The Adventures of the Crying Princess
Chapter 194 The Benefits of Being Thick-skinned
Bai Yimeng walked in, bowed to the queen first, glanced at Yuwen Ji, and went straight to the point, "In fact, the dead man surnamed Huang was a death warrior. He deliberately committed a crime and fell into the Ministry of Justice.
They deliberately found a group of gangsters and sent them to the prison to create the illusion of murder to silence witnesses, making people mistakenly believe that the Ministry of Justice prison was full of loopholes.
The Huang surname is not a good person, but an imposter who wants to give the impression that Prince Yi is not a good supervisor and is in collusion with the mob..."
"Hmm!" Emperor Chengde nodded slightly, "You did a good job."
Bai Yimeng knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Your Majesty, I am guilty of failing to supervise the Jianghu gangs. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
"I said you are innocent, get up."
"Your Majesty, the crime of Prince Yi colluding with people from the underworld can be serious or minor. If you don't punish me, how can he gain a foothold in the court?"
"Wan'an Valley was established by the late emperor. The late emperor's original intention was for people of the underworld to do things in the underworld. This matter was originally done in secret. What's the point of punishing you? Do you want to disobey the late emperor's will?
Get up quickly and stop messing around. I know you are forcing me to vent my anger on Prince Yi. You don't need to worry about this, just worry about your injuries.
Go find someone to give you medicine, and then change your clothes. I can smell the blood on you from a long distance away. And you are still being stubborn. "
Emperor Chengde really felt sorry for the daughter of an old friend, and his eyes softened when he looked at her.
"Yes!"
"Kid, there are clothes from my youth in my closet. You can wear them." Yuwen Ji propped himself up and pointed to the closet beside him.
"I won't wear yours!" Bai Yimeng wanted to wear it, but the emperor and empress were both here, and no matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't stand it. She glared at Yuwen Ji and turned away.
Not long after, he came in wearing a navy blue uniform.
Yuwen Ji took a look and chuckled, "Isn't this still my clothes?"
"Yi Tong, you dare to lie to me, just wait for me."
"Okay, stop it. I think it's pretty. What do you think, Queen?" Emperor Chengde knew that this girl was thick-skinned and she was just pretending to be shy.
The queen covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "I think your majesty has a good taste, both in people and clothes. It has been several months since we parted at the palace banquet. Come here and let me take a look."
"Yes!"
"Ouch, what happened to your hand?" The Queen looked at Bai Yimeng's left hand, which was wrapped in a mess. She thought Bai Yimeng was a child who couldn't take care of himself. After opening it, she found that there was only a small cut. It was obviously impossible that Bai Yimeng did it himself. "Which idiot wrapped it for you? I want to ask him what to do if it's broken."
"Uh... Your Majesty, let's forget about this matter. That idiot has been taught a lesson." Bai Yimeng glanced at Yuwen Ji, indicating that the idiot had already suffered a lot.
The queen nodded slightly, turned her head and saw her stupid son, she seemed to understand something, "You did it? How stupid!"
Yuwen Ji suddenly remembered what happened last night. Taking advantage of his mother's presence, he pulled Emperor Chengde's sleeve and said, "Father, I want to ask you a question."
"Say!"
"Father, can Wan'an Valley and the royal family intermarry?" Seeing that Emperor Chengde didn't understand, he quickly explained, "The child said that if she took over Wan'an Valley, she would not be able to marry her son. My son didn't believe her, so I wanted to ask Father."
Emperor Chengde did not answer Yuwen Ji's question, but looked at Bai Yimeng. He knew how heavy the burden was. He tried to smile kindly, but accidentally mixed bitterness with it, "You want to take over Wan'an Valley?"
"Your Majesty, listen to his nonsense. I am only talking about the future. For now, Master is still here, Xiao Liu is still here, so it is not my turn to be in charge.
However, someone will have to take over Wan'an Valley in the future, and I don't want to embarrass my master, so I decided not to marry, leaving him with peace of mind."
Bai Yimeng turned her head away and didn't dare to look at anyone.
"Wan'an Valley is in charge of the underworld gangs. If it gets involved in the court, it will lose its power. Third brother, you have to understand." Emperor Chengde did not dare to look at his son and daughter-in-law. He could not give them a satisfactory answer. "In recent years, the court has been stable, and Wan'an Valley has made an indelible contribution.
