The Adventures of the Crying Princess

The main hall of Prince Yi's Palace

Everyone gathered together, and it seemed as if this place had become a temporary interrogation room. Luo Jingran brought the little beggar Maomao over.

Yuwen Ji was not there, and Longgu Master and Doctor Guo were sitting in the main seats. Bai Yinan stood behind them, staring at the little beggar with eyes wide open, scaring the child so much that he burst into tears on the spot.

"Okay, Yinan, don't be like this. Ask about the matter one by one." Although Lord Longgu was anxious, he was able to keep his composure.

"Tell me, why did you lead us to West Street Crossing? What is your relationship with King Qi? Did he instruct you to do this?" Su Xiaobei's tone was not very good, but he expressed everyone's doubts.

"I don't know, it was the young master. I only obeyed the young master's orders. It was the young master who asked me to come to you... I... I really didn't... lie..." Maomao was so anxious that he burst into tears again.

"Kid, who is the young master you are talking about?" Luo Jingran walked forward, his voice gentle, and gently patted Maomao's head, "Don't be afraid, tell us nicely, we won't make things difficult for you."

"The young master is the young master." The child was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly. His eyes were filled with tears and he looked very pitiful.

"Is the young master you mentioned surnamed Bai?"

Maomao wiped away her tears, nodded to Luo Jingran, then shook her head, "I don't know."

Bai Yinan calmed himself down, walked forward, and squatted in front of Maomao, "Take a closer look, does the young master you mentioned look like me?"

Maomao thought for a moment, shook his head timidly, and then nodded, "Yes, but not very much. The young master is a good man. A very good man."

"Then, what do you mean by calling her Young Master?" Long Guzhu was very curious. Could it be that his disciple had chosen another master? This was a big deal.

Maomao was just about to speak when the doorman told him that Su Beichen was here.

In fact, everyone had seen Su Beichen long before the concierge said this. They were used to his unruly behavior and were no longer surprised.

But why is he like this today? He is wearing a black cape and looks dignified, which is completely different from his usual playful and smiling face.

Not only that, there was actually a little follower following him, which was not like his style.

"Is Lord Su okay?" Bai Yinan and Su Beichen have known each other since childhood and their relationship is better than that of brothers.

"Yinan, I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm glad to hear that you're back." Su Beichen felt as if someone pinched his lower back, and the flesh on his face twitched subconsciously.

"Did you see my little sister last night?" Bai Yinan sensed something was wrong and took a step forward.

"No." Knowing that Bai Yinan was testing him, Su Beichen was very calm, but he didn't see it last night, but encountered it this morning. So he didn't lie and was not afraid of being tested.

Bai Yinan's gaze quickly shifted from Su Beichen to the little follower beside him, "It seems that Master Su is really worried about you. From now on, Master Su, you must be more careful in your actions and don't let the old man worry about you."

"Yinan, why have you become so talkative?" Su Beichen couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he met Bai Yinan.

Bai Yinan's face suddenly turned cold, and he shouted sternly, "Bai Yimeng! If you don't show up, don't blame me for being rude."

Bai Yinan suddenly turned up the volume, scaring Bai Yimeng so much that her legs went limp and she sat on the ground.

"Hehe, Master, Uncle-master, Big Brother, Fifth Brother, Little Six." Bai Yimeng forced an awkward smile.

"Call me Sixth Brother." Su Xiaobei was not convinced and hummed in a low voice, looking like he was gloating over someone else's misfortune. "But it doesn't matter. You'll be in trouble later."

Seeing Bai Yinan approaching him, he quickly flattered him, "Brother, you look so handsome today."

Bai Yinan frowned, his fists clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound. "You decide for yourself, or I'll help you."

"Speak, I'll speak for myself." At this moment, Bai Yimeng was as obedient as a little white rabbit. "Brother, you can ask me. I'll tell you whatever you ask."

Bai Yinan broke off a branch from mid-air, held it in his hand, brushed off the dust on it, and stared at Bai Yimeng, "Kid, explain yourself."

"not mine."

"What a mess." Bai Yinan was almost vomiting blood at his sister's logic. "I'm asking you why this child calls you Young Master. Also, did you tell him to come and inform us?"

"Brother, be rational, you must be rational. This is all misunderstanding, just listen to me." Bai Yimeng swallowed, brewing his emotions.

Seeing Bai Yinan's appearance, everyone present held their breath and dared not breathe.

