The Adventures of the Crying Princess

It was the beginning of summer again, and Yuwen Ji was sitting in his study sorting out files. He suddenly became absent-minded. It had been almost three months since Bai Yimeng left, and he felt uncertain, as if the meeting that day was a dream.

Su Beichen climbed in through the window and said, "Left-behind child, your Xiaobai doesn't want you anymore."

Yuwen Ji punched him, took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from his nose, and continued writing the file.

Su Beichen wiped the blood from his nose and said indifferently, "Have you heard that Yuezhou Xishuiwu was razed by someone? It's really gratifying! Xishuiwu has been harming the people of Yuezhou in recent years, bullying men and women. The governor of Yuezhou is incompetent and has failed to suppress the bandits several times. This time, let someone destroy it."

"Is your information accurate?" Yuwen Ji put down his brush and stared, waiting for an answer.

"My cousin's family is in Yuezhou. Is the letter he wrote to me fake? Your Highness, your case has not been closed yet? Isn't it just a murder case? The evidence is solid. Why hesitate?"

"Human life is at stake, so we must not be careless. If we make a mistake, not only will the murderer go unpunished, but two families will also be harmed." Yuwen Ji simply put away the file and continued the previous topic, "Do you know who did it? I'm talking about Yuezhou."

"I don't know, no one saw it. I only heard that the other party's actions were clean and neat, and there was no sound around." Su Beichen grabbed a snack, took two bites, and quickly spit it out, "The milk pastry is too sweet."

After saying that, he seemed to react, "Is it for Xiaobai? Apart from her, no one else would like to eat such sweet food."

Yuwen Ji thought of the last time he met Bai Yimeng, and a trace of loneliness appeared in his eyes. "Now she has changed, and her taste may have changed too. I don't know if she will still like this."

"Hey, you two, it's been a rough life. I'm leaving now without eating."

After Su Beichen left, Yuwen Ji continued to sort out the files. Soon, another person came in from the window.

Yuwen Ji just thought that Su Beichen had returned, "Why do you regret it? Then continue eating."

Bai Yimeng knew that he was most likely talking about Su Beichen. She was so hungry that she didn't have the energy to argue, so she grabbed some snacks and started eating.

Yuwen Ji was so engrossed in sorting out the files that it took him a long time to remember that Su Beichen was still there. "This time it's about Yuezhou. Is there anything else you want to say?"

"You should replace the guards in your mansion. No one stopped me when I came in. If it were someone else, your head would have been taken away long ago."

Yuwen Ji's hand trembled, and the brush slipped from his hand, "Xiaobai?"

"My second sister-in-law is pregnant. I am afraid that if I go back with such murderous intent, it will scare my unborn niece. I will stay here for a while."

"It's true that your second sister-in-law is pregnant, but how do you know it's a daughter?" Yuwen Ji's heart was beating fast and he asked incoherently.

"I'm a doctor. I can take your pulse."

Bai Yimeng was dressed in black and holding a long sword. Her hands were covered in blood, and it was hard to tell whether they were hers or someone else's.

"Dr. Guo is at home. Let him take a look at you."

He wanted to call for help, but Bai Yimeng covered his mouth with his hand and said, "My wound is in a special place, you can take care of it yourself. Don't worry, it's just a superficial wound, otherwise I wouldn't come to you.

The General's Mansion is not what it was five years ago. My eldest, second, and third brothers all have family affairs. It's not convenient for them to know that I'm injured. Can you help me keep it a secret?"

"Okay. Xiaobai, you said that we can be friends. You asked me to treat you as Su Beichen. You said that.

It just so happens that I haven't applied medicine to Su Beichen yet, and my technique is pretty good, how about I do it."

Bai Yimeng thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Okay!" Suddenly everything seemed natural. Yuwen Ji took out the golden wound medicine and pointed at his clothes, "Show the wound."

"Well! My arms are restricted, so if you help me lift up my collar, you can see."

"My hands may be a little cold, don't mind." After saying that, he lifted up his clothes, revealing a conspicuous wound on his shoulder.

Bai Yimeng closed his eyes slightly, "Don't be afraid, I have treated the wound briefly, it shouldn't be serious now. Just do as I say. By the way, have you cut the meat?"

Seeing her wound, Yuwen Ji gritted his teeth and nodded. Bai Yimeng saw that he was afraid and held his hand. "I know this is difficult for you. If I can find someone else, I won't look for you. I say, you do it. Don't be afraid."

