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

Chapter 91 His Highness has passed away... (Minor revision)

The appearance of the black bear did not cause serious impact on everyone, but Qian Kun, who killed the black bear, felt unhappy, as if he had eaten a fly.

But he couldn't say anything and had to swallow his anger.

Jinyou did not mock Qian Kun anymore. He continued to move in the direction he was going. The place where the bodies were thrown on the cliff of Dongshan Mountain was not far away. He would arrive there in about a quarter of an hour.

Jinyou felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart, but he wondered if Qian Kun would like this great gift he prepared for Emperor Xuan.

As they got closer to the Dongshan cliff, the small troops Qian Kun sent out to search the mountain came back with reports one after another.

"Commander Qian, we've searched this place, nothing!"

"Not here either!"

The repeated "no" made Qian Kun more and more anxious, and a chill suddenly rose in his heart. He only hoped that the whereabouts of the Sixth Prince were unknown, and his life or death was unpredictable, but it was better than being dead!

He prayed that it would not go in the direction he expected!

But once he started to have expectations, things started to go against him.

As expected, only two people from the team that explored the Dongshan Cliff came back to report.

He opened his mouth and said, "Commander Qian, two bodies were found under the cliff!"

Qian Kun's heart was suddenly gripped by someone, and he asked hurriedly, "Who is it? Is it that person?"

"I'm not sure, please go ahead!"

Qian Kun's face turned extremely ugly, and he prayed in his heart that it must not be the Sixth Prince. However, when he came to the edge of the cliff and saw the two bodies, his heart sank to the bottom.

The two bodies had been moved out from the bottom of the cliff by the Jinwu Guards and were now neatly placed in front of everyone.

The two corpses, one big and one small, could be seen that the smaller one was only the size of a baby. However, the corpses had signs of being eaten by wild beasts and were completely unrecognizable. It was impossible to tell who they were.

At this time, Qian Kun still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. As long as there was no substantial evidence to prove that the two people were the nanny and the Sixth Prince, he could still maintain a glimmer of hope.

"These two bodies are completely disfigured. How can we identify them? Can you guarantee that these two weren't ordinary women who went up the mountain to collect herbs and fell off a cliff and died?"

At this time, one of the Jinwu Guards stepped forward and said with a bow, "Reporting to the Commander, although the clothes on these two people are torn, we can still identify that the cloth worn by this female corpse must be rich or noble. This is not the ordinary woman that Commander Qian mentioned. Moreover..."

At this time, another Jinwu Guard handed over a broken jade pendant and said, "Besides, we found this nearby."

Qian Kun took a closer look and recognized it as the jade pendant that the Sixth Prince always carried with him. He felt his vision go dark, and his hands tightly grasped the jade pendant, as if he had lost all his strength.

What should he do? The Emperor had told him to bring the Sixth Prince back to the palace unharmed, and that would have been a way to atone for his crime. But now the Sixth Prince was dead, and his body was mutilated... How could he explain this to the Emperor? It would be better if he were buried here with the Sixth Prince!

But Qian Kun still didn't believe it. "Are you sure this is the Sixth Prince? What if the jade pendant was stolen?"

The deputy general of the Jinwu Guard was speechless. Not to mention that the jade pendant was obviously real, who could steal the jade pendant without taking the child?

He shattered Qian Kun's last shred of fantasy: "Commander Qian, this woman is indeed a maid from the palace, so this baby's body..."

He didn't say anything more, but everyone understood what he meant.

This is the body of the Sixth Prince.

Qian Kun stood upright, his body stiff as if struck by lightning. He gritted his teeth and ordered, "Now that we have found the Sixth Prince, return to the palace and report to the Emperor immediately!"

A group of people were carrying two unrecognizable bodies back to Beijing.

Jin You suddenly thought of something. He paused for a moment and turned to look at Song Muran: "Sir Song, now that the Sixth Prince has been found, the bodies of the rebels in the cave are in your hands."

He was just a small civil servant, and the matter of the rebellion should be handed over to the Jinwu Guard. He thought that the prince said those words to him just to save his face and cover up for him in front of the emperor.

I never expected that I would have to give it all to him!

Song Muran's eyes almost popped out of his head, and he looked incredulous.

"Your Highness..." Song Muran looked at the deputy commander of the Jinwu Guard and considered his words, "The Jinwu Guard is still here... I am just a small civil servant, how can I..."

Jinyou interrupted him: "Master Song, why do you think so little of yourself? As for the Jinwu Guards, this prince does not trust them."

"This! Your Highness, be careful with your words!"

The Jinwu Guards are the emperor's confidants. The prince is so reckless as to say such words in front of the Jinwu Guards. Isn't it just like slapping the emperor in the face?

Only people in the Regent's Palace dare to say such head-loosening words.

Song Muran thought to himself that only by turning himself into a quail that didn't understand human language could he avoid this dispute.

Unfortunately, Jin had no intention of letting him go and dragged him into the water.

"Sir Song, if I understand correctly, you are in charge of more than just the officials in the capital. You are in charge of all matters within a fifty-li area. This Mang Mountain is not even within the fifty-li area. Why are you ignoring it? Or are you derelict in your duty?"

Song Muran wiped the sweat off his forehead. He didn't want to offend anyone, but he certainly couldn't offend the Crown Prince. He had no choice but to accept the task. "Yes, yes, I will report the Crown Prince's complete account to the Emperor."

"Well, Lord Song, just remember what you said." Jin You nodded. "I'll leave the rest of the matter to Lord Song. I'll return to the capital first."

