The Adventures of the Crying Princess

The two little ones looked at the queen's face guiltily, and were so well behaved that they didn't even dare to breathe.

After dinner, the Ninth Princess took Bai Yimeng and bowed to the Queen, "Mother, let's go apologize to Aunt Cui."

The queen nodded slightly, "Go quickly and come back quickly, don't run around."

After leaving Fengming Palace, Bai Yimeng grabbed the Ninth Princess and said, "There's something wrong with the Queen. Princess, have you noticed her eyes? It looks like she's been crying."

"Maybe we were beaten, and Mother is upset."

Bai Yimeng secretly admired where the Ninth Princess's mysterious confidence came from? She coughed and said, "I'm worried. How about we take a look?"

After reaching a consensus, Bai Yimeng took the Ninth Princess up the tree, only to see the Queen sitting on the main seat, covering her face and crying.

"Mother seems very sad. It seems that she really loves us." The Ninth Princess frowned slightly.

Bai Yimeng didn't notice anything unusual, but she knew that it must not be what the Ninth Princess said. "How about we ask Aunt Yujin?" Bai Yimeng deliberately made a noise to lure Yujin out.

"Aunt, this way."

Yu Jin looked up and almost fainted from fright. She saw two little girls standing on a tree branch, calling out to her. If any of them made a mistake, she would not survive today. "Two little ancestors, please come down quickly. You two are trying to kill me."

Bai Yimeng grabbed the Ninth Princess' waist and jumped, landing in front of Yu Jin.

Seeing the two little ones land safely, Yu Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Little ancestors, it's so dangerous up there, don't dare to act so recklessly next time. Why are you two running here instead of apologizing to Aunt Cui?"

"Aunt, our mother is crying. We are worried and want to ask you what's going on."

Yu Jin subconsciously looked back and pulled the two aside, "You are still young, don't ask, go and do the errands assigned by the queen, otherwise you will be beaten if you anger the queen again."

"Didn't they say that Duke Liu is going to return to the palace? Your Majesty should be happy." Bai Yimeng thought about the recent developments in the capital and suddenly thought of something, "I heard that the Kingdom of Chen sent a princess to marry, but did she bully Your Majesty?"

"Don't make blind guesses, kid. Go and apologize to Aunt Cui."

Looking at Yu Jin's expression, Bai Yimeng was sure that she was the Princess of Chen, now Concubine Ying.

Pulling the Ninth Princess out of Fengming Palace and coming to Yufang Palace, "I heard from your third brother that the Princess of Chen lives here."

"Forget it, Xiaobai. If the queen mother knew about this, she would be even angrier. By then, we wouldn't even be able to cry in tune." After the Ninth Princess said this, she turned around and was about to leave.

"What are you afraid of? Just tell me, the Queen is being bullied, do you care?"

It was not until the evening that the two little ones arrived at Fengming Palace. When the queen saw them, her eyes were filled with anger.

“Xiaobai, didn’t you say that we wouldn’t be discovered?” The Ninth Princess turned pale with fright and poked Bai Yimeng gently.

Bai Yimeng lowered her voice, "It's not that. It's probably because we didn't go and apologize to Aunt Cui."

The Ninth Princess finally regained her confidence, breathed a sigh of relief, and took Bai Yimeng forward to pay her respects to the Queen.

"Have you two gone to apologize to Aunt Cui?"

“Yes!”, “No!

The tacit understanding between the two is almost zero.

"Very good, you don't want to apologize, and you still dare to lie. Yujin, take them to the side hall, and I will be there soon."

Entering the side hall, the Ninth Princess pulled Yu Jin's sleeve and cried, "Aunt, save us. Mother will not forgive us today. Aunt, save us."

Yu Jin pushed away the Ninth Princess's hand and spread the soft couch. "My two little ancestors, I have advised you two. Which of you has listened to me? Take off your pants and lie down."

"I don't want to, Aunt Yujin, please help me." The Ninth Princess burst into tears upon hearing this.

Yu Jin ignored the Ninth Princess and turned to leave.

The Ninth Princess cried as she explained, "If Mother arranges this, I will definitely be beaten severely. Xiaobai, what should I do?"

Bai Yimeng was unsure, so she tried to comfort the Ninth Princess, "Don't be afraid, I've been beaten often, so I have experience..."

The two waited for a long time, but the queen did not come. So they curiously lay down through the crack of the door and listened to the movement over there.

Emperor Chengde's voice came, "Empress, you are in poor health, and I ask you to take care of two children. It's really hard for you.

Logically speaking, I should help you discipline these two naughty kids. Huo'er was frightened when he first entered the palace, so I have to go and take a look. "

The Queen nodded slightly, "Your Majesty, please go. I will leave the two children to me. Princess Chen is young, so it is only natural for Your Majesty to pay more attention to her."