Yuwen Ji nodded slightly, "Xiaobai, I'm not afraid. I'm afraid of hurting you. I'll feel bad."

"Actually, this arrowhead is not big. I can force it out with my internal strength, but the wound is too big to heal." Bai Yimeng handed him a small knife, "Just think of it as Su Beichen's shoulder. It's okay."

Yuwen Ji nodded slightly and stopped talking. "This kind of injury is common in the army. I have treated it before. Do you want to bite it? It hurts a lot. Even men can't stand it."

"No need! I'm used to it."

Yuwen Ji's heart twitched, but he quickly calmed down and cut open the skin and flesh to remove the arrowhead. Bai Yimeng's body did not tremble at all during the whole process, as if he was asleep. When he looked up, he saw Bai Yimeng's face was pale and sweat was all over his head due to the pain, "Xiaobai!"

"Shut up! Apply medicine and bandage the wound. Hurry up while I still have the strength to control it!"

Yuwen Ji nodded, his hands shaking so much that he couldn't open the cork of the golden wound medicine. Bai Yimeng reached out and held his hand, "Your technique is very good, better than Sister Bohe's."

Bai Yimeng's palms were wet. Yuwen Ji forced himself to calm down, opened the cork and gently applied medicine to her.

After everything was done, Yuwen Ji took her hand to check. Sure enough, the wet liquid was not just sweat, but also a knife wound. "Don't move, Xiaobai..."

"I have taken over Yuezhou Creek Waterworks. This is a warning to other gangs in the underworld. I think no one will have evil intentions in the future.

After taking over the affairs of Wan'an Valley, I learned that Wan'an Valley was originally established by the previous emperor with the purpose of helping the court supervise the martial arts world.

No wonder Dad wanted us brothers and sisters to be his disciples. No wonder His Majesty gave face to the master, no wonder I love him so much..."

The first few sentences were normal, but at the end, I couldn't help it and it turned into gibberish.

Yuwen Ji picked the person up and put him in his arms, not forgetting to find an excuse for himself, "You asked me to take care of you."

Yuwen Ji then noticed that Bai Yimeng was already soaked with sweat and her hair was also wet. He found a piece of his own casual clothes and gave her some to change into. Seeing the shocking scar on her back, he seemed to understand why she was so sad that day.

I felt as if I was being eaten by millions of ants. I changed her clothes as quickly as possible, carried her to the couch, and lay beside her, accompanying her just like I did five years ago.

After midnight, Bai Yimeng woke up slowly, smelled a familiar scent, looked at the familiar arms, and felt warm in her heart.

She soon regained her senses, pushed the person away, noticed that her clothes had been changed, and trembled with anger. She turned around and jumped out of the window and left.

Yuwen Ji woke up only after the window was slammed shut. He looked at the empty arms and the flickering window, and immediately understood what was going on, and hurriedly chased after him.

The night seemed very long. Bai Yimeng had nowhere to go. His wounds ached slightly and for a moment he felt like a wandering ghost.

Sitting on a step, she was worried. A cloak was draped over her body. "I didn't mean to offend you, but you were soaked. I was worried that you would get sick, so I changed you into my clothes. I didn't expect you to look good in them."

"I'm not angry about that. I didn't have many scars before, so I always cared about a few of them. Now that I'm covered with scars, I don't feel any taboo about them anymore." Bai Yimeng didn't know why he said this, but he felt a little awkward today. He took out a pot of wine from somewhere and poured it into his mouth without even looking at Yuwen Ji.

Yuwen Ji snatched it away and said, "You are crazy, you are drinking alcohol with such a serious injury and blowing in the cold wind here.

I see that you are the same as you were five years ago, and you don’t know how to take care of yourself. Stop being angry and go back with me.”

Bai Yimeng was a little tipsy, so he took off his cloak and returned it to him, "I don't want to get too close to you, stay away from me!"

"Where's Jin Ying? Isn't he your personal guard?"

"Injured. Xishuiwu is difficult to deal with. Most of the people I brought were injured. It was my fault for commanding. I was too reckless."

"Come back, kid. I don't want you to suffer anymore. I promise..."

Bai Yimeng vomited. He drank too much and was exposed to cold wind, so it was inevitable that he would vomit.
