The Adventures of the Crying Princess

Chapter 75: Things Lost in Qi Palace

Three days later, the old valley master and Doctor Guo removed all the poisonous insects from the blood ganoderma and refined it into a medicine. After Bai Yimeng took it, his complexion was obviously much better.

Yue Wanyan's condition was not serious and she recovered after taking a few doses of medicine.

Bai Yimeng sent the man back to the Duke of Yue's mansion as promised. The little foodie also brought grains, chicken, duck, fish and vegetables, and pestered Mrs. Guo to make her eight-treasure wontons.

Mrs. Guo's production process of Eight Treasures Wonton is different from others. Not only does she use eight kinds of poultry to make soup, but she also uses eight kinds of grains as stuffing. It is fresh but not greasy, and leaves a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth.

After eating and drinking, Yuwen Ji just finished his morning court session and took the person back.

"Little greedy cat, aren't you afraid of bursting your stomach after eating so much?" Yuwen Ji poked Bai Yimeng's bulging belly, "I think you have grown a little taller recently. It seems that the poisonous blood ganoderma is quite useful."

The weather was overcast early in the morning. Bai Yimeng looked up at Yuwen Ji and said, "I don't know what to do about my elder brother's matter. Can you help me make a decision?"

Bai Yimeng rarely sought his opinion, so Yuwen Ji excitedly hugged her and kissed her on the face, "Okay, you tell me."

"I don't know how to face him. I feel unhappy when I see him, but I don't really want to break off the relationship with him.

He is my only relative. There is nothing wrong with his choice of career, but I just feel wronged." Bai Yimeng lay on Yuwen Ji's legs and cried.

Yuwen Ji felt his wet pants and immediately picked him up. "Little ancestor, you can cry, but let's go to another place. I have to go to the Ministry of Justice soon. If my colleagues see me, they will think I wet my pants."

"You are not fair. I am talking to you about something serious. Why are you so annoying? I will ignore you." Bai Yimeng wiped her tears, turned her head and ignored Yuwen Ji.

"If you don't know how to deal with it, you can put it aside for now and let time solve it. During this period of time, you can avoid him. Let both of you calm down." Yuwen Ji hugged the person tightly in his arms.

The carriage stopped in front of Prince Yi's mansion. "Child, I have something to do today, so I can't carry you in. Can you get off by yourself?"

"I don't want to see my big brother, why don't you take me to work. I'm very good."

Yuwen Ji held his forehead with his hand, "Have you heard of any adult who brought his family with him during work?"

"Su Beichen, he did. I saw it with my own eyes. He took his little Heizi to Jingzhao Prefecture."

Yuwen Ji held his forehead with his hand, "Xiao Heizi is a dog, you are a human, let's not go."

"Its name is Xiao Hei Zi, and mine is Xiao Bai Zi, pretty much the same."

Yuwen Ji didn't intend to argue with her. He threw the man off the carriage with one hand and said, "Yi Tong, run!"

Thinking about the case he was going to handle today, Yuwen Ji's mind was filled with lawsuits.

The peacock screen bestowed by the Emperor on the Prince of Qi's palace disappeared, and the Prince of Qi pointed out that it was after nightfall five days ago.

Five days ago, Bai Yimeng broke into the Prince Qi's mansion at night. All the evidence provided by the Prince Qi pointed to Bai Yimeng.

The housekeeper of the Prince of Qi's mansion ran to the Ministry of Justice every few days, which made Yuwen Ji very worried.

As soon as they stepped into the Ministry of Justice together, Yuwen Ji was ready to be greeted by his "creditor".

After sitting there for a whole day and handling more than ten small cases, Yuwen Ji didn't see the steward of the Prince of Qi's Mansion until the evening, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After returning to the palace, he went to visit Bai Yimeng first. After knocking on the door for a long time, no one answered. Just when Yuwen Ji was about to break in, Bohe came out and bowed, "Your Majesty, please stop. Xiaoqi said that she is now well and will not bother you anymore." After that, she closed the door directly.

Bihe is Bai Yimeng's good sister in Wan'an Valley. She heard that Bai Yimeng was not feeling well recently, so she came all the way to take care of her.

Yuwen Ji chuckled, which meant he was angry. "Xiaobai, I bought your favorite milk cake. Are you sure you don't want to eat it?"

Bohe came out again, "Prince Xiaoqi has fallen asleep, you can go back now."

"Did you go out to play?" Yuwen Ji sensed something was wrong and asked tentatively.

"Yes, after leaving the palace, we went to the lake outside the city. She is really tired now."

Looking at Bohe, then looking inside, Yuwen Ji always felt that having one more person around Bai Yimeng would be a hindrance.

