will set up a longevity tablet for you and offer sacrifices to you every day, praying to God to bless you with a safe and smooth life!"

"Yes, please tell me your name, my benefactor!"

Chu Yaoyao took a step back in fear, shaking her head and waving her hands repeatedly, with every pore of her body revealing her rejection.

【No need! 】

[I'm still alive, setting up a memorial tablet or something, it's scary to think about it, right? ]

"Live a good life in the future, and that will be your repayment."

The woman, whose clothes were torn and who was now wearing a guard's cloak, was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes when she heard these words.

"At least, please tell us your name. We always want to know who the benefactor is."

The guards around Li Wanjing puffed out their chests and raised their heads, looking proud.

"The one in front of you is Princess Qiyuan of our Great Qi Nation, the daughter of the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine, and the granddaughter of the Marquis of Zhenxi!"

Hearing this shout, Chu Yaoyao's toes almost scratched the soles of her shoes.

[How embarrassing! ]

"It's actually Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"She is General Li's granddaughter!"

"You are wrong, he is now the Marquis of Zhenxi!"

"As expected, he is the blood of the Li family. He is so chivalrous and brave at such a young age!"

Several girls kowtowed.

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness, Princess. May Her Royal Highness live long and healthy. May she live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years, a thousand thousand years!"

Chu Yaoyao helped them up one by one.

"Don't worry, I will definitely give you justice!"

“Yaoyao!”

"younger sister!"

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince also rushed over.

Finally, the prince personally ordered a thorough investigation into the trafficking of women and children in Lanyue Pavilion.

That night, the Lanyue Pavilion was sealed.

And those girls, except the two sisters, clamored to go home for revenge.

The rest went to the Welfare Institute in the suburbs of Beijing.

On the carriage back to the palace, Chu You couldn't hold back any longer as he held the soft little body in his arms, and big tears fell down his face.

Even the prince's eyes were red, and he clutched the hem of his clothes tightly, with his knuckles turning white.

"I'm sorry, Yaoyao. It's all my second brother's fault."

"It's all your brother's fault for losing you. You must be very scared, right? Are you frightened?"

When she saw him crying, Chu Yaoyao raised her chubby little hands, wiped his face, and comforted him in a baby voice.

"Don't cry, bro. I'm fine."

Hearing this, Chu You cried even harder, saying nothing and holding her tightly, refusing to let go.

The prince glared at him secretly.

Not hugged enough yet?

She brushed his arm away and held Yaoyao in her arms.

"Are you hungry? Big brother has some snacks here."

The prince's voice was a little choked up as he spoke, "It's only been a short time. You look a little thinner."

"Hiccup~"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yaoyao burped.

It tastes like braised lion's head! The prince put her down silently and let her sit down.

"hey-hey."

Chu Yaoyao covered her belly and laughed awkwardly.

I ate a meatball before going out.
