After bidding farewell to the young Emperor, Lin Yi headed straight to the Taiping Grain Store.
Due to the continuous rainfall, a lot of the grain in the store had been soaked.
Just less than half an hour after Lin Yi left, cries of a child suddenly came from behind the young Emperor and Ying Yi.
Perhaps because she was soon to become a mother herself, the young Emperor stopped upon hearing the cries and anxiously said,
"Ying Yi, go check, there's a child there, has he lost his way and cannot find his home?"
They had just stepped through the gates of the Imperial City when they were drawn once again by the cries of the child and stepped back outside the city gates.
As a top-ranking Personal Guard, Ying Yi's instinct told her that the voice came from some hidden corner.
"Your Majesty, it seems the voice is coming from over there."
Saying that, Ying Yi cautiously led the young Emperor by the hand toward a debris-ridden area outside the city gate.
