The Adventures of the Crying Princess

As Su Beichen expected, Emperor Chengde blamed the death of the Prince of Qi on Jingzhao Prefecture. The prefect, Song Qixian, also threw the shit pot to him, just as Su Beichen expected.

Su Beichen accepted the crime without arguing or arguing. In his letter of apology, he tactfully described how the prefect, Lord Song, had accepted bribes and oppressed the people in the future.

He also said that he shouldn't have always competed with his leader for credit and shouldn't have taken his leader lightly. He shouldn't have seen his leader secretly having an affair with the prince.

After reading it, Emperor Chengde sent people to verify it, and it was indeed as Su Beichen said. Song Qixian accepted bribes and enriched himself. He also had close contacts with the King of Qi and the Crown Prince in private.

If someone else said this, Emperor Mingde would probably suspect that he had bad intentions. But he was Su Beichen, a well-known idiot in the capital.

As Su Beichen had expected, the decree to depose the crown prince had already been torn to pieces by Emperor Mingde. Since then, the capital has returned to peace, and Longguzhu and Lu Yikuan have also left the palace.

Yuwen Ji went to the palace to ask for permission and told Emperor Mingde about his longing for his daughter-in-law.

"No, you will only cause more trouble if you go." Emperor Mingde paced back and forth, "Yue Qi is the only one left in the Five Nations Alliance. Can't you wait a little longer?"

"My son misses his wife and can't wait." Yuwen Ji acted like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water and hugged Emperor Mingde's legs and acted coquettishly.

He rarely acted like this. Emperor Chengde felt a little sorry for him and reached out to touch his head. "You... that's all. Go if you want to."

After leaving the palace, Yuwen Ji just returned to the mansion. Lu Yikuan pulled Yuwen Ji to the study and asked, "Is it convenient for you to talk here?"

Yuwen Ji was not sure what Lu Yikuan was going to say, but he knew that he was a sensible man. If he asked this question, it must be that what he was about to talk about must be something that should not be known by a third person.

After a whistle was blown, a dozen dark shadows appeared and divided into two groups, one group guarding the door and the other hiding in the treetops.

Yuwen Ji closed the door and said, "It's ok now."

Lu Yikuan smiled and shook his head, "Xiao Qi is still too naive to think that you don't like that position."

"I really don't like it. But the situation is pressing. If I don't take that position, what will happen to the children? Can't you see that the emperor used the Bai family to quell the rebellion this time? Master Lu will not be unaware of his intention."

"Yes, your majesty's move is cruel enough. He keeps saying how he dotes on Xiao Qi, but in the end he is using her." Lu Yikuan paused here and stared at Yu Wenji. "My master and I want to ask the prince what plans he has for Xiao Qi."

"The Bai family is now so powerful that it threatens the master. Whether they win or not, it will be a disaster for the Bai family. In the short term, my father will not take action against the Bai family. This is our only chance.

If there is a great victory, the three brothers of the Bai family are the best, and they will request to reduce their military forces. The position of the Ministry of War does not need to be replaced, just leave it empty. No matter how much the emperor fears the Bai family, after all, it is the princess's mother's family, and he will not refuse this respect.

I will discipline the child so that she can learn to be restrained. However, I don't think she needs to be too restrained, after all, she is pregnant again.

It's time for the Crown Prince to change his position. I know about the things he did in the past, and I have evidence of them.

I have always been reluctant to do it because of the brotherhood. Since my father is in such a difficult situation, I will help him.

If we lose the battle, I can still protect the Bai family in Yunjiang.

If the child is pregnant, it can also ensure the temporary safety of the Bai family. We will make plans then."

"Heh." Lu Yikuan sneered, "It's true that there is no soft persimmon in the royal family. My master and I are worrying about nothing. Since you have a plan, just tell me what you need me to do while I'm still here."

"Yumen Villa has always had a clean background. You guys should stay out of this. I don't want anyone the kid cares about to get hurt."

"Pedant! But I am glad that you always think of Xiao Qi. All right. You and Master go to the front line to take care of the pregnant woman, and I will stay here to take care of her for you."

Lu Yikuan smiled and threw a bunch of papers to Yuwen Ji, "I found this at your door."

Yuwen Ji opened it and saw evidence of the crown prince colluding with foreign vassals and uniting with underworld forces to deal with Wan'an Valley and Yumen Villa. "Thank you."

Picked it up? No one would believe it if you fooled the devil. Yuwen Ji had some of the evidences of Lu Yikuan and was still searching for some of them.

He made it into a story and gave it to Yi Tong, "Find a way to tell this to the storytellers in the teahouses. While I'm away from Beijing, find a chance to tell Maomao about the prince's secrets. Do it covertly so that no one can find out about us."

Treat those people in the mansion who were sent by the prince better, and let them leave on their own accord."

