The Adventures of the Crying Princess
Chapter 240 Death of Marquis Jiaxi
Without her child around, Bai Yimeng felt empty inside and went to the palace to see her child every few days.
Every time, the emperor and empress would guard against the couple as if they were thieves. Emperor Chengde glared at Bai Yimeng, "Didn't you come to pay your respects yesterday? Why are you here again today? I'm annoyed even if you're not annoyed."
The Queen nudged the Emperor and forced a smile, "Your Majesty didn't mean that. Your Majesty is just worried about your health. It's good that you're not afraid of tiring yourself out by always tossing around."
"Mother, my daughter-in-law has recovered some of her strength." Bai Yimeng told the Empress about the Nine Transformations Golden Pill. "My internal strength has not yet fully recovered, but my physical strength has obviously improved a lot in the past few days."
Only at this moment did the emperor and empress notice that Bai Yimeng's complexion had indeed improved significantly.
Emperor Chengde picked up his grandson alertly and said, "You are just getting better. You can't take care of the child. What if you get tired?"
The queen was about to smooth things over when the emperor, holding a baby in each hand, ran towards the bedroom. When the old man ran, he didn't look like a sixty-year-old at all.
Yuwen Ji did not take the child back, and he returned home happily with his wife. "Father is right, you are getting better, you can't be tired. When you are better, we will take the child back."
Bai Yimeng nodded slightly with a bitter face.
Inside the carriage, Yuwen Ji tugged at Bai Yimeng's hand, "Kid, try to breathe harder and see if your internal strength has recovered."
"Recovery is inevitable, but it's not complete yet. Maybe it has something to do with my body."
Yuwen Ji bit her ear and hummed softly.
Bai Yimeng felt that he was a bit clingy and pushed him away, "Your Majesty, please go find Su Beichen. I am generous and will not interfere with whoever Your Majesty likes.
Lord Su has not married yet. If the prince really likes her, why not keep her as a concubine? I will be the eldest and he will be the youngest..."
"You're talking nonsense again." Yuwen Ji bit her upper lip.
"It hurts! Let go." Bai Yimeng patted Yuwen Ji's head, "I was wrong. Can't I just stop scolding you?"
After pushing the man away, he rubbed his lips hard and hit Yuwen Ji several times as if in revenge.
Su Beichen's voice came from outside the carriage again, "Your Majesty, there has been some progress in yesterday's case. Can we talk about it together?"
Bai Yimeng looked at Yuwen Ji with a smirk on her face, as if she had discovered some secret of Yuwen Ji. Yuwen Ji hugged his wife, kissed her, and pushed her to a corner of the carriage, "Child, I only like you."
"So, you and Su Beichen are just playing around? Then I'm relieved, Your Majesty, go ahead." Bai Yimeng hooked his chin deliberately teasingly.
Yuwen Ji was so aroused that he pecked her hard on the face. The sound was so loud that everyone outside the carriage could hear it clearly. Without waiting for Bai Yimeng to react, he slipped off the carriage.
Bai Yimeng didn't rush back home, but went to Xilexuan, Jimin Medical Clinic, and finally Zhuangyuanlou. He settled the bills and delivery orders, and gave instructions for many things.
It was just noon, so Bai Yimeng decided to have lunch here.
Since I just wanted to have a quick bite, I didn't go to the private room. I found a secluded corner in the lobby and ate a quick bite.
Suddenly, a shout came from not far away, "I like you, you are lucky, don't be shameless.
I advise you to obey me obediently. My brother-in-law is Su Beichen from Jingzhao Prefecture. If you offend him, you will suffer the consequences. "
I saw a young man dragging a young girl and about to walk out. Bai Yimeng smiled secretly, it was difficult for him to do this at such a low level.
She walked forward and pulled the man's hand away. "This kind of thing requires mutual consent. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to do this."
"My brother-in-law said to Shao Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, who the hell do you think you are to me?" The man said in a deep voice, grabbing Bai Yimeng by the collar.
Jin Ying stepped forward and pried open the other's hands, "Do you also know my master?"
"Since you are Lord Su's brother-in-law, please go to Jingzhao Mansion for tea."
Jin Yi responded by pushing and leading the person out of the Zhuangyuan Building. Not long after, Su Beichen and Yuwen Ji arrived, "Are you okay?"
"That man is the son of the Left Secretary of the Honglu Temple. My old man took a liking to his daughter and arranged a marriage for me.
I didn't agree, but the old man liked it. I got beaten a lot for this."
