The Adventures of the Crying Princess
Chapter 41 Unexpected Guardian
After returning to the palace, Lord Longgu brought Yuwen Ji into the room and carefully treated his wound.
Not long after, Doctor Guo returned. He was so angry when he learned that Bai Yimeng was disguised as an assassin from Prince Qi's mansion.
Having been in the world for many years, he prides himself on having a keen eye, so how could he have made a mistake?
Everyone gathered at the door until the sky turned white, and then Longgu Master came out of the room. Yi Tong hurriedly went to greet him, "How is the master?"
"It's okay. Just stay in bed for a few days and you'll be back to normal." Dragon Valley Master wiped the sweat off his face and couldn't help but sigh, "I'm old now. I wasn't this weak before."
Master Longgu is not old, he is worried about his disciple. He is uneasy and has lost his internal energy to Yuwen Ji. How can he not be tired?
Bai Yinan's eyes were full of regret, "It's all my fault. I didn't even recognize my own sister."
Wang Xun walked forward and looked around, "Master, are you still awake? Eunuch Chen is here and said that His Majesty wants to see our Master."
"No need to ask, it must be the evil Prince Qi who complained first and said bad things about me in front of Your Majesty." Yi Tong looked in the direction of the door. "Now, even if I wake up, it's useless. How can I enter the palace with such a serious injury?"
"That's easy. Tell that Eunuch Chen that Prince Yi was assassinated last night and is now unconscious. If he doesn't believe it, bring him to see us. Prince Qi is the wicked one who made the first complaint, so why don't we tell the truth?"
After Su Xiaobei finished speaking, he stepped aside and couldn't help looking into the distance.
When Eunuch Chen heard that Yuwen Ji had been assassinated, he naturally wanted to visit him. He looked around and didn't notice anything unusual, so he nodded slightly and said, "I know about it and will tell your majesty the truth.
Your Majesty is a wise ruler, so he will not wrongly accuse anyone. Yi Tong, you two, take good care of him. Prince Yi is seriously injured this time, so we cannot neglect him."
Yi Tong and Wang Xun nodded in agreement. Eunuch Chen saw that their eyes were red and they must have not slept all night, so he couldn't help but sigh, "Don't worry, the prince is blessed with a long life and will be safe.
If His Majesty knew about Prince Yi's condition, he would definitely send a royal physician to diagnose him, so you can rest assured."
In the past, when he was in the palace, Eunuch Chen liked these two guards very much, and now he saw them even more kindly. After a few pleasantries, Eunuch Chen got up and returned to the palace to report.
After Eunuch Chen left, Lord Longgu and other talents showed up and their top priority was to find Bai Yimeng.
"That child named Maomao is our Young Master Xiaoqi. It seems that Prince Yi knows the reason. Unfortunately, he is still unconscious. You are close to Prince Yi, do you know anything about the inside story?" Luo Jingran looked at Yi Tong and Wang Xun.
"These past few days, I only took Brother Long with me when I went out. I wasn't allowed to follow us, and even the secret guards were withdrawn." Yi Tong was also very worried about Bai Yimeng and was extremely anxious.
"Nonsense, what if something happens? It must be my little sister who instigated it!" Bai Yinan knew Prince Yi's current situation very well. Going out without the secret guards was tantamount to seeking death.
"We don't know!" Yi Tong had long regarded Bai Yimeng as his own brother. No matter whether she was a man or a woman, she was their brother.
Just after the Si hour, Yuwen Ji slowly woke up. He looked very weak due to excessive blood loss.
Yi Tong told Yuwen Ji that Eunuch Chen had come. Yuwen Ji nodded slightly, as if he didn't care much about it. He turned his head and looked at Long Guzhu, "Little boy, are you back?"
"not yet."
"Your Highness, do you know why that kid named Maomao last night called him Young Master Xiaoqi?" Su Xiaobei was not as gentle as the others. He went straight to the point.
"I don't know. The child didn't say." Yuwen Ji's voice was hoarse and his breath was weak.
"Just let her get away with it. This time, she's missing and we can't even find a clue." Luo Jingran held it in for a long time and couldn't help complaining, "I should have never listened to her. I should have carried her back to the mountain. I don't want to see who dares to touch her."
"Okay, Old Five, why are you like Old Six, telling everything?" Bai Yinan glared at Luo Jingran. He was also worried, but Doctor Guo was right. The more anxious he was, the calmer he had to be.
"Let's find the child first, maybe he knows where Xiaobai is." Yuwen Ji looked towards the door.
Chen'an Palace...
Emperor Chengde learned the news that Yuwen Ji was assassinated. There was a slight surprise in his eyes. He gave Eunuch Chen a few instructions, turned his head and looked at Bai Yimeng, his eyes full of complicated emotions.
"Your Majesty, you have been looking at me for half an hour. There is nothing wrong with my face. What's there to see?" Bai Yimeng was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. Not only did he not kneel when he met the emperor, he also spoke to him in a disrespectful manner.
"How dare you!" Emperor Chengde threatened, deliberately putting on a fierce look, "Aren't you afraid that I will chop off your head?"
"You won't."
"why?"
"Needless to say, I saved you. You are a wise king, it is impossible for you to do something ungrateful." Bai Yimeng put on a reckless attitude.
Emperor Chengde laughed instead of getting angry, "I wonder what the Marquis of Zhenbei would think when he sees you like this? He attaches great importance to rules."
"That's right, father does value rules, but didn't you chop him off anyway?" Bai Yimeng rolled his eyes.
