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

When Ji Zhonghuan rushed to the Qianqing Palace, there were already many people in front of the hall.

He Zhiyi was grieving in front of Emperor Xuan, crying heart-wrenchingly and unable to control herself.

The area in front of the Qianqing Palace was filled with corpses covered in white cloth, and a rough count revealed that there were about a hundred of them.

Song Muran, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, stood in front of the corpses with his men.

Ji Zhonghuan didn't know what had happened. The palace servant who called him only said that the situation was urgent but did not elaborate. As a result, he didn't know what expression he should have when facing Emperor Xuan.

However, Ji Zhonghuan has an icy face all year round, so it is not surprising whether he has any expression or not.

He bowed to Emperor Xuan and asked, "Your Majesty, why did you ask me to come here?"

Emperor Xuan's eyes were still red and he spoke with a heavy nasal tone.

"Lord Ji, as the Minister of Justice, is the best in the entire dynasty at redressing injustices and investigating cases. However, my son has passed away, and many doubts remain.

I cannot let my son die in obscurity, so I want to hand over the matter to Lord Ji and make sure to investigate the truth!

I don't believe that the wet nurse could have stolen the prince without someone telling her to do so! I want you to dig out all those involved and have them all buried with my prince!"

Ji Zhonghuan's heart skipped a beat. Which prince had died? Could it be the missing Sixth Prince?

He turned his head slightly to look at Jinyou, and seeing that Jinyou also had a sad face, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Is it really nothing to do with the prince?

Thoughts raced through his mind, but Ji Zhonghuan didn't show it on his face.

He simply said, "I, your humble servant, will obey His Majesty's orders and will not let you down. I will find the real culprit and give you an explanation."

Although he said this, his intuition told him that the matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and he did not believe that He Jinyou was not involved in this matter.

Ji Zhonghuan knew that He Jinyou would never kill Xiao Yunzhen, but he definitely knew about it.

Thinking this way, I had a plan in mind.

Emperor Xuan waved his hand wearily, "I command you to find the real culprit within three days, otherwise you will be beheaded!"

"Yes, Wei Chen takes the order."

"Everyone, go down." Emperor Xuan looked exhausted at this moment and did not want to bother with the others any longer.

After everyone left in unison, He Zhiyi threw herself on the child's body and burst into tears.

She really thought that this child was Xiao Yunzhen.

When identifying the body, she saw that the birthmark on the female corpse was exactly the same as the nanny's birthmark. She had joked with the nanny at the time that if Zhen'er could not remember the nanny's face when she grew up, she would definitely remember this birthmark.

But who would have known that before Zhen'er grew up, this birthmark had become the best basis for identifying the corpse.

Looking at the baby with its body torn to pieces and bones exposed, He Zhiyi felt regret more than once.

Why did you send Zhen'er out of the palace?

From the moment she could hear Zhen'er's inner voice, she really had the intention to kill him.

She is still very young, and she can give birth to another prince while the emperor still favors her.

So at that time she did have the same thoughts as He Jinyou said.

Get rid of Zhen'er with the help of the wet nurse.

But she regretted it the moment she gave it away.

She was restless throughout the entire banquet, thinking of the look Zhen'er gave her when she left, and the repeated words of "Mother" in her heart...

Now her wish has come true, but for some reason, her heart aches.

He Zhiyi prostrated herself on the baby's body, crying loudly, "Zhen'er! Can you please look at me again? I can't live without you... Can you forgive me and come back soon?"

No one could understand what she meant by forgiveness. Even Emperor Xuan thought she was regretting not being able to keep an eye on Xiao Yunzhen, which led to his disappearance and death.

Emperor Xuan pulled He Zhiyi up from the corpse and said, "Zhi'er, don't cry. Zhen'er is gone. Don't cry and hurt yourself."

The indifferent young man following behind Emperor Xuan suddenly cracked his stern expression for a moment when he heard the name Zhier. After glancing at He Zhiyi, his eyes returned to his indifferent attitude.

"Your Majesty, this is my child. I have lost my child. What should I do? It's only been one night, and Zhen'er has turned into a corpse... Wuuwuwu, Your Majesty, how can I live without Zhen'er? I really want to end my life with Zhen'er, but I can't bear to leave Your Majesty..."

"I will investigate who harmed Zhen'er. Don't worry, I will never treat you unfairly in the future."

This sentence is indeed what Emperor Xuan really said.

He would not treat her unfairly.

Although Xiao Yunzhen is the sixth son of Emperor Xuan, the blood of the He family flows in his body after all.

He Qianzhao's power in the court was too great, and he worried every day whether these court officials would overthrow him and support Xiao Yunzhen to sit in that position.

But now he doesn't need to worry anymore.

Xiao Yunzhen is dead, and as a mother, it is not just excessive grief that makes her die of depression, which is reasonable.

Emperor Xuan patted He Zhiyi's back gently and comforted her with words.

