The Adventures of the Crying Princess

King Rui knew that the truth had been revealed, so he took the risk and took advantage of the chaos to draw his sword and go straight for Yuwen Ji.

As long as Yuwen Ji died, the charges of assassination and treason against him would no longer be established.

Emperor Mingde had no son, so what could he do with his only brother? Could he really rely on the underage grandson?

Yi Tong drew his sword to protect him, but was stabbed by King Rui's sword. He had been sleeping on straw and eating bitter food for several years, and had already mastered martial arts.

Yuwen Ji drew his sword and fought with him for thirty or forty rounds, but it was difficult to tell who was better. King Rui was eager to survive, so he suddenly threw a poisonous snake from his sleeve.

The poisonous snake flew towards Yuwen Ji and was about to bite his neck, but was cut into two pieces by someone in mid-air.

Bai Yimeng descended from the sky, grabbed the venomous snake by the skin and threw it back to King Rui, "Despicable."

Suddenly, thirty or forty mountain guards appeared and surrounded King Rui. Bai Yimeng rushed over and hugged Yuwen Ji, "I'm so scared, hug me."

Su Beichen scratched his head and looked at Yi Tong, "Is your princess always so schizophrenic? She was quite fierce when dealing with Prince Rui just now, why is she so whimpering now?"

"Master Su, my princess is the most gentle one. You are not allowed to say bad things about her."

Su Beichen was furious, "The Prince Yi's family is all mentally ill, I don't bother to care."

"Hey, Mr. Su, take good care of my prince." After asking for a hug, Bai Yimeng ran to Su Beichen, "I'll be away for the next few days, please keep an eye on him. Don't let him get into danger. Take care of his food and daily life." Bai Yimeng clasped his fists towards Su Beichen.

"No, Xiaobai, where are you going? Why are you saying that?"

Without waiting for Bai Yimeng to answer, someone behind her pressed her head with a hand, "You ran out again, are you itching for trouble? Come with me." Bai Yinan took her away without saying a word.

"Let me go and let me talk to the prince."

Yuwen Ji noticed something was wrong and hugged his wife, "Child, I'll finish this.

I will pick you up tomorrow. If not, I will arrange it now."

"Your Highness, you will be very busy these few days, so it is convenient for me and the children to stay in the General's Mansion. The sisters-in-law don't have to run back and forth, and it is easier to manage with so many children.

My master will take this opportunity to heal my body these days, so he may need to be in seclusion for a few days.

You know, I've been in poor health recently, so maybe I'll get better this time.

Don’t you want Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi? Let’s go get them when I’m out of quarantine.”

The seclusion was real, and the conditioning was also real, but I didn't tell him that I was poisoned.

Yuwen Jijue knew her condition and also knew that it would be inconvenient for her to receive treatment in the palace. "Okay, go ahead. Take good care of yourself. Since you are here to recuperate, you must listen to Master and not lose your temper."

Yuwen Ji touched her head and kissed her cheek like a child. They were so close to each other that everyone was used to it and didn't think it was a big deal.

Bai Yinan took the people away, and the mountain guards stayed behind to deal with the remaining followers of King Rui.

Yuwen Ji escorted Prince Rui and his followers into the palace. The Ninth Princess was also in the palace at the moment, and she was personally guarded by Jin Ying and Yin Ying, so she was naturally safe and sound.

Emperor Chengde looked at his son's dusty appearance and guessed that the battle at Prince Yi's Mansion must be fierce. "Is everyone safe?"

“Thank you for your concern, Father. Aside from some damage to the buildings, there are no casualties in Prince Yi’s mansion.

Fortunately, the Wan'an Valley Mountain Guards helped us, otherwise it wouldn't have been so smooth."

"Were you hurt?"

"No. The princess and the children are fine and were not frightened. When the incident happened, the princess and the children stayed overnight at the general's residence." Yuwen Ji told Emperor Mingde that Bai Yimeng and the children stayed overnight at the general's residence after returning from boating on the lake in the afternoon.

After explaining his story, Yuwen Ji knelt down and kowtowed, "I failed to protect you, father. Please forgive me."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Get up quickly." Emperor Chengde's eyes were full of kindness. He only had this one son. If he left in anger, there would really be no heir.

"How is Father Hui'er?"

