Don't be afraid, we are here to get you out. Qing Cang saw that some of them were so frightened that they wanted to run away, so he hurriedly reassured them, these children are still so young, they look pitiful, not to mention the fifth princess, even a big man like him can't help but feel a little sad when he sees it.

Those children were a little scared at first, but slowly they all calmed down a lot, and one of them, a boy who looked relatively thin, looked at Xie Chuyao and asked, "Are you really here to save us?" Who are you? ”

He really didn't dare to hope anymore, he had been trapped in this place for a few years, and he had long since lost the image of his home and his parents, and now in his memory, the most frequent occurrences were beatings, scolding, and bullying.

Xie Chuyao nodded and looked at him and said, "Yes, we are here to save you." As she spoke, she nodded to Qing Cang, and saw him step forward and quickly untie the children's bodies.

As soon as the children were liberated, they happily gathered around her, some looking up at her, others whispering to the side.

"Beautiful sister, you are so good-looking, I want to go home, can you take me home?" A little boy with a dimple asked as he tugged at the corner of her skirt, his dirty little face full of longing.

Xie Chuyao saw his expectant look, her heart softened suddenly, she squatted down, gently stroked his head with one hand and said, "Okay, sister will take you home, and you will do the same, and come with sister, sister will send you all back to her own house." ”

"yes, great, great, big sister, can we really go home?" The children cheered, their eyes filled with hope again.

"Don't be deceived by her, maybe she's just like that black-hearted king, she just wants to lock us all up, maybe she wants to sell us somewhere else, don't trust her easily!" The boy who had been standing in the corner watching them coldly yelled angrily at the other children.

As soon as he said this, the other children calmed down again, and they began to take two steps back in disbelief, and hung their heads to stop interacting with her, it seemed that this child was the eldest among them.

When Xie Chuyao saw them like this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a human trafficker, I won't sell you anymore, I won't trap you anymore, I just want to bring you back to your parents." ”

"You lie, we've been sold for several years, and our parents don't remember us for a long time, how can you still help us find them?" The cold boy stared at her fiercely, his eyes full of distrust.

When she heard this, she slowly walked to his side and looked at him and said, "Just because I am the fifth princess of the Jin Kingdom, even if it takes a lot of time, I will send you to your parents!" ”

Her serious eyes made him unable to refute anymore, he just lowered his head and kept clasping his fingers, the nervous and uneasy look fell into her eyes, and she couldn't help but be a little puzzled, when the other children heard that they could find their parents and go home, they were very excited and happy, but why did he react so differently?

Seeing that he no longer contradicted her words, she stood up, then looked at the other children and said, "It's useless for you to stay here, Wang Yuanwai has been arrested, and this village will be abandoned in the future, so you better leave here with me." ”

After speaking, she hugged Xiaobao and left directly, the children glanced at each other and followed, the boy who was standing in the corner was very cool, and bit his lip in a hurry when he saw his little friends gone, but he didn't move his feet, and the feeling of wanting to keep up and restraining himself was very distressing.

Qing Cang came to his side, squatted down and looked at him and asked, "Why don't you follow?" The other children had gone out, and he was alone by the wall, looking out pitifully, wanting to go and not knowing why.

The boy glanced at him, then lowered his head and did not speak, his hands wringing in front of him, looking a little nervous and hurried.

"Are you afraid you won't find your home?" Qing Cang's voice was a little softer, not wanting to scare him because of himself.

The boy looked up at him sharply, then lowered his head again for a long time before he said, "I don't remember the way home, and besides, my mother and my father probably don't want me to go back." I don't know if he remembered something, his eyes were filled with tears.

"Silly child, what parent doesn't love their child? Don't overthink it, we'll help you find your way home. Qing Cang gently took his hand and soothed.

The boy shook his head, shook off his hand and said, "They don't like me at all, there are seven brothers and sisters in the family, my mother always says that we are all debt collectors, and besides, my father will only scold us, they don't like me at all, and whatever I go back to do, I can only be sold again." There was some stubbornness in the child's eyes, he didn't want to go back, he didn't want to be sold again.

Qing Cang's heart was heavy, and he pulled out a smile and said, "It's okay, even if you don't go home, you can leave here with us first, okay?" You're in danger here alone. "This village is a bit biased, few people walk on weekdays, if he stays here with a child, what can he do if he encounters a bad person?

