The Adventures of the Crying Princess

Spring Palace...

In the main hall, the Prince of Qi was playing with a bird beside a cage, while Concubine Shu was fiddling with her kitten. "Son, will this trick work? Your mother has been acting for so long, but I haven't seen what your father has done to that kid. Are you sure that kid is really Bai Yimeng?"

"Son is sure. The spy that son sent heard with his own ears that the Third Brother called him Xiaobai. Mother, tell me, who did the Third Brother call Xiaobai?"

Concubine Shu rolled her eyes at her son and said, "Xi'er, I'm not criticizing you. Your logic is flawed. Come, let me analyze it for you."

Seeing that there were no outsiders in Chunxi Palace, Concubine Shu sat on the blue brick stone with her legs wide apart, writing and drawing on the straw paper with a red brush, "Since that incident five years ago, the third brother's behavior has been very strange.

Sometimes, he can be said to be crazy. The people you sent always heard him talking in his sleep and calling him "Xiao Bai". It can be seen that Prince Yi's brain is broken.

At this moment, it is a bit absurd to conclude that a man is a little girl who has been dead for five years just because he is too ambiguous with him.

Since the founding of Daxing, no medicine that can bring the dead back to life has been seen. If it is a sorcery or witchcraft, it would not be used five years later.

"My son, if you have time to spare, think about something else. Don't put your energy on these useless things. Think more about how to please your father."

"Mother, I have solid evidence. But the spy I sent to Prince Yi's mansion suddenly disappeared. Please give me some time, I promise I will satisfy you."

Concubine Shu gave the portrait to her son and said, "Come and see for yourself, is this Bai Yimeng?

At that time, Bai Yimeng was only twelve years old, but she was already known as a beauty in Kyoto. This boy is not only ugly, but also scary. "

The King of Qi looked down and saw that his mother had drawn a monster with a hairy face and a thunder god's mouth. He immediately felt unwell.

"Mother, it's not like that. People don't look like that." The King of Qi tried to describe Bai Yimeng's current appearance, "My son will not be mistaken. The third brother treats him differently. That person is definitely Bai Yimeng.

Didn't my mother say a few days ago that she saw a red ghost dancing and singing in the middle of the night? It could be her."

The mother and son were arguing heatedly, and the cat got frightened. It suddenly stood up and scratched the back of Concubine Shu's hand, then ran away.

Seeing his son fall into misunderstanding during the investigation and he couldn't explain it to her, coupled with the injury on the back of his hand, he felt bad in his heart and couldn't help crying.

Coincidentally, Emperor Chengde arrived here and heard the crying in the main hall. Without waiting for the eunuch to say hello, he rushed in directly.

I saw Concubine Shu sitting on the ground in a sitting position, and the King of Qi sitting beside her with a dignified look.

He was instantly enraged, "Rebellious son! Your mother is so ill, and you still dare to make her angry. This is really treasonous! This is really treasonous! From today on, the King of Qi will be punished to serve for three months, and you must reflect on yourself behind closed doors. Without my permission, you are not allowed to see anyone."

"Your Majesty, that's not the case." Seeing her son being punished, Concubine Shu was so anxious that she didn't care about acting. She stood up suddenly and grabbed Emperor Chengde's wrist roughly, "Xi'er is young and doesn't understand. You can teach him slowly."

Seeing Concubine Shu with disheveled hair and hairpins scattered all over the floor, looking like a mad woman, Emperor Chengde felt sorry for her and patted her hand, "Don't worry, my dear concubine, she will only be locked up for a few days. Children make mistakes all the time. It is important to take good care of her."

After saying this, Emperor Chengde glared at King Qi and left in anger.

……

On the other hand, after Yuwen Ji brought people back to the mansion, he first settled Tugou and others. He handed over the affairs of the mansion to Yi Tong, and left the mansion quietly.

The Dragon Valley Master had already moved to the house that Yuwen Ji had bought for him. The old man had been paying attention to his apprentice's affairs, and he was sure that Yuwen Ji would come to find him.

Seeing the two people come in, he squinted his eyes and looked at Yuwen Ji, "How is my little Qi now?"

Yuwen Ji did not dare to hide anything and told the old man everything about Bai Yimeng's situation.

The old valley master was not angry, but just snorted coldly, "It's come to this point, there's no point in saying more. I wonder if Prince Yi has any good plan?"

"In reply to the old Valley Master, I really have no idea what to do, so I came to ask the old Valley Master for advice."

"Oh, you didn't care about Xiao Qi at all. You didn't even bother looking for him after he was missing for so many days. Now you've become a fool and you've been caught again, and you only think of the old man? Our Xiao Qi is really blind to fall for such a thing."

