I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 964 - Chapter 964 Letting It Go

Chapter 964: Letting It Go Chapter 964: Letting It Go Editor: Atlas Studios However, he couldn’t let the servants and secret guards discover his plan.

Besides, he was still so young, so how could he find the key to the corner door?

In the end, Little Bear found a wayaEUR”the master key.

As there were people of all classes among his friends, he knew that some thieves could magically open many locks with a wire.

These people also liked to make a key that could open many kinds of locks.

Little Bear went to a friend and, through his connections, managed to get his hands on such a key.

He had tried it on his door, and the key really could open the corner door.

So, he excitedly sent Little Treasure a bunch of toys, hiding the key among those toys.

In the spirit of being cautious, Little Treasure first tried using the key in the palace but failed every time.

Not to mention the lock of his palace, he couldn’t even open the most remote corner door of the East Palace in which he resided.

He even tried all the locked boxes in his house, but all of those attempts failed.

From this, it could be seen how safe the palace was.

Little Treasure felt that his escape operation would most likely fail, so he was very depressed.

However, he said that if he didn’t give it a try, he might regret it.

Since they didn’t have time to find a better master key for Little Bear, Little Treasure decided to give it a shot anyway.

If he successfully came out of the library, the next problem was: how would he leave the capital?

The two friends discussed for a long time and felt that it was still too dangerous for a child to travel alone.

They decided to ask for help.

From whom then?

It wasn’t that Little Treasure didn’t have anyone for this purpose.

Putting everything else aside, he had many acquaintances from the farmstead.

Moreover, with his great prestige in the farmstead, many would heed his words.

However, at the same time, they also had some understanding of his situation.

If he asked them to bring him out of the capital alone, they would definitely be suspicious.

If his servants discovered that he was missing, they would definitely go to the farmstead first.

Hence, this idea was dismissed as soon as they thought of it.

So was there no one who could help?

Of course not.

As kind, loving and helpful children, Little Treasure and Little Bear had no lack of people who were willing to help them.

The people of this era believed that a drop of water should be repaid with a spring.

If someone saved his life, he would be willing to repay them with the lives of his entire family.

Little Treasure and Little Bear had saved countless people in the capital.

The coachman they found this time was chosen by Little Treasure and Little Bear from among the people they had helped because he had the following characteristics: Firstly, he was very loyal to Little Treasure.

As long as Little Treasure asked, he was willing to sacrifice his life for the two children.

This was because one winter, when Little Treasure and Little Bear were playing on the streets, they met Huang Ren, a filial son who could not afford to treat his ill mother who was on the brink of death.

At that time, the two children did not have much money on them (they never brought much money when they went to the streets), but they still gathered three taels of silver and asked him to send his mother to the doctor.

Considering that three taels wasn’t a lot of money, Little Treasure was concerned that it wouldn’t be enough if his mother needed expensive medicinal herbs.

Thus, he even specially guarded the medical clinic and asked them for a copy of the prescription after the doctor gave his diagnosis.

They might not have much money, but they definitely had medicinal herbs at home.

It was a little troublesome for Little Treasure to take medicinal herbs from the palace, but it was very convenient for Little Bear to retrieve it from his home.

He directly handed the prescription to Zhu Liang and had him prepare three days’ worth of herbs by the next day.

After Little Bear came out of class in the evening, he seeked permission from Qi Haoran to go to the medical clinic to look for Huang Ren first.

Fortunately, he did encounter Huang Ren, who was about to go home with his mother on his back.

Little Bear gave the medicine to Huang Ren.

Seeing that his mother’s clothes were thin, he even pulled off the cloak his father was wearing and gave it to him.

Later on, Little Bear and Little Treasure continued to provide him with some more expensive medicinal herbs, and just like that, his mother survived that winter.

Under Mu Yangling’s influence, the two children had learnt to finish whatever they started, be it doing things or doing good deeds.

They only stopped interacting with Huang Ren after confirming that his mother had completely recovered.

When Little Treasure left, he saw that his family was living a difficult life, so he even helped him find a jobaEUR”to be an assistant shopkeeper in a small restaurant.

The reason was that Little Treasure had once helped the second shopkeeper of that restaurant, so the other party could help him with this.

Qi Haoran had lost a cloak for nothing.

Afraid that his silly son and nephew would be deceived, he naturally had to investigate Huang Ren thoroughly.

Only after he confirmed that Huang Ren had a good reputation in the neighborhood and was a filial son, did he leave the children be.

After that, Qi Haoran had unintentionally mentioned to Little Bear, “You may consider taking in Huang Ren as a subordinate.

If you two brothers like him, bring him to your side and train him.” Little Treasure and Little Bear didn’t help people to get them to do things for them, so they naturally rejected the idea.

To them, it was just a casual good deed and a case of helping out when they saw injustice.

However, Little Bear still remembered this sentence.

This time, when Little Treasure needed help from someone, this person came to mind.

Secondly, Huang Ren was strong, so it was not a problem for him to bring Little Treasure south.

Thirdly, it was because Huang Ren’s family had a donkey, so the issue of transportation was taken care of.

In summary, there was no more suitable candidate than Huang Ren.

When Little Treasure left the palace last time, he went to look for Huang Ren.

He only made up a story, and Huang Ren immediately offered to send him to Guangzhou.

As for what the story was, it wasn’t difficult for Qi Xiuyuan to deduce it from the letter because Little Bear only mentioned one sentence about it: “You have to be careful.

If Royal Uncle finds out, he’ll spank you.” From this, Qi Xiuyuan concluded that this story was definitely something that would incur his displeasure.

Qi Xiuyuan had just finished reading the letter when the leader of the secret guards returned.

He knelt on the ground and reported that he had investigated the situation of Huang Ren and his three generations of ancestors.

He had a clean background and his reputation was not bad.

The leader paused for a moment and said, “Your Majesty, after Huang Ren left the city, he returned home to pick up his younger sister.” Qi Xiuyuan’s forehead twitched.

The leader of the secret guards said, “I think he wants his sister to take care of His Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince.

After all, it’s a little difficult for him to take care of the two children alone.” Hearing this, Qi Xiuyuan relaxed a little.

The leader of the secret guards knelt on the ground and waited to be given an order, but he did not hear the Emperor say anything for a long time.

Seeing this, Eunuch Wan carefully took two steps forward and said in a low voice, “Your Majesty, should we get the commander of the Forbidden Troops to fetch His Highness the Crown Prince back?” Qi Xiuyuan snorted and said after a while, “There’s no need.

Since he wants to leave, I’m also curious to know how far he can go.” At the end of the day, Qi Xiuyuan still didn’t believe that the eight-year-old Little Treasure could go too far with his four-year-old brother.

“Ask the secret guards to take good care of them.

If His Highness and the Second Prince are injured or sick, ask them to immediately appear and bring them back.” Qi Xiuyuan’s greatest worry was that the two children were too young and weak to withstand the long journey.

At this moment, Little Treasure and his second brother were leaning against the carriage window and looking out.

Their hearts pounding so hard with excitement that it felt like they might leap out of their chests.

It turned out that the world outside the capital was really so wonderful.

Even by the time night fell, no one had caught up to Little Treasure.

Not only did the two children heave a sigh of relief, but even Huang Ren and his sister, Huang Chan, heaved a sigh of relief.
