After not sleeping for long, the sky turned pale.

The soldiers divided into two groups, and Xiaoxun left the gate of Yingzhou with the disguised Wenxue Ming among the first batch of troops leaving the city.

Xiaoruo went to the West Market car dealership to pick out an honest and responsible driver, and asked him to take care of Wenming along the way under the pretext that her younger brother was going to find her cousin.

After watching the carriage disappear at the end of the road, the two walked slowly back to the city.

It was just white, and it was the second day of the Lunar New Year. People mostly hid in warm quilts, and there were only a few mobile vendors selling breakfast on the street.

The freshly baked meat buns were delicious and hot, so Xiaoruo bought two drawers at once for breakfast to take home.

The twenty meat buns were divided into four oil-paper bags, Xiaoxun carried three, and Xiaoruo held a hand warmer.

Following the pace of the two, the exhaled white air pounced on their faces again and dissipated immediately.

Silently counting her steps, Xiaoruo couldn't help feeling tangled in her heart.

... Seven, eight, nine... Do you want to say... Ten, 34, fifteen... Last night, I decided not to get involved... 353637... What if the cubs and old men are involved... 5859 Sixty...

"Ruo Ruo? Ruo Ruo!"

Xiaoruo realized that Xiaoxun was calling her after being held back.

Brushing her wind-blown sideburns for her, Xiaoxun asked worriedly: "What are you thinking about? You're so preoccupied, did you sleep less last night and feel drowsy?"

Pursing her lips, she raised her face to look at Xiaoxun who was nearly two heads taller than herself, Xiaoruo finally decided to reveal all her entanglements.

"I...I'm wondering whether to tell the Holy Spirit about this..."

Ever since she decided to send Wen Wenming away, she gradually began to be tormented by guilt and anger.

Really don't care?
After lying on the bed last night, holding Xiaoyou who was terrified and wanted to sleep next to her in her arms, feeling the soft and warm body under the palm of her hand, Xiaoruo turned her eyes to the deep darkness outside the window.

On this cold winter night, I don’t know how many desperate children are caged in iron cages and locked in a dark room, waiting in anxiety all day long for the day when they will be selected as medicine.

They were supposed to be in a warm home, perhaps acting coquettishly and foolishly with their parents, or perhaps clinging to the elder sister's arms like Niaoyou.

After being taken away, these poor children will no longer see spring flowers, summer breeze, autumn fruits and winter stoves. They are like livestock waiting to be slaughtered, and the only thing that greets them is death.

Xiaoruo considers herself not the Holy Mother. She has seen countless cruelties and bloodshed. During the end of the world, she searched for her familiar face countless times from the stumped limbs and arms. In order to survive, she also burned the rebels and enemies to death.

But those who are used to make yin and yang medicines are still young children... just like Xiaoxun and Xiaoyao back then...

Thinking that Xiao Niao was almost snatched by Ren Yazi, and Xiao Xun was abused by them, Xiao Ruo couldn't help but feel murderous.

Looking at the two dimples that were revealed by her pursing her lips, Xiao Xun's fierce eyebrows and eyes lowered slowly, he looked into Xiao Ruo's eyes, and asked, "Ruo Ruo is afraid that this matter will implicate Zhao Zhao and Niao Niao. With two old men?"

Xiaoruo nodded, and added: "And you."

The feeling of being remembered and worried is like a hot spring, slowly flowing through the heart, dispelling the winter chill.

Xiao Xun said with a smile: "I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as what the literature said. I have never heard of any serious illness in the country's uncle, and he has transported a large number of children to Yingzhou for many years. The inspection of the city alone will not So easy."

This is what Xiao Ruo had thought of long ago.

What are yin and yang medicines for?Old man Cen, who has been a pharmacist all his life, has never heard of it.

If Uncle Guo was sick, why didn't he seek help from Tai Hospital?One must know that the best doctors in the world are all in the imperial palace. With his noble status, what kind of medicine cannot be obtained?This yin and yang medicine has to be used with the heart blood of young children, so it must be a special-purpose evil medicine.

Yingzhou is the seat of the emperor, and they have to be interrogated when entering and leaving the city. It is okay to say once or twice, and it is not easy to transport a large number of children into Yingzhou frequently, if only relying on the power of the uncle.

No flaws have been revealed for so many years, the forces behind these human teeth must be intricate and deeply rooted in Ye Hai.

She still remembered that those people from Qinzhou were sent to Yingzhou for trial, and it seems that they were saved by the forces behind it in all likelihood.

That's why she thought of telling His Majesty.

No one is more powerful than the current emperor, and no one cares more about others harming his people than him. After all, those children are the future labor force and the foundation of the country.

But she can't say it directly.

The cold winter wind is like a powerful hand, easily taking away all the heat.

Xiaoruo felt that the steamed stuffed bun in her hand was getting cold, she curled her fingers, and the temperature in her right palm was controlled at [-] degrees, so that the steamed stuffed bun would not cool down completely.

The temperature of the left palm was controlled at forty degrees, and he clenched his fist into Xiao Xun's empty right hand.

Warm Hand·Xiaoruo·Bao transformed successfully.

Feeling the temperature of the big palm wrapping her left hand gradually rise, she said with satisfaction: "Things are not easy, we will make it simple."

Unaware that the two of them in this posture are like a newlywed couple, Xiaoruo tilts her head to explain her plan.

"The easiest way is that we don't intervene, and kick the ball directly to the Holy One...the ball is Cuju..."

Shaking his hand, motioned to continue walking.

"Uncle Guo, we can't afford to offend you, but the Holy Majesty can handle it. As long as the Holy Majesty is willing to intervene, there will be progress in this matter in all likelihood..."

"However, the king's heart is like the sea. The Holy Majesty will not believe that the uncle is killing children behind his back just based on our one-sided words. In the final analysis, we are the outsiders."

Feeling the warmth of the palm, Xiaoxun himself didn't realize that his face was full of happy smiles, and his voice softened several degrees, "Then what do we have to do to make His Majesty believe us?"

She also wanted to know the answer to this question, Xiaoruo pouted.

It is a skill to make the king believe in other people's words, and now the two of them are definitely not as important as the weight of the country's uncle Sui Yingtai in the balance of Zang Lu's heart.

Sighing, Xiaoruo said with helplessness in her tone, "If you want the Holy Majesty to trust us, at least we have to solve the mercury issue first..."

Only by actually letting the king see what is available can he gain a little trust.

Xiao Xun also agreed: "Then after we return to the palace during the Lantern Festival, we will check the doctors and eunuchs who are on shift again. There must be something we haven't noticed yet."

Other than that, there is no other way for now.

As far as the eye can see, the orange-red morning sun has already gently kissed the whole of Yingzhou. Xiaoruo took a deep breath of the cold air, and continued to walk home with the people around her. The cubs and the two old men at home are still waiting for dinner .

Winter, after all, will pass.
