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

Xiao Mingli looked at the figure that was getting farther and farther away from him, clenched his fists, and secretly swore in his heart that sooner or later all this would be his!

He lowered his eyes and swallowed the unwilling but unexpressible feeling along with the wine.

Another half-minute later, Emperor Xuan and Wanqi left the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Emperor Xuan's departure signaled the end of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

After the two of them left, the rest of the people also left in a hurry. Only the Empress, the Imperial Concubine, Jinyou, the four princes, and their two princesses remained in the huge palace.

He Zhiyi stood up first and bowed to the queen, saying she was sorry, and was the first to leave.

"Your Majesty, I am not feeling well, so I will not accompany you." After saying this, she stood up and left without waiting for the Queen's response.

He walked with great vigor and didn't look like he was feeling unwell at all.

"Mother!" The second prince was indignant and stared at He Zhiyi's back viciously, wishing he could burn a hole in her back.

"Forget it... ahem... you guys should go back early."

The queen waved her hand and sent everyone back.

The eldest prince, the second prince and the third prince have already set up residences outside the palace, and according to regulations they should not stay overnight in the palace.

After the Queen finished speaking, the eldest prince Xiao Mingcheng took his leave and returned home, saying that the princess was not feeling well.

The second and third princes exchanged a glance, swallowed their words, and simply bowed, "Mother, I will take my leave."

Seeing that the two were really about to leave, the Fourth Prince became anxious and blurted out, "Second brother, third brother, fifth brother..."

"Fourth Prince!" Xiao Mingli noticed something was wrong and immediately scolded and stopped him. He slowly shook his head at the Fourth Prince.

The fourth brother understood and swallowed the rest of his words.

The queen coughed, left a few words, and asked Kuzhu to support her and go back to the palace.

She said: "The children have finally grown up..."

The three of them looked at the queen's increasingly hunched back and realized that their mother's health was really not good!

The Queen Mother is not only the mother of the three of them, but also the mother of the fifth brother. But what about now?

The fifth brother was angry with the emperor and did not even attend the final palace banquet. He just packed up and left.

There was even nothing to take with me when I left.

Mingxin, demoted to a commoner, could not enjoy the same status as a prince. He could not take away any of the prince's clothing or accessories, or even the inscribed silver ingots bestowed upon him by his father...

It was still the brothers who pooled together some small change to provide the fifth brother with a basis for survival.

Now that I see my mother's declining health, how can I dare to let her experience the pain of separation from her family again?

The three of them didn't dare to say anything and couldn't say anything.

After the Queen's figure disappeared from view completely, Xiao Mingyi frowned and looked at Xiao Mingren's face with some anger.

"Fourth Brother! What do you want to do? Mom is not in good health, do you want to send her away?"

The fourth brother defended himself, "Don't blame me! I didn't think that much!"

"You know best what you're thinking! Xiao Mingren, I'm telling you to put away those little thoughts. If anything happens to Mom, I won't forgive you!"

Xiao Mingren glared at the Second Prince, calling him by his name in a rage, "Xiao Mingyi! I'm not as vile as you think. She's my own mother! I won't harm her!"

The two of them quarreled and got really angry. The second prince punched the fourth prince in the nose, and instantly the fourth prince started bleeding from his nose.

Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly out of control, Xiao Mingli also acted as a peacemaker.

"Alright, both of you, stop arguing! We're brothers, what's there to argue about? No one is allowed to mention Fifth Brother's affairs. If Mother asks, just say he was naughty and Father punished him. If Mother finds out about this, it won't be from us! Got it?"

"Can!"

Xiao Mingren wanted to say something, but the Third Prince stopped him in his tracks.

"Got it! I'd rather keep this to myself than tell Mom!"

After getting the fourth prince's assurance, Xiao Mingli turned and looked at the second prince.

"Second brother?"

Xiao Mingyi waved his hands impatiently: "I know, I know. I hate you bookworms the most! You have a lot of tricks up your sleeve, and everything you say and do is mysterious! You're not likable at all!"

Xiao Mingli didn't care about being scolded by his second brother. He coaxed the two of them, told them a few things, and then let them go back.