Third Brother, do you know that when I was young, Longgu Master and I were just like you and Su Beichen. But since he took over Wan'an Valley, we haven't met for more than 40 years. Even in private, we have hardly ever met. "
Emperor Chengde of the Ming Dynasty closed his eyes, as if he had anticipated something.
"Child, if you and I can never see each other again, how can I live? I regret it. If I had wanted you five years ago, would all this have happened?"
Yuwen Ji was so excited that he couldn't control himself. Bai Yimeng stepped forward and pressed his acupoints. "Calm down, you are injured, don't get excited."
Yuwen Ji grabbed Bai Yimeng's hand and pulled it into his arms, as if Bai Yimeng would run away the next moment. Bai Yimeng pulled his hand back, "You know, if we had really gotten married five years ago, I might not be alive today.
Time has passed, so I might as well tell you. The fight with Zhang Jiao that year damaged my internal organs, and the residual poison of the Soul-Breaking Pill was still in my body. My death was originally set, and it would be no more than a few months.
Later, when that happened, I slept for a long time. Master tried to save me by throwing me into a medicine barrel and adding ten times the amount of medicine. I actually came back to life.
For a long time, I was confused and didn’t know where I was or what I was doing.”
"No more, no more. My son, no more." The queen couldn't bear it anymore and sobbed softly while hugging Bai Yimeng.
A few autumn leaves slipped in through the window. Bai Yimeng reached out and closed the window, "Prince Yi, let's be lifelong friends in this life, just like you and Su Beichen."
Everyone in the room was silent. Emperor Chengde looked at the Queen, who bowed her head and said nothing. Yuwen Ji wanted to say a lot, but he didn't know how to say it. His thoughts were in a mess and it was difficult to sort out the ideas.
He didn't know, never knew, that he had hurt her again five years ago. Was he still qualified to give her anything? Was he still qualified to love her?
Prince Yi soon realized that he had been tricked by the liar again, "Okay, Su Beichen changed my clothes before, my clothes are wet, please change them for me."
Emperor Chengde secretly admired his son's wit and took the queen out.
"You are shameless." Bai Yimeng's face turned red instantly, and soon spread from her neck to her heels. She even felt that her very hair was burning.
Yuwen Ji stretched out his hand with difficulty to pull Bai Yimeng's hand, "Come here, my wound hurts. When I was beaten, I was sweating all over. Now I feel sticky and uncomfortable. Please change my clothes.
Last night, I changed it for you, so just consider it as a token of gratitude."
Bai Yimeng was speechless. How strange! This was the first time she heard that changing clothes was also a favor. She pushed the man away and said, "You have servants in your house, so you don't need me. Besides, I'm not a servant in your house."
Speaking of this, Yuwen Ji was happy, "You are. I still have your indenture contract here. Little girl, do you still remember how you entered the palace five years ago?
You are a guard in my palace, and it is written in black and white. If you dare not admit it, I will go to Jingzhao Prefecture to sue you. "
Bai Yimeng remembered and pinched Yuwen Ji hard, "You rebelled and you dare to sue me. You are in my hand now, aren't you afraid that I will add some seasoning to your medicine?"
The emperor and empress were listening with great interest outside the door. They had never thought that their silly son could actually have such a smart side. They gave Yi Tong a few instructions and returned to the palace.
Seeing Bai Yimeng approaching, Yuwen Ji pulled him in, but he used too much force and fell backwards and lay flat on the bed. The pain was like a thunderbolt, and tears immediately flowed down, "Ah, kid, my wound hurts, do you have any painkillers?"
Bai Yimeng looked gloating as she poked his distorted features, "Isn't it? It hurts just looking at you. Who told you to be a hooligan? You deserve it." She cursed him but still stuffed him with a painkiller, "Lie down, I'll reapply the medicine to you. You're such a fool, and you're still making trouble even though you're injured like this."
Bai Yimeng felt uncomfortable when he saw the bloody wound. Yuwen Ji's plan succeeded, so he didn't feel any pain. He pulled Bai Yimeng's hand and said, "If I become disabled, you have to take care of me for the rest of my life."
Bai Yimeng pushed the man away reflexively, and then immediately reacted. Yuwen Ji was in so much pain that he couldn't even scream, and he almost fainted.
