The Adventures of the Crying Princess

Bai Yimeng stayed in Zongzheng Temple for another three days before his health stabilized. On the day he returned to the palace, Emperor Chengde came to Zongzheng Temple again and saw that Bai Yimeng's face had some color. He approached and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Bai Yimeng nodded slightly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I would rather die than trouble you." Bai Yimeng knelt down and kowtowed.

"Good boy, would you like to hear your father's explanation?"

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. Whatever you do is right. No explanation is needed."

"That day, I was so angry that I was confused. It's not that I don't believe you, little girl. Someone copied your handwriting and wrote the letter in your tone. I didn't believe it at first, so I went to your house to see you. I saw you talking and laughing, so I thought you were lying to me again. I was... I was confused."

"Did you give me a chance to defend myself?"

Bai Yimeng stretched out his wrist, took Emperor Mingde's hand and placed it on his pulse, "Your Majesty is also a martial artist, and you know some medical skills. You may not be able to see other things, but you should be able to identify the strength of the pulse."

Bai Yimeng smiled bitterly, "It's ridiculous. I believed you, no matter what. I never asked you for any reward after I made military achievements. I won't mention those things that you said you would reward me but didn't.

Now that we are here, let’s talk about it.

We won’t talk about things that happened too far ago, such as the rebellion of the Prince of Qi or the rebellion of Shi Su Ming and others.

After all, some of these are my responsibilities in Wan'angu.

Let me say that when I was pregnant with Peace and Joy, I was already three months pregnant. I was really afraid of having my first child, but I went without thinking. Did you give me anything when you came back? Did I ever ask you for anything?

Let’s not even count the tedious little things involved.

Five-Nation Alliance, I was only one month pregnant at the time. Did you ask me to go and I hesitated? Did I complain to you? You said there were no good generals in the court and you were worried about the instability of the capital's security. As long as our Bai brothers and sisters went, I would not think much.

But don't you have other thoughts? I don't care about these. When I was pregnant, the prince teamed up with the Qianji Sect and almost killed the third brother, me and the baby in my belly. I don't care.

A month ago, at the intersection of West Street, the Crown Prince colluded with the criminals and wanted to get rid of Prince Yi and me. Did you stand up for me? Did I make trouble with you again?

But now, you are arguing with me just for a fictitious letter?

These days, I figured out why the late emperor didn't allow anyone to get involved in the imperial court when he founded Wan'an Valley. I figured it out too late.

From now on, I will only be the master of Wan'an Valley. Your Majesty can relay the affairs of the martial arts world to Prince Yi. There is no need for me to meet you.

The late emperor had ordered that Wan'angu should only be in charge of the affairs of the martial arts world, and he would not be summoned for any unrelated matters.

This decree is still in my Wan'an Valley. Your Majesty, please take good care of yourself in the future. From now on, there is no need to meet unless there is something important. "

Dragon Valley Master nodded slightly, "Let's go home, Master will make some tonic for you."

Yuwen Ji bowed to the emperor and left. After leaving Zongzheng Temple, Yuwen Ji carried his wife into the carriage.

Eunuch Chen caught up and stopped the carriage, "Princess, you can just vent your anger, but don't really get angry with His Majesty.

Your Majesty has indeed listened to the instigation of this villain. Even so, you should still send General Long Wei to investigate. Your Majesty knows that General Long Wei loves you and will definitely investigate thoroughly. "

Bai Yimeng stretched out his arm, which was covered with blood-red whip marks, and said, "The Minister of Zongzheng Temple said it himself, His Majesty has ordered the execution of Princess Yi.

The eunuch told His Majesty that there was no need to be too sad, it was just me who was too naive. "

"You're welcome, eunuch. Just give it to me." Yi Tong smiled and took the reins from Eunuch Chen.

After saying everything, Bai Yimeng felt even more sad and sobbed quietly while hugging Yuwen Ji.

Yuwen Ji didn't dare to touch her, afraid of touching her wound, and kissed her head, "Don't be afraid, I support you. As for the crown prince, I will not let him go. Don't worry, the little princess who dares to bully me will not have a good result."

Touching Bai Yimeng was indeed a big taboo for Yuwen Ji. He had previously collected some dirt on the prince, and now he was throwing it to the storyteller one by one, and the prince's reputation was completely ruined.

The Lord of Longgu sent Yunyin to sneak into the East Palace every day and dress up as a ghost to scare people.

Bai Yimeng had used this trick before, but Yunyin played it out in a big way. The prince had killed many people, and he dressed them up one by one and complained about their grievances. Within half a month, the prince fell ill.

The imperial physician was invited, and he said that he was frightened and couldn't sleep at night. Emperor Chengde asked the prince about it, and the prince was full of nonsense, which was simply unreasonable for Emperor Chengde, who had no faith.

