"Witchcraft should be banned! But as a prisoner, you should be aware of your status as a prisoner. Since you know about the armored men, I wonder if you can figure out the origins of these armored men?"

"Why should I help an unpleasant little brat like you?"

Jin You smiled and said, "How about I exchange it for a peony? The peonies in the yard aren't bright enough. I know of a peony known as the king of peonies, and I've done some research on it. I think we'll see it bloom next year. How about I give it to you then?"

Ge Pumu's eyes lit up for a moment, then dimmed again. He muttered, "Wait until next year. Who knows if you're lying to me?"

"This prince keeps his word. If you are worried, you can stay in the Regent's Palace and wait."

"Really?" At this moment, the description of shining eyes became concrete.

Ge Pu Mu's eyes lit up as he stared at Jin You enthusiastically and nodded frantically.

"Great, great, great!" Now he not only has peonies, but also a place to live! Haha, he's finally made it! He's also got the support of the Regent!

Jinyou curled his lips secretly. The boy looked older than him, but he was really simple-minded. After being sold, he still had to count money for others. Even after counting the money, he still said, "If this money is not enough, I will give you some more."

If he could recruit this person, he might become another helper besides Aque!

Jinyou gave Yingsi a wink, and Yingsi understood instantly.

Ying Si waved his hand to send the guards away, leaving only three or two shadow guards guarding Jin You.

The dungeon was filled with the smell of blood, and Jinyou's already dizzy head became even more dizzy. He pinched his eyebrows and said with a hint of fatigue, "Let's deal with the dungeon and send him and the Iron Armored Man to Qingfei Courtyard."

"Yes."

Jinyou didn't like the environment of the dungeon. After thinking about it and realizing that there was nothing else to explain, he turned around and walked out.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around and smiled at Ge Pu Mu. Ge Pu Mu shuddered and rubbed his arms as if someone was staring at him.

"Destroy his martial arts." Jinyou said this and left without looking back.

People can be kept and used by him but they must not be a threat. People who are uncontrollable may as well die from the beginning like everyone else in the dungeon.

The full moon lazily hid in the clouds. Jinyou gathered his cloak. The weather was getting colder in late autumn, but no one felt cold in the end.

He sighed lightly, trying to sort out his messy thoughts, and finally went back to his room to rest.

But I couldn't fall asleep because I tossed and turned in bed.

All kinds of things are tangled up like a mess, and there is no clue to unravel the thoughts, making it difficult to start.

"Hey..."

After sighing countless times, Wen Yan finally couldn't help but speak.

"Is there something troubling the prince?"

Jinyou opened his eyes and looked at the carvings on the ceiling of the bed, tracing the patterns of the carvings bit by bit in his mind.

He sighed again, not knowing how to open his mouth.

When He Qianzhao was alive, he was the crown prince and did not need to manage any affairs in the mansion, nor did he personally participate in them.

But as soon as He Qianzhao left, all the big and small events in the palace and the capital seemed to come flooding in at once, catching him off guard.

Jinyou is not mentally prepared to be the master yet, but he is forced to take over and accept all of this. Isn't this a challenge that is the beginning of hell for him?

But I couldn't tell Wen Yan about these things, I could only keep them in my heart and endure them silently.

He said, "I was just thinking about what to do at the palace banquet tomorrow."

The official trafficking case had already given him a splitting headache, and now there was another missing Princess Wanqi.

I guess I won’t be able to have peace these days.

Wen Yan didn't know what Princess Wanqi and the Crown Prince were worried about, so he consoled her, "Tomorrow will be the Crown Prince's first time attending a palace banquet alone under the name of the Prince's Palace, so it's natural that he'll be nervous. But don't worry too much, Your Majesty. The Imperial Concubine will definitely help you."

After all, the imperial concubine in the palace is Jinyou's aunt in name only. She will never watch Jinyou being bullied. Of course, with He Qianzhao's power, no one would bully He Jinyou without knowing the consequences.

But there was no news from the person in the palace, and no one knew whether he had taken any action against the queen.

Jinyou shook his head and stopped thinking about it. His brain would explode if he continued thinking about it.

He sighed again, "Forget it, it's time to go to bed. You should go to bed early too."

Unfortunately, less than two hours after he fell asleep, Wen Yan suddenly woke Jin You up by whispering in his ear.

"Prince, wake up. The Shadow Guard is outside the courtyard right now and has something important to discuss with you."

Jinyou's mind was still not clear, and he didn't react. He just said, "Pass it in."

"Your Highness!" The shadow guard half-knelt and saluted, not waiting for Jinyou to call out. He continued, "Your Highness, we have spotted several people who appear to be from Yanzhi at the East City Gate. They are guarding a carriage. I can't tell if the people in the carriage match the portraits Your Highness gave me, but I can confirm that they are definitely not locals!"

Jinyou's dysfunctional brain gradually regained its sanity after hearing the shadow guard's words.

"No matter if it's the person we're looking for or not, we have to send someone to follow him. It's better to find the wrong person than to let the wrong person go."

"It's the prince. Someone has already followed him. They haven't settled down yet."

No stay...

"Which direction are they going?"

"The West, if I'm not mistaken, they should be heading to the Imperial Palace!"

The palace!

Jin You was instantly startled. These people were the ones he was looking for! How to stop them from entering the palace was also a problem. If he let them in, wouldn't it give him more opportunities to meet Emperor Xuan?

No, this can't be the case. There must be a way to stop her!

Suddenly Jinyou had an idea and took off the jade pendant and handed it to the shadow guard.

"Go and give this jade pendant to the person in the carriage and invite her to meet at Jufulou."

"Yes! I'll go right away!"

After the shadow guard left, Jinyou stared blankly at the sky which was not yet completely bright.

There was no other way to prevent Princess Wanqi from entering the palace without anyone noticing, so the only option was to turn the enemy into a friend and discuss a small cooperation.

I don't think she would refuse the jade pendant from the Regent's Palace.

This woman is scheming and smart, and will only choose things that are beneficial to her.

Jinyou believed that Princess Wanqi would definitely not refuse!

Sure enough, within two quarters of an hour, the shadow guard returned with the news, saying, "Sir, that man has agreed. Please come and have a talk with him."

"Okay, got it." But Jinyou didn't rush over immediately. He always wanted to leave some suspense.

The Regent and the Prince Regent are different. She only agreed so readily because of the Regent's title. If he had gone earlier, I'm afraid the cooperation would not be possible.

"Wenyan prepares the car,"

"Yes!"

"Call Aque..." Jinyou paused and changed his words: "Call Xiaoqueer, let's go over." Compared to Xiaoqueer, Jinyou wanted to take Aque with him.

But ever since Ah Que took over Fuying Garden, he has not been in the house and cannot be found even if one wants to.

Among the other candidates, although Xiao Que'er is naughty, he has the best martial arts skills and can even defeat A Que if he uses all his strength.

There are not many capable people, so after much deliberation, I can only choose Xiao Que'er.

"Okay~" Wen Yan's little face was full of joy. The prince had not taken him out of the house for a long time. Now that he could finally go out with the prince, he was happy from the bottom of his heart.
