The Adventures of the Crying Princess
Chapter 83 Fake Death
Spring Palace
Soon after Yuwen Ji left the capital, Emperor Chengde fell ill and did not attend the morning court for several days. After visiting the patient, the King of Qi quietly came to the concubine's bedroom.
"Son! Look, is your father's illness still serious?" Concubine Shu had been under house arrest because of the poisoning incident. Naturally, attending to the sick had nothing to do with her.
This period of confinement was enough to make a beautiful woman wither. White hair appeared on her temples and fine lines appeared around her eyes.
Seeing his mother's sad and confused expression, the King of Qi comforted her softly, "Father just has a cold, he's fine."
Shu Fei nodded slightly, "Is your uncle okay? I heard that something happened to Yuner, I'm afraid he can't bear it...
It's all the fault of the girl from the Bai family. She killed Yun'er. My Song family has a miserable life. I must avenge Yun'er. Mother heard that she is now on the battlefield, so let her stay there. "
"Mother, what you mean is..." The King of Qi was now a little confused about his mother's intentions.
Concubine Shu straightened her hair, a cunning look flashed in her eyes, "It's really hard for her to survive after being poisoned by the Soul Shattering Pill. Then, give her something else, such as the Soul Devouring Gu.
The four sons of the Xue family were all killed by her, how could Songgu Tower let her go? Let the news spread, and let them fight each other for the rest."
……
(I.e.
After the Wild Wolf joined the group, General Long Wei won victory after victory. In just three days, he recaptured five cities and the army reached the city of Xichuan.
"Little sister, you are really capable." Bai Yinan looked around and his eyes fell on the wild wolf team.
"It's Brother Hua's credit. What does it have to do with me?" Bai Yimeng rode on her brother Hua's back and looked back at the wolf pack.
After a few days of contact, Bai Yinan realized that this wild wolf named Hua Ge treated Bai Yimeng as his own child.
Sometimes, when he spoke louder to Bai Yimeng, Hua Ge would bare his teeth at him as if he wanted to eat him.
The wolves were intelligent, and when they saw Yuwen Ji approaching, they automatically avoided him, as docile as a puppy. As a result, Bai Yinan and Su Beichen secretly gritted their teeth.
After setting up the camp, Bai Yimeng followed his elder brother into Bai Yinan's tent. Yuwen Ji had been waiting for a long time. Seeing the two of them coming in, he couldn't help but sigh, "The enemy shouldn't be able to create new monsters in a short period of time. Our Daxing troops can march all the way west. In less than three days, we can recover the lost territory."
Yuwen Ji has been in a good mood recently. He didn't expect the battle to go so smoothly. He also didn't expect the little girl to be so powerful and able to control wild wolves.
Many unexpected things, many pleasant surprises. For a moment, he got a little carried away and reached out to touch her hair.
Suddenly, Bai Yimeng felt a tightness in his chest and pushed the man away. He spat out a mouthful of blood. Hua Ge rushed over and took the initiative to act as a cushion, letting the man lie on his back.
"Xiaobai!" Yuwen Ji called softly, startling General Long Wei who was outside the barracks.
The old general lifted the curtain and saw the scene in front of him, "What's going on? Wasn't it fine just now?
Brother Hua yelled, as if to warn, and all the wolves immediately rushed in, surrounded Bai Yimeng, and protected him in the middle. Except for Yuwen Ji, everyone else was eliminated by the wolf pack.
"Your Highness, go check the cooks. There's something wrong with them." Bai Yimeng wiped off the blood stains and released his previously sealed internal energy. His face instantly turned rosy.
After a pause, he said, "I found someone put something in my bowl this morning. Fortunately, I discovered it in time and didn't drink it all. Some of the poison was left behind, so it's not convenient to check for the time being.
Now, you tell others that I have been poisoned and my life is at stake, and you will play a trick with me. Okay, go and invite the marshal. I think this matter is not simple, and I want the marshal to investigate. "
Yuwen Ji nodded slightly. After playing with the little girl for so long, his acting skills have naturally improved. He squeezed out two lines of tears and wiped them away, leaving faint traces of tears.
He ran to General Long Wei and said, "Marshal, the vanguard has been poisoned and is a little conscious. She doesn't look very well. She wants to... wants to hand over the wolf pack to you. Please come over."
Hearing this, Bai Yinan grabbed Yuwen Ji and said, "Your Majesty, please explain clearly. He was fine this morning. He dared to joke with us just now. I didn't see any problem."
Yuwen Ji shook off Bai Yinan's hand, "She is now unconscious and cannot judge the poison. I don't know medicine, how can I know the cause?"
