The two women nodded with satisfaction and then went to look at the other children.

Si Jin frowned slightly, and when no one noticed him, he spit out the small pill hidden under his tongue, stuffed it into his sleeve, and then turned around and looked.

After taking the medicine, the children seemed very excited. He imitated them and danced on the spot as if the medicine had taken effect.

Seeing this scene, the two women who had just fed him the medicine nodded in satisfaction.

Prince Yan's Mansion

First day of February

It has been exactly half a month since Si Jin was lost, and Leng Yi Yan's life or death is unknown. These two things combined are enough to cost Luo Nian Xi half her life, but she knows that she cannot fall down now, she has to support this family.

In the past few days, Leng Jin has been investigating the matter of the Valley of Death. Today, he finally got some news and he couldn't wait to run to tell her.

"Princess Yan, I found out."

Before the others entered the house, the voice came in impatiently.

Luo Nianxi walked over quickly.

"Eighth Uncle, what did you find out?"

Leng Jin didn't have time to sit down, and said hurriedly:

"I asked my friends in the underworld to find out the location of the Valley of Death."

"Really? Tell me now, I want to go find Si Jin."

"Don't be impatient yet."

Leng Jin frowned and waved his hand.

"I heard that the terrain of Death Valley is dangerous. It is not easy for ordinary people to climb up the mountain. Even if you can get up, you may not be able to save Si Jin by yourself. This matter still needs the help of the court."

"No, if the imperial court sends people up the mountain, it will definitely attract their attention. What if they run away, or hurt Si Jin? Eighth uncle, give me some time, let me go and take a look first."

"No."

Leng Jin shook his head seriously.

"The emperor attaches great importance to this matter. He has ordered the Ministry of War to prepare troops. I will personally lead the troops to rescue Si Jin."

"When will you set off?"

"tomorrow."

"Then give me the address quickly. I'll leave now. I'll definitely be faster than you on horseback."

"I said no, and it's no. Now Yan'er's life or death is uncertain. If something happens to you, what will happen to the Yan Palace? Don't worry about Si Jin. We will rescue him."

"Eighth Uncle..."

"Stop talking."

Leng Jin waved his hand mercilessly.

"If you really want to go, I can let you go with us, but you must listen to me in everything and not act rashly. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens this time, I won't be able to explain to the emperor."

Seeing that if she didn't agree, the Eighth Prince would not tell her the address of the Death Valley, she had no choice but to nod.

"Okay, I'll follow Eighth Uncle's instructions in everything."

Leng Jin nodded.

"Then you should prepare yourself and set out at 11:00 am tomorrow morning to settle the two children at home. One has already been lost, so we must not allow any more trouble to occur."

Hearing this, Luo Nianxi's heart suddenly trembled.

Ever since Leng Yiyan failed to return triumphantly, disputes began to arise in the capital.

First, Prince Heng was arrogant and proud of his achievements on the battlefield. He wanted to use this to consolidate his position in the court. In addition, he had the support of the Seventh Prince, so it seemed that he was determined to win the position of crown prince.

Next is Prince Duan Leng Yifei. No one knows how Leng Yifei, who has never sought fame and fortune and only liked to eat, drink and have fun, suddenly became a very utilitarian and scheming person, with a cold face when he meets everyone. It is also said that he secretly established his own power and kept winning over ministers in the court. He seems to be coveting the position of crown prince.

Among these princes, Leng Yixing was probably the only relatively normal one. After knowing that Leng Yiyan was in trouble, he brought Shang Xiaoman and the children to the mansion to express his condolences twice.

Seeing what she was thinking about, Leng Jin knew what she was worried about. He moved his eyebrows slightly and said softly:

"With Yan'er in trouble and the position of Crown Prince vacant, the court is bound to stir up a storm of blood and gore. But don't worry, I will ask Xu Mingjun to take extra care of Prince Yan's Mansion."

She looked at him gratefully.

"Thank you, Eighth Uncle."

At this moment, Chuntao hurried in to report,

"Princess, someone has come to the palace and said that the Queen asked you to send Jinyu and Jinjie to the palace to accompany her."

These words suddenly touched Luo Nianxi.

She knew that the Queen had been in tears these past few days because of Leng Yiyan's matter, and she was also very worried about Si Jin's matter.

She asked Jinyu and Jinjie to enter the palace to accompany her. She must have known that she was going to rescue Sijin, and she was afraid that she would worry about the two children at home.

She didn't expect that at this time, the Queen would be so thoughtful.

She nodded.

"Well, send it off! Be careful on the road."

After Chun Tao received the order, she turned around and left. Leng Jin then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now that these two children have entered the palace, you can rest assured. Get ready and set off early tomorrow morning."

She actually had nothing to prepare. She wished she could set off right away. She was really worried about Sijin's safety and wanted to rescue him as soon as possible.

……

After fifteen days of exploration, Sijin has already understood the general situation here. He decided to sneak out tonight while everyone is asleep.

At this time, his face and body were covered with scars.

These injuries were caused by Leng Rujing's torture when she thought of her own children.

Sijin was a smart child. In order to avoid her suspicion, he tried his best to act like the other children.

Whenever he saw Leng Rujing, he would keep trying to please her in order to get her to torture him less.

But even so, she still refused to let him go.

"Everyone stand up..."

A sharp voice suddenly came, and the children who were sitting here in a daze were frightened and trembled for a moment, then hurriedly stood up from the ground, straightened their bodies, and stood there with their heads down.

Leng Rujing and Guo Wei, accompanied by several women in black, walked towards this side with their heads held high and chests puffed out like two proud peacocks.

There was no trace of emotion in their eyes.

Sijin buried his head very low, afraid that Leng Rujing would see him and take it out on him again.

He didn't understand why this woman always made trouble for him and always disliked him. He was as well-behaved and obedient as other boys.

However, from her tone, he could roughly hear that she seemed to have a grudge against his mother, but he didn't know what the grudge was.

"you……"

Leng Rujing was standing in front of him, pointing her finger at him.

"Stand over there."

Si Jin looked at her timidly, but she scolded him.

"Why are you looking at me? Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

She then instructed the two women in black behind her:

"Pull him over there to be a rake, and teach you how to practice raking today."

As soon as she said this, Si Jin had a bad feeling, but before he could say anything more, two women came over and dragged him away.

Leng Rujing waved to the other children and said:

"Now, treat Leng Jinyan as a rake, and punch him twice each. Let me see how good your boxing skills are."