Before he left, he looked around the brightly lit hall and felt a chill bursting from the bottom of his heart.

He rubbed his arms, tightened his cloak, and went home.

...

On the other side, He Zhiyi had just walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony when she heard a child calling her in a gloomy voice.

"The royal concubine."

He Zhiyi was startled and turned around to look for someone.

"who is it?"

Jinyou slowly walked out from the dark shadows, looking at He Zhiyi with cold eyes.

He Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief. It was too dark, and she didn't see Jinyou's eyes. "Is it You'er? What are you doing here?"

In front of outsiders, He Zhiyi still wants to play the role of aunt well.

But Jinyou won't.

"Your Highness, may I have a moment with you?"

Although He Zhiyi was puzzled, she let go of Jiyun's hand and walked towards Jinyou, asking as she walked, "What's wrong, You'er? Why are you so mysterious?"

She raised her hand to pull Jinyou along, but Jinyou dodged and just said, "Come with me."

He Zhiyi also noticed something strange at this moment, her heart skipped a beat, she suddenly stopped talking, and followed Jinyou obediently.

Bai Mo followed behind the two of them, separating He Zhiyi's procession, and a vacuum zone appeared behind them.

Jinyou walked faster and faster, and the place became more and more remote. Seeing that the number of guards and palace servants gradually decreased, and even disappeared, He Zhiyi became panicked.

"You... You'er... where are you taking me?"

But she didn't hear Jinyou's response for a long time, and she became even more panicked.

"You'er..."

"crunch..."

The door creaked open as someone pushed it open from the outside. The room, which hadn't been cleaned for years, was met with a cloud of flying dust, which made the two of them cough.

Jinyou swept it with his sleeve, then waited for a moment, covering his mouth and nose and entering the room first.

He Zhiyi hesitated at the door for a moment, then gritted her teeth and followed him into the room.

After the two of them went in, Bai Mo closed the door tightly, blocking out all sounds.

In the room, the two men faced each other, and Jinyou spoke first with an unquestionable question.

"Where did you send Xiao Yunzhen?"

He Zhiyi's heart suddenly sank, and her heart stopped for a moment. She thought that this matter could not be hidden from He Jinyou, but she never imagined that it would be discovered so early.

She had no way to argue and could only admit: "I don't know, I just asked the nanny to take Zhen'er out of the palace to avoid the limelight..."

"Keep out of the spotlight?" Jinyou asked sarcastically, "You want him to die outside the palace, don't you?"

"I don't!"

Jin You snorted coldly, "No? You know whether he is or not. Since you found that he was different from others, why didn't you discuss it with me immediately? How would you know if you were the only one who could hear his inner voice or if many people could hear it?

Why did you insist on sending a baby like him out of the palace? Do you know who that wet nurse is? Why did you trust her so much? What would you do if something happened to Xiao Yunzhen?

"What? You... could hear it too? But, but I... I was just panicking, I didn't think too much... I was just scared... What if, what if Zhen'er's inner voice could be heard by the emperor and the others, then none of us would survive..."

"So? You are going to give up on him?" Jinyou's questions were sharp, poking He Zhiyi's heart again and again.

He Zhiyi had put Xiao Yunzhen in danger more than once before. Her love for Xiao Yunzhen was neither deep nor shallow, but she didn't seem to care about him that much either.

Instead of taking care of the child who was over one month old personally, he sent him to the prince, which almost cost him his life.

Now that she could suddenly hear Xiao Yunzhen's inner voice, she also treated him as a monster, which gave her the opportunity to send him away and let him die through the wet nurse!

Jinyou was furious and spoke without restraint, each sentence he said was merciless:

"You think that since you are still young, you can give birth to another child for the old emperor. When the old emperor dies, your son will take the throne with the help of his father, and you will be the empress dowager who rules the country from behind the scenes, right?

You have made the same arrangement for Xiao Yunzhen, right? But have you ever thought that even if the old emperor passes away, he is not the only son you have. Without your father's help, it would be a foolish dream for your son to become emperor!
