The Crybaby Prince is Reborn, Where is the Prince Going?

Chapter 14: Even if you are injured, you must kneel

When the emperor arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, only the empress was there, and since there was no one else around, he had no reservations about what he said.

He directly questioned the Queen: "What's going on?"

The Empress was furious, and upon hearing Emperor Xuan's questioning tone, she felt even more aggrieved. "I lured He Zhiyi over as planned, but she was very wary and left halfway through. No matter how much I tried to persuade her, she wouldn't go. However, Concubine Xi went to the appointment as scheduled."

Emperor Xuan snorted coldly, "Hmph, Lin Yue is quite useful. It's worth wasting so much time. It's a pity that he's now in He Qianzhao's hands. If I hadn't asked you to hold He Qianzhao back, how could he have gotten there?"

When the Queen said this, she burst into tears and complained to the Emperor: "Dancing girls all have fragrance on their bodies, but he is unmoved. He kills them as soon as they get close to him. How can I stop him? Do you want me to die in front of him?"

The two of them are already a young couple, and when they are anxious, they forget about hierarchy.

"Sister Gui, that's not what I meant. He Qianzhao's power is too great. If we don't get rid of him, our son won't be able to take this position. Now that a child with the He family's bloodline has been born, we can't help but be on guard against him..."

What if He Qianzhao rebelled and supported Xiao Yunzhen, and took control of the real power himself? Then what would it have to do with him if the country simply changed its surname to He?

"There's no rush for this matter. I'll have to find another opportunity. But, Guimei, I will never let you down!"

The two of them "plotted" for a long time before dispersing.

……

On this side, Xiao Yunzhen was carried back by the dazed wet nurse before the guards found Chunfu Palace.

[Next time you see Jinyou, remember to come find me! Otherwise, you'll become a eunuch and end up repeating the same old mistakes!]

He Jinyou froze. What? A eunuch? Why did he become a eunuch? This world had finally gone mad.

He really wanted to tell the kid straight up, "I can hear what's in your heart, tell me everything!"

But it’s not enough. If the kid gets stimulated and controls himself and stops thinking about these miscellaneous things, it will be bad.

Another concern is, is he the only one who can hear the little guy's inner voice, or can everyone hear it?

But there was no way to verify this. The kid couldn't talk. If he rushed up to everyone and asked, "Can you hear what the kid is thinking?", then before the kid was burned to death as a monster, he would be caught and burned to death.

This matter is too strange, so strange that no one can talk about it or ask about it.

"I'm sick!"

"Ah? Prince, what's wrong with you?"

Aque pinched her earlobe, wondering why the prince, who was fine just now, suddenly went crazy. The prince used to be calm and composed and would never get angry or irritable for no reason.

At this moment, the prince doesn't look like a prince, but more like an old woman...

Well, He Jinyou didn’t know that Aque was secretly teasing him in his heart.

He coughed and suppressed all the thoughts in his mind, "It's nothing, let's go home." He still had to go to the ancestral hall to kneel as punishment.

The two of them successfully left the palace using the sign of the Prince Regent's Palace. They saw a carriage with the Prince Regent's Palace parked at the palace gate, but the person guarding it was Bai Mo.

Jinyou rushed in and found that there was no one in the carriage.

"Go home."

The carriage didn't sway, and Jinyou drank the warm tea on the table. It was supposed to be the little prince's full moon banquet, but no one attending the palace banquet could really eat enough.

At least He Jinyou didn't eat enough.

From the beginning of the banquet to leaving the palace, he stared at the queen with a tense look from beginning to end.

But who would have thought that it would end like this.

He also wondered where his father had taken the traitor Xiao Yunzhen had mentioned. If he was in the dungeon of the Prince Regent's Palace, he would also like to go and see it.

We have to figure out the whole story, right?

Thinking of this, I felt a little troubled.

The carriage swayed slightly, and the octagonal copper bell hanging on the carriage also swayed gently, making a crisp sound, which became a lullaby for He Jinyou.

Unfortunately, before he fell asleep, he heard the taciturn Bai Mo say, "Prince, you're back."

He Jinyou sat up straight. He's back already?

"Is Daddy home?"

"The prince is in the palace."

