Gu Jingyun was about to enter the mansion, when he heard the sound of wheels, he stopped and turned around. When Dongfeng stopped the carriage, Gu Jingyun stepped forward and opened the curtain before him, stretched out his palm to the person in the carriage who was sinking like water, and said with a smile: "My lady, please get out of the carriage."

Li Baolu's expression softened, she jumped out of the car while holding his hand, "Why did you get off the office?"

"I met Jing Zhaoyin on the way, and only then did I know that my family members went to the Yamen to report the crime, so I stayed there for a while." Gu Jingyun led Baolu inside, "I asked Jing Zhaoyin, and the capital has been lost recently. Five children, this is just for reporting to officials."

"At the feet of the emperor, when did the traffickers become so rampant?"

"That means that these traffickers are not ordinary traffickers. Jing Zhaoyin has already sent someone to follow the bodyguards to investigate." Gu Jingyun patted her hand and said, "Don't be too impatient."

Li Baolu shook her head slightly, "I'm not in a hurry, we are strangers after all, but we are people with children, and when we put ourselves in the situation, it hurts like a knife cuts our hearts. So I hope they are safe and sound, I have told Anbu If there is news, do something to let the police notice, I hope they are fast enough."

"I heard that Weizhen and Jingxi brought back a little girl?"

Li Baolu nodded slightly, "She said her surname is Xie, and she came from a branch of the Xie family."

Li Baolu paused when she said this, rubbed her forehead and said, "Just now I just remembered to chase the traffickers, but I forgot to inform Xie's house."

Gu Jingyun smiled slightly: "It's still early before the curfew, just let Nanfeng take a trip."

Li Baolu asked Qingling to go to Xie Yi to get the handwritten letter and address, and asked Nanfeng to send the handwritten letter, "Keep quiet, she is a girl, and it will give her a bad reputation if it is spread out."

The south wind responded, "Madam, don't worry, the little ones must be careful."

The address given by Xie Yi was also in the inner city, not far from Lingsheng Street. Li Baolu and the others had just finished their dinner and Nanfeng came back. He came back alone.

"The letter has been sent in, but," Nan Feng scratched his head and said, "I don't think the situation of that family seems to have lost a child. Ma'am, is it that Miss Xie made a mistake?"

Li Baolu didn't care and said: "Just send the letter. Miss Xie is not young anymore. How could she write the wrong address? You'll know tomorrow."

Xie Yizang squeezed, she knew from the very beginning that it was impossible for her to give her real address, or even her real identity.

She didn't care, as long as the part about the traffickers was true.

Li Baolu yawned, waved his hands and said, "Okay, you can go down and rest too."

"Yes." Nan Feng bowed and stepped back.

Gu Jingyun saw her yawning until the corners of her eyes were filled with tears, so he couldn't help but stepped forward to hug her and said, "Okay, let's go to sleep first, and we will have news tomorrow."

Li Baolu nodded slightly, and went back to the room holding hands with Gu Jingyun, "I haven't had time to ask Weizhen and Jingxi about the trip, and An An, is it crazy to be taken by Weizhen and the others?"

"Well, I was so crazy that I was so tired that I fell asleep."

It was only then that Li Baolu realized that her daughter had already fallen asleep on the small bed with arms and legs spread out, obviously they fell asleep while they were talking in the study.

Li Baolu stepped forward and picked up a small blanket to cover her stomach, then yawned again and said, "I'm sleepy too."

Gu Jingyun hugged her and said in a low voice: "Go to sleep, sleep more tomorrow, and you can't sleep in if you want to sleep in after the school starts."

But the next day, Li Baolu still couldn't sleep late, and there was a knock on the door almost as soon as it was light outside.

Hongtao reported outside the door: "Master, madam, there is a distinguished guest at home."

Gu Jingyun frowned and stood up, seeing Baolu trying to open his eyes, he couldn't help being annoyed, lowered his voice and said, "Let them wait."

After finishing speaking, he lay down and hugged Baolu into his arms, letting her continue to sleep.

Hearts outside the door struggled for a while, but in the end they didn't dare to speak again, so they could only leave slowly.

The guests outside the door are really distinguished guests, sir!

Li Baolu had already been woken up. Although it was very difficult, she still got up. Anyway, she would never be able to sleep soundly again, so she might as well get up.

Li Baolu yawned and finished washing up. When she reached the front hall, the two distinguished guests had already drank two cups of tea and were looking out anxiously.

Seeing Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu walking towards each other, they got up quickly, but they restrained themselves and did not salute first when they thought of their identities.

Gu Jingyun's face was a little dark, and he cupped his hands and said: "I have seen the king of Chengjun and the master of Chonghua County."

Only then did King Cheng bow his hands in return, "Your Majesty Gu, you are being polite, I am bothering you with my sister-in-law."

Princess Chonghua bowed her knees to return the salute, glanced behind them, and couldn't help being slightly disappointed when she saw that there was no one she was looking for, she forced a smile and said: "Master Gu, Mrs. Gu, the reason for coming here today is because the servants of your mansion went to you yesterday. The Xie residence sent a letter, I don't know where the little girl who wrote the letter is, can I meet her?"

