The Adventures of the Crying Princess

Chapter 95 The King of Qi’s Thoughts

Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at Yuwen Ji, the King of Qi coughed and secretly glanced at Bai Yimeng, as if waiting for something. Seeing that Bai Yimeng didn't respond, he coughed again.

The civil and military officials were still waiting for the King of Qi to continue, but what they got was a long series of coughs. There was a hint of resentment in everyone's eyes.

"King Qi, is your throat sore?" Bai Yimeng walked forward and scratched his neck with her fingernails.

The light in the King of Qi's eyes returned again. He swallowed and was about to speak. Bai Yimeng pressed his lips with his finger, "Is that so?"

Everyone was stunned and looked at the two curiously. Bai Yimeng's voice suddenly changed into another person's, "Are you expecting something?"

The King of Qi's face turned pale instantly. This voice was clearly Princess Xiling's. But... this was impossible. The King of Qi's mind raced, but he couldn't figure out why this was happening.

Bai Yimeng loosened his hand, rolled his eyes at him, and returned to his own voice, "Fool, you were deceived by Princess Xiling. Princess Xiling met you that day.

He came to Prince Yi's mansion again and talked to me for a long time. In the end, he said he wanted to give me some advice.

My aunt likes to play with smart people, so she agreed to her request and wanted to see how she would do it. Unexpectedly, she actually did this.

Playing bombs with me? Want to take advantage of the chaos to break into the palace? Does she think that my eldest brother is a vegetarian? "

Bai Yimeng poked the King of Qi on the head, looking very disappointed with him.

"Then, the one who rushed in wasn't..." King Qi was stunned, staring at Bai Yimeng in amazement.

Bai Yimeng took a deep breath and said, "The ones who rushed in were disguised as imperial guards. I agreed with His Majesty to put on a show for fun, and His Majesty agreed."

Emperor Chengde opened his eyes, smiled and waved to the imperial physician beside him, "My dear ministers, don't be nervous, I'm fine. I was just playing with the children and catching a few spies."

"Father, are you really okay?" Yuwen Ji was overjoyed and knelt down and kowtowed on the spot.

The prince seemed a little disappointed, but after recovering from his shock, he quickly knelt down to congratulate him, "Father, your majesty has been very kind to us..."

"Alright, Prince, stop acting. You must be very disappointed that I didn't die." Emperor Cheng glanced at the Prince and looked at the Prince of Qi, "Second brother, you are so cunning, I didn't even know that you still wanted to be Xiling's consort.

It seems that you are tired of Daxing and want to find another way out. Well, from now on, I will strip you of your title and confiscate your jade butterfly. From now on, you can go wherever you want. "

The Prince of Qi looked ashen, and he collapsed, stumbling to the feet of Emperor Chengde, "Father, please don't do that. I was forced to do this. It was Bai Yimeng, she pretended to be Princess Xiling, and she deceived me."

She...she is a demon. Father, think about it, how many people can survive after taking the Soul Crushing Pill? She is not a human at all, she is a ghost! She is a ghost who comes to take your life. "

Emperor Chengde closed his eyes and waved his hands, signaling for the King of Qi to be dragged down. The King of Qi's cries faded away little by little, and Emperor Mingde waved his hands at the crowd, "Everyone, go down. I want to be alone.

As Yuwen Ji and Bai Yimeng were just walking out of the palace, they saw Yi Tong, who had been blown away, chatting with the palace guards, as if he had known something for a long time.

"Master, I just found out that the man is fake. It was the guard who told me..." Yi Tong told Yuwen Ji what happened after he woke up. He simply said that the explosives were designed by professional pyrotechnicians. It was loud, but not very lethal.

Then again, the guards told him that this was a show, set up by their superiors to raise their vigilance.

"Child, are you..."

Bai Yimeng interrupted Yuwen Ji, "Your Majesty, don't ask yet. Listen to me..."

Before Bai Yimeng could finish, the voice of Eunuch Chen came from behind, "Your Majesty, please stay. Princess, please stay."

Eunuch Chen trotted all the way to the two of them, panting for a long time before he calmed down, "His Majesty has ordered to summon Princess Jing'an to an audience."

Yuwen Ji seemed to understand something, and then he grabbed Bai Yimeng's wrist and said, "I will go with you."

"Your Majesty, it is me who summoned you, not you. Your Majesty, remember, don't be impulsive."

Bai Yimeng turned around and followed Eunuch Chen into the palace gate again. The palace gate was tightly closed the moment Bai Yimeng stepped in.

