Su Ruojin took the small scroll of paper and opened it. It read: The child is at Tianning Temple.
Why is it Tianning Temple again? Zhao Jingning said before that she also fell into a coma at Tianning Temple for a period of time.
Before Su Ruojin could ask, Yun Hao took the initiative to say, "I heard that the princess is looking for a child. I am from Yunqi, so it is naturally easier for me to find someone than for the princess. Here is the whereabouts of that child."
Tianning Temple is within the territory of my eldest brother, so it's inconvenient for me to intervene directly. I believe that with the princess's abilities, rescuing a child shouldn't be a problem.
The Zhao family made quite a fuss about finding someone, so it wasn't surprising that Su Ruojin knew about it.
"Second Prince, I have not yet agreed to cooperate with you," Su Ruojin said, putting away the small scroll of paper.
“Princess, you can take your time to consider it. Whether you agree or not is fine. It’s best to rescue the person first.” Yun Hao didn’t care. “Princess, you came to the Siyi Gambling House today to lure me out. You must have other needs. Please speak freely. As long as I can do it, I will do my best to cooperate.”

Su Ruojin remained silent after leaving the gambling den.
Yanluo was a little anxious. As a servant, she couldn't interrupt when her mistress was talking to the Second Prince.
She understood every word her young mistress and the second prince were saying, but when put together, she felt like they were talking in riddles, and she couldn't quite figure out what they were saying.
"Miss, what exactly does the Second Prince mean?"
What's the meaning?
Wise people always know when to stop speaking.
Yun Hao's words were tantamount to telling Su Ruojin directly that he would be vying for that position.
Based on Su Ruojin's previous understanding of this second prince of Yunqi, he had always been a low-key person, and because of his missing fingers, no one had ever considered him as a potential future crown prince.
It is precisely this understanding that allows him to remain hidden in the shadows.
But how could someone who cuts off their own little finger to save their life be an ordinary person?
He actually laid bare his ambitions right in front of me today. Isn't he afraid I'll sell him out?
Yun Hao said he believed in her because of Xiao Yanchu. Was his confidence in Xiao Yanchu, or in his own judgment of people?
Although no one with missing fingers had ever ascended the throne before, that was in the past.
Who can guarantee that something that hasn't happened before won't happen in the future?
Su Ruojin couldn't quite figure out this Second Prince of Yunqi.
She found herself missing Xiao Yanchu; if he were here, he might be able to give her some advice about Yun Hao.
The moment the thought crossed her mind, Su Ruojin suddenly realized when she had started to rely on someone.
In the past, no matter what happened, her first reaction was always to find a solution herself, rather than to consult with others.
Su Ruojin couldn't help but smile bitterly. Sigh, she was still poisoned by Xiao Yanchu.
"Miss?" Yanluo called out softly when she saw that her mistress hadn't spoken.
"Let's go to Tianning Temple and save Yingzi first."
Su Ruojin didn't know how to explain anything to Yan Luo. Just as Yun Hao said, whether or not to cooperate could be discussed later; the most urgent task was to rescue the child.
"What about Consort Zhao..." Yanluo was worried that Zhao Jingyi would attack her mistress again.
Su Ruojin wasn't in a hurry. "She didn't succeed in her first move, so she won't make any moves for now. It's not too late to talk about it after we rescue Yingzi."
She had already gotten what she wanted from Yun Hao—just Zhao Jingyi; she would deal with her slowly.
Upon learning that Su Ruojin was going to Tianning Temple, Zhao Jingning was worried and insisted on going with her, saying, "Sister Jin, I'll go with you so I can help you if anything happens."
Zhao Guangtao agreed, "Xiao Jin, you're not familiar with Yun Qi, so I'll feel more at ease if Ning'er goes with you. Don't worry about me and your grandmother. I'm almost fully recovered now. With me here, no one in the Zhao family will dare to cause trouble."
Su Ruojin thought about it and agreed.
