Chapter 352 Thorough Investigation
Not long after, Yun Yi immediately reported the results of the interrogation to the palace.
After a detailed investigation, the truth of the matter finally came to light. It turned out that the two people who appeared today were actually human traffickers! When Xiao Cao led the eldest prince and princess down from the carriage, their cunning eyes had already set their sights on the target.
There were three children, two of whom were only about five or six years old, and one was about twelve or thirteen years old. All of them were handsome and good-looking, and they stopped along the way, constantly buying various items, and their every move showed their wealth.
If they could successfully catch such an eye-catching child, they could definitely sell him for a very high price; they could also take this opportunity to extort a large sum of money.
However, what these human traffickers never expected was that Xiao Cao'er not only had an extremely quick reaction, but also had extraordinary skills.
Faced with the sudden danger, she did not panic at all and responded instantly.
The seemingly ordinary old lady was actually a smart and intelligent person. As soon as the chaos began, she did not hesitate to hug the child tightly in her arms and used her weak body to build a solid wall of protection for the child.
Looking back now, I have to say that these traffickers were really naive. Didn't they notice that Xiao Cao'er and her group had many guards following them both in front and behind?
With just a few of them, they actually tried to kidnap two children of noble status? Did they really think that these well-trained guards were useless and could be bullied by others?
After listening to Yun Yi's report, Qi Xingyun said, "Keep investigating to see if there are other forces behind them, otherwise they would definitely dare to snatch people in the street."
"Little uncle, do you suspect that there is someone else backing them?" The emperor asked suspiciously. He frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on Qi Xingyun in front of him, as if trying to find out a clue from his calm face.
Qi Xingyun nodded slightly and said slowly: "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. We have a guard team of so many people here, but they dare to act so blatantly. It is almost impossible to say that there is no powerful force supporting them!" As he spoke, he tapped the table lightly with his fingers, as if every tap hit everyone's heart.
At this moment, the Queen Mother who was sitting aside could no longer suppress her anger. She slammed the table and said sternly: "Investigate! We must investigate thoroughly! We must not let these audacious people go unpunished!" Her majestic voice echoed in the palace, making people feel awe.
Qi Xingyun then analyzed, "This trip was a spur-of-the-moment decision. Someone must have learned yesterday that Xuan'er and the others went to my house after leaving the palace, so they sent people to secretly monitor my house.
Otherwise, how could they have such an accurate grasp of our whereabouts? " At this point, his eyes became more profound, as if he had seen through the enemy's hidden conspiracy.
After thinking for a while, the emperor finally said, "In this case, let Long Yunwei investigate this matter.
With their abilities and means, they will definitely be able to find out the mastermind behind this!" After he finished speaking, the entire palace fell into silence, and everyone was waiting for this storm to be resolved as soon as possible...
On the other hand, after a medical examination, it was confirmed that the eldest prince and the princess were both frightened. Two doses of tranquilizing medicine were prescribed, and they were told to be careful at night, as the fever might be caused by being frightened.
The Queen nodded slightly and instructed the imperial physician, "Today's situation is special. I hope you can leave one person in the side hall to be on standby at any time, just in case."
The imperial physicians naturally did not dare to disobey the Queen's order, and they all agreed in unison. Then one of the more experienced physicians stayed behind.
After the imperial physician left, the queen slowly turned her gaze to Xiao Cao'er and began to examine her carefully.
At this moment, Xiao Cao'er realized as if he had just woken up from a dream that when he hurriedly entered the palace with the princess in his arms, he had forgotten to pay his respects to the Queen Mother first!
Her heart tightened and she quickly stood up. Just as she was about to kneel down to salute, the Queen quickly grabbed her hands.
Seeing this, Xiao Cao knew that the Queen was kind and generous, and didn't care about these red tapes, but as a subject, how could she lose her manners? So, she bowed and saluted, and said respectfully: "I, Yang Xiaocao, pay my respects to the Queen. May the Queen live a thousand years!"
The Queen Mother smiled slightly and said softly, "Aunt Xiaocao'er, please get up quickly. There's no need to be so polite. Today's matter is all thanks to you. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened to my son." As she spoke, she gently helped Xiaocao'er up and motioned to the palace servant to let her sit.