"Master, what should we do? This situation is probably unusual." Yi Tong was anxious and blurted out without even bothering to look at Yuwen Ji's expression.

Yuwen Ji became even more worried when he was asked this question, but he didn't say anything. Thinking of Bai Yimeng's instructions, he found a clean place and knelt down.

Yi Tong knew that the matter must be complicated and it was useless to ask, so he knelt down behind Yuwen Ji.

After night fell, the stars climbed up the night sky, the bright moon hung high, the palace gate was opened again, and Eunuch Chen walked out, "Your Highness, please go back first. I'm afraid the little princess won't be able to come out for a while."

"How's the kid?"

Eunuch Chen bit his lip, as if he was in some difficulty. "I was taught a lesson and now I am kneeling outside Chen'an Palace."

"Being beaten again? Why? Was it serious?" Yuwen Ji was so anxious that his eyes turned red.

"It seems that the little princess was too reckless and caused His Majesty to worry." Eunuch Chen's face was full of helplessness. "Don't worry, Your Majesty didn't pass on the board. I just heard the slapping sound and the little princess's crying. The princess limped when she came out. I guess she was beaten badly."

Yuwen Ji breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that what Emperor Chengde had given him was a slap in the face. Thinking of this, Yuwen Ji found it inexplicably funny. It seemed that the Emperor, his father, really treated the little girl as his own daughter.

"Alas, I can see that Your Majesty is really angry. I can also see that Your Majesty is really reluctant to use heavy hands. Don't worry, Your Highness. Everything will be fine." After comforting Yuwen Ji, Eunuch Chen turned around and entered the palace gate.

Inside Chen'an Palace, the Queen tried to persuade him several times, "Your Majesty..."

"Don't worry about this, Queen. This girl deserves to be beaten. Queen, you know how terrible Princess Xiling is. She conspired with the priests in the country to kill her father. This girl doesn't know whether to live or die. She followed them. What if something goes wrong?

How can I explain this to the Marquis of Zhenbei? Let alone the Marquis of Zhenbei, our third brother, that straightforward person, if anything happens to her, the third brother will be the first to have his neck cut off. "

The empress heard this and said nothing. She silently helped Emperor Chengde change his clothes. "It's just a child. You need to take care of her slowly. Don't be impatient. She grew up outside. She has suffered so many grievances. It's inevitable that people around her will pamper her more."

Emperor Chengde rubbed his temple, looked towards the door, and asked in a low voice, "My Lord, was the blow very heavy just now?"

"It's not light. Look at how she's crying and out of breath. This palace, it hurts to see her." The Queen frowned and nodded slightly, "Your Majesty, I'm going to say something you don't want to hear. This girl is already seventeen years old. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to punish her with a slap."

"She's seventeen now. Queen, look at her. She doesn't look like a seventeen-year-old. I think she's not even as old as Hui'er. She relies on everyone's favor all day long, and she doesn't know how high the heaven is or how deep the earth is. She's just spoiled."

The Queen saw that Emperor Chengde had calmed down and gently rubbed his head. "Your Majesty is right. It is of course the little girl's fault. Your Majesty, have you ever thought that today, the little girl could have just stood by and watched.

She had already informed you in advance, and it was her duty as a minister or a servant, but she still stood up. Your Majesty, think about it, if the little girl hadn't come, would today have been so smooth?"

Emperor Chengde nodded slightly, "I am also very pleased about this."

The queen smiled but said nothing. She looked towards the door and sighed silently. Emperor Chengde grabbed the queen's hand and patted it, "Okay, I won't punish her. Little Chenzi, ask her to come in."

Bai Yimeng was brought in. Her palm-sized face had already turned into a cat-like mess after crying. Emperor Chengde pulled her sleeve and pulled her to his side. "Do you know why I beat you today?"

Tears welled up in Bai Yimeng's eyes again, and she nodded aggrievedly, "I know."

"tell me the story."

Bai Yimeng wiped her tears and said, "Your Highness, I shouldn't have gone against the King of Qi and embarrassed His Majesty."

"Bai Yimeng, do you think I'm a tyrant? The King of Qi is my son, but I'm the ruler of a country.

Do you understand the principle of first governing the country and then governing the country? I personally feel reluctant to punish the King of Qi, but I have no choice but to do so.

Regardless of whether you have a prejudice against him or not, you have done something beneficial to the country. I am not a tyrant, so why would I make it difficult for you?"
