The Adventures of the Crying Princess

Five days later,

The envoys from Xuan, Song, Lu, and Yueqi came to Beijing. The envoy from Yueqi was none other than their Pingnan King Yuwen Xi.

Emperor Chengde fainted when he heard the news. Bai Yimeng immediately went to the palace and took Emperor Chengde's pulse. After prescribing a prescription, she gently massaged the emperor and said, "Don't be angry, your daughter-in-law will help you vent your anger."

"You little rascal, what are you going to do? He is no longer a Daxing citizen. If anything happens to him, it will damage the reputation of Daxing." The emperor now wished he had never given birth to this son.

"Father, I am not stupid. You forgot that I have a little eagle, and the little eagle has friends. Its friends may not be very civilized and like to urinate and defecate anywhere."

"Bad guy." Emperor Chengde exhaled, "You didn't do anything else."

"Xi Le caught a snake yesterday. My daughter-in-law was afraid that it would scare the child, so she asked the golden eagle to throw it away. The golden eagle seemed to go in the direction of the mission."

Emperor Chengde frowned slightly, "Anything else?"

"Brother Hua, knowing that his daughter-in-law had given birth, wanted to come and see her, and brought a lot of his friends with him. When he passed by the Yueqi envoys, he probably wanted to say hello to Yueqi's Pingnan King, so he went to the posthouse."

The emperor didn't remember who Brother Hua was for a moment, and nodded slightly, "This person is quite polite. In fact, there is no need to be so polite. Since he is your friend, just come."

Bai Yimeng asked with a smile, "Father, you won't blame me, right?"

"Don't blame him. Although Yuwen Xi is no longer from Daxing, it is still right to say hello." Emperor Chengde sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Eunuch Chen's voice came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, Lord Su, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, and the Minister of the Honglu Temple request to see you."

"Please!" Emperor Chengde looked at Bai Yimeng, "Alright, I'm much better now, please kneel down and greet me."

"Father, your daughter-in-law is kneeling outside the palace. If you have anything, call her." Bai Yimeng said and walked out quickly.

Before Emperor Chengde could react, Su Beichen and the Minister of Honglu Temple entered the hall. Soon, Emperor Mingde understood what Bai Yimeng meant.

A group of wild wolves besieged the Yueqi Kingdom delegation, killing more than half of them. The Honglu Temple and Jingzhao Prefecture searched for a whole day, but did not find any evidence. The key point was that the group of wild wolves ran away after biting people. Jingzhao Prefecture and Honglu Temple could not find any evidence at all.

It is unheard of that a wild wolf would injure someone in the imperial capital, at the feet of the emperor.

Emperor Chengde knew that it was Bai Yimeng who did it, but he didn't want to expose it. He said a few perfunctory words about investigating the case thoroughly and sent the two away.

After seeing them off, Emperor Mingde sat alone on a chair, lost in thought. After a long while, he asked Eunuch Chen to call her in.

Bai Yimeng expected Emperor Mingde to be angry, so he had already prepared a thorn stick and handed it over in a pretentious manner, "Father, I was wrong."

Emperor Chengde looked at the bramble and threw it aside. "Tell me the truth, why did you do this?"

Bai Yimeng knew that the emperor would not hit her, so she smiled and moved closer to him, "In fact, the grudge between my daughter-in-law and him was resolved long ago when my daughter-in-law gave birth to Pinganxi. Since having a child, my daughter-in-law understands my father very well.

The daughter-in-law did this to vent her father's anger. If one day, my child betrayed the family, I might not kill him, but I would be very sad.

The daughter-in-law didn't let Hua Ge bite Yuwen Xi, she just wanted to scare him. The injured were all his men, and no one died. It wasn't that half of them were killed or injured.

The daughter-in-law is just speaking up for her father. What right does Yuwen Xi have to set foot on this land? What King of Pingnan? Didn't we defeat him in the battle of Yunjiang?"

Emperor Chengde took the whip and couldn't help laughing. It was so thin. It seemed that this girl was really afraid of being beaten. "Lie down. Although you have vented my anger, you have also violated the law. I will beat you twenty times to teach you a lesson."

"Father, please don't. My daughter-in-law has confessed, can you please stop beating her?" Bai Yimeng smiled and pulled at Emperor Chengde's sleeve.

The emperor smiled and glanced at Eunuch Chen, who understood and left. Emperor Chengde sat down and said, "Little monkey, to be honest, I have to thank you for what happened today. You did something I dare not do.

Yuwen Xi, this rebellious son, broke my heart. You helped me vent my anger, and I am indescribably happy.

But little monkey, the law of the country is the law of the country. If the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished just like the common people. Do you know that? I won't tell anyone, but I will beat you ten times, which is not too much. "

"If you don't tell me, and I don't tell you, how about we just leave it like this?"

At this time, Eunuch Chen walked in with small steps, "Your Majesty, the envoy of Yueqi State... Prince Pingnan requests to see you."

