The Adventures of the Crying Princess

An hour later, the Imperial Guards found two sets of night clothes in a utility room in the backyard of the Prince of Qi's mansion. After comparing the patterns on the clothes, they found that they were exactly the same as the assassin's. Not only that, they also arrested several people with suspicious behavior in the Prince of Qi's mansion.

On Su Beichen's side, he found a lot of evidence pointing to Prince Yun, and soon he brought his men to meet up with Eunuch Chen.

"Greetings to Prince Qi and Prince Yun." Su Beichen glanced at the two of them coldly.

The King of Qi smiled widely, trying to ease the atmosphere. Just as he was about to speak, Prince Yun interrupted, "Su Beichen, Lord Su, I heard that your father is worried about your future. Do you know why your elder brother is still the Minister of Rites even though they are twin brothers? And you have been doing this for many years, but you are just the Junior Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture?"

"We are all working for His Majesty, no matter how high or low the official position is, it is all God's grace. My Su family is dedicated to working for the emperor, not seeking glory and wealth." Su Beichen waved his hand and turned to look at the people below, "Go and search Prince Yun's body."

"How dare you! Su Beichen, who are you? Even if your father comes, he won't dare to search my body."

Su Beichen sneered, nodded slightly, and unfolded the imperial edict, "Your Majesty's order, Prince Yun, are you going to disobey the order? My father really won't search you if he comes, but I am responsible for the work of Jingzhao Prefecture, and it is my duty. Please forgive me, Prince."

Although Prince Yun was reluctant, he couldn't say anything.

In front of the Imperial Guards and Eunuch Chen, Su Beichen's men searched Prince Yun and found a waist badge from an underground casino and some gold beads.

Gold beads are not a circulating currency in Daxing, but because they are gold, they are barely legal.

However, this underground casino was expressly prohibited by Emperor Chengde, and the control was particularly strict for clan members and people above the rank of marquis.

Even if Prince Yun had nothing to do with the assassination, he had violated Daxing law. The Imperial Guards immediately detained the two men, and Su Beichen went to the palace to ask for permission, waiting for Emperor Chengde to deal with them.

Not long after Su Beichen left, a group of small flower snakes sneaked into the Qi Wang Mansion and bit nearly half of the imperial guards. One of the small flower snakes took advantage of the chaos to pass a letter to the Qi Wang.

"You, raise snakes?" King Qi looked at Prince Yun in disbelief.

Prince Yun was so frightened that his face turned pale and he squatted on the chair, refusing to get down no matter what. "Your Majesty, are you kidding me? I have been afraid of snakes since I was a child, you know that."

Prince Yun doesn't raise snakes, he invited Zi Yan to raise snakes. But his father didn't let him tell King Qi about this.

Although they were cousins, Prince Yun could not possibly tell King Qi everything. Just like, he contacted the illegitimate son of the owner of Songgu Tower, how could he tell King Qi about such a big thing?

……

After the morning court session, Yuwen Ji was eager to return home. He didn't like riding in a carriage before, but now he just hated that the horse didn't run fast enough.

"Master, I have already bought the crab meat steamed dumplings from Xinghua Village. They are still hot." Even though he knew that Bai Yimeng was a princess, Yi Tong still treated her as his brother in his heart.

"Okay, well done. Let's go." After saying this, Yuwen Ji returned to the carriage again.

Just as he was about to drive away, a hand reached out and blocked his way, "Brother Ji, wait for me."

Before Yuwen Ji could react, the woman in green jumped onto the carriage. Her jewelry jingled as she got on the carriage. "I'm going to Xilexuan, West Street. Thank you."

The woman was none other than Yue Wanyan, the granddaughter of Duke Yue. Yuwen Ji was stunned and looked at the woman quietly. The women in the capital were very thoughtful, and he seemed to have long been accustomed to this kind of throwing themselves into his arms.

"I'm in a hurry to return home, Wanyan, why don't you go downstairs." Yuwen Ji turned his head away, deliberately not looking at her.

"I don't! Brother Ji gave it to me before. How come we become strangers after only a few months of not seeing each other?" Yue Wanyan said as she threw herself into Yuwen Ji's arms.

Yuwen Ji felt something was wrong and dodged quickly, finally jumping off the carriage, "Wan Yan, what happened to you today?"

"You're possessed!" Just as Yue Wanyan was about to pounce on him for the second time, Bai Yimeng rushed in, blocked Yuwen Ji's way, and hugged Yue Wanyan, "My dear sister, you need warmth so much, and so does your sister. Come and let your sister hug you."

He pressed a few acupuncture points on Yue Wanyan, fed her a detoxification pill, and helped her onto the carriage, "Yi Tong, Duke Yue's Mansion."

Duke Yue was old and had retired long ago, no longer involved in state affairs. The eldest son served in the Imperial Guards, but was in fact just an ordinary guard. The second son's brother was a teacher in the Patrol Department.

Soon the carriage arrived at the Duke of Yue's mansion. The gatekeeper recognized it as the carriage from Prince Yi's mansion, greeted it, and then went to inform the police.

Soon, the housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion came out to greet them personally, "Your servant greets Prince Yi and Princess Jing'an."

Bai Yimeng had already wrapped Yue Wanyan in her purple cloak and said, "No need to say more. Please ask the housekeeper to take us to see the Duke." Outsiders could not tell who she was.

In this way, Yue Wanyan's reputation and the reputation of the Yue Mansion can be preserved.

In the main hall, the Duke had silver hair and beard, and was wearing a purple brocade robe that was slightly faded and a half-worn silk hair crown on his head.

Standing next to her was a woman dressed in brown brocade, without a single pearl or jade on her head. She was Yue Wanyan's mother, Guo.

