The Adventures of the Crying Princess

The main hall of Prince Yi's Palace

Yuwen Ji sat upright in the main seat, and for some reason he seemed a little uneasy when facing his enemy Bai Yimeng.

She was not afraid of her identity being known. Her parents and brother were dead, so she had no scruples. She was just a little unwilling to accept it. She wanted to overturn the verdict for her family, but she also didn't want to be targeted by the scumbag again.

Perhaps because he had too many concerns, he seemed a little uneasy. Longguzhu tucked his sleeves into his pockets, squatted at the foot of the wall, and looked coldly, like an old beggar.

Yuwen Ji was not in a hurry to ask questions, but looked at the master and apprentice. These days, he asked the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and the Jingzhao Prefecture to help check the identities of the two. The results showed that the two were dung pickers in Qingyang County.

Anyone with a brain would know without thinking that this answer is obviously wrong.

Yuwen Ji stood up and walked closer to Bai Yimeng, looking at him carefully, "Boy, what's your name?"

"Wang Ergou."

"Get out!" Yuwen Ji couldn't help but swear. He had never seen such a shameless person before and really wanted to hit him with a cup of tea.

"My name is Wang Ergou, believe it or not!" Bai Yimeng acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

Yuwen Ji wanted to hit someone. This person was talking nonsense. One second she said her last name was Long, and the next second she changed it to Wang. No one would believe her.

Yuwen Ji suddenly calmed down, "Very good, anyway, I have found out that you two are spies from Xiling Kingdom. When someone from the Ministry of Justice comes, they will take you away directly."

Who can't make up a lie? Yuwen Ji couldn't help but secretly glanced at Bai Yimeng.

"Master, we have found out. Five days ago, a caravan from Xiling entered the city. My subordinates have confirmed that the leader was Ruimuhertai, the third prince of Xiling." They had known about Yi Tong's news for a long time, and they brought it out now just to extort something out of Bai Yimeng.

"Oh, it really is the Prince of Xiling. It seems that the identity of Wang Ergou as a spy has been confirmed. Tell the Ministry of Justice that there is no need to send anyone. I will make the decision myself." Yuwen Ji deliberately raised his voice, fearing that Bai Yimeng was hard of hearing and could not hear him.

"No, Your Highness, there is no need to take care of us like this. It is better to hand it over to the Ministry of Justice and handle it impartially." Bai Yimeng is not a three-year-old child. He can't be fooled by such a little trick.

"How dare you, a daring spy who refuses to tell the truth. Come, take this spy away and give him twenty strokes of the cane first."

Yuwen Ji's face changed suddenly like turning over a book, and he suddenly turned cold and gave orders to the servant beside him.

Soon, someone brought a bench and a bamboo board from outside the courtyard. Bai Yimeng lost her momentum instantly. This was not what she was most afraid of. She subconsciously looked at her master, looking for help.

The Dragon Valley Master closed his eyes and rested, as if in a state of meditation. Bai Yimeng was even more frightened, but he didn't want to show his weakness in front of Yuwen Ji, so he gritted his teeth and pretended to be a hero, "Okay, I'll kill you or chop you up as you wish."

Yuwen Ji found it funny to see Bai Yimeng acting like a kitten pretending to be calm.

He winked at Yi Tong and waved his hand, "Why are you still standing there? Drag him away and let me beat him."

Bai Yimeng's mouth instantly shrank, and she looked like she was about to cry but didn't. Yuwen Ji couldn't hold it back any longer, so he lowered his head and tried not to laugh out loud.

The servant had received the order long ago, so of course he couldn't really do it; he was just pretending.

Bai Yimeng's mind was already spinning when he saw this string of torture instruments. "To be honest, my name is Long Ziyin, I'm not a spy, I came to Beijing with my uncle to visit relatives.

On the way, I met a carriage from Xiling Country, and they wanted to go with me. I agreed out of greed..."

"It's similar to what my master described to our people." Yi Tong informed the latest news sent back by the spies one by one.

It turned out that as early as two years ago, Yuwen Ji had realized that Xiling had ulterior motives and was afraid that someone had infiltrated his inner circle to monitor him.

This time, Prince Xiling's visit to the capital was too secretive, and the people sent by Yuwen Ji were unable to report back immediately.

"Forget it, bring the person back." Yuwen Ji glanced at Bai Yimeng and almost lost control of his expression again.

The little cat was so frightened that its face turned pale, and it looked very pitiful. It didn't look like an adult at all, but a child of fourteen or fifteen years old, or maybe a girl.

Perhaps because he was afraid that he failed to hide his aura, Yuwen Ji felt very familiar with it and stared at this little man who looked about thirteen or fourteen in shock.

