The Adventures of the Crying Princess

Bai Yimeng put away the needle and said, "These past few days, I have thought about it calmly. I am too naive. The things that the emperor considers are naturally different from those of ordinary people.

It is difficult to distinguish between good and evil when facing court officials every day, so it is natural to be suspicious.

I shouldn't have taken it out and presented it to you with all my heart. Anyone would have been scared.

Maybe it's because you look a lot like my father, which gave me this illusion, or maybe it's for some other reason. In any case, I shouldn't have trusted the emperor's sincerity too much.

Your Majesty is probably sober now. You will need to ask the imperial physician to check your pulse after you return to the palace. After you have heated the charcoal fire and taken medicine today, I believe your cold will be much better."

Bai Yimeng packed up the silver needles and prepared to go out. He looked at Yuwen Ji and said, "Your Majesty, please stay and accompany His Majesty. I will go see if the carriage has arrived."

She never needed to worry about such trivial matters. It was just an excuse to leave.

Emperor Chengde stood up and pulled her sleeve from behind, "I will come in two months, will you come?"

"No, I wish your majesty a long life and good health in advance." Bai Yimeng pulled back his sleeves, "Your majesty, don't worry, Prince Yi will go, and the children will also go."

"monkey……"

Yuwen Ji supported his father and said, "Father, you know how you treated me over the years, and I have never blamed you.

This time, after the child came back from the Zongzheng Temple, he stayed in seclusion for five or six days and almost died. He stopped breathing several times.

Her condition was really bad. Since she came to this day, the child has been refusing to let me touch her, and even forbids me to talk to her.

When asked what happened in there, she refused to say a word.

Later, the son went to ask people from the Zongzheng Temple and found out that the Minister of the Zongzheng Temple almost bullied her.

If the child hadn't threatened to die, the Minister of the Imperial Clan would not have dared to let anyone die on his territory, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

After hearing this, Emperor Chengde thought of what she said when she pushed him away in the Zongzheng Temple that day: Beat me if you want, but don't insult me.

The emperor took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Third brother, I understand. I will not let her suffer in vain. The Zongzheng Temple should be rectified."

"How dare a mere minister of the Imperial Clan Affairs Bureau do this? Is my father still protecting my elder brothers? Even if I have to give up my title of prince, I will seek justice for her.

Don't be fooled by the girl's carefree nature, she is actually a little old-fashioned. Although she and I slept in the same bed before we got married, we never overstepped the boundaries.

The child couldn't bear this, and that's why she won't forgive you."

"Calm down the little monkey, and the emperor will make the decision for you. Take her out to play more often these days, and it's best not to stay in the capital. Take Hui'er with you as well. There are some things that he is not suitable for."

Yuwen Ji was not sure whether his father's words meant that he was going to take action against the crown prince. He was just sure that even if no one else took action against the crown prince this time, he would do it himself.

"Father, I plan to take the child back to Wan'an Valley. There is a medicinal spring there that is good for her health. Letting her enjoy the mountains and rivers may help her forget her unhappiness sooner.

"I have already deposed the crown prince. Third brother, I feel uneasy without you around." Emperor Chengde held his son's hand.

"If she doesn't leave, her son is afraid that the child will torture her to death. You see she is smiling, but in fact she is crying in her heart.

She won't blame you for wrongly accusing her, nor will she blame you for not rewarding her for her merits. What she cares about is... that thing, which she really can't accept.

The son only hated himself for being incompetent and why he was not by her side that day.

"I have never thought about my father's kingdom. Don't you have a grandson? Besides, the prince brother can be cured."

Seeing that his son's face was completely different from before, Emperor Chengde held his hand and said, "Father, I know. I won't say any more. Promise me that you will come back."

Bai Yimeng didn't walk far and heard what the father and son said carefully.

"Princess, why are you standing here?" Yi Tong didn't understand the situation and stepped forward to greet her.

Yuwen Ji was startled when he heard this, he opened the door and looked at Bai Yimeng, "You, heard it?"

Bai Yimeng nodded and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Yuwen Ji hugged him and said, "Don't be afraid, no matter what happens, I will be with you. As long as you are happy, we will set off back to Wan'an Valley tomorrow."

Bai Yimeng shook his head. "So you and your brothers are making a fuss about not going to the government office because of this matter. Don't be like this. You can avenge me yourself."

