The Adventures of the Crying Princess

After coaxing Bai Yimeng away, Lu Yikuan returned to his serious demeanor and said, "I have to go back to Yumen Villa in the next few days.

Don't worry, my lord. I will leave a few people with you. If anything happens, let them contact me."

Seeing that Lu Yikuan was in a bad mood, Yuwen Ji guessed that it was probably related to the young lady of Lijiazhai, "If you really don't like the young lady of Lijiazhai, you can tell your father directly."

"Your Highness, you don't know that my father would be half as open-minded as Your Majesty. My father has been tough all his life and always sticks to his word."

Logically speaking, seeing Lu Yikuan like this, Yuwen Ji should be happy and curse inwardly: You deserve it, you deserve this.

But he couldn't help but feel very sympathetic towards him, "What do you need me to do?"

"What can Your Majesty do? Just take care of yourself and don't forget the contents of the letter." Lu Yikuan patted Yuwen Ji's chest.

"Lu Laoer, is your father as fierce as my eldest brother? My eldest brother is so fierce that he almost beat me up yesterday." Bai Yimeng turned back without knowing when.

"How dare you tell me why Yinan was angry yesterday? Wasn't it because you played with fire? How dangerous was it? You almost set yourself on fire.

Your second senior brother is... an adult matter, you won't understand even if I tell you."

The contents of the letter reappeared in my mind. I tried hard to put on an ugly smile.

He soon realized that he had to remain calm and keep everything as usual.

It seemed as if the little fool didn't care about this. "Why shouldn't I understand? Isn't it just that Lu Lao Er was forced to get married? This matter is easy to solve. Just find a wife and go back."

"It's not as easy as you say. Do you think we are going to the vegetable market to buy radishes? Just pick one at random." Yuwen Ji smiled and tapped her head.

"Sister Bohe is very nice. She is beautiful and kind, and she has a sweet smile. Her cooking is also delicious." The little fool was chewing an osmanthus cake in his mouth.

Yuwen Ji knocked on her head, "Xiaobai, what do you know? If you keep talking nonsense, I will tell your elder brother to beat you up."

"Okay, let's not talk about her. If you're not mentally ill, you shouldn't say this." Lu Yikuan blinked at Yuwen Ji, with a hint of sadness between his brows.

Bo He and Lu Yikuan were childhood sweethearts and were originally engaged. Unexpectedly, before the wedding, Bo He's father was chased by his enemies and jumped off a cliff to his death. Her mother fell ill and soon followed her father.

Coincidentally, Yumen Villa was in a precarious situation at that time, so they chose to avoid it. Bohe, who was desperate, was rescued by Dragon Valley Master, and from then on, her relationship with Lu Yikuan was over.

"Why did Lu Lao Er leave?" Bai Yimeng's eyes were clear, and she hugged Yuwen Ji's arm and acted like a spoiled child.

"The four of us are all miserable people."

Bai Yimeng didn't understand, "Miserable life? Then let me taste what it feels like." She bit Yuwen Ji's wrist.

Yuwen Ji patted Pat's head and picked him up. "Come on, I'll take you to plant ducks. After planting ducks, you have to practice martial arts. Your eldest brother will come to check in the evening."

Bai Yinan suggested that she practice martial arts, just to evoke memories through familiar things. After all, Bai Yimeng used to be a martial arts fanatic.

At the moment, Yuwen Ji had other ideas. Perhaps he could use this to test the waters.

The two of them were busy preparing the "ducks", that is, the saplings. Wang Xun came running to pass on the message, "Sir, the Minister of Justice, Mr. Cha, is here and is in the study now."

News came this morning that after King Mu attended the morning court, he went to Xilexuan for tea and somehow encountered the assassin.

It is said that the assassin was ruthless and would not stop until he killed King Mu. Fortunately, the people from Jingzhao Prefecture arrived in time, otherwise King Mu would have lost his life long ago.

The incident was a big deal, so Jingzhao Prefecture naturally had to report it to the Ministry of Justice. Since Yuwen Ji was not at the government office, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice naturally had to travel back and forth between the government office and the palace, taking on the responsibility of passing on information.

After listening to Wang Xun's words, Yuwen Ji turned his head and looked at the little girl, "I have something to do, can you plant it yourself?"

