The Adventures of the Crying Princess

...Beijing

The news of the crown prince's punishment spread to Chunxi Palace, and Concubine Shu fell ill that night out of joy. The King of Qi was allowed to enter Chunxi Palace on the pretext of attending to the sick.

"Mother, please have some porridge!" The King of Qi looked at his increasingly haggard mother and felt very uncomfortable, "Father..."

He wanted to say, "Father, the emperor cares about you too," but just as he started, Concubine Shu started coughing non-stop.

After a while, Concubine Shu grabbed her son's hand and murmured, "Son, your father abandoned your mother a long time ago, but he couldn't be too heartless for the sake of your uncle's face.

It's all Bai Yimeng's fault. She is the one who made us mother and daughter like this. After mother dies, you must avenge her!"

Concubine Shu was overwhelmed with grief, she covered her face with a handkerchief and sobbed softly. After a long while, she waved her hand and said, "Let's go, don't come anymore.

My son, you have to walk the road ahead on your own. The only thing your mother can do is to draw a clear line between us and not to implicate you."

Although the King of Qi was unwilling to admit it, he knew that his mother was right. He frowned, nodded slightly, knelt down, kowtowed three times, and turned away.

After leaving Chunhua Palace, not long after walking, he ran into the crown prince who had just finished school.

In the past, the King of Qi always pretended to like children very much. But today, he particularly disliked this child.

"Second uncle..." Yuwen Hui was about to salute, but the King of Qi ignored him, turned around and walked away, as if he didn't see anything.

"The King of Qi may be worried about the Concubine Shu. Grandson, let's go to the Imperial Study Room quickly. His Majesty is still waiting to test you on your studies."

Nanny Suo used to take care of Concubine Dowager Su. She was steady and gentle. After the Concubine Dowager passed away, Emperor Chengde transferred her to take care of the Crown Prince.

During the days he lived in Chen'an Palace, Yuwen Hui's temper improved a lot. His timidity was also alleviated a lot, and he became more gentle and polite.

The prince ordered people to submit several letters of apology, wanting to regain the custody of the grandson, but was rejected by Emperor Chengde.

The Crown Princess died, and the Crown Prince's adopted son should be executed. Chengde was kind and did not hesitate to kill, so he ordered his men to send the child out of the palace and hand him over to King Mu for disposal.

As for the Crown Prince, Emperor Chengde refused to return him to the Prince no matter what.

The old emperor felt indescribably relieved when he saw his grandson. Listening to his grandson reciting the article, the old emperor secretly cursed the late Crown Princess Song.

If it weren't for that vicious woman, how could his grandson be so stupid?

"Grandpa Emperor, I heard that my third uncle returned to Beijing victoriously this afternoon. I want to go and see him riding a horse."

Emperor Chengde was overjoyed, picked up Yuwen Hui and kissed him, "Okay, finish the homework that the Grand Tutor left for you first, and then Grandpa will take you to see Third Uncle riding a horse in the afternoon."

Just after 3 p.m.

General Longwei led a group of generals to arrive at the west city gate. Emperor Chengde, holding the hand of the crown prince, and leading civil and military officials had been waiting for a long time.

The prince looked very disturbed. He tried to speak several times but was interrupted by Emperor Chengde.

The King of Qi looked listless, without any of his former dignity. Standing next to the Crown Prince, he looked more like a servant.

General Long Wei led all the soldiers to dismount and kowtow, "This general kowtows to Your Majesty."

"Old General, please stand up. Soldiers, please stand up." Emperor Chengde smiled and glanced at everyone, "Soldiers, you have worked hard.

I have ordered the slaughter of pigs and sheep to reward the three armies for their triumphant return. The three armies will celebrate for three days to comfort you for your hard work over the past few days."

Everyone knelt on the ground, shouted "Long live the emperor" and thanked his majesty for his grace.

After the army entered the city, Yuwen Ji took Bai Yimeng and Bai Yinan back to the house to change clothes. Back in the room, Bai Yimeng hurriedly called Bohe, "Sister Bohe, bring the medicine box. My shoulder injury may be festering."

