The people who were still talking about each other were attracted by the aunt's voice, but they just glanced at her and continued chatting among themselves.
As a result, after a while, several aunts squeezed out of the crowd. The voices of those aunts were louder and louder. Just like other gossipy people, they gathered around and started chattering.
"I really don't understand why this common people's child has been kidnapped. What does it have to do with the princess who just returned? She has never had the blessing of leaving the country, but she has to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the common people. It's really not worth it."
"That is to say, Her Royal Highness is a kind-hearted person, so it is good that she can take care of this matter. I wonder who would think that Her Highness is at fault?"
"They must be some heartless people. They don't hurt their backs when they stand and talk. They just open their mouths and don't have to worry about the consequences."
"Your Highness the Princess is so kind. If you want me to be a princess, when I hear these people moaning here, I will have all their tongues cut out!"
"Isn't that right? The kidnapper wanted to harm the princess, and it's not the princess's fault. Since when is the victim still guilty?"
"That's it! It's like the people in the next village have been kidnapped, and the people in our village are asked to pay for their lives, but people who can't be beaten have to pay so much. Who would be happy?"
"I think the princess is really a good person. Now that she is here, it is so rare."
"That's right, I obviously don't even use it..."
"..."
The voices of those aunts were particularly familiar, and their voices were loud, so they quickly reached Liu Shengsheng's ears.
Liu Shengsheng looked back and realized that those ladies were the same ones by the river that day.
It seems that they already know their identities...
But now, those ladies didn't come up to acknowledge her. Instead, they blended into the crowd of people and kept talking to Liu Shengsheng.
Soon, many people in the crowd were aroused, and they all felt that Liu Shengsheng was kind-hearted and had done nothing wrong.
Du Baili walked up to them at some point and said, "Shengsheng, everything doesn't seem that bad. Maybe you don't have to go in. I think the people understand you quite well..."
Yichen said, "Why don't you let me in?"
"What if the people inside are stimulated and kill another child?" Liu Shengsheng asked calmly.
Du Baili was speechless for a moment.
Yichen was also speechless for a moment.
Nan Muze took a deep breath and said after a long time: "Be careful."
"good."
Liu Shengsheng nodded, and finally walked to the teahouse in full view of everyone...
As she pushed open the teahouse door, countless people gasped.
"Your Highness the Princess is so brave, she actually went in..."
"Isn't that right? The kidnappers inside are very vicious. Isn't Her Royal Highness in danger?"
"With so many soldiers surrounding the teahouse, what danger can happen to Her Royal Highness?"
"What do you know? Far water can't save a near fire. If the people inside really attack the princess, when the people outside rush in, the body will be cold..."
"Speak more quietly, are you going to die?"
"The whole capital is paying attention to this matter. Folks and elders all over the street are saying, what's the point of being so quiet?"
"..."
The door in front opened and closed, and Liu Shengsheng's figure quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Seeing that she didn't come out for a long time, everyone on the street became a mess.
Some said she was brave, others said she was kind-hearted, and most of them just gathered around to watch the fun, as if they wanted to see how Liu Shengsheng would come out later...
Of course, in addition to the people talking a lot, you can also hear a few heart-wrenching cries occasionally.
It can be seen that there are still many parents of children standing in the crowd, but the surroundings are too chaotic and no one is surrounding them...
Compared to the street
The place was bustling, but the teahouse seemed very quiet.
After Liu Shengsheng walked in, she kept looking around cautiously.
But for a long time, I didn't see a single figure.
She shouted several times but got no response.
I climbed up to the second floor quietly, and the second floor was also quiet.
what happened?
There is no one here...
Liu Shengsheng had a bad feeling in her heart.
She thought about countless possible scenes, but she never thought that there would be no one inside.
She was even prepared for a fight, and she also thought about whether she would see a group of innocent children pitifully asking for help from her...
But there was nothing.
The surroundings were unbelievably quiet.
At this moment, Liu Shengsheng couldn't figure it out at all.
She doesn't understand what the other party's purpose is?
Is it just to call yourself in?
"If no one is around, I'll leave."
Liu Shengsheng murmured to himself, and then walked downstairs.
After walking downstairs, I found a note posted on the door.
When I got closer, I saw it was a naked threat.
The general idea is: as long as you go out, another person will die.
Liu Shengsheng clenched her fists angrily, "So that's it. You asked me to come in just to lock me up? Haha, are you too childish?"
With that said, she reached out and tore off the paper on the door.
She wanted to open the door and go out, but when her hand touched the doorknob, she finally retracted her hand.
It would be too cruel to say that one thought of mine could really lead to the death of an innocent child...
But if a child dies as soon as he goes out, it means that the person behind him has been secretly watching him, so he knows his every move.
Does that mean those children are actually being held nearby?
Liu Shengsheng fell into deep thought.
At the same time, a guard hurriedly ran towards Nan Muze.
"Your Highness Prince Cang, brothers suddenly received this letter!"
Nan Muze took it coldly, opened it, and his expression suddenly changed.
Du Baili came forward and said, "Who else would write to you at this time?"
Nan Muze threw the letter directly to him.
He took a cursory glance and then his expression changed drastically, "Are they crazy? What's the benefit to him of letting 20,000 soldiers from Feng Qing Kingdom approach the capital?"
Nan Muze said nothing with a cold face.
Du Baili said again: "No, I have to go in and bring Shengsheng out! She must be in danger now, otherwise why has there been no movement?"
Nan Muze said coldly: "Don't you understand? On the surface, the people behind him are here for Shengsheng, but in fact, they are here for me."
As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes dangerously, "To be precise, he should be targeting our two countries."
Du Baili's eyes widened in shock, "What do you mean?"
Seeing that Nan Muze didn't speak, he was shocked and said: "Is it possible that they still want to see a war between the two countries? If your more than 20,000 soldiers come to the city, even if I don't care, my father, the emperor, and the empress will not be able to bear it. Even if They turned a blind eye, and if even one of the people in the city knew about it, they would be in trouble!"
