The Adventures of the Crying Princess

Yuwen Ji received the letter and went to the palace to pay his respects overnight. "I am late in escorting you. Please forgive me, father and mother."

"Let's not talk about this. Go and see the little girl. She is seriously injured." The emperor held back his tears and pointed to the side hall.

"Don't worry, Madam. Xiaoqi is fine. Master often says that she is just a wild monkey and very tough." Su Xiaobei said it lightly, but his eyes were full of worry.

Bai Yimeng's voice came from the side hall, "Su Xiaoliu, you are a monkey, your whole family is a monkey, Master would never say that to me.

"Okay, my family is full of wild monkeys." Hearing that Bai Yimeng still had the energy to argue, Su Xiaobei burst into laughter, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuwen Ji naturally wanted to go in, but not only did Jinying and Yinying disagree, even Bai Yinan acted as if he was going to beat him to death if he dared to go in.

Not long after, a voice was heard from inside, "Seventh Master, you can't move. You have too many injuries."

"Yinsi, move aside. I can walk by myself." Bai Yimeng pushed Yinsi aside and staggered out of the side hall.

Yuwen Ji stepped forward to help her up, "Where are you going? Why don't you lie down?"

"Get out of the way, I won't talk to you." Bai Yimeng pushed Yuwen Ji away with great effort.

Emperor Chengde knew that the monkey was sick and scolded him, "Go back and lie down. Why are you tormenting yourself?"

There is no need to complain about being late for protecting the emperor or about your inadequate guarding.

You are not my bodyguard. You protect me out of kindness. If I don’t even understand this, wouldn’t I become a tyrant?

You want to explain it to me, right? Well, I'll settle the score with you. What did I tell you before you left the palace? I told you not to get hurt. How did you promise me that?

Did you promise me that you would come back safely? Look at your current behavior, can you call this safe?

Go back and lie down. When your wounds are healed, I will let your elder brother beat you up."

"My maid..."

"Okay, little girl, just be obedient. Seeing you like this, I feel very uncomfortable. Just lie down obediently." The queen walked forward and pulled Bai Yimeng back to the side hall.

Bai Yimeng shook her head and bowed, "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. I failed to protect you properly, and I am willing to be punished. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Chengde was so angry that he ignored her and said, "Little Chen, help him into the side hall."

Eunuch Chen reached out to help, but Bai Yimeng suddenly grabbed his hand, turned around and pressed him to the ground, "Tell me, where is Eunuch Chen really?"

After saying that, he reached out and tore off the human skin mask on his face. It turned out to be Chen Gonggong's apprentice, Xiao Douzi. No wonder he imitated so well.

"I imitated you so well that Your Majesty didn't notice it. How did you notice it?" Xiao Douzi tried to break free from Bai Yimeng's hand.

“Your Majesty didn’t notice it because you imitated your master and only paid attention to how he served Your Majesty, how he was polite to others, and how he treated people.

But what you don’t know is that Eunuch Chen would cry when he saw me injured.

I'm so badly injured today, he can't just ignore me. Tell me where your master is?"

"Found it!" Long Shiwu reported, "In a dry well in the backyard. The person was fine when he was found, just a little frightened."

Bai Yimeng handed the little bean to Jin Ying, turned around and knelt down, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It is wrong for me to look for someone in the palace without permission. Please punish me."

"It's an emergency. If you tell me, I'm afraid you won't be able to find me. Just be careful next time." Emperor Ming Chengde felt something strange in his heart. This feeling was very strange. "When did you suspect Xiao Chenzi?"

“Your Majesty, when I met Jiang Tianyu.

Only Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and Eunuch Chen knew that I had left the palace. Jiang Tianyu said that Shi Su Ming would enter the palace to assassinate me, so I guessed that Eunuch Chen might have been replaced.

This matter is due to my lack of consideration, please punish me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Chengde helped the man up, feeling a little awkward in his heart, "Have you ever suspected that I don't trust you and deliberately told others about your affairs?"

Bai Yimeng shook her head, "Never. Whether your Majesty believes in me or not, I will be loyal to you.

If what happened today was Your Majesty testing my loyalty, I would have done the same.

Whether it's me or Wan An Gu, we are all loyal followers of your majesty. If you have any doubts, just kill them directly, without hesitation or excuses."

Emperor Chengde nodded slightly and patted her head. "Okay, remember, as Your Majesty, I am first the Son of Heaven, then I have other identities. Do you understand?"

Bai Yimeng knelt down and kowtowed, "I have always kept in mind what you said five years ago.

I still say the same thing. If Your Majesty continues to distrust me, just kill me. I will never say no."

"Today, you searched the palace without permission. This is a capital crime. Considering your meritorious service in protecting the emperor, I will spare you this time. When you are injured, you will receive twenty strokes of the cane as a warning to others."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bai Yimeng knelt down and kowtowed.

