"Oh, my eyes!"
The plump auntie suddenly let go, and Yun Duoduo seized the opportunity to grab the plump auntie's thick waist, sliding steadily to the ground.
"I didn't want to hold it against you after I ate your sweet cakes, but you're so mean!" Yun Duoduo said angrily.
"I never imagined you'd kidnap so many children!"
"My motto as Yun Duoduo is: when you encounter bad people, you must not show mercy!"
Yun Duoduo watched with a grin as the two of them rolled on the ground in pain, quite pleased with her handiwork.
What kind of mischief could a kitten possibly have?
The plump woman and two burly men clutched the areas of their bodies that had been stained with the poison powder, crying out, "It hurts so much..."
"You brat, what is this? Why does it hurt so much? I can't take it!"
Yun Duoduo clapped her hands in satisfaction and smiled brightly, "Hehe, Uncle and Aunt, this is my newly developed poison! Oh, by the way, Zhuangzhuang also contributed!"
"This poison is called 'Flowers Bloom for Ten Miles'!"
This poison smells very good; you can smell it from ten miles away.
She remembered that when they were tinkering with poison at Fu Shuang Palace, Jin Zhuangzhuang was the most enthusiastic.
The two were filled with regret; they had let their guard down against this little devil with the face of an angel and the heart of a devil...
"So, do you like the gifts I gave you?" Yun Duoduo asked with a smug look on her face.
I'm so talented! I made this toxic product so well, even the name is so nice.
"Sixth Brother, go quickly and call for help!"
The plump woman covered her eyes and shouted upwards.
[Sixth brother? Oh, right.]
Oh no, I was too hasty! I couldn't let that sixth brother get away!
Yun Duoduo was just basking in her triumph when she heard the fat aunt's words and realized something was wrong. She hurriedly ran upstairs to stop the sixth man from calling for help.
"Don't go, the poison in our bodies..."
The burly man, who had just looked fierce, was now sweating profusely from the pain and gradually losing his ability to speak.
He reached out his hand, as if trying to grab Yun Duoduo to give him the antidote.
The poison in your bodies? Hmph!
[You choose the path to heaven but refuse to take it, while forsaking the gates to hell you find yourself on the side of ease.]
Who told you to do bad things and bully this princess?!
"You still want the antidote? You'll feel the pain then!"
Yun Duoduo looked at the children in the corner, leaned down and whispered in their ears, "I'll call someone to rescue you. Be careful, don't listen to the bad guys, and don't believe their lies. You must escape!"
After saying that, she quickly moved her two not-so-long legs, and with the help of the half-baked wall-climbing skills she had learned from her grandmother in the palace, she finally caught up with the sixth prince.
"Monster, where do you think you're going?!"
Yun Duoduo imitated Sun Wukong using his golden cudgel to fight monsters. She jumped up and waved her little hand, sprinkling poison on the sixth man.
The sixth man suddenly stopped, grimacing as he endured the excruciating pain.
"Ahhh!"
Yun Duoduo quickened her pace, clapped her little hands, and behind her came a melodious scream.
This poison will keep them in agony for three days and three nights. There will be plenty of time for the Emperor to send people to rescue these children.
Three days and three nights, until the wee hours of the morning, the dancing never stops...
Three days and three nights, in the dead of night, my whole body was covered in sweat...
As Yun Duoduo hummed a little tune, she followed the marks she had made in the woods, emerging from the desolate, snow-covered forest and navigating a rugged mountain path before finally spotting a winding official road.
[If you follow this official road, you should be able to find Tianxiang Tower.]
[Good haul today, we discovered the human traffickers' hideout.]
[If we follow the clues, we should be able to bring this entire criminal gang to justice!]
...
Yun Duoduo was parched from running. She kept asking questions as she ran, and finally reached Chang'an Street. In the distance, she saw her father, Emperor Yun Beiye, and her third brother, Emperor Yun Yishu, pacing back and forth in front of Tianxiang Tower.
"Father! Third Brother!"
Yun Duoduo shouted at the top of her lungs, trying to stop them from worrying about her.
Upon hearing the sound, Yun Beiye and Yun Yishu turned around abruptly. Yun Beiye strode over to Yun Duoduo and hugged her tightly. "Duoduo, you scared your father so much!" Yun Beiye said anxiously.
"How are you? Are you alright?" Yun Beiye looked Yun Duoduo up and down carefully.
When Zhao Zhongquan saw Yun Duoduo, he showed a relieved expression and said happily, "That's great, little princess. You're lucky to be back safe and sound."
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're alright."
Yun Duoduo was covered in sweat and her face was flushed. She gasped for breath and said, "Father, the village! There are child traffickers in the village! There are human traffickers!"
"Uh, they're human traffickers. They kidnapped four- or five-year-old children and put them in the basement of a thatched hut, saying they were going to sell them." Yun Duoduo gestured with her hands as she spoke, sounding very anxious.
"Father, hurry, hurry, send people to rescue those children."
Yun Duoduo's throat was very dry, as if it were on fire, and her legs were also very sore and weak. After saying these words, she was even more out of breath.
Yun Yishu handed her a teapot.
Yun Duoduo picked up the teapot and poured water down her throat.
"Drink slowly," Yun Yishu said, looking at Yun Duoduo with concern.
"Quickly, bring me a clean set of shoes, socks, and clothes."
Yun Yishu noticed that Yun Duoduo's embroidered shoes were wet, probably because she had walked in the snow for too long and the shoes were soaked by snow water. Her clothes were also torn in many places by tree branches.
Her face was covered in patches of black and gray, and she looked very tired. Her hair was messy and had some fallen, withered branches on it.
Yun Duoduo smiled at Yun Yishu, indicating that he shouldn't worry.
"Human slave trader?"
"Your Majesty, this matter..." Zhao Zhongquan was also greatly surprised when he heard Yun Duoduo say that there were human traffickers openly abducting and selling children in the capital.
[This is the capital city! How can there be child trafficking right under the walls of the capital?!]
I'm so tired of living.
"Immediately go to the garrison commander of the capital and have him lead men to rescue those children," Yun Beiye said in a deep voice.
"Also, carefully check the surroundings, arrest the human traffickers as well, and see if there are any accomplices. Remember, they must be alive."
"Make sure the capital's defenses are ready before making a move. Don't alert them. Once we've started, we must wipe them out completely, leaving no survivors!"
"The child must be rescued quickly."
Yun Beiye's face was somber. He was both angry and remorseful that such a thing had happened right under the emperor's nose.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Yun Duoduo told Zhao Zhongquan the location of the human traffickers and how to get through the woods. Zhao Zhongquan then went to find the garrison commander of the capital.
Watching Zhao Zhongquan's departing figure, Yun Duoduo suddenly remembered something. She tilted her head back, strained her neck, and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Bring back my gold hairpin, gold bracelet, and little purse too!"