"Young Master, save me, this bad guy wants to beat someone up." Maomao rushed over and hugged Bai Yimeng.

Bai Yimeng curled her lips and said, "Maomao, didn't I tell you to call me sister, not Young Master? I'm not your Young Master."

"The leader said that you are our young master. If you had come to our aid, our Beggars' Sect would have been wiped out long ago. You were almost killed by the villains in order to save us..."

Bai Yimeng quickly covered Maomao's mouth and pleaded in a low voice, "It's not necessary to talk about such embarrassing things."

"Oh!" Maomao suddenly realized and nodded, "Young Master..."

"I've already said that I'm not one of them. Didn't I make it clear to your gang leader back then? I have a master, and changing my sect is tantamount to betraying my master and ancestors. Do you want to kill me?" Bai Yimeng looked at Master Long Gu guiltily.

"The gang leader said that Young Master is just an empty title, just to make the brothers in the gang be more polite when they see you."

"No, I don't care about false reputation. Tell your gang leader not to call me that anymore. I can't bear it."

Seeing that the first doubt was dispelled, Bai Yinan interrupted the conversation between the two and said, "Stop, let's talk about this later. First, where did you go last night? Did you tell this child to pass on information to us?"

"Yes, it was Maomao and I who made the agreement. The reason was that on the way to rescue Lao Su, I was worried that the other party might cheat, so I made the agreement with Maomao.

If I don't come back before midnight, then something must have happened, and I'll let Maomao come to you for help. Could it be that you went? Why didn't I meet you?"

"Of course, we also saw someone who looked very similar to you..." Luo Jingran briefly recounted what happened last night.

"Yuwen Ji was injured?" Bai Yimeng recalled the conversation between Eunuch Chen and Emperor Chengde in Chen'an Palace, and seemed to understand everything. He wanted to go and see him, but was stopped by Bai Yinan.

Yes, her problem has not been explained clearly yet, how could his elder brother and master let her go?

"I did pass that road last night, but the moonlight was very dim and I couldn't see clearly. There seemed to be few people on the street at that time."

"Then it's not the hour of midnight." Su Xiaobei rolled his eyes. "Then where did you go last night? Why did you come back only now? Don't you know that everyone is worried about you?"

"I...I was chased by the King of Qi and ran out of the city. I just came back now." Because it was a lie, he didn't dare to look at Bai Yinan.

Bai Yinan knew this sister too well, so he hit her lightly and said, "If you feel itchy, just say it. There's no need to lie."

"It hurts..." Bai Yimeng didn't care about his face and hid behind Master Longgu like a little mouse.

In the end, Bai Yimeng told the truth. Last night, she first kidnapped the King of Qi, found the right moment to escape over the wall, and ran all the way. In addition, the moonlight was dim, and she could not tell the direction, and soon she got lost.

In a panic, she entered an abandoned house. Fearing that the pursuers would come in, she hid in the rice jar in the kitchen. Unexpectedly, the jar had no bottom, and Bai Yimeng fell into a secret room. It was extremely cold inside, and she found the exit in a daze.

Bai Yimeng didn't say that after she came out of the cave, she happened to come to Chen'an Palace, where she happened to see Emperor Chengde being assassinated, and she helped save the emperor.

Bai Yimeng didn't say anything about the rescue part. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to explain it clearly and cause Bai Yinan to misunderstand her. After all, she had a criminal record.

"That's all?" Bai Yinan looked at his sister, as if trying to determine whether what Bai Yimeng said was true or false.

"Ah."

"You are really brave to go alone to rescue people, Bai Yimeng. If something happens, tell me, how will I explain it to my parents?"

Bai Yinan rubbed the branches, and it was not difficult to predict what would happen next. Bai Yimeng was so anxious that she sat on the ground and burst into tears, "Mom... my brother hit someone... Mom, save me..."

Tricks are not afraid of being old, as long as they work. Seeing her like this, Bai Yinan's heart softened instantly, and he threw away the branch and helped her up, "Can't you be a little more promising and not afraid of being laughed at?"

In fact, Bai Yinan's anger had subsided as early as when Bai Yimeng said that he almost died from a hail of arrows. "Stay in the mansion honestly these days and don't run around. Prince Yi is injured, and there won't be any crab meat dumplings for breakfast. Eat whatever is in the kitchen, and don't make any trouble." After saying this, Bai Yinan turned around and left.