Emperor Chengde was speechless for a long time. He walked closer and lowered his voice, "I know it was you who came that night. You pretended to be your father and came to chat with me, right?"
"So what?"
"Since you can say those words, you should understand your father." Emperor Chengde's eyes were red and his voice was slightly hoarse.
Bai Yimeng snorted coldly, "I understand my father, but that doesn't mean I have to understand him. Even if I understand my father and you, who can understand me?
I lost my family at the age of twelve, wandering alone in the market, fighting for food with vicious dogs and vying for territory with beggars. Can you understand that feeling?"
Bai Yimeng stared with her eyes wide open. She was not afraid of anything at this moment. The anger that had been suppressed for many years burst out all at once, as if it was going to devour her.
"I will make you my adopted daughter and find you a good family. From now on, whatever you want, I will grant it as long as I have it." Emperor Chengde observed Bai Yimeng's face and expression. She was dressed in men's clothes, and she looked too much like the young Marquis of Zhenbei.
For a moment, I was a little dazed and reached out to touch her face. Finally, I realized that something was wrong and immediately retracted my hand.
Bai Yimeng really didn't want to do anything. Killing the king would cause chaos in the world, and she would be sorry for her ancestors of the Bai family, and even more sorry for her parents.
She just wanted to make a statement and clear her family's grievances.
After thinking for a moment, he murmured in a low voice, "No need. My Bai family is not a small family. We can sell ourselves for some false reputation and some money."
"So what do you want?" Emperor Chengde sighed softly, "I'm surprised and happy that you can save me today. Child, adult affairs should not involve you..."
"Stop, I'm not your child, don't yell so enthusiastically." Bai Yimeng curled his lips and continued after a while, "The King of Qi is colluding with Manjiang, and the evidence is in the secret room of his bedroom. You can do whatever you want."
Emperor Chengde nodded slightly, with a look of relief and joy in his eyes. He suddenly came to his senses, took out a palace ban card, and handed it to Xiao Chenzi, "Go and see Princess Jing'an off."
How could someone serving the emperor not be smart? Eunuch Chen caught up with Bai Yimeng and stuffed the badge into her hand, "Princess Jing'an, please stay. His Majesty likes you very much. If you have time, come to the palace often to talk to His Majesty. Just don't climb over the wall again."
Bai Yimeng looked at the waist badge in her hand. This was the one she had before, and it still had her title on it. She didn't expect the old emperor still kept it. Things have changed and people have changed. For a moment, she was overwhelmed with emotions. "Thank you, eunuch."
"My princess, you are too kind to me. In the past, the Marquis of Zhenbei took good care of me. Seeing that you have grown into a young lady, I am really happy for you. I am here to escort you back to the palace in compliance with His Majesty's order.
I can see that His Majesty is very happy that the princess saved him today."
Bai Yimeng actually wanted to say that she really didn't intend to save the old emperor. She was mainly trying to escape, and came to the palace in a daze.
At that time, in order to get rid of the people in the Prince of Qi's mansion, she mistakenly entered a private house. The house was extremely desolate and it was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.
Seeing that the pursuers were about to break in, Bai Yimeng jumped into the rice jar in desperation.
There was naturally no rice in the rice jar. To her surprise, the bottom of the rice jar was empty, and she fell directly into a secret room.
With years of experience in the martial arts world, she finally found the secret room and came to a tunnel. The tunnel was very long and dark. Fortunately, after her rebirth, her five senses were very strong and her night vision ability was also developed.
Even without a fire starter, she could still clearly identify the direction. What surprised her was that although the tunnel was very long, it had no traps and no forks in the road.
Soon she came to the exit, pressed the button, and with a creaking sound, the stone door opened, revealing a secret room.
There were sounds of fighting coming from above the secret room. Bai Yimeng was curious and went to the exit of the secret room.
I happened to see that the people from the Inner Court were surrounding a dozen men in black. The two sides were evenly matched and it was difficult to determine who was the winner.
Bai Yimeng didn't know whether he was having a seizure or what, but he joined the battle in a daze and finally helped the Nei Ting Division capture the assassin.
All of this was seen by Emperor Chengde who was hiding nearby. Emperor Chengde was skeptical at first, but Bai Yimeng was not sure whether the old emperor believed her in the end.
The carriage turned into the alley and was about to arrive at Prince Yi's Mansion. Bai Yimeng withdrew his thoughts. His heart was beating fast, and he lifted the curtain of the carriage, "Eunuch Chen, why don't you just leave me here."
"That's impossible. His Majesty's order requires us to send you back home safely."
Bai Yimeng was not thinking well, she just didn't want to die miserably. Because of her face, she couldn't say it directly, "Well, my master has a bad temper. If he knew that I didn't come back all night, I would definitely... You can understand, please put me here and let me think about it.
It is not easy for too many people to know about Bai Yinan's affairs, so Bai Yimeng can only let her master take the bad name.
Eunuch Chen almost burst out laughing, and asked caringly, "We can say something good for you, but you insist on carrying it all on your own?"
"Thank you, eunuch. It's really not necessary. I'll just think about it." Bai Yimeng took a deep breath and got off the carriage.
Eunuch Chen didn't know what to say anymore, so he bowed and took his men back to the palace to report.
Bai Yimeng tilted her head and looked at the gate of Prince Yi's mansion. After trying several times, she still didn't dare to go in, so she simply squatted at the foot of the wall, waiting for someone to come in or out so that she could sneak in.
"Xiaobai? Why are you here?" After Su Beichen tilted his head to confirm, he also squatted under the wall.
