The Adventures of the Crying Princess

Yuwen Ji's voice came from the other end of the corridor, "Just because you contradicted the emperor, it would not be too much for your father to beat you to death."

Yuwen Ji was originally very angry, but when he saw the child's appearance, all his anger disappeared, "Open the door."

"Your Highness, this is against the rules." The guard stepped forward to dissuade him.

"Father said that he would find someone to apply medicine to the princess. I am the one who will apply the medicine. Do you have anything else to say?"

The door opened, Yuwen Ji rushed in, looked at the bloodstains on Bai Yimeng's body, said nothing, and touched her head, "It hurts, come, I'll apply medicine for you."

"No, go away." Bai Yimeng tried to move, but found that he couldn't move at all. Even after taking the painkiller, it still hurt.

"Shut up, you have no choice." Yuwen Ji took the curtain and hung it up, then tore open Bai Yimeng's bloody clothes bit by bit, "I will be very careful, don't be afraid."

Looking at the bloody mess, Yuwen Ji's eyes were instantly covered with mist. He rubbed her head and said, "Didn't I tell you to report my name if you get into trouble? Why are you so stupid?"

Seeing the man crying, Bai Yimeng suddenly calmed down for some reason.

He shrank back and buried his head. "In the willow forest, Maomao and his friends are watching those bad guys right now. Take my token and catch them quickly."

After a pause, she reached out and held his hand, "Don't worry, I'm really fine. Don't do anything stupid for me, and don't contradict His Majesty. I have Duke Liu to keep me company now, and everything is fine."

Duke Liu on the other side of the curtain smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Yes, the old man and the little princess get along very well, we will never fight."

After a pause, he told his nephew, "Sir, the Minister of Justice, remember to stay calm. I see that His Majesty has shown mercy, and this beating is just for your consideration."

His Majesty has also issued an order that no one is allowed to touch the little princess. Just focus on investigating the case, we will wait for you."

……

The next day, at Qing'an Palace,

Emperor Chengde pretended to be nonchalant, "How is the little girl? Have you asked someone to apply medicine to her?" The old emperor pretended to review the memorials, "Oh, this child is weak and cannot stand the cold. Tell the people in the prison to give her a thick blanket.

This little bastard only knows how to cause trouble for me. I made my words so clear, but she refused to listen and asked for trouble. Well, I'll take this opportunity to teach her a lesson, so that she won't be lawless in the future.

But... this girl is quite loyal. If it were someone else, they would have hidden away long ago.

It was the same with Zhenbei Hou back then. We all skipped classes together, and he had to step forward even though it was clearly none of his business..."

Thinking of the past, Emperor Mingde closed his eyes, "Little Chen, why are you so quiet today? Tell me, if the Marquis of Zhenbei were here and saw me hitting his beloved, would he fight me to the death?"

"No, the Marquis of Zhenbei is absolutely loyal to His Majesty. He knew he was wronged, but he never said a word against His Majesty.

Although the little princess is more lively, she is still a member of the Bai family, and her loyalty and bravery are still there. "Eunuch Chen lowered his head, not daring to look at Emperor Chengde, fearing that the old emperor would see his red eyes.

Emperor Chengde glared at Eunuch Chen, "Don't give me the cold shoulder. Do you think I want to hit her? Yesterday, I spoke so bluntly and advised her so many times, but she didn't listen. Who should I blame?

You go to the prison in person and see how the child is doing. Forget it, you can't explain it clearly, find some casual clothes, bring some medicine, and I will go and see it myself."

"Yes, I'll prepare it right away." Eunuch Chen was waiting for this sentence and prepared the clothes early in the morning.

Knowing that Eunuch Chen favored Bai Yimeng, the old emperor didn't care. Seeing the snacks on the table, he found a handkerchief to wrap them up and said, "Tell the imperial kitchen to make some milk tea."

Over at the Ministry of Justice's prison, Emperor Chengde was seen walking in, carrying large and small bags, as if he was on a spring outing.

As they were about to reach the cell where Bai Yimeng was imprisoned, the old emperor suddenly stopped and asked, "Do you think this is enough to eat?"

"Enough, enough, Prince Yi will soon find out the truth about the assassination of the Second Prince.

The little princess and Duke Liu can't stay in there for a few days." Eunuch Chen looked at the snacks and then at the milk tea, and was very satisfied.

Emperor Chengde still frowned, "Don't mention that old fool. He was fooled at his age. I get angry when I mention him. Because of him, I dare not look at the queen these days. It's all because of that old fool."

Eunuch Chen smiled and nodded.

After walking a few more steps, Emperor Chengde's heart rose to his throat, "What do you think we should do if the little monkey cries? I am not good at coaxing children."

"No, I see that the princess and the duke are having a lot of fun." Eunuch Chen nodded inside.

Bai Yimeng's voice was heard, "It's your turn, Duke!"

"Little brat, I surrender, okay? You win this game."

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid? You can still walk. Stop fooling me."

Ever since he knew that Bai Yimeng was beaten to save him, Duke Liu was somewhat moved. He also wanted to visit the deceased Zhenbei Marquis, so he had a better impression of this little girl and could not help but give in when playing chess.

Emperor Chengde was curious and walked forward quickly. He saw that Bai Yimeng and Duke Liu were in prison doors facing each other.

The two of them, one lying on their stomach and the other squatting, drew a chessboard in the middle aisle, using black and white stones as black and white pieces, and were playing chess. Both of them were masters of the inner family, so throwing chess pieces in the air was not a difficult task for them.

"You two are having a great time." The old emperor was both angry and amused as he stood aside and watched the two funny guys.

The two were so engrossed in their play that they didn't even notice Emperor Chengde approaching them. When they saw the emperor in person, they hurriedly tried to pay their respects.