"Don't, I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving!" The boy suddenly insisted on staying there and refused to move.

"If your father doesn't want you, can you come to the barracks to do rough work?" Qing Cang pondered for a while, and finally asked out loud.

Barrack? That's where the war was fought? He was a little scared in his heart, and asked a little yearning: "I, can I really do it?" The tone was a little cautious.

Qing Cang touched his skull affirmatively and said, "Yes, as long as you want." As he spoke, he held out his hand to him again, and then looked at him earnestly.

The boy stared at his hand for a long time, and at last put his little hand on his, and let him lead him away from the place that disgusted him.

Xie Chuyao and Qing Cang gathered these children together, together with a total of fifteen children held by those slaves, the oldest of them was only twelve years old, and the youngest was only five or six years old, and they all looked at them with a face that was a little expectant, a little nervous, and a little numb.

Shang Jing asked the secret guard to find Li Wang, who was investigating some human trafficking cases recently, and he might be able to help them find their homes.

Li Wang was stunned when he came here, he didn't expect that there were so many children hidden here, although this village is remote, but it is still within the scope of Kyoto, so blatantly doing bad things, these people are really terrible.

"You take these children back to Dali Temple first, and then send people to find the parents of these children." Shang Jingcheng looked at Li Wang and ordered. These children were all abducted and trafficked, after all, they are still young, some memories may be blurred, do not remember, can only take them back to Dali Temple to ask for some memories, and then send people to check.

Li Wang nodded, and then asked people to take the child away, Qing Cang came to Shang Jingcheng's side to ask for instructions, and then left with him with the child.

Shang Jingcheng glanced at Xie Chuyao, reached out to take the little treasure in her arms, reached out to tease him, and saw his cute appearance of smiling toothily, he couldn't help but have a smile on his face, this child, they must take good care of it.

"Shang Jingcheng, Xiaobao has finally found it!" Xie Chuyao's eyes were slightly red as he looked at him, and the tension in his heart suddenly relaxed, and he became a little weak.

He hugged Xiaobao with one hand and her waist with the other, nodded and said, "Yes, Xiaobao has found it, you don't have to blame yourself anymore, let's go back to the palace." ”

Xie Chuyao nodded, and let him carry her and leave Beizhuang, this place, she didn't want to stay for a moment, standing here would make her involuntarily think of the disgusting Wang Yuanwai.

When he returned to the palace, Shang Jingcheng was called by the eunuch, saying that the emperor was looking for him to discuss things. Xie Chuyao handed Xiaobao to the palace maid first, and went to the cold palace by herself, Hongqiang was still there, she had to go and bring the child back, although this matter could be arranged for the palace maid to do, but she wanted to go over in person.

Walked on the palace road with a few palace maids, looking at the surroundings becoming more and more remote, a chill gradually surged in her heart, remembering that she had met the little wind here before, would he hide in a corner and look at herself again?

Shaking her head violently, she calmed down, and Qingying said that she received a letter from Xiao Feng, he is now in the desert, how can he be in this cold palace?

Thinking of this, she finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then resolutely walked towards the cold palace, and before she went to the other courtyard of the cold palace, she heard a burst of crying, she secretly sighed, and then walked forward again.

This place in the cold palace was originally a place where some old, weak, sick and disabled concubines lived here, and the emperor almost would not set foot in the place, once he was thrown into the cold palace, it was difficult to have a chance to come out again, there were not many palace maids in this cold palace, even the red rose was only two, and there was a eunuch who guarded the door, in fact, the conditions were really poor.

"I'm sorry, Sister Qiuhong, I didn't mean to bump into you, I just walked too quickly and didn't see you, I'm sorry." Hongqiang was still holding the rice in her hand, and kept apologizing to the vicious-looking palace maid in front of her with her head down.

"What do you mean by not intentionally? Do you think I'm going to do that? I'm telling you, you have to help me get all these things done today to forgive you! Qiu Hong said, pointing to the firewood on the side and some pulp washed clothes.

Hongqiang gritted her teeth and said: "Sister Qiuhong, this is your own business, mine has been done, and you should do it yourself, yes, I accidentally bumped into you, I apologize, but don't take the opportunity to pile these things on me." ”