"Isn't there any military doctor in the army?" Bohe regretted it right after he said it. Bai Yimeng is a girl, how could she ask a military doctor for treatment?

After taking off his outer clothes, the blood stains and scabs were stained with his pajamas. "My little ancestor, you... forget it. I need to get some water to separate the clothes from the wound.

It will hurt a lot. If you are scared, just bite the blanket or my arm." Bohe watched Bai Yimeng grow up. Seeing the little girl was seriously injured, she felt very distressed.

"No need to be so troublesome, just tear it open. I have to go to see the master soon, and then go to the palace later, so there are a lot of things to do." Seeing that Bohe didn't dare to do it, Bai Yimeng grabbed her pajamas and tore it, breaking the scabbed wound and bleeding profusely.

"Are you crazy? Why are you throwing a tantrum? Can't you wait a moment?" Mint was so distressed that tears streamed down her cheeks. She grabbed a piece of cloth to plug the wound. In the blink of an eye, the white cloth was stained red.

Bai Yimeng pressed a few acupuncture points to stop the bleeding. Bohe sobbed as she applied the medicine. Bai Yimeng secretly looked at Bohe and deliberately hummed to gain sympathy.

"Do you feel the pain now? I didn't pay attention to it at first, but you just tore it open. You little girl, just let it hurt like hell." Bohe cursed, but his hands were much lighter.

"Sister Bohe, am I not anxious? Don't be angry. You are the best. I heard that you will make eight-treasure duck for me in the evening. I love it very much." Bai Yimeng approached Bohe with a playful smile.

"Don't be so conceited. You are so naughty. How can you be so good? I'll tell your big brother to beat you up. Let's see if you dare to do it again next time." Bo He smiled through his tears, tied the gauze, and tapped Bai Yimeng's head. "Okay, change your clothes quickly, be careful not to catch a cold."

"Sister Bohe, I will go to pay my respects to Master in a while. Can you help me steal a pill of medicine to treat my internal injuries? I am not afraid of stealing from others, but I dare not touch Master's medicine."

"What? You also have internal injuries?" Bohe was extremely nervous, and Labai Yimeng insisted that she explain it clearly.

"It's nothing serious. Just take a few pills."

"No, this is not just a minor bump, we can't hide it. You have a special body now, if something goes wrong, you won't even have time to cry."

Bo He did not give Bai Yimeng a chance to speak, and turned to find Long Guzhu. Bai Yimeng quickly put away the bloody cloth and nightgown, changed into a set of clean clothes, and took the initiative to "turn himself in".

"Master, I know I was wrong." Bai Yimeng knelt down as soon as he entered Master Longgu's room.

"Get up, come to the master." After listening to Bohe's report, Longgu Master didn't have time to adjust his mood, and pulled his apprentice to his side, "Baby, why are you so unlucky this year, injured, poisoned, and beaten, let's go back to the valley."

"Master, when did you become interested in fortune-telling?" Bai Yimeng's eyes fell on the numerology album on Master Longgu's desk.

Just hearing the name, it sounds a bit like an IQ tax. Bai Yimeng's first reaction was that his master was cheated by the vendors in the market.

"What does a little brat know? Isn't it okay for the master to love learning?" Master Longgu snatched the book and threw it aside.

After pulling his apprentice to sit down and checking his pulse, the old valley master was relieved to confirm that there was no serious problem. "My dear, Master will leave soon and stay at the West Suburb Villa.

Recently, there are many things in the valley that need to be dealt with. It is inconvenient for the master to be in the city. You should be good and don't bother your elder brother.

If he gets angry, just cry, don’t talk back to him. If that doesn’t work, come and see the master.”

"Master, why do you and the brothers always look so busy? Isn't our Wan'an Valley just a small gang that grows medicinal herbs? Is it necessary to be so busy?" Bai Yimeng squatted pitifully at the feet of the Dragon Valley Master, like a punching bag.

"You are still young, so you don't need to worry about these. With Master and Senior Brothers here, you just need to be happy.
