The Adventures of the Crying Princess

Chapter 208 Military Report Lost

Bai Yimeng has been taking care of Emperor Chengde for nearly two months, and the court officials seem to have gotten used to it, and the little princess often goes in and out of the imperial study.

Sometimes, he even served as the emperor's ghostwriter. On this day, Bai Yimeng entered the imperial study as usual and gave acupuncture to Emperor Chengde.

I saw Bai Yinan, Bai Yiyang and Bai Yisong kneeling outside the imperial study.

Bai Yimeng stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"

"The military report from the Ministry of War was swapped, and His Majesty is furious. My little sister, don't get involved, just do what you need to do." Bai Yinan was worried about his sister and couldn't help but remind her.

"Don't worry, big brother. I know what I'm doing." Bai Yimeng entered the imperial study as usual. Seeing the mess on the floor, he squatted down, picked up the memorials and books on the floor, and put them back in their original places.

Emperor Chengde heard a noise behind him and thought it was a palace maid who was not tactful, so he grabbed the teacup and hit her. Bai Yimeng could have dodged it, but she deliberately didn't. The teacup hit her forehead squarely.

Emperor Chengde was about to curse when he saw blood flowing from Bai Yimeng's forehead. He was instantly shocked and asked, "Why are you here?"

"It's time for acupuncture. I am here to give acupuncture to Your Majesty." Bai Yimeng continued to do her work. After tidying up the books, Bai Yimeng knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down first. It's not convenient to give acupuncture when you are angry."

"Well!" Seeing that she was injured, the emperor's anger subsided a lot. He took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, "I didn't mean to hurt you. Wipe it yourself."

"I know that Your Majesty is really angry. Let me chat with you."

"Well, go ahead." Emperor Chengde was obviously not in the mood. He took a sip of tea and stopped talking.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to help you retrieve the military report."

"You can do it?"

"Wan'an Valley is fine." Bai Yimeng bowed down, "I don't care about the affairs of the court, and it's not my turn. But the military report is of great importance, so please approve it, Your Majesty."

"How long will it take!" Emperor Chengde's eyes warmed up.

"At the fastest it will be one or two days, at the slowest it will be seven or eight days. I will leave the Gold Camp and the Silver Camp to Your Majesty. I will not be in the palace these days, so Your Majesty might as well activate the Golden Armor Guards and the Dragon Roar Guards for guarding together." Bai Yimeng explained what might happen one by one.

"No need for that. Your three brothers are capable. Let them make amends for their crimes." Looking at Bai Yimeng, the old emperor's eyes showed a little more warmth.

Bai Yimeng bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After saying that, he stood up and left the imperial study, looked at the three men and bowed, "My three brothers, please take good care of His Majesty. I will go and retrieve the military report and will be back in a few days."

"Little sister! I'm sorry."

Bai Yimeng stopped and shook her head. "Brothers and sisters don't talk about this. Let's talk later if you have anything to say."

After leaving the city, Bai Yimeng headed west all the way to Xiling. When he reached a forest at night, Bai Yimeng slowed down his pace.

Tonight was a full moon, the moon was high in the sky, and the howling of wild wolves could be heard on both sides of the hill. Bai Yimeng was not afraid of the wolves, and continued on his way under the moonlight.

After walking another three to five hundred meters, I felt a chill on my back and instinctively turned sideways, only to see a wild wolf pouncing towards me.

Bai Yimeng was not afraid of the wild wolves, but the horse was. The frightened horse ran wildly all the way, running like crazy.

Suddenly, they came to a cliff. No matter how Bai Yimeng pulled the reins, the horse remained indifferent. When the horse was about to fall off the cliff, Bai Yimeng jumped over and escaped.

Bai Yimeng blew the wolf whistle to summon the wolves in Wolf Valley, but he never expected to attract wild wolves all over the mountains and fields.

Fortunately, she had lived in the Wild Wolf Valley, and the Wolf King Hua Ge taught her how to deal with them.

After fighting with wild wolves for a whole night, Bai Yimeng finally got out of the hills and headed west to the border of Xiling State, Yucheng.

After entering the city, I came to a tea shop, ordered a bowl of jasmine tea, and drank it carelessly. However, my eyes were not idle, constantly looking at everything around me.

A bowl of tea, but he drank it all day. How could the boss not notice such an abnormal behavior?

This continued for three days, and the boss took the initiative to step forward and asked, "Sir, are you waiting for someone?"