After saying this, Dragon Valley Master clapped his hands and called a little boy over, "Go, call the Fifth Master and the Sixth Master."

Soon, two young men in white arrived at the villa. They both bowed and said, "Greetings, Master."

The two people were Bai Yimeng's fifth senior brother Luo Jingran and sixth senior brother Su Xiaobei.

"You all know about Xiaoqi's affairs, right?" Master Longgu took a sip of tea nonchalantly.

Luo Jingran had noticed Yuwen Ji a long time ago, and he gnashed his teeth and looked like he was ready to eat someone. "Disciple knows about this. But without Master's permission, I dare not act on my own."

This seemed to mean that as long as Lord Longgu gave the order, he could tear Yuwen Ji into pieces.

Su Xiaobei came up behind Yuwen Ji at some point and kicked him when he was not prepared. "Master, if you give the order, Xiaoliu will beat that bastard to death. If you dare to bully our Xiaoqi, I don't care whether you are a prince or not."

"Xiaoliu, stop messing around." Luo Jingran felt relieved when he saw this, but he still had to hold Su Bei back.

"Okay, let's first investigate the case and rescue Xiao Qi, and we'll consider the rest later." Dragon Valley Master agreed with Su Bei's approach in his heart, and glanced at Yu Wenji indifferently, "Since Your Majesty can't find out anything, there's no need for you to stay, go back.

From now on, please stay away from my Xiaoqi. Our child is young and ignorant, and it would be bad if he offended the noble man."

"Master Long, what can I do?" Yuwen Ji felt guilty and did not dare to refute.

"If we can't even figure out a case, what else can we do?" Su Xiaobei and Bai Yimeng are of similar age and have similar personalities; both are a bit stupid.

"Xiao Liu, stop talking." Luo Jingran secretly pinched Su Bei and pulled him behind him, as if he was afraid that Yu Wenji would bite Su Xiaobei.

"Old Valley Master, can I talk to you alone?"

Lord Long was angry, but for the sake of his disciple he agreed to communicate with Yuwen Ji.

The final result of the discussion between the two was that Su Xiaobei and Luo Jingran followed Yuwen Ji back to Prince Yi's Mansion to assist in the investigation of the case.

"Brother, do you think our Master has become senile and confused? Why did he believe this man's lies?" Su Xiaobei's eyes were full of disbelief.

Luo Jingran knocked him on the head and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Master is also trying to save Xiao Qi. The situation in the capital is complicated. How can you and I save people?"

Su Xiaobei rubbed his head and muttered, "Just kidnap the person and that's it. Why are there so many twists and turns?"

"What are you talking about?" Luo Jingran came over with another large sum of money.

Su Xiaobei cleverly went around behind Luo Jingran and said, "Fifth brother, why did you hit me? Saving Xiaoqi is the most important thing right now."

Luo Jingran was the son of Luo Huainan, the richest man in the capital. The next day, he returned to Luo's mansion and called a group of servants to spread rumors secretly, saying that there were villains who abducted women in the city.

It seems to be a move to alert the snake, but in fact it is to lure it out of its hole.

According to Yuwen Ji, the other party was probably an organized human trafficking gang.

Although the true identity of the leader behind the scenes is unknown, the fact that he dared to set up a hideout in Prince Yi's manor shows that he is not a nobody and has some kind of deep hatred for Prince Yi.

That afternoon, Yuwen Ji received information from the owner of Yuelanxuan that five days ago, a young man who looked very similar to Bai Yimeng was listening to music here, and then for some reason, he got into a fight with another customer.

The boss tried to mediate but to no avail, and the two almost turned the whole teahouse upside down. The boss and the waiter were so frightened that they hid under the counter and didn't dare to come out until there was no more noise.

Su Beichen asked the city gate guards, but they found out that the guard on duty that day had died of coal smoke poisoning at home yesterday. The other guards knew very little about what happened that day.

I only know that when I opened the city gate that day, I felt as if the door was blocked by someone, and it took some effort to push it open. After I pushed it open, I noticed that it was actually a sack.

At that time, it was still dark, and the guards could not see clearly whether there was a person or something inside the sack, so the guards dragged the sack aside that day.

When the sack was being dragged, an arm was stretched out, and the guard was paralyzed with fear. It was only then that everyone noticed that there was a living person in the sack.

Su Beichen came to the home of the guard who was on duty that day. The mourning hall was set up in the main room. The guard had few family members, except for his wife and a pair of children.

Su Beichen's arrival as the Shao Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture surprised all the mourners.

The deceased's wife cried so hard that she couldn't get anything out of her. Su Beichen still noticed that she had put on light makeup, which was obviously not for any other reason, but simply to look more haggard.
