The Adventures of the Crying Princess

On the way back home, Yuwen Ji touched Bai Yimeng's head and said, "Little fool, don't you know that you will suffer if you contradict His Majesty?

I have thick skin and flesh, so I will just take a beating. Even if my father is angry, he won’t take my head.”

Bai Yimeng took a deep breath and lay on Yuwen Ji's legs, "Your Majesty just wants to vent his anger, it doesn't matter who he hits.

I get beaten all the time anyway, so this one doesn't matter. If you get beaten, I'm afraid you'll be gone as the Minister of Justice.

His Majesty knew this, so he chose to hit me. Not only that, His Majesty may not know who wrote this memorial to accuse you. But he had to protect the prince, so he had to let you down. "

There is another benefit to me standing up and taking the blame for you: your reputation will be preserved, and you can do whatever you want in the future."

"Don't say anything. Go to sleep. After all, I am the one who is sorry for you. I let you get beaten." Yuwen Ji took out a folding fan and fanned it gently.

"Don't say that anymore. Tell me a story. It hurts."

Hearing her cry of pain, Yuwen Ji felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. He gently kissed her cheek and said, "I will apply medicine on you. Please bear with it."

Bai Yimeng clutched her clothes and sobbed softly. Yuwen Ji knew that she was wronged and kissed her hand, "Be good, I will be gentle."

Bai Yimeng shook his head, "No, His Majesty has another intention today. I am just a tool he uses to contain you and the Bai family. I just found out today."

"Don't talk nonsense. Father loves you very much."

Bai Yimeng sobbed quietly and said nothing.

The next afternoon, Emperor Chengde fumbled with the chessboard and said, "Little Chenzi, go and call the little monkey to play chess with me."

"Your Majesty, you forgot that you beat the little princess yesterday." Eunuch Chen sighed, "I heard that the little princess cried all night, she was very pitiful."

Emperor Chengde said nothing, thinking for a moment, "Go and call Long Yi, and ask his chieftain to come see me."

Long Yi received the order and went out. Half an incense stick later, he returned and knelt down to apologize, "I am incompetent and failed to bring the person here.

The leader said, everyone will die in this life, so just treat her as dead and find another leader later."

Knowing that their leader had been beaten, how could they not go crazy? If Long Yi hadn't stopped them, Fifteen and Seventeen would have rushed into the palace to demand an explanation.

"Nonsense, you want to die after a few hits, this is outrageous. Xiao Chenzi, go find some clothes, I'll go take a look."

Eunuch Chen was happy, "Your Majesty, I have prepared the things for you a long time ago. I knew you would be reluctant to leave the little princess."

"You are the ones who spoiled her. She is getting worse and worse. If I had known it would be so troublesome, I would have just beaten the third child." At this point, Emperor Chengde sighed, "Go prepare some snacks and fruits that she likes. If I go empty-handed, she will probably cry."

It was not the first time that Emperor Chengde traveled in plain clothes. He arrived at the general's mansion with ease. The gatekeeper recognized the emperor and was about to pay his respects when he was stopped by Eunuch Chen. "Your Majesty is leaving the palace in plain clothes. You lead the way. Your Majesty wants to see Princess Sui'an."

Bai Yimeng was lying on the bed in a daze, and Bohe was fanning her. Emperor Chengde came in quietly and motioned Bohe to go out first.

Emperor Chengde took the fan and fanned it gently. Bai Yimeng asked in a daze, "Sister Bohe, my second brother and I have said so much, why don't you agree?

I know you are afraid that you will not get back the sincerity you have given. But if you don't try, how can you know that there will be no gain? "

Emperor Chengde shook his head and said, "After being beaten like this, you still have the mood to help people with matchmaking?

You little thing, do you get angry every time I hit you? Do you just want to bully me?"

"I dare not!" When Bai Yimeng saw that it was Emperor Chengde, she did not stand up or greet him, but pouted angrily.

"Are you really that angry? 'I am still angry. Is it true that you talk to the emperor like that?"

Bai Yimeng sobbed quietly, "You are the emperor, you can beat me or scold me as you please, and I am just a punching bag."

"You are talking nonsense again. You deserve a beating." Emperor Chengde patted her head. "I admit that I have wronged you this time. But think about it, beating you is the best way to solve the problem."

Bai Yimeng sobbed quietly, not saying a word or looking at Emperor Chengde, "Your Majesty, I don't want to talk to you anymore. Please go away. I'm afraid I'll say something wrong and get beaten again."

"Hey, I'm beating you for the sake of the court, not because I really want to beat you. Do you want to hear my reasons?"

Emperor Chengde knew he was in the wrong, so he squatted down and pulled Bai Yimeng's hair. "It's inconvenient to tell you more about what happened in the court. Anyway, I did this to protect the face of the crown prince and the third son."

"I understand. Your Majesty has given me enough face by saying this. Your Majesty, please go back." Bai Yimeng turned her head away and sobbed softly.