The Queen pointed to the side hall and said, "Fortunately, General Long Wei settled Hui'er right away. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous."

Yuwen Ji stayed in the palace that night, and the next morning's court session ended hastily. Emperor Chengde personally interrogated Prince Rui and his son.

King Rui repeated "The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit" over and over again for more than ten times, and then he suddenly crashed into the dragon pillar and died. His son saw this, his eyes turned red, and he also crashed into the dragon pillar and died.

Treason is a serious crime. If the matter is exposed, the person will be tortured to death if he does not commit suicide.

Looking at his brother who died tragically in the palace, Emperor Chengde sighed, "Well, this is fine."

"Father, I have something else to do in the Ministry of Justice. I will take my leave now."

After the Queen, the Ninth Princess, and Hui'er left, Yuwen Ji returned to his indifferent look. "This time, thanks to the little monkey for informing me in advance, and thanks to her master for making arrangements in advance, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

She is the head of Wan'an Valley. I think she has everything she needs. I don't know what to give her. How about I go back with you to see her and the child."

"Father, to be honest, the child has not been in good health recently. Her master wants to take good care of her, so she has gone into seclusion now." Yuwen Ji bowed slightly, his attitude neither cold nor enthusiastic.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chengde frowned slightly, stood up and looked at Eunuch Chen, "Prepare your casual clothes, I want to go see the monkeys."

"Father, please don't go. He has been in seclusion last night and I haven't seen him this morning." Yuwen Ji said this, but in his heart he still hoped that his father would go to see his wife.

The father and his wife were getting awkward with each other, and he felt very awkward being caught in the middle.

While Eunuch Chen was preparing, Emperor Mingde called the young eunuch and said, "Put these and these in the box. Also, inform the cabinet that if you have anything to ask me, go to the general's mansion."

"Father, what are you going to do?"

The emperor ignored his son and looked at the little palace maid, and continued to instruct, "Go ask the Queen, the Ninth Princess, Hui'er and the others if they want to go and accompany the little girl. If you want to go, hurry up, I have almost finished packing here."

"Father, you don't have to go. The General's Mansion is in chaos now. Prince Yi's Mansion was bombed beyond recognition. If you go there, there will be no place to accommodate you.

There is no need for the Queen Mother, Xiaojiu and Huier to go..."

"You should be busy. I don't need to leave it alone. I'll take the palace maids with me, and I don't need anyone to take care of me.

By the way, is Prince Mu's Mansion close to the general?"

"Yes, it looks like they are separated by several streets, but in fact, they are only separated by a wall. This is also the reason why the child was able to easily change the secret passage mechanism of Prince Mu's Mansion."

"Great." Emperor Chengde knocked on the mechanism of the dragon throne, and Long Yi appeared and knelt down to salute.

"Break through the wall of Prince Mu's Mansion and send people to clean up Prince Mu's Mansion. I will be there in an hour." Emperor Chengde seemed a little excited.

"Father, this is not impossible, but this Prince Mu's Mansion..."

"Why haven't you left yet? Didn't I give you the right to dispose of Prince Mu's Mansion? Now I will issue another decree to give this house to Monkey. Do you have any objection?

Anyway, your Prince Yi's Mansion has been bombed, so no one can live there for a while. If everyone were to stay in the General's Mansion, I'm afraid the three brothers from the Bai family would go on strike again."

Emperor Chengde looked as if he was saying, "I can't afford to offend you."

After a while, he probably felt that it would be inappropriate not to make some requests after giving him the house. "I am old, and the imperial physician said that I cannot be overworked. From now on, you and I will each take half of the memorials.

Emperor Chengde pointed to the "half" of two books and said, "This is mine, and the two boxes are yours. Review them carefully. If you dare to fool me, I will beat you with a stick."

Eunuch Chen had already brought casual clothes and deliberately stood far away to give the father and son some space to be alone.

Emperor Chengde noticed him and deliberately said angrily, "Old fox, hurry up. Change your clothes and leave first. We can send these trivial things later."

Emperor Mingde thought it through. He only had two memorials, and the two boxes were "homework" for his son. It didn't matter when they arrived.

Thinking that he could not care about anything in the future, Emperor Chengde felt a little regretful. If he had known that he would be so happy, he would have appointed his third son as the crown prince. He could also retire early.