Just as He Jinyou jumped off the carriage, he heard Bai Momomo silently add: "The prince said that when the prince returns, he will be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for two hours."

Jinyou's body tilted and he almost fell down. Ah Que picked him up and said, "Prince, be careful. Even if you sprain your ankle, you will be punished by kneeling."

Everyone in the mansion knew He Qianzhao's character. When Jinyou was three or four years old, he was punished to kneel. They couldn't bear to watch it and pleaded for Jinyou, but the result was predictable.

There was a group of people outside the ancestral hall.

Even in the middle of summer, with the sun blazing overhead, only Jinyou had the privilege to kneel inside the ancestral hall, while those who begged for mercy could only kneel under the sun.

Later, there were too many people pleading for mercy, and without He Qianzhao's consent, they would kneel outside the ancestral hall on their own accord whenever Jinyou was punished to do so.

"I know. I don't want to kneel. I know Daddy's character quite well."

Jinyou took a few steps with the help of Aque, and when he felt that his legs and feet were fine, he let go of her wrist.

The two walked towards the ancestral hall. Bai Mo handed the carriage to the coachman and left.

Seeing that there was no one around, Jinyou whispered to Aque, "Where is your sister?"

Ah Que was silent for a moment, then rolled his eyes: "Prince, you don't seem to be very smart."

"..."

"My sister might have gone out. I'm not sure. But you know she hates the emperor. She doesn't want to enter the palace, so it's my turn today."

"Okay, got it. If you're tired, go take a rest. I'll ask Qing Fei to check if you've inhaled any drugs or anything."

"Thank you, Prince~" 'Aque' ran away with a laugh, and jumped onto the roof. She didn't jump off the roof until she heard another female voice yelling "Get down!", then she pushed the door open and entered a room quietly.

Oh, it turns out Aque is in the mansion.

Jinyou shook his head and walked straight towards the ancestral hall.

He didn't know much about Aque and the other girl. He only knew that they were twin sisters and hated Emperor Xuan equally. Especially Aque, she wanted to eat Emperor Xuan alive when she saw him.

But Aque's sister did not have such strong hatred. Every time Aque did not want to enter the palace, she would take his place.

She didn't have her own title. She said she was willing to be her sister's shadow, so the two of them shared the same name, but Jinyou preferred to call her Xiao Que'er.

Xiao Que'er is easy to recognize. Compared to A Que who likes to wear black clothes and looks like a secret guard in the palace, sharp and solemn, Xiao Que'er, who does not have his own name, wears red clothes and looks warm and energetic, which is out of place in this gloomy Regent's Palace.

Jinyou's thoughts paused and his steps stopped in front of the ancestral hall.

He looked up at the plaque, and once again marveled at the powerful yet gentlemanly handwriting on it, which was written by He Qianzhao.

He thought of Lin Yue's incomplete words: A gentleman... is neither male nor female...

Alas, in this era, everyone is suffering, no one is immune, even Emperor Xuan who is at the center of power.

Jinyou stood outside the ancestral hall for a while, bowed slightly and saluted: "Grandfather, You'er is here to accompany you again!"

After saying that, he stepped into the ancestral hall, knelt on the cushion, and kowtowed three times respectfully.

"Grandfather, You'er said he would not make mistakes again, but he is very stupid and always gets punished by daddy to kneel."

"I thought the next time I saw my grandfather, he would be walking in carrying some fruits, but I didn't expect that just a few days later, I would be punished to kneel again."

Jinyou muttered to himself, even though there was only one tablet in the entire ancestral hall.

Jinyou sometimes wondered if it was because his grandfather was too lonely in this huge ancestral hall that his father often made him kneel in the hall as punishment to keep his grandfather company.

If He Qianzhao knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say, "That's a good guess. Don't guess again next time."

"Grandfather, I accidentally learned something a month ago, and I still don't know who to tell. So You'er is very confused. Is a person's fate really predetermined? Is it really impossible to change it easily?"

"Dad dug me out of the snow for a great cause and gave me a life... But why? Dad doesn't believe me. I know he doesn't believe me."

"But even if Daddy wants me to be a pawn in his hands, how can You'er blame him..."

Slowly, Jinyou began to sob and cry.