We have to give an "explanation" to Emperor Xuan later, so we have to let Qian Kun get the credit, right?

Lu Jinyou returned by horse carriage.

At this time, the sky was bright and the city gates were wide open, but the city was not as lively as usual.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Jinyou only felt a chilling and murderous aura.

He lifted the carriage curtain, tilted his head to look at Cen Ye, and asked quietly, "Did anything big happen in the city today?"

Cen Ye shook his head, "I don't know."

There was no such atmosphere when they came to Beijing to look for Song Muran. It became like this in just one hour. I'm afraid something happened quietly without their knowledge.

As the carriage passed the Prince Regent's Palace, Qian Kun suddenly spoke up. "The Crown Prince wants to accompany me to the palace to meet His Majesty."

"Of course." Even if Qian Kun didn't mention this, Jin You would follow him to the palace on his own. What if he didn't go and the blame was put on him?

But at this time, Jinyou started to make a plan in his mind, thinking about how to get rid of everyone perfectly without arousing Emperor Xuan's suspicion.

But no matter how much she thought about it, there was no perfect solution, simply because He Zhiyi couldn't escape this time. At least because of her negligence in 'losing' Xiao Yunzhen, which led to his accidental death, this crime was confirmed the moment Emperor Xuan saw the corpse. I'm afraid she could escape the death penalty, but she couldn't escape the punishment of life!

Jinyou sighed softly. At worst, he would take this opportunity to abandon He Zhiyi, the useless chess piece!

The carriage slowly stopped at the palace gate. Jin You dismounted and followed Qian Kun into the palace. Along the way, he secretly pondered his strategy for dealing with Emperor Xuan, unaware that the palace was unusual today.

"Prince." Ying Yi took a sudden step and stood beside Jin You. "Something is not going well in the palace today. I will stay here to protect you."

Jinyou nodded. He knew that the secret guards could not enter the palace. These people had disappeared as early as when they passed by the Regent's Palace. Only Yingyi was still with him.

Otherwise, it would be too conspicuous for a group of people to wear night clothes, and they were afraid that it would arouse Emperor Xuan's suspicion?

The group did not dare to stop at all and went straight to the Qianqing Palace with the two corpses.

What surprised Jinyou was that Qingxi was actually guarding outside the Qianqing Palace and was not serving Emperor Xuan.

"Oh, Your Highness, Commander Qian, why are you two here together? The Emperor is very busy right now, I'm afraid he doesn't have time to see you."

"Please, Eunuch Xi, please go in and inform us that Commander Qian has found the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince..."

"What?!" Eunuch Xi was delighted. "The Sixth Prince was found? Where is he? Why can't I see him..."

Qingxi's eyes swept over the white cloth covering the two people, and his voice stopped abruptly as if someone had pinched his throat.

"This is?"

Qingxi saw Jinyou nod slowly, and two clear tears fell instantly.

"Is this His Highness? He's still so young, who on earth could be so cruel?"

Qingxi's shrill crying disturbed the people in the Qianqing Palace.

Suddenly, a young man's voice was heard from inside the hall, asking, "Who is making a noise outside the hall?"

Hearing the voice, Jinyou frowned subconsciously. The voice was very unfamiliar and sounded like that of a very young person.

He was intimidating without being angry, and his voice contained a sense of majesty.

"Eunuch Xi, who is in the palace?"

Qingxi fell silent, slowly shook his head, and without explaining, he simply said to the palace: "Your Majesty, the Regent Prince and Commander Qian Kun have found the Sixth Prince..."

Emperor Xuan did not answer. He only heard the male voice say, "Since you've found it, it's a happy occasion. Why are you crying? Why don't you bring the Sixth Prince in quickly?"

"Yes, I obey."

Eunuch Xi led the two of them inside with hesitation, while Yingyi stood guard outside the door.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw an imposing young man standing next to a desk, while Emperor Xuan was standing with his hands behind his back and his back to them.

"Your Majesty, we have found the Sixth Prince..."

Emperor Xuan turned around when he heard the voice, "Where is Zhen'er? Let me hold Zhen'er!"

But no one spoke for a moment. Jinyou and Qian Kun looked at each other and knelt on the ground together.

Qian Kun said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, although the Sixth Prince has been found, he has already... passed away!"

Emperor Xuan's face changed drastically, and he staggered. "What on earth is going on? How could my prince be gone? Qian Kun! I sent you to find Zhen'er, and this is how you do it? Where is Zhen'er? How could Zhen'er be gone?"

As soon as Emperor Xuan finished speaking, Qian Kun suddenly looked up, pointed at He Jinyou and said anxiously, "It's the Regent Prince! He was already here when I arrived!"

Tsk, it really is a good dog, it will bite randomly for its owner!

Before Jinyou could speak, Emperor Xuan turned to look at him and asked coldly, "Do you want to give me an explanation?"

Jin You withstood the pressure from Emperor Xuan, bowed with dignity, and told Emperor Xuan the whole story without any embellishment.

After all, lying is useless, and Qian Kun is not blind.

After hearing the whole story, Emperor Xuan was still skeptical.

Jinyou handed the broken jade pendant to Emperor Xuan, who took it with a heavy face, having already believed it halfway.

Then he walked to the white cloth, trembling all over, and slowly lifted it up.

Emperor Xuan looked at the unrecognizable child beneath the white cloth and was furious: "Bring all the bodies of the rebels to me! If you summon Ji Zhonghuan to the Dali Temple again, I will whip his corpse! Give my son an explanation!"

Jin You was disdainful. Emperor Xuan was really a good actor. He couldn't even compare to him!