After Emperor Chengde left, Yu Jin came to the side hall and said, "Everyone, get up. The Queen said that today's matter is over. Please rest early, both masters."

When leaving the side hall, Bai Yimeng noticed the Queen's expression. She understood the Queen's mood.

The man she loved in her previous life was the same. For the sake of the country and the overall situation, he married another woman, making her wait year after year.

After the Ninth Princess fell asleep, Bai Yimeng came to the main hall and saw that the Queen was still sitting there in a daze.

Aunt Yujin was waiting outside the palace. When she saw Bai Yimeng, she hurried forward and said, "Princess Sui'an, why don't you go to bed? Go back quickly and be careful not to catch a cold." Yujin put a cloak on Bai Yimeng.

"I want to see the queen. I see that the queen is in a bad mood, and I want to talk to her."

Yu Jin looked towards the main hall and shook her head, "My lord, go back to sleep. The queen doesn't want to play with you today."

"I'm grown up, not a child anymore. I want to talk to my queen."

The Queen's voice came from the main hall, "Yujin, let her in."

Seeing that the queen was in a bad mood, Bai Yimeng bowed politely.

She understands all the rules, but because she is resentful in this life, she doesn't want to follow the broken rules anymore.

The queen patted the cushion beside her and said, "Come and sit down."

"Thank you, empress."

Bai Yimeng sat down at the queen's feet and asked, "Your Majesty, may I feel your pulse?"

The Queen tilted her head and glanced at Bai Yimeng. Seeing that she was serious, she shook her head and said, "I tried the prescription you prescribed for a while. It worked, but it was too bitter. I've had this problem for many years, and I don't think it will be cured."

"I heard from my mother that the Queen was once a female general, and she was very impressive in the battlefield. It was because of our Bai family that she was injured.

My medical skills are not perfect, but they are good enough. Your Majesty, you spared me a beating today, and I should repay you by treating you."

The queen was amused by Bai Yimeng and patted her face, "Little brat, you still know you deserve a beating. Today, you and the Ninth Princess both deserve a good beating.

It would be fine if you didn't go and apologize to Madam Cui, but you even dared to cause trouble in Yufang Palace. If it weren't for His Majesty's intercession for the two of you, none of you would have escaped being beaten today."

"Your Majesty, are you pleading for us?" Bai Yimeng didn't believe it at all. They had offended his new lover, so it was good enough that he didn't seek revenge on them.

"That's not the case. His Majesty learned that you two were going to be beaten, so he rushed over after dropping off the official documents. He persuaded me for a long time, and I couldn't afford to offend His Majesty, so I spared you two."

Bai Yimeng was examining the Queen's pulse as she spoke, "Your Majesty's weakness is due to emotional depression.

Since you thought the medicine last time was too bitter, I will give you a different prescription this time. Don't worry, Madam, I will not let anyone touch your medicine."

Yu Jin stepped forward and said, "Princess Sui'an, I am the dowry of the queen. If you trust me, why not let me help you? I have heard of your medical skills. The emperor was poisoned and the imperial doctors couldn't do anything about it. It was you who cured him."

Everyone saw Yu Jin's loyalty to the Queen. Bai Yimeng explained, "Aunt Yu Jin, Yimeng trusts you. To tell you the truth, the Queen's illness is difficult to treat for three main reasons.

One is depression, the other is old injuries, and the third is a slight tendency to poison. I don't know what the poison is yet.

Therefore, the fewer people who know about my treatment of the Empress, the better.

Furthermore, the Imperial Hospital has been in trouble one after another, and I don't trust them. When I was sick before, Master and Senior Brothers brought a lot of medicinal materials. Today my eldest brother's men are on duty, and if they are caught, I will be in trouble. I will go to get the medicine myself tomorrow, so that I can identify the authenticity of the medicine and ensure that it has not been tampered with.

But there is one thing that Auntie can help me with.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin hurried forward and said, "Princess Sui'an, please give me your orders. As long as you can cure the queen, I will not hesitate to die."

"Oh, that's too serious. It won't be that serious. Just prepare a set of night clothes for me tomorrow."

"I heard that Lord Longgu brought back more than ten carts of good medicine. This time the queen can be saved." Yu Jin knelt down happily and kowtowed, "I thank the little princess for her kindness."

"Aunt Yujin, please get up quickly. The queen loves me and it is my duty to treat her." Bai Yimeng helped her up.

The queen held Bai Yimeng's hand, as if she had a thousand words to say but couldn't say them, her eyes full of strong emotions.

Seeing that the queen looked unhappy, Bai Yimeng couldn't help but sigh, "Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell? My eldest brother said that silver needles are not allowed in the palace, so I didn't dare to bring them. Otherwise, two injections would have relieved the pain."