The furnishings in the main hall are extremely simple and rustic, without a trace of luxury.

Bai Yimeng had heard from his father before that Duke Yue came from a poor family and did not like luxury.

"Girl from the Bai family? You are the little girl from the Bai family, right?" Without waiting for Bai Yimeng to greet him, the Duke's eyes were filled with tears. "Your father and I were comrades-in-arms. Now... now..."

"Father, Princess Jing'an's return is a happy occasion, why are you still crying? You have been in poor health these days, so you must not worry too much." Guo helped her father-in-law sit down.

"Duke, who do you think this is?" Bai Yimeng closed the door and pulled Yue Wanyan to the side of Duke Yue.

"Wanyan? How could Wanyan be with the princess?" Mrs. Guo pulled her daughter's hand and looked at Bai Yimeng and Yuwen Ji.

Yuwen Ji recounted what happened, "Xiaobai suspected that Miss Yue was poisoned. He brought her to the Duke's Mansion to hear your opinions."

“What should I do? Now my Duke of Yue’s Mansion is just a name and has long lost its former glory. How can I save Wanyan, my poor child?” The old Duke burst into tears again.

"Don't worry, Duke. I have Wanyan's symptoms under control for now. Unfortunately, I am not in good health now and cannot remove the poison from her. If you are at ease, why not let her stay in Prince Yi's Mansion for a while."

Guo held Bai Yimeng's hand, not knowing what to say for a moment. She looked at Yuwen Ji and bowed, "I thank you on behalf of my daughter."

Bai Yimeng pulled Guo over and said, "Madam, don't thank him. Just thank me. I remember that your eight-treasure wontons are the most delicious. When I send Wanyan back, you can treat me to wontons."

"Of course, of course." Guo thanked him repeatedly.

Yuwen Ji saw the embarrassment of the Duke's Mansion and said, "Madam, don't listen to Xiaobai's nonsense. She is the most greedy, so don't worry about it."

After leaving the Duke's Mansion and sitting in the carriage, Yuwen Ji pulled Bai Yimeng's ear and said, "Little boy, you were so shameless today. Why did you openly ask for food? If you don't know, you would think that I treated you well."

"It's really unfair. I'm still hungry now." Bai Yimeng raised his head, dissatisfaction written all over his face.

"Hungry!" Yue Wanyan repeated mechanically, imitating Bai Yimeng and staring at Yuwen Ji.

Yuwen Ji then remembered that there was another one here. Pulling Bai Yimeng's sleeve, he lowered his voice and said, "Kid, you can obviously detoxify it on the spot, why did you take it back?"

"Silly Prince, I'll pave the way for you. His Majesty will soon reuse military generals. The two masters of the Yue family are not ordinary people. It is a waste of their talents to work in the Patrol Department and the Imperial Guard.

"Your Highness has saved the daughter of the Duke of Yue, and the Yue family will certainly repay the favor. Then, Your Highness will have one more supporter."

“The old Duke is old and has long stopped caring about government affairs. Even if the two young masters are rewarded, it won’t be a big deal in the short term.

If I meet them at this time, they will definitely be grateful. You didn’t arrange for Xiaobai and Yue Wanyan to meet, did you? "

"Yes and no. Her being poisoned has nothing to do with me. But it took some effort on my part to make her appear before you."

Yuwen Ji frowned. He was a little uncomfortable with Bai Yimeng's frankness.

Bai Yimeng took a deep breath and looked outside the car. "Your Majesty, I've said before that I'm no longer the little white rabbit I used to be. If you think I'm scary, you can stay away from me."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I've known for a long time that my little white rabbit is gone. Now it's just a wolf in rabbit's skin." Yuwen Ji kissed Bai Yimeng on the scalp. "Wild Wolf Valley must be very cruel and terrible, right?"

"You know?" Bai Yimeng was somewhat resistant and subconsciously moved away from Yuwen Ji, "I..."

"No matter what you become, I will not leave you. Little kid, I know your eldest brother's words yesterday hurt you. Are you worried that I will not abandon you for a crappy future? If you think so, you are too conscienceless." Yuwen Ji hugged him tighter.

"Let go, I can't breathe." Bai Yimeng patted Yuwen Ji's arm and gasped for breath.

After returning to Prince Yi's Mansion, Yuwen Ji handed Miss Yue over to Yi Tong, and picked up Bai Yimeng and ran straight to the backyard.

Valley Master Long and Divine Doctor Guo were shocked when they saw this and hurried over, "What happened? Are you injured again? I told you not to go out unless you have nothing to do. There are so many people in the mansion accompanying you, isn't that enough?" Divine Doctor Guo was so anxious that he was sweating all over.

"Don't worry, the child is fine. It's me who doesn't let her walk because I'm afraid she'll get tired." Yuwen Ji acted shamelessly and proudly.

Bai Yimeng buried her head, she was too embarrassed to see anyone.

The two old men had lived for most of their lives, and this was the first time they had eaten so much dog food, so they were not used to it for a while. They coughed, smiled at each other, and turned away.

"Little sister, I want to talk to you. Is it convenient for you?"

"She's not convenient." Yuwen Ji ignored Bai Yinan and went straight into the room.

"I'm asking my sister, it has nothing to do with Your Highness. Besides, this is my little sister's room, Your Highness, please respect yourself."

"Brother, if you have nothing to do, just prepare to remove me from the family tree. I... I want to be quiet for a while now." Bai Yimeng buried his head in Yuwen Ji's arms.

"Little sister, big brother won't do that. You will always be the daughter of the Bai family..."

"That's enough! Xiaobai is not in good health. If you really have something wrong, I will tell you later."