"You little dogs, let them out for some fresh air. You've been holding it in for so long." Yi Tong glanced towards the dark room in Yuwen Ji's bedroom.

Yuwen Ji knocked on the table and looked into the distance. "Okay. Let's go to the backyard. It's spacious there."

The person sent by the prince to monitor Yuwen Ji was only responsible for pruning the flowers, and his work location was in the backyard of the palace. Yuwen Ji's purpose was self-evident.

Seeing Yi Tong leading the dogs out, Yuwen Ji spoke again, "By the way, let Shufeng find a way to send that person to the East Palace.

Also let Shufeng tell that person not to approach the prince rashly.

If you lose something and then find it again, you must seize the right moment to appear, otherwise how can it be precious? "

On that day, Yuwen Ji and Long Guzhu left the capital before the city gates were closed. Because they were worried about Bai Yimeng, they rode as fast as they could along the way, hardly delaying for even a second, and shortened the ten-day journey to eight days.

As soon as he entered the Su Wang Mansion, Su Xiaobei came out to greet him. Yuwen Ji came to offer condolences as a prince, and also to convey the will of Emperor Mingde.

Su Xiaobei brought Concubine Su, her two half-brothers, and servants from the palace to receive the order.

"Your Highness, I, Su Jianyun, and my family respectfully wish you the best of health."

"Your Majesty, are you well?" Yuwen Ji took out the imperial edict.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that the King Su is loyal, brave and wise, has guarded Yunjiang for decades, and has made great contributions to the stability of the country... He is specially posthumously awarded the title of 'Loyal and Brave'. I decree this..."

Yuwen Ji took out another imperial edict.

"The eldest son of King Su Zhongyong, Su Jianyun, is intelligent and studious, wise and brave, and has made great contributions in protecting the emperor. He will succeed to the throne as King Su today, and I hope he will follow his father's wishes and serve the country. The three armies will return to the capital after their victory... I hereby decree..."

After the two decrees were read, Su Xiaobei kowtowed to express his gratitude.

Yuwen Ji helped Su Xiaobei up, "Please stand up, King Su. The decree has been read out, and I would like to pay my respects to King Su Zhongyong."

"Prince Yi, please come this way. Because the imperial decree has not yet arrived, the palace dare not handle the funeral without authorization, and only set up a small mourning hall." Su Xiaobei led Yuwen Ji to the mourning hall to burn incense, and then led Yuwen Ji and Longgu Master to the backyard. He knelt down and kowtowed to his master, "I am unfilial and made you worry."

"Get up. How old are you, yet you have to support such a big family business? If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me. Master and Wan'an Valley will always support you." He helped the man up and pinched Su Xiaobei's shoulders.

Su Xiaobei bowed to Yuwen Ji again, "Thank you, Prince Yi, for traveling thousands of miles to offer condolences to my father."

Yuwen Ji helped him up. "You and I are both princes, so there is no need to do this. You are the senior brother of my princess, and the king of Su has done a favor to her, so I should do this."

Yuwen Ji actually wanted to say, "I'm here to find my wife, can't you see?" But because of Su Xiaobei's face, he didn't say it in the end.

"Master and Prince Yi must have known that Xiao Qi is pregnant. I have no experience in this area, so I can only ask her to eat more and rest more.

I am more worried that she will fight with my two half-brothers. Although I won’t suffer any loss, I am afraid that she will be angry and cause miscarriage.”

"You are so talented!" Bai Yimeng just woke up and heard Su Xiaobei's ridicule of her. She pushed the door open and saw Long Guzhu and Yu Wenji. She smiled from ear to ear. She walked forward and knelt down to greet him, "Disciple greets Master.

The Dragon Valley Master helped the person up, "Hurry up. You are pregnant, yet you are still so careless."

Because the Su Wang Mansion was holding a funeral, Yuwen Ji couldn't be too intimate. He pinched her face and said, "Little girl, why are you so thin? Is it because of the little thing that's bothering you?"

"How could I lose weight? Xiaoliu almost fed me like a pig. I don't know why. In the first month, I was quite energetic and could run and jump. In the second month, I felt weak all over and always wanted to sleep.

My father appointed me as a vanguard officer, but I ran here to avoid idleness. I was supposed to help Prince Su with the funeral, but not only did I not help, I also caused trouble for everyone. "

Su Xiaobei knocked on her head and said, "Don't say that. This time, thanks to you, otherwise, I, an old man, really don't know how to deal with the gossips of the women in the backyard."

Su Xiaobei recounted the entire process of how Bai Yimeng helped reprimand Concubine Su that day and how he set rules for Prince Su's Palace.

Lord Longgu and Yuwen Ji listened to it as if it were a myth, and always found it a little unbelievable.

If the most unruly person comes to set rules for others, won’t people laugh at him if this gets out?
