The Adventures of the Crying Princess

Chapter 4: Revisiting the Willow Grove

After the palace banquet, the queen took Yuwen Ji aside and asked him all sorts of questions.

I just want to know if he has a girl he likes, "Ji'er, your elder brother is useless.

Don’t you know that the Crown Princess is just a vixen. How can she look like the mistress of the Eastern Palace at all?

Son, you can't marry the daughter of the Song family. Prince Mu, do you know where he came from? He is a butcher, and his ancestors once opened a brothel..."

Yuwen Ji quickly covered the queen's mouth and said, "Mother, you can't just say this. Even if it's true, you can't say it.

Don't worry, I will never marry the daughter of the Song family. Xiaobai was killed by Madam Shu. I have no evidence, but I just know it."

"My mother is also responsible for Xiaobai's death. Why didn't you take good care of this child back then?" The queen paused, "Son, no matter what, it has been five years.

That child must have been reincarnated into another family. Don't stay single for the rest of your life because of guilt.

The queen mother's health is getting worse day by day, and she may pass away someday. It would be better for you to find a wife for her as soon as possible so that you can have a grandson."

"Mother, you are here again. Hui'er is my eldest brother's biological son, and your eldest grandson. Now my brother the crown prince has married a new sister-in-law, and my son looks good..."

“Oh my…” The Queen cried out in agony when she heard Yuwen Ji praising Song, “My silly son, your elder brother is silly, and you are silly too.

How could Song Shi, who looks like a fox with her aunt, be the mistress of the Eastern Palace? If it weren't for that concubine Shu whispering in His Majesty's ear, how could the prince be interested in her?"

Yuwen Ji patted his head, he felt a little dizzy. Seeing that his mother was very angry, he hurried forward to rub her shoulders, "Mother, my elder brother has liked Sister Song since he was a child, you know that. I see that this Sister Song is different from her aunt. Yesterday..."

"Okay, I see clearly now, you are just as confused as your elder brother.

Can a vine produce two kinds of melons? How come you don't understand such a simple truth? That little Song has been like a fox since she was a child. Whose good girl would play with boys all day long? "

"Xiao Bai used to play with me a lot, but it didn't stop you from liking her."

"How can they be the same? Xiaobai is just a little white rabbit, soft, silly, and cute. But Song is just a big-tailed wolf."

The queen became angrier and angrier as she spoke. Finally, when she saw that she couldn't convince Yuwen Ji, she pushed him out and said, "Go away. Don't come to the palace to pay respects these days. I get annoyed just by seeing you."

Yuwen Ji was waiting for this sentence, otherwise, he would not have mentioned Xiaobai at this time. After receiving the amnesty, Yuwen Ji left the palace quickly and took a shortcut to the west gate.

Yi Tong had already prepared the horses and was waiting at the city gate. The two of them rode at full speed and headed straight for the willow forest. "Master, why did you come out so quickly? I thought I had to wait a little longer." Yi Tong noticed that Yuwen Ji's face looked strange and asked tentatively.

"Oh! Father was worried about government affairs and left early. I just talked to Mother for a few words and came out." Yuwen Ji looked at the hills not far away. It seemed that they had reached their destination. He pulled the reins and said, "Yi Tong, the atmosphere here is not right. Are you sure you sent someone to check it out in advance?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a whistling sound in the distance. Yi Tong exclaimed, "Oh no, there's an ambush!"

In fact, his warning was completely unnecessary. As soon as the sound was heard, rows of black feather arrows flew over from the other side of the bush. Yuwen Ji drew out his sword and slashed left and right, cutting down the black feather arrows in a few strokes.

"It seems that the other party does not intend to kill us. Yuwen Ji looked around, pointed to the bushes not far away, and made a gesture, indicating Yi Tong to go and check.

"Master, I have arranged the best secret guards in the mansion. Logically, there shouldn't be such a big mistake." Yi Tong moved quickly, dealt with several men in black behind the bushes, and presented their badges to Yuwen Ji.

