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

Chapter 6: The Thief Crying "Catch Thief"

After staying in Rende Palace for a long time, Jinyou and Chen Fei finally finished the drama between aunt and nephew.

After giving birth, Concubine Chen was in much worse health and felt sleepy after just a short conversation. Jinyou also took the opportunity to leave Rende Palace.

Although he was unable to read Xiao Yunzhen's thoughts this time, he was convinced of one thing: Xiao Yunzhen really knew everything.

When Jinyou came out, he no longer needed the sedan chair from the Concubine Chen's palace. He was thinking all the way, and Aque followed him all the way.

Suddenly Aque became alert and put his hands on the two scimitars at his waist.

"Prince, be careful."

Jinyou stood still, and Aque drew out his scimitar and cut off the flying arrow.

Jinyou looked closely and saw a man in black standing on the roof in the distance, looking at them coldly.

"Who is coming?" Jinyou shouted loudly.

The man in black did not answer, but flashed and pounced towards Jinyou.

Two scimitars were unsheathed, Aque dodged to block, and started a fierce battle with the man in black.

Jinyou stepped aside to watch the fight. He had absolute confidence in Ah Que's martial arts. After all, it was Ah Que who taught him martial arts when He Qianzhao was too busy to teach him martial arts.

Aque was enough to deal with the man in black by himself, and if he rushed forward he would only act as a stumbling block.

Soon, bloodstains appeared on the black-clothed man's body. He gradually felt exhausted and began to be unable to withstand Aque's fierce attack.

At this moment, He Jinyou's heart trembled, and he felt a chill running through his heart.

He suddenly looked up and met a pair of eyes that seemed to be filled with poison.

Before his brain could react, he used lightness skills to retreat.

The man in black swooped down from the tree and stabbed Jinyou in the neck with a dagger in his hand.

Jinyou narrowly avoided a fatal injury, but his neck was still cut by the dagger.

If he still can't figure out what's going on now, then he's lived in vain.

The fighting was so intense that it didn't attract a single guard. Even if it wasn't Emperor Xuan's doing, there were signs of his involvement.

Aque cut off the black-clad man's neck with a knife, turned around and rushed towards the black-clad man who attacked He Jinyou.

Jinyou took the opportunity to escape and ran to the side, panting.

He raised his hand and touched his cut neck, blood flowing out.

Just when Aque was about to kill the second man in black, the Royal Guards arrived late.

The leader of the imperial guards shouted, "Who is engaging in a private fight in the palace?"

A private fight? Jinyou was so angry that he laughed. These people really had no brains, right? They were so eager to see him die in the palace?

Do you think that his death can intimidate He Qianzhao?

Oh, what an idiot who doesn't know his own limitations!

Hearing the voice of the leader of the imperial guards, Ah Que's movements became even faster. She used her double swords to create afterimages, and directly wiped the neck of the man in black before the leader of the imperial guards rushed up.

"You! Who are you to dare to kill someone in the palace?"

Jinyou didn't answer, but directly ordered Aque: "Take off the mask."

The mask of the man in black was pulled off, revealing a fairly familiar face.

It was the guard who entered the palace to report Emperor Xuan from outside the palace.

As the sky gradually darkened, the last ray of sunset set, and the red clouds in the sky were gradually replaced by darkness.

In the darkness, Jinyou couldn't see the expressions on everyone's faces, and he didn't even know whether they were really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.

His voice was cold. "Commander Qian, what's your intention? This prince went to the palace to visit my aunt, but was assassinated by a thief. And you are so late, and you want to let the thief escape. I wonder what your intention is, Commander Qian?"

Qian Kun laughed awkwardly, "I don't know what the prince means. What I saw was your guards murdering people..."

"Forget it, let's go see the emperor." He Jinyou was too lazy to waste any more words. This game was not very sophisticated, but the only person who could mobilize the imperial guards was the emperor.

He couldn't figure out what Emperor Xuan meant, whether he wanted to get rid of him or test his father.

The sound of swords being unsheathed was particularly harsh in the dark night. Aque stayed beside Jinyou to prevent them from suddenly attacking.

But both of them guessed wrong.

"No, he wants to disfigure him!" By the time Jinyou reacted, the dead guard's original face could no longer be seen.

This blatant conspiracy caught everyone off guard.

Jinyou gritted his teeth. The plan was not brilliant but effective.

Now no matter who is behind this, nothing can be traced back to the person behind it. As long as they insist that he is an assassin, they will be picked up high and put down lightly.

"Hey, what are you all doing here?"

The sudden appearance of the voice immediately aroused the nerves of both groups of people.

It was Qian Kun who reacted first and saluted, "Third Prince."

Jinyou bent down slightly and shouted as well.

"What happened?" A gust of wind blew over, bringing the smell of blood in the air straight into my nose.

The Third Prince, Xiao Mingli, covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves and fanned himself: "Why is there such a strong smell of blood? Could there be an assassin trying to kill my father?"

"Your Highness the Third..."

"Your Highness the Third Prince is right." Jinyou spoke before Qian Kun could.

"The assassin was so bold as to enter the palace and attempt to kill the Emperor. Fortunately, he was discovered and killed on the spot by my guards. Otherwise, it would have been terrible if the assassin had harmed the Emperor and His Majesty."

"Oh? The Crown Prince is actually in the palace. What a rare visitor." The Third Prince was surprised for a moment. "But it was also thanks to the Crown Prince's intervention that an assassination attempt was avoided."

Everyone knew the truth, and He Jinyou was now 100% sure that the assassination was orchestrated by the emperor. As for why the third prince showed up, only he knew.

The thief crying "stop thief" trick works really well.

"Your Highness, I met Lord Ji, the Minister of Justice, before entering the palace. I think Lord Ji hasn't left yet. This matter is perfect for him to handle. What do you think, Your Highness?"

A trace of discomfort flashed across the Third Prince's face, and he smiled and said, "The assassin who attempted the assassination in the palace should be handed over to the Ministry of Justice."

The Minister of Punishments was promoted after Emperor Xuan ascended the throne. He belonged to the royalist faction, but it is hard to say which faction he belongs to now.

"I don't trust him." Jinyou said sarcastically, "Master Ji Zhonghuan is the only one in the court who is upright and honest. If I don't hand it over to him now, then I can only hand it over to my father."

The fake smile on the third prince's face instantly broke, and one by one, he threatened He Qianzhao.

But there was no way around it, no one was not afraid of He Qianzhao. If He Qianzhao found out anything, they would be dead or at least skinned alive.

"Okay, then I'll go talk to my father and hand this matter over to Lord Ji."

The group hurried to the Qianqing Palace with the two bodies.

Qingxi was guarding outside the door. When he saw the third prince, the regent prince and the imperial guards coming together, his heart began to beat fast and he had a bad feeling.

"Your Highness, the Third Prince, the Crown Prince, Commander Qian. The Emperor is currently discussing important matters with Lord Ji, so I'm afraid he won't be seeing anyone at this moment."

"Qingxi, the prince said that he killed two assassins in the palace and was injured. He wants to ask the emperor for mercy and let Lord Ji investigate the matter thoroughly."

"This..." Qingxi was unsure for a moment, "I will go and inform you."

This matter is of great importance, and we can only ask the Emperor to make the decision.

How could there be an assassin in the palace, and an assassin who could do it without alerting the Imperial Guards?

Qingxi was a smart man and figured out the key in an instant.

This is not an assassination of the emperor, it is clearly aimed at He Jinyou.

And the person in the Qianqing Palace at this time is the most suspicious!