Emperor Chengde waved his hand, "Okay, stop bowing. You naughty monkey, does it hurt to be beaten with a stick?"

"Of course it hurts!" Bai Yimeng turned his head away and said angrily.

This is exactly what Emperor Chengde wanted. He walked up to her and patted her on the head, "It hurts, and I'll see if you dare to disobey me next time.

That day, I told you not to bother with it, did you listen? You didn’t listen. This time, you’ve suffered a loss, you deserve it! "

Emperor Chengde was in the middle of scolding, and when he saw Bai Yimeng pouting, he immediately lost his composure, "Okay, why didn't you cry when I beat you? At that time, if you had just given in, would it have been necessary to do this? Now that you feel the pain, is it any use?"

Duke Liu saw the large and small packages behind Emperor Chengde and said, "Your Majesty, please stop teasing her. You brought so many delicious foods to comfort the child. It will be meaningless if you make her cry again."

Emperor Chengde remembered that there was another one here, and glared at Duke Liu, "I didn't say you were the one, right? You're still fooled at your age? If I wasn't afraid that the Queen would worry, I would have given you a few strokes to vent my anger."

While Emperor Chengde was talking to Duke Liu, Eunuch Chen had already brought out the snacks and milk tea.

"My Lord, this is for you." Bai Yimeng couldn't pass it over, so he saw Emperor Chengde standing beside him and said, "Your Majesty, please help me."

"This is what I gave you, and you're just giving it away like this?"

"Your Majesty, you brought so much, it's obviously for the Duke, so don't be so stubborn."

Emperor Chengde tapped her head and took out the ointment, "Lie down, I can't give you any medicine."

"Your Highness has already been there, there's no need." Bai Yimeng was indeed feeling much better now, and tried to move his body.

"Little Chen, go find a curtain and cover it." Emperor Chengde was so worried that he gently pulled Bai Yimeng's hair and whispered, "I am the same as your father. I watched you grow up, good boy, let me apply medicine to you, otherwise, I will not be at ease."

Duke Liu turned around and said, "Why do you want to beat her if you are so reluctant? It's really troublesome."

Emperor Chengde raised his head and glared at Duke Liu, "You two both deserve to be beaten, one is disrespectful to the elders, and the other is undisciplined.

By the way, I have seen what you found and have sent my third brother to check it out as well. We can talk about this later.

Little monkey, you didn't get beaten in vain. Intelligence came from Barbarian Territory that someone was offering a huge reward for your life.

The Ministry of Justice is your prince's territory, and it is the safest place. You stay here honestly for the next few days, and I will let you out when the storm has passed."

"Are they from Songgu Tower? I think it's them. Ah..."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chengde slapped Bai Yimeng in the face. The sound was so crisp and loud that Bai Yimeng burst into tears in pain.

The old emperor was so angry that he cursed, "You ignorant thing, you are trying to show off again, right? This time, it was the owner of Songgu Tower who issued the killing order. I heard that he also joined forces with other gangs.

If anything happens to you, how am I going to explain to your parents?

I owe you the Bai family, and I will save your life no matter what. If you dare to walk out, I will break your legs."

"Hmph, when you hit me, why didn't you think about how to explain to my parents?" Bai Yimeng rolled his eyes and turned his head away angrily.

Duke Liu found it somewhat amusing. In his entire life, this was the first time he had seen anyone dare to speak to the emperor like that.

Emperor Chengde pinched her face and said, "Child, are you stubborn? I've told you so much, but you didn't hear a word.

Why did I beat you that day? If you didn't ask for it, would I have done it? Anyway, if you dare to walk out of the prison, I will beat you for your father."

After a while, Bai Yimeng tugged at Emperor Chengde's sleeve and said, "I don't know the one from Songgu Tower, so I won't comment on him. The leader of Jiujia Village is a sworn brother of Songgu Tower, so he must come this time.

I fought with him before. The internal injuries on my body were caused by him.

I'm afraid that no one can beat this Jiujiazhai except my master and my second brother. As for the one from Songgulou, he probably won't be very weak either.

In short, if you don't let me out of this beating, I'm afraid many people will die. Your Majesty is a benevolent king. Do you want to hurt innocent people for Bai Yimeng?

Please let me go out and lock up Prince Yi in, so that he won't get in the way."

Emperor Chengde said nothing. He took out the ointment and rubbed it on her face, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long while, he finally spoke, "Do you know why I let you enter the palace to study? If you just want to be a princess, you can just call a nanny and live in the palace for a few days, just going through the motions.

There is no need for the Queen to take care of you, and there is no need for Aunt Cui to take care of you."

Emperor Chengde looked solemn, "Besides, there is no need for me to be angry or upset because of your misfortune, and there is no need for me to discipline you personally. Do you understand what I am doing?"

Duke Liu understood and nodded to the air, "Little Princess, this is the prison. Your Majesty has lived a lifetime and has never let anyone come in, let alone give anyone medicine.

Your Majesty is intentional in nurturing the mother of a country. This time when I returned to Beijing, I could see that Prince Yi had changed a lot, and I think it was your credit.

At first, I just thought that Prince Yi had grown up and had evil intentions. After meeting you and seeing you interact with him, I know that you will be a very good queen. "

"You presume to speculate on the emperor's intentions, old man. You deserve to be punished." Emperor Chengde scolded with a smile, looking down at Bai Yimeng, "Stay here honestly and reflect on yourself."

"Your Majesty, I still say the same thing. If you don't let me go, the capital will be littered with corpses. Those two are murderous demons with no humanity.

Even though my three brothers look good, they are not very good at fighting.

Please arrest them, Your Majesty, and wait until this matter is over. This matter was caused by me, so let me end it."