Bai Yimeng was having a great time and didn't seem to care too much about Yuwen Ji's words. He nodded and said, "You go ahead. Yi Tong can play with me, too."

Yuwen Ji wiped her face and said, "You are feeling better now, don't work too hard, go to sleep if you are tired."

"Uh-huh."

……

In the study, Master Cha and Su Beichen were chatting. Su Beichen often came uninvited, and Yuwen Ji had long been accustomed to it.

"I have found out that the people who attacked King Mu are from the underworld. They are very skilled. It seems like they were organized and premeditated. Lord Cha suspects that they were from a certain underworld gang."

Su Beichen came straight to the point, hinting to Yuwen Ji that Minister Cha was planning to make a fuss about Wan'an Valley.

"There are many underworld gangs in the capital. What do Lord Su and Lord Cha think?" Yuwen Ji seemed to be asking for opinions, but in fact he was testing them.

After all, Master Cha had been in the political arena for more than 20 years, so he naturally knew some official rhetoric. Seeing Yuwen Ji say this, he immediately defended himself, "Although the Qianyu Pavilion has collapsed, the remnants are still there. In addition, the remnants of Songgu Tower have not been eliminated yet. It is possible that one of them did it intentionally.

As for Wan'an Valley, they have always kept a low profile. Not only are they the master of Sui'an County Lord, they have also made great contributions to the peace of the capital. Naturally, they are not the ones. "

Yuwen Ji didn't say anything, but glanced at Su Beichen. Su Beichen immediately returned to his serious look, "I have found out that most of the assassins gathered in Maoer Hutong at the entrance of West Street, and I have sent people to keep an eye on them. I will report back to Your Highness when I have the news." Su Beichen blinked and turned to leave.

After walking around for a while, he returned to the study room after Master Cha left. "The man surnamed Cha is not honest. Your Majesty, please don't be fooled by him. I heard that his concubine has some interest in Yuwen Xi.

This old fellow is very playful. He secretly fawned over the concubine of the Duke of England and has learned everything about the Duke's preferences.

But don't forget that the daughter of the Duke of England still admires Yuwen Xi.

Although Yuwen Xi no longer has Juewei, his treatment has not decreased at all. I heard that he sent a pair of jade unicorns to your majesty the other day. There are also many ancient treasures and rewards. I heard that they are from your majesty’s private treasury.”

A trace of bitterness flashed in Yuwen Ji's eyes, and he quickly let out a breath, "Knowing this, you still told Lord Cha about the incident in Maoer Hutong? Aren't you afraid that he will kill you to silence you?"

"That's just a cover. We're just waiting for Yuwen Xi to bring people there. If he doesn't go, how can I close the net?"

Su Beichen grabbed the osmanthus cake and started eating. "By the way, how is Xiaobai? Is she feeling better? I've been busy with cases these days and haven't had time to visit her."

"It's good that you didn't come. She doesn't remember who you are anyway. I guess she doesn't think anything of my disappearance for a few days." Yuwen Ji was still playing with the brush, as if he was worried about something.

"Don't be discouraged, everything will be fine." Su Beichen put down the pancake, "Actually, it's good for her to be like this, at least she won't have to worry about her life anymore.

I can't speak, but after what happened last time, I feel that being alive is better than anything else."

"Well said, it's good to be alive." Yuwen Ji raised his eyebrows, "How are the preparations for the examination next year?"

Su Beichen raised his head and said, "Don't mention this matter. I feel overwhelmed when I mention the imperial examination. My old man has been testing me every time he sees me recently.

I'm busy with cases during the day and have to memorize lessons at night. Do you think it's easy for me?

You know my father well, my Lord. He will never do anything to me. These past few days, I have been living in dire straits. "

"Big Black Bear! Are you free?" Bai Yimeng's voice came from the window.

"Come in, look who's here?" Yuwen Ji waved his hand with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

As soon as Bai Yimeng entered the study, he stared at Su Beichen, "You, who are you?"

"Guess." I originally wanted to say it directly, but seeing Bai Yimeng's look, I couldn't help but tease him.

Bai Yimeng sniffed his clothes, pinched his face, opened his eyelids and looked at him, then looked at Su Beichen's palm, "Are you a big white goose?"

Su Beichen had thought of countless answers, but had never thought of this one.

Yuwen Ji laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back.
