The Adventures of the Crying Princess

Lying on the bed, Bai Yimeng just felt unhappy. Some things are one thing to understand yourself, and another thing to hear others say them.

Her mind was in a mess and she felt groggy, so she didn't even know when Yu Jin came in.

Yu Jin touched Bai Yimeng's head and whispered, "Your Majesty, I don't want to talk about this. He is the emperor, and he is responsible for the whole world.

Although he believes in you, he doesn't dare to gamble. Those words are just a warning to you not to overstep your authority in the future and to stick to your duties as a subject.

In fact, it's not just you, all the princes and princesses are like this. It's just that His Majesty dotes on you so much that I just haven't had the heart to say these words out loud."

"Aunt, you are joking. My surname is Bai and I am not your Majesty's child. How dare I compare myself with the emperor's grandsons and nobles. Aunt, you are embarrassing me." Bai Yimeng felt uncomfortable and didn't intend to buy anyone's story.

Yu Jin touched her head, "Princess Sui'an, don't say angry words. How does His Majesty treat you on a daily basis? You don't need to tell me, just tell me yourself. How can a servant dare to talk back to His Majesty?

May I say something disrespectful, but please go and ask around and see if the King of Qi ever did this when he was most favored?

There is no way, this is the rule of the royal family. They are the emperor and his subjects, and they are also father and son. There is no need to mention other princes and princesses, and His Majesty has never mentioned it.

The only problem is you. His Majesty is afraid that you may be too playful and lose control for a while, and really commit some big taboo. He is afraid that he will not be able to protect you then.

Little Princess, His Majesty is very worried about you. The two masters are not asleep either, would you like to go and take a look?"

"I'm injured and it's not convenient for me to walk." Bai Yimeng looked at Ruanta and recalled the scene five years ago when he and the Ninth Princess learned the rules here.

She recalled the scene when she was beaten and the queen applied medicine to her and held her to reason with her. She felt uncomfortable and turned her head away, not looking at anyone.

After a while, "Aunt, please help me. I really can't stand up."

Yu Jin smiled and hurried forward to support her. Bai Yimeng had grown taller, but her body was still as thin as when she was a child. "My princess has lost a lot of weight. I remember you were this heavy five years ago."

"Aunt, I'm not going. It's better for Your Majesty to stick to my duties as a subject. I don't want Your Majesty to be embarrassed.

Please tell your majesty that you should go back to your residence and reflect on yourself tomorrow morning when the palace gates are open. This time, I have crossed the line and should not interfere in court affairs.

I forgot everything that Second Senior Brother taught me. People in charge should not let their emotions get in the way. This time I was wrong.

I am ashamed to face your Majesty and your Majesty's love. Please tell your aunt the truth."

Emperor Chengde and the Empress were in the main hall and heard Bai Yimeng's words clearly.

"She's blaming me, that's fine. Girls shouldn't be fighting and killing all day. That's fine too."

Emperor Chengde's words "Okay" sounded harsh. He had wanted to do this for a long time but had never had the heart to do it.

I took this step on impulse this time. I felt a little regretful at first, but now it seems just right.

Being favored will surely cause jealousy, but now he is in good health and can protect her.

But who will protect her when the crown prince ascends the throne? The third son? Emperor Chengde doesn't trust this son.

Only by pushing Bai Yimeng away can she leave a glimmer of hope for her future.

Su Xiaobei's statement and the anger of the Bai brothers were what he wanted.

The purpose is to let the future crown prince know that even without this old guy like him, Bai Yimeng will still have someone to protect him.

"Your Majesty, the little girl will understand you in the future. She is so smart, how could she not know that you are protecting her."

"Even Xiao Chenzi has been harmed like this, I don't want her to get too close.

This child is stupid and stubborn. He might not even know that he is being plotted against." Emperor Chengde closed his eyes, looked outside the palace, and muttered to himself, "I feel sorry for my old friend. I can only do my best to protect his most precious person."

Yu Jin stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the little princess says..."

Emperor Chengde was immersed in his thoughts and didn't want to be interrupted, so he replied casually, "Anything she wants is allowed. If she wants to leave the palace, she can leave.

It’s time for Xiaojiu to leave the palace and build her own residence. Queen, don’t be reluctant. When the children grow up, they must be allowed to fly on their own.”

The queen nodded slightly, her eyes full of reluctance.

Yu Jin returned to the side hall and told Bai Yimeng the result. Bai Yimeng nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work during this period, aunt."

Having not slept the night before, Emperor Chengde seemed a little listless at the next morning's court session.

Prince Ying rarely attended the morning court because he did not hold an important position in the court. But today, for some reason, he suddenly came.

Eunuch Chen shouted, "If you have a document, please present your report. If you don't, please leave the court."

Then Prince Ying stepped out of the line and bowed, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask how your Majesty is doing."

Emperor Chengde frowned slightly, "I am fine. Prince Ying does not need to come to court to pay his respects. Just hand in a letter of greeting."

"I dare not be lazy. I heard last night that there was a thief in the palace. There was a huge commotion inside and outside Fengming Palace.

Since ancient times, when a monarch humiliates his subjects, they will die. When I heard about this, I immediately came to ask Your Majesty, "Is everything okay?"

This is clearly saying: I did it, what can you do to me?

Emperor Chengde was so angry that he was shaking all over, his face was ashen, "Asshole, how can a prince like you wantonly pry into the affairs of the palace?"