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, but this is my first time going out and my money was robbed. The money in my pocket is only enough to buy some tea. Please don't blame me." Bai Yimeng stood up, bowed, and was about to leave.

In fact, she was sure that this tea shop was the base of Yumen Villa, but she was afraid of meeting Lu Yikuan, so she deliberately did not reveal her identity and made changes to her appearance.

Since she lost the secret letter five years ago, the two have not met again. They occasionally exchange letters, but they are just polite greetings.

Even at the wedding of Lu Yikuan and Bo He, Bai Yimeng did not attend, but only asked her three brothers to send gifts.

She could only rely on herself now. Fortunately, with many years of experience in the martial arts world, Bai Yimeng had developed the ability to see through the other person's identity at a glance.

He spotted a man dressed as a minor official in blue and deliberately passed by her. He tripped the man without making a sound and hurried forward to say, "I'm sorry, brother, I didn't pay attention just now. Are you okay?"

He searched the man while helping him up or dusting him off. In the end, he succeeded.

This method is very dangerous, but she has no choice. Wan'an Valley's responsibility is to maintain the order of the martial arts world, and there are spies in various places, but this place is Xiling, which is beyond the scope of Wan'an Valley's responsibility.

The enemy army lost the intelligence, so they naturally could not give up. Soon the city gates were closed, and only people in and out were allowed. The whole city was searched for suspicious people.

Bai Yimeng didn't want the stronghold of Yumen Villa to be destroyed, so she had no choice but to force her way in. The guards at the city gate had already taken precautions, and surrounded the people from both inside and outside.

It was ten days later that he appeared in the imperial study again. He was dressed in black, with a black cape, a pale face and a stern look.

After the morning court session, Emperor Chengde went straight to the study. He was shocked to see Bai Yimeng, "I haven't seen you for more than ten days. How come you look like this?"

Bai Yimeng didn't say anything, didn't greet, just stood there quietly. Emperor Chengde understood and waved his hand, "Everyone, leave."

After everyone left, Bai Yimeng knelt down and kowtowed, "I have fulfilled my mission and recovered the military newspaper." Bai Yimeng presented the military newspaper with both hands.

The old emperor noticed that there were scars on his fingers, "How did you get hurt?" He took the military report, grabbed her hand, and wanted to help her up, but found that she didn't move, "But is there something wrong? Get up and tell me."

Seeing that Bai Yimeng didn't say anything, Emperor Chengde took the initiative to tell the story, "During the days you were away, I was fine. I took medicine and took medicinal baths on time. But why did you become like this?"

"The enemy army attached great importance to this military report and set up many checkpoints. I, your servant, managed to overcome all the obstacles and return home.

I am afraid that I will not be able to diagnose your majesty during this period, so I will refine half a month's supply of medicine in advance. I will also prepare the herbs needed for the medicinal bath in advance and have handed them over to Eunuch Chen.

Your Majesty, I would like to ask you a favor. I am injured. Please do not tell Prince Yi and my three brothers.

I want to hide away and stay in seclusion for a while. Let them take care of your safety for the time being."

Emperor Chengde touched her head, feeling extremely distressed. "Don't worry about me, just focus on recovering. Go, if I don't say anything, Eunuch Chen won't say anything either."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will prepare some medicine for you first and then leave the palace later."

The emperor knew he couldn't persuade her, so he had to ask Eunuch Chen to follow quietly to prevent any mishap.

Bai Yinan and his two brothers were on duty as usual. Their sister hadn't come back, and they were all very worried and felt guilty. After all, it was their military department that caused this trouble.

"Brother, no news about my little sister yet?"

"I wrote a letter to Lu Lao Er, and his people said that they haven't seen my younger sister, and I haven't contacted him either." Bai Yinan lowered his eyes.

Bai Yisong shook his head, "I don't know what happened between my younger sister and my second brother over the years, and why the two of them are so upset.

Such a big thing, but you didn't tell Second Senior Brother, what do you want to do?"

Bai Yiyang shook his head and couldn't help but sigh, "Did Second Senior Brother mention the military newspaper?

"The letter said that the military newspaper was hijacked by a young man. Xiling sent a large number of experts to hunt him down, and his people have not received accurate news yet. Second Senior Brother will go to Beijing in the next few days." Bai Yisong shook his head and looked at the moon.

"That young man, could he be my younger sister?" Bai Yi Yang also looked at the moon.