The rumors soon spread to the palace, and the emperor gradually learned the truth, and was furious. He looked for Yuwen Ji, but Yuwen Ji looked indifferent.

"How many days have you not been to the Ministry of Justice? I know that the little monkey has been wronged this time. I will return the child to you. What else do you want?"

"I dare not. I have been sick these days. I have asked for leave from the Ministry of Justice." Yuwen Ji coughed pretentiously.

"Come on, stop pretending." Emperor Chengde rubbed his jade ring. "My birthday will be in three months. Will the little monkey come?"

"My son doesn't know either. He probably won't come. She's not in good health right now. She was tortured in the Zongzheng Temple and her health is very poor. She will probably stay indoors for the time being."

Without waiting for the emperor to speak again, Yuwen Ji knelt down and kowtowed, "Father, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

As soon as Yuwen Ji left, the Dali Temple Secretary asked for a meeting again, this time presenting evidence that the prince had colluded with court officials and privately run a brothel.

Emperor Chengde looked at the evidence one by one. He had no idea how many such evidences he had seen in the past few days.

Several times when he went out of the palace to relax, he heard people talking about how unbearable the prince was. Every time he heard this, he lost interest.

"My dear minister, accompany me to visit Princess Yi. If she doesn't come to see me, I will go to see her. Prepare some of her favorite snacks and milk tea."

"Yes." Eunuch Chen looked at Emperor Chengde and couldn't help but sigh.

The emperor walked to the back door of Prince Yi's Mansion and stopped. He always came here naturally, but this time he felt a little unconfident.

Will that stubborn monkey chase him out? He is the emperor and it would be so embarrassing if he did that.

"Your Majesty, shall we go in?"

Eunuch Chen's voice brought Emperor Chengde back to his senses. "I'm going to see my son. I don't think that monkey will chase me out."

"No, the princess has always been loyal to Your Majesty, and she is just hurt this time. You just need to comfort her." Eunuch Chen encouraged the old emperor, "It is common for fathers and sons, and fathers and daughters to quarrel and argue.

Little Princess, I have blocked many knives for you, this relationship is not something that can be severed just like that."

It seems like he is trying to persuade people, but in fact, he is also recalling for the emperor how good Bai Yimeng was to him.

The emperor felt very uncomfortable after hearing what he said. He pushed open the back door and was about to enter the Moon-Raising Pavilion when a golden shadow appeared and blocked his way. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The old Valley Master has ordered that my Valley Master cannot see anyone during his retreat. Prince Yi has moved to a new residence these days."

"Is she seriously ill?"

Jin Ying had a cold face and bowed. "Thanks to your majesty, I am not dead yet. The torture in Zongzheng Temple is not very severe, just whips and branding irons. My master could bear it before, and he can bear it now. Your majesty, don't worry."

Jin Ying's words were full of resentment, and Emperor Chengde felt very uncomfortable. He asked tentatively, "I want to see her, is that ok?"

"The late emperor has issued an order. If it is not a matter of martial arts, the master of Wan'an Valley does not need to listen to the announcement." Jin Ying bowed again, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

The emperor stood at the entrance of the Moon-Raising Pavilion and looked inside. "I didn't mean to hurt her, nor did I mean to not reward her. It's not that I don't know how much she has paid. It's just... it's just that I can't pay her back.

Her contribution is so great that I don't know how to reward her. I can't give her anything else except love.

I know I owe her, tell her..."

Yin Yi appeared and interrupted Emperor Ming Chengde. Perhaps because he was too anxious, Yin Yi only saw Jin Ying and handed him a bottle. "Here is the medicine. Go and give it to the master. The second master said he will be here soon."

Dragon Valley Master has ordered that Emperor Chengde not be informed of Bai Yimeng's situation. With Yin Yi's unexpected intrusion, this matter is bound to be exposed.

Jin Ying stared at Emperor Chengde with his copper-bell eyes, and for a moment he could not lie.

A skill I've practiced for more than twenty years suddenly doesn't work anymore.

Hui'er rushed out, "Grandpa Emperor, you are here. Auntie has been in a coma for several days. Hui'er is so scared."

Hui'er was not a child anymore, and he knew what had happened. He did not blame the emperor, but exaggerated Bai Yimeng's symptoms.

She even took Emperor Chengde into the courtyard and came to the door of the room, "You can't go in, my aunt is in seclusion, you can only watch through the crack of the door."

Hui'er knew how to act in a measured way and found the most powerful angle, making Emperor Chengde of Ming Dynasty see it but it was as if he hadn't seen it, which was still very irritating.

I wasn’t that worried at first, but after watching it, I became more worried and blamed myself more.