"My eldest sister-in-law's father seems to be the Right Minister of the Honglu Temple. I'll ask for you later. If the girl has good character and looks, you can agree to marry her.
My sister-in-law is very nice, so I think Honglu Temple should not be too bad. "
"This minister has heard that your sister-in-law often runs around the yard with a kitchen knife, chasing General Bai. It's terrible.
I already have a cruel father, which is pitiful enough. If I have a daughter-in-law like this, what hope do I have for the future? I might as well just kill myself."
Yuwen Ji nudged Bai Yimeng and said, "My children are the best. They are so cute and never make a fuss."
Su Beichen looked at Yuwen Ji for a long time, "Your Highness, if you feel threatened, just blink. Xiaobai is quite gentle..."
Bai Yimeng glanced at Su Beichen sideways, his fists creaking as he pressed, "Su Beichen, do you think it's bad to be alive?"
The three were arguing when they heard a conversation behind them.
"By the way, have you heard? Marquis Jiaxi died in prison. It is said that he died a very tragic death."
"I thought he would be imprisoned like Prince Ying. I never thought he would end up like this. Do you know who did this?"
"It is said that it was done by gangsters. Someone knocked the jailer unconscious that night, and Marquis Jiaxi died the next day."
Yuwen Ji looked at Bai Yimeng, "You did it?"
Bai Yimeng shook his head. "I'm not in good health. I can't do this."
This was definitely not done by Bai Yimeng. If she had done it, Marquis Jiaxi would not have been hanged so easily.
He must be beaten up no matter what, until even his own mother can't recognize him, and then he must be killed.
However, she knew who killed Marquis Jia Xi, but she couldn't reveal it at the moment. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, there was no difference between the killing by him and the killing by Bai Yimeng.
"Marquis Jiaxi has been sentenced to death. You don't need to do it yourself. This matter of the child is very serious. If you know who it is, you can't cover it up. Otherwise, you won't be able to handle it from the emperor."
Yuwen Ji naturally knew that Bai Yimeng would never do such a stupid thing, but he was also worried that her subordinates would do something wrong and she would take the blame.
"Okay, I know how to deal with it. Don't worry, I will handle it." Bai Yimeng sighed. What could she do about this?
Yuwen Ji and Su Beichen still had official business to attend to, so after lunch they returned to the yamen.
Bai Yimeng returned to the mansion by himself. As soon as he entered the Lanyue Pavilion, he saw Yunyin eating a melon under a big tree, "Come in."
Entering his bedroom, Jin Ying closed the door. Bai Yimeng's eyes wandered in front of the three people, "Tell me, who did the Jiaxi Marquis thing?"
"What happened to Marquis Jiaxi? What does it have to do with us?" Jin Ying glanced at Yun Yin beside him and lowered his eyes.
"That day, we all followed you out, so we didn't have the time to..." Yinying quickly spoke up, glancing at Yunyin awkwardly.
Yunyin sneered, "Come on, what's the use of just saying it straight. It was me who did it.
Valley Master, you have been in the capital for too long, and I am afraid you have long forgotten the hardships of the brothers in Wan'an Valley.
Marquis Jiaxi's ancestors have done favors for the country. Your Majesty should at most imprison him and then release him after a few years.
Just like the Prince of Ying and the Prince of Qi, they are now guarding the border and living well. But where are the brothers who quelled the rebellion? I just want to say..."
"Shut up!" Bai Yimeng glared at Yun Yin coldly, "Do you really think so?"
Yun Yin was speechless and lowered his eyes. After a while, he said, "I was worried that Your Majesty would tolerate Marquis Jia Xi, so I took people to kill him.
Don't worry, I did it very secretly, no one will find out. Even if it is found out, I will take care of it, and I will definitely not implicate the Valley Master."
Yi Tong's voice came from outside the door, "Princess, someone has come from the palace. Please come in. This time it's Eunuch Chen who has come in person."
"Got it. I'll wash up and go right away."
Bai Yimeng glanced at Yunyin and said, "No one is allowed to leave before I come back. Anyone who disobeys my order will be killed without mercy."
After saying this, Bai Yimeng entered the inner room and began to wash and dress. After a while, she came out wearing plain clothes and her hair was tied up with a plain silver hairpin.
"How can the master of the valley be like this when he sees the king? Let Yinsi comb your hair and wash you again."
"Prepare some wound medicine and painkillers. They might be needed later." He turned his head and glared at Yun Yin. "Everyone stay in the mansion. No matter what you hear or see, don't move. If you dare to make trouble again, get out of here."
Seeing that Bai Yimeng was angry, no one dared to breathe.
