A Female Emperor.
Find those kids.

Several men with sticks in their hands are now seen standing guard at the door of a closed room. Seeing that, Li Ying immediately hid himself behind the thick bushes to keep an eye on the surroundings.

“Hem, this is quite difficult!... I could have beaten them unconscious, but it would only cause a commotion and attract a lot of attention.” He murmured in his heart.

And when he was silent and busy thinking about how he could get into the room without anyone knowing, suddenly a small pebble hit his cheek as a result of a throw from someone.

Noticing that, Li Ying frowned. Then he grabbed the small pebble earlier and looked around for where the source of the pebble came from.

“Who did it?!” The girl muttered and wondered in her heart.

Then as she slightly raised her gaze, the little girl could vaguely see two men hiding on one of the roofs of the building.

Knowing who the two were, Li Ying immediately gave a silent gesture. While the two people who understood with the gesture that the girl showed also immediately nodded their heads.

Then one of them took out an object from behind his pocket and threw it at the guards.

After that, the white smoke immediately spread. And that made them feel panicked and confused.

“What's this smoke?!” One of the guards asked in confusion.

But his friend who knew something immediately said in panic. “No!! Don't inhale it or you'll.” His words stopped in the middle of the road, his eyes now felt heavy and in the end he lost consciousness and fell on the ground along with the others.

Seeing that, Li Ying also now glanced at the object thrown by the two people on the roof earlier. What a very useful object if seen from how it works fast and practical, they all even fell unconscious in a few seconds.

“Wah, next time I will ask them where it was made from, because it looks like I will need it most in the future later!” The little girl muttered in her heart.

Then, Li Ying immediately stepped onto the door. And along with that, the two men on the roof came down and walked towards him.

“Do you intend to go inside alone?” Ask one of them.

While Li Ying who was busy looking for the right key to open the door lock was now slightly glancing to the side and looked at Wang Zeming who spoke to him earlier. “Of course, you guys just take care of them and stay alert out here!... I'll go inside and look for the whereabouts of those kids.” He said, then immediately went inside after successfully opening the door.

Hearing what Li Ying said, the two people could now only fall silent and glance at each other. The little girl was so insensitive that she could understand the worry they were feeling right now.

Because if they did not care about the state of the little girl, then the two of them would definitely not bother to harm themselves by sneaking into this place.

“Meimei, if anything happens then shout!” Said Wang Yelu.

But even Li Ying who heard it frowned and said. “Hais! Don't call me meimei!!” He said, so tightly.

After all, in his first life he was their uncle. It is strange to be called meimei by his own nephew.

Entering the room, a dark and gripping atmosphere was immediately felt. There was not a single lit candle to illuminate the room, all Li Ying could do was try to search by relying on his healthy and clear eyes.

“Why is it empty here? I'm sure the kids are here, but where did they hide it?!!” Ask who murmured in his heart.

It is suspicious if the room is guarded so tight this is just an empty room. There must be something hidden, but Li Ying was not sure about it.

And as he stepped foot, a sound from the stepped wooden board sounded and stopped him. Hearing that, Li Ying immediately lowered his head down and glanced at the worn-out carpet he was stepping on at the moment.

“This feels like... ” The little girl fell silent, then put away the carpet under her feet to see something behind it.

“I guessed it!” He widened his eyes, under his feet was now a wooden board that looked like a secret passageway to the basement.

And not wanting to waste much time, the little girl immediately lifted the wooden board. Seeing a ladder that leads to a place, he immediately went in and down the stairs without feeling the slightest fear.

Sensing how dark and stuffy the place was, Li Ying muttered inwardly. “This place is so closed, I can't even feel the air blowing so well around me!” Mumbled.

Then, after he was at the end of the stairs his ears could faintly hear the sound of crying from some people.

“Wait, don't-don't It..”

Li Ying immediately stepped closer towards the source of the sound, until at the moment his gaze now saw several iron cages inside which were the children he was looking for, the little girl immediately widened her eyes and walked over to them.

“Down, how could they lock these children in animal cages?!!” He said, with a little exclaiming.

While the children who were in the cage and saw his whereabouts are now immediately screaming for help.

“Hiks! Hicks! Help me, I want to meet my mother again huhuhu!”

“I want out!”

“Please me!”

“I beg you to give me something to eat, I can't take it anymore!”

Said them, all of which really sounded so heartbreaking and paying attention.

Hearing that, Li Ying immediately put one of her index fingers in front of her lips. Gave a signal to the children to remain silent and not cause a commotion.

“I'll get you out soon, so be calm and don't be noisy!” He said firmly while trying to open the padlock that locked the door of the cage one by one.

And while doing so, Li Ying was able to clearly smell the foul smells from the dirt and leftover food that the children had become trash.

“They're so unkempt, I don't even think about how they've survived in a bad place like this!” He murmured in his heart.

The padlock that locked the cage was finally opened, and when the children came out, Li Ying's eyes now turned sad as she looked at the children's condition more clearly. “Living in poverty might be much better than having to live and be locked up in a cage like this!... The rats in the palace even had better lives than them, it was sad that these young children had to experience such a bad thing!”
