The Adventures of the Crying Princess

Qi Wangfu Study

Early in the morning, the King of Qi changed into a dark green dragon robe, asked a hairdresser to comb his hair carefully, and secretly used some jasmine hair oil.

A person sat in the study, looking particularly reserved.

"Quickly replace this incense burner, it smells too bad. And throw that chair out for me. By the way, Zhuifeng, go to the kitchen and get some delicious snacks. Then tell Cui'er to take out the new can of tea I got and brew it.

Yueya, go and change the veil. Go get a turquoise one. Caiqing, change this painting. Replace it with Su Taifu's bamboo shadow. And..."

Zhuifeng knocked on the door, bowed and saluted, "Sir, someone is here." Zhuifeng reported the news and then left.

"Please come in!" Upon hearing this, the King of Qi quickly stood up and straightened his clothes and hair.

Soon, a man in purple, wearing a cloak and a veil, walked in. When he entered the study, he looked around, touched the tables and chairs, and knocked on the vases, like a customer entering a shop.

The purple-clad person walked lightly and had a graceful figure. Wherever she touched or walked, she left behind a faint fragrance, which was just the right amount of intensity.

"My young prince, we respectfully welcome Her Royal Highness the Princess." Yuwen Xi humbly offered the tea, "It's freshly brewed and still hot. Please heat it carefully."

The woman raised her eyebrows, took off her cloak, and didn't seem to want to take the tea. She sat down quietly. She raised her hand as if to take the tea, but her wrist passed over the tea. Her scarlet nails scratched the back of the King of Qi's hand, leaving a faint red mark. "King of Qi?"

"It is the little prince." The King of Qi's heart was beating fast and he looked a little panicked.

The woman nodded slightly, her eyes never lingering on Yuwen Xi. After walking around, she came back to the table and sat down. "I am the most beautiful woman in Xiling, and I have countless suitors. Do you still dare to touch me?"

"I have been favoring the princess for a long time, and I dare not have any improper thoughts. I just think that for the princess's great cause, someone will have to sacrifice. I am willing to pave the way for the princess. As long as the princess can let me sit on the throne of Daxing after the success, I will be satisfied."

Princess Xiling thought for a moment, a hint of contempt in her eyes, she pressed her hand and motioned the King of Qi to sit down, "You are so frank, I like it. Since the King of Qi has said so much, I will not hide it.

This princess already has a lover. If the King of Qi is still willing, then we can discuss this matter further. "

"Yes." The King of Qi said without hesitation.

Princess Xiling laughed, "Great! After the matter is done, killing Yuwen Ji and Bai Yimeng, as well as assassinating your Daxing Emperor, will all be left to me. You just need to prepare the Daxing Emperor."

Half a year ago, that is, at the end of last year, there was the Xiling marriage.

Princess Xiling conspired with the high priest to rebel and overthrow the royal power of Xiling.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of the royal family, the two of them joined forces to turn King Xiling into a puppet, that is, a marionette that was completely controlled by the high priest's consciousness.

Then a scene of a princess being kidnapped and killed was staged. In order not to arouse suspicion from others and to silence Daxing, the high priest offered to pay compensation.

Now that the political situation is stable, the high priest intends to consolidate his power and takes the initiative to find the King of Qi, wanting to cooperate with him.

The King of Qi naturally hated them to death. Bai Yimeng and Yuwen Ji would certainly cherish this opportunity.

But when he heard that the princess' plan also included killing his father, he hesitated.

"Why, you don't dare? People who have done great things since ancient times have not been particular about small matters. How can you be the ruler of a country if you are so fussy?"

Hearing the words "king of a country", the King of Qi was shocked. He bit his lip and nodded slightly, "Okay, I am willing to cooperate and follow the princess's arrangements."

"Okay, okay, Your Majesty, as long as you cooperate with us, you don't have to worry about the rest." The princess scratched the King of Qi's cheek with her nails. "Men should stay at home and study calligraphy, just to be a decoration. We women have to deal with these tricks.

At this time, the King of Qi did not understand what the word "decoration" meant, but it would not take long for him to understand.

……

five days later

After the morning court session, Emperor Chengde had been meeting with court officials in the Imperial Study. He was talking about the need to pay attention to water transport and strengthen waterway management during this year's Spring Festival. Suddenly, his eyes went dark and he passed out.

The imperial doctors took turns to examine the patient, but after more than half an hour, they still could not find any result.