Seeing her haggard face, Li Baolu sat with King Cheng, but she looked older than King Cheng, so she couldn't help but sighed slightly: "Miss Xie is resting in the guest room, it's still early, she may not Get up."

Princess Chonghua's eyes turned hot, she leaned forward and said, "I don't know if I can go and see her, me, I'll just take a look..." See if she is the person she is looking for.

Li Baolu looked at Gu Jingyun, Gu Jingyun glanced at Prince Cheng, and nodded slightly to her.

Li Baolu stood up and said, "The princess will come with me."

It was still early, and Xie Yi had just escaped, so he was obviously very tired, and now he was sleeping soundly. Li Baolu opened the door and Princess Chonghua went in, but she didn't move at all.

Princess Chonghua passed Li Baolu and hurried to the inner room. When she saw the person lying on the bed, she couldn't help but cover her mouth, and she was so excited that tears fell down. The nanny who came with her still held her tightly and said in a low voice. Said: "Princess, Miss is still sleeping."

Princess Chonghua went out covering her mouth, and only dared to let go of her hands when she reached the yard and began to sob. She wiped her tears, turned around and bowed to Li Baolu: "Mrs. Gu, I think you guessed it, it's not a daughter of a side branch, but my own daughter, the eldest daughter of the direct line of the Xie family."

Li Baolu stretched out his hand to support her and said, "I guessed the Princess and King as soon as they came."

Princess Chonghua wiped the corners of her eyes, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Mrs. Gu, for lending a helping hand. Otherwise, I might never see Yiyi in my lifetime."

"Didn't your family go to the Yamen to report the case?"

If he went, with the influence of the Xie family and the Chengjun palace, it was impossible for this matter to be so silent, and it was impossible for Li Baolu not to know about it.

Princess Chonghua's complexion was a little ugly, she forced a laugh and said, "We just thought the child was lost, so we only asked the servants and servants to look around, and we didn't have time to report the case in the future."

Li Baolu didn't ask any more questions, but told her how Qu Weizhen and Xie Yi met, and then mentioned the traffickers, saying: "There are some things I don't want to ask, but I still hope that Miss Xie can provide more information. More clues to help the Yamen catch the traffickers earlier and rescue those children."

Princess Chonghua nodded, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Mrs. Gu, I'll go ask one by one."

On the contrary, Li Baolu looked at Princess Chonghua in surprise.

"The longer the time drags on, the worse it will be for those children," Princess Chonghua said in a deep voice, "The yamen's manpower is limited, I will ask my elder brother to send a team of soldiers to help, and try to rescue those children as soon as possible. God bless those children."

Princess Chonghua was even more anxious when she said this, and didn't care that her daughter was still sleeping, so she went in and shook her awake to ask about the situation.

Li Baolu didn't go in, but stood in the yard, and heard a few loud cries suddenly from the room, and then the cries gradually stopped, she heard Princess Chonghua softly asking Xie Yi about the process of being tied up and how he was arrested. The case of smuggling out...

Li Baolu stood in the yard for a while, seeing that the mother and daughter couldn't finish talking for a while, she got up and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

King Cheng and Princess Chonghua came to the door early in the morning, not to mention that they didn't have time for breakfast, even if they had time, they didn't have an appetite.

So when breakfast was served, the siblings sat at the table with Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu.

Xie Yi's eyes were red, and he was also pulled to the dining table by his mother.

Princess Chonghua felt that her daughter had lost a lot of weight after only missing for three days, and felt distressed.

If it weren't for being a guest at someone else's house, she would really like to put all the delicious food on the table in her bowl. King Chengjun also looked at his niece distressedly, turned his head and sincerely thanked Gu Jingyun again: "Thank you so much Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu gone."

Gu Jingyun said with a slight smile: "If King Cheng wants to thank me and my wife's two disciples, they brought him back, and my wife and I just helped deliver a letter with the wrong address."

Xie Yi's face turned red when he heard this, and he lowered his head in shame and remained silent.

King Cheng and Princess Chonghua looked as usual, and they still said sincerely: "The two young masters want to thank you, but Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu also want to thank you. Is it because Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu are so outstanding? Madam's instruction?"

"Father, mother!" Gu Jingyun heard the sound of pedaling footsteps, looked up and saw An An rushing in, plunged into his arms and pouted: "You guys, don't wait for me! Bad guys!"

Chengjun Wang looked at it with a smile, "This is the young lady, she is really smart and cute." After speaking, he untied a piece of jade from his waist and handed it to An An, and said with a smile: "Come on, kid, this is a gift from uncle."

An An sneaked a look at his father, and saw his father nodded slightly before reaching out to take it, and said in a childish voice, "Thank you, Uncle."

"You're so cute," Cheng County King sighed, "Yi was just like her when she was young, girls always have to be spoiled, but who knows, she raised her temper so much that she dared to throw the servants away and run away when she went to temple fairs. "

"Being captured by human traffickers this time can be regarded as a lesson for her, but the world has always treated women harshly. Even if she is fine, once this matter gets out, it will damage her reputation. Rumors are like knives, and they can kill people."

Gu Jingyun hugged An An, and said lightly: "Your Majesty Cheng, don't worry too much. Miss Xie is still young, and you haven't reported to the police. The matter is not too big, so there is naturally room for maneuver."