Yuwen Ji looked at the waist badge made of black jade, as if he understood something, he pulled the corner of his mouth, sneered and gave it back to Yi Tong, "Kick it well, this will be useful in the future."

"Sir, in your opinion, are there any ambushes nearby?" Yi Tong dared to say this because he was sure that the ambushers had retreated.

"Don't act cute, are you testing me?" Yuwen Ji poked Yi Tong on the shoulder, "Let's go and find our people."

The two had just walked less than ten steps when they heard a rustling sound from the bushes not far away. They stopped and looked over, only to see a leopard staring at them with a bit of hostility.

The two recognized that it was the leopard from that day, and it seemed to be called Dahua. Yuwen Ji had some unspoken emotions in his heart, not excitement or desire, but a slight sense of loss.

The fact that the leopard was still alive meant that the boy that day could not possibly be his Xiao Bai. His Xiao Bai would not be so cunning, and would not really kill him.

He thought he had found what he had lost, but in the end it was all in vain. Before Yuwen Ji could get over his sorrow, the leopard suddenly pounced on him. This leopard seemed to be cursed by someone, extremely ferocious and sturdy.

The master and servant fought with the leopard again. They were both good at martial arts and had killed a lion together before. But at this moment, they were often at a disadvantage.

Bai Yimeng, who was standing on the treetop, rested her cheek on her hand and observed the leopard carefully. She had clearly killed this guy a few days ago, so how could it be alive?

With her experience in the martial arts world, she could only conclude that the leopard had been poisoned. Logically speaking, the tree branch that day had injected her internal energy, so even if it was poisoned, it would not survive.

From the leopard's eyes, it can be seen that the leopard has long lost its vitality, but it is still alive. Not only is it alive, but it can also hurt people.

The word "puppet" suddenly popped up in her mind, but she quickly dismissed it. To control a puppet, there must be a puppeteer, but there was clearly no trace of a puppeteer nearby.

Before she could figure it out, she saw the leopard fell to the ground when he saw Yuwen Ji. Bai Yimeng instinctively slapped the leopard through the air and sent it flying dozens of meters away. She leaped to the side of the leopard and soon saw clearly that there were still marks on his chest from the stab wound she had stabbed that day.

In other words, the leopard was first poisoned by a Gu, killed by her, and then refined into a puppet. This means that there must be a Gu master and a puppet master in the Xiling delegation.

"It's you again!" Yi Tong ran over and pushed Bai Yimeng angrily, "I wonder if you're done yet, are you trying to trick us and defraud us of our money again?"

Yuwen Ji also rushed over. He observed the boy in front of him quietly without saying a word. After five or six days of searching, he could not find any information about the boy.

Seeing Bai Yimeng didn't say anything, Yi Tong started to attack again, "What, are you feeling guilty? You blackmailed us before, and now you are afraid? I tell you, I now suspect that you are a spy sent by Xiling. Come on, follow me to see the official."

Bai Yimeng turned around with a cold face and looked at Yi Tong like a fool, "I don't know you, don't bother me."

"Kid, who are you? I've been looking for you for a long time, but I can't find any information about you. What's your relationship with Xiling? What's your purpose in coming to the capital? Or who sent you here?" Yuwen Ji opened his arms to block Bai Yimeng's way, "Explain yourself clearly, or don't even think about leaving."

"Can you stop me?" Bai Yimeng sneered, "It would be easy for me to kill you. You don't deserve to know who I am?"

Yuwen Ji grabbed her arm and said, "I'm not kidding you."

Bai Yimeng stared at the familiar face and found it inexplicably funny. He actually thought he could still control her. He actually thought that she was still the little white rabbit that could be manipulated by others?

Bai Yimeng exerted his strength, and his inner strength shook Yuwen Ji's hand away. He looked back with a sneer, "If you can catch up with me, I will tell you who I am."

After saying this, Bai Yimeng turned into a shadow and disappeared at the end of the sky.