After Yuwen Ji left, Bai Yimeng tilted her head and smiled at Bohe, "Sister Bohe, I'm sorry to have to ask you to be my maid."

"What nonsense! I am also responsible for taking care of you in the valley, just with a different name." Bohe poked Bai Yimeng's cheek, "I will take you to eat delicious food tomorrow and go to bed early. Your sister Bohe is here and she will not let you be bullied."

Yuwen Ji turned back and happened to hear this conversation. He remembered something and ran straight to the palace.

Emperor Chengde had already gone to bed, and when he heard the messenger yell at Eunuch Chen, "I don't see you."

"Your Majesty, Ji'er came to the palace so late, I'm afraid there is something urgent, you should meet him."

Yuwen Ji calmed down along the way and questioned the emperor, which was obviously not wise.

Seeing Emperor Chengde, he knelt down and said, "Father, your son is wronged. Please help me."

"You are the Minister of Justice. You should judge the grievances yourself. Why are you coming to me in the middle of the night?" Emperor Chengde rubbed his brows.

"My son is suing the prince of Prince Mu's Mansion for assassinating the prince." After saying this, Yuwen Ji bowed down.

"I have tried this case before, and you were present at the time." Emperor Chengde waved his hands impatiently, "Get out, and don't make me unhappy."

"Father, please understand. What I am talking about is not what happened a few days ago. Rather, it is what happened just now.

Around 5 p.m. this afternoon, my son encountered an assassin on his way back home from the Ministry of Justice." Yuwen Ji bared his arm, and the palm-sized wound was exposed, looking shocking.

The queen saw Yuwen Ji's arm and rushed over to him, "My son...my dear, what should I do? Your grandmother will be back soon. How sad she will be when she sees you like this?"

After all, the queen is the woman at the top of the food chain in the palace fighting. She can see the danger her son is in, so her wailing naturally has its purpose.

Emperor Chengde helped the queen sit down and said, "Don't worry, Queen. I will take care of it."

He turned around and ordered Eunuch Chen, "Bring Prince Yun here."

Prince Yun was charged with many crimes, including secretly running casinos and money houses, illegally trafficking women, and keeping killers.

If the assassination of the prince is confirmed, it will be a capital crime.

"Ji'er, you said that Prince Yun assassinated you. That's impossible. Prince Yun has been detained in the Dali Temple all this time." Emperor Chengde's eyes were full of hesitation. He looked at the door and then at his son.

"Your Majesty, Prince Yun has escaped from prison." At this moment, Eunuch Chen walked in and informed the emperor of this shocking news.

Emperor Chengde was shocked. "When did this happen? Why did you report it just now?"

"The jailer said that he was still there during the patrol at 5 p.m., but disappeared at 7 p.m. Most of the time, he would come back on his own at 12 p.m. or 11 p.m. Therefore, the jailer did not pay much attention to it..."

"Nonsense, wouldn't the prison be his villa? Arrest the guards on duty and interrogate them to see if they participated in the jailbreak. Bring people to search and make sure they find him for me." Emperor Chengde took a deep breath and looked at Yuwen Ji. "Are you feeling better now? Your little girl didn't care about such a serious wound?"

"The little girl is sick. She had a fever when she returned from the palace. I also want my father to send someone to check on her. I suspect someone wants to harm us."

"Pah, pah, pah, stop talking nonsense." The queen had never heard of such things before. She immediately covered her son's mouth.

"That little girl is not sick, she was just taught a lesson by me. What's wrong? She broke into the Prince of Qi's mansion, stole the imperial gift, and even talked back to me. Shouldn't she be beaten?" Emperor Chengde frowned, "Third brother, you are already grown up. The young lady of the Duke of Yue's mansion is interested in you and said that you saved her life. In my opinion, you are better than that little monkey."

"My son doesn't like her. Father, don't you like the little girl very much? Why?" Yuwen Ji was dumbfounded. He didn't think things would develop to this point.

"I really like her. But look at this girl, she is too lawless. She can enter the Prince of Qi's mansion at will, smash the things given by the emperor at will, and break into the palace at will. Even when she talks back to me, she has her own set of rules.

Does she still respect me as the emperor? Does she still respect the law? If it weren't for the face of the Marquis of Zhenbei, I would have killed her long ago."

"Father..."

"Well, it's getting late and I'm tired. Please kneel down and greet me."

The queen stepped forward and lowered her voice to persuade her son, "It's not your father's fault that he is angry today. This girl really deserves to be beaten. How could she talk back to the emperor? She is so bold.

Go back and talk to her, don't do it again. Your father is just angry, don't argue with him, let your mother persuade you, and you can leave now."