"Okay, get up!" Emperor Chengde reached out his hand to help her, but Bai Yimeng didn't have the strength to get up. Her body went limp and she fainted in Emperor Chengde's arms.

"Little monkey, quickly call the imperial physician." After saying those words to her, the old emperor felt very uncomfortable, but as an emperor he had to do so.

If one day he was forced to kill her, just like he killed his parents, he was afraid that he would go crazy.

He hugged Bai Yimeng tightly, as if he was going to lose her in the next second.

"There is no need to find the imperial physician. Father, please give the little girl to your son." Yuwen Ji was frightened by the conversation between the two, fearing that Emperor Chengde would kill her the next second.

"Okay." Emperor Chengde loosened his hand and said in a voice that only the father and son could hear, "Don't be afraid, Third Brother. I'm talking to an outsider."

"Father, you know that she has known all this for a long time. She said something similar to me five years ago. At that time, I thought she was just saying something in anger after being beaten."

Yuwen Ji smiled and touched Bai Yimeng's head, "Don't worry, father. If you want to kill her one day, your son will go down to accompany her.

Father, our Yuwen family really owes her too much. She worked for you and protected you without asking for any reward or favor.

Even if you are a death warrior, there should be an explanation, either for money or for fame.

The little girl did nothing for nothing, just because her surname was Bai. Does that mean she deserves death if her surname is Bai? It’s been ten years since the incident with Zhenbei Marquis. It’s gone so fast that my son has almost forgotten about it.”

After Yuwen Ji finished speaking, he took off his cloak and wrapped Bai Yimeng around him, "Father, you said that your son can decide his own marriage, and I want her.

At the Ministry of Internal Affairs, please tell your father that we don't need a wedding. From now on, she is my son's principal wife, and my son will advance and retreat with her."

Everything happened too suddenly and too absurdly. The three brothers of the Bai family didn't react at all. How could the cabbages they raised be eaten by pigs?

The key point is that they have to thank this pig. After all, everyone can see the murderous intention of Emperor Chengde just now.

“Your Majesty may have misunderstood. Our little sister is in charge of Wan’an Valley, not the capital city, or the imperial palace guards.

If you think there is nothing wrong with my younger sister protecting you, I can tell my younger sister that you don’t have to do that in the future.” Bai Yinan was so angry that he was shaking all over. Is there anything wrong with his younger sister protecting someone?

"May I ask your Majesty, is it wrong for me to look for Eunuch Chen? Do I want Eunuch Chen to stay in the dry well forever?" Bai Yisong was so angry that his face turned blue, "Your Majesty, I don't hold any official position in the court.

This time, I am protecting you and the queen out of the respect and love of the younger generation for the elders.

She could have just hired a few people to do the work, or just informed you of the matter and considered it her duty. She herself didn't have to worry about anything.

This is especially true when searching for Eunuch Chen; it is not her responsibility.

When my father was alive, he did not intend to let her do anything dangerous. Please allow me to take her back to the palace.

As for marriage, let's talk about it after she wakes up.

Bai Yimeng was only in a coma for a short time, but soon woke up and heard their conversation. She cried softly in Yuwen Ji's arms.

Yuwen Ji kissed his cheek gently, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"I wasn't afraid. I didn't cry."

Su Xiaobei poked Bai Yisong, signaling him to stop talking nonsense. He stepped forward, smiled, and bowed, "Congratulations, Prince Yi and Princess Yi.

Congratulations, Xiaoqi. Don’t worry if there’s no wedding. My old man has already said that he will contribute a portion of your dowry when you get married.

I will write to him right now and ask my old man to fulfill his promise. Don't let him get away with it, he has plenty of money.

By the way, I have to tell Second Brother and Sister Bihe to ask Yumen Villa and Jinjia Villa to donate some money as well. To marry off a girl, who wouldn’t spend money?

Xiaoqi, don't be afraid. I have no choice but to take charge of Yunjiang.

My old man is old, and I have to help him. But if you have anything to do, write to me and I will come."

Su Xiaobei seemed reckless, but in fact he was quite clever. He said this just to remind the old emperor that their little Qi was not a wild child who was left unattended.

It would be fine if they didn't do any hard labor for nothing, but they beat me up and killed me whenever they wanted. How could this be possible?

What about treating Wan'an Valley, Jinjia Villa, Yumen Villa and Yunjiang Suwang Palace as decorations?

"Well, how can we postpone the wedding? I will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask for help. It's too late today and everyone is tired. Let's go.

"Brother, put her down. She is so badly injured and exposed to the cold wind. What should we do? Let her stay in the palace for now and wait until she is better."

"Yes, son, obey your command. Father, your son will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to receive a beating tomorrow morning. If she makes a mistake in the future, you will punish her son in the same way. She is not in good health and cannot bear the beating."

Emperor Chengde was forced into a dilemma at this moment, so he could only nod slightly and wave his hand, "Everyone, retreat."
