"Brother Datong, you did it, great! Sister Haitang is saved!" Lamei jumped up happily and hugged the mute sister tightly. This was the best news I heard after being in the capital.
Several people were excited about it for a while.
"However, the emperor gave me another problem, asking me to find his little princess Wanwan who has been missing for many years." Datong said.
"Ah, this emperor is constantly making things difficult for us, and we have no grudge against him. I think he is just a fool, and he doesn't even want to let Sister Haitang go." Lamei said unhappily.
"If you can't find Wanwan, you won't be beheaded, which is good news. And there is no deadline." Datong said.
"I met Princess Wanwan several times when she was still alive. She was very cute, and she was quite destined to me. If we could find her, even my brother would be grateful to you, Number One Scholar. Unfortunately, she got lost later, and the Emperor launched
Despite the efforts of the whole country and the bounty of tens of thousands of taels, nothing was gained. The people who were sent in were all similar-looking people, but they were not the real Princess Wanwan." Zilu knew the royal affairs well.
"Then how did your Majesty know that there was no real Princess Wanwan sent in?" Mr. Zhang asked.
"The emperor has his own way of identifying, and only he knows it. This is to prevent someone from cheating and treating any child as a princess, leaving the real princess wandering outside." Zilu explained.
"Hey..." Wintersweet sighed.
"If I were that princess, I could live in fine clothes, do whatever I want, and go back and ask my parents if I am my biological child..." Lamei said in fantasy.
"Princess Wanwan is eight years old now. Miss Lamei, you are almost eighteen. You are too old. Even if you are a princess, you will be sent to a small country to get married at your age..." Zilu attacked.
Lamei glared at Zilu, "I'd better follow Sister Haitang in dyeing cloth."
"I wonder what Brother Tian has planned?" Mr. Zhang asked Datong.
"My plan is to go to Tianlao tomorrow to see Begonia. We can all go, and the emperor has agreed. I will make plans after seeing Begonia. Finding people is not my strong point. I need everyone to brainstorm.
The world is really too big." After Datong said this, he took out Wanwan's portrait and showed it to everyone. She is indeed a cute and innocent little girl, and she is very beautiful. She will definitely be a beauty when she grows up.
"I can go see Sister Haitang!" Lamei jumped up happily again, dancing and cheering.
"Me and the mute sister are going to prepare some of Sister Haitang's favorite food. She must be eating bran vegetables in there, and she might not even be able to drink water..." Lamei said anxiously.
The mute girl also nodded in response. She had never been to Tianlao, but she had heard that even if you don't die there, you will have your skin peeled off. There are even folk rumors that it is scarier than the 18th level of hell. If you go in, you will almost never get out...
Lamei and Yamei went to the kitchen. They cooked a lot of Sister Haitang's favorite food and put them in food boxes to take away tomorrow. The remaining dishes were brought out to eat with Mr. Zhang and Zilu.
We are going to visit the prison in Tianyao tomorrow. Everyone is very happy. Although it is not the day of Haitang's release, we are still very happy to see each other at least once. I don't know how she is doing in Tianyao...
In addition to the food prepared by Yumei and Wintersweet, Zilu also asked people to go to the market to order a few sets of thicker clothes overnight. It was dark and humid with no sunlight, which was especially bad for the joints.
