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

Wen Yan's small body burst out with huge energy at this moment. He shouted and attracted many guards. Even Xiao Que'er and Qing Fei, who loved to join in the fun, ran over.

When these funny guys get together, the man in black can't escape even if he has wings.

The backer arrived. Wen Yan stood under the tree and looked up at the man in black on the tree.

"You might as well just come down and die! Sister Que'er will beat you to death if she's not paying attention!"

Xiao Que rolled his eyes, what a little thing that is just relying on the power of others!

She took a step forward, two daggers clenched in her palms, ready to strike. "I advise you to come down and die obediently, otherwise, once the fight starts, weapons will be blind!"

The man in black sneered, "Do you really think I'm as easy to fool as a three-year-old? I'll die if I go down, and I'll die if I stay up there. At least this tree can protect me for a while. Why would I go down there?"

"Since you don't come down, I'll chop down the tree!" Xiao Que'er said, pulling out the guard's long sword, concentrating and holding his breath, and merging his waist and horse.

"Heh~Hey!" Seeing Wen Yan's shocked expression, Xiao Que'er swung out with a knife.

"Ahhhhhh! Don't cut it down! The prince's magnolia tree!"

Unfortunately, Xiao Que'er's knife was so powerful that the magnolia tree slowly collapsed under Wen Yan's disbelief, shock, fear, disappointment, and tears.

The man in black ran out the moment the tree fell, and Xiao Que'er followed closely, throwing the guard's long sword in his hand as a hidden weapon.

The sound of the long sword cutting through the air exploded in the ears of the man in black. He turned his head to avoid it, and the long sword flew past his cheek, but still cut off the hair flying behind his ear.

It was not known whether it was because the power of the knife was so great that it frightened the man in black, or because the large bundle of flowers on his back was too cumbersome, causing him to trip over his left foot and stagger to the ground, and then he was caught up by Xiao Que'er.

The dagger was pressed against the black-clad man's neck. Xiao Que'er said in a cold voice, "Run? If you run again, I'll tear your head off!"

The man in black laughed dryly twice, "Haha, you are quite domineering."

The guards caught up and methodically rescued a large bundle of peonies from the man in black's back, and then took the man to the dungeon. Only then did the farce come to an end.

It's just a pity for Wen Yan. At this moment, his son is hugging the magnolia tree that was broken in half and crying, as if he had lost a loved one.

This superb star magnolia tree had been growing for more than ten years, but it suffered a devastating disaster on this day.

The tree was older than the text itself. It held so many memories for them, but today, it died!

Little Bird came over, clapped her hands, and finished her work and fame. She comforted Wen Yan's wounded heart: "Don't cry, the tree is dead and can't be revived. It's better to pick the flowers and make wine."

Wen Yan cried even louder: "It's already dead, and you still want to make it into wine? I don't want to talk to you!"

"But you already said it."

Wen Yan turned away and refused to communicate.

Xiao Que'er stopped coaxing him, turned around and asked someone to bring a basket and started picking flowers.

The louder Wen Yan cried, the faster she picked the fruits, and with their persistence, the tree became 20% bald.

"..." Ji Zhonghuan watched from the side for a long time but didn't understand what they were doing.

He shook his sleeves and came to Jinyou's Liuyunzhai with ease.

"Prince, Master Ji is here."

"Please go to the study." Ji Zhonghuan arrived just in time, but Xiao Yunzhen was still asleep and it was unknown when he would wake up.

He had no choice but to carry the kid to the study.

"Master Ji, what's the situation?"

Ji Zhonghuan put down his teacup, stood up and bowed: "Prince, is this the Sixth Prince?"

He Jinyou nodded and patted Xiao Yunzhen twice.

"No problem, Master Ji, please take a seat. I brought you the rubbing of the paper ball. The content on it is related to the sale of positions. Official positions of all sizes are clearly priced. Even in Master Ji's Dali Temple, there are people who buy official positions."

"What? Is there such a thing? Who is this person? I will find him out!" Ji Zhonghuan slammed his palm on the table, and the teacup jumped up due to the shock.

"Master Ji, please be patient."

Ji Zhonghuan calmed down and sat down again. He had always thought that the Dali Temple was an iron wall, but unexpectedly someone had taken advantage of it.

"The law explicitly prohibits the private sale of official positions. Since ascending the throne, the imperial examinations have been changed to two per year in order to select talented individuals. The imperial examinations are the only way to become an official. If they sell official positions privately, wouldn't that be unfair to the students?"

"Master Ji's words make sense, but I believe this matter requires further consideration. I don't know who is behind the sale of official positions, and what role the now-deceased Zhu Yuanwai played. After all, he had some connections with the Second Prince and the Minister of Rites. I wonder if the Second Prince and his men were involved. If, as you suggest, we directly identify those who are buying official positions in various departments, wouldn't that alert the enemy?"

The list we have now is only a partial one; we don't know who has the remaining part. The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet will be held in a few days, and after that the next round of imperial examinations will begin. If this news is leaked at this time..."

Ji Zhonghuan's eyes lit up for a moment, and he clapped his hands: "Use the opponent's strength to counteract it. They are selling official positions and hindering the students' career path. Since ancient times, the most difficult thing to stop is public anger!"

"That's right. As long as we release this news at the right time, Lord Ji can follow the clues and investigate further. And I will also send more people to help Lord Ji."

Ji Zhonghuan stroked his beard and pondered for a moment: "Does the prince mean that he doesn't intend to show up?"

"The power of the Prince Regent's Palace is too great. Lord Ji must understand the principle that a tall tree attracts the wind. After all, this prince is still young. If he were to force his way forward, I'm afraid he'd be treading on thin ice in the future. It's better to be more cautious."

Especially now that He Qianzhao is not in the capital, if something really happens, he may not be able to protect the people in the prefecture by himself.

"Yes, what the Crown Prince said is true. Now that so many eyes are on the Regent's Palace, we should proceed with caution. But if it is really as the Crown Prince thinks, and the Second Prince is involved, what will the Crown Prince do?"

This means "I'm here to test you."

Jin You was not afraid at all and spoke confidently, "If the Second Prince is the mastermind, then we must attack his vital points and take him down in one fell swoop, leaving him no room for counterattack. If he is just participating, then I think it would be best if we do as the Emperor wishes and spare his life."

"Very good, very good. Understanding the emperor's mind is a skill." Ji Zhonghuan nodded repeatedly. "The emperor is old and has few children. The last thing he wants to see is fratricide. Now that something like this has happened in the palace, the fate of the two princes is still unknown. But there is no doubt that His Highness the Sixth Prince has become the biggest beneficiary. If we want to succeed, we need to leverage the power of the palace and cooperate with each other."