"No, I'll go and take a look too." Bai Yinan was really anxious and ran forward desperately.
Su Beichen was also thinking about Bai Yimeng, and wanted to follow and take a look. Yuwen Ji did not stop the two of them, but they could not get past the wild wolf.
General Long Wei came to the wolf pack, and the wild wolves automatically gave up their positions after receiving Bai Yimeng's orders.
Looking at the bloodstained Bai Yimeng, the old general choked up for a long time before speaking, "I feel so ashamed of your father."
When Bai Yimeng saw the old general coming in, he smiled and said, "Hey, hey, Marshal, don't be angry first, listen to my explanation.
Someone had indeed poisoned me. I had seen the method used by the other party to poison me before, so I did not fall for it. I left the poison behind, thinking that I would study it when I had time.
As for inviting you here, it is because I hope you can cooperate with me in the play, and we can work together to catch the person who poisoned. After all, it is not a good thing to have such a person infiltrate the army. "
General Long Wei nodded slightly and sighed, "Okay, I'm glad you're okay."
General Long Wei came out. He didn't need any acting skills, just a sullen face. Basically, he was either angry or furious, but of course it could also be understood as sadness.
Bai Yinan also wanted to go in and take a look, but Yuwen Ji stopped her from getting close, "Stop making trouble."
"I'm her elder brother. Can't I come and see her if she gets into trouble?"
Yuwen Ji rolled his eyes. He knew that Bai Yinan was even more stubborn than his sister. The more he was not allowed to watch, the more he would move forward. The key point was that Bai Yinan was a straight man and could not act at all. If he really told him, it would be like telling the whole world.
Fortunately, when General Long Wei came out, he called him away directly, "Yinan, go and pass the order, the whole army should rest and reorganize on the spot. Also, gather the cooks, I have something to say."
Following the Marshal's order, Bai Yinan summoned all the cooks to General Long Wei's side.
The old general sat on Bai Yinan's military couch and looked at everyone. "The breakfast you made today is pretty good. I was just thinking about how to reward you. I wonder who cooked the dishes."
For a moment, several people looked at each other, and a broad-faced man stood up and said, "Reply to Marshal, I fried it. It's not delicious, but it's absolutely safe."
Everyone has already known about Bai Yimeng's poisoning. If we ask them now, they will naturally know the reason.
At this time, a short man stood up and said, "Marshal, I cook porridge. Today we can drink some white porridge. There is no problem at all. I drank two big bowls myself. If you don't believe me, ask them."
General Long Wei didn't say anything, but looked at everyone one by one. At this moment, a cough came from the wolf pack. The purpose of summoning the cooks to question them was just to make everyone appear in front of Bai Yimeng. General Long Wei's questioning was just a cover. Bai Yimeng in the wolf pack was the key. The two of them agreed that the number of times Bai Yimeng coughed would be his number from left to right.
"Come and take the man away and interrogate him carefully. Who sent him here?"
After a while, General Long Wei entered the wolf pack again, "Little girl, have you figured out what this poison is?"
"Yes, the Soul-Severing Pill." Bai Yimeng took it to General Long Wei, "The preparation method of this pill is unusual. It uses ancient methods, which makes it more toxic. It seems that the other party really thinks highly of me."
Hearing this, General Long Wei threw away the pill. "Such a dangerous thing, why keep it if you don't destroy it?"
"Marshal, I am not as good as you in marching and fighting, and you are not as good as me in making poison. This thing is precious. It takes a lot of medicinal materials to make one. If I had this thing, I would never use it easily."
Seeing that General Long Wei didn't understand, he continued to explain, "The enemy spent a huge amount of money to make such a small thing in order to kill me. We must make use of it."
"Well, I've thought about it and I think it's not good to waste things. Just eat it. Anyway, you're just a naughty monkey, giving me a headache all day long. When the time comes, I'll give you a grand funeral, which will be my due respect to you." General Long Wei picked up the pill, wiped it and handed it to Bai Yimeng.
"Deal! I've chosen the tomb, bury me here." Bai Yimeng drew a simple topographic map on the sand and pointed to a place.
General Long Wei took a deep breath, grabbed Bai Yimeng's wrist, and lowered his voice to a very low level, "You know, whether this succeeds or fails, I will not protect you. The crime of faking your own death will be borne by you, are you willing?"
General Long Wei's eyes were stern, and he didn't seem to be joking.
"Don't worry, you won't. If you kill me, just wait for my father to come looking for you to take your life at night." Bai Yimeng rolled her eyes. She was already seventeen years old, how could she believe such a childish lie.
