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

Sure enough, early the next morning, the invitation from the palace was handed to Jinyou.

The invitation stated that the Regent and Crown Prince Jinyou were coming to attend the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.

But this is quite difficult to do. After all, the real owner is not at home, and Jinyou, a prince, cannot take over the job and attend the palace banquet in the name of regent.

So Jinyou wrote a secret letter and had the shadow guards rush to deliver it to He Qianzhao, asking him whether he could attend the palace banquet, and if not, whether he could attend the banquet alone.

According to He Qianzhao's idea, he always does what he wants to do, but he does not advocate that Jinyou have more contact with people in the palace.

In Jinyou's view, He Qianzhao is a contradictory and dictatorial person.

While clearly wanting him to become a minister who assists the country, he doesn't want him to be exposed to too much of the dark affairs in the palace or the court.

But if you don’t know, how can you become a minister who assists the country? How can there be results without causes?

After Jinyou finished writing the secret letter, he blew it dry and stuffed it into the envelope, watching the shadow guard take it away, but he had already made up his mind at this time.

When his father is not around, he is the master of the Regent's Palace and the face of the palace. If he doesn't go, he will be looked down upon!

A few days before the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, nothing major happened in the capital until the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, when He Qianzhao sent back a secret letter, telling him that he could go.

On the same evening, just as Jinyou finished his dinner, Xiaoqueer came back with a shocking news.

Zhao Zhener committed suicide!

"What? She committed suicide?"

Xiao Que'er gulped down a large glass of water, took a deep breath, and then began to explain, "You asked me to check if there was anyone unusual on the list. Coincidentally, the person I was looking for was actually acquaintance of Zhao Zhen'er. They met at a restaurant. I didn't dare approach too closely, so I didn't hear their conversation clearly. They separated, and Zhao Zhen'er committed suicide after returning home. Her body is still hanging at the door of the Zhu Mansion!"

After finishing this long speech, Xiao Queer poured himself a glass of water and drank it in one gulp.

"Prince, there's something wrong with Zhao Zhen'er. I suspect she knows the whereabouts of the other half of the list. Lord Ji has already rushed over, and I went to take a look. Zhao Zhen'er seems to be pregnant."

Jinyou knew that Zhao Zhener was pregnant, but he still didn't quite understand why she chose to commit suicide at this time.

Jinyou knocked on the table. "As far as I know, Mr. Zhu has no children. If a child is born now and can inherit Mr. Zhu's property, he wouldn't hang himself. If something is wrong, prepare a car and go to the Zhu Mansion to take a look."

Jinyou has his own plans. Zhu Yuanwai's death is confusing. If it can become the tip of the iceberg of the official trafficking case, it will not be in vain that Ji Zhonghuan has led people to investigate for so long.

When I came to Zhu Mansion again, the scene was completely different from last time.

Ji Zhonghuan's men had not arrived yet. Only Han Liting, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, was there with the coroner and the Jinyiwei.

What surprised Jinyou was that Mrs. Zhu was actually crying.

Didn't she dislike Zhao Zhen'er's behavior? Now that the person was dead, if she didn't set off a few fireworks to celebrate, it would be a shame to her for making things difficult for her.

"The Prince Regent has arrived!"

"Prince!" Han Liting bowed and saluted, "I wonder what brings you here, Prince?"

"Master Han, you're asking knowingly. What could this prince do at the crime scene? The Dali Temple has been investigating Mr. Zhu's death for so long without any clues. My people have discovered that Zhao Zhen'er is connected to a case, but before they could investigate further, she died. This prince had no choice but to come and investigate in person.

Never mind. From now on, Zhao Zhener’s case will be investigated by the people from the Prince Regent’s Palace. Lord Han…” Jinyou’s eyes swept over the people from the Dali Temple one by one, and finally stopped at the face of a young man, who was an acquaintance.

He said, "If Lord Han is worried about this prince, then arrange for a few Jinyiwei to follow him."