Emperor Mingde put down the bramble and glared at Bai Yimeng, then gave her a mask. "Wear the mask and stand beside your real body. Without my order, you are not allowed to move or speak."

"Yes." Bai Yimeng did as he was told.

Yuwen Xi, dressed in Yueqi clothing, a felt hat and riding boots, slowly walked into the imperial study. He looked around casually, and finally his eyes fell on Emperor Mingde.

Emperor Chengde was filled with mixed feelings as he looked at his former favorite son. The old emperor was filled with grief and anger at being betrayed by the person he loved most. But he still had to put on a smile.

"Your Majesty, I am honored to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Daxing." Yuwen Xi announced his new name in a rhythmic manner and bowed slightly.

"Your Excellency, there is no need to be so polite. According to the rules, the four countries' envoys will have an audience in five days. I wonder what you are doing here today?"

"The envoy will naturally come to see you in five days. I am here to visit my father. It has been many years since we last met. Are you doing well?"

"Your Excellency is too polite. I only have two sons, and no adopted sons. May I ask how you can call me father?"

Bai Yimeng noticed that Emperor Chengde was trembling slightly, so he took a step closer and transferred some internal energy to him from a distance. Emperor Mingde closed his eyes slightly and instantly felt much more comfortable. He turned his head and nodded slightly, indicating that Bai Yimeng was ready.

Yuwen Xi suddenly sneered, "Yes, I am your shame. You only like your youngest son, and I have no place in your heart. Father, you are so cruel that you even ordered me to drink poison. The ones who deserve to die are Prince Yi and his wife.

In the past, you and I were a loving father and filial son, and my mother was healthy at that time. Everything was Bai Yimeng's fault, and she was the one who should be killed.

"Father, you are old and confused. You should have abdicated long ago. Do you think that if I die, the court will be peaceful? But what is the truth? Is your court really quiet?"

"You rebellious son, you dare to control my court from a foreign country. You are so brave."

Yuwen Xi laughed, "Father, you only scold people with the same few words, which is really boring. You said that I am not good enough, but how about you? Do you dare to say that your ascension to the throne is glorious? Do you want your son to recall it for you?"

Yuwen Xi suddenly threw a silver needle at Emperor Mingde. Bai Yimeng stepped forward and flicked his sleeves to knock the silver needle off.

"How dare you kill your father?" Emperor Chengde was shocked beyond words. He couldn't believe that the person in front of him was his kind and filial son.

Yuwen Xi flew into the air, Bai Yimeng controlled him from a distance, and turned to look at Emperor Chengde as if waiting for orders.

Chengde closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Assassinating the emperor is equivalent to treason. Even if he is an envoy from a foreign country, you can deal with him at your own discretion."

Yuwen Xi seemed to recognize the face under the mask, "Bai Yimeng, you are really not dead. We have seen the Dragon Trapping Formation before. It's a pity that I was under an illusion at that time, so I probably don't remember it now." Yuwen Xi said a lot of things almost crazily, but no one could understand them.

"Girl, you can cripple his hands and feet, right?"

Bai Yimeng's other hand struck out from the air, breaking the tendons of Yuwen Xi's hands and feet. The sudden severe pain made Yuwen Xi faint before he could even scream.

Bai Yimeng slowly put the man down and turned to look at Emperor Chengde, "Father, you can keep him here. You can tell Yueqi that he is dead.

Yueqi would not go to war with Daxing for a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust person. After the battle of Yunjiang, Yueqi had no capital left to fight. Otherwise, Yuwen Xi would not have gone all the way. They have run out of tricks. "

Emperor Chengde nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll do as you say. Xiao Chenzi will take the person into the secret room, and this matter must not be spread outside."

Bai Yimeng walked forward and gave his mask to Yuwen Xi.

After Eunuch Chen took the man away, Emperor Chengde asked, "Why did you help him?"

"Father, do you think your daughter-in-law is helping him?" Bai Yimeng looked at the old emperor with a smile.

Emperor Chengde smiled and shook his head, "It was my fault. You are helping me. Thank you."

"If my child were like this, I would go crazy. He is the emperor's favorite child, and it is up to him to decide how to deal with him. The third child will not know about this, and my daughter-in-law doesn't want him to know either."

"Little monkey, come here."

Bai Yimeng walked to the side of Emperor Chengde and knelt down. "Are you sad? As long as you don't hit me, I am willing to be a listener and not spread the news. I also have something to say, but I don't want it to be spread. Can we exchange?"

Emperor Chengde was originally heartbroken by his son, but seeing Bai Yimeng like this, he couldn't help but smile. He patted her head and said, "I have so many children, but you, my non-blood-related daughter, are the most caring to me.

I won't hit you, let's talk. Tell me first what secrets you want to tell me, and I promise not to tell anyone."

Emperor Chengde took out some melon seeds and started eating them.
