The Adventures of the Crying Princess
Chapter 30 Confession
Just after the hour of Si, word came from the palace that Prince Xuanyi was coming in. Yuwen Ji's wounds had not yet fully healed, so he followed Eunuch Chen with gritted teeth.
"Yi Tong, go and call Doctor Guo quickly. Your prince is probably either dead or injured this time. I'm afraid His Majesty will not forgive him." Su Beichen's eyes were full of helplessness. Facing the silly-looking Bai Yimeng, he could not scold or hit her. He could only worry.
Although Yi Tong didn't know what happened last night, he could tell that this incident was most likely caused by his brother Long.
Pulling Bai Yimeng aside, he lowered his voice and asked, "What trouble have you gotten yourself into again? I warn you, if the prince is implicated by you, the weird brothers will not be polite to you."
Bai Yimeng blinked and thought to himself: He makes it sound like he can beat me.
What he was thinking didn't come out loud, and he came to Su Beichen and said, "Why don't I go into the palace and take a look."
"Stop, my dear ancestor, I dare not do that! If someone finds out, Prince Yi's problem will be even more serious." Su Beichen rubbed his temple, secretly complaining for Yuwen Ji.
Near noon, Yuwen Ji was sent back.
Doctor Guo was carrying a medicine box, while Aunt Chen, the old maid, was burning paper and heating water. They were stunned when they saw Yuwen Ji's rosy face. "My Lord, are you okay?"
Su Beichen looked him up and down for a long time, and was relieved to confirm that he was fine, "Didn't he get beaten?"
"Go away, you crow's mouth. I am fine, why do I always get beaten?" Yuwen Ji pushed the person away jokingly, "Aunt Chen, why are you boiling water? And Doctor Guo, shouldn't you be taking a nap at this time?"
"Is it not okay for me to stretch my body?" Doctor Guo turned around and went back to the backyard.
"The Minister of Justice Cui has suffered a stroke." Yuwen Ji returned to Lanyue Pavilion and grabbed Bai Yimeng, "It can't be related to you."
"I didn't scare him, nor did I harm him." Bai Yimeng shook off Yuwen Ji's hand and sat aside.
"That's strange. Lord Cui gave false testimony back then and was one of the instigators in the death of Marquis Zhenbei. Will you let him go?" Su Beichen curled his lips in disdain.
"Maybe he heard that Concubine Shu was dying, and he felt uncomfortable and fell ill." Bai Yimeng was peeling grapes.
"The concubine is dying? Why haven't I heard about it? You must be talking nonsense!" Yuwen Ji looked at Su Beichen as if asking: Is this true?
"I'm not kidding. Concubine Shu has two threes and a five left, and Princess Nine has a pair of circles and a small four. Isn't that the end?" Bai Yimeng looked innocent. "I was chatting with Lord Cui, but who knew he had a stroke before I finished. He was the one who got it wrong. What does it have to do with me?"
Su Beichen gave a thumbs up, his face flushed from trying to hold back his laughter, "So smart."
Yuwen Ji frowned and pointed at the wall seriously, "Go stand there. You are not allowed to eat lunch. Think about where you went wrong."
Bai Yimeng looked at Su Beichen, who lowered his head and ate grapes, clearly not wanting to care. Yi Tong at the door was in deaf-mute mode, standing there motionless.
"Go and stand there. If you can't figure it out, you can skip dinner." Yuwen Ji made it clear that he didn't want to tolerate it this time.
In fact, he didn't know why he was angry, he just felt that Bai Yimeng like this was not like his Xiaobai.
Bai Yimeng put on a pitiful look and said, "You made me..."
"I didn't ask you to harm others with such vicious means. You can be naughty and play tricks, and I will support you, but you can't do this. Stand facing the wall."
Looking at Bai Yimeng's pitiful appearance, Yuwen Ji could only turn his head away and ignore her.
"Your Highness, Lord Cui is ill and the position of Minister of Justice is vacant. Do you have any ideas?" Su Beichen intended to give Bai Yimeng a way out.
"The Crown Prince and I are born of the same mother. If I fight for that position, wouldn't that hurt my mother's heart?"
Yuwen Ji sighed. This was half true and half false. It was true that he didn't want to argue, but it was also true that he couldn't stand the prince's attacks.
"But Prince, have you ever cared about your brotherhood?" The man facing the wall asked a soul-searching question.
"Bai Yimeng, if you don't stand still, I won't be polite." Yuwen Ji pretended to be fierce, but was extinguished by Bai Yimeng's tears the next second, "Okay, you face the wall. Later, I will play chess with you."
Su Beichen rolled his eyes. How could this be called a punishment? It was clearly a show of affection.