Jinyou pointed at the young man and said, "He suits my taste, so let's take him."

"Ah...this...prince...he..."

"What?" Jinyou glanced at him, his tone becoming unfriendly: "I just asked him to accompany me, not to take him away. What are you worried about?"

Han Liting wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and explained in a low voice: "Sir, he is the adopted son of Master Ji, Ji Shuxiao. How about you change someone..."

Before Jinyou could say anything, Ji Shuxiao spoke in a clear voice: "Master Han! I am willing to investigate the case with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

But Han Liting still looked embarrassed.

Jin You flicked his sleeves, his face showing impatience. "Hmph, he's already agreed. What's your objection, Lord Han? Could it be that you look down on me and are planning to disobey me?"

Lord Han was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and apologized, "I dare not."

Jinyou walked past him, went to Ji Shuxiao and pulled him up.

"Just follow me." The implication was that there was no need for people from the Dali Temple to intervene, just watch, as they only played a supervisory role which was useless anyway.

"Yes, I understand."

So the season mascot Shuxiao comes online.

Lord Han was trembling at the door, and Jinyou was startled when he turned around.

"Master Han, I don't have a coroner, so I'd like to borrow Chen Xuanyi, the coroner from the Dali Temple."

Chen Xuan had been standing in the corner like a transparent person. When he heard that there was something going on involving him, he immediately ran to Jin You and started flattering him.

"Your Highness is truly a man of caliber, possessing such foresight to see my humble abilities!"

Xiao Que'er came over with a smile and punched Chen Xuan in the chest, making him cough.

"Stop talking nonsense! Are you praising the prince? You're praising yourself! Get to work!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away." Chen Xuan covered his chest and coughed as he walked to Zhao Zhener's body and began to check.

"Aque, stop making trouble." Jin You scolded her neither lightly nor harshly, then came to the corpse, squatted not far away, and watched Chen Xuan operate.

With the experience from last time, Jinyou didn't vomit again.

After all, people who died of suffocation do not need to be autopsied, and there is no stench that is difficult to cover up, so naturally people will not feel nauseous.

It's not like he hasn't seen corpses before, so he doesn't feel disgusted by them.

Zhao Zhener's body was purple in color, her neck was broken, and a piece of her tongue was sticking out. It was a typical case of death by suffocation.

There were no signs of beating on the body, no wounds, and no blood in the mouth or nose. It was not homicide or poisoning. The preliminary judgment was suicide by hanging or suffocation.

Chen Xuan said: "The Second Madam did commit suicide. There are no signs of homicide and no toxins in her body."

Jinyou nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

He stood up and walked straight towards Mrs. Zhu who was under guard.

Mrs. Zhu was still sobbing, with tear marks on her face. One could tell at a glance that she was indeed sad.

"Hello again, Mrs. Zhu."

Mrs. Zhu wiped her tears, and the handkerchief was already mostly wet with tears.

"This humble woman greets the prince."

"Forget it, Madam Zhu, don't you intend to tell the truth?"

Mrs. Zhu was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Jinyou. Seeing that he looked confident but also a little flustered.

She laughed dryly twice: "What is the prince talking about? How come I don't understand?"

Jin You smiled helplessly and pinched his fingers, "Since Madam Zhu is still so ungrateful, this prince will have no choice but to let Madam Zhu taste the torture instruments of the Regent Palace."

Han Liting was completely taken aback by Jinyou's actions. His mind was full of "What, what, what? Why are they taking me away for torture?"

Han Liting was not the only one who was stunned. Most people, including Mrs. Zhu, did not understand why Jinyou did this, and Jinyou was too lazy to explain.

He only ordered: "Take it away."

So the guards of the Regent's Palace lifted Zhao Zhen'er's body, took Madam Zhu, turned around and left without any reluctance.

...

Mini-theater: He turned and left, as if he had made some kind of decision.

Mr. Han: No? Buddy? You...