His Xiao Bai should be seventeen this year, and shouldn't look like this. But that aura was clearly familiar to him, and he wouldn't make a mistake. How could he make a mistake with the lover of two lifetimes?

Just as Yuwen Ji was lost in thought, Wang Xun walked in. After bowing, he saw Bai Yimeng and Dragon Valley Master.

"You are such a loser, you are still crying, old man?" Wang Xun walked in, glanced at Bai Yimeng, and handed over the letter, "Master, everything is ready, we can start anytime."

I couldn't help but glance at Bai Yimeng again, as if to say: You are so tactless, didn't you see that I was trying to have a private conversation with the prince?

"If Your Majesty is okay, my uncle and I will leave first." After saying this, without waiting for Yuwen Ji's reply, Bai Yimeng pulled his master and ran out.

"Master, why don't you stop him?" Yi Tong had followed Yuwen Ji the longest, so he could naturally see that something was wrong with Yuwen Ji.

"Stop them. We must stop them. Inform the guards at the city gates that there are spies in the city. From now on, no one is allowed to leave the city. Check them all the way."

Seeing Bai Yimeng jumping out of Prince Yi's mansion alive and kicking, Wang Xun couldn't help but ask, "Wouldn't it be easier to just arrest him?"

Yi Tong quickly closed the door and knocked on Wang Xun's head, "Fool, there is unrest in the mansion. This is another person whose origins are unknown. Can you stay?"

"Okay, I deliberately alerted the enemy. The lake is too calm to catch fish. Yi Tong, you watch the backyard yourself. You don't have to come to my place these few days if you have nothing to do.

Wang Xun, please go to the manor west of the city to check. I always feel that there is more than one thief in the family."

"You have not slept all night. Do you want to sleep for a while or go and pay your respects to His Majesty?"

"My mother is angry with me, so you don't have to come to the palace to pay respects these days. I want to sleep for a while. Go and ask Madam Sun to make some milk tea."

Soon, Nanny Sun's milk tea was delivered to Yuwen Ji's bedroom.

After the people left, Yi Tong immediately understood Yuwen Ji's look and quickly walked in with a bowl of milk tea, "Master, I am stupid and don't know whether I should say some things or not."

"When did you become so long-winded? Just say whatever you want to say." Yuwen Ji rubbed his temples. He had not slept all night and his head was aching so much that it felt like it was about to explode.

"Every time you have a headache and can't sleep, you have to drink Nanny Sun's milk tea before you can fall asleep.

Nanny Sun used to serve the Empress, so I don’t dare to doubt it, but…I always feel that something is wrong, but I have to say it.”

"Let me make it short. Don't talk too much." Yuwen Ji's headache had long been unbearable.

"Every time you drink milk tea, you sleep well and your headache is relieved. But the next time it comes, it will be more painful and you will have nightmares. Don't you think something is wrong?"

"What do you want to say?" Yuwen Ji realized something was wrong, raised his eyelids, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Go on."

"Mammy has been here for almost a year. I started making milk tea for you a year ago. Before that, you didn't have any headaches."

There is no need to say any more unnecessary words. Yuwen Ji mobilized his inner strength to suppress the discomfort of his headache.

At this time, he picked up the bowl of milk tea, smelled it, and poured it into the potted plant next to him. The flowers turned withered yellow on the spot, and then the whole plant withered into a ball of dead grass.

"Master..."

"Oh, it seems that the dosage has been increased today. This matter must not be made public. Find a place where no one will notice and bury the flowers. This matter must not be known to outsiders."

"Madame Sun, this old bitch, our master respects her so much, but she wants to harm him." Wang Xun became more and more angry as he spoke, and was about to walk out with his sword in hand.

"Stop, this matter is not as simple as we see. Nanny Sun is an elder in the palace and she watched me grow up. I am afraid there is another hidden story behind this matter."

Yuwen Ji's head started to hurt again, and beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down his forehead.

"Master, should we ask the imperial physician to come and take a look?"

"No need!" Yuwen Ji's consciousness gradually became a little fuzzy, and he waved his hand to signal them to leave.

In the past, he knew that there was something wrong with this milk tea, but every time he drank it, he could see the person he wanted to see. After Yi Tong left, Yuwen Ji put the bowl of milk tea into his mouth, and a few drops of poisonous liquid entered his mouth.

Soon, a barefoot girl in a white gauze dress emerged. It was clearly her, the way she looked when she was twelve years old.

She is good at dancing, and also likes calligraphy, painting, and is good at writing poetry. In her previous life, before being poisoned, Bai Yimeng was a talented girl who was good at both literature and martial arts. Unfortunately, the poison caused her to lose all her internal strength and ruined her appearance.

After the dance, the woman in white disappeared, "Xiaobai, don't go..." Yuwen Ji's consciousness was getting weaker and weaker.