"I know you're feeling wronged, so I brought your favorite snacks and fruits, as well as milk tea. Would you like to try some?

If you are wronged, you can cry, throw a tantrum, and refuse to eat, and naturally someone will comfort you. But what about me?

My three sons are fighting for the seat. I have to keep the government stable to prevent them from sabotaging each other and destroying the foundation of the country.

On the one hand, I have to maintain the dignity of the royal family. Do you think I am old and confused? Don’t I know the conspiracy of the King of Qi? Don’t I know the extreme of the prince? Even if I know, what can I do? Kill the King of Qi? Depose the prince? "

Seeing that Bai Yimeng had stopped crying, Emperor Chengde squatted down and touched her head. "Okay, get up and eat. Remember, no matter how important the matter is, don't delay eating. The Queen Mother asked me to tell you this."

Bai Yimeng burst into tears again after hearing this. "I was beaten, how come so many people knew about it? Your Majesty, did you post a notice or announce it to the world?"

"You have no conscience. The Queen Mother is concerned about you. Who told you to scream so loudly yesterday? I wanted to keep it a secret for you, but I couldn't." Seeing that Bai Yimeng was no longer angry, he took out a bowl of wontons from the food box and said, "It's just made in the imperial kitchen. It smells delicious. Eat while listening.

Don't you know who Minister Jiang is? You set a trap for him, aren't you afraid of being plotted against in the future?

If I hit you, some people will not dare to touch you again no matter how dissatisfied they are with you, understand?"

Bai Yimeng nodded slightly and ate the wontons, "Delicious."

Bai Yimeng knew that Emperor Chengde was referring to the Crown Prince and the power behind him.

That list was clearly a cover-up. Lord Jiang was the prince's spy, otherwise he wouldn't have stolen the book.

"Your Majesty, I think if..."

"Shut up, don't ask questions you shouldn't ask, how many beatings do you have to get before you change this bad habit?

"These few days, you should rest and recuperate in your house, and don't go out unless necessary. I have something to deal with, so don't come out and cause trouble. Do you hear me?"

Seeing Bai Yimeng finish a bowl of wontons, Emperor Chengde felt relieved. "I have been out for too long. It's time to go back. Be good and take good care of your injuries. Don't always throw tantrums. You are so old now. You will get married next year. You are not a child anymore."

After leaving the room, Emperor Chengde called Bohe and said, "I know that you and the little girl are good sisters. I see that she looks unhappy. What's going on?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Although I am a commoner, I still have to follow the rules. If your Majesty wants to know, please ask Xiao Qi."

"Get up, you did a good job, I understand. Take good care of her. I was a little too heavy-handed yesterday. She is a weak child and I'm afraid she can't handle it. Please take more care of her, young lady.

I know these words are unnecessary. With your feelings, you will naturally treat her well, but I still can't help but say one more word. "Emperor Chengde looked at Bai Yimeng's room and turned away.

Seeing Emperor Chengde leaving the palace, Su Xiaobei pushed the door open and came in. "Little patient, things change. When you bullied me, did you ever think that you would suffer the same fate? I heard that you were beaten, so I came to see you. But it doesn't look too serious."

"Get out, I don't want to see you." Bai Yimeng grabbed a pillow and threw it back.

Su Xiaobei was about to fight back when Lu Yikuan dragged him out. "I've told you so many times that Junior Sister is old enough and you can't just go into her room casually. Why don't you learn your lesson? Go stand over there and practice martial arts." After Lu Yikuan finished talking to Su Xiaobei, he pushed the door open and walked in. "Xiaoqi, these bottles are good medicines for healing injuries at Yumen Villa. The red one is for internal use, and the white one is for external use, and you can't forget them."

Bohe directly pulled the person away, "She is confused due to the fever. You are telling her these things. Aren't you afraid that she will eat or apply the wrong medicine?" Suddenly she noticed his hand, "What's wrong with your hand?"

Lu Yikuan quickly put his hands behind his back and said, "I was running too slow to get the medicine, so my father hit me."

"How did you get beaten like this? Bring it here so I can see it."

Bai Yimeng stretched his neck and winked at Lu Yikuan. Lu Yikuan understood and complained pitifully, "I'm afraid of pain, I don't dare to do it myself. Otherwise... you can help me apply the medicine."

Bai Yimeng threw the bottle of white wine to Lu Yikuan. Bo He was completely focused on Lu Yikuan's hand and did not notice the little movements between the senior and junior brothers.

"You too, can't you say something soft?"

"About you, of course not."

"You're so smooth-talking. Go ahead and do it yourself." Bohe returned the medicine to him and turned away.

Bai Yimeng reminded with lip language: Chase after him and give him a hug.

In the past, Lu Yikuan would have refused. But that day he promised his junior sister that he would definitely catch up with Bohe. So, he gritted his teeth and caught up with her.