He coughed and said, "So, what does your majesty mean?"
"My father wanted me to take on this position, but I refused."
"You refused?" Su Beichen was extremely shocked. "Are you out of your mind?"
"Father is testing me, he is not really interested in me." Yuwen Ji's eyes showed a trace of disappointment, "Father has never really considered me."
Bai Yimeng felt uncomfortable after hearing this, "People have no intention of killing tigers, but tigers are harmful to people's hearts."
The sound was not loud, but the other two people in the room heard it clearly.
Yuwen Ji supported himself and walked forward slowly, hugging Bai Yimeng from behind, "Don't talk nonsense, father is not a tiger, and neither is the prince. Forget it, I won't stand anymore, let's go eat."
Bai Yimeng turned his head, snorted, then turned and left the room.
Su Beichen finally couldn't help laughing, imitating Yu Wenji's tone, "Standing over there...
Your Majesty, you don't know, when you said this, I was really impressed.
Who would have thought that being handsome would only last for three seconds, and when he saw Xiao Bai crying, he panicked. Oh, how embarrassing.
However, the little girl's last words are right. You are a righteous man who cares about the affection between brothers, but the prince has never been soft on you. "
"Why are you so excited? Xiaobai is young and can't keep calm. Why are you like this?" Yuwen Ji rolled his eyes and turned his head away, ignoring Su Beichen.
Whether he fights or not, he doesn't want to involve Bai Yimeng. He just hopes that his Xiaobai will always be an innocent and cute little white rabbit.
Su Beichen sneered and shook his head repeatedly, "She is younger than you, but after experiencing the calamity of her clan being exterminated and the betrayal of her beloved, will she still be the little white rabbit she used to be?
She sees things more clearly and farther than you do. She is also more strategic. Although Lord Cui's case was a little damaging, it also eliminated a scourge.
You and I both know that Lord Cui is the borer of Daxing. Not only that, he is also one of the masterminds of the Zhenbei Marquis case. Xiaobai is pretending to be stupid, but you are really stupid. "Su Beichen grabbed the melon seeds and continued to eat them.
"I understand what you said. Even so, I still don't want to fight for it for the time being." Yuwen Ji pursed his lips gently.
"We have chicken legs. Would you like some?" Bai Yimeng suddenly rushed in and handed a chicken leg to Yuwen Ji.
"I won't eat it, so you eat it." Yuwen Ji finally took the chicken leg.
"Actually, my father doesn't like me the most. He likes my eldest brother the most. He always likes to say, look at your eldest brother.
Later I figured it out. He was suppressing education. Maybe in front of my elder brother they would say, look how good your sister is. "
"But Bai Yinan is really outstanding!" Su Beichen couldn't help but tell the truth.
Yuwen Ji and Bai Yimeng looked at him together. Bai Yimeng was a double-faced person. He pushed Su Beichen out and said, "The affairs of Jingzhao Prefecture are very busy. I won't keep you for lunch."
After Su Beichen left, Bai Yimeng took the chicken leg back from Yuwen Ji, "Give it back to me if you don't want to eat it."
After a while, seeing Yuwen Ji still standing there in a daze, "In fact, people only live once, there is no need to worry about it. If you want that position, go and fight for it.
Your father doesn't like you, and that's his right. It doesn't mean you don't have the right to sit in that position. I've died once, and I'm telling you something from the bottom of my heart. Sometimes, people have to look forward. "
Yuwen Ji held down Bai Yimeng's hand and took out the purse. "I think you are right. We should focus on the money."
"I saw people selling candy figures on the street, so I wanted to buy one for you. I don't eat them." Bai Yimeng blinked her big, sincere eyes.
Taking the initiative to say this shows that she is no longer playing dumb and chooses to be honest with him. Thinking of this, Yuwen Ji smiled, took her hand and rubbed it, "Xiaobai, you don't have to forgive me, just allow me to be good to you, just give me a chance to make up for it."
Bai Yimeng turned her head away. She didn't know how to answer. She waited for three years in her last life, and got such a result. In this life, is he still trustworthy?
"I feel much better today. You go and eat first. I'll take you out to play later. Go back to your room and practice calligraphy. Be good and go quickly." After saying this, Yuwen Ji called Yi Tong to the door.
"Master, what do you want me to do?" Yi Tong had followed Prince Yi for so many years, so he naturally knew how to read people's expressions.
"My wound is itchy. Please ask Dr. Guo to come and take a look at it."
Although Yi Tong didn't understand why the prince had to avoid Brother Long when applying medicine, he still did as he was told.
Bai Yimeng returned to his room, locked the door, found a spittoon, spat out a mouthful of black blood, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "I feel much better."