Emperor Chengde immediately expressed his opinion, "Okay, what can I do for you, Father?"

"No need!"

The next day, in the early morning, the Minister and Vice Minister of Zongzheng Temple were hanged at the gate of the temple, and everyone in the temple went crazy.

When the Dali Temple presented the case to Emperor Chengde, the Emperor just smiled and shook his head, "What can you find out?"

"The murderer acted cleanly and efficiently. There were no scars on his body, and he was not poisoned. There is no clue at all. After examination, the other officials were found to have their ears shattered by internal force, causing deafness, and also damaging their brains, so that they all became idiots..."

Emperor Chengde was in no mood to listen to the analysis of the Dali Temple Secretary. He was only thinking about Bai Yimeng's grievances.

If those people had not gone too far that day, she would not have done so.

He took a deep breath, "Are you done? Then go down."

Knowing that nothing can be found, the Dali Temple Secretary will not really investigate it. It is just a formality.

Before the Dali Temple Secretary could finish his words, he was driven out by Emperor Chengde. After years of ups and downs in the political arena, he naturally had some insight. He saw that the emperor did not want to investigate further, so he threw the case into the waste paper pile.

The night of the deposed prince was still colorful. Ever since Yun Yin learned about the grievances suffered by Bai Yimeng, he doubled his "care" for the prince. He brought Yun Yi, Jin Ying, Jin Jia, and others to suddenly appear from time to time to scare the prince.

They were very good at light work and would not be discovered at all. Emperor Chengde also guessed the cause of the prince's illness at this moment, but he did not say much.

Firstly, the mistake was made by the crown prince. Secondly, the crown prince is already like this. If he offends the youngest son, who will inherit the throne?

Emperor Mingde rubbed his temples, squinted his eyes and opened them, "Little Chen, bring Ping An and Xi Le here..."

As soon as he said this, he immediately realized that the child had been taken back by Bai Yimeng. He waved his hand, "You go down too, let me be quiet."

After calming down for a while, Emperor Chengde invited Prince Rui to come. Prince Rui brought his newly acquired ancient book to Emperor Mingde and explained the story in it to him.

Emperor Chengde glared at his brother. "You know what happened, but you're still playing dumb? Help me. How do you comfort the child? That little monkey is ignoring me."

"No, didn't my royal brother eat barbecue with us yesterday?" Prince Rui flipped through the storybook casually, grabbed a piece of dessert and started eating.

"You actually knew about this?"

"Everyone knows it. The people of the capital all know it. I am not deaf, so I naturally support it. Yesterday, my brother led the imperial guards out of the city through the west gate. He was wearing purple casual clothes..."

"Enough! What the hell are you looking at every day?" Emperor Chengde originally thought that Prince Rui had really seen it, but when he took a closer look, he found that it was Prince Rui who was reading words from a storybook.

Prince Rui put away his cynical attitude, put down the notebook and said, "My Royal Brother, you and the Crown Prince passed by the East City Gate yesterday, and I happened to see you drinking tea there.

I even went down to the teahouse to say hello to you, but you didn't hear me. I was worried that something had happened to you, so I told General Long Wei to follow you, and then I found out that you went to eat barbecue.

By the way, my brother, you brought Hui'er with you to eat barbecue, but why didn't you bring me? It turns out that my younger brother is not as close to me as your eldest grandson?"

"Okay, tell me what you found out. Did the prince really do those things?" The emperor frowned and looked at his brother.

Prince Rui threw him a dozen papers and said, "Brother, this is the only time. Next time, please don't let me do anything. Because of your matter, I have no time to paint."

"Okay, I'll give you the calligraphy of my Grand Tutor Su later." After Prince Rui left, Emperor Chengde opened the paper. At a glance, it coincided with the files submitted by the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice in the past few days. It turned out that those terrifying dismemberment cases and serial murders were all committed by the prince.

It turned out that the prince had always been a bully of men and women, and had robbed fertile land. He had opened countless casinos, brothels, and even prostitution houses.

In the past, when Bai Yimeng told him about it, he thought it was just a deliberate frame-up by Bai Yimeng, but now it seems to be true.

"Go call the Black Dragon."

Eunuch Chen went out in response. Soon a man in white with a black mask appeared. When he saw Emperor Mingde, he knelt down and kowtowed.

"It's time to act."

The man nodded slightly without saying anything and left.
