The Adventures of the Crying Princess

Yuwen Ji looked gloomy, bent down and looked at Lord Zhang, "If the person standing here today was not me, but an ordinary citizen, you would probably just pin him to the ground and beat him up."

"I dare not, I dare not." Lord Zhang was so frightened that his face turned pale and he kowtowed repeatedly.

"Come on, stop knocking. If you don't know, you might think that I am bullying you by taking advantage of my power. I won't make things difficult for you. Just treat it as a case of offending the prince. I will deal with it as it should be dealt with."

If you offend the prince, you will be exiled at the least and exterminated at the worst. Upon hearing this, Lord Zhang peed himself on the spot, and the dirty liquid flowed all over the floor. He whimpered and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Upon seeing this, Madam Song immediately knelt down and apologized, "I am blind and have offended Your Majesty. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Yuwen Ji was about to leave with Bai Yimeng in his arms, but when he heard this, he turned his head and said, "This king does not bother with women, so let's leave it at that. Madam, take care of yourself in the future and don't bully the weak again."

After Yi Tong returned home, he waited for a long time but did not see Yuwen Ji return home, so he went out to look for him. When he arrived at the street corner, he saw this scene and hurried forward, "Master, are you okay? What happened to Brother Long?"

"Let's talk about it when we get back." Yuwen Ji really couldn't afford to lose face in front of this person, so he was about to leave after saying this.

Yi Tong saw Lord Zhang kneeling on the ground and kicked him hard twice, "Old dog Zhang, you are a real dog. You bully people, and you bully my prince?"

"Yi Tong is gone." Yuwen Ji said in a cold voice.

Before leaving, Yi Tong did not forget to kick Zhang Laogou twice.

Bai Yimeng hadn't slept so soundly in a long time. She opened her eyes and saw a strange man sitting at the head of the bed. She quickly shrank back, "You, who are you?" His timid look was heartbreaking.

"Xiaobai, stop making trouble. I have been thinking a lot during the past few days when you were away. We haven't seen each other for five years and we feel a little strange to each other. Can we start over?" Yuwen Ji smiled and reached out to pull Bai Yimeng.

Little did he know that from Bai Yimeng's perspective, this action was similar to human traffickers abducting children, "Ah... Help..."

Looking at the little girl who was frightened and crying, Yuwen Ji realized that something was wrong. This look was very different from Bai Yimeng's previous look. "Don't cry, I won't touch you. Tell me, where have you been these days? Who did you meet?"

He had seen Bai Yimeng's kung fu before, and it shouldn't be that easy. Looking at the little girl with panic in her eyes, who didn't seem to be acting, Yuwen Ji was puzzled.

"Xiaobai has been found?" Su Beichen broke into the room and saw Bai Yimeng with tears in her eyes, looking pitiful. He turned his head and looked at Yuwen Ji, "Your Highness, she is back now, why are you scolding her? You and I both know what happened that day, it was not Xiaobai's fault..."

"Go away, what nonsense are you talking about. Where did I scold her? Can't you see that? She has lost her memory." Yuwen Ji glared at Su Beichen.

Su Beichen would never believe this, "Impossible, do you think she is the Xiaobai from five years ago? You and I have seen how capable this girl is now."

"Wow...Mom, save me..." Bai Yimeng looked at the two strangers whispering, like human traffickers exchanging experiences, and the fear in her heart unconsciously doubled.

"Xiaobai, it's me, Su Beichen." Su Beichen came up with a shy face.

"Go away, stay away from me, you bad guy. I'm very fierce." Bai Yimeng curled his fingers and opened his palms to make the shape of a tiger's claws.

"Are you sure she has lost her memory and isn't stupid?" Su Beichen always felt that Bai Yimeng was very interesting. At least she wasn't aggressive and looked cute in a fierce and aggressive way.

Yi Tong knocked lightly on the door frame. The door was already open, and the two looked at him, "What's up?"

"My lord, Lord Su, the Minister of Justice, Lord Cui, has arrived, and he has brought some people with him. He said that he is here to arrest the fugitive under the order of the emperor?" Yi Tong's eyes fell on Bai Yimeng who was babbling.

As soon as Yi Tong finished speaking, Minister Cui came in with his men and clasped his fists, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was ordered to arrest someone. Please forgive me for my impoliteness."

After saying that, he waved behind him, and three or five soldiers came forward and headed straight for Bai Yimeng.

"Wait, what does Lord Cui mean by this? You said you were ordered to arrest someone, but what was the order? I still have my title, and it is inappropriate for you to trespass into my palace."

Yuwen Ji was always gentle, but he was not a pushover. With a glance of his cold eyes, the air in the room instantly dropped to freezing point.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. This is the order of His Majesty. I am only following orders. Please forgive me." Minister Cui handed over a piece of letter with the seal of Emperor Mingde on it.

"It seems that the decree did not say that Lord Cui can trespass into my palace." Yuwen Ji felt uneasy. The decree clearly stated that Concubine Shu was assassinated in the imperial garden this morning. Bai Yimeng had a criminal record, so Emperor Chengde naturally suspected her.

"Your Majesty is merciful and does not want this matter to implicate the prince. Therefore, he told me to go directly into Prince Yi's mansion and make a decision on this matter." Lord Cui gave a look that said 'I'm doing this for your own good'.

Yuwen Ji sneered, "Empty words are not enough, Lord Cui, please don't misrepresent the emperor's will.

I am a prince. If someone didn't know what was going on, they would think I had committed some heinous crime. You keep saying that it was my father's compassion, but what is your intention?"

Lord Cui simply said nothing and ordered his men to take the person away.

Yuwen Ji grabbed Bai Yimeng's wrist and brushed off the non-existent dust on his body. "I will not make it difficult for Master Cui. How about we go to the palace together and ask our father, is this what he meant or what you, Master Cui, meant?"

The most frightening thing is when a good temper suddenly turns violent. Lord Cui quickly knelt down and apologized, "I am rude, Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"Since trespassing into the palace is rude, then the decree is not so credible. If you are sure to arrest someone, then you should go into the palace with me." Yuwen Ji acted as if he would not let the person go no matter what you said.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid this won't work. The imperial edict has His Majesty's seal, and it cannot be faked. If you don't hand over the person, you will be guilty of the same crime. Then... it will be difficult for me to do my job." Lord Cui stiffened his neck, as if he had calculated that Yuwen Ji would not dare to disobey the imperial edict.

Su Beichen stepped forward and lowered his voice, "Your Highness, hand over the person first, and we can clear Xiaobai's name. If we disobey the order, we will be guilty of the same crime, and then there will be no one left to save Xiaobai."

Yuwen Ji pondered for a moment and nodded slightly. Two officers and soldiers came forward and took Bai Yimeng out.

"Master Cui, this young man is a capable general of the king. He is a bit playful, but he is not a bad person. This is probably a misunderstanding. Just like Master Cui's trespassing into the king's mansion was also a misunderstanding."

Lord Cui was a wise man. Upon hearing this, he bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will not wrong Young Master Long. However, this matter involves a noble in the palace, so I have to act according to the law. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Of course, I am also a law-abiding person. I just hope that you will not wrong her during this period."

"This is nature, this is nature."

Yuwen Ji tidied up Bai Yimeng's hair, trying his best to hide the fact that she was a woman.

After seeing Lord Cui off, Yuwen Ji and Su Beichen entered the palace together.