The prince wanted to say something, but he couldn't get a word in. The house arrest and the cold treatment made the prince very dissatisfied with Emperor Chengde. But he dared not speak out. At this moment, he naturally didn't want to step forward to ask about his father's condition, but just stood aside and watched coldly.

Yuwen Ji anxiously pulled Doctor Sun aside and asked in a low voice, "How is Father? Why did he suddenly faint?"

"I don't know. Your Majesty's pulse is normal and he doesn't seem to be ill, but... but he just can't wake up. I really can't figure out what's going on."

Yuwen Ji's head suddenly buzzed when he heard this, and he forced himself to calm down. Suddenly, he thought of Longgu Master in the capital. Without saying anything, he left the hall and walked towards the palace gate.

Yi Tong, as usual, chatted with the palace guards. When he saw Yuwen Ji, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong, Master?"

"Don't ask yet, go and ask Divine Doctor Guo and Master Long to come."

"This morning, after breakfast, Divine Doctor Guo and Valley Master Long returned to Wan'an Valley. They said they were looking for medicine for the little princess. But did something go wrong?"

"Well, then go find Luo Jingran. It's better to call Xiaobai because his medical skills are not good. Be careful when you speak and don't scare her." Yi Tong responded and drove away.

Less than half an incense stick of time later, Yi Tong drove the carriage back. When the carriage stopped, Yuwen Ji stepped forward, lifted the curtain, and was about to carry Bai Yimeng out of the carriage. Unexpectedly, he was pushed away by the other party.

She jumped down lightly and passed by Yuwen Ji naturally. Yuwen Ji rubbed his nose and looked at the person in front of him warily, "Who are you?"

"My Lord, I am..."

"Hehe, this is interesting." A voice came from the treetops. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. They saw another Bai Yimeng standing on the treetop, laughing loudly, tilting her head and looking at the impostor, "Sister, to be honest, your disguise skills are not up to par."

Bai Yimeng curled her lips and said, "Look at how formally you are dressed. I can tell you have no experience. How can someone who jumps around all day dress so formally? You should dress more casually like me."

The counterfeit glanced at her with a look of disgust and said, "You country woman, you don't know what you are talking about." After saying that, he was about to walk into the palace gate.

Worried that Bai Yimeng might get into trouble, Yuwen Ji flew up the tree and brought him back to the ground, "You are not allowed to climb high or fight at the palace gate."

Bai Yimeng stuck out his tongue and tapped the fake person through the air, "I have followed this person for a long time. I will tell you in detail later."

Yuwen Ji didn't bother to ask more questions and took her into the palace. The fake one was thrown into the carriage by Yi Tong. Anyway, the prince would not want this carriage anymore.

About half an incense stick of time had passed, and there was a hissing sound in the carriage, followed by an explosion. Yi Tong was shot out before he could react, and the guards at the palace gate were also knocked unconscious by the gust of air.

A small group of people had already ambushed on both sides of the palace gate, waiting for the sound of the explosion, and then rushed into the palace.

The explosion was so loud that even the ministers in the imperial study were startled.

"Go and see what happened." The King of Qi directed the palace servants, acting like an elder brother, completely ignoring the reaction of the Crown Prince.

The prince looked a little awkward and didn't seem to want to talk much. He just coughed, as if to remind him of his identity.

Yuwen Ji brought Bai Yimeng to the main hall and explained the situation to everyone. Among the civil and military officials, some who recognized Bai Yimeng expressed their agreement that she could treat the emperor. Those who did not recognize her shook their heads, thinking that this was nonsense.

For a moment, there were many different opinions. For some unknown reason, the crown prince suddenly stood up to support Bai Yimeng, "I have heard for a long time that Wan'an Valley has great medical skills. I heard before that Princess Jing'an saved the third child. I think she is really capable. Father's body is precious, so please be careful with these, Princess, don't make any mistakes."

The prince's words were more like watching a show than supporting it. Anyway, the old emperor was dead, and it was Prince Yi and the Bai family who were unlucky. What did it have to do with him?

At this time, the palace servant who went to the palace gate to inquire about the news came back, "It's bad, there was a mutiny at the palace gate, someone caused an explosion, and injured the palace gate guards. Right now, a group of men in black have sneaked in and may endanger Your Majesty at any time.

"Third brother, you are so brave. You were the only one who went out just now. As soon as you came back, a mutiny broke out at the palace gate. If not, you saw that our father was critically ill and took the opportunity to lead people to break into the palace. What other explanation do you have?" The King of Qi looked very proud, as if he had finally caught Yuwen Ji's handle.