But the murderous intent in my heart could not be stopped.

A pair of eyes looking into the distance, murderous intent will appear unknowingly.

The young man perfectly captured the moment when the murderous intent appeared.

He couldn't help but wonder what this woman's intentions were. How could the loss of a child still arouse Emperor Xuan's murderous intent?

After all, emperors have always been ruthless since ancient times. Who would go to war over a prince who died young?

The young man was surprised by Emperor Xuan's abnormal behaviors, but he suppressed all his doubts in his heart. After reporting on his work today, he planned to find He Qianzhao to find out the truth.

Thinking of this, the young man felt that it was not appropriate for him to stay here, and then he offered to leave.

"Your Majesty, since you have been inconvenienced today, I will come again tomorrow to present my position to Your Majesty. I will take my leave for now."

Emperor Xuan was in no mood to listen to his report anymore. He waved his hand nonchalantly and told him to do as he pleased.

The young man bowed and left the palace.

Outside the palace gate, there was a young man leading two horses. When he saw someone leaving the palace, he waved to him.

"General!"

When Wanyan Yu saw the young man waving at him, his face no longer looked stern and his brows gradually relaxed.

"A Si, didn't I tell you to wait for me at the inn? Why did you come here?"

The young man handed the reins to Wanyan Yu, a little embarrassed, "I'm worried that the general will be troubled."

Wanyan Yu smiled and patted Ah Si's head. "So what if I'm being bullied? He's the sovereign, and I'm his subject. Everything he does is a gift from his majesty. Aren't we already prepared for being bullied when we return to the capital?"

Ah Si nodded in confusion, "So what does the General think of him?"

Wanyan Yu thought for a moment and answered seriously, "After meeting him today, I feel that this person is unfathomable. Even more so than my cousin."

Asi didn't know who the cousin Wanyan Yu was talking about. The general was already so powerful, so wouldn't the general's cousin be a great man?

But even more unfathomable than those who stood tall and proud, how powerful was that? Ah Si shook his head, unable to figure it out.

Wanyan Yu didn't give him any time to think about it. He took the reins and jumped on the horse.

"Don't think too much, just follow me." After saying that, he flicked the whip and galloped away.

Ah Si reacted in an instant, and Wan Yanyu had already disappeared from his sight. "Ah, General, wait for me!"

Then he jumped on his horse and chased after Wanyan Yu.

But Wanyan Yu did not go far, after all, the Regent's Palace was near the Imperial Palace.

When Asi caught up, Wanyan Yu was staring at the plaque of the Regent's Palace in a daze.

"General, are you planning to come to this place to look for someone?"

"Ah."

"Then why doesn't the general go in?"

Ah Si was puzzled. He had clearly arrived at someone's door, so why did the man have to sit on his horse and stare at the plaque in a daze, reminiscing, instead of getting off the horse and knocking on the door to look for his old friend?

"I'm a little timid." Wanyan Yu said it frankly without any pause or hesitation.

He was indeed timid and returned to his homeland again, but the country was no longer the same and the people were no longer the same.

"General..." Asi wanted to comfort him, but Wanyan Yu didn't give him the chance at all. He simply dismounted and knocked on the door of the Regent's Palace.

The door was opened from the inside, and the face of an unfamiliar person came into view.

The servant asked, "Sir, what do you want? Are you looking for someone or discussing something? Could you please tell me your name so I can help you get the message?"

"Is He Qianzhao in the mansion? You can tell him that the locust flowers are in full bloom in April, and old friends are returning."

The servant smiled and said, "You are an old friend of the prince. Please wait a moment and I will pass the message to you."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

The servant smiled and squeaked the door shut again, then turned and ran quickly to the front hall.

Everyone in the capital knows that the prince is not in the palace. No one knows where this person came from. He is covered in dirt. I am afraid he must have traveled all the way back from another place.

He couldn't decide whether to invite her into the palace, so he could only ask the prince if he wanted to meet her.

"Your Highness, an old friend of the prince has come to the palace and is waiting outside. I am not sure whether to invite him into the palace to meet him."

Jin You had just returned from the palace with Ji Zhonghuan. Ji Zhonghuan kept asking him about Xiao Yunzhen. Jin You just laughed a few times, but when he heard that an old friend was coming, he couldn't help but cheer up.

Great, I’m finally out of this misery!

At the same time, Jinyou had a vague guess in his mind that this old friend was not someone else, but the person he saw in the Qianqing Palace.

He exudes a solemn and murderous aura, and one can tell at a glance that he is someone who has lived in the army for many years and even participated in fighting on the battlefield.

She looks somewhat similar to He Zhiyi, but if you look closely, they are not very similar.

Jinyou hadn't thought about it too much when he was in the palace, but now that he was back home, an old friend came to visit.

I'm afraid it's not far from what he thought.

He put down the cup, stood up, and said hurriedly: "Please come in!"