Seeing the emperor's wrath, all the civil and military officials knelt down to plead guilty. Only Prince Ying did not kneel down, "Brother, why are you angry? The previous emperor exiled many relatives in order to make you the crown prince. Fortunately, I was young at that time and escaped.

Now, I would like to ask for an explanation for my deceased brothers and sisters. It is not too much to ask, right?

Over the years, you have been wholeheartedly pursuing benevolence, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, but we, your clan members, have been suppressed beyond recognition by you.

You favored foreign officials and adopted the daughter of a guilty minister, which caused the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people, and led to the unrest in recent years.

My brother, you should give way to others. Now that things have come to this, I might as well tell you that it was I who arranged for Eunuch Chen to be thrown into the dry well, and it was also I who arranged for the fake one last night.

The rebellion was also intentional on my part, just to create rift between my brother and the Bai family.

You see, the goal has been achieved. The three brothers of the Bai family have all asked for leave today, and your precious little girl has also left the palace.

Now, I want to see who can save you."

"Fifth brother, why are you like this? I have treated you well." Emperor Chengde looked around the court and found that even Yuwen Ji did not come today.

The prince's martial arts were mediocre, so he couldn't be relied upon at all. There was no one in the whole court who could be used. I couldn't help but feel cold in my heart.

"No reason. Just think of it as a sudden urge on my part to change my identity for fun." Prince Ying looked giggling, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

"Someone come! Someone come!" Emperor Chengde shouted several times, but there was no sound outside the palace.

"Your Majesty, are you calling for your guards? They should have been killed by my men by now." Prince Ying looked around and said, "If the ministers present want to survive, they have no choice but to support me. Please express your opinions."

Almost no one among the officials was moved.

"Good! Very good! I will be sorry to you all if my people rush in later." Prince Ying laughed loudly, his smile almost crazy, "My brother, are you ready? Should we abdicate now or wait a little longer?"

"How could a traitor like you appear in my Daxing? I will not abdicate, and I will not hand over the country of my ancestors to someone like you."

Prince Ying shook his head as if he was watching a helpless child speaking in anger, "Your Majesty just called for someone, but he didn't come. How about I give it a try?"

After saying that, Prince Ying clapped his hands and shouted, "Someone come!"

No one responded for a long while.

All the civil and military officials in the court looked at each other in confusion, and no one knew what was happening outside.

Prince Ying was furious. Seeing that the situation had come to this, he had to rebel even if he didn't want to. He drew his sword and rushed to the Golden Throne Hall.

Eunuch Chen shook his whisk to break the sword, then turned the whisk around and hit Prince Ying on the forehead. Prince Ying spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

The prince stepped forward, drew his sword and subdued the man.

At this time, Bai Yinan's voice sounded outside the door, "Your Majesty, I led the inner court to capture a pair of bandits. Please make a decision, Your Majesty."

"Submit it to the Ministry of Justice for trial."

Emperor Chengde finally felt relieved.

Then, Yuwen Ji's voice rang out, "Father, I have captured a group of people who were trying to break into the palace. Please make the decision, Father."

"Submit it to the Ministry of Justice for trial."

Emperor Chengde seemed to realize that something was wrong at this moment. He looked at Eunuch Chen as if he had noticed something, but the old emperor was too proud to say anything and coughed.

The prince saw his father's concerns and took the initiative to speak, "Excuse me, are you Princess Sui'an or Eunuch Chen?"

"Your Highness is wise. This is your servant Bai Yimeng." Bai Yimeng tore off the human skin mask and was about to kneel down.

"Stand still. Have you forgotten your knee injury? I didn't ask you to leave the palace, so what are you doing here? The older you get, the more you lose your manners."

"Father, Princess Sui'an must be worried about you, so please don't scold her." The prince knew what the old emperor was thinking and took the initiative to speak for Bai Yimeng.

This is what Emperor Chengde wanted. The prince took the initiative to protect him, which was better than his last words. He looked at Bai Yimeng with a cold face, "Now that you are well, go get the stick. The third brother should also be beaten. Both of you should go."

The old emperor also cared about his reputation, and he could have taken back what he said last night.

But he wanted the prince to come forward and express his stance, so that Bai Yimeng's relationship with the prince might be eased in the future.

The prince knelt down and said, "Father, please don't do that. When I heard about what happened last night, I was so scared that I didn't know what to do. I only regret that I didn't get to you in time.

"I heard that last night, it was the princess who fought hard to keep my father and mother safe. Although Princess Sui'an made a small mistake, she also made a great contribution. Father should make up for the mistake with a little merit and forgive the princess."

"Today, I will forgive you for the last time for the sake of the Crown Prince. If you do it again, I will never forgive you. Back off."

Bai Yimeng knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Prince. I will take my leave."

It is easy to kneel down but difficult to stand up. Bai Yimeng struggled several times before he finally stood up, and his knees were already covered in blood.

"Stop, if you look like this, someone who doesn't know would think I'm punishing you. Wait a moment, wait for the third brother to come and carry you out of the palace."

"Yes." Bai Yimeng lowered his head aggrievedly and didn't look at anyone.

Emperor Chengde gritted his teeth, rubbed his eyes, and suppressed his emotions. He was worried that he would lose control and be exposed, so he turned his head away and deliberately didn't look at her.
